George Herbert Walker Bush was expected to fullfill the dreams of his great-grandfather and 1933 coup conspirator Samuel Prescott Bush, but proved to be too sensitive to betray the country he had actually defended in the last World War (perhaps the ghosts of Radioman Second Class John Delaney and Lieutenant Junior Grade William White, who perished after the Bush-piloted bomber was hit, haunted the lone survivor). Bush raised his benefactors' taxes. They did not kill him. They replaced him with William Jefferson Clinton, who rewarded them by gutting FDR's New Deal and with the complete surrender of the Democratic Party to their control.
Class Warfare was finally over, the Middle Class suppressed--and the only shots ever fired in the long war caused but one casualty: John Fitzgerald Kennedy. After JFK, every President understood the message of Dallas. LBJ, Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, Bush I, and Clinton proved unwilling to die for the unprivilged masses. Bush II completed the work of his great-great-grandfather. Embedded traitors on the Supreme Court made sure he could and, after, banished the Republic to install international corporate fascism as the governing body of the United States of America.
President Kennedy, like FDR, was about to betray his class by scattering into a thousand pieces the instruments the rich and powerful had so patiently planted and cultivated since 1934. The quiet coup had to ratchet into a violent and singularly targeted coup de tat, utilizing all their embedded agents under a plan long reserved and rehearsed for just such a crisis. The 500,000 of 1933 had been reduced to less than a roomful of carefully groomed and rewarded members of the priviliged class and one from a selection of unaware monitored patsies, dependent on location of the President and ability for rapid response.
Kennedy died so that his successors would choose to live rather than be like him.
The warning of November 22, 1963 has worked thus far.
Which brings me to the great paradox that is Barack Obama. Is it just my imagination that he seems like one gone permanently tense, seemingly glancing furtively back over his shoulder, edgy. It is difficult for me to believe him to be less than a fearless man; yet he has uncharactoristically embraced and defended the Bush II wars and much of the horrible measures his predecessor employed. Under a shield of "moving forward", Obama refuses to encourage investigations of war crimes while he himself shuns torture. He strived to "give something to the American people" by crusading for heathcare reform, but makes us pay the healthcare vultures above fair market value for our own gift. He scorns the criminal syndicate that is Wall Street, yet won't sentence them make restitution of the wealth they scammed from us. And now, he has brought the elite into a national debt commission with what at least appears to be for no other purpose but to destroy the last surviving legacy of FDR's New Deal: Social Security.
Why? Obama does not seem one to value his own life above that of the best interests of his country. What has changed about the manifestation of "change we can believe in"?
And then I wonder: if President Kennedy had been threatened not only with the end of his own life, but that of his wife and children--would he have still stood in defiance of the bretheren of 1933?
