Obama's New Age...?

[daffodyllady]

Did you all notice his reference to the New Age?

He chastised us for refusing to transition for a New Age.

It seems to me his meaning was a little more hidden than most would understand.

[wschaub]

I wasnt able to catch the whole speech hopefully there will be a transscript here soon. I'm sure there are all kinds of references. the bits he put in for global warming and us making sacrifices was scary enough. but I'm sure he's 100% on board with the new age. I believe we just witnessed the birth of a new world order today.

[momma9]

Praise God we're saved! Praise God we're not lining up with all the other sheep! Praise God we have ears that hear and eyes that can see! Praise God that we rely on the ONLY ONE who can save us, our Lord Jesus! I feel like we are tip toeing the line of the supernatural these days! Anyone else get that sense?

[Darin]

I just watched the inauguration speech with a roomful of Christians in the auditorium of the Christian school I work at. After the speech I asked a couple of the teachers: "Tell me I'm nuts. But did Obama just work the phrase "new age" into his speech, not just once, but twice, and in the most awkward way possible." It's such an uncharacteristic phrase, given how he talks the rest of the time.

None of them see to have noticed.

Sigh.

Tell me I'm nuts.

A Dangerous Presidency Begins

by Mac Johnson <http://www.humanevents.com/search.php?author_name=Mac+Johnson> (more by this author) <http://www.humanevents.com/search.php?author_name=Mac+Johnson>

Posted 01/20/2009 ET

By the time you read this, we will be well into the second month of historic celebrations of the historic election of our historic new leader President Barack Lincoln Kennedy Emmanuel (Hussein) Obama.

I hate to be a contrarian during the coronation of our Great Leader, but the sum of the facts compels the conclusion that we are today entering one of the most dangerous periods in our nation’s history. The combination of the hype and propaganda surrounding the man and the hype and propaganda regarding the economic crisis we are in present a unique hazard for an unchecked, unexamined and unopposed expansion of government power and a radical shift in the foundations of our America’s political culture.

This belief is not merely sour grapes in action, either. Anyone who reads my column regularly knows how little I think of John McCain. The dread I have when watching Obama is not reactionary. It is the result of a constellation of bad omens and unusual conditions that could dissolve and pass without incident, or they could mean long-term disaster.

First among these is that Barack Obama, more than any other politician in American history, is a product of, and partner with, the media. In this election, the mainstream media dispensed with all pretext of fairness and ran interference for Obama. It protected him from attack, examination, rumor, fact, his own positions, inexperience, and history, and gleefully promoted him as Hope Incarnate, a panacea for what ills all the world.

The media fancies itself a watchdog of politicians. For Obama it has been, by turns, a protective guard dog and an adoring poodle. The only threat the media ever presented to Obama is that lapdog Chris Matthews might knock him down, so great was his spastic, embarrassing adoration. One of the most disturbing things I have ever seen was the media, in the days after the election, marveling at how little they really knew about that enigma, Barack Obama. It was an admission of gross failure by a few honest members of the media. Whoever he is, he is now the most powerful man in the world.

Add to this that his party has been swept to large majorities in both the House and the Senate, where the leaders, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid, are both unilateralist partisans. Congress will be nothing more than a rubber stamp for President Obama, especially with the Republicans so demoralized and unconfident after Bush and McCain. The Democrats will back anything Obama offers and most Republicans will be too spineless to stand before the media and oppose Obama’s mandate for unspecified “change.”

Perhaps worst of all is that Obama is coming to power during a real and deep economic downturn. This already bad situation has then been exaggerated to gothic proportions by both Obama’s supporters (who correctly saw it as a lever to dislodge Republicans from the White House) and also by a coalition of selfish, desperate Wall Street bankers and corporate CEOs who have used fear to get Uncle Sam to save their fortunes with your tax money.

It’s a crisis! (In case you haven’t heard). That means we can’t think too long, we can even think at all. We have to throw money at Wall Street. We have to throw money at deadbeats. We have to throw money at infrastructure and energy and the internet and cities and towns and villages and individuals. We are now printing and spending money in chunks of trillions of dollars -- not even counting the entire regular federal budget. This is creating unimaginable debts and continuing obligations, and unprecedented new government powers.

Government now decides which corporations and ideas will not be allowed to fail. The free market that built America into the most prosperous nation on Earth is dead. We will, allegedly, borrow and spend our way to prosperity in a future in which government is the ultimate customer, owner, manager, planner, and investor. If you decide not to spend money, government will spend it for you. If you do not pay, government will pay for you. If you do not wish to invest, government will invest for you. It will take from whomever and give to whomever, for whatever reason it sees fit. Anything -- anything -- Obama proposes in his first 100 days and calls a “stimulus,” will pass. There will be no limits.

Unexamined by the media, unopposed by Congress, unleashed from precedent by crisis, there is another wrinkle in the story to consider: the strange cult of personality that surrounds Obama.

This cult is nothing short of creepy and is distinctly un-American. Unlike many other nations, we have avoided the “leader as a movement” hazard in America. We have traditionally believed in institutions and mistrusted any individual who claimed to be “the solution” to all our problems.

Something has changed with the rise of Obama. His stylized image is slapped on posters, bumper stickers, chocolate bars, commemorative coins, cups, t-shirts and sold not just at political events but at grocery stores and retail shops. He has own symbols, seals, and flags. Glowering from within a Maoist sunburst. Beaming from a Warholish print. Pondering the skies from within his own “O”, he has gone beyond what is appropriate and traditional for an American political candidate. He has become an infallible fetish object for some.

In the midst of a severe recession, Obama is throwing himself the most expensive inaugural celebrations in history, and his supporters can only call it “historic.” His transition has been marked by missteps, cronyism and connections to corruption, and any notice of this is a simply a “distraction.”

Then there is the issue of race. Obama is alleged to be an accomplishment for an entire people. How many will risk an accusation of racism by attempting to derail this accomplishment? Even when opposition to Obama is morally correct, many will be too scared to risk it. Who will mar the historic hype with mundane matters of fact or principle?

In short, America has an unknown leader that the media will not criticize and the Congress will not check, ruling during a crisis that has killed all restraint, at the head of a narcissistic cult of personality tied up in the untouchable subject of race.

And that’s a frighteningly rich opportunity for some really bad, really big plans to be put in place without so much a passing debate. If that doesn’t worry you just a little bit, then I can only assume you’re one of the people buying all that weird “Obamabelia” to celebrate a politician that has already been sainted with the title “historic” before he has even taken office.

[daffodyllady]

It is surreal. It feels like I have been transported back in time, and half-way round the world to Germany, to hear the inauguration of Hitler.

I just came from having coffee with a Christian friend who supposedly follows end times prophecy. She was gushing over every aspect of the innauguration and parrotting all the hopes for Obama professed by the media. I now have a major headache. I can't understand why she doesn't have more caution where he is concerned. Its just weird how so many are drinking the kool-aid.....

[momma9]

Tell me I'm nuts.

If your nuts, then all of us here are nuts!

[studybug1]

Did he use a phrase "summoning the spirit of ..." (whatever) ? I have heard him use that phrase twice now. That coupled with his new age references really gives me the a bad feeling.

[Mttw633]

My kids had a dental appt so I was sitting in the dentist's office and they all were drooling over the tv...a lady said afterward, 'oh and there goes Bush in the helicopter, yea!' And the receptionist said, 'he is sooooo charasmatic! And what an orator!' They asked me if I wanted to watch and I said I can catch the clips later.

[mark s]

If your nuts, then all of us here are nuts!

[pegmo]

A friend of mine said they are streaming the innauguration coverage all day at her company.....its everywhere.

[revelation2012]

Some of the people at work begged to bring a TV into the office for the inauguration. They were almost giddy with the whole thing. One went out to say our whole system of government needs to be scrapped and a new one on place. This woman has two masters degrees but seems to be completly ingnorant. I wanted to tell he she better becareful what she wished for, as that it what she is probably going to get.

I just cannot see this spell that has taken over the most people with this man. Some in congress are already looking for more terms for this man and he has not done a thing yet.

I was I guess fortunate and got a phone call from a client right when the speach started so I missed it. I do though believe this is very symolic what happened today. I am seeing films clips of movie stars pleadgin allegiance to Obama, as well of some frightening symbology to the 1930s in Germany.

anyone see the Dec., Jan. cover of Newsweek with Obama on it titled the "New Global Elite". I have not seen it close enough but would love to be able to make out the symbols all over it.

My heart weeps for the depravity and delusion,the denial and disillusionment.

I believe we just witnessed the birth of a new world order today.

... And the death of the America we have loved. This is so bizzare it's seemed to step right off the pages of Left Behind. (only we're still here to talk about it.)

And get this: on the radio, more than once now by people I am not familiar (either skipping thru channels or they are guests of regular shows) these people have referred to O's presidency as a "regime." That is really scary. and they don't even blink when they say it, just keep going. I've never heard of a prior president's term of office referred to as such! We generally reserve that word for dictators and the like. I keep thinking about how in the end, people will be marrying and giving away in marriage and going about their lives when, wham! just like that, the Day of our Lord is upon us. I know I knew this was coming but part of me too continues to think for a normal future. but I have no money now (I'm way over my head now in bills, please pray that Jesus helps us again and we are able to gather up what we can to weather the coming times ahead.)

Anyone know if the "state of Emergency" bush delcared for the inauguration has exprired or been removed? He has the potential to be a dictator with this in place doesn't he?

[El Gallo]

No; that was just a temporary measure to get more money released for the coronation.

[brett]

I do think we really have something to worry about with Obama.

He seems to have a dark presence around him, that's the way I see it. He's like the product of Hollywood, all focused on presentation, deliverly, grandness, style and glitz, the "cool" image. When I see men like this, it usually spells disaster for the moral character of the man. It usually means they are covering their true nature, which is likely corrupt and shifty.

When you see people gushing over him and falling in love with his charisma, what it really means is they are filled with admiration at how well the man can lie and manipulate, being captivated by the mans perfected skills in the "art of spin". I find this very weird, but in this Last Days world many are seekers of these kind of skills and will follow anyone who seems to hold the answers to mastering these skills. This really is a love of wickedness and the profit wickedness can bring and its the clear sign we live in the Last Days.

With Bush it was all in plain sight, the man you saw in the public eye was the same man in private life. He was a down to earth guy who was generally honest, decent and a straight talker.

Obama on the other hand seems to delight in wickedness and the "art of spin". I feel his character is highly corrupted and he will readily lie to the American people with no guilt whatsoever. This is going to be a difficult time for all of us because the one leading the world is going to be walking the wrong path and setting the wrong examples and leading the nation with a different set of morals (lack of morals). So I suggest we all prepare for whats going to be a tough few years of deception discerning and heavy fog on the spiritual horizon. There's gonna be a lot of deception floating around now and we're gonna need to be on guard.

[Just_Betsy]

I have a friend who was gloriously saved out of the occult. She was deeply, deeply into it, demon-possessed, the whole works.

She has pointed out quite a few things that Obama does which are techniques of group hypnosis (another thread is discussing that topic, though it points to a very scattered, poorly written article which my friend did not contribute to). She says he uses Neurolinguistic programming, and a host of other mind-control techniques that she recognizes. She also identified occultic practices going on amongst his followers in photos of rallies. Don't forget the shamans in Peru (and no doubt many others like them around the world) practicing magic on his behalf during the inauguration (another thread is discussing that, too). And Oprah's show calling him "The Light of the New Age." And his use of "New Age" in his speeches.

This man's "magic" is just that. Magic. His power comes from the occult, whether he's personally involved in it or not (though I personally believe he is in it deep).

I just got this from one of my email groups. It's rather chilling.

Please read the author's note regarding the following article.

Author’s Note, 1/6/09: The above article (or rather the article posted below, as I've arranged it ) has been featured at Snopes.com and many sites throughout the internet in the last two months. It was originally written as an email to family and friends on the night of the election, and therefore did not include supporting documentation or evidence that would normally accompany such an editorial. Had I known the widespread attention it would receive, I would have included the corroborating evidence.

The article is not intended to “fire up the base,” nor is it an affirmation of Republican ideals or talking points. I am not a Republican, nor am I a fan of George W. Bush. I am simply an independent conservative who has done an incredible amount of research, and interviewed a great number of people with information that backs up the points I have made.

It is my hope that readers will simply use the information to be aware. Don’t believe the article simply because it’s on the internet. Do the research. Educate yourself–preferably before you send me a poorly-written email calling me names like “Racist” or “Warmonger.” The information is there for anyone to find.

One last thing…before you dismiss the article as “Right wing hogwash,” you may want to go read what’s going on in Israel right now.

My Predictions for the New Obama “Presidency”

Now that America has shown us all that affirmative action even works in politics, I’ve compiled a list of things that you can probably expect to happen. These predictations are 80% gleaned from information all of us have access to, and 15% gut instinct based on many years of research, historical study, and being glued to current affairs. The other 5% is just anger at my countrymen’s stupidity– I admit it.

Websites and mass emails offering “free grants,” courtesy of the government and “Obama’s wealth redistribution.” Actually, this one’s a freebie, because I have an email with a date and timestamp of literally minutes after Obama was declared the winner, offering exactly that.

Israel will understand this election was the end of any type of assistance, military or otherwise, from the U.S., and will stop holding back their defense at the request of the American administration. Look for a first strike on Iran soon, as well as increased activity by the Israeli military in general. Israel is on her own now, and God help us all because of it.

Look for Iranian retaliation–against American targets. That goes doubly for other terrorist organizations. We just elected a man with the full endorsement of every major terrorist group in the world as leader of the free world. It’s the political equivalent of hiring a child molester to babysit your kids while you leave for the weekend. Not only is HE going to have fun with your child, but he’ll probably sit and watch while his friends come over and do it too.

Look for far-left justices appointed to the Supreme Court, effectively tying up the entire government in a trifecta of liberal humanism, the buzzwords of which remain empty platitudes like “hope and change,” and the ultimate goal of which is socialism–and soon, sharia law.

Military cases of troops being tried and convicted for killing the enemy in combat will continue to rise–and the conviction/plea-bargain rate will stay at nearly 100%, as the government seeks to use the best men and women this country has to offer as sacrificial lambs on the altar of global appeasement. Those brave and honorable men who currently reside in prison cells across the country, stripped of their rank, their careers, families, and their good name, will not taste free air again for many years. Their sacrifices and their stories will be forgotten by the general public, remembered only by those of us who continue to fight for them.

Look for the slow but steady erosion of rights you have enjoyed for your entire lives–all the while being told it’s “for your own good.” Restrictions on gun ownership, home schooling, encouraged dependence on the ever-growing federal government. More nanny-state provisions will be put into place to protect the ”disadvantaged” and the “poor,” (read: lazy, uneducated, unwilling to better themselves) even while groups like the unborn, the mentally handicapped, elderly, and terminally ill are slowly pushed toward euthanasia. Of course, this will be done with feel-good phrases like ”death with dignity,” “not wanting to be a burden,” and “merciful release from suffering,” all of which ignore the basic fact that we are killing people without their consent for the “good of the people.” Before you tell me I’m crazy, let’s just remember that Barack Obama was the ONLY senator in the Illinois state senate to vote against providing medical care for babies who were inconsiderate enough to survive an abortion. Also, look for taxes to go up. Yes, they’ll go up.

You think the economy is bad now? Just wait. You’ll have the most expensive “free” health care ever. Bread lines aren’t just for Russians anymore.

We have traded experience for color, freedom for slavery–and the irony is that the average American sheeple thinks their vote somehow righted an ancient wrong, somehow ENDED the spectre of slavery and ushered in some beautiful era of liberty. In reality, we are about to be less free than you ever thought possible.

I watched the faces of those crowded into the mob (excuse the pun) in Chicago. They stared at Obama like he was a god, an idol, a panacea to their every want and need. We have truly failed as a nation if we are at the point where we feel we must look to one man to take care of us all, to be our father figure and our sugar daddy. We have lost not only the “can-do” attitude of past generations, but the “MUST-do” attitude of our forefathers. We have allowed ourselves to become reduced from Patrick Henry’s proud cry of “liberty or death” to the sniveling, whining idea that we are owed something. We have gone from being the honorable defenders of freedom, to being told we are the problem.

The eyes of Obama and McCain were also telling. McCain acted with class and grace in his concession speech, offering the most honorable response I’ve seen yet. I don’t agree with all of McCain’s positions, but it cannot be denied that the man has served his nation–at permanent and severe detriment to himself–for half a century. His eyes were clear and sincere, honest. His speech underlined the very reasons why, of the two men offered, he was hands down the best choice.

On the other hand, Obama’s eyes were cold, calculating. His manner was smug and still carried the arrogance he has always had. His facial expression was one of barely disguised disdain for everything people like me believe in. His body language was smooth, polished–too much so. He talked of patriotism as though it is a value he is familiar with–and yet, his horrifying attitude toward the country he now leads is as well-documented as his friendships with those who seek its demise. He is charismatic to those who don’t know what to look for, and he is inspiring to those who cannot or will not think for themselves. However, too many who voted for him are guilty of the most dangerous kind of hypocrisy. You see, we are told daily that we must not see color, just mankind. (We are all family, you know–or so we’re told.) And yet Barack Obama was handed the White House on a silver platter by a fawning media, a bevy of foreign donors (who, to this day and in violation of U.S. election laws, remain nameless and unaccounted for), and a populace who voted based on color instead of right and wrong–even in the face of the most damning evidence against a Presidential candidate in many years, perhaps ever.

It is said that the people receive the government they deserve. Sadly, I fear that’s correct. We have become complacent, unwilling to see the writing on the wall, content to frolic in the warm water without bothering to notice that it’s been getting hotter by the minute. We are two seconds from a rolling boil–and perhaps it is already too late.

So, liberals, enjoy your victory. Jump around. Have a party, file for your free grants. Scream “Gimme my handout!” and make fun of those of us who fought to make sure your “messiah” didn’t get access to the most powerful position in the world. Just remember when it all comes crashing down: You own the White House, the Congress, and soon the Supreme Court. You have no one to blame but yourselves for the mess you just created.

As for me, I’m buying my handguns this week so I have an answer for those who will come try to take them.

A little about Kit and ER:

Euphoric Reality began in late 2004 as Kit Lange’s personal rant site for military news and politics. In early 2005, the case of Lt. Ilario Pantano made national news–and when his accuser showed up on ER to comment on Kit’s articles regarding the case, Kit realized she had a tiger by the tail.

Her continued investigative work on Pantano’s accuser and overall case helped vindicate Pantano, and since then Kit–together with Heidi Thiess, her co-writer from 2005-2007–was involved in breaking news on every major case of its kind, including Haditha, Hamdania, the Iron Triangle, and more. In doing so, a level of corruption has been uncovered within the military justice system that defies the Constitution our troops defend.

Reprinting the piece here -- but do link over to ER and read her. Kit also hosts a show on BlogTalkRadio every Saturday night. Here's the piece that got my attention. It'll get yours...
