The Obama Spell Is Broken
The Wall Street Journal ^ | January 31, 2010 | FOUAD AJAMI

Posted on 02/01/2010 2:42:07 AM PST by Puzzleman

The curtain has come down on what can best be described as a brief un-American moment in our history. That moment began in the fall of 2008, with the great financial panic, and gave rise to the Barack Obama phenomenon.

--snip--

There had been that magical moment—the campaign of 2008—and the true believers want to return to it. But reality is merciless. The spell is broken.

You're right, the Nazis immersed and bathed in the occult.

Hitler, Himmler, Goering, Hess, etc were also. So were the SS. The runes, ceremonies, phrases, and teachings were occult.

Meaning, they were Satanic.

Before Germany awoke from its spell, its nation was smashed, lying in ruins, and millions were dead. Its children were maimed, and its cities in rubble. One quarter of its people then fell into Soviet slavery for 44 years.

Let us pray that Americans turn their back on evil, and turn back to God soon, lest we suffer a similar fate.

I would not be surprised at all to learn that the Obama's are into occult practices. Astrology is definitely evil (and yes Nancy Reagan was playing with evil too). The Obama race Black Liberation Cult was also massively evil.

It was joined at the hip with the Nation of Islam, and a quick study of the two "churches" find they are almost identical in every core belief.

If a person believes in a so called protective amulet or mantra against evil one can evolve a self faith and the will to not be led astray, think its BS? then what of the crucifix, or Star of David?

There is right in front of us the object in some form that we can anchor our faiths against this evil that has glided in like a dark vague spirit.

Stay out of that stuff. Evil is dark but it ain’t vague. Satan is its name.

I like Leos, my half brother if I remember right has the same supposed birthday as Obama, same year as well.

He was always like a big ox, not the brightest but liked by everyone, his strong points were that he would never stop at something if he had his heart in it.

In looking at my sibling brother I see a similar thing with Obama, and a weakness...

We as patriots do have a way to drive a figurative stake in his heart, we must hammer home the hopelessness of his ill fated decisions, every day we must re-hash his mistakes, his blurbs, his stumbles. Every day make it “Obamas fault”

Campaign= the magic days. So lets hire Ploufe and go back to those magic days where O was worshiped. (But it’s not about me)

Name each president who said the following:

“I am not a crook.”

“I did not have sexual intercourse with that woman.”

“I am not an ideologue.”

The guy is a veritable Mulligan Stew of psychological pathologies. Even a shrink as bright at Charles Krauthammer has trouble finding enough words to adequately describe what’s going on in the guy’s head.

My take is that he is a rare form of idiot savant whose “gift” is an urge to engage in mindless and continual eloqution and public oratory. His egocentrism and narcissism — probably resulting from having been abandoned first by his father then his mother — found in ALL politicians has reached a far higher level in him than in others and requires him to be “on” and the center of attention at all times.

Couple that with the problem described by microbiologist P.B. Medawar that

“(…) the spread of secondary and latterly tertiary education has created a large population of people, often with well-developed literary and scholarly tastes, who have been educated far beyond their capacity to undertake analytical thought”

and you have a formula for the creature known as Obama.

He is as lacking in the ability to think critically as are the voters who put him in office and who now bear full responsibility for the possibly irreparable damage now being done to this country by Obama and his minions.

Believe me I do know of the magnetic pull the occult can have, for many years I allowed it to control my actions and decisions.

But in doing so I also am aware of others that throughout history embrace it as a focal point of gaining absolute power over the people. And there is no denying that those in power never stop at a certain level, absolute powers corrupts absolutely.

We as individuals that are for the most part still Free Men and Women and are capable of viewing ideology as just that and are not weak willed or likely to follow the Judas goat to slaughter can use this as a tool to ultimately erode the powers of evil.

I guess its ultimately a good vs. evil war mantra we must adopt but never the less we do know that evil exists in many disguises. Myself I trust my instincts right now, doubt can be our weakness.

What kind of weapon to use against evil? Beats me but I have faith and thats all I want right now.

I'm not an ideologue! I'm not! The president said. The Democrats murmured and shifted from foot to foot scratching their heads. They thought to themselves "so why did we vote for this man again?"

“Even a shrink as bright at Charles Krauthammer has trouble finding enough words to adequately describe what’s going on in the guy’s head.”

The description “egomaniac” works for me, and the delusional king obuma wears the description well.

I fully expect that soon, king obuma will make a public utterance that will leave no doubt in anyone’s mind that he’s a psychopathic maniac.

Acts 12:

21And upon a set day Herod, arrayed in royal apparel, sat upon his throne, and made an oration unto them.
22And the people gave a shout, saying, It is the voice of a god, and not of a man.
23And immediately the angel of the Lord smote him, because he gave not God the glory: and he was eaten of worms, and gave up the ghost.
24But the word of God grew and multiplied.

Nimrod, Ramesses II, Nebuchadnezzar, Herod, were examples of that.

Sorry, there will still be devotees of the Anointed One...to wit, my three very lib sisters who know practically nothing at all about what’s going on in the world much less how they and their country became very well off. Two of my sisters have become very rich working for a major corporation. Neither of them has the slightest idea why capitalism is the best system in the world and why Obama is a threat to it. There’s lots more like them. Our hope is in persuading independents of the ineptness of Obama. It appears to be working.

Mussolini and Napoleon were Leos.

[and you’d all be my fearful, loyal subjects if I got the chance]....LOL

A lot of people love Leos.

“High” Leos are noble, generous, loyal born leaders; charming and charismatic and people willingly follow them.
“Low” Leos are base, selfish, manipulative tin horn petty dictators.

We, however, usually can’t stand each other.

Having too many “Kings and Queens” in one room can become...um, “strained”....LOL

[The astrological “key phrase” of Leos is “I WILL”, not surprisingly...just look at dear reader’s blatant ignoring of the will of others]
