Prepare Ye the Way: Spokeswoman Jarrett Says the Messiah Must Be Ready to "RULE" on Day One.

Jesus had John the Baptist to herald his coming and let everyone know their long-awaited King and Savior had arrived and was about to begin his reign. Barack Obama has Valerie Jarrett:

[This video may not be available much longer.  In case it is not, Jarrett said to Tom Brokaw, "Given the daunting challenges that we face, it's important that President-elect Obama is prepared to take power and begin to rule day one."]

Obama will be ready to "take power" and "begin to rule" on Jan. 20th!  Lift up your heads, O ye gates! Be ye lifted up, ye everlasting doors! And the king of glory shall come in!

With all due respect, Ms. Jarrett.  Tyrants take power.  Presidents assume office.  Tyrants and monarchs rule.  Presidents govern.

With all due respect, Mr. Brokaw, journalists investigate.  Journalists perform "due diligence" on their presidential subjects and report on relevant matters regardless of personal biases and allegiances.  Shills and sycophants go on national television and proclaim, "We don't really know very much about Barack Obama."

Barack may well be my president come January 20, 2009 (assuming we do not have a constitutional crisis stemming from his disingenuous handling of the U.S. citizenship question). He will never, ever be my "messiah."  That position has already been filled, thank you, by Someone far greater and infinitely more qualified than this marxist demagogue and globalist puppet from Kenya/Indonesia/Hawaii.

Obama's Sheep Hear His Voice--and Are Getting the Wool Pulled Over Their Eyes.

There are many who have followed the candidacy of Barack Obama that ascribe to him attributes, powers and traits going far beyond the "clean and articulate" bill of health Joe Biden gave him (in the days before Joe knew he was going to be chosen as Vice-Messiah).   They go beyond even what was ascribed to Superman, Batman, the Incredible Hulk and the Power Rangers.

It's not enough that he is to the left of Bill and Hillary Clinton.  And Nancy Pelosi.  And Harry Reid.  Possibly even Hugo Chavez.  Not enough that he--and the 'powers that be' that orchestrated his selection and election--plan a Great Leap Forward (remember Mao Tse Tung) to catapult the U. S. into a brave, new world planned for decades if not centuries, where world government becomes centralized and the nations are blended together like coffee beans in a grinder, into a fragrant, global potpourri where all her citizens are forcibly equalized into a mass of mind-numbed minions who live happily ever after (or at least until the drugs wear off) under a benevolent, totalitarian regime.  (Interesting side note: "potpourri" comes from a 17th century French word referring to a stew made from different kinds of meat, literally "rotten pot.")

No, he must be attributed with qualities that no mere mortal can lay claim to.  Only someone of divine origin (like the Lord Jesus Christ) can rightly be adored the way Obama is adored.  (I suspect the reason Obama's birthplace is in dispute is because his human origin is in dispute.)

Here is an example of a blog site that is, in my opinion, just a little over the top with its fervency and devotion to the president-elect:

IS BARACK OBAMA THE MESSIAH?

Visit this blog and you'll see the kind of blind fanaticism that power-hungry despots and demagogues only dream about.  

The Messiah's First Pre-Millenial Press Conference: "Ask Me No Questions, I'll Tell You No Lies."

I caught only a snippet of Obama's first pre-presidential press conference on the radio when it was carried live during Sean Hannity's program, when the Distinguished Senator from Illinois was "answering" a question from a reporter.  The question seemed straightforward enough.  Will you raise taxes on upper-income Americans? 

The answer was as Clintonesque as any I ever heard from our first Black president (William Jefferson).  In short, here is my paraphrase of what he said to the reporter, "Never mind the unpleasant details of my economic plan, you myopic journalistic ninny, I'm going to give my best tax breaks to the good, hard-working people of this country who elected me--not the lazy, 'selfish,' non-W-2-employed, tax-evading, business-owning, capital-investing, passive-income-earning, stock-market-manipulating, SUV-driving, Republican-voting bourgeois slime."

Perhaps I'm reading too much into his answer.  But, the verbatim response he gave was clearly an evasive one to anyone who was paying attention.  It is a sign of things to come.  No "straight talk" here.  Apparently this messiah will resort to speaking in parables to the press, because unto them, it is not given to understand the mysteries of the kingdom of Barack.

If you want to see the entire press conference, complete with his "dead presidents talking" (my nickname for it) remark about Nancy Reagan and seances (it comes right at the 15:00 mark), watch it here:

Obama Republic: the Reign of Error Begins to Take Shape as the Messiah-Elect Chooses the First Members of His "Barack-cracy."

Two days after the election, the enormity of what just happened is still as palpable to me as it was when Brian Williams announced (around 9 pm Arizona time, Tuesday night) that NBC had declared Barack Obama the winner of the 2008 electoral dog-and-pony show--sorry, the 2008 presidential election.  It will take time to sort out the dizzying details as developments unfold.

It's clear to me now, McCain was the fall guy in this election go-around.  I like the way Gary North characterizes every presidential contest since 1928: CFR Team "A" vs. CFR Team "B." (For those of you who stopped reading and learning after you got your B.A. in Liberal Academic Studies, CFR stands for the Council on Foreign Relations--the most exclusive, powerful Good Ol' Boy (& Gal) network and clandestine New World Order organization of movers and shakers on earth.)  They are the real "power behind the throne."  (But that's another blog for another day.)

It was the Democrats' turn to rule the roost, and Hillary Clinton was not the quarterback they wanted on the field this quarter.  McCain was put up to the job to make sure the Republicans would at least give the Dems a run for their money, but not enough to actually win (the only reason it was even a horse race was because of the vivacious and carnivorous presence of Republican Joan of Arc, Gov. Sarah Palin).  And with enough voter fraud/voter-registration shenanigans from ACORN et al. to seal the deal, aided by the media sycophants pushing, pulling and driving Obama to the finish line, his victory was a foregone conclusion.  Camelot is back!

I think of Churchills's famous metaphor when I watch Obama--"a riddle, wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma"--referring to Russia and its covert/overt activities at the onset of World War II, 1939.  You can understand Obama only when you understand his life experiences up to this point, and the influences that have converged (and conspired) to mold and shape his worldview. We have only seen the tip of the iceberg (and right now I feel like the U.S. is a very large ocean liner sailing across the North Atlantic on a dark, cold April night).

For now we can tell a lot about Obama by the people associated with and selected by him during his transition from urbane Chicago political thug to urbane Washington political thug.  His choice of Rahm Emanuel as chief of staff speaks volumes about his/their plans for the new administration.  Emanuel the Clinton confidante and Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac alumnus.  He is known for his ferocity and "partisanship" and lack of civility.  I am sure Nancy Pelosi will denounce his appointment.  (One only hopes there are no sharp instruments in or near the West Wing come January when Emanuel formally assumes his duties in the Messiah's inner sanctum.)

Emanuel, a gentleman in public but a pit bull without lipstick in private,  will serve nicely as Obama's Torquemada, enforcer and motivator-in-chief in the coming "realignment" of Capitol Hill. 

Germany Had Its Hitler; Cuba Had/Has Its Castro; Venezuela Has Its Chavez; America Has Its.... Obama.

To hear Obama extolling the virtue of a socialist/communist-inspired program like the "civilian national security force" he is proposing, is to be visited by the ghosts of dictatorships past and present.  

Samuel Blumenfeld had a provocative article today in WorldNetDaily, "Obama's Commie Connections."  In it, he mentions, among other things, this civilian security force, saying it sounds eerily like a similar 'grassroots' organization that was formed in the 1930s by another ambitious, charismatic young rebel with an unhappy, shadowy past and a bright but brief future in politics.  "Homeland State Police" is the English equivalent.  In German it was Geheime Staats Polizie.  Gestapo for short.

Lest we forget, "Nazi" was short for national socialist.  That's socialist.  As in leftist.  As in cradle-to-grave government welfare nanny-state, state-monopoly institutions, state-controlled industry, banking, finance, commerce. education (even religion!).  State-dominated, state-sponsored, state-mandated, state-prohibited.  Taxation by confiscation.  State-enforced redistribution of wealth, etc., etc., ad nauseum.

I won't regurgitate Blumenfeld's piece here.  I only mention it on the eve of the national elections tomorrow--when millions of voters, most of whom are validly registered, many of whom are not, will go to the polls and move the tide of history once again through another ebb-and-flow cycle demonstrating man's inability to govern himself without strong restraints placed on him from above--I only mention it as another insight, another hint, another piece of the puzzle, another "tease" showing us just what kind of radically anti-American, hate-filled, cynical, bitter, truly machiavellian prince this Barack Obama really is (and will turn out to be).

  

Just as Hitler mesmerized the German people (but not all of them), Castro bewitched the Cubans (but not all of them) and Chavez bamboozled the Venezuelans (but not all of them), Obama has utterly enchanted and enthralled millions of Americans who are feathers in the wind with no ideological/historical/cultural anchor to hold them and no moral/spiritual compass to guide them.  They'll listen to any smooth-talking, educated-sounding, rhetoric-dispensing demagogue that promises them all the bread and circuses and unbridled self-indulgence they could want.  

Tomorrow we vote.  Let's see if America still looks like America on Wednesday.

The Unknown Messiah: We Really Don't Know Much About Obama, Says Tom Brokaw!

Last week I watched a clip from PBS's Charlie Rose interviewing Tom Brokaw.  It was an affectionate homecoming, a love fest where both host and hostee tip-toed through the tulips in and around the landmine field that is Barack Obama's presidential campaign.

To watch this bastion of global, journalistic inquisitiveness, say "I don't know, I don't know, we don't know," repeatedly is painful and embarrassing.  Brokaw is supposed to be the Walter Cronkite of the Baby Boom generation.  A hard-charging reporter who doesn't stop digging until he hits paydirt--except, that is, where the Messiah and His Millenial Reign are concerned.

Tom Brokaw, the smooth, baritone commentator and journalist extraordinaire. Tom Brokaw, the face of NBC Nightly News for so many years, the epitome of pull-no-punches, here-it-is-like-it-or-not news delivery.  The king and grand poobah of hard news for the thinking masses (that's a bit of an oxymoron, sorry), comes across as though he doesn't know and doesn't care about the controversial beliefs and dubious background of Sen. Barack Obama.  Same for Charlie Rose.  It's the blind misleading the blind.  (Watch out for that ditch, guys!)

Here are some brief excerpts--transcript compliments of Free Republc--from the vacuous exchange between Rose and Brokaw:

ROSE: I don't know what Barack Obama's worldview is.

BROKAW: No, I don't, either.

ROSE: I don't know how he really sees where China is.

BROKAW: We don't know a lot about Barack Obama and the universe of his thinking about foreign policy.

ROSE: I don't really know. And do we know anything about the people who are advising him?

BROKAW: Yeah, it's an interesting question.

ROSE: He is principally known through his autobiography and through very aspirational (sic) speeches.

BROKAW: Two of them! I don't know what books he's read.

ROSE: What do we know about the heroes of Barack Obama?

BROKAW: There's a lot about him we don't know.

Gentlemen, please.  Your credibility is already in freefall and it just dropped another 50%.  If this profoundly unbelievable, tacit admission of both ignorance and apathy is not a clear, shining example of the leftist media covering up for Obama so that the voting masses will cast their ballot for him anyway simply because the moguls of Main Street, the cultural pied pipers and the populist powers-that-be say they should--where else will you find a more telling example of willful lack of interest being indulged in for the sake of promoting a political agenda.

Yet another reason why I only watch PBS (and the other LNNs, liberal news networks) when I want to see what the empty suits in front of the camera are busy deconstructing, revising and being disingenuous about as they try to hide their ideological nakedness with a fig leaf they call "objectivity" in their distorted, blatantly biased news coverage.

Religion & Politics: The Messiah Has the Atheist Vote Pretty Well Locked Up.

The IBD/TIPP Election '08 Daily Tracking Poll ("most accurate pollster of the 2004 campaign") today came out showing the race between Obama and McCain tightening, with undecideds and independents vacillating almost as wildly as the Dow Jones last week.

Most interesting to me was the religion vote.  Protestants and Catholics, who have historically disagreed on profound doctrinal issues of the Christian faith, seem to agree that a vote for McCain constitutes less of a sin than a vote for Obama.  The breakdown is 55/36, McCain over Obama among the Protestants, 51/38 McCain over Obama for the Catholics.  A tad more indecision among the Catholics, 11%, vs. 9% undecided among the Protestants.

The "Other Christian" vote is more evenly polarized than the Protestant/Catholic split: 48/46 McCain over Obama, with 7% undecided.  Amazingly low number of undecideds for a group that couldn't decide whether it is Catholic or Protestant.  (I suspect this miscellaneous rubric is for recently engendered "third wave" groups such as charismatics & Pentecostals, as well as non-denominational bodies, the Mormons, other splinter groups, factions, breakaways & offshoots.  I'm guessing the Branch Davidians are going with McCain, just to be safe.)

Perhaps most astonishing of all is the Jewish vote.  A whopping 78% are voting for Obama, 19% for McCain, only 3% undecided!  Think about this.  Nearly four out of five voters who identified themselves as Jewish are casting their lot with a man whose personal ties and closest allies (drop the second 's' for a better adjective: closet allies) are individuals who are either sworn enemies or merely hostile antagonists toward Israel and all things Jewish.  This plus the fact that the particular ideology Obama subscribes to--socialism/Marxism--is historically anti-Jewish, anti-American, anti-liberty and anti-prosperity.  Look at the history of the Jews in America.  Industrious, ingenious, business innovators, entrepreneurial, risk-takers, capitalist to the core. What went wrong?

"Other" religions are the wild card in this group: 63% of them are going with Obama, 30% McCain, 7% undecided.  The reason I think the Mormons are not included in this group is that they are a staunchly conservative bunch and would sooner give up Temple privileges than vote for Obama (with all due respect to the LDS).  For everyone else, I guess a false messiah is better than no messiah at all.

 

Last of all is the "None" group.  These are presumably atheists and people who want to be "spiritual" without believing in God or practicing any religion.  They are going with Obama 73% vs 21% for McCain, 6% undecided.  Imagine that.  Three out of four unbelievers believe Obama is the One.  Maybe they secretly belong to the Church of Oprah.  No Bible required.  Just bring your five senses and your wind-tossed non-beliefs to a place where the main sacrament is Communion with Your Feelings.  Obama is your candyman.  Your puppet.  Whatever you want your next president to be, and give, he'll be glad to oblige, by indulging your collectivist longing for the Change We Need, transitioning us from "selfish" freedoms and lower taxes to state-sponsored security and state-enforced, wealth-confiscating, job-destroying "equality."  (All men are created equal, but some are more equal than others.  Thank you, George Orwell.)

We'll see if there is any change in these numbers tomorrow, the last day before the election. But clearly, Obama has captured the hearts and minds of voters who acknowledge either no God or else no higher practical authority than the federal government--except perhaps the U. N.--with the President (so long as he or she is a Democrat) as its prophet.

If ever there was a time to pray, Good Lord, deliver us, it's now.  Please join with your local congregation in prayer and fasting tomorrow (Monday).
