Obama and the Bogeyman



Since time immemorial wannabe dictators and despots have repeatedly used the same tactics to achieve their tyrannical but disguised intentions.

Their collective agenda generally consists of imposing some twisted ideology or nefarious system of rulership on a society duped by lies, real or manufactured threats to the state and the fracturing of societies along racial, religious, political or economic lines. Among the more favoured devices is the creation of a bogeyman in the country. The bogeyman can be presented as internal or external threats from which everyone needs protection. The bogeyman is not only a frightening figure designed to scare children. It is also used to scare entire populations. Adolf Hitler marshalled the German nation to his cause by using the Jews as his bogeyman. They were portrayed as ruining the country. They were blamed for the Depression and the plight of the mostly unemployed German people at the time. The call to arms against them was incessant, vicious and dehumanizing. By dehumanizing the Jews, Hitler and his supporters made it possible to murder more than six million of them. Closer to our own time we have seen the likes of Ugandan Dictator Idi Amin who used the prosperous East Indian community as the country’s bogeyman. This allowed him to kick them out of the country then seize their money, property and businesses. Once they were gone, he turned on his own people. Wacky Robert Mugabe in Zimbabwe used the white farmers as his bogeyman. He seized their farms, forced them to leave the country, turned the farms over inexperienced former gunmen and the country, with the exception of the ruling class, has not enjoyed a decent meal since. The country is now a wasteland of poverty and despair but still getting money from the Western democracies to ensure the survival of the Mugabe dictatorship. In Venezuela Hugo Chavez, turned on the United States as his bogeyman and whipped the country into an anti-American frenzy, taking freedom with him into a lifetime strangle-hold on that country’s presidency. U.S. President Obama would probably argue with me that Chavez is not such a bad fellow since he reads and distributes books to visiting politicians. He probably also has a firm handshake. So what does all this have to do with the United States and President Obama? You have to look at Obama’s activities during his first 100 days in office then decide for yourself just what is going on. Obama swept into office while the nation’s media was busily promoting a fear campaign involving the fastest moving recession known to man. The media fear campaign drove American society to suddenly cut billions of dollars out of the economy sending it into a tailspin. Some blame the recession on the Bilderbergers since they are said to control who becomes president in the U.S. I am not a conspiracy theorist but suggest you check them out for yourself. So here, then you have the bogeyman emerging from the shadows during a tight election campaign. Meanwhile, en masse, the U.S. media aligns itself with Obama ensuring he gets elected. Follow this closely because several bogeymen are unleashed against the American people almost simultaneously. They are:
  • The mainstream media propagandist creates the “racist” bogeyman. Anyone who disagrees or speaks out against Obama is labelled a racist. That tactic persists to this day.
  • The automotive sector is cast as a corporate bogeyman that is not to be trusted and needs the guidance of business experts in the White House to control them. Suddenly the American government is dictating how companies must be run if do not couple they won’t get any money. The Communists tried this for years and created the Lada and some of the shoddiest products in the World. You must remember the Lada? It was designed to become a tractor for use in growing your own crop of turnips when needed, which was almost always, in the People’s Paradise.
  • Gun owners were the next target for demonization. Several recent shooting events are giving gun opponents all the ammunition needed to convince a supportive administration that Second Amendment rights must be trampled down and citizens disarmed. Disarm the population and you can do pretty much anything you like.
  • A really interesting bogeyman is the rich. Taking a page right out of Karl Marx’s The Communist Manifesto, President Obama has targetted the rich for special tax attention. The flaw in this Brave New World thinking is, it is designed to make the poorer folks think they are going to get some of the money from the rich. At only five per cent of the tax-paying population, unfortunately there are not enough rich people to meet the demand. It just means more people will be poorer. After all, who creates the jobs and opportunities for the poor or middle-class? The government? No, the rich. In the Communist countries they had equality. Everyone was poor except for, you guessed it, the politicians. The smart people fled to the U.S., Canada and other countries where they could operate businesses and create wealth and jobs.
  • Current external bogeymen are threats posed by Iran’s nuclear aspirations, Pakistan, a country armed with nuclear weapons, and precariously close to falling into the hands of the Taliban, Afghanistan and trade with Canada. Since the Obama administration has launched a Buy American campaign, I am assuming he does not want Canadian oil or natural gas and possibly even water in the near future. I suppose if one does not want to pick a fight with an enemy one can always pick a fight with a friend. It’s safer that way.

Media-created Obamaphoria

Another ploy used by would-be dictators is the Cult of Personality. Remember Moa Tse-tung in China? Huge pictures of him were pasted everywhere. His thoughts were published; his every move followed, his every speech praised. It was incessant. Sound familiar? This is standard fare from the Guide to Being a Dictator. They can do no wrong. They are compared to great leaders of the past. Come to think of it, is Obama not being hailed as a reincarnation of Abraham Lincoln? Can you recall any other president who got more fawning media exposure than President Obama? He is seen in hamburger shops like an ordinary guy. He fires people in private industry. He walks on water. If you disagree you’re a scummy racist deserving of death. His wife Michelle is being portrayed as a powerhouse of everything stylish; exceptional mother (move over Mother Theresa) concerned about the lesser being around her and is everything an American woman should aspire to be. The kids are pictured as upper intelligent, beautiful, fashion savvy and dog-friendly while still just your average American kids. With all the evidence floating around out there as to the Obama agenda, it surprises me that more Americans are not waking up and smelling the coffee. Yes, many are. There are signs of it everywhere in the new media. Warnings about Obama’s intentions were publicized before the last election but the media-created Obamaphoria overwhelmed common sense and what little scepticism actually reached the voting public. One last point. During the election campaign Obama rode into the White House on the mantra of Change/Yes We Can. Who knew what that meant? Change what, who? We can what? Change? Change can be good, bad or indifferent. Again, another deceitful practice. Sound like you are promising something that you are not. Tell people what they want to hear. But then, nobody dared call him on it. They were all too busy chanting. And it’s really too bad, because a long and difficult road lies ahead for those who are brave enough, conscious enough and incensed enough to reverse the direction in which the American people are being deceived into taking.
