<p>At some point one has to decide if their time is being used most effectively. Two blogs and a website just takes too much of my time.</p>
<p>Many of the over 2300 post on this Blog are about politics and the belief in man caused climate change. The 2008 election is now over and Americans proved that they are demented delusional or dumb by the choices that they made. Liberal humanistic socialists who cause most of the problems in this nation will now finish the destruction of this nation by making America conform to the global governance of the godless socialist elite.</p>
<p>Of course the astute know that we were not given any real choice in the elections, we seldom are. The elections are mostly a sham. The field of prospective candidates are manipulated by the controlled media so that people pick the choice of the elite. <strong>No matter who you elect you get the same elitist socialist globalist Council on Foreign relations (CFR) agenda</strong>. You can see that by just looking at the CFR membership found at the top echelons of each administration. The Congress is totally controlled by the money of special interest groups. The system is now so corrupt that it is almost impossible to get an incumbent out of office. Frankly, we no longer have a representative constitutional government of the people, by the people and for the people. I guess you can read the topical posts here if you really want to know more information.</p>
<p>Despite plenty of scientific proof to the contrary (which can be found on this Blog) Americans have bought into global warming junk science hype and have been brainwashed into paying the costs of reducing beneficial CO2 gas. All this hype about carbon is about global governance, government control and the biggest backdoor tax in the history of the world, it is not about global warming at all.</p>
<p>Most Americans believe everything that they are told by the global elite that control the educational, political and media systems. There is no hope of educating people who cannot or will not think for themselves. Most Americans have become talking head parrots. They just repeat what they hear from the controlled talking heads on TV. Few people in this nation can critically think for themselves anymore they just go with the flow over the cliff.</p>
<p>This Blog will remain up as long as the search engines keep bringing people to it based on people&#8217;s key word searches on the various topics. I would think that means it will be up for at least another year. Comments are now closed.</p>
<p><strong>If you have a link up to this Blog or have it bookmarked, I hope you will change it to my above listed Blog or my website <a href="http://www.thepropheticyears.com" rel="nofollow" title="The Prophetic Years Bible prophecy and Revelation commentary" >www.thepropheticyears.com </a><br />

Americans cannot even pass a basic civics test and the people they elect are worse educated than they are. Perhaps you should have to get a minimum grade on a civics test to prove that you have some knowledge of how our system operates before a person should be allow to vote. The second article just reaffirms the dumbing down of America that explains why Americans elect fools to lead them<strong>. </strong>What does that say about our<strong> </strong>failed public education system<strong>? </strong>All Americans who cannot get a passing grade on a basic civics test and all responsible for our educational system deserve my Demented, Delusional or Dumb Club award.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=29582" rel="nofollow" >American Public Flunks Basic Civics &#8211; HUMAN EVENTS</a></strong></p>
<blockquote><p>*Fully 71 percent of Americans flunked a 33-question civic-literacy survey conducted by the Intercollegiate Studies Institute. Among 2,508 respondents ISI randomly selected, 1,791 failed this test of U.S. historical, political, and economic basics. The average score was just 49 out of 100 &#8212; a solid F. While just 2.6 percent scored Bs on this quiz,</p>
<p>*Just 49 percent of rank-and-file Americans can identify the legislature, executive, and judiciary as our three branches of government.</p>
<p>*Forty percent of college graduates have no idea that corporate profits equal revenues minus expenses. (Thus, congressional demagoguery about “windfall profits” falls on sympathetic ears.) Only 24 percent of college grads realize that the First Amendment forbids the establishment of an official U.S. religion.</p>
<p>*Amazingly enough, this sample’s 164 self-identified elected officials know even less than laymen. They averaged only 44, as the blind lead the bland. Among office holders, 30 percent did not know that the Declaration of Independence heralds “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.”</p></blockquote>
<p><a href="http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=29582" rel="nofollow" ></a></p>
<blockquote><p>“Our study raises significant questions about whether citizens who voted in this year’s landmark presidential election really understand how our system of representative democracy works,” said Dr. Richard Brake, ISI’s Director of University Stewardship.</p>
<p>Lt. General Josiah Bunting III, the chairman of ISI’s National Civic Literacy Board, describes his initial reaction to these results as “somewhat short of despair, certainly one of depression.” He adds: “These questions are designed to elicit answers to fundamental questions. A citizen should know that the president cannot declare war. A citizen should know the circumstances of the founding of the country.”</p></blockquote>
<p><a href="http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=29582" rel="nofollow" ></a></p>
<blockquote><p>The grim results of ISI’s study reveal a crisis in this nation’s defining concept. In 1776, America’s Founding Fathers broke with Britain and established a country where men and women liberated from monarchic despotism would rule themselves, provided they were equipped with the requisite knowledge and wisdom. Will a people mesmerized by the televised humiliation of wannabe pop stars maintain this essential capacity for self-government? Thomas Jefferson’s warning remains as timely as ever: “If a nation expects to be ignorant and free…it expects what never was and never will be.”</p>

<p><strong><a href="http://www.americancivicliteracy.org/resources/quiz.aspx" rel="nofollow" title="civics test" >The civics test can be found here</a></strong></p></blockquote>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=29591" rel="nofollow" >Obama-King of Fools &#8211; HUMAN EVENTS</a></strong></p>
<blockquote><p>Trying to explain how our economy works and why lowering taxes is always better for them and their country, than imposing higher taxes is an economic bridge too far for many of the Obama sheep. Unfortunately there is no &#8220;See Spot &amp; the Economy Run&#8221; book for the hooked on phonics crowd. Many of these numbskulls can&#8217;t balance a check book or spell &#8220;e-c-o-n-o-m-i-c-s&#8221; but they sure know who will give them stuff. The lie is impossible.</p>
<p>Expecting these idiotscitizens to have analyzed the tax positions of Obama and McCain and arrive at a decision that truly benefits them and America is wishful thinking. The reason is that they know zilch about how the economy operates and worse, don&#8217;t care. Bama will take care of us. Four very scary things-a sow grizzly with cubs at closerange, a coiled rattlesnake in striking distance, me in a rental car in the left lane, and dunces with credit cards.</p>
<p>And indeed they are dunces, products of a tax burning, failed public education system. That is, if they even bothered to complete high school. They don&#8217;t read newspapers or books, and even if they did, I got twenty bucks that says they couldn&#8217;t comprehend what they read. They are morons in the first degree. And clearly, they vote.</p>
<p>If and when President Obama attempts to impose his wrong-headed, punitive tax structure, their stupidity is going to come back to thump them upside their vacuous heads with a very painful crowbar of reality. The economy works in strange and wondrous ways and has a unique way of severely punishing fools. Rare justice is a beautiful thing.</p>
<p>These dunderheads have no clue how the economic mess was largely caused by Democrats, including Obama. But Obama, recognizing how gullible, naive and dumb many of his supporters are, drummed it into them that the economic mess was caused by President Bush and the Republicans and that he is going to give 95% of Americans a tax cut when 40% of Americans don&#8217;t even pay any federal taxes. Investing deception capital in the stupidity of his supporters was a very wise move on Obama&#8217;s part. That is if you don&#8217;t really care about anything except getting elected.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<img style='float: left; margin-right: 10px; border: none;' src='http://www.gravatar.com/avatar.php?gravatar_id=ca5e7284bbfb0695d21146c8de12b9db&amp;default=http://www.thepropheticyears.com/graphics/logo.jpg' alt='No Gravatar' width=40 height=40/><p>I think most of our politicians and most Americans are living under some false delusion that the &#8220;yes we can&#8221; Candy Man is going to fix the economy. Before you eat too much of his sugar you might read about why that cannot happen.</p>
<p>This first article will have nice graphs and explanations why this is <strong><a href="http://www.doctorhousingbubble.com/10-significant-signs-why-this-will-be-the-worst-recession-since-world-war-ii/" rel="nofollow" title="worst recession" >not an ordinary recession</a></strong>. It is my own view that it will lead into a conventional great depression unless we take the path of a  long term inflationary depression.</p>
<p>Think not? Read this article that gives 30 reason why there will be a <strong><a href="http://www.marketwatch.com/news/story/Well-Great-Depession-2-2011/story.aspx?guid={B28B49B5-EFD1-4941-B57E-A2BA1545BA09}&amp;dist=hplatest" rel="nofollow" title="great depression by 2011" >great depression by early next decade</a></strong>. Having said that, If our government can do anything to prevent a depression they will. They are not likely to allow the nation to go into a deflationary spiral. They will just dump money fresh off the printing presses out of helicopters first.</p>
<p>Of course doing that pisses off people in other nations that hold trillions of our dollars that they actually had to trade for their own goods and services. With more dollars being printed you will have more dollars chasing the same amount of goods and services in the world which means that the prices of everything bought in dollars will be bid up, making the buying power of all the dollars that they hold buy less. So they will either get angry and dump the dollars at a loss or demand much higher interest rates to take the risk of holding them while they lose value. I believe this is economics 101 although it seems to me that those that are running our government probably took the pass/fail version of the course and only showed up for the multiple guess tests.</p>
<p>Anyway, higher prices on goods and services always means higher inflation and that means a higher cost of living for everyone. Also higher interest rates on servicing the national debt means government will have less money and they will have to borrow even more money or print more money causing an inflationary spiral. The article on this link will explain <strong><a href="http://" rel="nofollow" title="government will always take the inflation path" >why government most likely will choose the path of inflation</a></strong> rather than let the country go into a classic depression.</p>
<p>I suppose you know that historically government has always shut down inflation by raising interest rates higher and higher until less people can afford to borrow. That does work, but it is very bad for business and for those who want to buy houses, cars and other items they usually finance. Since it would cost more to borrow, businesses would tend to not expand and some would go out of business and unemployment would rise. Only when there are less dollars to buy those goods and services will prices and interest rates actually start to come down. That is the way they have been managing our economy since world war II.</p>
<p>The crises now is that the interest rate controls that they used to keep our economy deflating or inflating over the past 60 years will not work this time because we are now at the start of a deep recession and interest rates are already as low as they can go. They cannot lower rates below zero or they would be giving money away. Government is now borrowing money and spending it like a drunken sailor and still the economy continues to tank. The only thing left for government to do to avoid a deflationary spiral is to give away money. That will put the government further in debt. The Candy Man has said he has no problem giving out trillions of dollars in the next two years to get the economy going again. Problem is, The Candy Man will come in office with the national debt at about $12 trillion. The sugar he will hand out from the national debt candy machine will put the nation $15 trillion in debt within two years. So, by 2011 the national debt will have increased 50 percent.</p>
<p>But as I already said, keeping the printing presses running will make the dollar worth less to those that hold them. Not only that, they will want higher returns to take the risk to hold them because the interest on our $15 trillion debt will be so large that they will fear, with good reason, that we will default on the payments. They certainly will demand more control over how we spend money in this nation and we will lose much sovereignty. The present economic crises is already <strong><a href="http://www.newsmax.com/morris/g_20_economic_summit/2008/11/19/153044.html" rel="nofollow" title="lose of our soverignty" >lossing our soverignty</a></strong> as this link describes. It is amazing how one elitist controlled Texan can all by himself give away our nation to the European globalists.</p>
<p>But, getting back to the depression scenario, higher interest rates by the Federal reserve always brings national slow downs but since we will be coming out of the worst recession since the Great depression in two years and real unemployment will be running greater than 15 percent the government could not allow us to go back into recession. If they did it will turn into a 1930&#8217;s type great depression and civil breakdown. So they will keep printing more money creating an inflationary spiral better known as hyperinflation or an inflationary depression.</p>
<p>We saw that take place in Germany prior to world war II. It brought about the rise of Hitler. We saw it in Argentina more recently, and it is now taking place in Zimbabwe. That is most likely our future, but there is a small chance that government will instead cut spending and raise taxes significantly to pay our debt and then we will just be in great depression II but that will probably be worse than great depression I. If that should happen besides the civil unrest we will have to default on our debts, pull all our troops home from everywhere, and become a isolated nation or at least a nation that lost its sovereignty.</p>
<p>In any case, because of massive national debt and entitlement debt there is no way out of this one and whether we go into a great depression or hyperinflation the results for most Americans will be very similar. Living standards in the U.S. will be reduced to that of Mexico. Perhaps even worse, if we get in foreign conflicts or have great civil unrest and martial law. If that happens you will see a national draft, and rationing of everything.</p>
<p>This is not a pretty picture of the near future for the USA, but to be informed and to prepare for it is better than living in delusion. The &#8220;yes we can&#8221; Candy Man slogans will not be able to deliver us from what we cannot fix without great individual and personal sacrifice. it would be better to save the possive thinking &#8220;yes we can&#8221; slogans for those that will take part in the next revolution.</p>

Some very astute bright professional and medical people would say so. The liberal leaders do show every indication of being clinically nuts.

Now thanks to quite insane people taking over the Jackass Party with liberal support from gullible sheeple we see a fresh herd of Jackasses moving toward the White House. Now we will get to see a liberal amount of national insanity played out right here before your eyes in the good old USA.

<blockquote><p>There is a profound ignorance and loathing in the political philosophy of liberalism against human nature. Where it is discussed in polite company it is done so in context of casting maledictions, ridicule and contempt upon Christians, Christianity and their belief in the synthesis of legality and morality; an idea adopted by the framers of the Constitution and held as absolutely indispensable to the survival of America&#8217;s republic.</p>
<p>To your average liberal intellectual or humanist academic, the Founding Fathers and the Constitution&#8217;s framers were the lowest, vilest, murderous hypocrites on the face of the earth and only deserve our utter condemnation. We see this displayed daily on the liberal media, in the judicial system, in the Democratic Party, in its leadership, its committees and the policies they champion, both domestic and foreign. Virtually every word uttered, printed or recorded by liberals is a dishonorable, unbroken litany of treason against America&#8217;s laws, economics, culture, society and her most sacred values.</p>
<p>Rossiter said that liberalism is &#8220;based on strikingly irrational beliefs and emotions; modern liberals relentlessly undermine the most important principles on which our freedoms were founded.&#8221;</p>
<p>Using legal logic and deductive reasoning, if, as Dr. Rossiter brilliantly delineates, liberalism is a psychological disorder tantamount to political madness and America just elected Barack Obama, who according to the National Journal is the most liberal member of both houses of Congress, who ran on a socialist platform of resurrection of the welfare state of FDR, then what does that say about our American citizens who have elected these people to have Stalin-like control over every aspect of our lives from cradle to grave?</p>
<p>Can you say UAA, United Asylum of America?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<img style='float: left; margin-right: 10px; border: none;' src='http://www.gravatar.com/avatar.php?gravatar_id=ca5e7284bbfb0695d21146c8de12b9db&amp;default=http://www.thepropheticyears.com/graphics/logo.jpg' alt='No Gravatar' width=40 height=40/><p>President Bush, Obama and McCain and most of the Congress and the Senate all sang the Hank Paulson blues to America. The 700 Billion figure was just a figure pulled out of thin air because they did not think they could sell over a trillion dollars to the American people. At first they did not have the votes but then they added $150 billion in pork to buy the votes they needed. Now Paulson is taking the money and doing the exact oppose that he said he was going to do with it. Much of the money was given to a few bank who did not need it but had no choice but to take it. On the one hand they are telling these banks that they forced to take money to tighten up there lending requirements and on the other hand they are saying they need to lend out more money. The 46 Billion loan to AIG is now up to $150 Billion. The Fanny May Freddie Mac bailout is going to cost much more than they ever let on.</p>
<p>There will be hundreds of hands out for the remaining piece of the money pie. Taxpayers will be given the choice to make more money pies or lose their jobs. The bill to the taxpayers in any case will probably exceed two trillions dollars and that will not include the cost of falling government revenues in a recession. Then the government thinks they can finance trillions of dollars in additional debt to world suckers at less than the world inflation rate? More likely the government will be forced to just print additional dollars to pay the debt which will make the dollar crash like a rock bringing the U.S. a much greater financial disaster.</p>
<p>This is what happens when Americans let government morons try to manage things like they actually know what they are doing. If these people had any brains to start with they would not be working for the government. Now Americans will put a President in place who wants the government to manage just about everything ranging from health care, to energy, to climate. It seems to me the American people deserve the Demented Delusional or Dumb Club Award for knowing nothing, being the most gullible people on earth and trusting their own future to these morons running the Federal government.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.onenewsnow.com/Perspectives/Default.aspx?id=319918" rel="nofollow" >Hank Paulson, naked emperor (OneNewsNow.com)</a></strong></p>
<blockquote><p>The White House says: &#8220;We&#8217;ll just trust our treasury secretary to implement the program.&#8221; President Bush insists &#8220;government&#8217;s role will be limited and temporary.&#8221; Meanwhile, Democratic Rep. Barney Frank is shrugging off the lack of bailout disclosure by both the Federal Reserve and Treasury. But as I reminded readers before this latest bait-and-switch admission, Hank Paulson is not to be trusted. I repeat:</p>
<p>This is the man who proclaimed the subprime crisis &#8220;largely contained&#8221; in April 2007; &#8220;near the bottom&#8221; in May 2007; and &#8220;largely contained&#8221; again in August 2007. This is the man who pledged that he had &#8220;no interest in bailing out lenders or property speculators&#8221; in October 2007 and couldn&#8217;t &#8220;think of any situation where the backdrop of the global economy was as healthy as it is today.&#8221;</p>
<p>This is the man who patted himself on the back for refusing to &#8220;put taxpayer money on the line&#8221; to rescue Lehman Brothers on Sept. 15 &#8212; and then turned around the next day and engineered the $85 billion taxpayer-funded bailout of AIG. This is the man who vowed he had &#8220;no plans to insert money&#8221; into Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac &#8212; and then turned around and committed $200 billion in capital and credit lines to those corrupt, bloated, crumbling institutions.</p>
<p>This is the man who declared that &#8220;the worst is likely to be behind us&#8221; in May 2008.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<img style='float: left; margin-right: 10px; border: none;' src='http://www.gravatar.com/avatar.php?gravatar_id=ca5e7284bbfb0695d21146c8de12b9db&amp;default=http://www.thepropheticyears.com/graphics/logo.jpg' alt='No Gravatar' width=40 height=40/><p>This report on the terrorist threat in Britain is grave. They admit that are some<strong> 200 terrorist networks functioning in Britain</strong> that are aligned with al-Qaeda today and that there are now at least <strong>30 active plots in the works</strong>. They also say that more domestic terrorists are being recruited on campuses and in prisons.</p>
<p>This of course is not limited to Britain. It is going on all over the West to some extent. Anyone who thinks these people can be appeased by pretending that they are not a threat needs serious help. Also, how can 200 terrorist networks exist in Britain if many more so called &#8220;moderate&#8221; Muslims are not aiding and abetting them, or at the very least turning a blind eye to their activities? Let&#8217;s face it, there is a civil war brewing between the Muslim immigrants and the natives of European countries and the sooner Europeans realize it the better off Europe will be.</p>
<p>I believe the government knows this and fears this and that is why they want natives to have endless tolerance and Muslims to be endlessly appeased. The unrealistic liberal idealists think they can appease their way out of the problem. They will find too late that al-Qaeda is not going to be appeased until either the whole world is under the control of al-Qaeda or all al-Qaeda are dead. How many attacks do they think the European natives will put up with before they take matters into their own hands and replace the &#8220;progressives&#8221; in government with right wing popularists who will lead them against the Islamic threat? And what danger should that bring to mind to Europe?</p>
<p>The main recruiting and terrorist training grounds are in Afghanistan and Pakistan but there are others  areas as well. We had better take the sanctuary States away from the terrorists before we see blood running in our own streets. Also consider this article, <a href="http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2008/11/10/1226165435339.html" rel="nofollow" title="bin laden plans new attack on US" >Bin Laden plans new attack on US</a>.  The West needs to take off the kid gloves when dealing with domestic Islamic terrorists and the only way I know to do that is to force relocation of those who are not willing to assimilate into Western society. That means no special laws, judges, police, schools, forced marriages, dress or large ethic enclaves for Muslims. It also means that prisons become prisons and not recruitment ground social clubs. The alternative of not dealing with the problem is not Islam as some believe. Europe will never become Islamic. The people would rather become Fascist and they will become Fascist if people running western nations do not get a reality check and deal with the Islamic problem while it can still be dealt with. Otherwise, Europe will be in civil war and turned into a police state.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/politics/defence/3406107/Report-identifies-UK-terrorist-enclaves.html" rel="nofollow" >Report identifies UK terrorist enclaves &#8211; Telegraph</a></strong></p>
<blockquote><p>Secret enclaves of al-Qaeda extremists based in London, Birmingham and Luton are planning mass-casualty attacks in Britain, according to a leaked Government intelligence report.</p>
<p>The document, which was drawn up by the intelligence branch of the Ministry of Defence, MI5 and Special Branch, states that &#8220;some thousands&#8221; of extremists are active in the UK. They are predominantly UK-born and aged between 18 and 30, and many are believed to have been trained in overseas terrorist camps.</p>
<p>Under the heading &#8220;International Terrorism&#8221;, the report, which is marked &#8220;restricted&#8221; states: &#8220;For the foreseeable future the UK will continue to be a high-priority target for international terrorists aligned with al-Qaeda. It will face a threat from British nationals, including Muslim converts, and UK-based foreign terrorists, as well as terrorists planning attacks from abroad.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p><a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/politics/defence/3406107/Report-identifies-UK-terrorist-enclaves.html" rel="nofollow" ></a></p>
<blockquote><p>The document also reveals that many of the terror networks operating in the UK include extremists who have been trained in terrorist camps overseas and have &#8220;some ability to construct improvised explosive devices, incorporating home-made explosives&#8221;.</p>
<p>It adds: &#8220;The availability of training/guidance and the necessary components to build improvised explosive devices (IED), allied with extremists&#8217; known targeting preferences, mean that IED attacks against crowded places, intended to cause mass casualties, are the most likely form of attack in the UK.&#8221;</p>
<p>It is also made clear in the report that al-Qaeda cells are planning further attacks in UK with the so-called Government Security Zone (GSZ), an area which covers the Houses of Parliament, Whitehall, Buckingham and St James&#8217; Palaces, as a possible target. The threat level in the GSZ is described in the report as &#8220;severe&#8221;.</p></blockquote>
<p><a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/politics/defence/3406107/Report-identifies-UK-terrorist-enclaves.html" rel="nofollow" ></a></p>
<blockquote><p>Security officials are convinced that UK-based al-Qaeda cells will attempt to carry out another &#8220;spectacular&#8221; inside the UK with major transport termini, such as airports and train stations, being the most likely targets.</p></blockquote>
<p><a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/politics/defence/3406107/Report-identifies-UK-terrorist-enclaves.html" rel="nofollow" ></a></p>
<blockquote><p>He added: &#8220;We know that subversion and support for al-Qaeda is taking place in campuses and prisons all over the UK. The fact that we have not been attacked for over two years should not be taken by anyone as evidence that the threat has gone away, in fact it is just the contrary.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<img style='float: left; margin-right: 10px; border: none;' src='http://www.gravatar.com/avatar.php?gravatar_id=ca5e7284bbfb0695d21146c8de12b9db&amp;default=http://www.thepropheticyears.com/graphics/logo.jpg' alt='No Gravatar' width=40 height=40/><p>This article fully explains why Obama is a narcissist, why people follow them, and what that could mean to America. I suggest that you read the full article since there is much more explanation than what I quoted.  I think there is more going on here with Barak Obama than just a narcissist personality disorder. When people are elevated to this status without cause there probably is some supernatural presence behind it. Even some of his spiritualist promoters like Oprah would agree. Yes, I am suggesting demons and the proof is the elite powerful demonic people that attach themselves to him without reason. It is not incorrect to label Obama a false prophet since he claims to say things in God&#8217;s name that is in opposition to God&#8217;s revealed will.  With the checks and balances of our government a narcissist under normal circumstances could be contained but that will not likely be the case under Obama since there probably will be total control of our government under one party. In addition, that party has other narcissists in top positions.</p>
<p>For sure if Obama wins the presidency the nation will now get to see the fool headed rule of the Far Left. The question is will Americans then see the Democrat party for what it really is and vote it out or will it just refuse to see and look for scapegoats to persecute, tax, regulate, and blame? I suggest many of these co-dependents will never admit they were wrong.  The author suggest that almost all blacks will never give up on their black Messiah and that this will bring a white backlash led by white supremacists that will set back race relations back to that of the 60&#8217;s. <strong>It will be worse than that. </strong>If Obama turns out to be anywhere near as dangerous as this man suggests, it is not just blacks that will not give up their unfounded co-dependent hopes in Obama. Most of the people who live in a culture of government dependence and covetousness will not give up their hopes in Obama. That is now half of this nation.</p>
<p>If these then blindly follow the commands of their narcissist leader like did the people who followed Hitler, Mao, Stalin, Khomeini, etc. it will lead to the second America civil war and/or secession. Yes, white supremacists will try to feed on this but constitutional and Christian Americans must never let them set their agenda. They will need to deal with the Far Right fascists that will exploit this as well as the Far Left fascists and restore constitutional government without failing in traps of hate. Taking the high road on that may be a bigger challenge than just given into the hate.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.faithfreedom.org/obama.html" rel="nofollow" >Understanding Obama: The Making of a Fuehrer</a></strong></p>
<blockquote><p>It is amazing to see to what extent people are willing to go to eulogize another human being.  It is this excess that constitutes the cult of personality. The difference between admiration and cult of personality is in the degree of adulation.  Is it not fair to say that Obama has the same effect on his fans that Hitler, Khomeini or other famous demagogues such as Joseph Stalin or Mao Ze Dong had?  I am not equating Obama to those mass murderers. Obama has not killed anyone (at least not yet). I am only comparing their effects on their audience, particularly prior to their rise to power.  Obama’s speeches are unlike any political speech we have heard in American history. Never a politician in this land had such a quasi “religious” impact on so many people. The fact that Obama is a total incognito with zero accomplishment, makes this inexplicable infatuation alarming.  Obama’s speeches are grandiose. They are other worldly. He may talk about the war in Iraq, taxes or social security. It does not matter how mundane is the subject, he makes them sound transcendental and his audience is moved to tears. His worshippers do not go to listen to his plans. He has yet to offer any that is workable and different. They go to bask in his glory, to get high. Obama presents himself as someone with a unique vision and grasp of the entire problems affecting, not just the nation but the world, a pretense that is incomensurate with his track record. When in a meeting with House Democrats waxing lyrical about his trip to Europe, he concluded, <strong>“this is the moment, as Nancy [Pelosi] noted, that the world is waiting for.” The world is waiting for Obama, according to Obama. In one of his rallies he reiterated this delusion of grandiosity and said, “We are the ones we’ve been waiting for.&#8221; This sentence is logically absurd. What actually Obama wanted to say, which he masked with fake modesty is “I am the one the world has been waiting for.”</strong> When you fall for someone to the extent that Obama’s followers have fallen for him, you surrender your reason and individuality to him willingly. When millions of people surrender their hearts and their minds to one person the result can be catastrophic. This is what happened in Germany with Hitler, in China with Mao, in the Soviet Union with Stalin, in Cuba with Castro, in Iran with Khomeini, and so on and so forth. Today, we think these men were monsters, but that was not what millions of their worshipers thought. Those people loved them.  Dictators can’t dictate, unless peole are willing to be dictated.  Here is what Wikipedia says about Cult of Personality: &#8220;A cult of personality or personality cult arises when a country&#8217;s leader uses mass media to create a heroic public image through unquestioning flattery and praise. Cults of personality are often found in dictatorships but can be found in some democracies.</p></blockquote>
<p><a href="http://www.faithfreedom.org/obama.html" rel="nofollow" ></a></p>
<blockquote><p>Who is Obama?  Obama is not an ordinary man. He is not a genius. In fact he is quite ignorant on most important subjects. Barack Obama is a narcissist. Dr. Sam Vaknin, the author of the Malignant Self Love, also believes, “Barack Obama appears to be a narcissist.”  Vaknin is a world authority on narcissism. He understands narcissism and describes the inner mind of a narcissist like no other person. When he talks about narcissism everyone listens.  Vaknin says that Obama’s language, posture and demeanor, and the testimonies of his closest, dearest and nearest suggest that the Senator is either a narcissist or he may have narcissistic personality disorder (NPD).  Vaknin explains: “Narcissistic leaders are nefarious and their effects pernicious. They are subtle, refined, socially-adept, manipulative, possessed of thespian skills, and convincing. Both types [cerebral and somatic] equally lack empathy and are ruthless and relentless or driven.”  These were the very traits that distinguished Hitler and Khomeini. Many of these traits can be seen in Obama. As for his ruthlessness, perhaps his support of legislation to let babies die if they survive abortion, gives a glimps into his soul, that he may lacks empathy, does not value life, and if in the position of power can be ruthless. Narcissists need power to show their ruthlessness. Considering the fact that Obama neglected his own half brother, George Hussein Obama, who lives on one dollar per month in Kenya, we can’t vouch for Obama’s empathy or say he is a caring person.</p></blockquote>
<p><a href="http://www.faithfreedom.org/obama.html" rel="nofollow" ></a></p>
<blockquote><p>Narcissists seek power. That is the whole purpose of their existence. Power for them is the elixir of life.  Those who know about NPD can’t help but notice it in Obama’s posture, the tone of his voice, his demeanor and particularly his grandiose claims and unscripted adlibs.  Narcissim has degrees. When it is extreme it shows in the posture and the way the narcissist walks and talks. Obama&#8217;s posture, exudes haughtiness. He is all puffery. Compare his posture to those of Hitler, Stalin and Saddam.  <strong>According to Vaknin, Obama displays the following behaviors, which are among the hallmarks of pathological narcissism:</strong> &#8211; Subtly misrepresents facts and expediently and opportunistically shifts positions, views, opinions, and &#8220;ideals&#8221; (e.g., about campaign finance, re-districting). These flip-flops do not cause him overt distress and are ego-syntonic (he feels justified in acting this way). Alternatively, refuses to commit to a standpoint and, in the process, evidences a lack of empathy.  &#8211; Ignores data that conflict with his fantasy world, or with his inflated and grandiose self-image. This has to do with magical thinking. Obama already sees himself as president because he is firmly convinced that his dreams, thoughts, and wishes affect reality. Additionally, he denies the gap between his fantasies and his modest or limited real-life achievements (for instance, in 12 years of academic career, he didn&#8217;t publish a single scholarly paper or book).  &#8211; Feels that he is above the law.  &#8211; Talks about himself in the 3rd person singluar or uses the regal &#8220;we&#8221; and craves to be the exclusive center of attention, even adulation  &#8211; Has a messianic-cosmic vision of himself and his life and his &#8220;mission&#8221;.  &#8211; Sets ever more complex rules in a convoluted world of grandiose fantasies with its own language (jargon)  &#8211; Displays false modesty and unctuous &#8220;folksiness&#8221; but is unable to sustain these behaviors (the persona, or mask) for long. It slips and the true Obama is revealed: haughty, aloof, distant, and disdainful of simple folk and their lives.  &#8211; Sublimates aggression and holds grudges.  &#8211; Behaves as an eternal adolescent (e.g., his choice of language, youthful image he projects, demands indulgence and feels entitled to special treatment, even though his objective accomplishments do not justify it).  Narcissists project a grandiose but false image of themselves. Jim Jones, the charismatic leader of People’s Temple, the man who led over 900 of his followers to cheerfully commit mass suicide and even murder their own children was also a narcissist. David Koresh, Charles Manson, Joseph Koni, Shoko Asahara, Stalin, Saddam, Mao, Kim Jong Ill and Adolph Hitler are a few examples of narcissists of our time. All these men had a tremendous influence over their fanciers. They created a personality cult around themselves and with their blazing speeches elevated their admirers’ souls, filled their hearts with enthusiasm and instilled in their minds a new zest for life. They gave them hope! They promised them the moon, but alas, invariably they brought them to their doom. When you are a victim of a cult of personality, you don&#8217;t know it until it it too late.</p></blockquote>

<blockquote><p>Narcissists are manipulative and extremely resourceful. They know how to the play their game, and how to get what they want, by using others. Obama is the least experienced senator among the Democrats. His political views are the most foolish of them all. He opposed the surge in Iraq saying it will make the situation worse and he was wrong. He thinks the solution to terrorism is to sit with terrorist states without precondition and negotiate with them. When Russia invaded Georgia, all this genius did was to urge both sides to &#8220;exert restraint&#8221;. Everything this man has said so far reveals his ignorance in economical, political and military matters. Despite that, this junior senator has managed to rally the seasoned senators of the Democratic Party around himself and, not withstanding his ineptitude, he has emerged as the leader de facto of his party and their presidential candidate.  This is a remarkable feat. One must never underestimate the manipulative genius of pathological narcissists. They project such an imposing personality that it overwhelms those around them. Charmed by the charisma of the narcissist, people become like clay in his hands. They cheerfully do his bidding and delight to be at his service.  The narcissist shapes the world around himself and reduces others in his own inverted image. He creates a cult of personality. His admirers become his co-dependents.</p></blockquote>

<blockquote><p>Could all this phenomenal support and unbounded adulation erupt into violence?  All the abuses and killings in Nazi Germany were done by the Germans, ordinary people who loved Hitler and believed in the glorious tomorrow that he was promising them. Hitler was insane, but those who did his bidding were not. Despite being smart, they did not hesitate to fulfill their fuehrer’s wishes and commit the most heinous crimes.  The same thing happened in Iran. Ordinary people, once under the spell of Khomeini, acted like beasts. This is what happens when sane people follow insane people.  Could the same happen in America?  Why not? Look how millions of people literally worship Obama. With some people I cannot even talk about Obama. <strong>They cannot tolerate any criticism of him. They get angry and, not only they want to end the conversation but threaten to end the friendship. I am familiar with this kind of religious devotion to a person. The reaction that I get from Obama worshippers is similar to that of Muslims when their prophet is criticized. They are even prone to insult you. See how they overlook Obama&#8217;s blatant lies and are willing to forgive his major sins such as racism.  Note how the mainstream media bends the rules, twists the facts, exaggerates Obama’s little virtues, absolves his sins, and even lies to sell him to the public. </strong></p></blockquote>
<p><a href="http://www.faithfreedom.org/obama.html" rel="nofollow" ></a></p>
<blockquote><p>The narcissist’s anger and intolerance is projected on his servile followers who also become angry and intolerant of criticism of their leader. Remember the sick symbiosis between the narcissist and his codependents? The followers get their narcissistic supply by elevating the status of their leader.  The greater he looks, the better they feel. They see their glory is his glory. Conversely, when the narcissist is criticized, his followers become offended. They take those criticisms personally and their instinct of self defense is triggered. They will become vigilantes and will silence their critics through intimidation, bullying, mocking, threats and violence (like calling those who disagree with Obama, racists).  This paragraph is a later addition. About a week after I wrote the above, Missouri sheriffs and top prosecutors formed Obama &#8220;Truth Squads&#8221; and threatened libel charges against Obama critics. I am no prophet, but see how my predictions are coming to pass. This is only the begining. Narcissists are intolerant of criticism and create a reign of terror to silence their critics. Please someone invite this Obama&#8217;s &#8220;Truth Squad&#8221; to respond to his article and silence me.</p></blockquote>
<p><a href="http://www.faithfreedom.org/obama.html" rel="nofollow" ></a></p>
<blockquote><p>Vaknin writes: “Narcissists use anything they can lay their hands on in the pursuit of narcissistic supply.  If God, creed, church, faith, and institutionalized religion can provide them with narcissistic supply, they will become devout.  They will abandon religion if it can&#8217;t.”  <strong>Therefore, the question whether Obama is a Muslim or a Christian, whether he is pro Palestine, as he has been all his life or whether he is pro Israel, whether he is a black supremacist or an agent of racial harmony, are moot. Obama is anything you want him to be and situation dictates.  He takes the side that is more expedient to his cause.  To communists he is a comrade, to Islamists he is their man, to Palestinian fighters he is their hope and to the Jews he is a staunch Zionist. The narcissist’s creed is himself. Everything else is negotiable.</strong> <strong>Obama will do and say anything as long as it suits him. He will embrace any cause, will align himself with anyone, and will shift his position wherever the wind blows.  Narcissists are chameleons.</strong></p></blockquote>
<p><a href="http://www.faithfreedom.org/obama.html" rel="nofollow" ></a></p>
<blockquote><p>Obama’s election as the first black president of the Harvard Law Review led to a contract and advance to write a book about race relations. The University of Chicago Law School provided him with a fellowship and an office to work on his book. The book took him a lot longer than expected and at the end it devolved into…, guess what?  His own autobiography! Instead of writing a scholarly paper focusing on race relations, for which, he had been paid, Obama could not resist writing about his most sublime self. He entitled the book Dreams from My Father .  Not surprisingly, Adolph Hitler also wrote his own autobiography when he was still nobody. So did Stalin. For a narcissist no subject is as important as his own self. Why would he waste his precious time and genius writing about insignificant things when he can write about such an august being as himself?</p></blockquote>
<p><a href="http://www.faithfreedom.org/obama.html" rel="nofollow" ></a></p>
<blockquote><p>Narcissists are often callous and even ruthless. As the norm, they lack conscience. This is evident from Obama’s lack of interest in his own brother who lives on only one dollar per month.  A man who lives in luxury, who takes a private jet to vacation in Hawaii, and who has raised nearly half a billion dollars for his campaign (something unprecedented in history) has no interest in the plight of his own brother. Why? Because, his brother cannot be used for his ascent to power. A narcissist cares for no one but himself.</p></blockquote>
<p><a href="http://www.faithfreedom.org/obama.html" rel="nofollow" ></a></p>
<blockquote><p>Narcissists can be very generous, but never without an ulterior motive. They are generous when their display of generosity is noticed and elevates them in the eyes of others.  Obama donated $20,000 to his racist and anti-Semitic church, but neglected his brother who could get some education and live a lot better if only he had one dollar per day.  Narcissism is all about image.  Vaknin says, “The narcissist is shallow, a pond pretending to be an ocean. He likes to think of himself as a Renaissance man, a Jack of all trades. The narcissist never admits to ignorance in any field – yet, typically, he is ignorant of them all. It is surprisingly easy to penetrate the gloss and the veneer of the narcissist&#8217;s self-proclaimed omniscience.”  Obama’s gaffes in history and world affairs are proof of that. This man does not even know the number of states in the USA, or that Canada does not have a president. That is why Vaknin says a narcissist is a shallow pond that pretends to be an ocean. Obama&#8217;s ignorance about what should be common knowledge is mind boggling.</p></blockquote>
<p><a href="http://www.faithfreedom.org/obama.html" rel="nofollow" ></a></p>
<blockquote><p>Hitler was smart, and so is Obama.  Hitler would not have become the monster he became had he not risen to power and had he not received so much narcissistic fodder to feed on. One man who saw Khomeini prior to rising to power recalled he would gently push flies out of his window, but would not kill them. The same man massacred tens of thousands of Iranians.  It is power that brings madness out of the narcissist.  America is at a crucial moment in its history. I cannot think of any disaster greater than putting a pathological narcissist in control of the world’s most powerful military machine.  Narcissists are empty in substance but full on promises. Obama has not proposed a single concrete workable plan, but he has raised the hopes and expectations of millions of people with his promises.  The glorious tomorrow that he offers is no more real than the Styrofoam Greek columns that adorned his image during his acceptance speech.</p></blockquote>
<p><a href="http://www.faithfreedom.org/obama.html" rel="nofollow" ></a></p>
<blockquote><p>Today the Democrats have placed all their hopes in Obama. But this man could put an end to their party. The great majority of blacks have also decided to vote for Obama. Only a fool does not know that their support for him is racially driven.  Brendan Farrington, reported, evidence indicates that some black Republicans are switching parties to vote for Obama. He wrote, “Florida has 81,512 more black Democrats compared to a loss of 784 black Republicans; Louisiana has 34,325 more black Democrats, while the number of black Republicans dropped by 907; North Carolina has 92,356 more black Democrats and 2,850 fewer black Republicans. The only three states that track voting registration by party and race show black Republican registration dropping slightly since the beginning of the year.&#8221;  Let us call a spade a spade. This is racism, pure and simple. The truth is that while everyone carries a misconceived collective guilt towards the blacks for wrongs done centuries ago by a bygone people to a bygone people, the blacks carry a collective rancor, enmity or vendetta towards non-blacks and to this day want to &#8220;stand up&#8221; to the whiteman. They seem to be stuck in 19th century.  The downside of this is that if Obama turns out to be the disaster I predict, he will cause widespread resentment among the whites. The blacks are unlikely to give up their support of their man. Cultic mentality is pernicious and unrelenting. They will dig their heads deeper in the sand and blame Obama&#8217;s detractors of racism. This will cause a backlash among the whites.  The white supremacists will take advantage of the discontent and they will receive widespread support. I predict that in less than four years, racial tensions will increase to levels never seen since the turbulent 1960s. Obama will set the clock back decades.  America is the bastion of freedom. The peace of the world depends on the strength of America, and its weakness translates into the triumph of terrorism and victory of rogue nations. It is no wonder that Ahmadinejad, Hugo Chavez, the Castrists, the Hezbollah, the Hamas, the lawyers of the Guantanamo terrorists and virtually all sworn enemies of America are so thrilled by the prospect of their man in the White House. America is on the verge of destruction. There is no insanity greater than electing a pathological narcissist as president.  <a href="http://www.faithfreedom.org/obama.html" rel="nofollow"  target="_blank">Full article</a></p></blockquote>

Many will soon carry their dog license wherever they go and will be leashed by their masters of the universe. Americans can obey the master&#8217;s commands and sit, stay, roll over, and beg or we can bite the hand that feeds us. Your choice. Good article, you need to read the rest.</p>
<p>It is amazing the percentage of people who&#8217;s ancestors came out of slavery that will eagerly vote to become slaves of the state for a monthly biscuit. Yes, the dog days of America are upon us.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;pageId=79627" rel="nofollow" >Sit. Stay. Roll over. Beg</a></strong></p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;To a man, the greatest blessing is individual liberty. To a dog, it is the last word in despair.&#8221; – William Lyon Phelps (1865-1943)</p>
<p>I honestly don&#8217;t hold a lot of hope in this upcoming presidential election. I have a sinking feeling that Obama is going to win. Perhaps not by the landslide he hopes, but a miss is as good as a mile (as they say), so we&#8217;re faced with the prospect of &#8220;change&#8221; being forced on us in the next four years whether we like it or not.</p>
<p>How could this happen? How did America, the land of the free and the home of the brave, get to this point? It&#8217;s because we have become dogs. We sit on command. We stay. We roll over. We beg. Oh boy do we beg.</p>
<p>Obama&#8217;s platform – and yes, to a lesser extent McCain&#8217;s – is based in socialism, pure and simple. Our wealth will be spread around, our housing and medical care will be taken out of the private sector and nationalized, thus becoming (ahem) &#8220;free.&#8221; Our right to bear arms will be severely infringed, and in all other respects our constitutionally guaranteed American rights will go to hell in a handbasket.</p>
<p>Throughout history, people have spent lifetimes trying to break free from the chains of bondage. Here in the U.S., for the first time in the course of human events, our Founding Fathers achieved that concept – first through the Declaration of Independence, later supplemented with the 13th Amendment. And now, 232 years later, we are happily and voluntarily fettering ourselves with chains much thicker, heavier and oppressive than England ever imposed upon us in the height of King George&#8217;s insanity.</p>
<p>All because we&#8217;ve become dogs. We roll over in submission for someone to scratch our bellies. We cower when we&#8217;re smacked with a newspaper. We beg for treats. Our world implodes when our masters are angry with us.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<img style='float: left; margin-right: 10px; border: none;' src='http://www.gravatar.com/avatar.php?gravatar_id=ca5e7284bbfb0695d21146c8de12b9db&amp;default=http://www.thepropheticyears.com/graphics/logo.jpg' alt='No Gravatar' width=40 height=40/><p>The insane foreign policy of Clinton and Bush toward North Korea just might cause the rise of another major nuclear power in the world. Japan could be a nuclear superpower in a few years after they make a decision to go nuclear. Japan has a large amount of plutonium, they have the rockets and they know how to build nukes.</p>
<p>North Korea has been playing us the fool for decades and our leadership will do anything to be in the good graces of the &#8220;Dear Leader&#8221; of North Korea even though allowing North Korea to retain nuclear weapons threatens our friends. This sham operation on their reactor does not reduce N. Korea&#8217;s nuclear capabilities one bit yet we took them off the state terrorist list even though they recently gave nuclear material to Syria and who knows who else.</p>
<p>Now it appears that we will treat them like friends until the next time they stab us in the back. Their murderous human rights abuses alone should keep them right on top of the list of terrorists nations. This is more of the same liberal postmodernism that believes that there are no evil people we just need to talk to them and find common ground and they will come around and see the light. We have a State Department full of nincompoops who have drunk the Kool-Aid of the &#8220;Dear Leaders&#8221; cult nation!</p>
<p>Allowing a nuclear North Korea puts us under constant danger of an EMP attack ourselves and the threat of North Korea exporting their nuclear material to other terrorist nations or groups. People who put Japan and ourselves under this risk should be locked up in a rubber room where they cannot harm anyone. If our loony foreign policies decisions result in a nuclear Japan we might as will give up on nuclear non-proliferation. Then each nation can prepare its own nukes for the certain doomsday that will come.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.feer.com/international-relations/2008/october/Will-Japan-Go-Nuclear" rel="nofollow" >Far Eastern Economic Review | Will Japan Go Nuclear?</a></strong></p>
<blockquote><p>Japan is furious because the Bush administration, in its dying days, has done exactly what it accused the Clintonites of doing—rewarding North Korea for bad behavior. Why? Because the North Koreans are masters of brinkmanship, blackmail and extortion. They have exploited Bush’s need for a foreign policy “legacy.&#8221;</p>
</blockquote>
<p><a href="http://www.feer.com/international-relations/2008/october/Will-Japan-Go-Nuclear" rel="nofollow" ></a></p>
<blockquote><p>We have seen this movie before. North Korea has just “sold” its nuclear reactor at Yongbyon for the third time since 1994, and for an even higher price. In return for the usual promises that North Korea will dismantle Yongbyon, the United States will provide even more fuel aid than under the 1994 and 2007 agreements.</p>
<p>With North Korea now removed from the State department’s list of states that sponsor terrorism, it will be eligible for direct U.S. aid, as well as international loans and other benefits. The United States also expects Japan to help pay for this new agreement.</p>
<p>But Japan is balking. Indeed, it has reason to fear that the North Koreans, once they have pocketed these concessions, will present other demands. These might include a “nonaggression pact” with America and a “peace treaty” that will include the removal of remaining U.S. forces from South Korea.</p>
</blockquote>
<p><a href="http://www.feer.com/international-relations/2008/october/Will-Japan-Go-Nuclear" rel="nofollow" ></a></p>
<blockquote><p>And what of America’s previous insistence that North Korean “denuclearization” be complete, verifiable and irreversible? Gone, but covered by a fig leaf. North Korea will not be required to own up to its uranium-enrichment program, hidden underground. Nor will it be required to give up the six to a dozen nuclear weapons that it has already built. And North Korea won’t be held to account for its proliferation of fissile material to places such as Syria and Iran.</p>

I did not know Baum wrote “Oz” as a spoof to expose the forces conspiring to gain control of the economy. I guess what applied then even more so applies today. This article by Dave Daubenmire should be food for thought.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.newswithviews.com/Daubenmire/dave130.htm" rel="nofollow" >Dave Daubenmire &#8212; Follow the Yellow Brick Road</a></p>
<blockquote><p>Back to The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. L. Frank Baum wrote this spoof on the late 1890’s attempt to reform America’s monetary policy. Even back then the “bankers” were attempting to take the American dollar off of the gold standard. Baum wrote “Oz” to expose the forces conspiring to gain control of the economy.</p>
<p>“Oz is short for ounce, the measure for gold and silver.</p>
<p>Dorothy, hailing from Kansas, represents the commoner.</p>
<p>The Tin Woodsman is the industrial worker, rusted solid as the factories shut down in the 1893 depression. The Scarecrow is the farmer who apparently doesn’t have the wit to understand his situation or his political interests. The Cowardly Lion is William Jennings Bryan; (Ron Paul) who had a loud roar but little political power as he fought the political powers of his day.</p>
<p>The Good Witches represent the magical potential of the people of the Midwest and the South (red states).</p>
<p>After vanquishing the Wicked Witch of the East (the Eastern bankers) Dorothy frees The Munchkins (the little people). With the witch&#8217;s silver slippers (the silver standard), (they change to ruby red in the movie) Dorothy sets out on the Yellow Brick Road (the gold standard) to the Emerald City (Washington), where they meet the Wizard (the President), who appears powerful, but is ultimately revealed as an illusion; the real Wizard being just a little man who pulls levers behind a curtain” (printing presses).</p>
<p>“Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain…” We must once again come to the realization that WE hold all of the power. <strong>The Scarecrow, the Tin Man and the Cowardly Lion are us.</strong></p>
<p>The Scarecrow was looking for a brain, all of the time convinced he needed “experts” to think for him. The Tin Man was looking for a heart, feeling he needed the “great and powerful Oz” to restore his broken spirit through government handouts. And the Cowardly Lion needed only the courage to fight.</p>
