Just call him ‘President Nimrod’

The more things change, the more things stay the same.

~ George Bernard Shaw, “Revolutionist’s Handbook” (1903)

Prologue

As I view all of the cataclysmic world events of today and how society lurches towards Perdition, I am reminded of the august words of that magnificent playwright George Bernard Shaw who, quoting the French writer Alphonse Karr, said, “The more things change, the more things stay the same.”

Obama’s modern lineage

“Change” was a mantra of President-elect Barack Obama, and “change” is what propelled him into the White House as the first black president of the United States by defeating a sitting senior senator from New York and the wife of the original “first black president,” Bill Clinton. Yet, I don’t see real change with Obama; I see Presidents Woodrow Wilson, FDR, Jimmy Carter and William Clinton, redux (part II) – but also LBJ and George W. Bush.

I see Barack Obama mimicking the fascist and socialist policies of President Wilson (1913-21), father of the League of Nations (1919), precursor to the United Nations (1945), whom conservative writer Jonah Goldberg called “the first president to speak disparagingly of the Constitution.” Goldberg continued on Wilson:

Wilson’s view of politics could be summarized by the word “statolatry,” or state worship. … Wilson believed that the state was a natural, organic and spiritual expression of the people themselves. … Constitutional democracy, as the founders understood it, was a momentary phase in this progression. … The State does now whatever experience permits or the times demand.

I see Franklin Delano Roosevelt (1933-45) as a precedent figure to Obama because he himself in his own words has promised Americans FDR, part II. FDR fulfilled Wilson’ League of Nations’ dream by helping to create the United Nations.

I see Jimmy Carter (1976-81) as a precedent figure to Obama. Despite all his vaunted rhetoric of “Yes we can,” now that Obama has been elected, his tone is much more somber, grave, almost depressing regarding the economy. President Carter called his economic times “malaise” and constantly chided Americans to “conserve energy,” put on sweaters, bicycle to work and turn your thermostat down. Now that’s a leader you can follow.

Finally, there are the Clinton retreads Obama is putting into key upper-level Cabinet positions. Why? Did not Obama defeat Hillary? Why is he kowtowing to the political hacks of the Clinton administration who squatted in the Reagan revolution of a great economy and took credit for it despite the fact that it was the Gingrich Congress and his “Contract with America” that held the Clintons’ (Bill and Hilary) socialist tendencies in check.

Ironically, it wasn’t the liberal Bill Clinton that ended the 20 fat years of Ronald Reagan, but thanks to the so-called “conservative” George W. Bush who single-handedly destroyed the conservative movement, derailing the Reagan Revolution and establishing a rejuvenated Bob Michelesque “loyal minority” for another 40 years of political irrelevance for the GOP.

Obama’s ancient lineage

Speaking of utopia, this brings me to perhaps Obama’s most interesting and least talked about precedent figure, the biblical Nimrod of the book of Genesis. Nimrod was the first great world leader mentioned in the Bible after the flood in the land presently known as Babylon (Iraq).

Was Nimrod good or evil? The Bible says little of Nimrod the man, but what it does reveal is very significant:

Cush was the father of Nimrod, who grew to be a mighty warrior on the earth. He was a mighty hunter before the LORD; that is why it is said, “Like Nimrod, a mighty hunter before the LORD.” The centers of his kingdom were Babylon, Erech, Akkad and Calneh in Shinar (Genesis 10:8-10).

Without getting too detailed about biblical history, how does Nimrod relate to the United Nations and Obama? All three were one-world-government utopians, meaning their worldview and political philosophy is predicated on man being the alpha and omega of all things, the sole master of his own destiny, and that mankind has the capacity through his own efforts (apart from God and morality) of establishing a perfect society here on earth. These pagan, humanist assumptions are repeatedly condemned throughout the Bible as heretical and diabolical.

What policies or ideas did Nimrod establish that are similar to the U.N. and Obama? Nimrod was a very significant man in ancient times, the grandson of Ham and great-grandson of Noah. Nimrod started his kingdom at Babylon. He arrogantly violated an expressed commandment of God for mankind after the flood to disperse throughout the earth (“Be fruitful and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it,” Gen. 1:28) and consolidated his lust for one-world globalism and centralized power at his stronghold of “the plains of Shinar” in present-day Iraq.

As a monument to his narcissistic power and deification of his divinity, Nimrod ordered built a giant “ziggurat”; an astrological tower, not to climb to heaven, as some biblical scholars contend, but as an observation tower to view the movements of the planets. Nimrod and ancient society at that time worshipped the stars and planets of heaven, another blasphemous violation of the Bible.

Epilogue

We clearly see though the fascist and socialist legacy of Wilson, FDR, LBJ, Carter, and even through the utopian tendencies George W. Bush, that Obama will enact statist policies designed to confiscate more of our constitutional rights and give them to the federal government. This is bad for all Americans and will only further denigrate our natural rights, or what Jefferson referred to as “Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”

We see in the biblical figure, Nimrod, an ancient precedent figure for Obama who was utterly narcissistic, pagan and utopian in that Nimrod was the first person to try to establish a one-world government. God was so against this idea that he “confounded their languages” so that the people who were originally of one language couldn’t understand one another, and work on the “Tower of Babel” was discontinued.

Likewise, Obama’s early Cabinet picks have been characterized by the propaganda media as “centrists,” though they are not. These careerist politicians, appointees and ideologues – from Hillary Clinton to Carol Browner, Eric Holder, Tom Daschle, Michelle Obama, Leon Panetta, and Rahm Emmanuel, are dyed-in-the-wool socialists with overtly fascist tendencies. They are utopians in that their sole objective is to continue the FDR revolution of making “We the People” foreswear more and more of our inalienable rights to become voluntary slaves of the leviathan State.

Let me end with a quote on the Declaration of Independence from President Woodrow Wilson, who wrote that “a lot of nonsense has been talked about the inalienable rights of the individual, and a great deal that was mere vague sentiment and pleasing speculation has been put forward as fundamental principle.” According to Wilson, “if a law couldn’t be executed, it wasn’t a real law, and that ‘abstract rights’ were vexingly difficult to execute.”

With these two utopians controlling the most powerful nation in the history of civilization – George W. Bush on the right and Barack Hussein Obama on the left, Jefferson’s “law of nature and of Nature’s God” has been perverted into Wilson’s “[law of] whatever experience permits or the times demand.”
