In my profile, I mention one of my favorite books: Roget's Thesarus. Why that book? I guess you can say that I am a student of semantics which is the study of the meaning ( of words). When I write or speak, I want to be sure that I am using the right word to express what I want to express. Words are the tools of thought and communication. Since my goal is to communicate effectively, I want to be sure about the words that I am using. When I say that I am student of semantics, I want to be sure that I am not misrepresenting myself as an expert on the subject. Rather than be an expert, I just want to do it adequately.
I've been using the phrase "death cult" a lot lately. Maybe it is time to review what the term "cult" actually means according to this version of an online Thesaurus. Filling in the text box, the word cult gives two synonyms: heterodoxy and belief. Well that doesn't quite get the job done, so let's look at a dictionary:
a. A religion or religious sect generally considered to be extremist or false, with its followers often living in an unconventional manner under the guidance of an authoritarian, charismatic leader.
b. The followers of such a religion or sect.
So, what is the justification for calling the leadership of this country a "death cult"? The leadership would have to be extremist or false, living unconventionally, under the guidance of an authoritarian charismatic leader.
Is Obama extremist? At the very least, he associates with people who are quite extremist. Bill Ayers was a member of the Weathermen. These people wanted to kill their opponents by the millions. His followers seem to have an unusual attraction towards Obama that defies rationality. He is said to be charismatic, at least to his followers. With these considerations, it does appear that Obama is getting awfully darned close to a cult figure. The people following him are blindly devoted to him, or if not, they are giving a very, very good imitation of being so.
But what about the "death" part of the phrase "death cult"? Now, Obama got into office with the idea of "changing" this country. Just exactly what is it that he is inclined to "change"? Doesn't he want to change our Republic into a dictatorship? Doesn't he want to change our capitalistic system in a socialistic one? He denies these charges, and/or his followers do. But how do you square that with ObamaCare? What is the justification for overturning our system of healthcare and putting it under federal jurisdiction? He did say that he'd like to do the same with the rest of the economy. He said that. So, why isn't that considered socialistic? He's not a dictator? Didn't Woody Allen say he wants Obama to be a dictator? Did Obama's recent statement that his not being a dictator is a "problem"? It is thus fair to say that Obama's notion of change means death of America as it was, and the beginning of it being something else? That something else has been the same type of government that has been responsible for mass killings in recent history. If he is successful at "change", he could be getting us to commit suicide in a literal sense.
I suspect that the term "death cult" will be considered too harsh a term, even with this evidence. But closing your eyes to reality doesn't make the reality go away.
The "death cult" is bigger than Obama, though. The "death cult" is leftism in general. Leftism is at war with America, always has been. Obama is the latest manifestation of what they intend for this country.
The "death cult" is postmodernist in thought. There is no truth, there is no free will. This paves the way for a cult figure to take over the culture and direct it towards his own ends, according to his own will. If not checked, it will result in a cult of personality. If Obama isn't that, he is getting awfully darned close to it.
The "death cult" is spreading and the malaise arising from it is intensifying. It is almost if he has put the entire country into a trance. At some point, enough people will have to wake up and stop this cult, or we will all sink into it and be lost. What happens after that will not be pleasant nor pretty.
I know I intended to be detached from my writing. This piece is as objective as I can make it, though. There are limits to everything, including objectivity. It is hard to be objective about something that you care about. Even if you don't care about this country anymore, you can at least care about yourself. One's own death is not easy to be objective about. Even there, I am attempting to do so. I think that this cult will lead to a lot of death and destruction. I don't think I am using the words lightly and without thought.
When Obama accepted the nomination for President, he gave his acceptance speech in a large stadium at night. This was reminiscent of what Hitler did. The comparison with Hitler was probably too much then, but what about now after four years of this guy? Isn't it time to say enough?
Words mean things as Limbaugh has said. But what does it mean to oppose? You will either oppose this or you won't. There can be no middle ground. There can be no compromise with truth. This is true or it isn't. Unless you are a postmodernist, and then it makes no difference.
Update:
So, what does this have to do with making money? It means that this is a development that needs watching.
For if death cult is pervasive as I think it is, it includes the Republicans as well. They do not adhere to truth, they only appear to be in opposition to the Democrats. They are in fact only pretending to be opponents to the Democrats and it's all a big act.
Best thing to do is to separate from the Republicans if they won't to oppose the Democrats. By continuing to support the Republicans, they are instead only enabling the death cult to continue to grow and spread.
This means collapse, probably in the form of a loss of the dollar's reserve status and a hyperinflation. Once that happens, the government will no longer be able to give away free money and there will be unrest as in Greece.
This means paper assets are risky if the debt issue is not solved satisfactorily.
