Obama's Victory: The Aftermath.

Another week has come and gone, and as usual, there's a lot to talk about.



Without further ado...



Obama: The Nation's Sixth Black President?




Well gang, I don't need to tell you that Barack Obama has been elected President of the United States.







As a man with Mozambican, Columbian, Irish and German ancestry, I definitely appreciate the significance of this moment.

Forty or so odd years ago, black people weren't allowed to sit at certain restaurant counters, or to use specific bathrooms. And now, we have the first obviously black President-elect.

Why did I say obviously?

Well dear reader, the Kidd does his homework. And I know that there have been other black Presidents who have been elected to office, if we apply the traditional understanding [a][b] that a single drop of black blood makes a person black. Click here for more info on our other "black" Presidents [c][d][e]

Some have asked me why I don't focus more on race and racism instead of holding women and feminists accountable for their destructive ways.

The short answer is, while racism is still alive and well, the question of which racial group is superior, or chronicling the ignorance of what people do to one another in the name of "(fill in racial group) power" is the lesser of more important evils at this point, and the election of Senator Obama goes a long way towards bolstering my position. The question of Racism is not that important to me in comparison with the wholesale discrimination Men receive in the Matriarchal West.

The facts are that blacks and whites have a very long and intimate history, from ancient times [1] to this very day. In suffering and in pleasure, black and white Americans are a great deal closer than many would be prepared to believe or to accept [f][g].

Close and critical examination of the history of American slavery will find that there are two outside groups whose role in this evil institution is seldom acknowledged and little understood, causing more confusion for black and white Americans alike.













Consequently, I view feminism as the greatest threat that Men of all stripes and colors face today, because it is a silent oppressor that robs us of our children and our livelihood, our Natural Rights and our Honor. Therefore, this is where I direct my energy. However, I am well aware that racism exists amongst all classes of people, and I support the efforts others are making to combat this ignorant way of thinking, so long as the free speech rights and responsibilities of other people are not suppressed in the process.

I should also add that just because a group of people of common ancestry wants to celebrate or take pride in that culture or ancestry does not equate to racism in all cases. I believe people should be proud of the good things that their ancestors have contributed to the world, and its simply not true that someone who is proud of their heritage is automatically hateful towards everyone else. People should take refuge in the deeds and sayings of their ancestors, so long as they don't fall into the trap of insulting (ethnic group X) in order to elevate their own status. This evil attitude is responsible for much suffering in the world.

As for me, being a multi-racial individual, I am comfortable with all aspects of myself, and I pay homage to all of my ancestors accordingly. It is my opinion that if all people understand where their people came from, and acknowledge and respect ALL of their ancestors of whatever origin, then a lot more people would be more comfortable "in their own skin."

And finally, I disagree with those who argue that multiculturalism means that all cultures are exactly the same, that everyone has to act in a certain homogeneous manner, and that the negative qualities of a culture have to be accepted without a peep of criticsm or evaluation.

There are differences and tendencies across cultures and groups that I have observed with my own eyes. I know that the English and the French have differing perspectives on various issues, that Koreans tend to be more musical and rhythmic than their Japanese cousins, and that black Americans have always had a love affair with music and spiritual matters.

There is room to be different, and it is dangerous to place people into neat little categories and keep them there by force, because generalities do not apply to all persons at all places and at all times.

For these and other reasons, the basic rights and responsibilities of all men need to be upheld and enforced. In a free society, individuals will pursue their chosen goals with passion and purpose, individuals will be able to make contributions that benefit the greater society, and truly diverse nations, who can draw upon the combined strengths of individuals and groups, will outperform their more homogeneous peers.

Hopefully, in post Obama America, we can begin to work towards realizing the Dream: True, complete, and just equality under the law, the ironclad guarantee of Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness for all individuals without respect to race, religion, sex, sexual orientation or political worldview, and the absence of "special rights" for specific groups that have led to much suffering and strife throughout American history.






Obama's Priorities.




Before I begin my thoughts on the subject, please listen to this segment from the Financial Sense crew. Their analysis is spot on, and form the backbone of today's discussion. My commentary builds off of their central theme: the Financial Crisis will greatly constrain the new President's political objectives.

The utter breakdown of families in the real world (the true engine of real and sustainable economic wealth and prosperity) due to feminism, cheap money and credit, government interventions in the marketplace (see Ron Paul's Pillars of Prosperity, p. 313), and massive amounts of anti-family propaganda, has led to the manifestation of a consumer driven economic downturn that the world hasn't seen for decades.

As the Financial Sense commentators noted, in addition to banks requiring massive cash infusions, State and local governments, automobile manufacturers, and other entities will need trillions in aid.

And one false move on the part of the Obama team could lead to either a massive selloff of U.S. dollar denominated assets, leading to a dollar collapse, or a deflationary depression (see Youtube video below) that would cause all manner of havoc.







In short, the economy is going to take up much of Obama's time.




Obama's Precarious Position.




Mr. David Hass has written a very interesting article posted on Market Oracle.uk entitled, 2008 Election Shocker! NOTA Wins by a Landslide:


IMPORTANT UPDATE: 9am EST, November 6th, 2008 - The voting counts are now closing in on their final percentages and here is the latest approximate tally based upon a known U.S. voting-age population of 231,229,580 and currently-estimated voter turnout of 133,300,000:


97,929,000 - 42.35% - NOTA
63,500,000 - 27.46% - OBAMA
55,800,000 - 24.13% - MCCAIN

14,000,000 - 06.05% - OTHER




The author continues:

... When pushed to talk about his “stand” on “the issues” or describe his philosophical “platform” NOTA answers, tersely if not impatiently: “My stand? The U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights spells it all out concisely and clearly for all of us so, if you're not familiar with what they say, I suggest you run - don't walk - and go read them both.” “My platform? It couldn't be simpler… Do not harm others. Mind your own business. Keep your own house in order. Live and let live. Clean up your own messes. Do all that you say you will do. Love your neighbors and your country. Always play fair with others. Be nice and be generous - in deed and in spirit.” Indeed. Words of profound wisdom seldom heard in the cacophony of the modern-day political carnival.

So, exactly who is this NOTA character? NOTA is the consistent winner in each and every election held in the United States in modern times. In fact, NOTA has probably dominated every election since 1900 or before. NOTA is more commonly known as NONE OF THE ABOVE. And, whether you like him or not, NOTA is the preferred choice of the preponderance of voting-age and voting-eligible Americans.

Here are the recent facts, according to an ongoing research project conducted by the Department of Public and International Affairs at George Mason University there were:

231,229,580 - 2008 Total U.S. Voting Age Adults (known)
213,005,467 - 2008 Total U.S. Voting Eligible Adults (known)
133,300,000 - 2008 Total Voter Turnout (projected based on results observed)

UPDATE: 2008 Could Mark Highest Voter Turnout Rate Since 1968

Observation #1. In 2008, a presidential year, 57.6% of voting-age adults voted.
Observation #2. In 2006, a non-presidential year, 37.1% of voting-age adults voted.
Observation #3. In 2004, a presidential year, 55.4% of voting-age adults voted.
Observation #4. In 2000, a presidential year, 50.0% of voting-age adults voted.

What immediately becomes clear is “to not vote is still a form of a vote”. It is still a personal statement. It should still be counted (and it is by the likes of the researchers at George Mason University) and, since these are our fellow Americans, their voices should still matter...



Please note that a total of 167.7 MILLION people, or 79% (167,729,000/213,005,467) of the voting age adult population "voted" against Obama! Among those who showed up to cast a ballot, 69,800,000 people, or 52% of the voters, voted against Obama.

And so, while Obama has a friendly Congress to work with, and may end up appointing hardcore Leftists to the Supreme Court (furthering consolidating his power), upon closer analysis, Obama is much weaker than he appears to be.

Any leftist misadventures, such as the passage of blatantly discriminatory, in-your-face, anti-male and pro-feminist legislation, such as a nationwide "Man-Collar" program, or any attempts to take guns away from the citizenry, could very well cost him control of Congress during the 2010 midterm elections. Significant ideological campaigns against the Sovereign People will most definitely help him become a One-Term Wonder.

Domestically, Obama has the wind to his back. But if he thinks that he can do whatever he wants and alienate the vast majority of Americans who did not elect him, he is in for a very rude awakening, which could come within two short years.




Obama's International Challenges.





The private intelligence group Stratfor, writing for Market Oracle, notes that:

... Obama will have many options on domestic policy given his majorities in Congress. But his Achilles' heel, as it was for Bush and for many presidents, will be foreign policy. He has made what appear to be three guarantees. First, he will withdraw from Iraq. Second, he will focus on Afghanistan. Third, he will oppose Russian expansionism. To deliver on the first promise, he must deal with the Iranians. To deliver on the second, he must deal with the Taliban. To deliver on the third, he must deal with the Europeans...

... As with all American presidents (who face midterm elections with astonishing speed), Obama's foreign policy moves will be framed by his political support. Institutionally, he will be powerful. In terms of popular support, he begins knowing that almost half the country voted against him, and that he must increase his base. He must exploit the honeymoon period, when his support will expand, to bring another 5 percent or 10 percent of the public into his coalition. These people voted against him; now he needs to convince them to support him. But these are precisely the people who would regard talks with the Taliban or Iran with deep distrust. And if negotiations with the Iranians cause him to keep forces in Iraq, he will alienate his base without necessarily winning over his opponents...

... Obama must deal with extraordinarily difficult foreign policy issues in the context of an alliance failing not because of rough behavior among friends but because the allies' interests have diverged. He must deal with this in the context of foreign policy positions difficult to sustain and reconcile, all against the backdrop of almost half an electorate that voted against him versus supporters who have enormous hopes vested in him. Obama knows all of this, of course, as he indicated in his victory speech.

We will now find out if Obama understands the exercise of political power as well as he understands the pursuit of that power. You really can't know that until after the fact. There is no reason to think he can't finesse these problems. Doing so will take cunning, trickery and the ability to make his supporters forget the promises he made while keeping their support. It will also require the ability to make some of his opponents embrace him despite the path he will have to take. In other words, he will have to be cunning and ruthless without appearing to be cunning and ruthless. That's what successful presidents do.


Cunning and ruthless. Very Machiavellian.


In any event, the new President has many challenges to deal with. With any luck, this will keep the Joe-Bama team busy, and will put their pro-feminist and anti-male agenda on the back burner for a time.

Realistically speaking, however, feminists will push hard for "reforms" and additional funding in an attempt to solidify their political position. They are well aware that their power is diminishing. Events beyond their control are stripping them of their influence. Ever so slowly, feminist opponents are making headway in the courts. Amazingly, even the feminized, man unfriendly Republican party might decide to champion Men's rights and pro-family policies, providing men with a nationwide vehicle to directly oppose feminist tyranny.

They know things are beginning to unravel... this is why the femmes have redoubled their blogging, their brainwashing, and their political efforts in a futile quest to hold on to power.

They aren't going out without a fight, and those of us who oppose them MUST do everything in our power to defeat them. Be it blogging, Youtubing, joining other like minded organizations, educating others about the cause of Men's Rights, or running for political office, IT IS TIME THAT MEN'S RIGHTS ACTIVISTS STOP PROTESTING FROM THE WILDERNESS, AND SEEK POLITICAL POWER, AS WELL AS FORMING COALITIONS IN ORDER TO FURTHER OUR AGENDA. Instead of running away from the system, we need to actively take it over in order to hasten the changes we seek.

The feminists have gotten this down to an exact science, and MRAs need to do the same. Please watch the video below for a more through explanation of what I'm getting at.







Conclusion.




From the beginning of Mr. Obama's rise to power, this blog has warned about his globalist connections, and his anti-male rhetoric.

And here we are. President Elect Obama is poised to take the world by storm. How successful he will be in implementing his political ambitions is largely based on outside forces beyond his direct control. It will be an interesting time, and those of us who value true freedom and equality will be watching for any opportunities to advance the cause of freedom at the President's expense.

I would like to leave you with these videos featuring Dr. Ron Paul. His comments on Obama will prove to be prophetic, in my opinion.











There's no time for sleep friends... keep your eyes open.

Toku.
