Subject: change, vision, hope
It is a historic day of change with hope that the vision that the people's interest, rather than the special interests, might be immanent in America.
Scientism posits that change is random. In truth evolution is inevitable but it is not random. In truth anything might happen but not without cause.
It is now 140 minutes before change says the TV.
There is hope a campaign taken to the people empowered them to overpower the powers that rule the world, the bankers, the military industrial complex, secrete societies, Wall Street, the political machine and the media owned and controlled by the money masters who have been granted control of our economy. There is hope that the people will take back the power of money from the money masters in the spirit of Franklyn, Jefferson, Jackson, Lincoln, Eisenhower, Kennedy, Gandhi, King and Milton Friedman.
We are led to expect change on day one and day one has arrived.
History proves that whoever goes against the money interests will be discredited or assassinated, we have hope he will survive this day.
It is naive to think power can be taken from the special interests or that the people have the wisdom to rule any better? Perhaps, but the possibility for change is real, and can be should we exhibit the will for real change.
Will he announce today the reclamation of control of the money supply by the people to be invested responsibly to create value for futurity rather than debt? There is hope the capital value of the planet earth be employed for our common benefit rather than the benefit of an elite few. Should he not declare war on the secrete societies today there is still hope he will reveal his cards at the end of the game with our power in hand.
Every eyes is watching. It is time for change.
We have hope that the meek will inherit the earth and there will be a thousand years of peace and prosperity.
Let it be.

If he is a true follower of Lincoln, he will fight against the control of the people by the banks. Lincoln said, "The Government should create, issue, and circulate all the currency and credits needed to satisfy the spending power of the Government and the buying power of consumers. By the adoption of these principles, the taxpayers will be saved immense sums of interest. Money will cease to be master and become the servant of humanity." I am hopeful Obama's legacy will be to fulfill Lincoln's dream.
"Our economy is badly weakened, a consequence of greed and irresponsibility on the part of some, but also our collective failure to make hard choices and prepare the nation for a new age."
I have hope that Obama is smart enough to understand that the hard choice of reclaiming the money supply is a fundamental requirement for the new age.
"We will not apologize for our way of life, nor will we waver in its defense, and for those who seek to advance their aims by inducing terror and slaughtering innocents, we say to you now that our spirit is stronger and cannot be broken; you cannot outlast us, and we will defeat you."
The key word here is that he explicitly declares war, not on those who carry out terror, but on those who "induce" terror. An objective analysis of history reveals the money interests have consistently induced terror and war, directly or indirectly, throughout history, to maintain control of money and its issuance. Terror and war is induced by the active incitement and capital backing of people on both sides of a conflict, resolving virtually nothing while tightening the grip of the money masters on us.
Lincoln knew well that the civil war was an economic war, and I have hope that Obama is not deluded into thinking the war on terror is any different.
> Only a nasty old cut throat who has know regard for his own safety would try that, the likes of Andrew Jackson.
Franklyn, Jefferson, Madison, Garfiled, Lincoln, FDR, Kennedy, also tried to beat the banking interests. It may have taken the likes of Jackson to actually beat them, but he only won the battle, not the war, as they ultimately destroyed him by inducing monetary failure. Obama's war is different in character, both took their case to the people, but Jackson took on the banks personally. It is not so much Obama against the special interests, it is the people reclaiming control. It is not doing one thing, but it is a commitment to stay in the game for the long haul. It is my hope that it is a spirit that goes beyond the man Obama and is a victory for the people such that it cannot be trumped by the money masters no matter what treachery they might induce.
Despite Jackson's adversial nature we ought not through out the baby with the bath water.
"If congress has the right under the Constitution to issue paper money, it was given them to use themselves, not to be delegated to individuals or corporations." -Andrew Jackson
> I wish Obama the best, he is a good man and the responsibility of the office will temper him, but he has some goofy screwballs around him. Only time will tell.
I am heartened by the tone of his inauguration speech which stood on just universal principles rather than politics, I have hope he has already laid the foundation for the tough choices needed to realize Lincoln's dream, and made immanent a new age, where capital serves the people that could only be strengthen in the event of his martyrdom such that there would be no purpose for the money masters.
"Now, there are some who question the scale of our ambitions... What the cynics fail to understand is that the ground has shifted beneath them -- that the stale political arguments that have consumed us for so long no longer apply."
"The success of our economy has always depended ... on our ability to extend opportunity to every willing heart -- not out of charity, but because it is the surest route to our common good."
"To those who cling to power through corruption and deceit and the silencing of dissent, know that you are on the wrong side of history; but that we will extend a hand if you are willing to unclench your fist."
To me, this elicits the words of James Madison, "History records that the money changers have used every form of abuse, intrigue, deceit, and violent means possible to maintain their control over governments by controlling money and its issuance." I am given hope that without retribution or blame, Obama is inclusive of even the money masters, as they are willing, in the realization a just monetary system. It is a war of assimilation, where we hope, resistance is futile.
In the spirit of JFK's, call to our service to government, Obama gives us the responsibility to control our own future.
"What is required of us now is a new era of responsibility -- a recognition, on the part of every American, that we have duties to ourselves, our nation, and the world, duties that we do not grudgingly accept but rather seize gladly, firm in the knowledge that there is nothing so satisfying to the spirit, so defining of our character, than giving our all to a difficult task. This is the price and the promise of citizenship."
The vision and hope for humanity I lived in the days of Eisenhower and Kennedy has been lost by recent generations. Even the vision and promise of the American revolution has in many ways lost its luster in recent times. This may indeed be the moment, as Obama proclaimed, "a moment that will define a [new] generation.", and what has been lost may be regained in even greater glory.
Obama concluded, "Let it be said by our childrens' children that when we were tested we refused to let this journey end, that we did not turn back nor did we falter; and with eyes fixed on the horizon and Gods grace upon us, we carried forth that great gift of freedom and delivered it safely to future generations."
In order to promote the potential of this future we must take the challenge personally and fly in the face of the cynics.
"our time of standing pat, of protecting narrow interests and putting off unpleasant decisions -- that time has surely passed. Starting today, we must pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off, and begin again the work of remaking America."
Personally, keeping the vision in mind, with unwavering hope, and support for the change required to fulfill the vision, is the challenge given to us. Should we meet this challenge, the dream will be realized. Instead of government by rule of special interests, and we will finally realize a government truly of the people, by the people, for the people, the American revolution will have been won at last.
The torch has not simply been passed from one president to another, but by the words of Obama and the views of many who heard his words yesterday, to a new generation of Americans and to all the peoples of the world. It is a test of our convictions and the future has been delivered into our hands. Business as usual has been given notice this day, and there is hope we shall be delivered from the powers over us should we have the courage to change such that the great vision of the future of humanity is realized.
Indeed Obama may be tempered by the responsibilities of office, as every president in my lifetime has failed to have the power in practice, to deliver what they promised in principle. But we ought not be tempered in our resolve that the future of humanity and freedom not be compromised. Our mandate is the greatest power. The future is in our hands.
