The
Judas Factor: Barack Obama and a Movement Betrayed (or ‘for Those Who Have Joined the Empire’) Keeping It Real By Larry Pinkney BlackCommentator.com Editorial Board |
||
In the 1960s, the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) was quite explicit that its aim was to prevent the rising of a so-called “Black Messiah” unless it, the FBI (and / or the U.S. Empire at-large), created him. It appears that in the 21st century this might finally have come to fruition in the person of Barack Obama. Who is Barack Obama and where did he really come from? While basking in misguided
adoration as the leader of the so-called “Joshua generation;” this pro
(apartheid) Zionist, corporate / Wall Street-backed, double talking
Barack Obama is in fact more in line with the infamous Biblical betrayer,
Judas Iscariot, than the scriptural Joshua. Indeed, contrary to myth,
the real Biblical Jesus Christ was a revolutionary who
despised the corporate blood sucking “money changers / brokers”
of his day, and “drove them out” of their ill-used place of business
with “a scourge of small cords / whips.” [Reference the Bible book of
John 2: 15 & 16]. This revolutionary Jesus was of course
betrayed, tried, and convicted of the blatantly political offense
of sedition, and with the complicity of many of those
professing to be the leaders of the people, was tortured and executed
by the We Black, Red, Brown, Yellow, and White peoples must make it our business to understand that the actual objective of Barack Obama - this colored, smooth-tongued, conjurer of 21st century U.S. imperialism - is to neutralize and destroy all significant vestiges of past and ongoing Black liberation movement in “America”, and to strengthen the strangulating death grip of the U.S. corporate-military-prison apparatus on all people around the world. Little could be more dangerous than the corporate- and media-backed Barack Obama masquerading as Joshua, when he is actually Judas. We the people must understand
this: Barack Obama and his Democratic party cohorts in both the Senate
and the House claim / pretend to be against the war of aggression and
occupation in Barack Obama and his Democratic Party
are unequivocal and cynical frauds. I recently read a message from his
colleague U.S. Congressman Keith Ellison’s Spring, 2008, Fifth District
Community Newsletter which stated in relevant part that “we must end
the war in The American Heritage Dictionary
specifically defines the word “redeploy” as meaning, “To move
(military forces) from one combat zone to another.” This is NOT
bringing At this point it is worth pointing out how incredibly hypocritical it is at this point in time for certain U.S. citizens to be exclaiming such concern for the rights of the people in Tibet, while virtually ignoring the genocide and ongoing thievery of the lands and mockery of the human rights of the indigenous so-called “Indian” peoples right here in the United States of America. One wonders if they have never heard the poignant expression: “Charity begins at home.” These Black, Brown, and Red people
are my people, along with all people
of good will, and I will not abandon them no matter
how the system tries to play us off against each other. You are MY people
and I am proud of you ALL - Black, Red, Brown, Yellow, and yes,
White. You are MY PEOPLE. Many of us do not know that we ARE ONE,
precisely because this filthy, hypocritical, cynically racist, capitalist
system, keeps putting political, mental and / or physical obstacles
in our path all in the very name of some fake “one
Once again, I respectfully urge that we make a history that we can be proud of, by organizing outside the box of the Democratic and Republican parties. Let us carry on and begin now, leaving a true legacy of keeping it real. To ALL of my people, it is time to think critically and act accordingly.
