The administration’s not-so-subtle attempts
to control every aspect of American life: religion, free-speech, military
intervention against citizens, and attempts at illegal search and seizure.
Information is king and mirrors some of the techniques that will be used by the
Antichrist during the Tribulation.
Sleight
of Hand
Illusionists use tricks of distraction and
deception to mask what they are really doing. So, the Obama administration,
aided by sycophants in Congress, the media, and deceived followers, is taking
advantage of a gullible, trusting public to mold our society into his vision.
This vision has been shaped by such fine, upstanding citizens (he says with
tongue firmly planted in his cheek) as Bill Ayres, Bernadette Dorn, Jeremiah
Wright, George Soros, and their ilk.
The words he speaks; as long as they are
first presented on a teleprompter and craftily word-smithed, are being accepted
as true by the masses. Figures lie and
liars figure is an accepted adage of modern times.
Unemployment
Statistics
For example, the unemployment statistics
produced and celebrated by the government as proof of the success of their
policies look and sound good. That is, until one examines the assumptions
undergirding them. The 8% the nation is crowing over is, in reality, closer to
21% unemployment when one considers the fake assumptions the published
statistic is based upon. The low published number ignores that the following
are not considered part of the workforce:
1.
Persons
Under 16
2.
Inmates
3.
Non-Civilian
Population (Armed Forces)
4.
Persons
who do not have jobs, and who have not been actively seeking work in the prior
4 weeks.
The average American cannot decipher the
arcane comments in the February Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics
report published February 3, 2012.
For instance, what does the Bureau mean when
it reports on a household survey:
The
unemployment rate declined by 0.2 percentage point in January to 8.3 percent;
the rate has fallen by 0.8 point since August. (See table A-1.) The number of
unemployed persons declined to 12.8 million in January. (See the note and
tables B and C for information about annual population adjustments to the
household survey estimates.)
Among the major worker groups, the unemployment rates for
adult men (7.7 percent) and blacks (13.6 percent) declined in January. The
unemployment rates for adult women (7.7 percent), teenagers (23.2 percent),
whites (7.4 percent), and Hispanics (10.5 percent) were little changed. The
jobless rate for Asians was 6.7 percent, not seasonally adjusted. (See tables
A-1, A-2, and A-3.)
In January, the number of job losers and persons who
completed temporary jobs fell to 7.3 million. The number of long-term
unemployed (those jobless for 27 weeks or more) was little changed at 5.5
million and accounted for 42.9 percent of the unemployed. (See tables A-11 and
A-12.)
After accounting for the annual adjustments to the
population controls, the employment-population ratio (58.5 percent) rose in
January, while the civilian labor force participation rate held at 63.7
percent. (See table A-1. For additional information about the effects of the
population adjustments, see table C.)
The number of persons employed part time for economic
reasons, at 8.2 million, changed little in January. These individuals were
working part time because their hours had been cut back or because they were
unable to find a full-time job. (See table A-8.)

John Williams at Shadow Government Statistics
shows an unemployment rate in the mid-20s percentile. See http://www.shadowstats.com/alternate_data/unemployment-charts

Back to
Sleight of Hand
In the last century and before, the rule
called Caveat Emptor (let the buyer
beware) was pretty much a universal rule for commerce.
The Obama posse has become adept at diverting
attention from their real agenda to change America into a socialist nation with
control firmly resting in the hands of the government. When Rahm Emanuel served
as Obama’s chief of staff, he continually referred to the value of stirring up
enough things that they could take advantage of in their efforts to remake the
United States in the image of Marx, Lenin, Franklin D. Roosevelt, et al.
Emanual thinks that in chaos there is victory.
We can look to Obama to be involved in so
many efforts that the average American will be unable to keep up and he will be
able to pull off the illusionary diversions masking his true purpose. He’s
already got us so concerned with losing our jobs or income.
Is
Someone Buying Protection for Obama?
With the obfuscation surrounding the birth
documentation of the president and his subsequent life, can it be that there
are wealthy individuals buying off ethically-challenged people and
organizations which possess the data? It is interesting that, so far, no one has
had the courage to come out with anything to counter the assertions of the
president. To date, no substantive proof has been revealed to establish Obama’s
fairy tales as being true.
