Sixty-three  months ago Barack Obama officially declared his candidacy for President.   Only now are some among the so-called media and ruling elites in America slowly  awakening from their self-induced infatuation and beginning to understand who he  is.  It has become difficult to ignore the overt intimidation, demagoguery  and deliberate falsehoods spewed forth by Obama relative to sequestration -- a  miniscule cut in the growth of federal spending.   However, any  cursory examination of his past reveals that these tactics are second nature to  the man who currently occupies the Oval Office.

Yet  there remains a stubborn unwillingness on the part of many to recognize the  essential Barack Obama.   Perhaps it is unfathomable to them that they  could be wrong about someone who was the epitome of their superficial ideal  candidate.  They are blinded to the danger by their belief that this  country, the wealthiest and most powerful nation in the history of mankind,  could never be brought to its knees by anyone.

Barack  Obama is a product of 1960's radicalism.   His parents, grandparents,  mentors, professors and, by his own admission, circle of friends were all  disciples of Marxist thought and the tactics of societal revolution.    Not only his formative years but virtually his entire life has been an immersion  in this mindset -- a mindset which includes a deep seated animosity toward  capitalism and individual freedom.  Virtually all the despots of the  twentieth century had the same philosophical convictions and intellectual  backgrounds.

What  makes this belief system so popular among those who harbor megalomaniacal  tendencies is the core tenet that the end justifies the means.  With that  simple phrase any tactic is permissible under the rubric that the true believers  are pre-ordained to govern the people. Thus no lie is too egregious to tell, no  strategy to destroy one's political enemies is out of bounds, and the creation  of false crises and faux enemies is not only legitimate but essential.  Any  leader within government or the national community at large who is captive to  this thinking, as Barack Obama has repeatedly revealed throughout his life and  political career, must by necessity be devoid of ethics, integrity or  morals.

Nearly  all the tyrants of the recent past had a unique capacity to mesmerize a large  swath of the populace through ability to deliver a speech and create a cult of  personality, aided and abetted by a media, if not state sponsored, then one  willingly intimidated into doing the bidding of the exalted leader.  This  ability and extreme narcissism, which Barack Obama has in abundance, is another  pre-requisite for despotism.

Another  personality trait common to despots is a disregard for life and an unrelenting  willingness to use and discard people.   While a member of the  Illinois Senate, Barack Obama was not only in favor of unfettered abortion  rights, he introduced a bill that would make legal the murder of newly born  children that miraculously survived an abortion.  Throughout his life he  has used and manipulated the gullible into being the foot soldiers for his  personal ambitions -- whether an entire race of people (African-Americans) by  playing on his skin color or the elite ruling establishment wallowing in "white  guilt."  The most overused phrase describing Obama's actions since he  entered the national stage is: "thrown under the bus" and it has been for good  reason as in the case of  Reverend Jeremiah Wright or many in the media and  the Democratic Party.

A  well worn tactic by those desirous of becoming autocrats and seizing an ever  increasing amount of political power is to keep the populace in a constant state  of agitation.  As a community organizer and in elected office Obama has a  history of using these tactics.  Since becoming president he has promoted  the escalation of vitriol aimed at inciting retaliation against the tea party  movement and conservatives.  The demonization of the wealthy has never been  so sustained and blatant.  The incendiary charge of racism has become the  default accusation directed at anyone disagreeing with Barack Obama.  As a  result racial animosity is approaching levels not seen since the 1960's.   There is open talk of curbing free speech, governing by presidential fiat  in order to bypass Congress, threatening to seize guns through legislation and  regulation, and promoting blanket amnesty for illegal aliens -- all steps geared  toward fomenting societal upheaval.

Barack  Obama is someone who would willingly inflict pain and suffering on the American  people in order to permanently destroy his political enemies and accumulate near  dictatorial power for the government he controls.   His megalomania  does not allow him to care a whit for the citizenry or the long-term future of  the country he is pushing into bankruptcy or the nation's ability to survive in  a hostile world.

During  the past century millions of people were thrown into a cauldron of indescribable  suffering which emanated from the inability of sophisticated, albeit fractured,  European societies to overcome economic and societal hardships.   They  chose instead to be willingly manipulated by prospective autocrats promising to  solve their nation's woes through their ill-conceived vision of utopia.  A  utopia that that evolved into the near destruction of a continent and the death  of untold millions.

If  those currently in power in the United States succeed in eliminating any  opposition and continue to inexorably increase their control of the government  through their tyrannical tactics, aided and abetted by the media, the sycophants  in the ruling class and the entertainment complex, there will inevitably be  uncontrolled violence and upheaval within America's borders.   The  nation's standard of living will drop precipitously; there will be an  irrevocable loss of freedom and ultimately the imposition of foreign influence  over a once proud nation.

The  sequestration tactics by Barack Obama are but the latest manifestation of his  mindset.  In order to have a free hand to achieve his tyrannical ambitions,  he must make certain the Republican control of the House of Representatives is  overturned in the 2014 mid-term elections.   This is his current and  only objective and he will stop at nothing to accomplish that goal.    After all this is who Barack Obama is.
