Chicago School

The Chicago School crowd that engineered Milton Friedman’s policy of using crises to accomplish political objectives is in total control of the Obama Administration. Nearly everyone in the White House and other bureaucracies controlled by the President is influenced by the Chicago School. This includes many in the wildly corrupt Daley machine that pushed Obama into office. The Chicago School in Washington is using the same crisis tactics on Americans they have used on countless countries around the world for many years, according to The Shock Doctrine, a well-researched book detailing the origin and uses of crisis for political gain. The author says Milton Friedman, chief economist at the Chicago School, developed the idea that major economic change can only take place alongside some drastic occurrence when it is easier to get the public to accept policies they would never agree to in the absence of severe trauma. Because of the necessity of acting quickly, Friedman suggested within six to nine months, there need to be alternative plans already in place so they can be implemented immediately. He further suggests a prime activity of economic planners is to develop and keep alive ideas to use when politically unthinkable actions become reasonable behind a disaster. The actions must be quick and irreversible, so that once in place, they can’t be changed, before the populace gets over the shock they have received and begins to revert to their old ways.

 Is this not happening right now in Washington? Since President Obama took office, the major crises I can think of resulted in bailouts of gigantic corporations in the finance and automotive industries. Supposedly, much of the money given to these companies has been repaid; I am not certain this is true, but even if it is the money is not being used to retire the national debt. It has simply created a huge slush fund for the Administration to use as it pleases with little oversight or transparency. I think these bailouts, though distasteful, probably were necessary to bolster the failing economy. However, the Chicago School then used the specter of health care catastrophe, aided by several health insurance companies announcing outrageous rate increases, to cram European style Socialized Health Care down our throats. Over the next weeks I will show how they have plans backed up to further take over and control our lives in the way of a Communist nation like the former Soviet Union.

 The next crisis to come along was engineered as a way to take over the finance industry centered on Wall Street. Voters hate Wall Street, so this will be an easier sell than most Obama takeover  ideas. The crisis conjured to cram down this takeover is the belated SEC civil fraud suit against Goldman Sachs. I don’t intend to defend Goldman; it appears they may have done nothing illegal, but if they were betting against their own products, as alleged, they should have told their investors in fairness. What is important here is the timing of the SEC suit, at the same time the Obama crowd is selling the idea that Wall Street is a deeply rotten crowd, trying to screw the little guys out of their hard-earned wealth. So here comes the good old Obama government  to protect everyone with legislation that will severely regulate the financial industry and complete their planned government takeover. There is no coincidence to the timing of the SEC action. The New York Post and others have also remarked the SEC action was not a coincidence?it was perfectly timed to accomplish a takeover of Wall Street, the ultimate result of which could be a government-run economy in the Communist tradition.

 Before going further, some of you will say I have copied Rush Limbaugh with this idea. I have not; I began thinking this way when the Goldman story broke. Further, I never listen to Rush and agree with few of his ideas; I only found out about what he said while researching Google for this blog. What I’m saying here is solely my own opinion; I’m flattered I’m not the only person who believes as I do.

 The Goldman crisis does not end with the SEC; now the Justice Department is threatening a criminal indictment of the company. If you follow these things you will note the ultimate demise of very large companies after criminal convictions. The trail of company demise includes E F Hutton in 1985, Drexel Burnham Lambert in 1988, and Arthur Anderson LLP in 2002. It is inconceivable to me that the Democrats will allow one of their largest cash cows, Goldman Sachs, to be convicted and, perhaps, go out of business. In fact, the state-run media, through The Washington Post and others, are already saying how difficult a criminal prosecution might be citing the Bear Stearns case the government lost; this is laying the ground work for what is going to happen in the next few months.

 The Chicago School in the Administration has already planned how to use Goldman Sachs to accomplish another objective in addition to taking over the financial industry. The Democrats are facing the possibility of massive Congressional losses in November, so they have a plan to bolster their position. They know voters despise Wall Street, so they plan to keep the idea of bad-to-the-core financial firms in front of everyone, right up until the election. At predetermined intervals the Justice Department will issue press releases about a possible criminal indictment of Goldman, right up to election day. Then the criminal indictment will simply go away, lost in after election turmoil. The Democrats hope their appearing to protect all the little guys will keep them from losing some Congressional seats.

 There you have it. Goldman Sachs, probably a willing participant in the scheme, is being used to cram financial takeover down our throats, while, at the same time, it is being used to win political advantage in the upcoming November election. It’s the Chicago School way.

 My goal in writing about the use of crisis is to get a few readers interested enough to demand a stop to these cram down tactics. Take note of what is happening and act upon it. You won’t get another chance. Once a cram becomes law it becomes almost impossible to undo it, so start calling your Senators and Representatives right now about everything. This is the positive way to counter a very negative situation.

A lot of bad things have come out of Chicago. “Bad Jimmy” Connorton, the acquitted killer of “Doc” Haggerty died here in 1893. Then came the mobs, led by Al Capone, along with the likes of  Sam Giancana whose friendship with Joe Kennedy saved him from arrest.

 Republican Governor George Ryan and friends created schemes for granting contracts and licenses in return for bribes. A terrible accident in another state resulted in his conviction on charges of racketeering, bribery, and extortion. The Governor is now serving a six and one-half year sentence. Guess who replaced him? ROD BLAGOJEVICH! The Daley regime, father and son, has spanned many years as mayors of Chicago. Bob Crawford, retired political editor for a Chicago radio station, says the city has prospered under the Daleys, but the price is corruption. How could it be otherwise during such long autocratic reigns?

 There are other, perhaps much worse, influences surrounding the Chicago political scene. In addition to the mob, there are more extreme elements including Bill Ayers. Ayers founded the violent radical left organization, Weather Underground. This activist group opposed the Vietnam War by bombing public buildings in the ‘60s and ‘70s. He avoided prison on several legal technicalities. He is now Distinguished Professor of Education and Senior University Scholar in the College of Education at the University of Illinois at Chicago. Isn’t our educational system wonderful? We allow criminals to influence our leaders of tomorrow to bomb buildings and kill people who disagree with their ideas. What a future we can look forward to under their leadership.

 Next, consider the religious training our President and his family have had for the past 20 years or so. The Reverend Jeremiah Wright is certainly among the most violent, inflammatory, and disgusting “preachers” there ever has been. His often quoted anti-American speech which included “God damn America” numerous times and blames all of us citizens for the events of 9/11 is beyond belief. But the Obamas and the state controlled media passed it off as inconsequential. Perhaps you think it means nothing, as well. I hope you are correct, but years of that kind of inflammatory rhetoric must have made some impression on our leaders, many of whom call Chicago home.

 Finally, there is the influence of the Chicago School of Economics, based at the University of Chicago, which has as the backbone of its philosophy the teachings of Milton Friedman. I vigorously subscribe to his ideas of keeping government intervention out of business. Apparently his protégés now in power did not get that part of his thinking. What they did get was the idea first promulgated by Niccolo Machiavelli around the 15^th Century, “never waste the opportunities offered by a good crisis.” Dr. Friedman used some form of it and Rahm Emmanuel, White House Chief of Staff, and many other liberal Democrats are currently using it as a reason to quickly use a perceived catastrophe to force monumental change on the public before they have time to realize what is happening. The Chicago School has used this strategy for many years to force colossal change on troubled economies around the world. If you want to see how this has played out on the global platform, read Naomi Klein’s book, The Shock Doctrine. They also used the ideas that the first 100 days after an event were when the original actions should be made and then completed within six to nine months. Otherwise people affected will see what the government is doing and revert back to their original thinking. Does any of this seem familiar? Is this not exactly what is happening on so many different fronts at once? The economy, so-called global warming, healthcare, closing Gitmo and freeing terrorists, and all the other ideas being quickly pushed through Congress? We all wanted some kind of change, but do we really want the corrupting ideas from a small group of Chicago fanatics?

 Not much anyone can do until the Congressional races next year. It may be some of us can benefit by figuring how to grab some of that cash that is flowing in trillions from Washington daily. Good luck; the tax man has to be close behind.
