A New Hymnody for a New Messiah
2008 October 4
Seriously…
As a rule, I don’t like Hitler/Nazi comparisons, but I don’t think the intent here is to say Obama is a Nazi or that he wants to exterminate any particular group of people. I think the correct comparison being made here is between the leader-worship propaganda of Nazi Germany, particularly involving children, and a similar adoration being forced on the children of some diehard disciples of The Obamessiah.
Creepy doesn’t even begin to describe this.
NO KING BUT KING JESUS!
mmmhumm… Yeah this was erie to say the least. I kept thinking, “what in God’s name is going on.”
Historically, when anyone has sought to change the entrenched powers that be, the method has always been the same – to retrain the thinking of people by having them identify with a “simple” mantra they can repeat and relate to. With JFK the slogan was “The New Frontier”, which quickly caught on among voters of younger ages, who thought the country was in a hopeless rut.
Right or wrong priority wise, the methodolgy of repeating something over and over again until it seems like truth, even if it is a physcological ploy, has always been an effective tool for changing minds. In modern times, we see this re-training of the thought processes of young developing minds in communist countries, and in extreme religious circles to reflect mainly corporate goals, rather than to emphasize critical individual thinking. Whether it’s subtle or overt, it’s an effective form of mob rule.
It’s particularly scary in this instance that many of these children’s parents aren’t overly concerned that the word “change” is being promoted effectively in this campaign in a variety of well calculated ways, yet no one jumping on the Obama bandwagon seems to know, or to care what that change will be. It is the rhetoric that moves folks emotionally that seems to count rather than the methods which will be ultimately used to make that rhetoric a reality. Unfortunately it isn’t until that reality sets in, that folks realize they’ve been had by the same old, same old physcological shell game redefined under a new name.
When will we ever learn?
Agreed, mbaker.
I can’t confirm if this is in fact true, but I heard a few days ago that this video was actually on B.O.’s official site! It was supposedly taken down after a few days because of the very reactions we are all having against it.
That this video was even made is frightening, let alone that B.O. actually approved it and put it on his site. Who does this guy think he is?
Maybe I don’t want to know.
