UNCLE TOM'S CABIN

The greatest novel of the 19th century and the best selling book after the Bible was Uncle Tom's Cabin the
story of the reality of slavery in America and how it could be overcome
by Christianity. It was said it laid the groundwork for the U.S. Civil
War, but Lincoln himself said that slavery was not an issue. It was
states' rights and of course money. The North was facing financial issues that the South was required to satiate.

"If
I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do it, and if I
could save it by freeing all the slaves I would do it; and if I could
save it by freeing some and leaving others alone I would also do that.
What I do about slavery, and the colored race, I do because I believe it
helps to save the Union; and what I forbear, I forbear because I do not
believe it would help to save the Union." (Letter to Horace Greeley, August 22, 1862)

Uncle Tom
was a character in the novel. He has been judged by time as being a
symbol of subservience to immoral authority. He would be more than
willing by that standard to compromise his own people in the errant
belief that cooperation would be the best course. The term Quisling
was used in Norway after the German invasion after the then leader. In
France sympathizers were in size and scope the government of the Vichy.
There are times when the forces of darkness have such power over the
oppressed that buying a little time is a sensible strategy. However, the
end result has to be the eradication of oppression not rapproachment.

In
this light we 'elected' a President who ran on a platform of high
ideals over the previous one. He was trusted with the task of restoring
liberty and justice on several key issues regarding the horrid wars
America was mired in and the evil practice of running a prison outside
the norms of any civilized society. He paid lip service to the
electorate and then assumed the same role of his predecessor. By the
next term he got so good at it, he had established a national surveillance grid
that is the model for the world at this time. He sees as routine spying
on his friends. His minions respond; everybody's doing it. Perhaps they
are. My mother was quite adamant that just because everybody's doing it
that doesn't make it right. If everybody jumped off a cliff, would you
join them. That is a childish explanation for a Secretary of State to
make. If anyone spied on a friend like that they would be jailed. It
cannot be right.

Victim of Obama drone attack the blood is on your hands
-
There
is no moral high ground that the administration is walking. It is
actually the lowest and most reprehensible form of behaviour, and we
haven't even mentioned the issue of mass murder. The Obama
administration started the mass serial killing of 'enemies' of the
state. Was this what you tell your children freedom and democracy are
about the lowest common denominator of tyrants and despots? The
Christian value of loving your enemy as yourself dictates arrest on real
charges, fair trials and upon conviction humane treatment. Where the
dictator can get away with excesses, he fools himself to think his
nation won't be harmed by said policies and actions. There are laws of
the universe that cannot be ignored. For every action there is an equal
and opposite reaction. That is more than a law of motion; it is a law of
the universe. It applies to our actions as well. Every evil deed will
fall back upon us in equal and opposite reactions. We die from lack of
knowledge. Large parts of America are in decline because of the dark age
thinking that in effect might makes right. It only increases the
reaction coming back at us significantly.

Obama made an African sojourn
this past week. He went to South Africa to walk in the steps of Nelson
Mandela. In the past the liberal left would be swooning over the event.
Now they are in full damage control mode. You see there were protesters lots of them
calling Obama an Uncle Tom. They were unhappy about his receiving an
honourary degree at the University of Cape Town. The police were
required to fire rubber bullets into the crowd. Now if that isn't an
Uncle Tom scenario, I don't know what is.

It
is sacrilage that Obama can even walk upon the ground that Nelson
Mandela walked upon. Nelson Mandela didn't run a spy surveillance grid.
Nelson Mandela didn't have a murderous drone program that at one time murdered 69 children in Chenegai
on October 30, 2006 in a school. So mass murderers should arm
themselves with drones and not AR15's to walk the moral high road.
Nelson Mandela didn't wage immoral wars in many regions of the world. It
is an abomination that Obama fouled the air near Mandela's place of
imprisonment for he runs a notorious prison just as bad if not worse that Robben Island.

The predictive programming of this picture is interesting. We see Obama as Hitler
which is in fact quite correct. We see a reference to WWIII. That could
be our future. We see the nuclear power plant in the background. The
good thing is people are figuring it out. South Africa's largest union
was involved in the protests. There is plenty of time for real change.

It's not too late to shut the door on Uncle Tom's cabin
