The Self Annoited

OK, let’s assume for the sake of argument that Barrack Obama is not a disciple of Satan, the Anti-Christ, or even Satan himself manifest as a man. Rather that he is a misguided, self deluding narcissist who believes he can rule the world by converting the last bastion of capitalism to socialism and form a world government of united socialist nations of which he would be king. Under what circumstance could this be accomplished and what steps would be needed to wrestle the freedoms from the American people without causing a major revolt?

It would require a majority of the nation to be unaware of history so they would not recognize the socialist character of his plans and would not be aware of the devastating consequences that socialism and communism have on the freedoms of the people the enslave. Well, I guess the government control of our schools has pretty much accomplished that (if you don’t think so, just ask anyone less that 30 years old to explain the differences between free market capitalism, socialism, and communism and give an real world example of countries of each type).

Since not everyone will have been left illiterate by the public schools, he would need nearly complete control of the news that is reported to the population in general. Much would need to be accomplished in secret, and the contradictions between truth and the agenda would have to be quelled. Communist, Fascist and Socialist leaders ALWAYS maintain tight control over the media to minimize opposing views and keep the people informed of news favorable to the regime. A country founded on independence and freedom would have many who would seek the truth regardless of what they are told, and this threat must be neutralized. I doubt anyone who paid the slightest attention to the election coverage or the ongoing gushing adulation of our news media wouldn’t come to the conclusion that no work is required as far as television is concerned.

But then there’s that pesky problem of conservative talk radio. Having a large following, it will become a problem as the more radical parts of the plan are enacted into law. There will be a need to silence them early in the timetable to prevent the possibility of the people rising up against the plan before it is complete. And of course, disarming the public at large will be quite necessary. The American people have more weapons and ammunition than the US military. If the truth was accidentally released, and the people decided to organize against it, the government could loose control very quickly.

Then, he would need a situation where the once fiercely independent Americans would not fight back against the imposition of government control over their lives and free speech. The earlier global warming “crisis” seemed to be one that would fit the bill, but its acceptance took too long, and by the time it really began to gain momentum; too many people had realized it was a hoax. It still garnered a fair amount of support, but something more frightening and harder to refute would be required. Enter Barney Frank and Freddie and Fanny and the housing crisis. Bringing the economy to its knees both here and abroad, this crisis would have the most independent looking for a savior.

May God save us from this savior.
