A Commissar style of governance[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=times new roman,times][SIZE=3]Vladimir Lenin pioneered a double-layered style of control by Soviet Party Commissars. Every government official and military officer was doubled by a Party Commissar, who wielded the real power. The result was wild swings between radicalization and stagnation in the USSR. Nobody could act without worrying about the local Commissars, who owed their real allegiances to the Kremlin. Obama is using a similar strategy by
[COLOR=#0033cc]directing Samantha Power[/COLOR] to go wherever new SecState Hillary Clinton goes. [/SIZE][/FONT]
[SIZE=3][FONT=times new roman,times]Those two ladies hate each other, even before Power called Hillary "a monster" during the primaries. Power will report on Hillary to the White House. The Obamas are introducing a parallel staff for the major departments in the White House, to keep a jealous eye on its own appointees. The Clintons did this with the Justice Department, where Jamie Gorelick was the real power at Justice, and Janet Reno became the PR front. We know about the results in a suicidal anti-terror policy, the cynical return of the little refugee boy Elian Gonzalez to the Castro tyranny, and the Waco massacre. [/FONT][/SIZE]

A Government-Media fusion[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=times new roman,times][SIZE=3]Karl Marx told his followers "
First, conquer the Organs of Propaganda." In Marx's Germany there was no free press. Britain was one of the few examples of relative freedom in Europe, which is why Marx ended up being a foreign correspondent in London, as a ferocious public enemy of capitalism and elected governments.

[FONT=times new roman,times][SIZE=3]Last week we found out that Rahm Emmanuel, George Stephanopoulos, James Carville and Paul Begala [/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=times new roman,times][SIZE=3]have been carrying on
[COLOR=#0033cc]daily, hour-long conference calls[/COLOR] for the last
17 years, even while they were hopping from one top job to another in the White House, ABC News, and various liberal political campaigns. If you think all the big media sound oddly similar, we now now why. [/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=times new roman,times][SIZE=3]A lockstep alliance between government and the big media is a marker of radical Leftist rulers. Putin just had a couple of more journalists murdered in Moscow. That is not likely to happen here, but then, it wont be necessary. The big media are already PR flacks for the Left. Well, just to make that relationship of buyer and bought explicit, a Boston Globe journalist has just
[COLOR=#0033cc]proposed[/COLOR] a special Federal bailout for newsies who have utterly
[COLOR=#0033cc]destroyed their own audiences[/COLOR]. [/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=times new roman,times][SIZE=3]Somewhere in Hell Jozef Goebbels is smiling. [/SIZE][/FONT]

Appointing openly corrupt officials [/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=times new roman,times][SIZE=3]Obama's no-lobbyist rule is now a public joke. [/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=times new roman,times][SIZE=3]Confessed tax cheaters were propopsed for top positions, like Tom Daschle and Timothy Geithner.[/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=times new roman,times][SIZE=3] Big lobbyist power couples in Washington are being drawn in, including the
[COLOR=#0033cc]Daschles[/COLOR]. And of course we have the endless Congressional show of Democrat corruption by
[COLOR=#0033cc]Charlie Rangel[/COLOR], Chris Dodd and far too
[COLOR=#0033cc]many others[/COLOR].[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=times new roman,times][SIZE=3]The appointment of radical Greenies to positions like the "Science Czar" -- a huge self-contradiction -- are sending very bad signals to the giant Federal research establishment. [/SIZE][/FONT]

Moving against conservative media[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=times new roman,times][SIZE=3]Immediately after the election,
Fox News and
Washington Times reporters were thrown off the Obama campaign plane. Obama's
[COLOR=#0033cc]first television interview[/COLOR] just took place with terror-supporting Al-Arabiya TV, an Islamist riff on CNN. [/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=times new roman,times][SIZE=3]A Republican FCC member has warned that a disguised censorship rule giving local leftist groups additional "community input" into radio license renewals may become law
