Although our elected officials continue to believe that America is the world’s superpower and exercise foreign policy according to this arrogance, reality is somewhat different. As our founding fathers realized but we have forgotten, anyone who is indebted to another individual or country is a slave. Our national debt is held by other nations which by definition is slavery. No one can argue that if China calls in their debt or transfers their fiat currency to a gold based currency, the value of a Federal Reserve Note and our nation will collapse.
Our nation’s reputation with our “allies” has been transformed by this administration. President Obama’s first call upon winning the presidency was to Erdogan, the Muslim prime minister of Turkey. Obama’s pledge to work closely with Putin after winning the election is another example of servitude to what can only be described as “the other side”. Based on the events unfolding in the Middle East and Libya, this administration’s allegiance is to the black flag of al Qaeda instead of Israel. We are supporting al Qaeda in Syria and through Valerie Jarrett’s “right to protect” war in Libya, al Qaeda has established a strong presence in Benghazi.
But let’s return to the original premise: who is in charge? China is basing their strategy on an economic front. Russia is basing their strategy on energy, nuclear proliferation and supporting the regimes of Iran and Syria. And Putin is winning. As the world’s nations shift to alternative forms of currency prior to the collapse of the dollar, the main player orchestrating world events at present is Putin. Let us pray that Obama will not be too flexible in the time between the election and the inauguration.

Putin flexes muscle in big test of Russia’s nuclear arsenal
President Vladimir Putin took a leading role in the latest tests of Russia’s strategic nuclear arsenal, the most comprehensive since the 1991 Soviet collapse, the Kremlin said on Saturday.
The exercises, held mostly on Friday, featured prominently in news reports on state television which seemed aimed to show Russians and the world that Putin is the hands-on chief of a resurgent power.
Tests involving command systems and all three components of the nuclear “triad” – land and sea-launched long-range nuclear missiles and strategic bombers – were conducted “under the personal leadership of Vladimir Putin”, the Kremlin said.
