Thoughts At The Crossroads: The World Is Crumbling, A New World Is Being Born
Al Gore Vidal

Posted on 07/25/2016 10:41:23 PM PDT by Al Gore Vidal

It seems as if events are continuing to play right into Trumps hands. These events are only the tips of icebergs, the historical roots of which have been growing for some time. The forces that are shaping this election are almost biblical in nature. Everyday I am amazed how the world is boiling over and how our election is, in a sense, the vehicle through which the world soul is working. I can't remember any period like the one we are in now. Everything seems to be coming to a head at the same time with Hillary playing the villain and Trump, the Black Swan outsider who is riding atop the chaos, steering his campaign through shark infested waters at ramming speed. Assange says Wikileaks has the Clinton Foundation's emails, and like some rogue magma chamber hidden beneath the surface, they're set to explode with scandalous force capable of destroying her campaign outright. I'm excited at the possibility of Trump winning and even more excited by the idea that the Clinton's will finally be going down in a blaze of infamy, and the poison that is Obama, the spiritually and politically toxic evil that has been coursing through the body politic of this country for the last eight years, is about to be vomited up and purged, once and for all. I'm not a religious person, in the sense that I believe events in the human realm are influenced by higher powers, but I can't help but feel that these times are in the thrall of elemental forces of a transformational nature. Forces which align only rarely in the known history of our species.

This awareness both terrifies me and gives me hope. I feel as if a malicious weight, which has chained this country down for the last decade is about to be lifted, thrown off. My own spiritual consciousness has been saddled with a insidious dread since the election of Obama. A dull, sickened feeling. Like an alien has infected my soul and cast an evil pall over my very being. I've been inspired to pray lately. Not because my intellect thinks it will work, but because my inner essence feels the need to. I don't even know what I'm doing, I just focus on idea that the future is, for the first time in a long time, opening up and fresh air is poring in through the cracks in the prison walls, sunlight is tearing at the foundations of the evil edifice which has been constructed upon the shattered, but still living body of my country, my haven, the United States of America.

To others here I would bet that a similar energy has taken root in the most intimate corner of your being. Your souls too have been bled and defiled by a parasitic entity which feeds on human joy, hope and innocence. Life has become bleak, turned sour and menacing while still somehow moving forward in zombie like mindlessness. Corruption, venality, pettiness, superficiality have become the cultural norm. Any pretense of honor is mocked, commonsense ostracized, obvious good labeled as dangerous and retrograde. The lense through which the diverse peoples of this country once viewed themselves and others has been ground down and stained with the dark colors of greed, power lust and the desire to see humanity degraded to a level below that of animals. We have been casually accused of satanic crimes against the Earth by a star chamber of moral vampires, who crave nothing but to drain us of our blood, our prosperity and our sacred nature. Too narcotize our minds and pollute our hard won purity with the obscenities of globalism and cultural Marxism. To make us view ourselves as they view us, as useless eaters and breeders, as a virulent pest that threatens the very survival of the planet and all life forms sheltered by it, amidst the cold, imponderable vastness of the universe. They claim divine authority in their crusade to eradicate us. Their methods reek of violence and arrogance. Their goals to be eternally strived for and set up as the ideal for all of humanity. They will stop only when they have destroyed everything and everyone that stands in their way.

Hillary Clinton is the living embodiment of their longing for eternal tyranny. She has been raised up by the forces of history and her own amoral ambition to the height of political power. She is within reach of her life's goal, to wield political power over the most powerful country in the history of the world. She lusts for this power as an addict lusts for their next fix. If elevated to the position of president who here doubts that her diseased mind and hideously bloated ego will gorge itself in an orgy of graft and thoughtless effort. We know who she is and what she is. We understand her colossal hubris and the destructive, tectonic force of her vicious immorality and the evisceration of our rights that would inevitably follow her electoral victory. So let us take a moment as citizens,to reflect on this, our collective moment of truth. Let's acknowledge the weight and portentous quality of our time at the crossroads. Let us plant a seed of light in the ground of the future and take pains to see to its survival.

So the writer doesn’t believe that a Higher Power gets involved in political affairs on Earth? Interesting. The Founding Fathers certainly did. Their writings are laced with statements of their faith in a benevolent Creator watching over their Founding Deliberations.

Yup. I did not read the thread due to lack of paragraphs. Maybe it’s not part of writing class curriculum anymore.

This is a really good post - it just needs some paragraph spacing.

I have several problems with your thesis:

1) I am a Jew, an NRA Jew, a Republican Jew, a Conservative Jew, an Israeli (Israel Defense Forces) Jew.

It does not help when you blame the Jewish Rothschild type, the Jewish Banker type or the Jewish Industrialist type but also state that the Jews you know are OK.

Sorry bub, that does not hold water and is truly, Antisemitic. Maybe it's antisemitism “light” but it is still a form of it.

You even use the classic “The money changers are not only within the temple, they are within the power structure of all the world” link which means you also use the classical Biblical, New Testament, Catholic Church Temple Corruption Jews which were later used to murder millions of Jews from AD 30 to present.

This is all a throwback to Czarist Russia's “The Protocols of the Elders of Zion”.
Now, I will grant you that Jews throughout history have been radical dissenters, revolutionaries, Communists, high-educated and wealthy professionals but that was because Jews were denied many professions, persecuted and hounded throughout history.

All I am saying is that everytime you look for a culprit, you're gonna blame the Jew because he often times wields positions of power and ask yourself, why that is...

Nicely summed up.

We are now reaping the harvest of what Obama reaped for the last 7 1/2 years.

OK, I’ll go along with your argument. But how do you propose that we conduct the debate when the historical evidence puts so many of the Jewish people at the hurricane’s eye of so much of the malevolent events that have exploded around the world? I won’t list them because we’ve seen the Rogue’s Gallery, including Rothschild, Marx, and Trotsky, time and time again, ad infinitum, ad nauseum. And not only as financiers, but as apologists, organizers, and political leaders of tyrannical revolutionary movements around the globe.

Where were the Jewish people on display last week when we are having the fight of the century to elevate our last hope for saving our liberty to the presidency? We see plenty of Jews on hand for every Marxocrat event, including Soros and Sanders. How do we address this issue in a manner that doesn’t immediately engender cries of “anti-semite” and “jew hater”? This is important because we need to be able to identify the enemies of freedom, just like we have to say “Islamic Terrorist”, if we are to ever achieve victory in this war. Any suggestions?

I say this as a great admirer of Maimonides, Einstein, Frankl, Rand, Von Mises, Rothbard, and many other such figures, past and present. So there...

The democrats, the media, and politicians want to keep you small ,powerless and poor so that they can control you and everything. They want you dependent on government so that you vote in their politicians who hand out the government cheese (that's their religion and way to steal our wealth).

don't let them win, now is our chance , this election to break the chains they have us in. Fight with all your might ,work with everything you have to have Trump win in Ohio and Florida the 2 most crucial states that Trump must win for us to win back our freedom.

Work like a madman , donate to Trump, make calls in Ohio , volunteer at Trump headquarters. This is our last chance to make it in America, fight for freedom. don't let our enemies in the media , the establishment win Fight as if your life depended on it because this time it really does.

Jews traditionally champion “causes”, “Progressive” causes, causes that improve the Human condition.

That is why throughout history, they have been revolutionaries and parts of the engines of change.

Heck, the majority of the Jews bought Obama’s “Hope and Change” B.S., lock stock and barrel.

Abraham was a revolutionary by revolting against ancient Iraqi Idol worship and formed Monotheism. So the break from the norm started ~5,000 years ago!

Jews are at the center of the storm at all critical epochs in history because they have a DRIVE to reform, change, improve and make themselves a Holy People IF they adhere to Torah. That means honoring Torah and G-d’s commandments.

The main problem is this: when a Jew assimilates, leaves his (Star Trek “NOMAD”) “primary directive” he deviates into other realms with the same Torah zeal G-d gave him. In those endeavors he usually succeeds. Now, when the Jew adopts LIBERALISM blindly, it leads them down negative paths that, eventually work against the Jewish people, example Communism. Do you think the original Jewish “Reds” would see a Utopian system fold on them like a house of cards?

Yes, historically many Jews were idealists, radicals, visionaries, scientists, educators, rabble-rousers, owners of the means of production and Shtetl plebes as well. Jews are hated for being owners, industrialists, wealthy. bankers, intellectuals, entrepreneurs and at the same time, being organizers, paupers, "leeches" on society, poor, farmers, charity seekers, etc., etc., ad infinatum. In other words, Jews can be seen as Commies by the right, and Capitalist Pigs on the Left. If they're Lefties, they're Kikes and if they're Right wingers, they're Neocons.

Either way the Jew comes off as bad, bad, bad. The most recent example of this “Jew can do no good” outlook is that the State of Israel, no matter what she does to nobly defend the lives of her citizens are criticized by the West for being “too aggressive”, “occupying” a downtrodden (or so goes the PLO narrative) native Paleostinian people. So, even with Zionism, the ongoing hatred continues in another form and is criticized as being Racist. In the 1930’s the Germans told the Jews to “Get out of Germany and go to Palestine”, now they constantly say, “Get out of Palestine and go to Germany”.

How can I convince you, (if you're open to it) that Jews are not a Cabal, not Neocons, not just Bankers, not just Zionist Aggressors but a people who wish to be left alone to thrive?

Look what's going on now with the DNC. A Jewish Debbie WS tried to destroy a Jewish Bernie Atheist, Radical sh*thead!

It's wild...

How to continue with this thread? Not sure but all I expect is for you to get some perspective and understand that by saying your buddies are not THAT KIND of Jew and therefore, they're OK in your book as opposed to the Elders of Zion or Neocon bankers, that you are not giving my People a fair shake, (not that they;’ve ever gotten one)...

Thank you for your thoughtful reply.

I have always admired the Jewish people and their history. A current example of their ongoing positive impact is that Israel continues to generate the second-largest number of technical patents each year, second only to the United States. It seems to me, though, that the Jewish people would be better served if they did not allow their default public face to be that of the statist, collectivist, radical extremists, like Marx, Soros, and Sanders, instead of the rational, industrious examples we all know exist.

A good place to start would be to loudly and publicly disassociate themselves from the Marxocrats and the likes of Debbie Wasserman-Schultz.

Believe me, it pains me to no end to see the Jews, my people, fall into the same trap, again and again.

I sometimes I have more in common with Evangelical Christians than Liberal American Jews.

It's tough and I argue until blue in the face with my fellow Jew but, as it says in the Bible, the Jews are a “stiff-necked, (read stubborn), people” but what that REALLY means is that they are (or should be) LOYAL to G-d and Torah, not Marx, not Freud, not money, not ego but the original mission.
Israelis, who face death everyday are more realistic and almost all of them serve in the armed forces which means they know how to defend themselves, something new for the Jews. Israelis would have never voted for Obama and certainly do not support Hilliary because they UNDERSTAND HOW THE WORLD FUNCTIONS while their brethren in America are out of touch, too busy saving the whales to defend their lives and cause against Islamic and PLO pressures...

My theory is that humans have a Jew-hate gene. Any degree of complaint against specific Jews - as Jews - quickly blows up into total Jew resentment and hate. See the Democrat Party in regards to Israel.

Naming any elitist responsible for oppression and the suffering of humanity is fine. But keep off the label “Jews” and focus of individuals who are causing problems. Soros is evil. He happens to be a Jewish man but he’s not evil because he’s Jewish so why focus on that. The Jewish religion is not evil. Hitlery is Christian and she’s evil. We don’t focus on the fact that she’s Christian to identify her evil. Christianity is not evil. Hillary is evil.

Islam, on the other hand, is evil.
