OpEdNews - Page 5 of Article: Why Truthers Need to Vote for Obama

What in that describes a sociopath? Obama is not only "nice", but he has shown throughout his life that he truly likes people and cares about them, and about injustice and improving people's lives. Now contrast that with the likes of McCain, Bush, or Cheney, who have well-established, long-standing reputations as being cold-hearted and bullies. Before he entered the Senate, Obama's wife Michelle told a reporter, "Barack is not a politician first and foremost. He's a community activist exploring the viability of politics to make change."

Obama has chosen to run for president, despite this move having placed him at great personal risk. This is no small consideration, especially given the lingering racism and pattern of (NWO-orchestrated?) assassinations of popular black leaders. Furthermore, he is not out to prove himself to anyone. He's not out to prove that he's not a failure in the family lineage, as seems to be the motivation for both McCain and Bush. His motivation, I believe, is to try to accomplish some positive change within this country. It simply doesn't make sense to undertake such a dangerous endeavor, potentially putting even his family in danger, and realizing he will be "tested" and make "unpopular" decisions, when he could simply continue on a path as a very successful senator. What kind of person would volunteer himself to be essentially used by evil forces to perpetuate what is already a clearly mad agenda for corporate world domination? What would motivate any decent person to be president at such an ugly time in American history, if not to try to change things for the better?

When Michelle Obama let it slip that she had never felt pride in her country until that moment, seeing the country's enormous support for her husband, what sort of Freudian slip was that? Was she implying that she wasn't proud of her country because it wasn't yet part of the New World Order? Or, because Michelle is a member of Chicago's chapter of the CFR, might her comment have been in reference to having had an up-close understanding of the actual, insider's history of this country, and feeling sadness, not pride, about the state this country is in?

And when their preacher, the Reverend Wright, was yelling "God damn America," he was not asking that God damn the American people, but rather the forces that control this country, that wage unjust wars. Yes, perhaps he should have said "God damn the CFR, God damn the Trilaterlists and Bilderbergers," but the American government of late has practically become synonymous with those groups, so his comments weren't really that far off the mark. So how should we interpret Obama's close relationship with a pastor who was so angry and upset about how this country is run? Do we think that Reverend Wright is upset that our corporate masters have too little power in this system, or too much. Do we think that Obama is closer to Reverend Wright or to the Council on Foreign Relations?

In sum, you simply don't find a nice guy --who has a long track record as nothing but a nice guy-- joining the PTB in order to help implement their dark agenda for global war and enslavement. We are used to the John Connor or Jason Bourne example, of waging the good fight against seemingly impossible odds. But even Connor and Bourne eventually received indispensable help from those working on the inside.

But if Obama is such a good guy, what was his rationale for picking Biden for his running mate. As mentioned above, Biden has stood up for peace and justice in the past. Perhaps he has sold some of his principles down the river, but there is also the possibility that he might want to make up for any mistakes and redeem himself. He did, after all oppose warrantless wiretapping and the telcom immunity. But more importantly, he is the consummate political insider; having been in Washington for 35 years, he knows all the players and where the bodies are buried. His understanding of the NWO power structure and how it operates will be of invaluable assistance to Obama. Together they can attempt to fight the good fight from within the belly of the beast.

Had Gorbachev not been able to survive in the Soviet politburo, and convince the others that he was best equipped to lead the Soviet Union against America's cowboy president Ronald Reagan, there might never have been 'perestroika' and 'glasnost' that brought down the iron curtain.

WE'RE ELECTING A MOVEMENT

I confess, there is some small chance that I might be wrong about Obama. But even if I haven't entirely convinced you regarding Obama's character and likely motivation behind his presidential bid, there is an even stronger case that can be made for electing him president: his supporters.

By electing Obama, we also elect, empower and energize a massive, idealistic movement for change. And if we are ever to push back against the NWO, this is the most critical element. If Obama loses, the movement and enthusiasm for the future dissolves, and paralyzing cynicism sets in.

I realize that there are those in the truther community who, whenever they see an Obama bumper sticker or button, they think quietly to themselves, "sheeple." Though they might not be as politically savvy or informed on certain issues considered obscure in the mainstream, most of them want positive change just as we do. They are not the problem, but potential and very important allies. Many of Obama's supporters are appealing to ideals they see Obama as representing, and many tend to be youthful and idealistic, and their vision of the desired future tends to be an anti-Bush future. These ideals and desires are likely held in common between the many in the Obama camp and the truth community, and it is those ideals that can become the foundation for working together for change.

Aidan Monaghan maintains that Obama "has been manufactured to extinguish a genuine revolution." But that assumes that, if Obama disappoints his supporters by not delivering the goods, that they will just sit at home dispirited and sulk. The reason Obama has made it as far as he has is because his message of change resonates with people. They want change. And in the coming years they'll want change even more. The desire for change doesn't go away when it fails to happen. If anything, it makes people more restless and angry. It is only when people feel they no longer have a voice, or hope that they become cynical. It is up to all of us to make sure this revolutionary flame does not go out.

There are high expectations for an Obama presidency, and high energy and involvement in this campaign. It is absolutely critical that this hope for the future not be allowed to dissipate after the election, but it needs to be built upon and organized. And this movement needs us truthers to be among them, to talk them down when they cannot understand why some crisis has unfolded, as they will. We need to count ourselves among the organizers that will emerge and help create the mandate for change. We need to infect his glassy-eyed Obama supporters with a dose of reality while getting infected with their optimism and begin building bridges among them.

Presently, there tends to be a wide chasm between many in the truth community and the Obama camp. (For the record, yes it would be great if Cynthia McKinney could be elected president, but we all know that isn't going to happen.) We all need to pull together. If you're not crazy about Obama, remember that his supporters are not him. It may sound like a tall order, but for us to have the best chances for success, we all need to come together. For truthers, that may require getting off our high horses occasionally and having some tolerance for those who might not want to tolerate some of our ideas. We've all heard the saying, "united we stand, divided we fall."

And we know such alliances between two different worldviews are possible. What is the truth movement if not an alliance between libertarian Ron Paulers and commie pinko Kucinichites. We've figured out what's important, stress what we have in common, and set aside our differences in order to pursue what matters most: truth, rights, justice, the Constitution of the United States, and freedom from fascism.

We can expect that the PTB also recognize the power of alliances, and they will continue their efforts to keep us divided and distracted by our differences. Divide and conquer.
