Biden Nominates Yet Another Commie

In what must be just the wildest of coincidences, the administration has nominated another questionable nominee, this time Yet Another Commie (YAC) to high federal office.  This time the office is Comptroller of the Currency, the nation's highest banking official, and the nominee is Saule Omarova.  

Ms. Omarova isn't the typical leftist YAC kid from the US who went to a big lefty school in the US and was indoctrinated in how wonderful communism is; she was actually born in Kazakhstan, part of the former Soviet Union. 

Omarova graduated from the Soviet Union’s Moscow State University in 1989 on the Lenin Personal Academic Scholarship, according to the Wall Street Journal. As recently as 2019, she was still praising the USSR’s economic system as in some ways superior to our own. “Say what you will about old USSR, there was no gender pay gap there. Market doesn’t always ‘know best.'”

One report that I heard said that she was in the US during the tumultuous period when the USSR collapsed.  She spoke some English but certainly wasn't fluent in it, and still has a dense accent.  Nevertheless, she apparently applied to be allowed to stay and was granted the privilege.  Unlike any other former Soviet or refugee from any communist country that I've ever seen or hear speak, she apparently liked the the old country's way of doing things and thinks more government control is a good thing.  You might gather that from the last sentence quoted above. 

Among the first things she has said is that she wants to destroy all the banks in America.  Not just your big, national-name and "too big to fail" banks; she wants all banks to go away.  From what I can see everything from your neighborhood small bank or local credit union to the big national banks like Chase, Citicorp, Wells Fargo and so on.  All banking will be done through the Federal Reserve Bank so if your local bank survives at all, it will be as some sort of office of the Federal Reserve. 

Omarova’s goal is the eventual elimination of private banking and the establishment of the Federal Reserve as the nation’s only bank.

In her own words:

“The core idea here is simply to allow all U.S. citizens and lawful residents, local governments, non-banking firms and non-business entities to open transactional accounts directly with the Federal Reserve, thus bypassing private depository institutions,” she wrote. “In this sense, it is a variation on the familiar FedAccounts — or FedCoin, ‘digital dollar wallets,’ etc. — theme. In principle, FedAccounts can be made available as an alternative to bank deposit accounts, upon a person’s request.”

For those who have never learned this, or let this fact evaporate, the Federal Reserve isn't a government agency; it's a private corporation that enjoys a special tight relationship with the Fed.gov.  "Tight" might not be strong enough.  Perhaps incestuous is a better word.  There's a word for a merger of big corporations and governments.  Benito Mussolini was a big advocate of the idea; it's called fascism.  

Omarova herself wrote that her proposal is “deliberately radical in scope and substance.”   As Kristin Tate wrote for The Hill on Wednesday:

Taken to its extreme, this would mean that the Federal Reserve, acting on behalf of Washington, could become the only place citizens could deposit their money. Such a massive transformation would be accomplished by replacing consumer deposits into a new digital dollar, held by the Fed.

And just like that, the end of the dollar and replacement of paper money with a digital currency would happen.  It would be replaced not by Bitcoin, Doge coin or any of the existing Cryptocurrencies, but a new one that has been called Fedcoin.  No need for dollars, and buying things for cash would probably be outlawed.  Since everything will be done through the Federal Reserve Bank, there's no need to pass that law that they monitor everything you buy over the course of a year that adds up to over $600, $10,000 or any other arbitrary number.  They will know every penny (or whatever they call it) that you spend.  They would literally hold your checkbook in their computers, just like my bank (a local credit union) now has records of my checking account back over the years.  

Omarova is far beyond "just" wanting to get rid of banks like Goldman Sachs.  A big deal is being made yesterday and today about a Twitter video someone found in which she calls matter-of-factly for the destruction of the oil, gas, and coal industries. To save the planet, of course.  

In the clip, Omarova, who was born in the Soviet Union and is not a native English speaker, is seen discussing “troubled industries and firms that are in transitioning.” She continues: “And here what I’m thinking about is primarily coal industry and oil and gas industry. A lot of the smaller players in that industry are, uh, going to probably, uh, go bankrupt in, in, in short order, at least we want them to go bankrupt if we want to tackle climate change, right?”
...
This radical and destructive rhetoric was to be expected from Omarova, who, as Stephen Green pointed out, “graduated from the Soviet Union’s Moscow State University in 1989 on the Lenin Personal Academic Scholarship.” Omarova was apparently such a convinced Marxist in the late 1980s that she wrote her thesis on Karl Marx’s thought, and tellingly has refused to release that thesis now.

The opposition to other appointees has risen to the point where some nominees, like Chipman, have had their nomination blocked.  We really need to do it on this one, too.  Same process in that she will have to go through the senate confirmation process.  None of the three articles I read and linked to here give a date for the hearings, or said that the hearings are imminent.

  2. Biden is NOT the one behind this insanity. He's just the moron reading the teleprompter. Everything happening in Mordor On The Potomac is the work of unelected, unaccountable and mostly anonymous commies hiding in the background committing as many crimes against America as they can dream up.

  4. And this is surprising how?

    They want us dead, or subjugated. They want the return of serfdom, of debt-peonage, of outright slavery or they want us dead of starvation or of lack of medical care or outright executing us for wishing to be free or for dreaming or thinking for ourselves.

    This was evident during the Clinton presidency. Much more evident during Obama's reign of terror. Even more evident during Hillary's attempt to rule the world and the way the media and the elite reacted, even before she failed, and set up multiple attempts to destroy Trump and freedom loving Americans. Even more and more evident in the repeated attacks by the Deep State against freedom loving Americans. And it's just blatant since the (stolen) election, and the military occupation of Washington DC, and the repeated selection of outright enemies of the state for ruling positions, dictats that are patently illegal/immoral/unconstitutional. And the attacks are picking up steam, almost geometrically, in both numbers and in scope and in depth.

    They keep pushing and pushing and pushing, almost like they are trying to push freedom-loving Americans over the edge so they can lock everything down under martial law and suspend what little freedoms FLAs have.

    And Virginia and New Jersey were highly unexpected, and highly scary to the power-elite deep state feudalists who wish to rule over us. The NJ democrat finally conceding even after fraudulent ballots were found and even with as high a margin of cheat as Slo-Jo got was the last straw. They now know there's not even a chance of faking an election.

    So what's the answer? Push the people into overt reaction, which, of course, will be over-reaction, and then the elitists' pet media will blow what happens all out of proportion and Martial Law and suspension of all freedoms will come down quicker than a facebook ban-hammer, and this nation will go from being barely Constitutional Republic to a full-out feudal kingdom, with the elites lording it over the serfs, peons, peasants and slaves.

    Just look at what they're doing to the military. What they've done to most federal courts and most federal agencies and many state governments and state agencies.

    I hope and pray that the spirit of the American still runs deep and strong, and that spirit has the power to stand up to the tsunami of corruption and evil that is coming down on us all.

    For that's what it is, a tsunami. Not a single wave, but a series of growing waves of more and more power that just push farther and farther over every free thing in their way.

    Stay strong, and may God give us strength against the forces of the Morningstar.

  6. America is not having a war. War means at least two sides are fighting. Fighting means running around shooting guns at the people pointing or shooting guns at you. The Irish troubles was a war. The starving Ukrainian farmers who had their food stolen by the Soviets was not a war. I think ethnic cleansing is a better fit to the current US situation.

    But it's the entire middle class which is getting cleansed. The people who accepted the jab are being damaged by the jab and by street crime in the big cities. The people who rejected the jab are being damaged by being banned from jobs. Both groups are getting cleansed by currency inflation, attempted reductions in energy production, and other policies which reduce lifestyle.

    Most of the middle class are supporters of big government, except for the small fraction which were Ron Paul voters and assorted libertarians. Government logistics are supplied by the middle class. Imagine if events continue on their present trend, with no sudden changes. Government makes no mistakes like door-to-door gun confiscation, door-to-door jabs, jab passports to buy groceries or get healthcare, intolerable currency inflation, road checkpoints, martial law. The middle class headcount shrinks as it dies from diseases of (manufactured) poverty and the jab. Government logistical inputs shrink, at the same time government gets less efficient at projecting power. Drones get cheaper. As government gets weaker there comes a tipping point at which the non-jabbed underemployed who were just hanging on surviving can beat the whole government without much losses. Then there will be a war.

    1. Don't forget demographic replacement. It only takes 20 more years for Americans to become an endangered species. (We're "threatened" and in steep decline right now.)

  8. No such grandiose utopian plan like this should ever be allowed without a game plan for unwinding it a year or two down the line and compensating those damaged. Because it will fail, and our government will otherwise refuse to acknowledge that failure or the damage it causes, and will muddle along happy with the extra power and control it gives them over everyone's finances.
