Power Over Those Who Refuse to Think

I was out all day yesterday.  Bible study in the morning, lunch with a friend, a bit of mall shopping, and then at least three more errands were completed.  As I was driving home, I happened to tune in to Roger Hedgecock's radio show.  He was discussing the Obama campaign's new slogan - Forward.

Several blogs, including Gateway Pundit have already covered the historic meaning of that term as it relates to socialism, Marxism, and Nazi-fascism.

Here's a great comment (with additional links) from Gateway Pundit:

Patty #2 ‘The Obama campaign apparently didn’t look backwards into history when selecting its new campaign slogan, “Forward” — a word with a long and rich association with European Marxism.

Many Communist and radical publications and entities throughout the 19th and 20th centuries had the name “Forward!” or its foreign cognates. Wikipedia has an entire section called “Forward (generic name of socialist publications).”

“The name Forward carries a special meaning in socialist political terminology. It has been frequently used as a name for socialist, communist and other left-wing newspapers and publications,” the online encyclopedia explains.

The slogan “Forward!” reflected the conviction of European Marxists and radicals that their movements reflected the march of history, which would move forward past capitalism and into socialism and communism.

The Obama campaign released its new campaign slogan Monday in a 7-minute video. The title card has simply the word “Forward” with the “O” having the familiar Obama logo from 2008. It will be played at rallies this weekend that mark the Obama re-election campaign’s official beginning.

There have been at least two radical-left publications named “Vorwaerts” (the German word for “Forward”). One was the daily newspaper of the Social Democratic Party of Germany whose writers included Friedrich Engels and Leon Trotsky. It still publishes as the organ of Germany’s SDP, though that party has changed considerably since World War II. Another was the 1844 biweekly reader of the Communist League. Karl Marx, Engels and Mikhail Bakunin are among the names associated with that publication.

East Germany named its Army soccer club ASK Vorwaerts Berlin (later FC Vorwaerts Frankfort).

Vladimir Lenin founded the publication “Vpered” (the Russian word for “forward”) in 1905. Soviet propaganda film-maker Dziga Vertov made a documentary whose title is sometimes translated as “Forward, Soviet” (though also and more literally as “Stride, Soviet”).

Conservative critics of the Obama administration have noted numerous ties to radicalism and socialists throughout Mr. Obama’s history, from his first political campaign being launched from the living room of two former Weather Underground members, to appointing as green jobs czar Van Jones, a self-described communist.’

New Obama slogan has long ties to Marxism, socialism

Commie by any other name h/t bg.

All of the corruption and nefarious actions and issues surrounding evil ObamaFRAUD are most certainly serious. This one is as well.   I wonder, how many young people actually know about the history of that word being used in European communist campaigns of the past?

Mr. Hedgecock played a tune that made me burst out laughing. Even though it had to do with Hitler (and the horror of that disastrous era cannot ever be forgotten), the fact that the song was written for a movie called The Producers and the intent in the storyline was for the film/play to be a "flop;" ended up having the additional purpose of mocking Hitler and the Nazis.  After all the 1960's TV hit "Hogan's Heroes" was done for the same purpose.

At the following link, you can view a YouTube clip of: The ORIGINAL performance "Springtime for Hitler" from the movie The Producers by Mel Brooks.

Some comments at the Youtube site:

so heilarious! it's reichdiculous

Some people were offended by it, but one commentator perhaps tells us why some may not be offended:

The song celebrated and praised Hitler, while the guy's performance as Hitler could be interpreted as him making fun of Hitler, a satire.

If anyone is, was, or will be offended by the video clip (especially if you are familiar with the film) then don't click on the link. I can certainly understand anyone who might feel that way. Perhaps anything to do with Hitler should not ever be considered as "funny."

But while growing up, I watched Hogan's Heroes and laughed at the bumbling stupidity of it all.

On a more serious note, this past weekend I watched a two-part series on The Third Reich. The first part was “The Rise” and the second part was “The Fall.” I had seen “The Fall” several months ago, but seeing “The Rise” and how Hitler came to power in such a short amount of time was astonishing…to say the least!

One of the narrators of the documentary stated that the people screaming “Heil Hitler” and using the Nazi hand sign were “insane.”

The wild-eyed people that were filmed in the crowd reminded me of the ObamaBorg Bots of today who would succumb to a dictator-like “leader” because they fell for an undefined slogan back in 2008, and now want to continually have a hand out from the government instead of the American way of a hand up.

 It is scary to think that millions of people will mindlessly vote for Obama again because they have fallen hook, line, and sinker for the propaganda via all the Alinsky tactics used on them.  After 99 weeks on unemployment, many either STILL can't find a job (because of Obummer's disatrous policies) or they really don’t want to work again.  Like mindless zombies, they will vote the fraud back in because they think that if they don't, they will lose their “benefits.”   They don't know how bad the future would be with another four years of ObaMAO!  They would trade away their freedom, liberty, pursuit of happiness and  genuine justice;  all for the lies of a would-be dictator.  Here's a warning for you:  Germany has been there, done that!

I wish that every single one of those people would watch The Third Reich series documentary so that they would see how the dictatorship of a totalitarian “leader” quickly becomes corrupted and only ends in misery, suffering and death.

The Third Reich documentary shows horrendous original film footage  (often smuggled out of Germany back then) of the slaughter of millions of Jews with their bodies stacked up in a pile like they were garbage.  Such inhumanity will NEVER escape my mind. It was one of the most brutal, treacherous, ugly, insane and devastatingly evil times in history. It makes me tear up and cry every time.

To see the country of Poland being bombed and hear that the people (my grandparents escaped from there) being taken over by the Nazis were raped, pillaged, put into slavery, and brutally killed turned my stomach.

To see evidence of a camp for teen girls and boys where their own parents were unaware of the "counselors" that encouraged them to fornicate (and get the girls pregnant) in order to produce babies of what they considered a "superior" Aryan race was disgusting.

To see evidence of the sterilization of those who were considered "unfit" (i.e. the lame, the mentally challenged, the deformed etc.) or the outright killing of such individuals was grossly appalling.

That is why the documentary has warnings to the viewer that some of the footage (all original) would be too disturbing to see.

  But I think that every American over the age of 12 SHOULD see it!

Then, when they enter into the progressive bastion of insanity known as liberal colleges and universities, such educated students wouldn't fall for the Marxist propaganda so often preached by professors. That is exactly what happened during the beginnings of the ObamaBorgBot era of 2007-2008. These young adults had been so brain-dirtied by ObamaMao's call for "hope and change" that they didn't even know WHAT kind of deleterious change he was actually referring to!!!

Some of the information included in my previous paragraphs (in bold) were originally posted in the comment section at my friend Steve's blog. I thought that Steve's reply was spot on!

I think what the underlying, subconscience feeling for all people is the need to feel safe and secure. To be assured the government is doing their main function of securing safety for the people. The need of security for people and their families is the motivating factor in determining who they “cheer” for. Obama and company deceive the people into thinking the Republicans want to take the security away using financial and health concerns to frighten people. Sowing the seeds of class warfare. And it works. Convincing people that they’ll be safe and secure financially, emotionallly, health wise, in retirement and the latest, safe from terrorist attack is the key to staying in power and yes, even securing complete power over those that cannot think.

[Hat Tip to Steve for giving me this blog post title idea!]

Well said Steve! I think you are right. The damage being done by Obama is changing minds towards hopelessness, which leads to dependency. They seem to think that having a pResident who will preach the socialistic cradle-to-grave mentality of “we will take care of you” won’t end badly.

As you so brilliantly pointed out, the “safety and security” of the people which is done in this way gives far too much power to the “leader.” Thus, such a leader turned dictator will “secure complete power over those that cannot think.”

The manipulation of people’s minds is astonishing! How could they be so blind, deaf, and dumb to not see what is REALLY happening here??

I think a lot of it is due to spiritual deception.

 People are very desperate these days.

Crime is up in my area where we have lived for almost 12 years. This was NEVER an area where break-ins happened often. All of that has changed under Obamafraud’s criminalship!

Even though many Christian organizations that provide relief such as food banks and shelters are working around the clock, it is not enough to cover the needs of so many who are suffering these days. People who have lost jobs don’t have the income to help support such efforts anymore. Therefore, some people think that government will save them. This is being done all by design by those who follow the father of lies. Heck, didn’t Saul Alinsky dedicate his book, Rules For Radicals to Lucifer?

I continue to pray that enough people will be awakened to the truth about all the criminality surrounding Obama.  They need to take the blinders off and really see the radical in the White House and his ilk before it’s too late. A second term of Zero would give him an unchecked ability to absolutely crush our way of life and decimate America into something we won’t even recognize.

Lord Jesus, please help us!!

I sincerely hope that people will be educated about the Marxist/National Socialist (Nazi) history of Zero's new campaign slogan and wholeheartedly REJECT him and all his radicalized ilk this coming November!

Hat Tips to all links.
