The Transformation of Language: A New Age for America

To plunder, to slaughter, to steal, these things they misname Empire; and where they make a wilderness, they call it Peace. - Tacitus, Roman Historian

Now that the Obama Administration has taken power, it is critical for us to pay attention for how our language is being transformed before our eyes. The transformation of language is a common way for governments to take power without violence and with the appearance of legitimacy in a society that still holds its constitution, history and freedoms dear to it.  In other words, it is a way for governments to implement change in a way that doesn't feel or look like much change at all. Change you can believe in, for sure.

Let us look at Rome and how the transformation of language was essential in the rise to power of Augustus. Now I am not equating Augustus with Obama. So you Obama fanboys can calm down and drink your milk and cookies.  The Augustan period is a period not only of the transformation of a republic into an empire, but is also a fascinating study on the nature of propaganda and the state. Its lessons are not taught in our schools. That is most unfortunate, because the propaganda we experience on a daily basis is no less powerful and no less preposterous than it was at that time. People ought to be wary.

Also I'd like to put in an aside. The period of Augustus gave birth to some of the most magnificent pieces of art in both literature and architecture. I do not diminish this. But, all the same, Augustus was a brutal, uncompromising dictator, no different from any other. He was also able to, with ease, create a public image of himself as man of clemency, peace and beneficence. It is to this day difficult for historians to discover the man behind the myth. Even Tacitus, in his Annals, was unable to extract fact from rumor in his attempt to document the death of Augustus.

But the successes and reverses of the old Roman people have been recorded by famous historians; and fine intellects were not wanting to describe the times of Augustus, till growing sycophancy scared them away. The histories of Tiberius, Caius, Claudius, and Nero, while they were in power, were falsified through terror, and after their death were written under the irritation of a recent hatred...

... the infirmities of Augustus increased, and some suspected guilt on his wife's part. For a rumour had gone abroad that a few months before he had sailed to Planasia on a visit to Agrippa, with the knowledge of some chosen friends, and with one companion, Fabius Maximus; that many tears were shed on both sides, with expressions of affection, and that thus there was a hope of the young man being restored to the home of his grandfather. This, it was said, Maximus had divulged to his wife Marcia, she again to Livia. All was known to Caesar, and when Maximus soon afterwards died, by a death some thought to be self-inflicted, there were heard at his funeral wailings from Marcia, in which she reproached herself for having been the cause of her husband's destruction. Whatever the fact was, Tiberius as he was just entering Illyria was summoned home by an urgent letter from his mother, and it has not been thoroughly ascertained whether at the city of Nola he found Augustus still breathing or quite lifeless. For Livia had surrounded the house and its approaches with a strict watch, and favourable bulletins were published from time to time, till, provision having been made for the demands of the crisis, one and the same report told men that Augustus was dead and that Tiberius Nero was master of the State.

In order for Augustus to have seized power legitimately qua Emperor, he needed to shroud his language in way that was acceptable to the republican ears of old Rome.  He called himself princeps which meant something like "primary citizen".  He did not call himself dictator or rex, in order to conjure support from the Senate and the people who would have been threatened by any such title.

Now we all know now that the Augustan seizure of power marked the end of the old republican form of government, and the beginning of what would become the Roman Empire. Nevertheless, Augustus used the word "restoration" to describe what was essentially the destruction of an old republic that had become corrupt with civil war, greed and treason. Augustus, taking advantage of the weakness of the Senate and the moral fiber of the city, painted himself as the savior of that city, the man who would return it to its roots, both morally and religiously. He made ample use of the old republican gods by employing poets and artists to depict himself and his family as being the offspring of divinity. The Latin word domus, the household, once associated in the old republic with the sacred hearth and family,  became associated with the divine household of Augustus. The domestic house became what was essentially the State itself, and it was a State that was, according to Augustan propaganda, sanctioned by the gods and the religion of the old republic.

Augustus masterfully transformed the sanctity of the household into the sanctity of the State. The Old Republic was officially dead. The Empire took its place, but still called itself the republic (res publica, trans: the public matters/things). Augustus was said to have finally brought peace to Rome (Pax Romana). Horace celebrated him with that monument of his poems, Virgil sung the Homeric-style travails of Trojan Aeneas, Augustus' so-called ancestor and founder of Rome. Buildings were built depicting Augustus and his family as divine, as gods of this new holistic state.  The army loved him because he shrouded himself in the great memory of Caesar, their beloved general. All opposition to the Empire was demonized and removed either through exile or murder or both. Augustus, an imposter who managed to seize absolute and total power over Rome, was probably one of the most brilliant politicians that ever lived.

I am going to include here a poem written by Horace. It is addressed to Augustus. Read it and consider how Augustus' image is not that far off from the image created for Obama. I am including the Latin, for those who can follow it. When I first read the poem I found it offensive. Even more so now. I did the best I could with the translation, attempting to emphasize what I believe Horace emphasized. Horace uses images of drunkenness  throughout his poems. You can only imagine why...

Diuis orte bonis, optime Romulae custos gentis, abes iam nimium diu; maturum reditum pollicitus patrum sancto concilio, redi. Lucem redde tuae, dux bone, patriae; instar ueris enim uoltus ubi tuus adfulsit populo, gratior it dies     et soles melius nitent. Vt mater iuuenem, quem Notus inuido flatu Carpathii trans maris aequora cunctantem spatio longius annuo     dulci distinet a domo, uotis ominibusque et precibus uocat, curuo nec faciem litore dimouet: sic desideriis icta fidelibus     quaerit patria Caesarem. Tutus bos etenim rura perambulat, nutrit rura Ceres almaque Faustitas, pacatum uolitant per mare nauitae,     culpari metuit fides, nullis polluitur casta domus stupris, mos et lex maculosum edomuit nefas, laudantur simili prole puerperae,     culpam poena premit comes. Quis Parthum paueat, quis gelidum Scythen, quis Germania quos horrida parturit fetus, incolumi Caesare? Quis ferae     bellum curet Hiberiae? Condit quisque diem collibus in suis et uitem uiduas ducit ad arbores; hinc ad uina redit laetus et alteris     te mensis adhibet deum; te multa prece, te prosequitur mero defuso pateris et Laribus tuum miscet numen, uti Graecia Castoris     et magni memor Herculis. 'Longas o utinam, dux bone, ferias praestes Hesperiae!' dicimus integro sicci mane die, dicimus uuidi,     cum sol Oceano subest.

Born with the favor of the gods, chief custodian of the Roman people, you [Augustus]have been away from us for far too long. Return! You are under oath to our Founding Fathers, for a speedy return. Dear Leader, return Daylight to your Fatherland; Like spring, wherever your face has shined for the people, The days pass more pleasantly, the suns shine brighter. Just as a mother, whose son having been far away from sweet home and buffeted by the waves of the sea, calls out to him with prayers and invocations and never leaves the shore of the sea, so too does the Fatherland faithfully yearn for Caesar [Augustus]. For only a safe cow can wander around the countryside, that both Ceres and Fertility cultivate with care. Only a peaceful sea can be traversed by sailors. Faith and trust fears the possibility of its own  transgression. The moral household is polluted by no defilement, Moral code and law overpower  [edomuit] transgression, Babies are praised when similar to their fathers, Swiftly punishment crushes sin. Who will fear the Parthian, who the armed Scythian? Who Will fear the awful children of Germany? Who will fear bellicose Spain, as long as Caesar is undefeated? Each farmer spends his days in his own hills, Joining vine to trees, from which he, having extracted his wine, returns home and invites  you to his meal, a god amongst the rest of the gods. he beseeches you with much prayer, with wine poured out from bowls, and he combines your divine will with the household gods, just as Greece remembers Castor and Hercules the Hero. "O Dear Leader, may you grant long periods of peace to the WEST!" we say, when sober in the morning and, again, when drunken in the evening, when the sun sinks beneath the sea.

Horace's actual position regarding Augustus is an interesting question. The image of a farmer who spends his mornings and evenings thanking the blessings of a god like Augustus is absurd, just as America's infatuation with Obama is absurd. But that is what is fun about reading Horace - the question regarding his true opinion lingers throughout his poems. I personally believe he finds Augustus and his so-called Golden Age completely repugnant. But he would have feared for his welfare and his life if he were to resist. Whether that is prudence or cowardice, I leave for you to decide.

Regardless, Augustus is presented as someone who will save the world and bring peace to all. He was literally worshiped as a god by the people, something that would have been absolutely foul to the morals of the true old Republic.  In the poem, it appears that enemies will no longer be a problem in this new world order. In that case, foreign relations will simply be offers of peace and diplomacy.  Wars will be justified only as threats to that peace and diplomacy.  Unlike Bush, Obama will only engage in just wars in the name of peace. Talk about spin! This is a master spider at work.

Consider too Obama's executive order to close Gitmo and in the meantime delay hearings. Some of the people held in Gitmo are terrorists who participated in 9/11. Doesn't matter. The world has forgotten. The families who lost loved ones are ignored by the media. There is going to be a concerted effort to reformulate the world to the public in such a way so that Obama's presence will appear to have quelled external threats, or if such threats emerge, to immediately, peacefully and QUIETLY put them down.  What this means is that we will not know much of what is really happening in the world. The media will only highlight what it wishes. Transparency, no matter how many times Obama declares that it will be a part of our new government, is going to become a sham. And the more he talks about employing transparency, the more I know he is lying. What he says is less important than what he doesn't say.

One thing I'd like you to look at in the poem is the word "WEST" (Hesperia). Like Obama, the international and local scope of Augustus was blurred - intentionally. Is he the divine ruler of Rome? Is he the divine ruler of the World?  Of the West? Obama's internationalism, like Augustus' once did, is preparing us for something like a One World Government. I am convinced of this. That is why it is absolutely necessary that America's goals become parallel with or identical to the goals of world organizations like the U.N.

In the future, if it has not already transpired, young Americans will have difficulty in really distinguishing the difference between America and the World, except in terms of their geographical position. When that occurs, if it hasn't already, America will go into the forgetfulness of history, just like the old Republic of Rome or even worse, as something that it never was in the first place. Many, upon hearing that, don't and will not care. That is progress for ya!

To be ignorant of what occurred before you were born is to remain always a child. - Cicero

The United Fakes

I have written many times regarding the fakery that is the United Nations. They are a front group for corruption, greed and power.  Here is a great video illustrating the hypocrisy that goes on at the United Nation Interfaith Dialogues. The entire world should know about these criminals and those who would tell Americans that we should support the U.N. and its policies of world government and peace. Unfortunately, Obama is one of those people. Tell your friends, folks.  They will have been warned.

Charter of Compassion: Technofascist Religion

Under conditions of peace the warlike man attacks himself. - Friedrich Nietzsche

"I have seen the burden which God has given to the sons of men to be afflicted with.
He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in their hearts,
yet so that man can't find out the work that God has done from the beginning even to the end." - Ecclesiastes 3:10-11.

I didn't know quite how to begin writing about this organization called The Charter for Compassion, a new peace outfit fashioned by the technofascists over at T.E.D.  and created by T.E.D. prize winner and Islamic sympathizer  Karen Armstrong., whose interpretation of religion is ideological, elitist and decidedly wrong. I mean, when something is just so wrong, like a cake made with salt instead of sugar, one generally will just throw it away. However, if you notice that people are beginning to eat these salt cakes, you start to worry for their health and their minds, not to mention their taste.  You then go and try to tell them not to eat the salt cakes. They don't listen, protesting that the salt and the sugar are the same color and consistency and the person who made the cake put her heart in it. At that point, when you realize you must go all the way back to and explain the fundamentals of food science or the culinary arts in order to eventually show to them that that salt cake is awful cake, is deadly cake and tastes awful, it can appear, at first, to be a pretty daunting task.

To make my job easier, I will employ collective intelligence and won't repeat what Willis E. Elliot , John Mark Reynolds, Brad Hirschfield, Hugh Fitzgerald have said about Ms. Armstrong. Please read their comments, particularly Fitzgerald. For liberals and those who eat salt cake, right or wrong and true or false doesn't matter. As long as her "heart" is in the right place, she is okay. As Fitzgerald says "For Karen Armstrong history does not exist. It is putty in the hands of the person who writes about history. You use it to make a point, to do good as you see it. And whatever you need to twist or omit is justified by the purity of your intentions – and Karen Armstrong always has the purest of intentions." 

As I have said before, the technofascists don't care a wit about history, because they weren't taught that in Computer Science 101. As such, they are able and willing to think Ms. Armstrong is a fabulous source of knowledge for all things religion, because she wants to transform all religions into some kind of meaningless and vacuous orgy of elitist condescension. T.E.D. is so elitist, it even has a special question addressing the question regarding its elitist status: Is TED elitist. One could write an entire book on their response to that one question alone.

Back to her.

Karen Armstrong's elitist cult is all about peace and compassion. This, to her, is what all religions are about.  Heaving hearts and bosoms to be sure. Yet,  to understand her you do need perspective. I do think she is correct if she is talking about creating peace between elitist technofascists having religious arguments around Starbucks lattes and biscotti.  Being able to bear them for more than a second and continuing to remain peaceful requires TONS of compassion - no small feat.

Liberals, over their coffee and their pointy shoes and fingers, are fond of pointing at religion, and particular the Judeo-Christian based religions, as being an example of violence through ideas, but I have to say, at the very least, that the history of the peace movement has done very well murdering on its own without religion's help. Nonetheless,  Karen's The Charter for Compassion implicit premise  is that religions are violent and have caused a lack of peace in the world. As a result, they have mobilized and have announced that we are all invited to participate in the creation of the Charter for Compassion.  Their - or should I say "our"-  web site is an invitation for everyone to contribute. It is a collective effort that is reflecting the ideal global society it wishes to establish, with the consent of its own participants, who it also calls "you".  However, I do not believe they will want to wait for anyone's consent. In fact, they arrogantly suggest ,in their proposed preamble to their charter, that if they fail (read: fail to brainwash the world), "we" will not have a functional world to hand down to our children:

Compassion is a key and universal value in all faiths. The most urgent task of our time is to build a global community around this idea, where all peoples of the world can live together in harmony, appreciation and mutual respect. If we fail to achieve this, it is unlikely that we will have a viable world to hand on to the next generation. We believe that the religions of the world have a unique contribution to make and that is why we have issued this Charter of Compassion.

This group is no more and no less a group formulated in accordance with the globalist agenda as it manifests its tentacles all over the world. She herself recognizes this, that the Charter exists for the purposes of promoting and supporting the myriad of peace groups around the world: 

The Charter for Compassion will not be a new organization. There are hundreds of existing organizations around the world already working tirelessly in the name of compassion and interfaith dialogue. Our goal is to highlight these groups in effort to raise the profile of their work.

The mask they wear is always one of "compassion" and "peace" but if you remove the mask, you will find only one simple thing: a will to power and enslavement of the world through the use of global charters, international courts of law and the destruction of autonomous nations, particularly the United States. All one has to do is look at the U.N. Charter and you will see it is formulated by the same peace-propaganda that is employed by the Charter for Compassion which is ironically enough based on an intense hatred and misunderstanding of religion:

PREAMBLE

WE THE PEOPLES OF THE UNITED NATIONS DETERMINED

-to save succeeding generations from the scourge of war, which twice in our lifetime has brought untold sorrow to mankind, and

-to reaffirm faith in fundamental human rights, in the dignity and worth of the human person, in the equal rights of men and women and of nations large and small, and

-to establish conditions under which justice and respect for the obligations arising from treaties and other sources of international law can be maintained, and

-to promote social progress and better standards of life in larger freedom,

AND FOR THESE ENDS

-to practice tolerance and live together in peace with one another as good neighbours, and

-to unite our strength to maintain international peace and security, and

-to ensure, by the acceptance of principles and the institution of methods, that armed force shall not be used, save in the common interest, and

-to employ international machinery for the promotion of the economic and social advancement of all peoples,

HAVE RESOLVED TO COMBINE OUR EFFORTS TO ACCOMPLISH THESE AIMS

Accordingly, our respective Governments, through representatives assembled in the city of San Francisco, who have exhibited their full powers found to be in good and due form, have agreed to the present Charter of the United Nations and do hereby establish an international organization to be known as the United Nations. 

 

So for all intents and purposes, the Charter for Compassion IS the Charter for the U.N. The fact that they are presenting themselves an organization to be formulated and fulfilled by the public itself is shockingly manipulative and typical of the organizations who brainwash people into thinking that they are speaking with their own minds and not parroting what is being said to them day in and day out in the media, on web sites, in the workplace and on the radio: global peace, cultural harmony, sustainable living, sacrifice for the common good and, last and not least, Obama Obama Obama the Savior of this slave new world.

Granted, it is difficult to be critical of an organization or a movement that plans to legislate and institute, like God himself, global peace and harmony without getting tomatoes hurled at your face. However, I remembered the Pax Romana which was essentially a peace forged and forced by military force.  I also remembered Hitler and how he was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in 1933:

"I say that Hitler ought to have the peace prize, because he is removing all the elements of contest and of struggle from Germany. By driving out the Jews and the democratic and Left element, he is driving out everything that conduces to activity. That means peace ... By suppressing Jews ... he was ending struggle in Germany" (Gertrude Stein, New York Times Magazine, May 6, 1934).

Let's see. Who else was leader for the sake of world peace? Well, how about Stalin and the International Stalin Prize for Strengthening Peace Among Peoples.

The history of world peace on earth is a history of violence, deceit and evil.  So there is one point where I agree with, without condoning, the teachings of Islam: Peace is achieved through Jihad, something Armstrong either naively or nefariously ignore:

The word Islam itself implies different shades of meaning. It is often translated as "peace"
which signifies a sense of security and permanence, soundness, freedom from defects, perfection,
preservation, salvation, deliverance, salutation, accord with others, resignation in the sense that
we are satisfied and not discontented. It is for this reason, among others, that Islam is in
continuous pursuit of peace in the ordinary sense as well as in the different shades of its
meanings. Peace in all its significations becomes the real goal of the religion of Islam, indeed of
every religion. Mischief in whatever form is strongly condemned so that peace is the desired
state of affairs to be established - Jihad Struggle for Peace and Justice

The ideologues of peace will stop at nothing to defend their lily white ideas, their little gods.  To the elite intellectuals who worship these idols of vapour, ideas and ideal leaders are worth far more to humanity than individual bodies and souls. For example, Bill Ayers' Weather Underground was prepared to kill millions of people for the sake of peace. People who prize peace above all things, will kill for its own sake, because to them the ends justify the means. Just take a look at this statement from a globalist. Pay attention to the language of urgency and her reference to "mental" and "sprirtual violence", whatever that means:

It is true, the present culture of violence - not only of physical, but also mental and spiritual violence - must be made to disappear, replaced by a culture of peace. - Kamala Sarup

Makes me shudder. But maybe that's just me.

Now I will say that there are actually two kinds of peace, just like Hesiod describes two kinds of Strife (the other side of the same coin):

So, after all, there was not one kind of Strife alone, but all over the earth there are two. As for the one, a man would praise her when he came to understand her; but the other is blameworthy: and they are wholly different in nature. For one fosters evil war and battle, being cruel: her no man loves; but perforce, through the will of the deathless gods, men pay harsh Strife her honour due. But the other is the elder daughter of dark Night, and the son of Cronos who sits above and dwells in the aether, set her in the roots of the earth: and she is far kinder to men. She stirs up even the shiftless to toil; for a man grows eager to work when he considers his neighbour, a rich man who hastens to plough and plant and put his house in good order; and neighbour vies with is neighbour as he hurries after wealth. This Strife is wholesome for men. And potter is angry with potter, and craftsman with craftsman, and beggar is jealous of beggar, and minstrel of minstrel. - Hesoid, Works and Days

So one peace is a dangerous ideology that usually ends in violence or bloodshed or both. It ends in violence or force because it is vacuous and cannot manifest itself in a world governed by natural laws and reason, so the only way it can walk the earth is by forcing it down our throats like the monster that it is. The technofascists, sweet pacifists and mighty men of modern mind and intelligence that they are, will resort to their muscular and trojan-like engineering skills in order to subjugate and dominate the uninitiated sheeple who don't even know how to reformat their hard drives.

Using innovative group decision-making software, people of all faiths, from all across the globe, will contribute their words and stories on a web site designed specifically for the Charter.

The technofascists will eagerly offer their genius skills  before the alter of worldwide global peace to further proliferate her lies and ignorance. I mean, who needs religious scholars or religious study anymore, when we have "group decision-making" software available to all?  Who would have thought that a new dark age would be ushered in by cool technology? Who would have thought the technofascists would become leaders and manufacturers of this new empty religion that is the global state?

The Communist Cancer in America

The workingmen of Europe feel sure that, as the American War of Independence initiated a new era of ascendancy for the middle class, so the American Antislavery War will do for the working classes. They consider it an earnest of the epoch to come that it fell to the lot of Abraham Lincoln, the single-minded son of the working class, to lead his country through the matchless struggle for the rescue of an enchained race and the reconstruction of a social world. ^[B] - Marx to Lincoln (Address of the International Working Men's Association to Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States of America)

When Marx watched the American Civil War, he saw a "class struggle" manifesting itself in the United States. What he saw was the possibility of the Communist movement take hold. He saw Communism in our present and in our future. Communism to him and to Marxists like him is in fact the unfolding of justice for the world.

This righteousness of Communism is alive and well today in thought and in deed. Communism is not something that just happened or is happening in specific countries, like China or Russia or Cuba. The entire movement of Communism is based upon principles and ideas that transcend national and territorial boundaries.  Communists are decidedly global in their thinking. That they are in this or that country is only so because Communism starts its movement by using the current state of any one nation as a foundation upon which to launch itself and feed. Communism is like a cancer in this sense, and it doesn't matter that this or that implementation of Communism failed by killing its host (the host would be to blame); what matters is that it itself continues to survive and to survive globally. Marx, a reader and admirer of Hegel, saw the movement he created as a manifestation of the true Spirit of the World, the manifest of something that ultimately transplants the God and the divine, because to Marx and to Communists, Mankind is Divine:

"The criticism of religion leads to the doctrine according to which man is, for man, the supreme being; therefore it reaches the categorical imperative of overthrowing all relationships in which man is a degraded, enslaved, abandoned, contemptible being."(K. Marx, Per la critica della filosofia del diritto di Hegel, Introduzione, Rome 1966).

Decidedly for Marx and American Communists, all religion is slavery. One might wonder however, how Obama's Black Liberation Theology could be possible, since it is Marxist in its roots.  You have to remember, Communism is a parasite that cannot survive without feeding on a host. It will use the culture or religion of its host in order to infect it, zombify it and, as usually happens, destroy it:

James Cone, the chief architect of Black Liberation Theology in his book A Black Theology of Liberation (1970), develops black theology as a system. In this new formulation, Christian theology is a theology of liberation -- "a rational study of the being of God in the world in light of the existential situation of an oppressed community, relating the forces of liberation to the essence of the gospel, which is Jesus Christ," writes Cone. Black consciousness and the black experience of oppression orient black liberation theology -- i.e., one of victimization from white oppression. - Acton Institute

Communists are only, you see, standing up for the common man, the working class, the poor, the downtrodden. In fact, the current globalism of the U.N. is  based upon the conceptual unification of the "poor" and "underprivileged" and "persecuted". World globalism, the globalization of the world powers is unified by virtue of a philosophy of victimhood. This is no different from the victimhood as preached by Obama's former Church in Chicago. This is no different from the victimhood as preached by the media regarding the Katrina disaster. Again, this is no different from the American people who are currently victims of the evil fat cats of Wall Street. The list goes on and one. So what do the Communists offer as a solution? Community organizing, youth groups, civilian groups of various sorts. All of these aim at teaching young people that they or their peers are victims who need saving by government programs and institutions.  Just take a visit to the UNESCO's website and review the hundreds of organizations, both small and large, that they are supporting. All of it sounds so good, because who doesn't like Unicorns and smiley faces. But please, read between the lines. After you peruse the UNESCO website, then go check out president elect Obama's http://change.gov:

"The change we need isn't just about new programs and policies. It's about a new politics - a politics that calls on our better angels instead of encouraging our worst instincts; one that reminds us of the obligations we have to ourselves and one another."

Sounds nice doesn't it? You'd have to be a hate-mongering Republican to not jump on the bandwagon. And that is in fact what you are going to be labeled (or worse) in the future America.

Ayn Rand spent much of her philosophical life talking about the dangers of the so-called virtues of altruism, as opposed to the "virtue of selfishness":

Civilization is the progress toward a society of privacy. The savage's whole existence is public, ruled by the laws of his tribe. Civilization is the process of setting man free from men. - Ayn Rand

Now she did not mean that it is bad to help people.  Private individuals can choose to help and give to whomever they choose. That is a privilege of being free. What she did intend is for us to become aware of how Communism and Globalism uses the natural goodness and cooperativeness in man's nature in order to enslave it to some public ideal of the State. Communism is a huge contradiction: it wants to enslave the world by freeing the slaves. And you wonder why today so many people today are turning to psychiatry and Oprah? Americans are a confused bunch these days, mainly because they have by and large become tools of the Communist left. In a free society, in a civilized society human beings can give and cooperate with each other freely. In a society of slaves, the leader or the state imposes requirements on individuals who, if they do not comply, are ostracized at best or at worst sent to GULAGS or some euphemistic equivalent,

Michelle Obama, the woman behind the mask,  in fact said that Obama will not allow us to go back to our former ways. Below is a transcription of some of what she said in a speech, but listen to the audio itself. She sounds like Oprah. She sounds like Landmark Education or EST.

Barack Obama will require you to work. He is going to demand that you shed your cynicism. That you put down your divisions. That you come out of your isolation, that you move out of your comfort zones. That you push yourselves to be better. And that you engage. Barack will never allow you to go back to your lives as usual, uninvolved, uninformed... - Hugh Hewitt (audio)

The people cheer! America has arrived towards its destiny!

So despite the contradiction in itself, that it enslaves in order to free, that it kills in order to let live, the Communists plod on: altruism is a virtue and selfishness is capitalism. Currently in the United States, what we call "political correctness" is in fact altruism, extreme altruism, that has first and foremost infected our corporations, churches, synagogues and virtually every other public organization/community. Muslim leaders, black leaders, leaders of the gay movement all use altruism to unite themselves into a single force, which is that motley brew known as the American Left, the crowning achievement of the Communist agenda. Workers of the world unite! Brainwashing the American people has always been first and foremost the top priority of the global Communist agenda because America is the most powerful nation in the world. America was a priority even in the mind of Marx long ago when he, though only in mind, united American slaves to the European working class as evidenced in the quote at the top of this post.

So, as it stands, we have voted Obama in BECAUSE we have bought into the victimhood persona, way before Obama. And now, in Obama, we see what Marx saw in Lincoln. Obama will continue to appear centrist or moderate, and he will only push the rhetoric and propaganda into areas that work to the Communist advantage. You will never see him become a Stalin, because that would be absurd in place like America. You will see however, the indoctrination of our young people from earliest ages, the enforcement of political correctness in our workplaces, the abandonment and forgetfulness of the history of America, the peer pressure, the formation of community organizations, the absorption of government into our daily lives.

Communism always, as a movement, uses the language and mores of any one nation to its own advantage. That is why Communism is always insidious and invisible to most people. It is a slow and but sure poisoning of the language and culture of the nation in which it chooses to live. Look no further than this quote on Obama's Change website:

"When you choose to serve -- whether it's your nation, your community or simply your neighborhood -- you are connected to that fundamental American ideal that we want life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness not just for ourselves, but for all Americans. That's why it's called the American dream." - Change.gov

If I remember correctly, the people are not to "serve" our nation or any other community for that matter. Our Constitution does not say that we will serve the State, but rather that we elect officials of state who will serve US. Also notice how Obama says that we should look towards the global collective in our pursuit of the American Dream. Again, Communism is a parasite and a cancer. It feeds off the words, the dreams, the life of its host.  America is getting ready to have the rest of its life blood consumed by the beast, and when that happens, the remains of the carcass will shrivel up and disappear, forever ending this grand experiment that we once knew as freedom.
