Up The Creek Without a Paddle 

 By: Jack Dawsey

For 2-years I have been publishing my editorials to the people of Sampson County in the Sampson Sun, and posting them on my web site: www.theexegetist.com

Thanks to Ms. Donna Bass, she has allowed me the space and liberty to write my opinions in her paper, without filter or requiring me to leave my mind hanging on a nail, as some editor’s demand. 

To you Sampsonians, I thank you for reading my articles and I thank you for the kind letters and emails you’ve sent.  By now you have noticed that most of my articles have been financial in scope and nature, always advocating your best interest. In this week’s editorial, I pull another political thread through that cloth.  But first, consider this.

The current propaganda coming out of America’s TV and cable news media-outlets makes Germany’s 1930’s Goebbels Propaganda Machine, second class.  Comparatively speaking, Goebbels was a lightweight.

To hear some in the media tell it, Obama is to blame for the BP oil disaster, the war, and all the government graft and corruption for the past 30-years, having reached its zenith during the Bush Administration.  Some believe, jokingly speaking, that Obama is responsible for the ingrown toe-tails of the elderly living in local nursing homes. 

Instead of shedding light, (conservative and liberal media) tend to fogify and cloud the issue.  For example, have you noticed that Congress has held numerous financial hearings to determine the cause that bankrupt this great nation, and found nothing?   Isn’t it amazing?  Where are the investigative reporters?  Where are the reporters like the Watergate era, when they nailed President Nixon and his cronies to the barn door in shame?  Where were the investigative reporters when Wall Street and our banks lost $trillions of your money in fantasy loans while Congress was asleep at the switch?

After losing $trillions, the investment bankers petitioned Congress and demanded the taxpayer replace their losses, and Congress obliged.  They even had the audacity to ask for a surcharge to your credit card, and Congress obliged. 

By the way, have you ever heard a Congressman ask one of the Wall Street CEO’s or an insurance investment bankster what happen to all of their depositor’s money?  Have you heard a Congressman ask, “Where did the money go?”  Have you heard them ask, “You mean to tell me you didn’t know the money was disappearing from your bank, and if you didn’t know, aren’t you guilty of criminal negligence?” 

I do believe that Obama when he was a U.S. Senator is responsible, in part, for helping Congress to legalize Credit Default Swaps.  In that respect, his vote(s) gave the investment bankers and insurance companies a legal way to steal Reserves so that no criminal charges could be brought against them by plaintiffs.

In all the injustice(s) done to the taxpayer, 2000  – 2008, there was silence.  There was silence until the Tea Party rallied in 2009 and railed against Obama which makes their motive, suspicious.  Their militancy and anger scares me more than the Wall Street banksters.

Other than the militant tea-baggers and noise makers on Faux News, I think most people do care.  In my opinion, they are concerned and frightened, but when they look for leadership, they find none from their republican and democrat representatives.  It seems that our politicians have become a joke, as evidenced by the mindless minions in power that inhabit federal and state government.

And have you noticed the liberal media’s sudden turn against Obama now that BP has a hole in the ocean floor that is destroying our eco-system?  Could it be they smell defeat in November and want to cut their losses now to save face?

And finally I ask, do you suppose the American people will revert back and reelect the same old crowd that first wrecked our economy by driving it into the ditch during the Bush years?   I don’t know, but when choices for leadership are twiddle-de or twiddle-dumb, that’s like being “up the creek” without a paddle.  If you ask me our canoe has sprung a leak and we are sinking into the mire.  Who is going to bail us out when we lose everything?
