Perry is a Bilderberger who supports the NAFTA Superhighway. That’s all I need to know about him. He’s an opportunistic POS trying to capitalize on current populist sentiment and co-opt it, perhaps to create a Frankenstein monster of the corpse of the Republican Party in 2012. For an MSM example, see Glenn Beck.

If he supports NAFTA, what’s his gripe with D.C., John?  D.C. should be just his cup of tea in that case but clearly it’s not.  (Are you from Texas btw?)  But you know, even if he’s a rank opportunist, look at what he knew he had to say in order to curry favor with Texans!  That right there tells you everything you need to know and confirms what we all at this site have been saying since day one:  the common people agree with us and are sick of it!  What’s going on is being forced from the top down on unconsulted, unwilling populations and for Britain and Europe it’s the same:  it’s being forced from above on communities of people who never asked for it and don’t want it.  Same, I dare say, in Canada and Oz-NZ.  Nowhere are the Eurosphere peoples demanding this crap; it’s the élites pushing it, pushing it, pushing it.  That statement of Gov. Perry’s at that podium, expressing for once the point of view of the people, was truly a breath of fresh air, opportunist or not.  It made my day!  Let a few more governors make statements like that, putting D.C. on notice that the states are not going to take it any more, and it might just touch off the revolution we’ve been looking for.

A good sign was one of the reporters asking the governor whether D.C. or Austin ultimately commands the Texas National Guard and the governor avoiding giving a clear reply, as if to leave open the possibility of Texas disputing D.C.‘s claim to ultimate command.  That was very good.  Remember how President Eisenhower forced Governor Orville Faubus to back down at Little Rock in ‘56 I think it was:  Faubus had called out the Arkansas National Guard when the enforcement of the laws of the State of Arkansas was threatened by Federal integrationist zealots, and there was the very real possibility of an armed clash between Arkansas troops under the governor’s orders and U.S. troops under the president’s orders.  You had Faubus literally standing in the doorway of the high school flanked by his Guards commander, vowing not to budge, as the city was garrisoned by fully-armed Arkansas troops ready to defend their state against D.C.  The whole country was holding its breath, when suddenly Eisenhower simply “nationalises” the Arkansas Guard, transferring command over it from the governor to the president, claiming was he was allowed to do that under the law.  When everyone looked at it, looked at the law, and decided it was in fact legal, the Arkansas Guard commander had to submit to Eisenhower’s orders and the high school was integrated.

One thing that must be done at some point in the process of overthrowing D.C. is to have our side’s legal and constitutional experts go back, look closely at those statutes, and invalidate D.C.‘s authority to “nationalize” state Guard Units in case of conflict between D.C. and a state.  In case of conflict between D.C. and a state any right to nationalize that state’s Guard must considered automatically voided.  Until that’s done, any state making a move to assert its constitutional rights can be slapped down without a fight by simply placing its Guard under D.C.‘s direct orders.

The reporter’s questions about who commands the Texas National Guard starts at the 7:32 mark.  The governor starts beating around the bush by saying the Guard is under what he calls “bifurcated” command, in some situations under the governors’ orders, in others the president’s.  At the 8:12 mark the reporter, not getting a plain answer, asks directly, “Can your authority be overridden by the Federal Government?”  Perry then lays it out on the table, saying it’s time to draw a line in the sand, time for the States and the American people to tell the feds they’re not going to take it any more — implying he by no means accepted D.C.‘s unquestioned “right” to exert command over the Texas Guard, and that got him the biggest applause of the press conference.

That’s a crucial point in all talk of resisting D.C.  The reporter knew it, Perry knew it, the audience in attendance knew it.  The right of D.C. to unilaterally nationalize the Guard of any state without the consent of that state’s governor MUST BE NULLIFIED.  D.C. will NEVER LISTEN OR GRANT CONCESSIONS until it’s afraid of armed resistance coming from the States.  It’s a simple as that:  we are slaves or we are free men, one or the other.  There’s nothing in between.

For the record, the reporter’s two questions, pretty hard to hear, were, “Governor:  who’s in control of the Texas National Guard?” and, when he didn’t get a clear answer from the governor, “Can you yourself be overridden [i.e., overridden in asserting your command of the Guard] by the Federal Government?”

That reporter, whoever he was, knew exactly what the crux of the issue was, namely “How much military force is backing you up, governor?” — and so, it turned out, did the governor, judging by his expanded reply.

About opportunists:  I’m not too concerned about men’s motivations, whether opportunistic or idealistic, as long as they get things done.  Opportunists can get lots of things done:  Julius Caesar was an opportunist, as was Abraham Lincoln, Jefferson Davis, and for that matter, Texas’s greatest governor, Sam Houston (who knew another opportunist when he saw one — being personally acquainted with Jefferson Davis, he warned someone about him thus, at the outbreak of Lincoln’s War, “He’s as cold as a lizard, and ambitious as Lucifer.”

Opportunists who get things done are fine as long as they’re working for my side.

I’m not from Texas (I live in Sweden) but I have some friends there, have visited a few times and know a little about Texas politics. Perry is a globalist. Perhaps James’ cocktail napkin analysis is right. It makes sense to me that their shill leaders would not try to buck popular sentiment but to channel it instead. I expect some manufactured crises (on top of the economic meltdown) and a false flag or two in the next couple of years.

The NAFTA Superhighway

by Ron Paul

...

Governor Perry is a supporter of the superhighway project, and Congress has provided small amounts of money to study the proposal. Since this money was just one item in an enormous transportation appropriations bill, however, most members of Congress were not aware of it.

The proposed highway is part of a broader plan advanced by a quasi-government organization called the “Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America,” or SPP.

The SPP was first launched in 2005 by the heads of state of Canada, Mexico, and the United States at a summit in Waco.

NAFTA Superhighway plans advance south
Texas governor, Mexico agree to extend Trans-Texas Corridor

Official Mexican government reports reveal Mexico has entered discussions with the state of Texas and top officials in the Bush administration to extend the Trans-Texas Corridor into Mexico, with a plan to connect through Monterrey to the deep-water Mexican ports on the Pacific, including Manzanillo and Lazaro Cardenas.

The official website of the Mexican northeastern state of Nuevo Leon contain multiple reports that Jose Natividad Gonzales Pares, governor of the Mexican state of Nuevo Leon, has actively discussed with numerous U.S. government officials, including Texas Gov. Rick Perry, Secretary of Transportation Mary Peters and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, the extension of the Trans-Texas Corridor into Mexico to create what’s called a “Trans North America Corridor.”

In an August trip to Mexico, Perry made news in U.S. media by calling the idea of building a fence along the U.S.-Mexico border “idiocy.”

This statement of definance by Gov. Perry is a good sign, but that doesn’t change the fact that Texas has already become a state where non-Whites have tipped the balance and are now over half of the population.  As a result, much of the state may already be lost to Whites.

AMERICANS…OPPOSE THE HISPANIC INVASION OR YOU AND YOUR PEOPLE WILL BE WIPED OUT:

“If the country were open on its borders, new forms would certainly immigrate, and this would also seriously disturb the relations of some of the former inhabitants. Let it be remembered how powerful the influence of a single introduced tree or mammal has been shown to be.

He who believes in the struggle for existence and in the principle of natural selection, will acknowledge that every organic being is constantly endeavouring to increase in numbers; and thus if any one being vary ever so little, either in habits or structure, and thus gain an advantage over some other inhabitant of the country, it will seize on the place of that inhabitant, however different it may be from its own place.” - Charles Darwin

A Finn makes excellent points above. 

I just want to mention the log entry video’s YouTube stats.  By double-clicking on the video photo above you’ll go to the video at the YouTube site:  in the six days it’s been up this video has had over 165,000 views, and 1,370 ratings, for an average rating of 4½ stars out of 5.  And it says, bizarrely, the comments feature for this video has been closed:  no comments are allowed.  I wonder why.

“Texas has already become a state where non-Whites have tipped the balance and are now over half of the population.  As a result, much of the state may already be lost to Whites.”  (—Eman)

Funny thing about balances though, they can tip both ways.  What were the white-red proportions on the ground when the Pilgrims landed in 1620?  What were the Jew-Arab proportions of Palestine in 1890?  What are they both now?

Tip or be tipped.  If we’re gonna be forever at the mercy of the Jews tipping our balance, which is exactly what they’ve done and will always do, we’ll be, well, forever at the mercy of the Jews tipping our balance.  It’s simple.  When we start doing some tipping of our own, start tipping back a little, we’ll see some daylight in this problem for the first time in a long time.  It’s the tipping the other guy’s balance game.  It’s time we learned how to play.

<span class=“aponline”><!—begintext—><h2>Perry fires up anti-tax crowd
  </h2>
<span class=“byline”>By KELLEY SHANNON
  </span>

<span class=“source”>Associated Press Writer</span>

<span class=“dateline”>AUSTIN, Texas —</span> Texas Gov. Rick Perry fired up an anti-tax “tea party” Wednesday with his stance against the federal government and for states’ rights as some in his U.S. flag-waving audience shouted, “Secede!”

An animated Perry told the crowd at Austin City Hall — one of three tea parties he was attending across the state — that officials in Washington have abandoned the country’s founding principles of limited government. He said the federal government is strangling Americans with taxation, spending and debt.

Perry repeated his running theme that Texas’ economy is in relatively good shape compared with other states and with the “federal budget mess.” Many in the crowd held signs deriding President Barack Obama and the $786 billion federal economic stimulus package.

Later, answering news reporters’ questions, Perry suggested Texans might at some point get so fed up they would want to secede from the union, though he said he sees no reason why Texas should do that.

“There’s a lot of different scenarios,” Perry said. “We’ve got a great union. There’s absolutely no reason to dissolve it. But if Washington continues to thumb their nose at the American people, you know, who knows what might come out of that. But Texas is a very unique place, and we’re a pretty independent lot to boot.”

Perry is running for re-election against U.S. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, a fellow Republican. His anti-Washington remarks have become more strident the past few weeks as that 2010 race gets going and since Perry rejected $550 million in federal economic stimulus money slated to help Texas’ unemployment trust fund.

Perry said the stimulus money would come with strings attached that would leave Texas paying the bill once the federal money ran out.

He said he believes he could be at the center of a national movement that is coordinated and focused in its opposition to the actions of the federal government.

“It’s a very organic thing,” he said. “It is a very powerful moment, I think, in American history.”

South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford and Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, also Republicans, have been outspoken against the federal economic stimulus spending and were supportive of tea parties in their states.

The protests, organized throughout the country by conservative groups and talk show hosts, were held on the federal income tax deadline day to imitate the original Boston Tea Party of American revolutionary times.

Conservative syndicated talk show host Glenn Beck broadcast live in San Antonio from outside the Alamo, a legendary symbol of Texas independence. Park police estimated 4,000 to 5,000 people packed into the small plaza, many waving signs or carrying little yellow flags that read, “Don’t tread on me.” A local barbecue chain gave away free cups of iced tea.

Rocker Ted Nugent performed a shredder guitar version of the national anthem, but unlike some rallies elsewhere, San Antonio organizers forbade politicians from speaking.

“They are welcome to come and listen to us, for a change,” they said in their statement.

Mike Smart, a 51-year-old oil field worker from West Texas, held up a white handwritten sign that said, “I’ll keep my freedom, my $ and my guns. You keep the change.”

“I just want the government to stay out of my way. I won’t get in their way if they don’t get in mine,” said Smart, who described himself as conservative but not a Republican.

Government spending, going back multiple administrations, has reached a boiling point with the latest rounds of stimulus spending, he said. While the Bush administration spent heavily before he left office, the Obama administration has fast-tracked big spending, he said.

“Ol’ George was going to the same destination. He just didn’t want to tell anyone,” said Smart.

Another protester, 38-year-old Melva Fried, said the forced ouster of General Motors Corp. CEO Rick Wagoner was the last straw for her — a symbol the federal government was moving toward socialism.

“When a president can fire the head of a company, that’s too much,” she said, holding a sign that read “Stop Rewarding Failure.”

The sales associate, who considers herself a disaffected Republican, said she doesn’t believe the government should bail anyone out, including banks and individual homeowners.

The crowd at the Austin tea party appeared decidedly anti-Democrat. Many of the speakers were Republicans and Libertarians.

One placard said, “Stop Obama’s Socialism.” Another read, “Some Pirates Are in America,” and it showed photographs of Obama, U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid wearing pirate hats.

Rebecca Knowlton, 45, of Smithville, said she took the day off of home-schooling her three children and brought them to the rally to teach them about civic duty. She felt camaraderie at the demonstration.

“The movement is growing stronger,” she said. “You’re not alone.”

If this is not just talk and she really does, Texas will secede alright—right into the North American Union.

“It’s a very organic thing,” he said. “It is a very powerful moment, I think, in American history.”

When Perry and his Bilderberger puppet string pullers are done with it, it will be about as organic as the playing field in the Huston Astrodome.

Part of what happened in Little Rock as captured in newsreel footage:

http://www.occidentaldissent.com/2009/10/02/remembering-little-rock/#comment-19863 .

The NAACP which was behind this integrationist push was a Jewish-created, Jewish-staffed, Jewish-funded battering-ram oranization.  The Jews were not fighting this war out of any love of Negroes.  They were fighting it out of tribal antagonism toward Eurochristians.  My answer to the Jews who did that:  If we can’t have our country, the Jews certainly can’t have Israel.
