The next Civil War will come after Obama's staged "assassination".

[Michael K.]

This past year in 2012, the mass media in America has produced a record number of new movies and television shows portraying the life of Abraham Lincoln in both fictional and documentary stories, the variety and extent of which is something of a phenomenon itself.  Why this sudden pre-occupation with America's Civil War President?  

Another striking angle of this sudden phenomenon is the number of ways in which Obama is simultaneously being compared to, and presented as today's Lincoln.  Is it actually meant to beg the question 'why'?  


Two out of three of these men were assassinated, the parallels being drawn are obvious and foreshadow what they have planned.

Lincoln and M.L. King watch over Barack Obama's inauguration
By David Horsey

The spirits of two great men, Abraham Lincoln and Martin Luther King, Jr., stood watch over the West Front of the United States Capitol on Monday as Barack Obama took the oath to serve a second term as president with his left hand placed on two Bibles -- one Lincoln's and one King's.

The event not only fell on the King holiday and 50 years after King's "I Have a Dream" speech, but also came within days of the 150thanniversary of Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation. Without the revolutionary changes for which Lincoln and King were martyred, Barack Obama's presidency would not be possible. This was abundantly apparent four years ago when he became the nation's first African American chief executive, but it seems no less remarkable and significant the second time around.

In part, this is due to the context in which he starts his next four years in the White House. Amid ongoing events related to the Civil War sesquicentennial and with the huge popularity of Stephen Spielberg's movie "Lincoln," slavery and the 16thpresident are prominent in the public consciousness. Talk of secession and states' rights among those most unhappy with Obama's reelection has also been a reminder that the issues that divided America in the 1860s have not been fully resolved.

The residue of the racism that once justified slavery is still evident. There is no doubt that Obama would not be such a hugely controversial and maligned figure in some political circles and in certain parts of the country if he were white. The good news is that the beast of racial bias is cornered and dying. Obama's reelection is proof of that and, perhaps, that is why the second inauguration of the man seems to be as important a marker of our progress away from slavery, Jim Crow and bigotry as was his first. The first time might have been a fluke; the second time is evidence of real change.

That's the dialectical materialist approach: for a psychological handler to present a subject with two dissonant (clashing) ideas and pressure them  subconsciously to imagine the synthesis of the two, which is then meant to be experienced consciously by the subject as though it were one's own discovery of a greater truth.  

And thus we have these synthetic archetypes circulating in the collective American mind, as viewed through the mass media.  


Abarak Obamcoln = Eh Barak, go bomb kin.    



Abe Lincama = A bling Commah'.


Whatever forces are pushing the subconscious synthesis of Lincoln and Obama as a unified cultural icon, the truth is that the two men almost can't be compared at all.  For example, Lincoln, who was not from the city, when he spoke used the word "nigger" somewhat differently than Obama does.  

The only object of this media game is to fraudulently insinuate that there exists a valid precedent, in American history, for all of the executive power that this government is arrogating to itself falsely, in the name of a supposedly humanitarian and liberal ethic.

Neo-Confederates in Congress resist a rapidly changing world




By David Horsey

January 15, 2013, 5:00 a.m.

Revolutionary changes are coming at us at supersonic speed, bringing new challenges that are existential and global. Yet our political system seems incapable of adapting to, or even fully acknowledging, those changes. Instead, the system is constricted by ideas and attitudes better suited to the 19th century.

In the current issue of Vanity Fair, Todd Purdum equates the current era with the decades before and after 1500 during which the New World was discovered and explored, trade became a global enterprise, the Reformation broke the religious monopoly of the Roman Catholic Church, the feudal system gave way to nation states and movable type and the printing press created the first form of mass communication.

The introduction to Purdum's column sums up his thesis: "Not in 500 years has the world seen such revolutionary change as it is now witnessing: the Internet, genetic engineering, mass migration, climate change, worldwide economic dislocation, a new global elite, and more." Then comes this kicker: "Yet our leaders don't seem to take any of it seriously."

Well, a few of our leaders do. But our political system does not, in general, reward politicians who bust up our comfortable myths by acknowledging, as Abraham Lincoln did, that "we must think anew and act anew" in order to save our country. The reactionaries of Lincoln's day did not see him as a visionary who would lead the country on a more enlightened path. They saw him as a dangerous radical and, to preserve the rotten, wicked, entrenched old system, they drove the country into civil war.

Today, there are quite a few very vocal neo-Confederates who think gun rights, states rights, the protection of white American culture and elimination of "excessive" taxation on the rich are the nation's preeminent concerns. Their antebellum mindset makes it impossible for them to accept scientific reality -- climate change, evolution, the true age of the planet -- and political reality -- America is becoming a more diverse, tolerant nation that does not share their fear-driven philosophy.

One of our two great political parties has been captured by the neo-Confederates and, because so many of them have been elected to Congress, the political system is gridlocked. Big problems are either ignored -- climate change, deterioration of infrastructure, the toxic greed in the financial system -- or kicked down the road to be fixed another day.

As bad as things are, though, governmental paralysis created by reactionary resistance to change is not unique in our history. For most of the first century of the republic a final resolution to the slavery issue was kicked down the road over and over. Lincoln and the Union army finally forced the necessary realignment.

In the Gilded Age, the political power of the robber barons sustained a system of exploitation until Theodore Roosevelt and the Progressives upset the political balance.

It took the Great Depression to bring low the titans of finance and their toadies in Congress and raise up Franklin D. Roosevelt and the New Deal.

Racial apartheid in the American South was propped up by politicians who gave way only after years of struggle created a new awareness in the country and allowed Lyndon B. Johnson to make racial justice the law of the land.

Change is constant but our political system always lags behind until the force of change is too great to resist. The fact that those who are now clinging to the past have become so rigid, desperate and shrill is a strong indication that a big leap is drawing close. We have not found our Abe or Teddy or FDR or LBJ, as yet. Barack Obama is more a manifestation of a changing America than he is the agent of a revolutionary shift. But when the shift comes, leaders will rise to the moment and history will call them great.

That is a hopeful thought at a dismal moment in our democracy.

I just figured it out last night, I think that SH is a dress rehearsal to set the stage for an Obama staged "assassination." And that will start a civil war, as the race riots following such an event will undoubtedly make the LA riots look tame. It seems likely that there will be an alleged "Sandy Hook conspiracy theorist / 2nd Amendment fanatic" who will be the alleged shooter.

Virtuous brown people will want to smash the evil white man with his guns. A dragnet with sealed warrants is probably being prepared "in the event" that something like that happens, which will be used to round up "Sandy Hook conspiracy theorists" as traitors. That's why some people in the know won't touch it with a ten foot pole, if you know whom I mean. Be warned.




Looking Forward:

Jews targeted in their homes and synagogues, as White militias go on the rampage.

March 22, 2016

ATLANTA- Authorities are reporting that the militias called up by the Governor of Georgia in the wake of the civil unrest which started after President Obama's tragic assassination, have turned to Anti-Semitic violence to express their irrational rage, as the world they once knew and controlled is steadily slipping from their grasp.  The Prime Minister of Israel was quoted today as saying, "this is no longer an American issue, this is an international one."  Meanwhile Russia's Premiere offered military assistance in the form of UN peacekeeping troops to the besieged Biden administration, whose main battle troops are already committed to the war in the Middle East, stating that "history is repeating itself, and this time we can not afford to wait as we once did while six-million innocent Jews were murdered by Hitler and the Nazis.

Interesting, thanks.

[memory hole]

Well we are certainly due another president assassination, whats left to pull by these maniacs, only an president going down will shock  in today's world. Good post, and I agree it's certainly a possibility. Surely that would start some kind of race war and then Kambam.......F.E.M.A camps go live.

That would be the only way to get Americans to rise up I bet.

[barista.brian]

Not trying to be disrespectful, really, but it's bullshit like this (possible "assassination" that—to some, at the time—*seemed* viable) that makes the average (spelled "N-O-T C-R-A-Z-Y") person laugh out loud. Maybe ideas like this would make for a great movie or book.

It's called FICTION.

Next?
