SFChron: Obama is a 'Rare Kind of Attuned Being,' a 'Lightworker'

Newsbusters.org ^ | 6/6/08 | Warner Todd Huston

[Mobile Vulgus]

Well, I have come to the conclusion that Mark Morford of the San Francisco Chronicle just threw away the last tiny shred of credibility he might have had left by dreamily imagining that Barack Obama is so omniscient, so "ethereal" and so messiah-like that he isn't a "normal" human being. Maybe Mark thinks he might be an alien from another planet, some trans-dimensional traveler, or maybe an angel come down in human form to lead us sheep into the promised land? I'm not exaggerating either. In his latest piece he calls Obama a "Rare Kind of Attuned Being," a "Lightworker," he says he is "ethereal" and "magical" -- hello Rush Limbaugh -- and feels that Obama is "not really one of us" in the "normal way." Morford and those who feel like him have lost all touch with reality and the sickness is spreading.

I think that columnist Morford is off his medication, or maybe he's just drunk, or perhaps he fell on his head recently? Or perhaps Shirley MacLaine came down off the mothership and stole Mark's computer... something freaky is going on there in San Francisco, anyway. Or maybe what makes me think something weird is in the air out there is just that Morford's latest editorial is one of the most amazing examples of the wild eyed ranting of the most whacked out Obamessiah believers yet to show up in print instead of just on the nutrooter blogs. Instead of appearing in a purportedly legitimate newspaper, this is the fodder for the fantasy land of a Coast to Coast with George Noory. Instead of serious political discussion, this sort of thing belongs on Jerry Springer.

But get ready to see this sort of insane euphoria spread as Obamessiah dons his no lapel flag vestments and deigns to appear before the people who love him unconditionally, uncritically, and uninformed of anything he really stands for.

I won't bore you with his whole, nutty piece, but here are just some of the lowlights of Morford's slavish devotion to the political Svengali that is Barack Obama.

• Barack Obama isn't really one of us. Not in the normal way, anyway.
• The appeal, the pull, the ethereal and magical thing that seems to enthrall millions of people from all over the world, that keeps opening up and firing into new channels of the culture normally completely unaffected by politics...
• Even Bill Clinton, with all his effortless, winking charm, didn't have what Obama has, which is a sort of powerful luminosity, a unique high-vibration integrity.
• I've heard from far too many enormously smart, wise, spiritually attuned people who've been intuitively blown away by Obama's presence...
• Many spiritually advanced people I know identify Obama as a Lightworker, that rare kind of attuned being who has the ability to lead us not merely to new foreign policies or health care plans or whatnot, but who can actually help usher in a new way of being on the planet, of relating and connecting and engaging with this bizarre earthly experiment. These kinds of people actually help us evolve. They are philosophers and peacemakers of a very high order, and they speak not just to reason or emotion, but to the soul.
• The unusual thing is, true Lightworkers almost never appear on such a brutal, spiritually demeaning stage as national politics. This is why Obama is so rare.
• Those attuned to energies beyond the literal meanings of things, these people say JFK wasn't assassinated for any typical reason you can name. It's because he was just this kind of high-vibration being, a peacemaker, at odds with the war machine, the CIA, the dark side. And it killed him.

Have you lost your lunch yet? Well, you may not have lost your lunch, but this pseudo religious tripe may be proof that Morford has lost his sanity!

Naturally, Morford had to revel a bit in his Bush Derangement Syndrome and regurgitated several slams against Bush, but the real message of this rambling little editorial was in this one little segment nestled deep in Morford's ranting.

(not coweringly religious, mind you, but deeply spiritual)

And there you have it. Like most extremists, leftists Morford pretends to stand against religion when all the while he is looking for something man made to replace it. Acting as if he is too smart, too cool for superstitious religion, Morford replaces centuries old teachings with this whacked out, new agie, childishness in this case built on a mere politician. But, even as he creates his newfangled religion, like all leftists, he has to attack everyone else who subscribes to a real religion. He must belittle, degrade and ridicule religious people everywhere.

Of course, Morford realizes how silly he sounds to be as starstruck as a 13 year-old girl that is infatuated with the latest rock-n-roll boy band. He even gets so defensive about it he preemptively calls everyone one who will look at him askance all sorts of names.

This is what I find myself offering up more and more in response to the whiners and the frowners and to those with broken or sadly dysfunctional karmic antennae - or no antennae at all - to all those who just don't understand and maybe even actively recoil against all this chatter about Obama's aura and feel and MLK/JFK-like vibe.

I see, so if you don't "get" the Obamessiah fever you are "sadly dysfunctional"? It seems to me that Morford is working himself up to consider "unbelievers" in the same way Torquemada did in the 15th century! Is Morford too far from burning Obama deniers at the stake?

This sort of unrealistic, deification of Barack Obama is the sort of thing that can easily propel him into the White House. It is also the sort of thing that can cause people to imagine his presidency to have been, in hindsight, a bitter disappointment. What sane person cannot realize the expectations for an Obamessiah are simply impossible for Barack to live up to?

You think Clinton's years in office were retrospectively considered the most wasted opportunity in a life time? Wait until a president Obamessiah turns the big White House key over to a Republican to hear the lamentations of the faithful begin to ring out. The "bitterness" will likely be unbearable.

So, I have an idea. Let's defeat Obamessiah and forego all the gnashing of teeth and wearing of sackcloth that will surely be the result of an Obama presidency!

And if Mark Morford has a nervous breakdown because of it all... well, I don't know about you, but I am willing to risk that happening.

I agree. I cannot see where they get the ‘rock star’ good looks. He’s UGLY.

[beckett]

No amount of abuse heaped on Mark Morford would be enough. He rates as the most repulsive commentator working today, a thoroughly untrustworthy, lying hack who runs on contempt for morality, unfairness to his opponents, and belittlement of just about everyone and everything he spies. He’s a creep.

[Salamander]

Thanks for verifying that I’m not just “jumping at shadows” or losing [what’s left of] my marbles.

[”Bad vibe” has to be the understatement of the century]....:))

[GulfWar1Vet]

No prob.

There are many others who feel the same about obama.

Kerry was a dumb-ass, but obama is different.

[Salamander]

He has cold, cruel dead eyes.

[GulfWar1Vet]

probably indicates the state of his soul...

[Salamander]

Or lack, thereof.

I have to stop talking about this now, for a while.
It’s making me ill.

Thank you very much for your kind and wise replies.

God bless,

Shari

[GulfWar1Vet]

LOL...I understand what you mean.

Have a great rest of the weekend!

He has cold, cruel dead eyes.

As do many who represent the culture of death.

Thank you, I will try.

Wow. I forgot all about that guy. Have you ever been to the “share international” website? This guy supposedly has a lot of influence in the UN too, and a bunch of commy/nazi ideas mixed with a lot of strange symbology, including swastikas and all kinds of other weird stuff.

Your link freaked me out, because I forgot that one of his few “appearances” over the years was in Nairobi, Kenya. Isn’t Obama’s “Islamic lineage” from Kenya?

That small pic of him almost looks like Obama with a beard. Quick, someone find out if Obama visited Kenya in June of 1988!

Hmmmm, June of 1988 means that Obama won his party’s nomination for potus exactly 20 years to the month of “maitreya’s” last known public appearance. (chills)

Obama would have been 27 at the time.

No, you are not losing your marbles.

Awareness is a gift from God.

It is called discernment in the bible.

[Salamander]

Thank you for your kind words.

Why He would give such a thing to someone as unworthy as me is beyond my understanding.

Because we are His children! He’s our pop and He loves us!

I have a habit of reading at least excerpts of New Age material with two things in mind. One is to “know the enemy.” The other is that occasionally, a nugget of truth will be found somewhere in the wrappings - probably placed there to deceive the faithful, but useful nonetheless.

Being a “lightworker” sounds like a good and noble thing. In fact we are told in the Gospel of John that Jesus came as and is the “light of the world.” The problem is, somebody's trying to upstage Him.

I'm not a gambler, but I know a lot of people who are. In competitive games, such as poker, the players look for “tells” - personal idiosyncrasies that betray a person's intentions - neuro-linguistics on a very practical level. Like poker, politics and religion have their “tells” as well.

One definite tell is the relegation of the person of Jesus Christ to simply a player in a bigger game. When someone tells you that lord maitreya has in some way superseded Jesus, or used His life force, or that the work of Jesus was somehow incomplete and needs this maitreya to fix or amplify it - it's time to grab your wallet - and run.

Another tell is moral eqivalency, or religious eqivalency. Saying that Christianity and it's accompanying morality is just as good as what humans have come up with by their own devices (or by mystic revelation from the planet Venus, or the Pleiades) is actually to deny the light shining in our midst.

Finally, the most “telling” of all is the inclusion of Islam as if it were some benign variant on the Judeo/Christian tradition. While other religions, such as Buddhism, Hinduism and the Tao do not seek to proselytize and have at their core many good moral principles, Islam alone stands as a perversion whose true disciples revel in conquest, conversion and an insatiable lust for violence and death in homage to their bloody moon god and his insane prophet.

The truth about Obama is hidden in plain sight. He and his lunatic wife “tell” it like it is:

“We are no longer just a Christian nation...we are also a Jewish nation, a Muslim nation, a Buddhist nation a Hindu nation, and a nation of non-believers.” - from “The Audacity of Hope”

We are not, and can never allow ourselves to be a nation that tolerates perversion and murder in the name of religious freedom. Nor can we forget that we ARE a Christian nation, and that it is that fact that is the root and source of our tolerance for others. That is something that all of the groups he identifies - save one - would probably agree to. This so-called lightworker has actively campaigned (as a sitting US Senator) for his cousin in Kenya who has supported a Jihad that has burned Christians alive in their churches and promised the imposition of Sharia law.

There's a reason that you get that “creepy” feeling when you look at him. You're not looking at a Christian spirit ..... it's something else altogether.
