Our Domestic War is Now

Intentional destruction, attempted totalitarianism, war –not a prediction, but a present reality

What is about to happen in America?

Glenn Beck has spoken of it: War

Gerald Celente of Trends Research Institute warns it will come within months: War

Igor Panarin, Russian political scientist and Professor of the Russian Diplomatic Academy Ministry of Foreign Affairs, predicts his version: War

George Potts Thompson in Canada Free Press, says: War

Nancy Matthis and Austin Davis in American Daughter have just said: War

A Christian voice, with an apparent gift of prophecy said, last May: War

As you may know through this venue, in Investigating Obama and on net-radio’s The Awakening, our compatriots and I have had something to say about this, for some time now.

The strategy and tactics of war are being waged upon America by the Soros/Obama/Pelosi Marxofascist insurgency and whatever powers behind them, of Marxist and fascist nations and financiers. America — authentic, constitutional America and the Americans true to it have simply not been fighting back by all necessary means.

But, America is awakening.

Please tell those you know, about the Marxists/fascists in power, in Washington. Please tell them about Oath Keepers.

Be prepared for even the potential of a massive false-flag attack of terrorism in America, carried out by the treason of this regime, but blamed upon “right wing extremists” and “the militia movement” in America, as an attempt by these Marxists, to swing our military and law enforcement community, and our populace to their evil side.

Will such a thing happen? Who can say? But, of one thing we may be assured. The more Americans repent of our insolence and iniquities, the more we humble ourselves in fervent prayer by means of our Savior, the more we inform our Citizenry about the domestic war against America, and the more we band together to oppose this treason — the more harm we, and those who come after us, may be spared.

How to Create a Crisis and Steal a Nation

I humbly but emphatically recommend this insider account of just how the Alinsky and Cloward-Piven curses upon society have yielded bitter fruit for America — in the welfare crisis, the current finance crisis, and in the coming federal spending catastrophe. It may seem a long story for a blog, but it is of imperative value, for understanding how our proud nation is about to be brought to its knees.

by Sam Sewell, The Steady Drip blog

Note: It will quickly be obvious to the reader why details have been obscured, omitted or fictionalized in this narrative of events that began nearly forty years ago.

Se non è vero, è ben trovato.

Even small children know how to get what they want by creating a crisis. Witness any “temper tantrum.” My wife and I teach parenting skills. One of our sayings which we recommend to parents when dealing with a child’s “crisis strategy” is: “Poor planning on your part does not constitute a crisis on my part. No, you can’t borrow $20 because you are broke, even if you did promise to take Betty Lou to the movies tonight.” The child did not get their way. A similar “No!” needs to be said to adult politicians who have created a crisis to get their way.

Another example; Paris taxi-drivers, in protest against a police demand that they take physical examinations, threatened to obey every traffic law to the letter—which would, they vowed, produce the greatest traffic jam Paris had ever seen. The Taxi drivers got their way.

Creating a crisis to get one’s way is a strategy as old as Moses calling down plagues upon Pharaoh and saying “Let my people go.”

To better understand the fascinating story below we need some background information. In the late 1960s a pair of college professors who thought they were original thinkers came up with something called the Cloward-Piven Strategy (CPS), a strategy for forcing political change through orchestrated crisis. “Cloward-Piven’s early promoters cited Chicago radical community organizer Saul Alinsky as their inspiration.”Make the enemy live up to their (sic) own book of rules,” Alinsky wrote in his 1989 book, Rules for Radicals. When pressed to honor every word of every law and statute, every Judaeo-Christian moral tenet, and every implicit promise of the liberal social contract, human agencies inevitably fall short. The system’s failure to “live up” to its rule book can then be used to discredit it altogether, and to replace the capitalist “rule book” with a socialist one.” Notice that Alinski might have heard about the Paris taxi drivers, and then gave their strategy a radical left twist.

Saul had a huge influence on radical left people of the day. Saul was the subject of Hillary Clinton’s senior honors thesis at Wellesley College. “In early 1993, the White House requested that Wellesley not release the thesis to anyone. Wellesley complied, instituting a new rule that closed access to the thesis of any sitting U.S. president or first lady, a rule that in practice applied only to Rodham.” Alinski also strongly influenced a young Chicago “community organizer” named Barack Obama.

An old friend from my spooky past recently reminded me of his adventures back in the early 1970s. If you did not know that clergy are used for Intelligence and undercover missions you haven’t been paying attention to history. Believe it or not these decades old events, told by The Rev. Big Goon, help explain our present political and economic crisis.

Dear Aristotle the Hun

I’ve been doing some thinking that I thought I would share with you. My memories of the work I was doing when we knew each other at UMKC have really helped inform me about our present situation with our new President and the financial crisis.

I have visited “The Steady Drip” many times and I know your reputation for accurate research so you will find citations included to back up what I have to say. I noticed that on your blog you have expressed suspicions about the onset of the financial meltdown just in time to help Obama get elected. You also expressed suspicions about the most liberal President and Congress in the history of the nation conveniently coming into office at a time when the economy was so wounded that it might be possible to establish a socialist economic system. Just how “lucky” can these liberals get?

What I have to say may help you understand the dynamics but I doubt it will do away with your suspicions. Being suspicious is a job requirement for both Clergy and Intelligence work. I also know you are well connected to the Internet community and influential bloggers so you have my permission to use my comments as you see fit.

Here is my story: I arrived in Kansas City, Mo. in May of 1970, shortly after the first bombing done by a group of left wing radicals. I worked for the Western Diocese of the Episcopal Church which sponsored the St. Thomas Student Center at UMKC. Naming an Episcopal student center after “Doubting Thomas” was glaringly appropriate for a college campus in the early 70s No, your readers can not ask about my real employer. (As the old joke goes; “If I told you I would have to kill you.”)

The summer of 1970 in Kansas City was a really wild ride. In 1970 alone, an estimated 3,000 bombings and 50,000 bomb threats occurred in the United States, and Kansas City was not left out of the chaos. One of my assignments was to look into the activities of a group of radicals who, after they were arrested, became melodramatically known as “the Kansas City Four.” They were really bungling, small time radicals. A legal case from those days survives on the Internet.

It was arranged for the FBI to contact known radicals in the community and ask them questions about me. My “case officer” posed as a state employee, so my monthly meetings with him were open and aroused no suspicion. I was warmly accepted by the radical community, and even spent some time living at a place operated by young radicals called the Ecstatic Umbrella, until I found more permanent housing.

The Second Presbyterian Church at 52nd and Oak owned an apartment building, and one of the Kansas City bombers lived in that building. As well as doing my job as a campus chaplain, I became a youth pastor at Second Presbyterian, and took an apartment in their building. I must admit that I was very uncomfortable living in the same building with a LSD using, grass smoking, alcoholic who I knew was making bombs in his bedroom.

By the time I entered UMKC in the fall as a graduate student, my cover was already firmly established. To put a cinch knot on my cover story, I also became the Chaplain of the Viet Nam Veterans Against the War. I still experience a gratifying chuckle over how perfectly, easily, and quickly I had infiltrated the radical community in KC. It wasn’t that hard. Almost everyone was doing acid and grass. Every weekend there was a wild carnival of hippy, stoner, radical, love-child young people in Volker Park. Contact was easy. I won my status in the counter-culture community with nothing more than a prank. I purchased a case of dish washing liquid, and in the dark of night I poured the entire case into the Plaza fountain. My accomplices were very impressed with my boldness and it made the front page of the Kansas City Star.

I had a different name then. I was called Rev. Big Goon. It should be noted here that I physically resemble a great silver back gorilla, although my knuckles don’t drag on the ground. A local Kansas City undercover officer who had no idea who I was gave me that name. I saw it in a police report on activity in Volker Park. Years later I found out that my cover was so believable that I was on a list of dangerous radicals that Kansas City Chief of Police Clarence Kelly took with him when he was appointed as the Director of the FBI in 1973.

For me, the investigation of the Kansas City Four quickly fizzled. Other investigators uncovered the activities of the suspects, provided the evidence and they were arraigned in July of 1971. My last contact with that case was to arrange to be appointed as a Chaplain for the Jackson County jail, where I interviewed one of the suspects who was being held there as a federal prisoner awaiting trial.

The case was hugely overblown, in the way law enforcement and prosecutors will exaggerate to make their work seem to be more important and to advance their careers. One of them was more of a nut case than a criminal and he might have been the most dangerous because of his hatred and violence against “the system”. He is still alive, on the streets, and probably still dangerous.

I struck up a romantic involvement with a social worker from Chicago who was working for Family and Children’s Services, a state of Missouri agency. Her friends and contacts were a gold mine for my new mission. That is how I became involved with the Welfare Rights Organization (WRO) of Kansas City where I saw, first hand, how community activists applied the CPS theory in real life.

CPS and Saul Alinski were all the rage among left wing professors, activists, students and social workers. My social worker girl friend from Chicago knew all about Saul Alinski. CPS was a new idea seen as dazzlingly brilliant by social workers and other liberals. She introduced me to a radical community activist, also from Chicago, who was organizing poor black people who lived in Wayne Minor public housing. His name was Mark. Mark was also a clergyman. Mark introduced me to a powerfully charismatic black woman who was Executive Director of the Kansas City Welfare Rights Organization. There were several young white men and women who worked for the WRO. Mark taught me the ropes about how we were going to train these young “community organizers” and welfare recipients, so that they became effective foot soldiers for the left wing.

The socialist professors who devised the CPS: “The authors (Columbia University sociologists Richard Andrew Cloward and Frances Fox Piven) noted that the number of Americans subsisting on welfare — about 8 million, at the time — probably represented less than half the number who were technically eligible for full benefits. They proposed a “massive drive to recruit the poor onto the welfare rolls.” Cloward and Piven calculated that persuading even a fraction of potential welfare recipients to demand their entitlements would bankrupt the system. The result, they predicted, would be “a profound financial and political crisis” that would unleash “powerful forces … for major economic reform at the national level.” Their article called for “cadres of aggressive organizers” to use “demonstrations to create a climate of militancy.” Intimidated by threats of black violence, politicians would appeal to the federal government for help. Carefully orchestrated media campaigns, carried out by friendly, leftwing journalists, would float the idea of “a federal program of income redistribution,” in the form of a guaranteed living income for all — working and non-working people alike. Local officials would clutch at this idea like drowning men to a lifeline. They would apply pressure on Washington to implement it. With every major city erupting into chaos, Washington would have to act.”

Mark and I were part of that “cadres of aggressive organizers.” We would go through the vast, dilapidated cavern of poverty called Wayne Minor with a list of all the entitlements offered by the State of Missouri. Each person we talked to became instantly “motivated” to apply for more welfare benefits. Before long, people began seeking us out at the WRO office. Outreach to the community wasn’t necessary. The community flocked to us. We would show them how to fill out application forms, and many times we filled out the forms for them.

When we had a large number of people ready to apply for new benefits, or additional benefits they had not known they were entitled to before our training, we arranged for busses to take our new recruits to the state office building. We had spent many hours training them as to what to do and what not to do. We told them it was ok to be loud, obnoxious, aggressive, but to never be physical or damage property. In other words, do everything you can do to be uncivil, but don’t get yourself arrested. We planned the event for a Friday and, of course, we called the media. Our “trainees” staged a class “A” media event for the television cameras. Our first “action” was a rousing success.

When we got to the WRO office Monday morning there were hundreds of people waiting to be “trained” in how to collect welfare. The part of the welfare system to feel the most heat right away was what the state called “intake.” Intake social workers were overwhelmed, intimidated, and routinely approved questionable benefits because of the stress they were experiencing. The state began a panicky search for new intake workers, and anybody with a BA degree was practically dragged off the street. Larger office space was arranged for the intake department. Mark and I were heroes to the radical community.

Since this was happening at the same time in St. Louis and other cities, Kitt Bond, then Auditor of State of Missouri, and soon-to-become Governor, asked for help. I was assigned to brief his representative about what was behind the welfare revolt.

As it turns out Mark, the community organizer from Chicago, and my social worker girl friend from Chicago were also friends with the Kansas City Four. Soon my primary mission was accomplished, and I went on to other projects, but I never forgot the effectiveness of creating a crisis to bring about radical change. I concluded that the WRO and the Alinski/CPS inspired radical community organizers were more of a danger to the nation than the Laurel and Hardy bombers.

I stopped doing Intelligence work, the years went by, and I began my career as a full time Pastor. Not long after I “went straight” I again ran into the CPS and Saul Alinsky. During the administration of George H. W. Bush I began hearing reports of loud, obnoxious, aggressive, poor people taking over bank lobbies and demanding that they be given mortgages. All this was happening because community activists, many from Chicago, were doing the same thing to banks that had been done to the state welfare offices back in Kansas City. The role of WRO was now filled by ACORN (Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now).

Stan Kurtz of National Review comments on ACORN’S tactics. “While ACORN holds to NWRO’s radical economic framework and its confrontational 1960’s-style tactics, the targets and strategy have changed. ACORN prefers to fly under the national radar, organizing locally in liberal urban areas — where, Stern observes, (Sol Stern ACORN’s Nutty Regime for Cities.” local legislators and reporters are often “slow to grasp how radical ACORN’s positions really are.” ACORN’s new goals are municipal “living wage” laws targeting “big-box” stores like Wal-Mart, rolling back welfare reform, and regulating banks — efforts styled as combating “predatory lending.” Unfortunately, instead of helping workers, ACORN’s living-wage campaigns drive businesses out of the very neighborhoods where jobs are needed most. ACORN’s opposition to welfare reform only threatens to worsen the self-reinforcing cycle of urban poverty and family breakdown. Perhaps most mischievously, says Stern, ACORN uses banking regulations to pressure financial institutions into massive “donations” that it uses to finance supposedly non-partisan voter turn-out drives.”

Obama’s role as a radical community organizer and ACORN “leadership trainer” is well established. Kurtz continues: “ACORN’s tactics are famously “in your face.” Just think of Code Pink’s well-known operations (i.e. threatening to occupy congressional offices, interrupting the testimony of General David Petraeus) and you’ll get the idea. ACORN protesters have disrupted Federal Reserve hearings, but mostly deploy their aggressive tactics locally. Chicago is home to one of its strongest chapters, and ACORN has burst into a closed city council meeting there. ACORN protestors in Baltimore disrupted a bankers’ dinner and sent four busloads of profanity-screaming protestors against the mayor’s home, terrifying his wife and kids. Even a Baltimore city council member who generally supports ACORN said their intimidation tactics had crossed the line.”

It wouldn’t take a degree in economics to see what was going to happen. This time the Alinski/CPS pressure wasn’t aimed at the state of Missouri and Kitt Bond. By 1999 Fannie Mae came under pressure from the Clinton administration to expand mortgage loans to low and moderate income borrowers. At the same time, institutions in the primary mortgage market pressed Fannie Mae to ease credit requirements on the mortgages it was willing to purchase, enabling them to make loans to subprime borrowers at interest rates higher than conventional loans. Everybody knows how the problem escalated from there

Do you still have doubts about your suspicions that the financial crisis happened just in time to help Obama get elected? Do you still have doubts about your suspicions that there is something fishy about the financial crisis and the way Congress passed the trillion dollar “Reward Liberal Causes and Constituents Bill” without anyone actually reading it, because we had a “crisis”? See I told you that I wouldn’t be able to help your suspicious nature. J

The Rev. Big Goon

To emphasize Rev. Big Goon’s comments here is an absolutely brilliant piece by Jim Simpson that details the connection of Barack Obama to those who practice the Cloward-Piven strategy.
“Barack Obama and the Strategy of Manufactured Crisis”

After reading Jim Simpson’s article you will more fully understand how CPS is connected to Barack Obama, and why Obama keeps using the word “crisis” in every speech he gives. I don’t know how to escape the conclusion that manufactured crisis is what clobbered the economy. Manufactured crisis is what made Obama President, and manufactured crisis is what drives his administration and his policies. There is a web site entitled, “Things I know are true but can’t prove”. Maybe I should send them an email.

Here is a part of the puzzle I think others have missed.

If an enemy of America were to pair the Cloward-Piven strategy to the principles of the new science of networks, it would be possible to target a hub in a system, create a crisis, and by causing that hub to fail, create a domino effect in other hubs and the rest of the system. See here:
A news release from UMass Amherst
and
Doug Simpson’s weblog of research on the collision of law, networks and disruptive technologies
And a link to the most popular book on the subject Six Degrees: The Science of a Connected Age by Duncan Watts

“Columbia Professor Duncan J. Watts builds on the work of mathematicians, physicists, biologists, sociologists, economists and others to advance the new science of networks. “Six Degrees: The Science of a Connected Age ” brings a sociologist’s perspective to a field relevant to those dealing with complex systems and their robustness and fragility under stress. The science of networks has significance for those wrestling with current issues of law and public policy in a wide spectrum of applications including electric power grids, insurance markets and anti-terror measures.In 1999, Barabasi and Albert published a ground breaking paper “Emergence of Scaling in Random Networks.” Science, 286, 509-512. (1999). This paper showed that certain connections in real world networks don’t have a normal (”bell curve”) distribution but rather follow a power law distribution. This means that there is an increased likelihood of extreme events in such “scale free” networks. As a result, in scale-free networks, as networks evolve, a few nodes will be “hubs” with an extraordinary number of connections. Barabasi and Albert also found that the evolution of these hubs depended on the combination of network growth and “preferential attachment” – the tendency for new nodes to connect to those already well connected (the “rich get richer” effect.)”

The major reason other political commentators have not addressed the issue of network science is that only mathematicians and scientists understand it. My feeble attempt at a “plain speak” translation is that all networks tend to form hubs that are connected to thousands of other networks, and more importantly, to other hubs. These hubs are vulnerable to a “created crisis” and when that happens the entire web collapses, be it the World Wide Web or the web of the U.S. economy.

National security experts are well aware of the vulnerability of network hubs and publish Network Vulnerability and Risk Assessment reports. This one is researched and published by DTIC Provider of DoD Technical Information to Support The Defense Community. One of the points to note is that: “Threats that originate inside the network tend to have the ability to exploit vulnerabilities in a serial form. This allows the attacker to traverse or “leap-frog” across the network to an advantageous position”. The most likely scenario would expect the attack to come from inside the network when we are looking at the financial network. I have read this risk assessment and it is too general to connect dots as to how a financial “crisis” might be timed and executed, but it is very clear that it can happen.

We know how leftist activists created a crisis and turned the mortgage lending business into a “mortgage welfare entitlement” lending policy. We know that the hub we know as “mortgage banking” failed, bringing down the rest of the economy with it. What we don’t know is how the failure was timed.

My guess is that the science of networks was used to tilt the election in Obama’s favor and damage the economy to such an extent that reshaping it along a socialist paradigm became possible.

One of my hopes in writing this article is to encourage real network scientists to take a look at my hypothesis. One friend who is a scientist at Amherst says I am on the right track, but that isn’t enough to make a definitive statement.

Remember all that talk about how savvy the Obama campaign was about using the Internet? Remember all those Internet CEO’s who were on the Obama team? Remember that George Soros, “the man who broke the Bank of England”, the king of creating market and currency crisis, was on Obama’s team? Can you really imagine a likely scenario where these people do not know about network science and how to use a created crisis to get what they want?

We know for sure that a crisis was deliberately created with malice aforethought by enemies of our country and liberal politicians. They overtly said they would do it and they did. Many of these created events have damaged our nation since 1970. The culprits aren’t even trying to hide the fact that they did it. Decent Americans have trouble believing that people could deliberately do something so evil. That is how deliberately evil people pull the wool over the eyes of decent people.

This isn’t a conspiracy theory. No black helicopters or deep throats. It isn’t hidden and it isn’t secret. It is easily visible for those who have eyes to see. Those radical socialists who used deliberately created crisis tactics were successful beyond their expectations. I am reminded of Osama Ben Laden’s pleasant surprise when he was informed about how successful the 9/11 attack had been. I imagine Obama shares Osama’s elation over his unlikely success.

Fascist War Against America: Geithner asking for $1-Trillion More for Bank “Rescue” — The Plan: Destroy the Free American Economy

There is still time to spread the word. Please contact your U.S. representative and senators. Contact governors’ offices too, so they feel the heat. The “stimulus” bill is in conference and must again pass both houses of Congress.

You may want to send this page to your friends and family. I.O. and ally sites intend to list some of the many treacheries of this bogus “stimulus” and “bailout” funding, very soon. For now, please listen to Monday night’s “The Awakening” broadcast, including Jim Simpson, who wrote “Barack Obama and the Strategy of Manufactured Crisis.”

These Marxists/fascists do not want to stimulate the American economy. They want to destroy the American economy. They do not care how the money is spent. They want to total probably $4-Trillion of “emergency measures,” to destroy the dollar, create hyperinflation, and make the majority of Americans dependent upon the Obama state, for their livelihoods.

Call, email, fax, mail, telegram. Do it now, please, to save the American republic.

Stimulus Battle May Signal Tough Sell for Bank Rescue
By Matthew Benjamin, 2/8/2009

This is “Manufactured Crisis,” as you may have read in last election season’s revelationary article by Jim Simpson [who is interviewed in tonight's "Awakening" program, joining Philip Berg and Carmen], but that is now an understatement. It is becoming manufactured catastrophe — nationwide and worldwide. A free, American economy will not be able to survive without the dollar being driven down to the depths and all of our personal economies being hit with hyperinflation.

The global fascist manipulators (the friends of George Soros) have combined with America’s neo-Marxist (Cloward-Piven) movement, behind Barack Obama, to “go all in.” They have decided not to do this gradually. They are trying to bring America down within Obama’s (fictitious) first year of office, gambling they can bring the disaffected, destroyed, and panicked into America’s new, fascist “patronage” workforce. Add the mega-buildup of bossed union membership caused by “card-check,” and you have the proletariat masses eating out of the hands of the Fascist State of America. So is their plan.

Remember the Cloward-Piven and Saul Alinsky rules: cause “disruption” and then take advantage of people’s “self-interest” — in having a job with either the state or state controlled “private” industry.

This is a revolution against this nation right here, right now. It is stealth war and it is being waged against you and against me — massively.

This will be discussed in tonight’s “The Awakening, with Hanen & Arlen” tonight, 2/9, at 8pm ET…5pm PT. After the program, it is available via archive at the Sentinel Radio Network’s blogtalk site.

What are we going to do about it? Let us pray, plan, and do, effectively, together, the work of saving the American nation.

Please, also listen to the interview with Philip Berg in Hour 2, who is attempting to remove this fictitious “president” from office.

Are we there yet? The Islamic and Marxist Apocolypse Soon.

Mark Steyn, Jonah Goldberg and Bruce Bawer march on in the post journalistic standards wasteland of the MSM, where empirical harsh truth is a Forbidden Zone. “Brigitte Gabriel…now there was a lovely girl” says Steyn wistfully. Amazingly, this proportionately tiny band of real journalists, bloggers, writers and analysts like them, still manage to get through the toxic desert of Left Marxist Liberal lies, domination and censorship.

“The Left’s Assault on Language by Caroline Glick. Nov. 3, 2008 via the Jerusalem Post.

Extract: “THE LEFT’s co-optation of the language of law and democracy is not limited to geopolitics. It extends to issues of cultural politics as well. Take feminism for example. Education Minister Yuli Tamir fancies herself a great champion of women’s rights. She has written about feminism and the need for women to have mandated equal representation in both public and private forums.

In all of her work on behalf of women’s issues, Tamir has been clear that a society’s refusal to mandate full equality for women goes hand in hand with militarism and other violent and anti-liberal tendencies. And yet, in 1996, while a visiting professor at Harvard, Tamir authored an article defending female genital mutilation in the Arab world. In the Islamic world, girls are forced to undergo clitoridectomies to deprive them of sexual pleasure and so “preserve” their “modesty.”

The world’s MSM and ‘da people’ get a Basketball Jones for Obama.

Global Obama Love induces nausea and vomiting plus McCain retching across the aisle! And was McCain actually half Democrat?

“Gawsshhh you people are racist! thats why i dont like americans”. The now defunct Utoob account of Lillomogurl10 has no problem with the startling Cognitive Dissonance of er, not being a “racist!” AND hating a country of 300 million people of all races and religions. Go figure. Thus the teen tantrum forever Leftard Liberal…

“One of the key characteristics of wisdom is can you tell the truth about yourself. In this, Joe Biden has failed”. Victor Davis Hanson.

“Basketball Jones, I got a Basketball Jones
Got a Basketball Jones, oh baby, oo-oo-ooo
Yes, I am the victim of a Basketball Jones
Ever since I was a little baby, I always be dribblin’
In fac’, I was de baddest dribbler in the whole neighbourhood”.
Basketball Jones. Cheech and Chong.

All over the world, high level and humble people and all points between, are blathering like alcoholic street sweepers about Obama. It’s a wall to wall Basketball Jones for Obama! Yes the man who “when he ran for state Senator in 1996…threw out thousands of black signatures”, so that the other candidates running were disqualified, leaving only Obama. When asked about it he said “but they got a good Senator!” Yep, me, me, me, me, Obama. Check and nuance.

No but really. I heard an ABC guy say something that encapsulates so much of the taken for granted conceits of the MSM. Without any irony or self reflection he said something along the lines of “There was a nine page spread in the new York Times on why Obama was so successful…” Quite.

I’ve seen overwhelmingly how most of the MSM cannot be trusted at all. Especially with the MSM in Australia, expect nothing and you’ll never be disappointed. One thing they do give me though, is a clear picture that I’m better than plenty of ‘em, and Hell, I’m just a blogger! But then they are the old media and as Mark Steyn said “they would rather die than write”.

Drain the emotion form it and the whole thing is one vast Marxist joke. … Continue reading on Colonel Robert Neville Always Dresses for Dinner >>

Obama supporters only 50 percent less racist than KKK.

You wouldn’t read about it.

[Dear sports, I dedicate todays feeble effort to the greatest and most swingin', hip, black Republican, Conservative Christian, martial artist, musician, comedian and thinker, on Utoob. No, really. Alfonso Rachel AKA machosauceproductions. Click on the links. They're nearly all machosauced!]

A report released today to coincide with the election of Barack Obama as precedent, shows that Obama supporters are only half as tolerant or even Liberal as they believe.

“By default, all Democrat voters voted for a white man as much as they did for a black man” said Milo Filofax, the Director of a study titled ‘Obama: The Auditing of Soap’. The reports findings may cause some concern among white Obama voters, not only among those that hate other white people, but especially those that hate themselves.

Even with regular Starbucks breaks, being patronising to minorities is demanding both physically and time-wise, sometimes taking up whole afternoons of chanting meaningless slogans that cost nothing. This doesn’t include the long journey from bohemian areas to welfare and crime plagued urban sprawl, and then back again to better neighbourhoods.

Naturally, to discover that all the years of posturing have been a delusion or even worse, an utter fraud, could prove emotionally devastating”, said Milo.

“After such an epiphany, ones sense of moral vanity and Cognitive Dissonance could be so shattered, so thoroughly discredited by useless facts, that one may never recover, incapable of wearing a Che the child killer t-shirt in an affluent and free democracy again”, added Filofax.

“What’s more, it would be crushing for anyone honestly curious, to learn that after the Civil War, which was declared and fought by Abraham Lincoln the Republican, it was actually the Democratic Party who founded the KKK to stop the efforts of the Republican abolitionists…Continue reading on Colonel Robert Neville Always Dresses for Dinner >>

Obama’s Marxist Roots Found in Liberation Theology

One of the most read articles published by Faultline USA this past year is Obama’s Marxist Liberation Theology Church, which is being republished today here in its entirety.

Faultline USA was on the forefront of the successful battle to move the Brite Divinity School Jeremiah Wright award ceremony from the Campus of Texas Christian University back in March. Faultline USA has written several extensive articles about Jeremiah Wright, which can be found by using the Google Faultline USA search box in the right side-bar.

 Obama’s Marxist Liberation Theology Church

The best lie is a little pig that’s always hidden between several fluffy layers of truth and covered with a lot of lipstick and charisma.

This is a follow-up to yesterday’s article originally posted on Right Truth and here “What Obama’s Church Preaches”

Note: This article isn’t so much about religion as it is about the politics of political revolution as fomented in all Liberation Theology churches.

 

Read also the post by Church and State: Obama’s Pastor Embarrasses Entire Congregation. Be sure to View the video where “Rev. Dr. Jeremiah Wright, Barak Obama’s pastor, went on Hannity & Colmes last night to respond to claims that his church is a black separatist congregation.”

Obama’s pastor, Rev. Dr. Jeremiah Wright, continued to evade Hannity while he hammered away asking again and agin if Hannity had ever read James H. Cone, one of the primary authors of Black Liberation Theology.

Oddly enough, I just happen to have several of Cone’s works on hand. Here’s just a little from Cone’s classic book A Black Theology of Liberation (Twentieth Anniversary Edition):

Emphasis added by me:

The definition of Jesus as black is crucial for christology if we truly believer in his continued presence today. Taking our clue from the historical Jesus who is pictured in the New Testament as the Oppressed One, what else, except blackness, could adequately tell us the meaning of his presence today? Any statement about Jesus today that fails to consider blackness as the decisive factor about his person is a denial of the New Testament message. The life, death, and resurrection of Jesus reveal that he is the man for others, disclosing to them what is necessary for their liberation from oppression. If this is true, then Jesus Christ must be black so that blacks can know that their liberation is his liberation. . .

The black Christ is he who threatens the structure of evil as seen in white society, rebelling against it, thereby becoming the embodiment of what the black community knows that it must become. . .

To be a disciple of the black Christ is to become black with him. Looting, burning, or the destruction of white property are not primary concerns. Such matters can only be decided by the oppressed themselves who are seeking to develop their images of the black Christ. . .

Whites do not recognize what is happening, and they are thus unable to deal with it. For most whites in power, the black community is a nuisance –something to be considered only when the natives get restless. But what white America fails to realize is the explosive nature of the kingdom. Although its beginning is small, it will have far-reaching effects not only on the black community but on the white community as well. Now is the time to make decisions about loyalties, because soon it will be too late. Shall we or shall we not join the black revolutionary kingdom?

An excellent overview of the grave dangers of Liberation Theology was written in 1984 by Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger (Pope Benedict XVI).

Here are some of the important points Ratzinger makes about Liberation Theology:

1. Liberation Theology has it center of power in Latin America and in African Theology, but is found in many Christian denominations throughout the Third World.
2. Liberation Theology is a new interpretation of Christian reality.
3. Liberation Theology is radically Marxist. “ . . .the world must be interpreted in terms of the class struggle and that the only choice is between capitalism and Marxism.”
4. Liberation Theology thrives on perpetuating class struggle. The only people of the Church are those who participate in class struggle.
5. Liberation Theology is a theology of bloody political revolution. All of Christian reality is reduced to politico-social liberation praxis (action).
6. Liberation Theology rejects traditional scriptural interpretations. “The experience of the “community” determines the understanding and the interpretation of Scripture. . . Ultimately, what is normative for interpretation is not historical research but the hermeneutic of history experienced in the community or the political group.”
7. Liberation Theology makes the Bible subject to a Marxist view of history. “The “historicality” of the Bible must justify its absolute dominance and thus legitimize the’ transition to materialist-marxist philosophy, in which history has taken over the role of God. . . historical criticism has loosed Scripture from the traditional interpretation, which now appears to be unscientific.
8. Liberation Theology is a threat to the faith of the Christian Church.

Here Ratzinger analyzes some of the central concepts of Liberation Theology:

Faith: Jesus’ experience of God is radically historical. “His faith is transformed into fidelity.” Thus faith is fundamentally replaced by “fidelity to history”. . .

Hope is interpreted as “confidence in the.future” and as working for the future and thus is subordinated once more to the history of class conflict. . .

Love consists in the “option for the poor”; i.e., it coincides with opting for the class struggle. . .

Kingdom of God: “ . .the Kingdom must not be understood in a spiritualist or universalist manner, not in the sense of an abstract eschatological eventuality. It must be understood in partisan terms and with a view to praxis. The meaning of the Kingdom can only be defined by reference to the praxis of Jesus, not theoretically: it means working at the historical reality that surrounds us in order to transform it into the Kingdom.”

Overcoming Dualism “Here we must mention another basic idea of a particular post­conciliar theology which has led in this direction. People said that after the Council every dualism must be overcome: the dualism of body and soul, of natural and supernatural, of this world and the world beyond, of then and now. Once these supposed dualisms had been eliminated, it only remained to work for a kingdom to be realized in present history and in politico­economic reality. This meant, however, that one had ceased to work for the benefit of people in this present time and had begun to destroy the present in the interests of a supposed future: thus the real dualism had broken loose.”

Note: The above explanation of overcoming dualism certainly gives us some insight into the suicidal nature of leftist thought!

Death and Resurrection: “ . . . Man has taken over God’s gesture — this manifests the whole transformation of the biblical message in an almost tragic way . . .”

Eucharist is interpreted as a celebration of liberation in the sense of politico-messianic hope and praxis.

The word redemption is largely replaced by liberation, which is seen, against the background of history and the class struggle, as a process of progressive liberation.

Action is truth “. . . The only true orthodoxy is therefore orthopraxy.”

Ratzinger’s Summary

In trying to arrive at an overall evaluation it must be said that, if one accepts the fundamental assumptions which underlie liberation theology, it cannot be denied that the whole edifice has an almost irresistible logic. By adopting the position of biblical criticism and of a hermeneutics that grows through experience, on the one hand, and of the marxist analysis of history, on the other, liberation theologians have succeeded in creating a total picture of the Christian reality, and this total view seems to respond fully both to the claims of science and to the moral challenges of our time, urging people to make Christianity an instrument of concrete world transformation; it seems to have united Christianity, in this way, with all the “progressive forces” of our era. One can understand, therefore, that this new interpretation of Christianity should have exercised an increasing fascination over theologians, priests and religious, particularly against the background of Third World problems. To say “no” to it must seem to them to be a flight from reality as well as a denial of reason and morality. On the other hand, if one considers how radical this reinterpretation of Christianity is, it is all the more pressing to find the right answer to the challenge which it presents. We shall only survive this crisis if we succeed in making the logic of faith visible in an equally compelling manner and in presenting it as a logic of reality, i.e., manifesting the concrete force of a better answer attested in lived experience. Since it is so, since thought and experience, interpretation and realization, are equally called for, it is a task for the whole Church. Theology alone is insufficient, Church authority alone is insufficient. Since the phenomenon of liberation theology indicates a lack of conversion in the Church, a lack of radical faith, only an increase in conversion and faith can arouse and elicit those theological insights and those decisions on the part of the shepherds which will give an answer to the magnitude of the question.

A tertiary case of a “Generation Why?” Junior Marxist.

Colonel Neville: Dears DSKU and chums, “lol”. Yes, you seem to do that a lot. Hysteria? Ain’t cha’ blog? Really. Hilarious.

The blogs “not academic?” Oh, contraire. It’s entirely so academic. Standard Left bunkum by eternally tenured boobs sodden with Marxist critical theory and you know it. I mean, what the Hell does “essentialise” mean exactly? I mean to the sane and sincere?

Does DSKU stand for Does Suck Koran Up? Or Digs Socialist Killer University? Doesn’t Sense Kilimanjaro Up Ass? No, no A. Hey I bet you get A’s for your papers on how the West, “BushHitler” and Israel are evil though, eh?

Let’s be honest shall we? Hmmmm?
