   Barack Obama — I seem to have dropped my ‘change’.

   Wen Jiabao — Mr. Snowden informed us that he picked that up for you….among other things you have lost.

   You have to wonder why Obama bows like that, it is so obsequious (and ancient, and empty ritual) in the eyes of Westerners, especially Americans, who traditionally and largely reject class distinctions. A holdover habit from a past life, or is he facing Mecca, perhaps? He is bowing so low in the photo above–although I know he instinctively grabs for the high moral ground so he can feel personally superior–that it’s possible he has read or heard that, in the Orient among the higher classes, the one who, upon meeting, bows the lowest, is in the superior position. It is also, to me, just another form of his addiction to lying, of misrepresenting himself in the service of his obviously runaway ambitions–some satirically call him The One (or The Emperor), but I’m sure he seriously sees himself as The One. His positions are always couched as sanctimonious moral demands, from on high, rather than based upon the best evidence and good reasoning.

     I’m pretty sure he was looking for his lighter.

   “But this guy, supposedly the most powerful man in the world, bows down? I’m of two minds here, the first being that he’s suffering from AAIIS and is simply insecure and unsure of himself. That would seem to be borne out by his wimpy acquiescence to the horrid disrespect shown him by the Russians on repeated occasions. The other, more sinister, view I must consider is that he intentionally seeks to debase our nation in the theater of world politics for purposes of advancing his socialist agenda. Remember the basic tenet of socialism: it is a leveling of all things, including nations.

   What more graphic demonstration of the leveling of geopolitical power could there be than the leader of the world’s most powerful nation-state bowing to third world tyrants?”

   I’ll go with what’s behind door #2, Monty.

     Granted the bowing is absurd.
     But that isn’t a third world dictator, its the Emperor of Japan.

       The article I linked is not addressing the emperor, it illustrates a habit of Skeeter showing subservience to all others. That may play well in Pyong Yang, but not here on Main St.

         Ok I agree.
         As a sign of my high regard for the gator, I thought you wrote that. Good quote though.

   Gator’s quote is appreciated, and #2 is more accurate; though I must say that so many people are still not understanding something that is important to understand about their enemies who seek to “convert or kill” them. The tenet of equality among nations is a tenet of Marxism, but not per se of Leninism. Leninism holds that some communist nations should be stronger so that they can preserve communism for all the nations, at least in the short to medium term. Thus Obama, who is one of the consummate Leninists of the last 80 years, believes that a nation that rejects communism must be debased as much as necessary to bring it into line, while one that has already embraced it must be elevated and exalted as much as possible, to reinforce the preferred behavior in the people. Marx, who himself was massively insane and evil, would have probably been extremely uncomfortable with this if not horrified, but Lenin would recognize it as his eponymous philosophy, and applaud. My point is simply that it’s fine to call this socialism, since it is a type of socialism. But to really capture how bad it is, it is better to say what kind of socialism it is. One-party, state-sponsored, international secular communism, with the doctrine that the ends justify the means and that the needs of that one party are always held to be paramount over all other needs. That, in an extreme nutshell, is Lenin’s philosophy.

   That description does also have a lot in common with nazism (which I consider to be a descendant of Leninism); however since Leninism is and always was the stronger force, I think we do ourselves a disservice to call this nazism because it weakens the proof of what is happening here and thus strengthens our opponents in their effort to sow confusion.

   BTW for anyone who is interested, I have personal experience with such matters; my observations are not speculation. I have been close to such people and have had their confidence at times, and that is why I know that what I’ve read about the structure and history of the CPSU is also occurring here — because it’s been confirmed to me by many, very credible sources over many years. (Partly because I have sometimes been mistaken for a potential ally of theirs.) How successful it will be is of course another question, but it is certainly occurring.
