it's passed socialism and socialists don't even see that. The welfare states, the santuary cities, the media brainwashing the public. Like someone said earlier it is totalitarism and Obama is setting himself up to be the last president of the United States and the first Pharaoh of the world.

I consider it feudalism. The elite are the aristocracy who will control all the land and resources and the rest of us are serfs. (ownership especially of land will be forbidden for the serfs) Socialism is the belief system used to control the masses and replaces the church.
Socialism is just the means used to peacefully ?? remove the serfs from their property without it appearing as the theft it actually is. Environmentalism was used to protect the mineral resources so they would not be used before the elite could get their hands on them.
Do you really think Maurice Strong, Al Gore, the Kennedys and Rockefellers much less Obama are going to share THEIR wealth with the poor and needy to the point they are living in a rented cold water flat and driving a VW bug??? Do not make me laugh. At is just greed and power dressed up in a sugar coated pill.

CNN correspondent Jeanne Moos devoted an entire segment to the viral Obama as the Joker image on Tuesday’s Situation Room, and zeroed in on man-on-the-street reactions to it, all of whom expressed leftist horror at the picture. Moos herself suggested that “maybe it’s time to give the Joker joke a rest.”

This just shows the desperation of the neo-con religious loonies and their absolute failure to understand anything based in reality. You do realize people absolutely love Heath Ledgers portrayal of The Joker?
I do want to point something out though, and see what your response to this is. In the whole scheme of things, taking it to the very very basic level. Do you really think that the elite CAN take over the land and resources.
“The Fed Note is essentially unsound. It is the worst currency and the most dangerous that this Country has ever known... They should not have made the Government [liable on the private] debts of individuals and corporations, and, least of all, on the private debts of foreigners.”
“The Federal Reserve Banks create money out of thin air to buy Government Bonds from the U.S. Treasury . . . [creating] out of nothing a . . . debt which the American people are obliged to pay with interest.”
What amount of Government securities have the private banks acquired with bank-created money? Congressman Wright Patman answered that question too.
On January 31, 1964, all commercial banks in this country owned $62.7 billion in U.S. Government securities. The banks have acquired these securities with bank-created money. In other words, the banks have used the Federal Government's power to create money without charge to lend $62.7 billion to the Government at interest. On January 29, 1964, commercial banks had total assets amounting to $304.7 billion, and all of these had been paid for with bank-created money, except $25.4 billion which had been paid for with their stockholders' capital. In other words, less than 10 percent of the banks' assets have been acquired with money invested by stockholders in the banks. [pg 46]
It has been said that the U.S. Government goes further into debt whenever it issues currency, but makes a profit when coins are placed into circulation. This is truly a system that defies logic...The Treasury would issue these new U.S. notes through the banks, while withdrawing a like amount of Federal Reserve notes. Thus, there would be no change in the money supply. As these Federal Reserve notes are collected by the U.S. Treasury, they must be returned to the Fed to buy back or redeem the face value, the same face value in U.S. interest-bearing bonds now held by the Fed, a total of about $500 billion. So over a couple of years, we would have real U.S. currency circulating, and the U.S. debt would be reduced by substantially more than $400 [billion].
