Wishing
"And if you lied, Would it fade out of your memory?
And if you died, Would they gather all around you?"
Hootie & The Blowfish Wishing Lyrics
(1) An ailin' Palin or a Trig deal? ... (2) Obama phenomena
Americans
are wishing for something that won't happen without a revolution of
mass non-compliance with government edicts - and that includes the
military refusing to fight the wars.
Meanwhile the machine
lumbers on toward its global agenda no matter who clutters up the White
House, and the truth tellers are ridiculed as misguided and godless - like Galileo.
(1) An ailin' Palin or a Trig deal?
Let me have this one, and you can have the next one. Is that what Sarah told Bristol? Or something like that?
Yeah, let's start with Palin magic today and get that over with.
Palin refuses to release her medical records
She
is a 44-year-old woman who insists that she's had no health problems.
How hard can it be to gather her medical records? And what is the
reason for her refusal?
I wasn't going to say anything about
the rumours that Palin's baby son Trig is actually daughter Bristol's child and
that Sarah faked her own pregnancy to hide Bristol's indiscretion. It
seemed too gossipy, too coffee-klatch, too day-time TV.
But having now found out that Palin doesn't want to disclose her medical records - a normal requirement for candidates in the P/VP race (although Obama's note from his doctor strangely
omits the most recent two years) - it seems she may have good (bad?)
reasons for resisting. One might be that she doesn't think McCain will
win, so it's all academic anyway. The other could be that the rumours
are true.
They have in fact been so strong they hit some of the mainstream, and even the conservative CBC reported on it. Coincidentally, it's reported that her daughter Bristol was kept out of school due to mononucleosis during the time of Palin's faked pregnancy.
If
the gossip is true, I don't have to tell you what implications this
holds for Palin's moral character and her veracity in matters of state
- let alone that even Bristol's current pregnancy and upcoming shotgun
wedding do not bode well for the effectiveness of the abstinence method
of birth control favoured by the far right Christian element.
Palin once supported classroom teaching of abstinence rather than protection, but now she thinks it might be a good idea to talk about condoms. It's always a different matter, isn't it, when catapulted out of the abstract and into reality.
I
have to say, though, that my rationale for veering away from the
rumours about baby Trig consisted mainly in that it's common knowledge
that babies with Down Syndrome are usually born of women older than 35.
But I
learn something new every day, or at least learn to look at some things
a little differently. Here's a nugget from the website of the Alzheimer's Society: (underlining mine):
The
chance of Down syndrome increases with maternal age; however, since
younger women are more likely to have children than older women, it is
important to remember that 80% of children with Down syndrome are born to women younger than 35 years of age.
About
John McCain not winning: Dick Cheney's endorsement could be the kiss of
death, but I don't know ... the people who put Cheney into power have
ways beyond ordinary comprehension, and they are very tight with the
Diebold people. A CTV article that reports the endorsement also says: <Despite
polls suggesting Obama is on the brink of a historic landslide win,
many Democrats remain nervous that McCain could pull off an upset.>
But quoted in the same article, a Washington Post journalist Charlie Cook was quick to put them back off their guard: "At this point, John McCain probably can't win without divine intervention," he says.
Isn't divine intervention Sarah Palin's speshialitee? Would it be God's will, I wonder, if McCain won through voter fraud?
Would it be God's will if Obama were assassinated and a state of national emergency precluded any election at all?

(2) Obama phenomena
I realize I may be waxing overly sensitive, too often hearing very weird things from candidates that seem calculated to remind me of other things:
(See Friday's blog entry Absolutely Nuts under the heading "Bizarre USA Election" and last Tuesday's "Distraction" under the heading (3) About the Obama assassination plot)
Joe Biden recently said something that curled my neck hairs again. He said of Obama, "This man has steel in his spine". (The Telegraph)
I came across Biden's comment right after reading that Presidents Garfield and McKinley both died from bullets lodged in their spines. (Neither died immediately, but both were eventually assisted to the Other Side by medical mismanagement).
In fact, history seems to suggest that only the most
"transformative" American leaders were assassinated - Lincoln, James A.
Garfield, William McKinley, JFK, MLK Jr., RFK, Malcolm X.
If
you've read my earlier blog entries you'll know that Biden likened
Obama to JFK, and himself to LBJ, and it doesn't help matters that the Globe and Mail has
now conflated Obama with John F. Kennedy. That's tantamount to inviting
an attack on him by white racists, or more likely a mind controlled CIA
assassin.
The Globe writer also says: "America has never surrendered to nostalgia", suggesting that
Americans are a jaded lot, always looking for something new, better,
different, bigger, prettier, glitzier.
But then they go and assassinate the change makers.
A reader pointed out to me in a private email the most emotion-filled section near the end of Obama's informerical (slide the bar over to 4:39). It is in black and white, and ends with a cameo view of Obama walking up a lighted staircase all alone.
This could be a message to Afro-Americans, designed to erase the possibly offending image of seemingly racist (USAToday; YouTube video)
Joe Biden from their minds, assuring them of Obama's special loyalty to
them and that he will be the one making the decisions - alone.
But
not only did it remind me of the common image of death and heaven -
moving alone in darkness, upward toward a light - it also brought to
mind that Alfred Hitchcock, genius of murder and mayhem, portrayed himself in a similar fashion.
The private reader email went on to say:
The film also opens with a field of golden wheat gently waving in the breeze - directly taken from Gladiator
- you know the movie about the guy who sacrificed himself to kill the
bad guy standing in the way of the rebirth of the Roman Republic?
Nasty Nasty, isn't it? I just cringe everytime I see it.
Never
in my life did I hope so much that the USA would vote repug. Obviously
I'd love for Ralph to win, but he will always be a fringer because he
doesn't play the game.
McCain
is just another puppet, but he won't have that dangerous emotional hold
on the people and things will have to be somewhat negotiated. The
political game would be somewhat more balanced. With Obama I figure
the public won't complain or question anything he does.
(Ralph
Nader is on the fringe because he isn't Hollywood; he isn't corporate;
he isn't pretty; he isn't glitzy; he isn't managed. He just talks about issues that matter.)
According to the National Review,
it's not McCain who would be Bush's third term, it's Obama. They go on
to list in detail the similarities. The only difference, apparently, is
that it won't be so readily noticeable in an irrationally loved figure.
Am I the only "leftie" who can see that, or am I not really a "leftie" or a "rightie", just somebody who can see straight?
If Obama met a tragic end people would be raving about how it was all "prophesied".
I would be raving about how it was engineered.
And it's probably true he would become like a Christ figure - not a healthy state of affairs. For
the sake of his family and because it would show without any recourse the mental degradation of the Land of the Free, I wish
Obama a long and healthy life - far away from politics.
I also wish for some relief from these oblique references to martyrdom.
