Web article on the increasing number of people who think Obama is the antichrist

Alternet offers a broad overview of the role of these kind of beliefs in our society today:

"In recognition of the continuing progression of the pandemic, and in further preparation as a nation," as he put it, Barack Obama declared a national state of emergency on October 23. This declaration allows the federal government to waive certain requirements regarding prevention and treatment procedures because "the potential exists for the pandemic to overburden health care resources in some localities," Obama said.

But the folks at AntichristIdentity.com would probably say this is just his latest step in "progressing the Antichrist system that is gathering pace after the recent world economic upheaval"—a system that "implicates not only Barack Obama but also Javier Solana of the European Union, Prince Charles of Wales, Queen Beatrix of Netherlands and Prince Hassan of Jordan," a "power bloc" that "will drive the Antichrist world government." The folks at BeastObama.com call it "amazing stuff going on here, right before our eyes ... and it fits the pattern set out in Revelation 13."

But it's clear the writer of the article isn't buying Obama (or anyone else as antichrist) or any of the other otherworldly phenomena America is increasingly fascinated with:

. . . as we panic over healthcare, job loss and war in this funhouse of the proven and unproven, ascribing otherworldly powers to those who control us lets us off the hook. If they became this strong, this devious, this cruel by paranormal means, then heck: The world's in bad shape not because I voted wrong or didn't vote at all or wasn't a good enough activist. The world's in bad shape because our rulers are aliens or possess divine DNA or intone incantations under the full moon. In other words, it's not my fault.

Did Nostradamus predict that Obama would be a one term president?

This isn't strictly in line with the topic of this blog, but I have often discussed Nostradamus' predictions about Mabus, the "second antichrist," who strangely shares the name of Obama's Navy Secretary.

Another Nostradamus prediction involves the idea that Obama will be a one term president (we can only hope):

Barack Obama may have won the 2008 election, but the real winner in the presidential lottery was none other than "Michel de Notredame," who gained newfound respect among the ranks of hardcore skeptics by prophesying the first black president, uncannily describing him as the "white and black of the two intermixed."

The Seer Extraordinaire was able to accomplish, nearly five centuries ago, what modern-day political pundits were unable to do even five short years ago. In so doing, Nostradamus turned die-hard doubters into true believers. The same ones who used to thumb their noses at his predictions are now thumbing through his quatrains, in search of further enlightenment, as in this prophetic verse:

"The great empire each year shall have more strife,
One above all others will the power obtain:
But short will be his reign and life,
Two years on stormy seas will he be able to sustain." - Nostradamus

. . .

Nostradamus used his prodigious prophetic powers to read the political tea leaves, but it does not require a crystal ball to read the writing on the wailing wall. Given the dire straits that he inherited, voters were more than willing to give their Anointed One a honeymoon in the White House. But if Barack Obama fails to deliver on his copious campaign promises, it is highly doubtful that they will deign to grant their Second Coming a second honeymoon in the Oval Office.

I don't really see any connection though in the prophecy about Obama. Nostradamus could be talking about anyone. It's disturbing to see the reference to "short will be his . . . life" given the spotty record of his Secret Service detail and the rumors that Obama is suffering from lung cancer.

666 Obama Web sites and more

Here are some Web sites I have run across that connect the Biblical prophecies about 666 with President Barack Obama. I'm not reading a lot into this, but it's more evidence that many Americans are convinced Obama is the antichrist.


This site argues that Obama's popular logo contains a hidden 666:

Obama is audacious enough to parade his 666 symbol before the world, yet, no one seems to notice. Maybe I am not the first one to point this out, but I have not seen it on the Internet . . .The 666 is concealed in the symbol. It requires a CHANGE of perspective in order to see it. Turn the symbol upside down or rotate it 60°+60°+60° (a hint of 666).

Here is the 666 Obama Twitter site:

This Twitter site (@antichrist666)is very strange, it has one post:

What is the difference between Barack Obama and God? God does not think that He is Barack Obama!

This is the 666 Obama bumper sticker design - sort of clever.

Regular readers will remember the weird "coincidence" involving the Illinois lotter and the election of Obama last year.

Why does Obama's brother live in Red China?

Just asking:

For the past seven years, [Mark] Ndesandjo [President Barack Obama's half-brother, the son of Barack Obama Sr., Barack Obama's drunken, abusive father who was fortunately absent from the president's upbringing and died in a drunk driving accident many years ago] has been living in the booming southern Chinese city of Shenzhen, near Hong Kong, and has refused all interview requests until now.

Ndesandjo, who said he attended Obama's inauguration as a family guest, declined to discuss his earliest memories of the president or describe their relationship over the years. However, he said he plans to meet his brother in Beijing when the president makes his first visit to China on Nov. 15-18.

"My plan is to introduce my wife to him. She is his biggest fan," he said.

Shortly after divorcing the president's mother, Obama Sr. met Nidesand while studying as a graduate student at Harvard University. Nidesand returned with Obama Sr. to his native Kenya in 1965, where Mark and his brother David were born and grew up. David later died in a motorcycle accident.

In Kenya, Obama Sr. also had four children with his first wife, Kezia, some of them while he was still married to Nidesand. Nidesand and Obama Sr. eventually divorced amid allegations of domestic abuse. Nidesand returned to the United States and later married a man whose surname Mark Ndesandjo took.

. . .

Ndesandjo, who is an American citizen, spent most of his childhood in Kenya before moving to the U.S. to go to college and work in telecommunications and marketing. He has a bachelor's degree from Brown University in physics and a master's degree in the same subject from Stanford University. He also earned an MBA from Emory University in Atlanta, he said.

"I see myself in many ways as a person who has many places, has feet in many places," he said.

Intensely private, Ndesandjo declined to answer several questions about himself. He even refused to give his age, saying only that "I'm younger than Barack."

With a trim, athletic physique, he has a strong resemblance to his taller brother in Washington. His left ear is pierced, and he wore a black crew neck shirt under a dark jacket to the interview last week.

Ndesandjo moved to China after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks when his job was cut in the rocky U.S. economy. He taught English, immersed himself in the study of Chinese culture and volunteered as a piano teacher at an orphanage.

He now speaks Mandarin and said he earns a living as a consultant in strategic marketing, though he would not elaborate on his business.

It seems obvious various US publishing organizations are currying favor with President Obama by cutting book deals with Obama's half-siblings (Barack Obama Sr. was married three times and has as many as six children, perhaps more) and other relatives.

Another of the president's half brothers, George Obama, 27, of Huruma, Kenya, has penned a memoir that will be published by Simon and Schuster in January 2010.

Other Obama relatives working on books include a half sister, Maya Soetoro-Ng, daughter of Obama's mother and her second husband, Lolo Soetoro; and Craig Robinson, first lady Michelle Obama's brother.

It's interesting that Ndesandjo is a US citizen but chooses to live in a communist slave-state like the People's Republic of China. Why did he move there? Is the government somehow sponsoring him or offering him favors? How close is he to his brother? Is the Communist regime in China somehow able to exert influence on Obama through his brother?

It would be interesting to know much more about this situation. Are there other China connections to Obama?

Obama bows to potentates, tyrants

President Barack Hussein Obama, an individual that many believing Christians fear is the antichrist, has now deeply bowed to the Emperor of Japan, who many older Japanese revere as a pagan god.

The LA Times calls Obama's deep bow "a wow bow."

Several months ago, Obama bowed deeply to the Saudi tyrant king, who presides over an oil rich dictatorship that ruthlessly suppresses women and dissidents. Many believe our nation's excessive deference to this dictatorship is responsible for our difficulties with radical Islam.

Many people will look at this and say "Does Obama's obeisance to foreign tyrants and kings indicate he is the antichrist?"

I say no. What I would be more concerned about is if all the tyrants and kings, and for that matter democratically elected leaders, were all bowing to Obama. This would indicate to me that he had some sort of prophesized supernatural power over them.

Of course, we all know that is not the case. Even while the mass of uneducated people in those nations pay simpering tribute to Obama, the leaders of those nations scorn and ignore Obama because it's obvious he doesn't know what he is doing. The brutal Communist thug Fidel Castro apparently adores Obama, but probably it's because Fidel has finally found a kindred political spirit.

As a believing Christian and a loyal American, I am a lot more embarrassed by Obama now than worried about him. I suspect he is going to Japan and China with his hat in his hand to beg favors from him. I fear for the people of Taiwan, because China will probably offer some minor boon to Obama in return for Obama promising to do nothing if China invades Taiwan. (Note the calamities that have occurred in the past when American presidents, primarily Nixon, have sought rapprochement with China.)

Mabus to guest star on NCIS television show

Ray Mabus, the Navy Secretary and early Obama supporter who shares his name with an individual Nostradamus predicted to be the "third antichrist" is going to guest star on NCIS, one of these weird "all hail law enforcement" shows that I don't watch. Apparently NCIS is Navy-themed.

U.S. Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus will make his television acting debut when he plays a Navy investigator on the drama "NCIS," according to CBS, the network that airs the show.

In the Thanksgiving-themed episode, which airs Tues., Nov. 24, Mabus will play a NCIS (Naval Criminal Investigative Service) investigator. In the episode, titled 'Child's Play,' the NCIS team has to put its Thanksgiving plans on hold when the death of a Marine leads them to a government think tank that employs child prodigies, according to a plot description by the network.

The network says Mabus filmed his scenes on the show's Los Angeles set two weeks ago. But he won't be the first real-life Navy official to have appeared on the show: former NCIS director David Brant appeared in an episode that aired in November 2005.

I think this is strange. It leads me to believe that Mabus is a shameless self promoter who wants to advance himself far beyond his current role as Navy Secretary. Maybe he just wants a career in media, like the laughable buffoon Mike Huckabee. Or maybe Mabus wants more.

Recently, Mabus put himself front and center on the launch of the USS New York, a Navy vessel created with steel salvaged from the World Trade Center. It seemed appropriate for him to do so, but of course this too might figure in his hypothetical scheme to advance himself even further than the he already has.

Obama neither antichrist or savior

In my continuing effort to create a community of people who want to discuss or wonder whether Obama might be the antichrist, I turn to this left wing supporter of Obama, Terry Mancour, who seems obsessed with the imagery of Obama as either antichrist or savior:

A year after Barack Obama won the election, no Republicans are being rounded up and herded into camps. No one has come for our guns. Wall Street is still chugging along. No one has "surrendered" to the terrorists. The American flag is still honoured and respected, and veterans are not being publicly despised, as some told me would happen if "that one" got elected. Obama-as-antichrist has stubbornly refused to turn into the abusive dictator the right has feared.

Nor has the left been thrilled with the saviour-like figure they made him out to be. Two wars still rage, unemployment rises and (so far) no healthcare reform has been enacted. Gay and lesbian military personnel still (for the moment) have to serve their nation in the closet. Wall Street is still relatively unfettered and unregulated, and the banking bailout has left a bitter taste in everyone's mouth. While re-regulation of a dozen different industries is being considered, things just haven't changed that much since George Bush left office.

Neither the antichrist nor the saviour, Obama has back-pedalled on campaign pledges, been stymied by Congress, had his appointees and aides stonewalled or forced to resign and has not made any appreciable progress in the Middle East, Asia, Africa or South America. Climate change legislation is stalled, and the glaciers are melting. The financial outlook for the nation is still dreary and uncertain.

Mancour demonstrates the left wingers fascination with the global warming apocalypse fantasy, which is based neither or science or scripture. But he wraps it all up in a few paragraphs after this, trying to spin how great Obama is. He also looks into some sort of alternate history crystal ball and notes how terrible things would be if "the opposition" had won.

Well we'll see - I don't think we have to go to a parallel world to see what happens if Republicans and Conservatives win. We're going to see that tomorrow in NJ, Virginia and NY-23.

In my opinion, while it is very much up in the air whether Obama is the antichrist, what's not open to debate is how lousy things are under his rule, and how obviously worse they are getting.
