Mau Inspired Mfg Czar
The Navy Union Jack stays on the flagstaff today. Another day, another Czar, Ron Bloom … Manufacturing Czar. Who, other than President Obama would appoint (without congressional approval) a man to be charge of U.S. manufacturing that states free trade is a “joke,” that the free market is “nonsense,” and competition is “pablum for suckers?” Liberty and Freedom are indeed again threatened by this more-trending-toward-Socialism administration each day.
Liberty Threatened
Hard to believe? Here’s his quote …
Mau Enthusiast
- “Generally speaking we get the joke. We know that the free market is nonsense. We know that the whole point is to game the system, to beat the market, or at least find someone who will pay you a lot of money because they’re convinced that there is a free lunch. We know this is largely about power, that it’s an adults only, no limit game. We kind of agree with Mao that political power comes largely from the barrel of a gun. And we get it that if you want a friend, you should get a dog.”
- “In today’s world the blather about free trade, free markets & the joys of competition is nothing but pablum for the suckers.”
Once again, no Congressional approval for a key appointment. Do you remember “candidate” Obama making this promise?
“The biggest problems that we’re facing right now have to do with George Bush trying to bring more and more power into the executive branch and not go through Congress at all. And that’s what I intend to reverse when I’m president of the United States.” – Sen. Barack Obama, March 31, 2008
And Ron Bloom’s recent qualifications?
- Ron Bloom was a key part of the team that advised the White House on the struggling U.S. auto industry, (and the TARP (bailout) will not be paid back!)
- Bloom and team pushed U.S. automakers General Motors and Chrysler to come up with viable plans for the future (GM’s sales fall 16%).
- Pushed the CEO of GM to resign, (threatened with no bailout funds).
- Pushed the U.S. government that agreed to become a major shareholder in GM, ponying up $50 billion.(UAW becomes major stockholder).
The Bottom Line
Mao is their hero. Why are Obama’s advisors choosing Mao as a role model? Once again a key advisor quotes Chairman Mao Ze Dong, not exactly the best role model for a USA with Freedom and Liberty:
Mao Ze Dung
- From 1949 onwards, through a succession of failed economic experiments, notably the calamitous ‘Great Leap Forward,’ and ever more Byzantine political campaigns to suppress ‘counter-revolutionaries’ – code for anyone perceived to be against the Chairman [Mao Ze Dong]- the citizens of the People’s Republic of China went to their deaths in their millions, by execution, starvation or despairingly by their own hands in repeated waves of suicide. About half starved to death during 1959 and 1960.
- 40 million dead. Chairman Mao Ze Dung launched the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution in 1966, in what appeared to be a massive cleansing policy to ensure the final victory of Mao and his clique over the rest of the Chinese Communist party. Over the next decade, literally millions of people were sacked, imprisoned and otherwise reviled for hitherto hidden ‘bourgeois tendencies’ while tens of thousands were executed.
During the 2008 Presidential campaign Barack Obama told audiences:
“Judge me by the people with whom I surround myself”
OK, we’ll Judge you …

Done!
