Pamela "Atlas" Geller began her publishing career at The New York Daily News and subsequently took over operation of The New York Observer as Associate Publisher.  She left The Observer after the birth of her fourth child, but remained involved in various projects including American Associates, Ben Gurion University and being Senior Vice-President Strategic Planning and Performance Evaluation at The Brandeis School..    After  9/11, "Atlas" had the veil of oblivion violently  lifted from her consciousness and immersed herself in the education and understanding of geopolitics, Islam, terror, foreign affairs and  imminent threats the mainstream media and the government wouldn't cover or discuss.  To wit:   I am a student of history.  Professionally, I have written 15 books in six languages, and have studied history all my life.  I think there is something monumentally large afoot, and I do not believe it is just a banking crisis, or a mortgage crisis, or a credit crisis.   Yes, these exist but they are merely single facets on a very large gemstone that is only now coming into a sharper focus..   Something of historic proportions is happening.  I can sense it because I know how it feels, smells, what it looks like, and how people react to it..  Yes, a perfect storm may be brewing, but there is something happening within our country that has been evolving for about 10 - 15 years.  The pace has dramatically quickened in the past two.   We demanded and then codified into law the requirement that our banks make massive loans to people whom we knew could never pay back?   Why? We learned recently that the Federal  Reserve, which has little or no real oversight by anyone, has "loaned" two  trillion dollars (that is $2,000,000,000,000) over the past few months, but will not tell us to whom or why or disclose the  terms.  That is our money. Yours and mine.   And that is three times the $700B we all argued about so strenuously just this past September.   Who has this money?  Why do they have it?  Why are the terms unavailable to us?  Who  asked for it?  Who authorized it?  I thought this was a government of"We the People," who loaned our powers to our elected leaders.  Apparently not.   We have spent two or more decades intentionally de-industrializing our economy.   Why?    We have intentionally dumbed down our schools, ignored our history, and no longer teach our founding documents, why we are exceptional, and why we are worth preserving.  Students by and large cannot write, think critically, read, or articulate.  Parents are not revolting, teachers are not picketing, school boards continue to back mediocrity.  Why?   We have now established the precedent of protesting every close election (now violently in California over a proposition that is so controversial that it wants marriage to remain between one man and one woman. Did you ever think such a thing possible just a decade ago?).  We have corrupted our sacred political process by allowing unelected judges to write laws that radically change our way of life, and then mainstream Marxist groups like ACORN and others to turn our voting system into a banana republic..  To what purpose?   Now our mortgage industry is collapsing, housing prices are in free fall, major industries are failing, our banking system is on the verge of collapse, Social Security is nearly bankrupt, as is Medicare and our entire government.  Our education system is worse than a joke (I teach college and know precisely what I am talking about.)  The list is staggering in its length, breadth, and depth.  It is potentially 1929 x 10.  And we are at war with an enemy we cannot name for fear of offending people of the same religion who cannot wait to slit the throats of your children if they have the opportunity to do so.   And now we have elected a man no one knows anything about, who has never run so much as a Dairy Queen, let alone a town as big as Wasilla , Alaska .  All of his associations and  alliances are with real radicals in their chosen  fields of employment, and everything we learn about him, drip by drip, is unsettling if not downright scary (Surely you have heard him speak about his idea to create and fund a mandatory civilian defense force stronger than our military for use inside our  borders?  No?  Oh, of course.  The media would never play that for you over and over and then demand he answer it.  Sarah Palin's pregnant daughter and $150,000 wardrobe is more important.)   Mr. Obama's winning platform can be boiled down to one word: Change...radical change.   Why?   I have never been so afraid for my country and for my children as I am now.  This man campaigned on bringing people together, something he has never, ever done in his professional life.  In my assessment, Obama will divide us along philosophical lines, push us apart, and then try to realign the pieces into a new and different power structure.   Change is  indeed coming.  And when it comes, you will never see the same nation again.   And that is only the beginning.   I thought I would never be able to experience what the ordinary, moral German felt in the mid-1930s.  In those times, the savior was a former smooth-talking rabble-rouser from the streets, about whom the average German knew next to nothing.  What they did know was that he was associated with groups that shouted, shoved, and pushed around people with whom they disagreed; he edged his way onto the political stage through great oratory and promises. Economic times were tough, people were losing jobs, and he was a great speaker.  And he smiled and waved a  lot.  And people, even newspapers, were afraid to speak out for fear that his "brown shirts" would bully them into submission.   And  then he was duly elected to office, with a  full-throttled economic crisis at hand [the  Great Depression].  Slowly but surely he  seized the controls of government power,  department by department, person by person,  bureaucracy by bureaucracy.   The kids joined a Youth Movement in his name,  where they were taught what to  think.  How did he get the people on  his side?  He did it promising jobs to the  jobless, money to the moneyless, and goodies for  the military-industrial  complex.  He  did it by indoctrinating the children,  advocating gun control, health care for all,  better wages, better jobs, and promising to  re-instill pride once again in the country,  across Europe , and across the  world.   He did it with a compliant media - Did you know that? And he did this all in the name of justice and...change. And the people surely got what they voted for.  (Look it up if you  think I am exaggerating.)  Read your history books.   Many people objected in  1933 and were shouted down, called names,  laughed at, and made fun of.  When Winston   Churchill pointed out the obvious in the late  1930s while seated in the House of Lords in   England (he was not yet Prime Minister), he was  booed into his seat and called a crazy troublemaker.  He was right, though.   Don't forget that Germany was the most educated, cultured country in Europe .  It was full of  music, art, museums, hospitals, laboratories,  and universities. And in less than six  years - a shorter time span than just two terms   of the U. S. presidency - it was rounding up its  own citizens, killing others, abrogating its  laws, turning children against parents, and  neighbors against neighbors.  All with the  best of intentions, of course.  The road to  Hell is paved with them.   As a practical thinker, one not overly prone to emotional decisions, I have a choice:  I  can either believe what the objective pieces of  evidence tell me (even if they make me cringe  with disgust); I can believe what history is  shouting to me from across the chasm of seven  decades; or I can hope I am wrong, close my eyes, have another latte and ignore what is transpiring around me.   Some people scoff at me; others laugh or think I am foolish, naive, or both..  Perhaps I  am.  But I have never been afraid to look people in the eye and tell them exactly what I believe - and why I believe it.  I pray I am wrong.  But, I do not think I am. ******************************************* Since many of you enjoy senior citizen status or will sometime in the not too distant future, I thought you might be interested in this information. IN GOD WE TRUST   Everybody that is on this mailing list is either a senior citizen, is getting close, or knows somebody that is.   Most of you know by now that the Senate version (at least) of the "stimulus" bill includes provisions for extensive rationing of health care for senior citizens. The author of this part of the bill, former senator and tax evader, Tom Daschle, was credited today by Bloomberg with the following statement..   Bloomberg: "Daschle says health-care reform will not be pain free.  Seniors should be more accepting of the conditions that come with age instead of treating them." If this does not sufficiently raise your ire, just remember that Senators and Congressmen have their own healthcare plan that is first dollar or very low co-pay which they are guaranteed the remainder of their lives and are not subject to this new law if it passes.   PASSED ON BY:  AMERICANS FOR AMERICA
