Imagine if Barack Obama were beginning a third term and were thus delivering his third inaugural address. Then Mr. Obama would feel confident that America was ready to support his best and most controversial ideas, and thus I think “Obama’s Third Inaugural Address” is the perfect vehicle where I can reveal my predictions about Mr. Obama’s “best ideas” as well as my predictions about the next 8 years under an Obama administration.
Consider that six of my more controversial predictions have already come true. (as of October 2009)
By piecing together President Obama’s goals from his words and his actions as of February 2009, and with a little help from mainstream liberal thought from his friends, appointees, heroes, mentors, peers, etc., I think his third inaugural address (in January 2017) may go something like this:
People, look. I’m through trying to appease the Conservatives and Libertarians. We tried it their way, and it didn’t work.
We must eliminate the loopholes that allow a business to relocate to another country and escape higher taxes.
We must eliminate the disparity that allows the people of one nation to drive cars while those of another ride bicycles, to eat meat while others eat rice, and to change the environment while others suffer the consequences. We can't drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times. That's not going to happen. When you spread the wealth around, it’s good for everybody.
We must eliminate the disparity that allows men to become a majority of our engineers, scientists, and elected leaders.
We must eliminate the greed that robs good people of their inalienable right to a home, a job, and health care.
We must eliminate the illegal lies of reactionaries on the radio, TV, and Internet.
We must deliver the justice due to Africans and African Americans in reparation for centuries of oppression, exploitation, and discrimination by Europe and the United States.
The solution is, and always has been, sensible sovereignty – an entity with the power to enforce its legitimate authority upon all the nations of the earth – a United States of Earth.
The United states of Earth won’t happen overnight because we have had eight years of the Bush administration, whose activist Supreme Court declared, by a 5-4 vote in the Heller decision, that the Second Amendment is an individual right.
My Supreme Court appointees are mere days away from overturning the Heller decision, and they have in fact already instituted most of my other Fairness Amendments, the greatest of which, reduced the number of senators in low population states from 2 to 1, and added a corresponding number of senators to the more populous states of California, New Jersey, Massachusetts, and New York – thus maintaining the Constitutionally mandated average of 2 senators per state.
Lower population states can therefore no longer block the election of the most progressive and empathetic leaders of our time.
Although the reactionary state of Montana has claimed a breach of contract and declared independence, they have not really seceded … They just think they have.
Montana just hasn’t been paying attention. The issue of secession was settled long ago, and besides … their grievances … losing a senator … paying for the bailouts of California, New Jersey, Massachusetts, and New York … These are entirely Constitutional and legitimate.
It’s like this, in Montana, they still cling to their guns and religion, and they have antipathy towards change and towards those who are different – but I am out of patience.
In spite of the good sense of some other state legislatures to take a voluntary 2 year recess to prevent the possibility of an illegal vote for secession … My fear is this:
Although the people of other nations have had the good sense to disarm, some misguided American reactionaries, who are on the wrong side of history, will initiate lethal force in a doomed attempt to prevent the era of global governance.
While it is true that my Supreme Court appointees of the last eight years are mere days away from overturning the Heller decision,
And while it is true that we have already banned all handguns, shotguns, and assault rifles,
It is also true that 30 million Americans still legally possess bolt action hunting rifles, muskets, and hunting bows, and perhaps more importantly, Americans still illegally possess an alarming 9% of their pre-ban weapons.
We can expect to peacefully purchase and destroy 90% of these hunting weapons.
However, eight years of the nationalist rhetoric of the Bush administration, and the continuing illegal conservative and libertarian propaganda, may motivate anywhere from 5 to 10 million Americans to join the ranks of the ongoing domestic insurgency and take up arms against their legitimate new world government.
In this event, any attempt to imprison the rebels, or freeze their assets and credit, would also be likely to result in mass violence.
In keeping with both of my Nobel Peace prizes, my goal is to avoid such violence because The United States of Earth is all about peace. Any rebels who embrace the angels of their better nature and turn in their guns will receive full amnesty with malice toward none and charity towards all.
We will use overwhelming non-lethal force to search out and destroy rebels' weapons, house by house, and if they fire upon us, let history show that it is they who initiated lethal force.
Should it become necessary, I am prepared to ask for the cooperation of our friends in China, Russia, and the rest of the world to impoverish Americans until the starving rebels gladly give us their guns in exchange for bread.
I have a dream … It is the Dream of my Father.
My dream is that the United States of Earth will usher in the end of an era … the era where the white man’s greed runs a world in need.
I have a dream … No, I am absolutely certain, that generations from now, we will be able to look back and tell our children that this was the moment when we began to provide care for the sick and good jobs to the jobless; this was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal; this was the moment when we ended a war and secured our nation and restored our image as the last, best hope on Earth.
In closing, I, Barrack Hussein Obama, would like to thank the American people for their support of the Emergency Executive Order to maintain Executive Consistency in a time of crisis. We are in deep crisis as a result of eight years of mismanagement under the Bush administration, but if we stay the course, victory is inevitable in our War on Domestic Terror, our War on Climate Change, and our War on Greed. I would like to praise the wisdom of the American people for not succumbing to the propaganda of conservative, Sean Hannity, or libertarian, Leeroy F. Dermit. They will not be bothering us anymore.
Recent Developments
This section is a small sampling of the sources that gave me the inspiration to write Obama’s third Inaugural Address. For example, Obama really said , “We can't drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times. That's not going to happen.” And yes, I am aware that Obama keeps the temperature in the Oval Office above 72, which prompted one visitor to remark that “you could grow orchids in there”, to which David Axelrod responded “the guy is from Hawaii”.
Obama also said, “When you spread the wealth around, it’s good for everybody.” Obama even said, “The white man’s greed runs a world in need.” To be fair, Obama was quoting one of his spiritual mentors, Jeremiah Wright, when he wrote this in his book, Dreams from My Father.
On 5/1/2009 I watched Obama say, “I can’t define bipartisanship as simply being willing to accept certain theories of theirs that we tried for eight years and didn’t work and the American people voted to change.” He has also said this many times before.
When Obama won the Democratic Party nomination in 2008, he said, “I am certain that generations from now, we will be able to look back and tell our children that this was the moment when we began to provide care for the sick and good jobs to the jobless; this was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal; this was the moment when we ended a war and secured our nation and restored our image as the last, best hope on Earth.”
One of Obama’s most revealing statements was made in a closed meeting with a handful of elitists in San Francisco, and was recorded by an unusually brave and honest act of journalism. Obama was trying to build a bridge in the minds of these elitists, who see small town Americans as poor, stupid, racist, cultist militia members – and white. Obama’s empathy is evident in every word: “Here is how it is: … You go into some of these small towns in Pennsylvania , and like a lot of small towns in the Midwest , the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nothing’s replaced them. And they fell through the Clinton
Obama decided that America needed a global Warming Czar, and he appointed Carol Browner to the newly created position. The New York Times reports that Browner said Global Warming is “the greatest challenge ever faced”, and that her views are directly in line with Obama’s.
Carol Browner was also one of the 15 members of the Commission for a Sustainable World Society, which is part of Socialist International. The nature of this Socialist international commission is socialist of course. They want Americans to be subject to a world government that takes precedence over the US government, and like pretty much every other socialist, they think that it is unfair that Americans eat more meat, drive more cars, have bigger, nicer, safer cars, use more energy, have bigger homes, have more money, etc – and thus Americans are bad. Therefore, Americans must lower their standard of living and give away huge sums of money – thus resulting in global fairness.
I have already thoroughly documented Obama’s historical opposition to the Right to Keep and Bear Arms.
How to Know When Obama is Lying
I have subsequently realized that I instinctively used certain authentic (Obamaesque) sounding words and phrases because unlike Bill Clinton, Barack Obama is rather methodical when he lies, and thus patterns have begun to emerge.
Whenever Obama says something like “failed policies of the past”, “discredited debates of the past”, or “we tried it their way” – he is selling us another whopper.
In fact, most of the time when Obama says that something is "failed" or "discredited" - it is not.
Likewise, when Obama says that his opponents are "on the wrong side of history", we know he is selling snake oil.
Whenever Obama says that something is “legitimate” or “Constitutional” – it is definitely not.
Whenever, Obama quotes anyone like Thomas Jefferson or Abraham Lincoln – he is lying about something.
Whenever, Obama says that he has been “consistent”, or that his critics “haven’t been paying attention” – he is lying about getting caught lying. The DC gun ban was perhaps the earliest and most obvious example. Obama said that he supported the DC gun ban. Then when the Supreme Court overturned it a few months later, he said that he agreed, but instead of explaining his contradiction, Obama said that his position has always been "consistent" and that his critics "haven't been paying attention." Obama did not lie about changing his position. He lied about agreeing with the Supreme Court.
Some new patterns I anticipate in the near future are the use of “fair” and “illegal”. I expect to hear Obama refer to actions and words as illegal when they are in fact legal and Constitutional. Consider that Obama claims that his critics are dishonest and harmful, that he is not a fan of freedom of speech or of the press, that he advocates some rather vague laws to make speech more fair, and that he stretches the Constitution (and English) far beyond its actual meaning. It is then easy to imagine Obama claiming that under the new fairness laws, some particularly effective criticism of him was illegal.
In the future you could look for these key words and phrases, or you could just note when Obama is not giving you any details. For example, what are the failed policies of the past, did they actually happen under Bush, were they actually crafted by Republicans, why does Obama say they failed, aren't they more or less the same policies that we had under Reagan, Bush Sr., and Clinton? Wasn't the mess with subprime loans, Fannie Mae, and credit default swaps created under Clinton and promoted primarily by Democrats? While it is true that almost everyone thinks of Bush and Republicans as failures, the new policies that contributed most to this impression were: staying in Iraq, high deficits, and the bailouts, and of course, media bias was also responsible. Now consider that Obama is not only staying in Iraq, but that he is also tripling the Bush deficits and bailouts. I guess we see why Obama is avoiding the details, and he can get away with this only because a biased media is giving him a free pass.
New Developments
Since I wrote Obama’s Third Inaugural Address, my predictions have already become closer to reality.
Months later I have discovered that at about that same time, Congressman Jose Serrano of New York coincidentally introduced House Joint Resolution 5 entitled “Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States to repeal the twenty-second article of amendment, thereby removing the limitation on the number of terms an individual may serve as President.”
Obama has appointed Harold Koh to be the top legal advisor in the State Department, and Harold Koh has said, “What role can transnational legal process play in affecting the behavior of several nations whose disobedience with international law has attracted global attention after September 11th -- most prominently, North Korea, Iraq and our own country, the United States of America? For shorthand purposes, I will call these countries the axis of disobedience.” Harold Koh also said that it is "appropriate for the Supreme Court to construe our Constitution in the light of foreign and international law".
Investor’s Business Daily has reported that Koh says the Supreme Court is now divided between "nationalist" judges who believe our Constitution is the only one that counts and "transnationalists" who believe "we the people" should be changed to "we are the world."
Koh is on the Board of trustees at the Brookings Institute, which recently published “A Plan of Action”, in which the term “responsible sovereignty” is used in place of “transnationalism”.
As for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms, the Obama administration is using the violence on the Mexican border as a pretense to promote an unconstitutional gun ban. Not only would such a ban be unconstitutional, but the Obama administration’s underlying premise that 90% of the guns used by Mexican drug gangs came from US gun stores is false. The reality is that most of the guns captured from Mexican drug cartels are obviously not from US gun stores, so they are never submitted for tracing. The reality is that only 17% of the guns used by Mexican drug cartels came from US gun stores.
Perhaps one of my most controversial predictions was Obama’s coming “War on Domestic Terror”, but consider that a mere two weeks later, the news media were breaking the story of a recent report by the Missouri Information Analysis Center (MIAC), which is a government entity created by the Department of Homeland security that identifies the warning signs of potential domestic terrorists for law enforcement communities. Not only did the MIAC identify militias (a Constitutional right) as a domestic terror threat, but they identified potentially dangerous individuals as those who display literature (i.e. bumpers stickers) for Ron Paul, Bob Barr, the Libertarian Party, etc.
Consider that a member of the Libertarian Party has pledged to never initiate force or fraud, so anyone who fears the Libertarian Party must be planning to initiate force or fraud or must be a really mean person suffering from a debilitating ignorance.
Apparently 70 so called fusion centers like the MIAC have already been created to combat domestic terrorism by gathering and sharing information. They seem to each be different, but have several common attributes such as excessive secrecy, ambiguous lines of authority, and the use of data mining and military participation.
A few days after the MIAC report, the news media broke the story that the Department of Homeland Security was distributing a report to local law enforcement agencies on the threat of domestic terrorism from right wing extremists. It claimed that potentially dangerous individuals might belong to one or more of the following groups: pro-lifers, supporters of the right to Keep and Bear Arms, federalists, and opponents of illegal immigration. The report even warned that veterans returning from Iraq may be recruited by right-wing extremist groups and commit acts of domestic terrorism. The report frequently used the term “terrorism”.
The DHS report on right wing domestic terrorism therefore stigmatizes about half of all Americans, so basically anyone who didn’t vote for Obama is a potential domestic terrorist.
The DHS issued an earlier report about left wing extremists that was more specific and included only a small percentage of Americans rather than everyone who voted for Obama.
My prediction in February in Obama’s Third Inaugural Address about Obama trying to forcibly end gender disparity in science and engineering began to become reality on June 23rd, 2009, when Ms. Russlynn Ali, Obama’s Assistant Secretary of Education for Civil Rights, said that the administration has the goal of making science and math classes 50% female. She said, "We expect to see gender parity".
On July 16th, I added the prediction that Obama would receive the Nobel Peace Prize. My thinking was based primarily on the fact that Al Gore received that prize based solely on political correctness in spite of Gore’s proven lies and the compelling evidence against AGW. Then, on October 9th, 2009, Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize, and everyone was really surprised – except for my readers of course.
Do I have ESP, or what?
Then again, as of July 18th, 2009, the daily tracking poll of likely voters implies that I may have been wrong about Obama getting a second or third term because people are beginning to realize that they have been conned. Obama has taken more action is his first weeks than some presidents take in their entire first term, and yet his approval rating has dropped steadily since he took office. In fact, the stock market has been rising since early March, and yet his approval rating began falling again about that time and has continued falling in spite of a rising stock market.
