Barack Obama: This Is A Cult Building On Itself

This is all so stupid and tragic. But cults always are: those people found dead, wearing track suits and Nikes, as they waited for a comet to take them to the Mothership - and you couldn't talk them out of it for anything? Well. Depending upon your point of view, that's not much more far-fetched than electing a nobody, without a clear understandable record - but with a gang of well-known and disreputable allies - who's mostly known as someone who can talk for hours and say nothing, as President of the United States, right?

What did we always hear about the Nazi cult? "It couldn't happen here" they said. I say it is happening here, but in a different form - it's NewAge in feel and scope. True, these aren't Nazis, per se, but we have heard people say they'll at least riot if they don't get their empty suit candidate of choice. I've also heard whispers of Civil War. Whatever. Folks, if we don't understand what we're dealing with then we can't do anything to stop it. It's not enough to keep saying "This election, with this candidate, is different." We have to call it by it's name: this is a political cult, coaxing us to "change" and "believe" in a campaign that makes no sense. I've said it a billion times, in a billion different ways, and now I'm saying it again. Denying it is a cult is what it needs to live. This is a cult - made up of different movements - and it's building on itself to engulf us. And Barack Obama is now it's leader.

I'm going to give you three quotes - for context - and then come the links. You must click the links to see what I'm getting at. None of this is comprehensive (though this site is) and the second quote - by Michael Knox Beran - will give you an outline of the rest. This is the stuff we see every day; the cultish culture we've been forced, by the Baby Boomers, to grow up and live in, as though America has had no choice but to accept it as fact. Look the articles over for yourself and then come to your own conclusions. I don't expect the cultists to agree or "get it"; this is for everyone else (those who still have functioning brains in their heads) to try and wrap their minds around. Here we go:

“I saw him and I thought, ‘Oh my god, this is somebody who could lead us into a new era.’”

-- Nancy Watkins, an international student adviser at the Maharishi University of Management, talking about Barack Obama. (link below)

"...Nobody joins a cult. You join a self-help group, a religious movement, a political organization. They change so gradually, by the time you realize you're entrapped - and almost everybody does - you can't figure a safe way back out...."

-- Deborah Layton, Survivor of Jim Jones' People's Temple [Underlined emphasis TMR's]

"The rich, churchless, blue-state elites,...are hungry for the kind of secular nirvana Obama is serving up. Obama-mania is a political expression of the same impulse that underlies a broader movement, among the educated rich, towards a post-Christian spirituality, evident in such fetishes as yoga, feng-shui, investment-banker Buddhism, and tennis-set Sufism — the small-is-beautiful and green-is-good crazes.

A potent myth-maker, Obama is also a limited one. His New Age shamanism tells us less about where the country needs to go than about the spiritual emptiness of those among our elites who have been so quick to anoint him a new, secular messiah. The irony is that these same elites have used a draconian reading of the First Amendment to relegate the oldest and richest traditions of our spiritual culture to an obscure corner of the public square, a kind of refuse bin for slightly disreputable hand-me-downs from our benighted ancestors. They now look to the new swami to effect the miraculous regeneration of a spiritual waste land their own policies have helped to create."

— Michael Knox Beran, writing in the National Review Online.
