In
Virgil’s epic poem, the Aeneid, the story is told of Odysseus’s plot
to conquer Troy, thus ending 10 years of defeat for the Greeks. The
Greeks’ plan was to trick the citizens of Troy (the Trojans) into
believing that the giant wooden horse they had constructed was a
gift from the goddess Athena. They left their “gift” outside the
city and withdrew their troops and ships, the better to convince the
Trojans of their benevolent intentions.
At
first wary and suspicious, the Trojans came out from behind their
walls to inspect the enormous horse. Once outside, they met a man
named Sinon, who gained their trust by telling them that he had
escaped from the murderous Greek regime He was so credible that when
he suggested to the Trojans that they bring the wooden horse inside
the city, they did. But unbeknownst
to the trusting Trojans, Sinon was a secret agent of the
Greeks.
Once
inside the city, the Greek warriors, under cover of darkness,
emerged from hiding inside the horse and quickly opened the gates of
Troy to allow the rest of the Greek armies to invade the city,
whereupon they promptly slaughtered the Trojan men, enslaved the
women and children, and completely destroyed the city of
Troy.
The
colossal ruse of the Trojan Horse – which resulted in the downfall
of the great and mighty city of Troy – is similar to the ruse that
increasing numbers of Americans believe Barack Obama has effected
with his election to the presidency, specifically that the
“warriors” of his campaign – including his longtime radical
associates, a leftist media and a now-silenced conservative media,
as well as far-left organizations like ACORN,
et al. – have fooled a largely-gullible electorate into believing
that the man who offered “hope” and “change” meant something quite
different than they were led to believe.
Contrast
Virgil’s poem to what is happening today. In the liberals’ epic
scheme, the story is about conquering Republicans, thus ending
almost 10 years of electoral defeat.
The
liberals’ plan was to trick the citizens of the United States into
believing that their moderate-toned, multi-racial candidate was a
gift to America, a way to expiate their collective guilt over racial
discrimination and “heal the wounds” that, in their view, our big
bad country was guilty of inflicting. They and their media lapdogs
presented this “gift” with grandiose language and warm-and-fuzzy
images, the better to convince the electorate of his benevolent
intentions.
At first
wary, Americans ultimately bought the media hype. Once they took a
closer look, however, they were introduced to many Sinons – Tony
Rezko, Jeremiah Wright, Rashid Khalidi, Louis Farrakhan, et al. But
the “gift” assured them that he was being victimized by these
people, and so the American people bought the “victim” thing and
rewarded him with the nomination to be president.
Once
Obama became the putative president-elect, his minions emerged not
under cover of darkness but in broad daylight, expressing their full
intentions to follow his lead in converting America into their
dreamed-of Socialist paradise, complete with nationalized banks,
health care, the auto industry, etc.; the reinstatement of the
so-called Fairness Doctrine, which would effectively annihilate all
dissenting opinion; the institution of a domestic police force which
has eerie echoes to the repressive goon squads of the Russian empire
and other Communist and Socialist regimes; bringing about the
massive redistribution
of wealth,
and
spitting in the face of our most precious founding document, the
U.S. Constitution.
Obama’s
hope, it is now apparent, is for a “globalist” America. And his
change, it is now apparent, is the polar opposite of free-market
capitalism, a free press, freedoms of religion, assembly, etc., any
semblance of respect
for the United States Constitution, and, who knows, a resurrection
of his revolutionary Marxist black liberation theology to replace
the Judeo-Christian tenets upon which our country was
founded.
The most noticeable
characteristic of Obama,” says Dr. Kate, in a
chilling article entitled The Trojan
Candidate, ”is his profound lack of respect for America as shown
with his behavior on the flag pin, the failure to observe decorum
regarding the national anthem, the fake presidential seal, the
printed announcement of his speech in Germany, the upside down flag
on the tickets and behind Biden at the Convention, his airplane with
painted-over American flag, and his detached and callous appearance
at Ground Zero. By this behavior, Obama is mocking
America, cheapening its decorum and symbols.”
Dr,
Kate reminds her readers that it was one of Obama’s role models,
Saul Alinsky, who wrote Rules for
Radicals
and who believed that change
“meant a Marxist revolution achieved by slow, incremental,
Machiavellian means which turned society inside out. This had to be
done through systematic
deception, winning the trust of the naively idealistic middle class
by using the language of morality to conceal an agenda designed to
destroy it.”
She
further asks why
Obama’s close friend, the unrepentant domestic terrorist William
Ayers, would quote the following poem in his blog just two months
before the election. :
The end of
an empire is messy at best
And this empire is
ending
Like all the
rest
Like
the Spanish Armada adrift on the sea
We’re adrift in the land
of the brave
And the home of the
free
Goodbye. Goodbye.
Goodbye
“Do
you think he knows something, or hopes for something that we don’t?”
she asks. “Obama is not who he says he is…I also wonder about his
Manchurian Candidate characteristics. What is inside this Trojan
Horse? Who is he a front for?”
WHERE
THINGS STAND NOW
As
I’ve written in five
articles
(which can be read on my website: www.joanswirsky.com),
the most crucial issue is the fact that Obama’s eligibility to be
president is being seriously challenged by about 20 lawsuits, many
of them waged by Democrats and Independents. Several of these suits
have now reached the Supreme Court. They all claim that Obama does
not meet one of the three criteria that the U.S. Constitution
requires of anyone who runs for the presidency of the
United States of America. That criterion is that he or she be a
“natural born citizen” of the United States.
December
1, writes
attorney
Thomas J. Latino, was “the
deadline for the Obama legal team to file their response to the Berg
Petition for a Writ of Certiorari. There was nothing. Mr. Obama has
done what hasn't been done before…he] has blatantly ignored a
request from the Supreme Court of the United States – our highest
and most revered legal institution. Mr. Obama, quite frankly, has
thumbed his nose at the highest court in our land.”
On
December 5, Leo Donofrio, a plaintiff in Donofrio
v. Wells, is scheduled to have his case heard by the nine
Justices of the Supreme Court, who have agreed to hold a “Rule of
Four” Conference. This means If four of the nine Justices agree that
Donofrio’s case has merit, there is the potential for the Justices
to issue a “stay” of the Electoral College vote on December 15,
which would prevent the Electoral College members from casting their
votes until this explosive issue has been
resolved.
CONSPIRACY
THEORIES
In
one of my articles, I noted that it was not unexpected that
the liberal media – who have been shilling for Obama for over two
years – have covered up his shady, anti-American and anti-Semitic
associations, hisüber-far-left
voting record, and his questionable eligibility to be president. But
it amazed me that conservative media hosts, who pride themselves on
independence and probing inquiries, have been totally mute in
covering this issue. Here is what I wrote:
I
speculated that President Bush might have received highly credible
evidence from our enemies that they had a number of devastating
(probably nuclear suitcase) weapons – set up and ready to be
activated in as many as six-to-10 of our major cities – unless he
had his functionaries direct all media outlets to steer clear of the
birth certificate issue or face Draconian consequences.
In
literally hundreds of emails I received, there were other theories I
found intriguing.
·
One
said to “follow the money,” that conservative media honchos had been
threatened with massive boycotts from the ACORN crowd to go after
their advertisers. Money talks!
·
A
graphic designer suggested that George Soros dipped into his
billions and “treated” major media people to a cool $5
million each.
·
Another
person suggested that the
birth certificate “crisis” was a deliberate
act on Obama’s part to change the U.S. Constitution, the better to
enable foreign leadership to someday take charge of America and
allow the Globalists to run our county and establish their New World
Order.
·
Writer
Michael Bresciani even suggested that the
media’s “fear of embarrassment” may be at
play. “He won a landslide…the idea is that winning is more important
than keeping the rules…The next time a whistle blows on the field in
a NFL game, won't the whole game stop in its tracks and wait for the
announcement of the referee? Isn't [the Obama Constitutional
question] a far more grave matter than a flag going down in a
football game?”
·
Someone
else suggested that the Democrats were
holding the "Fairness Doctrine" gun to the heads of major radio
station owners, striking a deal in which the Doctrine would not be
revived if they collectively cooperated in avoiding the birth
certificate story.
But
the most compelling “conspiracy theory” came from a woman in
California, who wrote:
“I
don't think it's about payoffs to this or that power-that be that
accounts for the media blackout. This could never explain the
article in the Wall St. Journal by the staunchly dependable
conservative James Taranto, who scoffed at the birth certificate
issue. Or why Limbaugh, Levin, Hannity, Ingraham and all the others,
including Hugh Hewitt, have avoided this issue. Or why conservative
radio icons Al Rantel and Tammy Bruce have so quickly done an
about-face, even screeching and threatening their call-in audience
never to mention the birth certificate issue. In fact Bruce
seemed to
experience a personality alteration by declaring loudly and angrily
that if any bloggers on her site posted any material
whatsoever that alluded to Obama’s birth certificate, they would be
permanently banned from TammyBruce.com.
“To
me, it’s reminiscent of the `German thing’ – where ordinary, proud,
conservative, responsible Germans suddenly realized that their
livelihoods and perhaps their lives depended upon supporting a
powerful `new order.’ It was none other than Josef Goebbels who said
that the way to take over a country by a relatively minute cabal of
fascists was to gain control of two entities: the media and the
armed forces. That's why we heard Obama promise to establish a
national police force that was just as strong and well- funded and
powerful as the U.S. military. He and his cabal know that they can't
turn the U.S. military, so they're going to try to set up their own
Gestapo.
“I
suspect,” she continued, “that a memo went out en masse to the media
from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) not to mention the
birth certificate subject under penalty of losing their licenses to
broadcast. Now we have practically a national
shutdown of the media, and the only entity that would have had the
power to bring this about is the FCC – and not a Saudi who owns six
percent of Fox News! For the entire airwaves, in unison, to suddenly
take the position that Obama's birth certificate is out of bounds
means that they've been ordered not to discuss
it.
“Think
about it…every single one of the major radio hosts rebuked callers
at the same time – and on the same day in most
cases! My
guess is that big guns from ACORN and also from the Nation of Islam
have gotten to the FCC and have told them in no uncertain terms that
if Obama is blocked from becoming President, there will be hell to
pay all over America. And obviously these threats were deemed
credible enough by those making the decisions at the FCC that they
have succeeded. This is nothing less than a political coup
d’état!
Unless, that is, the Justices of the Supreme Court and the Electors
of the Electoral College still take seriously their oaths to protect
and defend the U.S. Constitution.”
Interesting,
I must add, that while the American media have for the most part
blacked-out this explosive story, none other than Pravda
has been
covering it!
WHAT
LIES AHEAD
According
to legal scholar Dr. Edwin Vieira, Jr., “America
is facing potentially the gravest constitutional crisis in her
history. Barack Obama must either stand up in a public forum and
prove, with conclusive documentary evidence, that he is `a natural
born Citizen’ of the United States who has not renounced his
American citizenship – or he must step down as the Democratic
Party’s candidate for President of the United States—preferably
before the election is held, and in any event before the Electoral
College meets….the burden of proof rests squarely on his
shoulders.” Vieira further explains:
·
If
Obama fails to prove his citizenship but the voters, the Electors,
or the Members of the House purport to “elect” him, Dr. Vieira says,
“he will be nothing but a usurper, because the Constitution
defines him as such. And he can never become anything else, because
a usurper cannot gain legitimacy if even all of the country aid,
abets, accedes to, or acquiesces in his
usurpation.”
·
If
Obama takes the Presidential oath, knowing that he is not a natural
born Citizen, “he will commit the crime of perjury or false
swearing. So, even if the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court himself
looks the other way and administers the oath, Obama will derive no
authority whatsoever from it.”
·
If
the Oath is perjured, “Obama’s every subsequent act in the usurped
Office of President will be a criminal
offense….”
·
If
he is indeed a usurper, “Obama will not constitutionally be the
Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of
the Militia of the several States, when called into the actual
Service of the United States….therefore, he will be entitled to no
obedience whatsoever from anyone in those
forces.”
·
If
he is indeed a usurper, “Obama will have no conceivable authority to
make Treaties, or to nominate, and appoint Ambassadors, other public
Ministers and Consuls, Judges of the Supreme Court, and all other
Officers of the United States…”
·
“Congress
can pass no law while a usurper pretends to occupy the Office of
President. Thus, if Obama deceitfully enters office as an usurper,
Congress will be rendered effectively impotent for as long as it
acquiesces in his pretenses as `President.’”
·
“If
Obama does become a usurper posturing as the President, Congress
cannot even impeach him because not being the actual President he
cannot be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of,
Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors…In that
case, some other public officials would have to arrest him – with
physical force, if he would not go along quietly – in order to
prevent him from continuing his imposture.”
·
“If
the Establishment allowed Obama to pretend to be the President and
the people acquiesced in that charade, just about everything that
was done during his faux tenure in office by anyone
connected with the Executive Branch of the General Government, and
quite a bit done by the Legislative Branch and perhaps the Judicial
Branch as well, would be arguably illegitimate and subject to being
overturned when a constitutional President was finally installed in
office.”
Vieira
ends by stating: “If he continues to dodge the issue, Obama will be
dogged with this question every day of his purported `Presidency.’
And inevitably the truth will
come out…for the issue is too simple, the
evidence (or lack of it) too accessible. Either Obama can prove that
he is a natural born Citizen who has not renounced his citizenship;
or he cannot. If Obama knows that he is not a natural born
Citizen…then he also knows that he and his henchmen have perpetrated
numerous election-related frauds throughout the country – the
latest, still-ongoing one a colossal swindle targeting the American
people as a whole.”
It
is clear that Mr. Vieira is not alone in his thinking. Gary
Kreep, chief counsel for two California Electors and for
Alan Keyes in a lawsuit that
challenges Obama’s eligibility, and chief of the
United States Justice
Foundation,
has said that he intends to challenge Obama continuously on the
citizenship issue well past inauguration on “every order, every
proposal, every piece of paperwork” that Obama produces.
“We will
file lawsuits on his actions, every time,” Kreep told WorldNetDaily.
”Should Senator Obama be discovered, after he takes
office, to be ineligible for the Office of President of the United State
