Barack Obama: The Hollow Man

Forwarded Email:

Barack Obama is less of a person than an image--a brand. People see whatever they want, as they do on a Rorschach test. But does anyone really know him? In fact, he is: An empty suit. A man with no birth certificate. A man who was deserted in childhood by his biological father. A man whose birth records, both in the United States and Kenya, are sealed by government order. A man whose childhood mentor, Frank Marshall Davis, spied on U.S. military installations in Hawaii for the Soviet Union, edited a communist newspaper, authored pornographic novels, and wrote poetry in praise of Joseph Stalin. A man mentored by and still supported by radical Muslims. A man who promised transparency in government, but has spent over a million dollars in legal fees hiding information that would deter mine his eligibility to be President. A former drug user. A man whose academic records are sealed from kindergarten through law school. A man who arrived in New York in June of 1981 without enough money to get a hotel room, but one month later flew to Indonesia and Pakistan... Why did he go? Who paid his expenses? A man who traveled to Pakistan when it was illegal for U.S. citizens to do so. So what country's passport did he use? A man whose Law School Admission Test scores and grades at Columbia University are known to have been mediocre, but was admitted to Harvard Law School through the intervention of a Saudi named Khalid al-Mansour. A law review editor who never published an article in any law review. A lawyer with no significant accomplishments in the law and no reputation in the legal community. A former State and U.S. Senator, who never authored a piece of legislation. A disciple of the Marxist Saul Alinsky. A product of the Chicago political machine-the most corrupt political organization in America. A man who selects Marxists, corrupt politicians, and criminals as his close political associates and personal friends. A man whose presidential candidacy was endorsed by the Democratic Socialists of America , the Socialist International, and the Workers International League. A man lauded for the literary brilliance of two memoirs, both of which were ghostwritten by others. A so-called Christian who says that knowing when human life begins is "above his pay-grade," but somehow knows that abortion is permissible at any stage. A man who thinks "waterboarding" is immoral, but that partial-birth abortion is moral. A man who publicly laments slavery in America-which was abolished 150 years ago-but praises Islam, which still practices both slavery and the sexual mutilation of young girls. A man who speaks endlessly about helping the less fortunate, but gives almost none of his sizeable income to charity-not even to his half-brother, who is living in squalor in Kenya. A man who had the most left-wing voting record in the United State Senate, but was predicted by the press to "govern from the middle." A man who has never created a job, met a payroll, or even operated a lemonade stand, but wants to tell Detroit how to make cars. A President who has never before served as an executive in either the private or the public sector. A Commander-in-Chief who doesn't know how to shoot a rifle, throw a hand-grenade, drive a tank, fly a plane, or con a ship. A Commander-in-Chief who has publicly divulged some of our nation's most important intelligence secrets. A man who has been put in charge of the largest economic engine that ever existed, but has never invested in the stock market and admits total ignorance of it. A President who says that science will guide his administration, but has no education in the sciences. A man who is proficient in reading what is written for him on a teleprompter, but jerks and stammers his way through any off-the-cuff speaking. A man whose health records are sealed from childhood to the present day. A man whose educational records are sealed from childhood through law school. A man who spent 20 years in a church whose pastor espouses Marxist Liberation Theology, anti-Americanism, anti-capitalism, and anti-Semitism, but claims he never heard his pastor utter anti-American, and anti-Semitic statements. A man who added more to the National Debt in 100 days than all other Presidents did in the past 220 years, yet feels qualified to lecture Americans about "fiscal responsibility". A man who publicly expressed disdain for the U.S. Constitution on a Chicago radio station because it limited the government's ability to "redistribute wealth." The first American President to bow before a foreign head of state-a Muslim dictator. A man who sits and listens submissively while his country is castigated by Daniel Ortega-a Communist thug whose own daughter accused him of raping her. A narcissist who gave the Queen of England a present from the United States --an iPod containing recordings of his own speeches. A so-called Christian who officially declared "Pride Month" for a lifestyle that the Bible calls an abomination. A man who wanted Americans to ignore his Muslim name during his election campaign, yet boasts of his Muslim name when he travels to Muslim countries. A man who can name hundreds of America's shortcomings, yet none of its great accomplishments. A President who claims the moral high ground by closing Gitmo yet supports the transfer of terror suspects to countries where horrific torture is certain. A President who scoffed at being called a socialist yet acted to nationalize the auto industry, the banking industry, and the insurance industry ... and now seeks to nationalize the healthcare industry. A President who violates private property rights, the sanctity of contracts, and the rule of law-three essential principles that go back over a thousand years in the Common Law tradition. A man who promised 95% of all Americans a tax cut, but is increasing taxes on 100% of the population through inflation-the cruelest tax of all. A lawyer who represented ACORN-an organization now indicted in several states for voter fraud-whose stated goal is to get as many people on welfare as possible in order to destroy our financial system. A President who cheated GM's bondholders by giving their property to the UAW in a political payoff. A man who spent millions of dollars creating jobs--in districts that don't exist at all. An American President who frequently criticizes his own country when speaking in foreign countries, but never praises America 's generosity, goodness or greatness. A President whose Secretary of the Treasury cheated on his taxes-as did several other appointees and advisors. A President who, despite the current federal debt of 100 trillion dollars, wants to add the greatest debt ever by nationalizing healthcare. A President who scoffs at being called a socialist, yet has appointed 28 "Czars" to circumvent constitutional government, including: A "Science Czar" who has advocated compulsory abortions for American women and the "surrender of sovereignty" to a "comprehensive Planetary Regime." A self-professed communist as his "Green Jobs Czar". A "Pay Czar" to regulate the pay of corporate executives. A President who swore an oath to "preserve, protect and defend the constitution from all enemies, foreign and domestic," yet has nominated a domestic enemy of the Constitution to the Supreme Court. A President whose Homeland Security Chief classified pro-lifers, veterans, and supporters of traditional marriage as terrorists. A President who stood silent while the Iranian government hacked unarmed protestors to death with axes, because it was an internal matter, but freely offers his opinions about the internal affairs of Israel and Honduras. A President who decreed that true acts of terrorism must now be described as "man-made disasters." A President who cracks hurtful jokes about Special Olympians. A President who refused to intercept or inspect a North Korean ship virtually certain to be carrying Weapons of Mass Destruction to Burma. A President who wants to cancel all missile defenses while rogue nations are developing long-range ballistic missiles. An American President who blames the violence in Mexico on America. A Commander in Chief who claims to have been unaware that Air Force One was taken on a terrifying, low-level photo-op over Manhattan. A President who berates American CEO's for flying in private planes at private expense on company business, but whose wife spends hundreds of thousands tax payer dollars flying to Paris for a shopping spree. A President who promised a transparent administration, but requires all questions be screened before "impromptu" appearances. A man who freely admitted that his energy policies are designed to bankrupt the American coal industry. A President who has presided over the loss of 14.7 million jobs and whose "energy policy" will cause the loss of another 1 million jobs. A President whose "energy policy" will increase the average American's utility bills by over $2,000 a year in the middle of the Great Recession. A man about whom liberal journalist Tom Brokaw said: "There's a lot about him we don't know." --just one week before the election. The vast majority of Americans do not know who he is, but someone surely does... Someone paid for his travel expenses to Pakistan and Indonesia. Someone engineered legal challenges to all of his election opponents for the State Senate and had them disqualified. Someone straightened and leveled his path to the U.S. Senate when a Democrat Judge made public the child custody records of his Republican opponent. When he was a candidate for the U.S. Senate... Someone arranged for him to speak at the 2004 Democratic National Convention. Someone saw to it that all of his records were sealed, both at home and abroad. Someone assembled the massive organization for his run for the Presidency. Someone knows all about him. WHO? Author unknown, but he or she deserves Congratulations... "As Americans we should not be shocked that Obama was given the Nobel Peace Prize without any accomplishments to his name. We gave him the White House based on the same credentials..."

History is Repeating Itself...

David Kaiser is a respected historian whose published works have covered a broad range of topics, from European Warfare to American League Baseball. Born in 1947, the son of a diplomat, Kaiser spent his childhood in three capital cities: Washington D.C. , Albany , New York , and Dakar , Senegal .. He attended Harvard University , graduating there in 1969 with a B.A. in history. He then spent several years more at Harvard, gaining a PhD in history, which he obtained in 1976. He served in the Army Reserve from 1970 to 1976. He is a professor in the Strategy and Policy Department of the United States Naval War College. He has previously taught at Carnegie Mellon, Williams College and Harvard University . Kaiser's latest book, The Road to Dallas, about the Kennedy assassination, was just published by Harvard University Press. Dr. David Kaiser History Unfolding I am a student of history. Professionally, I have written 15 books on history that have been published in six languages, and I have studied history all my life. I have come to think there is something monumentally large afoot, and I do not believe it is simply a banking crisis, or a mortgage crisis, or a credit crisis. Yes these exist, but they are merely single facets on a very large gemstone that is only now coming into a sharper focus. Something of historic proportions is happening. I can sense it because I know how it feels, smells, what it looks like, and how people react to it. Yes, a perfect storm may be brewing, but there is something happening within our country that has been evolving for about ten to fifteen years. The pace has dramatically quickened in the past two. We demand and then codify into law the requirement that our banks make massive loans to people we know they can never pay back? Why? We learned just days ago that the Federal Reserve, which has little or no real oversight by anyone, has "loaned" two trillion dollars (that is $2,000,000,000,000) over the past few months, but will not tell us to whom or why or disclose the terms. That is our money. Yours and mine. And that is three times the $700 billion we all argued about so strenuously just this past September. Who has this money? Why do they have it? Why are the terms unavailable to us? Who asked for it? Who authorized it? I thought this was a government of "we the people," who loaned our powers to our elected leaders. Apparently not. We have spent two or more decades intentionally de-industrializing our economy.. Why? We have intentionally dumbed down our schools, ignored our history, and no longer teach our founding documents, why we are exceptional, and why we are worth preserving. Students by and large cannot write, think critically, read, or articulate. Parents are not revolting, teachers are not picketing, school boards continue to back mediocrity. Why? We have now established the precedent of protesting every close election (violently in California over a proposition that is so controversial that it simply wants marriage to remain defined as between one man and one woman. Did you ever think such a thing possible just a decade ago?) We have corrupted our sacred political process by allowing unelected judges to write laws that radically change our way of life, and then mainstream Marxist groups like ACORN and others to turn our voting system into a banana republic. To what purpose? Now our mortgage industry is collapsing, housing prices are in free fall, major industries are failing, our banking system is on the verge of collapse, social security is nearly bankrupt, as is Medicare and our entire government. Our education system is worse than a joke (I teach college and I know precisely what I am talking about) - the list is staggering in its length, breadth, and depth.. It is potentially 1929 x ten...And we are at war with an enemy we cannot even name for fear of offending people of the same religion, who, in turn, cannot wait to slit the throats of your children if they have the opportunity to do so. And finally, we have elected a man that no one really knows anything about, who has never run so much as a Dairy Queen, let alone a town as big as Wasilla , Alaska .. All of his associations and alliances are with real radicals in their chosen fields of employment, and everything we learn about him, drip by drip, is unsettling if not downright scary (Surely you have heard him speak about his idea to create and fund a mandatory civilian defense force stronger than our military for use inside our borders? No? Oh, of course. The media would never play that for you over and over and then demand he answer it. Sarah Palin's pregnant daughter and $150,000 wardrobe are more important.) Mr. Obama's winning platform can be boiled down to one word: Change. Why? I have never been so afraid for my country and for my children as I am now. This man campaigned on bringing people together, something he has never, ever done in his professional life. In my assessment, Obama will divide us along philosophical lines, push us apart, and then try to realign the pieces into a new and different power structure. Change is indeed coming. And when it comes, you will never see the same nation again. And that is only the beginning.. As a serious student of history, I thought I would never come to experience what the ordinary, moral German must have felt in the mid-1930s In those times, the "savior" was a former smooth-talking rabble-rouser from the streets, about whom the average German knew next to nothing. What they should have known was that he was associated with groups that shouted, shoved, and pushed around people with whom they disagreed; he edged his way onto the political stage through great oratory. Conservative "losers" read it right now. And there were the promises. Economic times were tough, people were losing jobs, and he was a great speaker. And he smiled and frowned and waved a lot. And people, even newspapers, were afraid to speak out for fear that his "brown shirts" would bully and beat them into submission. Which they did - regularly. And then, he was duly elected to office, while a full-throttled economic crisis bloomed at hand - the Great Depression. Slowly, but surely he seized the controls of government power, person by person, department by department, bureaucracy by bureaucracy. The children of German citizens were at first, encouraged to join a Youth Movement in his name where they were taught exactly what to think. Later, they were required to do so. No Jews of course, How did he get people on his side? He did it by promising jobs to the jobless, money to the money-less, and rewards for the military-industrial complex. He did it by indoctrinating the children, advocating gun control, health care for all, better wages, better jobs, and promising to re-instill pride once again in the country, across Europe , and across the world. He did it with a compliant media - did you know that? And he did this all in the name of justice and .... . .. change. And the people surely got what they voted for. If you think I am exaggerating, look it up. It's all there in the history books. So read your history books. Many people of conscience objected in 1933 and were shouted down, called names, laughed at, and ridiculed. When Winston Churchill pointed out the obvious in the late 1930s while seated in the House of Lords in England (he was not yet Prime Minister), he was booed into his seat and called a crazy troublemaker. He was right, though. And the world came to regret that he was not listened to. Do not forget that Germany was the most educated, the most cultured country in Europe . It was full of music, art, museums, hospitals, laboratories, and universities. And yet, in less than six years (a shorter time span than just two terms of the U. S. presidency) it was rounding up its own citizens, killing others, abrogating its laws, turning children against parents, and neighbors against neighbors.. All with the best of intentions, of course. The road to Hell is paved with them. As a practical thinker, one not overly prone to emotional decisions, I have a choice: I can either believe what the objective pieces of evidence tell me (even if they make me cringe with disgust); I can believe what history is shouting to me from across the chasm of seven decades; or I can hope I am wrong by closing my eyes, having another latte, and ignoring what is transpiring around me.. I choose to believe the evidence. No doubt some people will scoff at me, others laugh, or think I am foolish, naive, or both. To some degree, perhaps I am. But I have never been afraid to look people in the eye and tell them exactly what I believe-and why I believe it. I pray I am wrong. I do not think I am. Perhaps the only hope is our vote in the next elections. David Kaiser Jamestown , Rhode Island United States

Pass this along. Perhaps it will help to begin the awakening of America as to where we are headed.......
