Steve Winn, tells it like it is! What’s really amazing is that CNBC actually aired this—CNBC, one of the WH’s favorite propaganda machines! It is reported that not even 2 hours after Steve Wynn’s interview he received a invitation from the tenants at 1600 Pennsylvania blvd, Washington , DC . 20500 wanting him to explain in person why he said what he said !!!

View his short interview. Steve is a Multi Billionaire, Hotelier and Real Estate Investor in Las Vegas , Asia and Macau . He’s been a guest from time to time on all the network financial news programs. If you listen to this recent CNBC interview (short & to the point) and nothing else today, you will be better informed than your neighbor about the current state of the union under the Democratic Party leadership. I would suggest sharing this with your children so they know what to expect once they’re faced with the results.

(There will be a short CNBC header before the interview begins.)

The left-leaning socialist democracies of Europe are in big trouble. Numerous articles are appearing about the problems faced by their never-ending cycle of debt caused by spiraling cost of their cradle-to-grave welfare systems their aging populations and their declining productivity.

Ever since WWII the US has assumed much of the defense responsibility and protected Europe from most of its costs. In that favorable environment Europe has voted themselves more and more personal benefits with generous pension plans, light work schedules, extensive vacation allowances, free healthcare, and the results of this generosity is now showing up in declining tax coffers and increasing public debt. Today the Euro is tanking while Greece is rioting.

Public expenditures as a percentage of the GNP in Europe have increased dramatically while the population is aging and there are fewer and fewer young people to pay the taxes to perpetuate the system. Today even the NY Times has joined in the fray with an article by Steven Erlanger about the severity of Europe’s economic woes. Certainly it is a true mark of severity when even the Times, that great bastion of liberal thought has to weigh in and point out the failures just at a time when the US is jumping in to follow the European liberal pathway. Of course it also makes us wonder about the security of Mr Erlanger’s tenure at the paper considering how the article diverts from the Old Gray Lady’s leftist editorial policies of recent years.

Europe is experiencing a wide divergence between public sector and private sector pay and benefits. In Greece today when a bankrupt government is forced to make cuts the people are rioting in the streets. Public promises are unfulfilled and there is widespread dissatisfaction among the populace. Surprise surprise! A few famous quotes come to mind, such as: “There ain’t no such thing as a free lunch” and “The problem with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people’s money.”

Perhaps the best quote illustrating the situation in both Europe and to an only slightly lesser degree in the US is one attributed to an obscure Scottish writer and historian of the late eighteenth century, Alexander Tytler, “A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the majority discovers it can vote itself largess out of the public treasury. After that, the majority always votes for the candidate promising the most benefits with the result the democracy collapses because of the loose fiscal policy ensuing, always to be followed by a dictatorship, then a monarchy.”

We in the US should be taking note of the folly of the European Socialist model. Instead the current Obama administration is plunging headlong into what is a proven failing system of non-governance. What Europe is facing in the next five to 10 years is our future as well if we continue to follow their path as our Washington leadership is directing.

We have enacted numerous laws for grand sounding goals of environmental responsibility, workplace safety, consumer protection, employee rights, and the like that have the effect of handcuffing private businesses as compared with their foreign competition. Unions have won generous benefits that lower work weeks, reduce performance standards, raise benefits packages, and paint the employer as a opponent to be manipulated at will. Our elected representatives have legislated minimum pay, maximum work hours, required benefits, and numerous other grand sounding goals. The result is a migration of jobs away from our shores. Once upon a time workers took pride in their company. They worked hard to make it succeed because when the company succeeds the employees and their community benefit as well. Unfortunately that is all too often an outdated model in many workplaces in the US today. Today the average worker likely views the employer as the enemy, not as the “team captain”. Can you imagine what would happen if a football team took that view of their team captain? Last placeville comes to mind.

Jobs are leaving our shores to go elsewhere where there is a more business friendly environment. Farmers here are increasingly denied using effective pesticides and cost efficient methods so they are producing less of many of our popular food crops. As a result we are importing those items from countries that do not so regulate their growers. Does that make our food supply more safe? There have been a number of outbreaks of diseases from tainted imported foods have appeared in recent years. Lead contamination in toys from China and similar problems from products from other developing nations have recently surfaced. We regulate our producers out of business, but allow products from unregulated producers in foreign countries to enter our markets and compete unfairly.

Government jobs when I was a kid back in the 40s and 50s paid less than the private sector. However, they compensated by providing more job security and benefits. Today in the age of public employee unions the public jobs in the US are paying over 20% more than comparable jobs in the private sector. They generally require less effort expended by the employee, more fringe benefits and often promise fantastic early retirements. There is little or no threat of layoffs and productivity is often not required. Private companies can simply not compete because when their employees do not produce enough work to justify their pay they can not simply raise taxes to make up the difference. Their only choice is layoffs or shut downs.

What we as a nation have embarked upon is not sustainable and we will find ourselves very soon in the same pot with the failing nations of Europe. Already we do not have the intestinal fortitude to protect our borders. We have allowed political correctness to replace common sense. We will not hold anyone responsible for their own blunders but assess blame to others for our own stupidities.  If we spill coffee in our lap and burn ourselves we sue McDonalds, if we drop and break a bottle of soda and slip in the mess breaking a hip we sue WalMart.  Where does it end?

Our own government sets the tone. Instead of standing up to their failures and learning from the experience to correct the deficiencies they seek some scapegoat to demonize such as the “rich bankers”, “greedy capitalists”, or the ever popular “George Bush Administration”. There are some very hard decisions to be made in our near future and if we do not stand up to the plate and face them objectively we, as a nation will most certainly go the way of the Dodo.

In the wise words of Pogo Possum, “We have met the enemy and he is us.” Read Mr Erlanger’s excellent article in the Times,  compare the Europe he describes and the US of today, and then pray for America that God will deliver us from ourselves.

The following was published by the European Times on April 9th, 2010:

A new report circulating in the Kremlin today authored by France’s Directorate-General for External Security (DGSE) and recently “obtained” by the FSB shockingly quotes French President Nicolas Sarkozy [photo top right with Obama] as stating that President Barack Obama is “a dangerous[ly] aliéné”, which translates into his, Obama, being a “mad lunatic”, or in the American vernacular, “insane”.

According to this report, Sarkozy was “appalled” at Obama’s “vision” of what the World should be under his “guidance” and “amazed” at the American Presidents unwillingness to listen to either “reason” or “logic”. Sarkozy’s meeting where these impressions of Obama were formed took place nearly a fortnight ago at the White House in Washington D.C., and upon his leaving he “scolded” Obama and the US for not listening closely enough to what the rest of the World has to say.

Apparently, as this report details, the animosity between Sarkozy and Obama arose out of how best the West can deal with the growing threat posed by rising Islamic fundamentalism. Both Sarkozy and his European neighbors had previously been supported in their efforts by the United States in forming an alliance to strengthen the integration of Muslim peoples into their societies, and has including France and Belgium moving to ban the wearing of burqa’s.

European fears over their growing Muslim populations appear to be valid as the growing immigration and birth rates of these Islamic peoples are warned is causing the “Eurabiazation” of the Continent and within a few generations will see them become the majority of nearly all of the EU Nations.

The greatest threat to these Western Nations posed by the Muslim peoples becoming the majority of their populations lies in their likelihood of destroying the Global Banking System which according to their faith is firmly rooted in “satanic” evil and “must” be replaced by an Islamic one.

[Note: Islamic banking refers to a system of banking or banking activity that is consistent with the principles of Islamic law (Sharia) and its practical application through the development of Islamic economics. Sharia prohibits the payment or acceptance of interest fees for the lending and accepting of money respectively, (Riba, usury) for specific terms, as well as investing in businesses that provide goods or services considered contrary to its principles (Haraam, forbidden).

Obama, on the other hand, doesn’t share the views of his European allies and has, instead, embarked upon a course of embracing the Muslim peoples of the World and to the shock of all has overturned the Bush era ban on the radical Swiss born Muslim Cleric Tariq Ramadan from entering the United States, last year ordered the US government bailed out General Electric Capital Corporation to became the first Western multinational to issue an Islamic bond, and this past week commanded that all of his governments security documents eliminate the words “Islamic extremism” and “jihad”.

Sarkozy in these reports further warns that by Obama’s “unrestrained” and “destabilizing” actions an already tense Global situation is growing ever more catastrophic as America’s once stalwart allies are being cast aside in favor of a New World Order where instead of the United States securing its vital energy future through conquest and war it will now do so by appeasement to some of the most violent and radical regimes on Earth, and as we can see exampled:

In Egypt…where the 30-year reign of the stalwart US ally President Hosni Mubarak is being allowed by Obama to fall so that this most vital of Middle Eastern countries can be ruled by the former head of the United Nations nuclear watchdog agency, Mohamed ElBaradei, who allowed through his appeasement the Persian Nation of Iran to gain the knowledge, equipment and expertise needed to build an atomic bomb.

In Turkey…where Obama in failing to stop, like all American Presidents before him, his Congress from passing a law blaming that critical Eurasian Nation for the 1915 Armenian genocide left Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdoğan no choice but to recall his ambassador to the US.

In Kyrgyzstan…where Obama failed to stop a revolution against the American installed President thus allowing Russian Prime Minister Putin to achieve his goal of revolutionary change for that critical Central Asian Nation and putting in jeopardy the United States war in Afghanistan as the new Kyrgyz government prepares to throw the Americans out of their country thus depriving them of their main air supply route to their already undersupplied troops battling the Afghan Taliban.

In India…where by Obama’s failing to support the Indians fight against Pakistani backed Muslim terrorists has caused the second most powerful Asian Nation to turn towards Iran rebuffing all Western attempts to isolate them and instead of their participating in Obama’s Global Nuclear Summit have, instead, agreed to attend the Iranians.

In Pakistan…where just this week Obama gave this vital American ally a “public slap on the wrist” by denying to them the same nuclear deal he had previously given to India thus insuring the Pakistani military will cease their support for American troops in Afghanistan battling the Taliban.

In Afghanistan…where Obama has engaged in a public war with his ally President Karzai who because so enraged he threatened this past week to change his allegiance from the Americans to the Taliban.

In Israel…where Obama has so demoralized and demonized their once most reliable ally that Prime Minister Netanyahu has just announced he will not attend Obama’s Global Nuclear Summit because of his fears that the American President will not keep Egypt and Turkey under control thus threatening the Israelis nuclear supremacy over their Middle Eastern enemies who have sworn to destroy them.

In Brazil…where Obama has ordered his Defense Secretary Robert Gates to sign an historic defense agreement with this South American nuclear power whose President, Lula da Silva, has praised Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, slammed Israel, and has announced his intentions to visit Iran next month.

To all of these actions (and too many more to mention in this short report) Russian Military Analysts warn that Obama has pushed our world towards total global war more than any single leader since Nazi Germany’s Adolph Hitler, to which Russia and China are, likewise, preparing to confront to stop the Americans.

Most unfortunately for those Americans living under the Obama regime is that their attempts to stop the radical socialism he has pushed upon them from destroying their once great Nation has failed as new reports from the United States are showing that in under two years Obama and his cohorts have succeeded in making nearly 50% of these people support the other 50% who aren’t working. (And which really should surprise none of them as during his campaign for the Presidency he openly vowed to “redistribute the wealth”, but which history has always shown makes everyone a pauper, except for the elites that is.)

For any of the few Americans left daring to oppose Obama we had previously warned about the massive death camps he is preparing for them, but which these most strange of peoples continue to deny the existence of in their naïve belief that if they choose not to believe a thing it makes it not true. (If this behavior sounds familiar it is only because Obama and his cohorts have, literally, used the same playbook used by the Nazis against the once free German people.)

And for those even daring to expose the truth of what is being done to the American people Obama took the unprecedented step this week of authorizing for the first time in American history his secret government intelligence services to assassinate one of their own citizens without benefit of trial leaving every human rights organization in the World in shock, including Tina Foster of the US-based International Justice Network who said, “I am in shock that they would do this. It is shocking that our Government would go to these extremes, even depriving someone of their life without a legal process.”

Now to if Sarkozy’s grim and dire assessment of Obama is true or not it is not in our knowing, nor do these reports say. But, it is important to note that nearly all of the longstanding allies of the United States Obama has turned his back on are, admittedly, some really bad (to say the least) leaders who no one in their right mind would want to live under.

And too Obama’s apparent appeasement of Islamic terrorists there is growing evidence of his maybe throwing all his marbles (so to speak) in “one fell swoop”, and as evidenced by the 195 smart, guided, Blu-110 bombs and 192 massive 2000lb Blu-117 bombs he last month authorized Florida based Superior Maritime Services Concord to “immediately” ship from California to the massive US Air Force base on Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean, which is in striking distance of Iran and if all of them were dropped on the Iranians would, literally, destroy them.

In finding the deliberately hidden clues as to what will happen as The Great Game nears its inevitable climax all caution must be taken, including to whom you might tell your most secret of thoughts, and as evidenced in the United States this past week should NEVER be voiced to your children, and as we can read as reported by the Info Wars News Service:

“A family in Williamson County, Austin have lost custody of their 7-year-old son as part of a Child Protective Services investigation because the parents taught their children to mistrust the government, an action that deemed them to be “unsuitable parents,” according to charges leveled by police officers in CPS documents.”

And to those still mocking the truths of these times, who continually fail to see what lies before them, we can only say you’re being the good and obedient lemmings you were brought up to be. So go back to sleep and dream the sweetest dreams you can, because before you know it you’ll be awakening in a living nightmare as those as ignorant as you, throughout all of history, have learned to their peril and loss.

To everyone else in America we can only advise you to begin stocking up for the End of the World….you won’t be alone.
