WASHINGTON, D.C. – Last night President Obama delivered the 6th State of the Union (#SOTU) Address of his presidency.
True to form, “Tonight my fellow Americans and Congress, I can report the State of our Union is strong…” Going into the WHY and the HOW of why and how the State of our Union is strong, in his humble estimations.
And so it goes….
But ladies and gentlemen we know, respectfully, of that to be anything but true. We are in crisis ladies and gentlemen. The State of our Union is not strong. If anything its more influx and in a state of play that is less agreeable or and if you want, disagreeable than ever.
Police are indiscriminately, for the most part, systematically killing our young and youth, our elderly and our disabled, the homeless and the otherwise disadvantaged on an almost daily basis.
And while the Bible I read and the Church to which I attend tells me that, “the Poor and the Elderly you will always have but Me you won’t…” One has to wonder what we will do in the meantime?
“Prepare ye (me) the Way of the Lord,” the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke & John all say, “make the crooked way straight … For broad is the gate but narrow is the way that leadeth to destruction!” These were the words of John the Baptist as he was preparing the people and the way for the coming King.
And why wouldn’t that apply to today? How would we, if we so choose, apply that statement to today?
It’s very easy, really simple in fact. You can’t very well prepare ye (me) the way of the Lord if you’re dead! What would be the point?
You say, “Well Rhett, what does that have to do with the State of the Union Address President Obama just made?” Good question! Tell ya how. But in order for me to answer it we need to look to our human history. And we need to look to a series of meetings that took place between then President Ronald Reagan and Bishop Desmond Tutu.
In December of 1984 Bishop Tutu left South Africa for the United States and in particular what would be the first of many meetings with the then President of the United States, Ronald Reagan.
Among their topics of discussion was seeking his help in the negotiating process of the ‘early release’ from prison of His Excellency Nelson R. ‘BaBa to Me’ ‘Madiba to the World’ Mandela and ending the free and open trade agreements between the then apartheid-state of South Africa and the United States of America until such a negotiation was deemed successful. (#RIPBaBa, I Love You.)
In the early going negotiations were rough. But it was the very first meeting between Reagan and Tutu that will always stand out for me.
True to form, Ronald Reagan, the ‘Great Communicator’, quipped to a White House Press Reporter, when asked how his first meeting went with the Archbishop, “Tutu? So, so..”
Both men admired and respected each other a great deal and later in life would form a lasting ‘Peace through Strength’ (although Tutu coined it, “Peace through Unity”.) relationship even unto the point of Reagan’s last coherent days on this earth. (#RIP Papa Reagan, I Love You.)
They understood each other, and valued a common interest and mutual understanding that all life is precious and sacred and should be given every opportunity to succeed, especially when they have done absolutely nothing wrong, except be who they are to a people and to a nation, ultimately to a world, a Representative of Mother Freedom and Auntie Peace.
And as we look to the end of the presidency of Barack H. Obama, II., his final years in office, can we honestly say with all that is going on in the free world ,as we know it, that the Way of the Lord has rightly and properly been prepared?
To be sure, no president or presidency is perfect, and they never ever will be. But as the klieg lights begin to dim and human history begins, yet, to write the tails of the ‘first BLACK President’ and his place on the three-legged stool where America’s laws and prophets rest. Can we honestly ASSume the position that the ‘prepare ye (me) the Way of the Lord’ has begun from more than just the 35,000 foot level with this man? Respectfully.
Folks! This is the ‘State of Play’, moreover the human condition left in the so-called ‘last bastion of freedom’ that is still left in a relatively young world…
A rock, no doubt, yet and still, in a ‘weary land’. A firm foundation in a Stated Union that is less than Stately. At least under a Obama presidency anyways.
You say well, “Rhett. Rhett. Rhett. Rhett. Old buddy. Pal. Friend. And chum. You can’t. You can’t. You just cannot possibly be blaming Barack Obama for all this, now can you? C’mon now!”
No friend, and fellow Citizen of Planet Earth I am not! That is the last and least possible thing in which I wish to do.
I am, however, placing the blame squarely where it needs to lie and that is with the Rothschild-Rockefeller-CIA-FBI-COINTELPRO-Zionist-Illuminati-Police-State-Regime. Period. Full stop.
It is here where the State of our Piss Poor Desensitized Union rests. Squarely! With them and there’s.
And it seems, at times, to this writer anyways, that President Obama is a reluctantly, reliable statesman?
Under this presidency more harm than good has come. For example. And according to the book, “Shadow Government” By Tom Engelhardt, famed by his TomDispatch.com website (You can VISIT HERE!), “..the Obama administration has more than doubled the total whistleblower prosecutions of all previous administrations combined…
…under the draconian World War I-era Espionage Act. In addition(, he goes on to write,) it has threatened journalists who have written about or published leaked material and has gone on expeditions into the telephone and email records of major media organizations… – Taken From “The War on Whistleblowers,” sub chapter of “How to be a Rogue Superpower,” Chapter Three in the Book, “Shadow Government_” (emphasis mine.)
I’d like to personally thank Mr. Engelhardt here and now for this oh-so-subtle reminder. I would also like to thank him for this reminder in the wake of the ‘Snowden Revelations’.
All this adds up to a new version of deterrence thinking in which a potential whistleblower should know that he or she will experience a life time of suffering for leaking anything; in which those, even in the highest reaches of government, who consider speaking to journalists on classified subjects should know that their calls could be monitored and their whispers criminalized; and in which the media should know that reporting on such subjects is not a healthy activity. – Taken From “The War on Whistleblowers,” sub chapter of “How to be a Rogue Superpower,” Chapter Three in the Book, “Shadow Government_”
Even now, we see, in the wake of the COINTELPRO International from Paris, France, or what I am calling, “9/11 2.0”, that the national as well as international hall monitors are ramping up the, “you better have a hall pass!” talk. (Woe be unto you and yours IF you don’t!)
And as luck would have it the right honorable Sir David Cameron is one of the ones leading the charge!
Accordingly, our friends at Think Progress ,reported recently, that Cameron wants a kind of stop-gap measure in place with regards to social media whenever ‘terrorism’ takes place in the world so that governments around the world can ‘catch the perpetrators’ quicker. Can you imagine? Social media being made to go dark until the alleged perpetrators are caught?
Governments should be thanking social media for helping them to do their jobs!
And we saw first hand of the (thanks for a job well done in the) stop-gap in action in regards to the initial days of the Snowden manhunt of 2013.
In this light, no incident has been more revealing than the grounding of the plane of Bolivian president Evo Morales, the democratically elected head of a sovereign Latin American nation that is not an official enemy of the United States. Angry Bolivian authorities termed it a “kidnapping” or “imperialist hijack.” It was, at the least, an act for which it’s hard to imagine a precedent.
Evidently officials in Washington believed that the plane bringing the Bolivian president back from Moscow was also carrying Snowden. As a result, the United States seems to have put enough pressure on four European countries (France, Spain, Portugal, and Italy) to force that plane to land for refueling in a fifth country (Austria). There–again, US pressure seems to have been the crucial factor–it was searched under disputed circumstances and Snowden not found. – Taken From, “How to Ground a Plane to (Not) Catch a Whistleblower” A Sub chapter of “How to be a Rogue Superpower,” Chapter Three of the Book, “Shadow Government_”
Knowing the Snowden Affair as we all now do Reader and Fellow Citizen of Earth you can clearly see the need for the best possible speed towards a police state, most especially in times of manufactured crisis as in the whole, “I Am Charlie” Hebdo Affair.
Couple that with an oh-so-willing ‘drive by media’ complex and the fact, as Englehardt so rightly states in his book, “Shadow Government_” (Regarding the whole Snowden Affair in the first place, and how things really and truly unfolded, and have continued to unfold since Snowden broke.) …
…no serious reporting from Washington on the subject…(Has ever taken place, SAVE, the odd man out in Glenn Greenwald, Barton Gellman, James Rosen, and James Risen just to name but a few. – Emphasis Mine.)
Ever goes on, especially, when we never ever want,
A crisis to go to waste.- Rahm Emmanuel
(How about a good game of blind man’s bluff? Anyone? Anyone?)
Because….
The US media largely ignored the American role in the grounding of the plane, an incident that was regularly described here as if the obvious hadn’t happened. – Taken From, “How to Ground a Plane to (Not) Catch a Whistleblower” A Sub chapter Of “How to be a Rogue Superpower,” Chapter Three from the Book, “Shadow Government_”
(Police State? What Police State? – Pay no attention to that man woman or child being beat by that policeman! You just update your Facebook Page with the latest from the land of cute puppy dogs and kitty cats and we’ll let you know when and if you need to worry, okay?)
And IF you can get a willing audience in the form of Establishment Media well, then, you’ve got yourself the makings of a good case for a police state. Watch!
Hence, what I believe to be the reluctantly, reliable statesman in the form of Barack Obama. And while, and again, I wish no ill-will toward the man one has to wonder. They have to wonder. What with his oh so sly, “Tutu? So, so.” way of meeting and approaching the willing participants of the Rothschild-Rockefeller-CIA-FBI-COINTELPRO-Illuminati-Zionist-Police-State-Regime, which side his bread, really and truly, is buttered on?
(9/11 is over.) Osama bin Laden is dead. Al Qaeda is on the run, and GM is alive and well. -President Barack H. Obama, II., 2012 Candidacy for President (interchangeably, insert ably, sometimes used, sometimes not so much. Why, exactly, I don’t know? – Emphasis and Question My Own, No One Else’s.)
Coupled with that, and the fact that this regime’s stated goal is to control both the wealth as well as the Peoples of this World, especially those of color. One, again, has to wonder what side this president’s bread is buttered on? Wondering why, he would or he would not do anything less, but ‘prepare ye (me) the Way of the Lord!’?
WELCOME to the #HomeStretch of your Presidency Mr. Obama, WELCOME Indeed.
