Gospel of the New Truth

Son of Ra

May 16, 2008: Yesterday, in a speech to the Israeli parliament, President Bush made the rational and true observation that there are some people who want to negotiate with those country leaders who proclaim they are our sworn enemies, and to do so would be appeasement. Bush also went on to recall what happened as a result of Britain's Prime Minister Chamberlain meeting with Adolf Hitler. Apparently, Mr. Obama believes he is the son of Ra, or some ancient Egyptian pharaoh, in that the world revolves around him; and in that he immediately took umbrage with Bush's statement that it was a political attack against him. This guy is something else!

It seems as though Obama, like probably most of his supporters, doesn't have much sense of history. Of course, Chamberlain's "peace in our time" appeasement of Hitler is probably ancient history to those young folk.

To repeat what I have said in the past, and taking liberty with a quote from George Santanya - those who forget history, or do not know history, are doomed to repeat it. In addition, Obama insisted today that he did not state he would meet with those leaders without preconditions - another example of how the liberal fascist mind works - whatever they say is to be deemed as the sole truth, and to criticize what they say is not allowed. And this from a guy with delusions of being president. If this doesn't give you a strong line on what to expect from an Obama administration, should the country unfortunately come to that, I imagine not much else will.

Mine Your College Education

May 13, 2008: Your high school years are just about completed, and you are heading off to the college of your choice. Hopefully, you learned something during the four years of your high school "education" - my sarcasm is based upon what I have read and some high school students with whom I've conversed.

Anyhow, that experience will be behind you, and a whole new world of learning possibilities will be opened for you, so let me provide you with a few words of advice. Of course, I could be out of touch with some of the modern day thinking about what a college education should be, but I really don't think so. I had a short experience teaching a few college courses a number of decades ago, and some things never change - in this case, the basic concept of learning.

The advice listed below will always stand you in good stead:

pay attention to what your instructors/professors are teaching

if there are ideas presented, or technical information presented, about which you have trouble understanding, don't be afraid to ask questions

do some additional research/study on subjects in which you are most interested - become active in clubs and other organizations targeted to your career goals

be aware that in many courses of study - particularly those in the social and economic areas, you will be taught by instructors/professors who more than likely have a specific political mind set, so the advice here is the same as the first part of the previous section

Your college life can, and should be, one of the most important segments of your life, so use the time spent in that environment wisely. In particular, if you are living on campus, you will probably become a target of political indoctrination by the various on-campus student organizations. Therefore it is important for you to raise your thinking and intellect level by a few notches, so as to be able to avoid being swept up by emotional arguments.

The course of action upon which you travel will have a determining effect on your future success, so be sure to mine your education for as many gems of information you can, and remember these words from Ralph Waldo Emerson, "The things taught in school are not an education but the means of an education."

The Danger Grows

May 9, 2008: The following excerpt is from a column posted by Matt Stoller, Open Left at 7:47 AM on May 8, 2008, in the Alter Net online publication, titled Obama's Consolidation of the Party:

"All I'll add is that it's time to think through the consequences of a party where there is a new chief with massive amounts of power. I've been in the wilderness all my political life, as have most of us. The Clintonistas haven't, and they know what it's like to be part of the inside crew. We have a leader, and he's not a partisan and he can now end fractious intraparty fights with a word and/or a nod. His opinion really matters in a way that even Nancy Pelosi's just did not. He has control of the party apparatus, the grassroots, the money, and the messaging environment. He is also, and this is fundamental, someone that millions of people believe in as a moral force. When you disagree with Obama, you are saying to these people 'your favorite band sucks'(emphasis added)

. Like many of us, I endorsed Obama, gave him money, and I intend to work to get him elected. He is attempting to completely rewrite the rules of politics, and we should try to figure out what that means for where we take our meager work. Obama is now the party leader. And he has ensured and we have given him the mandate that when he speaks, he speaks for all of us. I hope he's a vibrant progressive when he gets into office, and we should begin figuring out how to put ourselves in a position to help him take the country in a progressive direction."

The onward march to liberal fascism continues - the danger grows. Indicative of my contention is the line about disagreeing with Obama - a reaction that liberal fascists have had, about any disagreement with them, for the past 100 years. Progressivism, in reality, is only another description of socialism. This is exactly the kind of scenario I've been warning about in my previous blogs. As George Santanya wrote, those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it. -30-

The OBAMA Acronym

May 8, 2008: It appears that in the current Democrat Primary climate, Senator Obama will be the party's presidential nominee, and there's a good chance, at this time, that Obama could win the election.

Until proven wrong, I have some strong fears about that occurrence, for a number of reasons. In no particular order,

• inculcation by Pastor Wright of his views on American society, most notably expressed by Michelle Obama

• Obama's continued speeches about uniting the country, including building and maintaining a bi-partisan cooperative existence in the halls of Congress (a corporatist action)

• Michelle Obama's remarks about evening out the economic pie - spreading the wealth

• Obama's early statements that show he would delegate much of the presidential management work

• a lack of evidence proving Obama's professional capability to assume the office (other than making lofty speeches)

• the weakness of both houses of Congress in carrying out their duty of "checks and balances"

It appears to me that what we have here is the OBAMA Acronym: "Obamas Believe America should be a Marxist America".

That doesn't change my previous opinions that Obama is a liberal fascist - Marxism and liberal fascism are shirts cut from the same cloth. What we have is the socialist call for corporatism (control of a state or organization by large interest groups; "individualism is in danger of being swamped by a kind of corporatism"; important - read this). This unity called for by Obama is a nationalist call - in itself a good thing - but as expressed in opinions by Michelle Obama, indicates a desire to denigrate capitalism and replace it with a more socialist economic approach.

Now this is not a new idea from those who would - and did - lead this country, except that in the end, because we really know that a strong capitalism is what has made us the great country weare, it has not worked. Of course, there's no guarantee that it won't, now, given the ideologies in which many of our recent crops of college graduates have been immersed.

More Questions About Obama

May 5, 2008: The other day, it was reported that Al Sharpton threatened mass riots by black voters if Obama did not receive the Democrat Party nomination. This is the second civil disobedience, or worse, threat made by Sharpton in the past few weeks - the first concerned the judge's ruling in a New York City police shooting case. So far, nothing has been heard from the great uniter, with reference to Sharpton's threats. In a recent speech, Obama talked about providing a college education for everyone, or words to that effect. Another "chicken in every pot" promise. The only problem with the state (our federal government) giving everyone a "free" college eductaion is that it smacks of Bismarkian, Mussolini-istic, Hitlerian National Socialism. A program of that type is bad, because it makes the grant receiver a property of the state - just what is found in liberal fascism, or Fascism per se. It is just another "Brave New World" concept. We are now beginning to hear commentators talk about the high probability that Pastor Wright has said what we've recently heard because he doesn't want Obama to be elected. That might also be on the minds of Al Sharpton and other black leaders/spokesmen. That might not be as strange an idea as one might think. Shelby Steele, who wrote the book A BOUND MAN: WHY WE ARE EXCITED ABOUT OBAMA AND WHY HE CAN'T WIN, has laid out the concept very simply (as I have written about in the past)- the power of black leaders is held in the concept that the "man" is holding blacks down, therefore much noise can be made about that, as well as laying guilt on the white man's shoulders. Once that concept is proven false, vis-a-vis Obama's election, then those "leaders" lose their power. This Democrat Party primary race has some pretty interesting depths to it. -30-

Machine conspiracy

May 1, 2008: Did you ever have the nagging thoughts that one of your major household appliances was going to fall apart and you weren't going to be home to take care of it? Well, I've recently had that thought several times when I was going out of town for a few days. I kept thinking that my 12 year old hot water heater, which I carefully maintain, was going to end up spouting water while I was down in Laughlin for a few days of R&R. Not only would the Las Vegas Valley Water District be sending me a big bill for wasting water, but I would probably have a lot of neighbors PO'd. I worried about that since the warrantee for the unit was six years, there was some cause for concern

Anyhow, I was reading an article in this morning's paper about what you could buy with the $600 rebate we're all getting - hopefully, ours will arrive sometime in the early fall. But I read that article just for curiosity's sake, since I knew where that money was going to go - our dishwasher suddenly began making noise about two weeks ago (around April 15), and finally ceased its life a couple of days ago. I'm waiting for delivery of a new one as I write this). Well, OK, I thought when the dishwasher stopped working, at least most of it will be paid for with the rebate.

But wait!. I believe artificial intelligence is at work, because no sooner than did we order the new dishwasher, than the hot water heater began leaking...what is it with these machines, are they engaged in a conspiracy to see which one could spend the rebate the fastest? So today I have two new pieces of household equipment arriving - hey, at least I won't have to worry about the hot water heater leaking when I'm out of town - some consolation. This is the first time I've had to replace either unit in any home I've had. So either that's a sign of AI, or it is just that, even though the technology has greatly improved over the years, perhaps quality hasn't.

Just remember, when you hear odd noises in the night, it's probably your appliances conspiring with each other.
