Obama's Slave Ship
American Thinker ^ | November 10, 2010 | Robin of Berkeley

Posted on 11/10/2010 1:21:40 AM PST by Ronbo1948

When I was young and living in Manhattan, I saw an Off-Off-Broadway play called Slave Ship. It was an experience I'll never forget.

Unbeknownst to me, the performance was conducted in total darkness. The audience was subjected for one very long hour to the harrowing sounds of slavery. There were blood-curdling screams, whippings, and more.

Given that we were trapped in pitch blackness, the audience was held captive like the slaves, compelled to experience the same terror, helplessness, and despair. This was undoubtedly the intention of the play.

Undoubtedly or indubitably?

FWIW, some Satanic rituals are used to release bound demons involve a gathering of souls, in a dark place, then a blood letting of some sort, and if a believer appeals to anything other than God, might end up loosing a bound demon rather than letting legitimate authority reign.

Whenever exposed to this type of activity, and it might be in the most innocently apparent situation, simply remain in faith through Christ and let Him handle the situation, such that the demon remains bound.

Also be aware and very discerning of those who orchestrated the event. They may be wolves in sheeps’ clothing.

A Roman gentleman got rid of his rebel blood by cutting a vein in the warm bathtub water to let it all drain out.

This made the Senate and People of Rome (SPQR) very happy that he had spared the Republic an expensive treason trial.

For some reason I keep thinking of the mad Roman Emperor Caligula who married both his sisters, appointed his favorite horse to the Senate and bankrupted the country.

I don’t know if Obama married his sister, but he has plenty of lackey jackasses in the Senate and he has sent the USA into bankruptcy.

The “Spooky Dude” George Soros is the puppet master who pulls Zero’s strings behind the scenes.

Indeed, Zero is exactly that, a low I.Q. psychopath beta male parasite who must be managed at every moment by his superiors.

Someone who didn’t read the review before the performance?

This happened to me once years ago while visiting the “Big Apple” when I purchased some cheap tickets to a off Broadway play entitled, “Waiting For Godot” - which was a play with two bums in a junkyard who for two hours engage in weird conversation while waiting for Godot, who never shows up.”

Rule Number One: READ THE REVIEW BEFORE YOU BUY THE TICKETS!

Does OweBama even have a staff anymore? I heard he has no economic advisers and I don’t beleive there is a search to replace Rahm Emmanuel. I think Axelrod is on the outs too.

I guess you don’t need much staff when Soros is directing your agenda.

I read the Thinker article before the post on FR. To the person who sent it to me, I responded with this:

“A good read and I think she nailed it.

BOR said the other night after studying him for a year, he cannot figure the guy out. Come on BOR, you know as well as anyone, the guy is a racist muslim dedicated to destroy this country and the conservatives whom he views as oppressors. I’ve seen the grimace on his face as he speaks of his “enemies” and frankly I am heartened he considers me his enemy because I am. I cannot believe this country elected such a vapid scum for president and think back to the famous statement: one would go broke betting on the intelligence of the average american. We have got two more years till we rid ourselves of this punk.

Yesterday I noticed a sticker on the back of a car: African American for Obama. Think what you want, but 95% of the blacks will vote again for the POS because he looks like them. If they took the time to listen to him, they would learn he is not one of them, has no slave heritage, and is not even Christian as most blacks are. Frankly, in the 1700s he would have been one of the muslim dealers trading them to the slavers for trinkets. I wonder how I would be viewed if I had a sticker which read Caucasian American for anyone BUT Obama?”

It’s important to remember it was blacks who sold other blacks into slavery. Without blacks running the slave making machine there would have been no slave trade. Whites and arabs weren’t going into the jungle to capture them.

In the south, there were thousands of blacks who owned slaves. One of the first free blacks actually became a slave trader and a slave breeder. He sold his own offspring into slavery.

“I don’t know if Obama married his sister...,” That option must not have been available, or he’d never have married Michelle.

I’ve read most of Robin’s articles that have been posted here. This is absolutely the strongest one she’s written about the Illegal and how absolutely evil, hate-filled, racist, and anti-Ameican he is. Indeed, it seems this is a conclusion she has only been gradually anbd reluctantly coming to.

Am I the only one who recognizes this imagery as BS? Why would owners torture their slaves? Do we torture our dogs or horses? Sure there are some crazy people who do but they are few and far between. Why would anyone imagine that the situation would be worse for slaves?

Who owned the slave ships? What part of the country were their home ports located?

“Slavery remains a problem. Hundreds of thousands of Mexicans managed to end up as agricultural slaves in the United States in just the last few years.”

I lived down in Yuma, AZ for a few years. If there are “agricultural slaves” then slave masters are Mexican-American. The farmers down there contract out the harvest and it is all controlled by Mexican-Americans. I had the chance to talk to one 23 year old Mexican-American who had a refrigeration licence making $125,000 per year working on refrigerated trucks. He was telling me the average pay for a migrant worker was between $25,000 and $35,000 per year. They don’t get paid by the hour . They get paid by how much they pick.

I just looked around the internet to find some answers. Not sure who exactly owned the slave ships. Even though slavery was outlawed by most nations the slaves were smuggled by ships from many different countries, e.g., Spain, Portugal, France, England, the US and others. Arabs were active in the slave trade (they still are) but I’m not sure if any of their ships came to South America, the Caribbean or the US.

In the US it appears many of the ships were built in New England where there was an abundance of timber. Money to build the ships came from all over. As smugglers, the flags they flew under were flags of convenience.

It would be good to hear from other freepers who have some real knowledge of this subject.
