The hunt for Barack’s brain, Part II

May 18, 2009

When we last left our intrepid President, he was using his special coded phrases during the Notre Dame commencement speech to tell us clearly that he intended to ‘re-make’ America into something other than what it was or is. It didn’t take more than a single, distant voice to throw him off his teleprompter read, and he didn’t regain his tempo until that person was silenced. But, he did manage to get back on track and delivered his usual stirring, if Orwellian, spiel. And, in what can only be described as Olympic-level semantics and mental gymnastics, he proposed that the right wing nut cases (his inference, not this writer’s) and the compassionate, intelligent left (once again, his inference, not this writer’s) find a middle ground, as if there can be a middle ground between right and wrong, or good and evil acts. The abortion issue is just another instance where Obama obfuscates his radical position with conciliatory language that holds no meaning or commitment on his part or that of the Democratic Party.

But, it was the teleprompter thing, again. Ask anyone who speaks from a well-grounded understanding of their moral or political conviction, or who speaks with a clarity of vision that only a moral imperative can drive, and you’ll find that they can easily overcome a balky teleprompter, a noisy crowd or a mass of hecklers to deliver their message. This actor, this poseur Obama, can’t seem to do it. He’s rattled by the simplest of glitches, he’s peeved when someone asks a question that’s not on the list and he’s angered when someone doesn’t kiss his butt. This is a dangerous person. He believes his own press releases and his great ‘mission’. This is a charismatic orator and personality who can perform on the level of a Hitler or a Mao, both of whom were incredibly charismatic speakers and with mere words drove their nations over the brink and into madness. The only difference here is that someone else is writing those speeches, which would or could imply that someone else is calling the shots and doing the thinking.

So, it’s back to trying to figure out who is or are the brains behind Barack Obama. This week’s candidate is Jeffrey Immelt, chairman of General Electric, which happens to own NBC, CNBC, MSNBC and scores of local TV and radio stations. Now, GE hasn’t done particularly well under Jeffrey Immelt, especially the ill-conceived “Eco-Imagination” drive to push GE’s various ‘green’ businesses. Despite 8 years of constant flogging by Al Gore and Robert Kennedy, Jr., Americans just haven’t been all that interested in environmental issues. GE is over-invested and over-leveraged in the alternative energy sector, especially wind power, because the other nations who’ve tried wind power already know it’s useless and are dialing back. Jeffrey’s in trouble. So, why not throw your support behind a candidate who will gladly carry your water for you when he’s president? And by the way, Jeffrey can have his TV network scorch the competition just to make sure that Obama gets elected.

How about that national health care? Here’s another potential GE bonanza. After all, GE is one of the largest makers of medical equipment in the world. A huge government spending spree would do wonders for that profit/loss statement and Jeffrey’s personal bonus package. And then of course, there’s GE Capital. No, they’re not a bank, but they did receive $240 billion (more than anyone else) in TARP money to save GE Capital’s balance sheet and Jeffrey’s summer home in the Hampton’s. But don’t worry, they’re going to pay it back with PPIP money - the Private Public Investment Program that promised to screw American taxpayers in a way they’ve never been screwed before. Unlike TARP, GE can borrow all the money it wants and never pay it back. Why? Because Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner set it up that way. More on that in this week’s home page article.

In any case, Jeffrey Immelt could be a plausible choice as Barack’s brain. The lag in response time, the carefully crafted words all sound like typical corporate newspeak. Or is it typical political newspeak? In fact, is there any difference? Immelt, like Obama, is a politician. He controls vast amounts of money that doesn’t belong to him. He will do whatever he needs to do to advance his personal agenda, and he doesn’t care who gets hurt. Is our man Jeffrey Barack’s brain? Our next installment on the hunt for Barack’s brain takes an unexpected turn…

The hunt for Barack’s brain, part I

May 7, 2009

That teleprompter not only tells him what to say, it has little highlights that instruct him when to pause, when to look out wistfully over the audience, and when to smile. The performances are worthy of an Oscar. The media routinely accused Ronald Reagan of being merely an actor, playing to the tune of darker forces. Decades later, Reagan’s personal handwritten notes served as indisputable proof that the man knew what he was talking about. The same cannot be said for this new President. His ghostwritten books, his ghostwritten speeches are delivered with stunning virtuosity. He probably believes what he says — when it’s convenient for him to do so. And, he is smart enough to know that he’s lying most of the time, even though he’s not as smart as George W. Bush. So then, who is Barack’s brain? Who directs the writing of those magnificent speeches and carefully crafted, evasive statements that hide the true agenda? Axelrod is a scribe — a very good scribe, but nonetheless a scribe. He’s getting the ‘vision’ from someone and it’s not Obama. When Obama says he doesn’t have an opinion, or wasn’t aware of something, it’s because he hasn’t been told what to say yet. There’s always a 6-8 hour time lag between the event and Obama’s carefully crafted response to the event, regardless of the severity or significance of that event. Yes, of course, Obama has a say in what’s being written for him, but there appears to be an approval process. Notice how he stammers and babbles when there is no teleprompter, or when someone asks him a question for which he’s not prepared.

Okay, then. Who is Barack’s brain? This blog is happy to hear from anyone with a plausible suspect. As mentioned on this website’s home page, George Soros is under suspicion. Ted Kennedy or any member of the Kennedy clan just isn’t up to the task and neither is anyone in Hollywood. The brain could be an individual, a small group of individuals or an organization. The time delay before Obama responds to anything would indicate that more than one person is involved, although Obama himself is probably prone to dithering and indecisiveness. Think about someone beyond the borders of this country. Someone with an outlook very different from ours. After all, Obama is not of America. He’s not from America, either. His mother despised America, especially middle America. His father and stepfather were not Americans,  they were not sympathetic to America and did not aspire to become Americans. And, ironically enough, Americans were stupid enough to elect this man as President. Not by a huge margin — only 52.7%. But, it’s enough to destroy us all, even the fools that voted for him. The hunt continues. Let’s hope there’s really a functioning brain behind all this…

Svengali and Trilby

May 7, 2009

Who is Barack Obama’s Svengali? Is it possible that Barack Obama has the faculties, the intelligence, the megalomaniacal drive necessary to destroy this country on his own? It’s obvious the mainstream media is providing cover and Congress is doing their part to spend as foolishly as possible, but what our President is doing to this great country is so evil and malevolent, it borders on insanity . Does Barack Obama hate this country so deeply and with so much passion that he’s dedicated his life to its destruction? The motives just don’t seem to be there. Here’s a guy who never had to really work very hard, who received an incredible education free of charge, who’s lived comfortably, even luxuriously, through the generosity of our government, the special preferences granted him, various social programs and the largess of wealthy liberals. Maybe Barack Obama is just a Trilby, someone that’s easily instructed and handled, yet possessed of charismatic presentation. That may very well be. Obama is a very ambitious man, one who firmly believes in his own magnificence and sense of destiny. His head is filled with an ideology that has been proven worthless time and time again. Yet, he moves forward with a deliberate tempo and increasingly more dangerous and damaging policies. He doesn’t appear to understand what the consequences might be. Therefore, one can only assume he doesn’t know or is too self-absorbed to care. Who could be the Svengali to Obama’s Trilby?

Bill Ayers probably had a hand in writing some of Barack Obama’s books, which mysteriously became bestsellers during a time when books of that type didn’t sell particularly well. But Bill Ayers, the unrepentant domestic terrorist and college professor (somehow that’s a combination that works on campus), doesn’t seem to have the imagination and intellect to dream up this wholesale destruction of America. But then, you never know. His stupid bombing attacks on the Pentagon and NYC police headquarters were committed when he was quite young. Over 40 years, a man has time to dream up new ways to destroy his country. No, Bill Ayers just doesn’t have it. He’s just an over the hill radical who can only survive by talking at impressionable college students who haven’t been out in real world and don’t know any better.

There’s always George Soros, international man of mystery and money manipulation. Here’s someone with real hatred towards America, someone who is forced to hide inside our borders because he’s destroyed the economies of so many countries there’s probably a contract out for his murder. Soros is the fellow who funds dozens of left wing hatemongers and smear websites like moveon.org, the Daily Kos, and literally hundreds of bloggers, activists and street people. Soros and his pals made $2 billion dollars back in ‘92 shorting the Bank of England, creating roughly $30 billion in economic damage that was then foisted onto the backs of British taxpayers. He did the same in Russia, then moved on to Southeast Asia where he shorted the currencies of Myanmar, Indonesia and Singapore, and where he’s still wanted on currency manipulation charges. Soros has the same MO wherever he goes - donate to ‘progressive’ causes, establish ‘democratic’ front organizations, then push the governments into overspending. He then swoops in, shorts the currency and creates an economic collapse. Soros and buddies walk away with billions. Who’s to say that he isn’t doing the same thing here, with Barack Obama gladly devaluing the currency with huge stimulus bills, enormous deficits and uncontrolled spending? Soros could be waiting in the wings, ready to pounce.

If he does, Soros and his pals will walk way with trillions in personal wealth. That kind of money buys real, world-dominating power. We, the American taxpayers, will be digging out for the next 50 years. That means unimaginable economic destruction - middle class Americans turned into paupers, standing in line for government assistance, unable to care for themselves. Which is precisely where Barack Obama wants us: dependent on government for everything, begging him for a crust of bread. There is a good reason Obama wants to make sure Americans can’t offshore their money or hide it overseas, why he’s attempting to close loopholes in Monaco, the Cayman Islands, Bermuda and the Channel Islands. Average Americans can’t have any security or savings. It would mean they have resources he can’t control. They could be in a position to defy him.

Okay, if it isn’t Soros, who could it be? America has many enemies, both inside and outside our borders. Barack Obama is not an American by the definition that most of us would think a President should be. He was born in Kenya (or Hawaii, under questionable circumstances), grew up in Indonesia and returned to the US as a teenager. His formative years were spent in Islamic schools in a foreign country. He didnt’ serve in the military. He didn’t get a regular job and struggle to pay rent and taxes. His orientation is vastly different not just from the average American, but even that of African Americans. Barack Obama probably doesn’t see himself as an American, but rather a citizen of the world. And that means his Svengali is likely outside the country. Obama is unlike Bill Clinton who, like a cheap hooker, took money from the Chinese for his reelection bid and opened up American markets to Chinese goods imported by WalMart (headquartered in Arkansas, surprise!). No, Obama isn’t conducting a transaction for a quick buck like Clinton had.  The stakes are much bigger and the game is being played for all the marbles. If Obama and whoever runs his teleprompter succeed, America will be destroyed. The list of potential Svengali’s is quite small, actually. Stay tuned for regular installments on the hunt for Barack’s brain.
