The Obama Administration Could Soon Be Seeing 'Trails...
For anyone keeping an eye on the U.S. political scene as it has devolved over the past couple of months, health care would seem to be the only issue on the national agenda. And rightly so: In seeming to stake the success of (at least) his first term on the comprehensive reform of that system, President Obama has focused everyone’s attentions on the outcome of this whole mess. Still, as Roll Call reported on September 8 (tomorrow), “just because health care is all anyone wants to talk about, Democrats aren’t giving up on pushing a number of other controversial measures this fall.” According to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.), “Key items … [include] delivering on health insurance reform and clean energy, providing jobs by improving our infrastructure, and reining in the behavior on Wall Street that contributed to the economic downturn. We also intend to pass legislation that makes college more affordable and invest in critical domestic priorities.”
With current political efforts so focused on this health care thing, there are, really, only two possible outcomes for the fall session: 1) Obama gets his health care legislation passed — undiluted — and declares himself a victory. In this scenario he spends his political capital wisely and earns his party a nice return, thereby rendering himself able to complete the balance of his Presidential agenda. 2) Obama fails — by which we mean that either he can’t force through a health care bill in any form, or he passes something that reads to the lefter side of his party like an intolerable compromise — in the health care department and is forced to declare political bankruptcy. In this scenario, we can look forward to two or three years of Presidential timidity, at least in terms of his domestic agenda.
That is, unless of course, the President can deflect a healthy dose of negative bipartisan attention elsewhere (preferably toward the far-left, who will, in the wake of such a disaster, do their best to undo the moderate coalition that will be blamed for sinking health care reform). Which is to say that, in the event of a health care failure, he’ll need to figure out a way to send enough non-Obamian bad vibes through the U.S. political sphere that he might just be able to resurrect his first term. For that, Obama can rely on Sen. Reid, with his seemingly benign batch of proposals, or he can go all out, to the far-left end of his party, and dispatch Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio) to re-introduce HR-2997, the Space Preservation Act of 2001, and have him start screaming and yelling about Congress wasting time.
Unlike subsequent Space Preservation Acts, the 2001 version includes a clause (Sec. 7, para. 2b) that calls for “a permanent ban on space-based weapons of the United States…includ[ing] exotic weapons systems such as
- (i) electronic, psychotronic, or information weapons
- (ii) chemtrails;
- (iii) high altitude ultra low frequency weapons systems;
- (iv) plasma, electromagnetic, sonic, or ultrasonic weapons;
- (v) laser weapons systems;
- (vi) strategic, theater, tactical, or extraterrestrial weapons; and
- (vii) chemical, biological, environmental, climate, or tectonic weapons.”
As fun as the rest of all of that is — subparagraph (i) in particular — it’s that bit about chemtrails that might just save President Obama. If you’re unfamiliar with these suckers, here’s a primer. For those unwilling to click (or, in the case — as the author of the Web site implies — that link is disappeared by the Feds), the operative stuff: “What some people had dismissed as mere ‘jet plane exhaust‘ … are dismayed to realize that chemtrails are indeed the toxin-laden aerosols that have been described here and at other web sites since 1998 and they are not being sprayed for any benign or national security reason as the disinformation peddlers would have you believe.
“Nothing brings home the comprehension of the New World Order depopulation agenda than the realization that you and your family are also on the ‘useless eaters’ (Henry Kissinger) elimination list.”
That New World Order depopulation agenda? The ‘useless eaters’? The chemtrails? Those’d be the purview of the conspiracy junkies who think that there’s a secret organization running the world making eugenically informed decisions about who should get to live what sort of life, and carrying out their agenda via chemicals hidden in the contrails of jet airplanes. In other words: just the sort of folks who need a good reigning in from the Obama administration.
Also: Nothing makes a failure look like less of a failure than the reinforcement of the idea that someone — importantly, someone from the wing of the party that will be on the attack — is more unfit for office than you are. And Kucinich and his seeming belief in the contrail conspiracy makes for a great target.
Near as we can tell, if Obama wants to get his Presidency out of the weeds, it’s the Space Preservation Act or martial law. Unless, of course, he wants to bust some heads and get that health care thing through.
