The long working relationship between Obama and Gruber
Just in case you happen to see a press conference or speech in the next few weeks where you see Barack Obama denying knowing or ever working with Jon Gruber — the man who has been called the architect of Obamacare and of whom numerous videos have now been discovered where he contemptuously describes Americans as “stupid” while explaining how the Obama administration deliberately lied to get the law passed — watch this video below from a 2006 event.
Obama is simply a bald-faced liar in almost everything he does. Don’t be fooled by him anymore. He is dangerous, untrustworthy, and should no longer be supported by anyone, from the left or the right or by Republicans or Democrats.
The support of my readers through the years has given me the freedom and ability to analyze objectively the ongoing renaissance in space, as well as the cultural changes -- for good or ill -- that are happening across America. Four years ago, just before the 2020 election I wrote that Joe Biden's mental health was suspect. Only in this year has the propaganda mainstream media decided to recognize that basic fact.
Fourteen years ago I wrote that SLS and Orion were a bad ideas, a waste of money, would be years behind schedule, and better replaced by commercial private enterprise. Even today NASA and Congress refuse to recognize this reality.
In 2020 when the world panicked over COVID I wrote that the panic was unnecessary, that the virus was apparently simply a variation of the flu, that masks were not simply pointless but if worn incorrectly were a health threat, that the lockdowns were a disaster and did nothing to stop the spread of COVID. Only in the past year have some of our so-called experts in the health field have begun to recognize these facts.

There is a contempt for the American people that has grown so large that it overflows into what these people say.
Obama said, “The Constitution is a document of negative liberties.” Shows that those ruling us see the country not from the point of view of We the People, but from the point of view of a governmental ruling class.

Governmental consultant Gruber said, “Lack of transparency is a huge political advantage. And basically, call it the stupidity of the American voter or whatever, but basically that was really, really critical to getting the thing to pass. … But I’d rather have this law than not.” Shows that not only does the ruling class think of We the People as too stupid to make “correct” choices but also as an obstacle to overcome — even if it means hiding the truth from those who are most affected by the decisions of the rulers, especially when a decision does not have the popular support of the people (as with ObamaCare).
This is particularly disturbing, because we have the power of the vote, but that power is meaningless if we are not provided with accurate and timely information (from the CBO or especially by the press, or fourth branch) with which to make our voting decisions. (We are responsible enough to vote, but we aren’t responsible enough to make our own choices?)
Then-House Speaker Pelosi said, “We have to pass this bill in order for you to find out what’s in it.” Shows that they are willing to foist upon We the People any turd of a law without our consent. Please note that she specified that the bill had to be passed in order for *us* to find out what’s in it, not for *her* to find out (and ever since, Robert has been informing us of newly discovered turds in the law or the associated rules. Speaking of which, why are there never any *gems* to be found?).
Before passing ObamaCare, Congressman Phil Hare said, “I don’t worry about the Constitution.” Plus he does not know what is in the Constitution and what is in the Declaration of Independence. Shows that following the supreme law of the land (or even knowing, much less understanding, our founding documents) is not a concern for the rulers.

Obama said, “We’re gonna punish our enemies, and we’re gonna reward our friends.” Shows that the rulers believe that, although political power may come from the barrel of a gun, they use that power for their own gain, without regard to fairness or the American way.

A crony government is a corrupt government, and one that advertises its corruption is a tyranny with such confidence in its absolute power that it believes that it is beyond any possibility of being changed by the victimized populace.
Our government continually limits our freedoms to choose, from light bulbs to whether or not to purchase expensive health insurance. The problem is not that they believe that only *they* know what is right for each of us but that they believe that our personal decisions do not fit with the government’s (read: their) priorities.
Many stories have been written about such corrupt rulers, including “Robin Hood” and “Zorro” about greedy, tyrannical governments overtaxing and mistreating their populaces. More recently, several movies have come out about dystopian societies, ruled by those in absolute power, including “The Hunger Games” and “The Giver.”
In the latter, the leader of that warped society says exactly what our ruling class thinks, as exemplified above: “When people have the freedom to choose, they choose wrong. Every single time.”
Grubergate is exposing the compost of deceit that led to the passage of this dreadful law.
