Political Reasons Why Obama Will Make No Beneficial Difference and Improve Nothing

If we look to newscasts, current affairs programmes, the printed media, many political websites and supposedly religious websites there appears to be a great deal of excitement over the possibility of the U.S. presidency of Senator Barack Obama. There is a feeling among many of the disbelievers among the American public, especially among black westerners who the Obama campaign appeals to, that because Obama is black and is calling for change, he represents a large political and cultural shift not only in American society but also 'hopefully' for the American political establishment. The extended hope of non-American disbelievers (and some naive and ignorant Muslims) is that this expected change will mark a turning point in American and Western European relations with the rest of the world, especially the Muslim world. The reason for this excitement is that people are easily misled by cosmetic changes and appearances rather than substance. On the part of Muslims, or those claiming to be Muslims, the reason is also because they do not understand properly the definition of 'good' in the first place, and do not understand that the better circumstances for the world are not indicated by colour and this demonstrates their confusion over the foundations of a good society and the aim and objectives revealed for the Muslims in particular. Therefore, Barack Obama being a black American citizen, has drawn alot of support from black Americans and even so called 'Muslims' who have vowed to vote for him. Obviously this is a contradiction as Muslims can not participate in an election whose aim is to appoint a figure who will uphold and legislate new laws or approve existing ones whose source is other than revelation. As is known by necessity from Islam, we worship Allah by implementing His Laws that apply to all affairs of life both individual and collective. However, for these potential voters who are pledging support, Obama represents change in the American political establishment, not only because of his colour, in that America has never had a black president but also because he has campaigning under a banner of 'change'. We now list below some of the reasons why this is a fallacy, illusion and mistake:-

 

The Political Reasons Why Obama will make no difference to the Status Quo

 

1) ANOTHER COG IN THE ESTABLISHMENT MACHINERY:

Barack Obama, being a U.S. Senator and striving for the U.S. Presidency, is firmly a part of the U.S. secular establishment. The U.S. enshrines in its constitution the principle of secularism, that is, the separation of religion and revelation from the affairs of law and government. The message of all prophets was exactly the opposite of that and thus Islam, the final revelation, opposes the constitutions of USA, France, Britain and all countries in the world including those in the Muslim world (Pakistan, Iraq, Indonesia, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Turkey, Nigeria etc) because they are secular. Revelation was not just sent to teach people how to pray, but also how to interact socially, how to trade, how to judge, how to educate, how to rule and how to deal with other nations and governments. If a person is a secularist then they are part of the problems of the world and not part of the solution. The case of Obama is just another secular man already part of the secular system striving for a secular position where the only changes are that of policy and label.

 

2) NO CHANGE WITH THE ESTABLISHMENT PARTIES:

Barack Obama is a member of the Democractic Party which is one of the two mainstream political parties in the USA which fluctuates power with the Republican Party. Barack Obama needs to maintain support from this party not only to be elected and remain effective in government but also to remain in government.

 

3) ANOTHER DEMOCRACY:

Barack Obama is a follower of the political system known as 'Democracy', that is the rule by the people (or of the people, by the people, for the people as Abraham Lincoln put it) i.e. man-made law, law's emanating from the minds of men. Elections are based upon decisions of majorities as are the votes of the legislators (in the American case senators, congressman and the President). The common people are in theory the basis for their own government as they elect representatives to govern on their behalf. Leaving the dissection of the theory and practise of democracy aside, it is this same American system of democracy that has brought the destruction for decades upon Iraq and other parts of the Muslim world (Afghanistan, Libya, Sudan, Iran, Palestine etc) through military and economic attack (via sanctions etc). It is this American system of democracy that has allowed the American private corporations to exploit the Muslim world, not only through the usurping of oil resources but also through the drive for military destruction and rebuilding schemes where an invading country charges the victim for rebuilding what it has destroyed of infrastructure, schools etc. It is democracy operating in Global political organizations (such as the U.N.) that has continued to support and even sanction these evil actions. It is American democracy and democracy as a whole globally, that has declared war on Islam and Muslims under the banner of the 'War on Terror' because it has seen that people the world over are awakening to the fact that the global secular establishment has been for a long time oppressing, cheating, deceiving and murdering people for reasons they seldom reveal. It is the adherents of 'Freedom and Democracy' (itself a contradiction in terms) that have supported the War on Islam because they know that Islam is the alternative that once existed successfully and is again coming to life in pockets of awakened Muslims, scattered throughout the world who are determined to see the revival of the Islamic civilization. Democracy is indeed the enemy of all mankind, because it draws mankind into slavery of  its own ignorance and blinds them from the supreme laws Revealed through the Prophets (such as Ibraheem [Abraham] {as}, Moosa [Moses] {as}, Ee'sa [Jesus] {as} & Muhammad {saw}). It is man-made law that has allowed elites to become politically dominant, enacting laws and procedures that benefit the few (in a short term material sense) at the expense of the majority. It is the ever changing laws of man, devoid of a fixed criteria which ensures accountability, that have enabled people to be slaves of regimes the world over which do not work in their interests but who exploit the people's negligence of their true origins and purpose. Therefore, it is clear that a follower of democracy only solidifies the existing oppression upon the masses.

 

4) THE AMERICAN MASSES & ELITE ARE SERVANTS OF THE CONSTITUTION:

The American masses, including the political elite and the anti-governmental organizations all pledge allegiance to the U.S. constitution symbolized by the flag of the United States. If a president was to significantly contradict the structure or objectives of the constitution, such as its underlying ideology of secularism, then the president would be removed by another part of the constitutional apparatus. So many of those who oppose the administration of Bush highlight how he is dissolving some rights of the people granted to them by the constitution, this means the change can only be gradual or minor due to the U.S. being a constitutional system. To bring a change in the constitution is something the president can not achieve alone, it rather has to be passed by the legislative body as a whole.

 

5) THE U.S. POLITICAL SYSTEM IS STRUCTURED TO MAINTAIN ITS CONTINUITY OF SECULAR IDEOLOGY: The U.S. constitution possesses a separation of powers - Judicial, Legislative and Executive. The U.S.A. is not an absolute monarchy whereby a change of king may significantly change the lives of the people, rather it is secular republic where genuine influence, control and power is in the hands of oligarchies rather than the masses or individual citizens. But on the issue of the separation of powers of government, then the president is restricted by the support of congress and the senate as well as the actual implementation of law by the judiciary. In practise presidents operate by having allegiance with significant numbers of those in the senate, congress and judiciary (usually from their own party). In addition to this, the U.S. president is restricted to two terms of office (despite claims of it being the leading democracy the people can not have the president they may want for a third term). So in the fantasy world of a president making major changes in American foreign policy and political culture, he would have to be followed up by another similar figure for the changes to have any protruded effect.

 

6) ANOTHER TOKEN BLACK FACE TO CALM THE RAGE AND PAINT OVER THE CRACKS:

USA is also suffering from racial tensions due to the growth of the Hispanic, white and black sense of 'self pride' or tribalism and racism. There are Mexicans who are in USA now who have a vision of recovering States that were lost to the European settlers in the creation of the South Western States (California, New Mexico, Texas etc). This growing conflict is being furthered by Media coverage of 'illegal' immigration and the issue being highlighted by some 'patriot' organizations. The tribal and racial divisions are combined with a cultural, historical and linguistic heritage being promoted (by all parties) and this sometimes exists as a supremacist outlook. As one group develops in this way then all other groups begin to react and polarize in a similar manner. In Los Angeles CA. there are perhaps 50,000 Mexican gang members (probably the majority of them armed). The black armed gangs are well known about as popularized by rap music and culture and the deviant yet widely propagated beliefs of the 'Nation of Islam' (an organization which although adopting some Islamic terminology, actually has nothing to do with the revealed beliefs, laws and community of Islam at all, Modern Christianity and Judaism even being closer to the teachings of the Quran than it). Prisons in USA are now dominated by Mexican-Hispanic gangs, Black gangs or White supremacists. There is though another related phenomena and that is large conversions in U.S. prisons to Islam, mainly among the blacks. (but also increasing among Hispanics and some whites). So where does Obama come into all of this? Well in a cosmetic and superficially thinking culture, Obama is black and so he can not said to be racist (by other blacks) so this in some way cools down the feelings of ghettoized blacks in places like New York, Los Angeles, Chicago and the South Eastern States. It also goes some way to demonstrating a turn away from the history of black slavery (even though Obama is not descended from the imported slavery). Obama is also multi-racial and so can not be the cause of a rift between different racial groups as he has links to black slave America through his wife (a point he has made in his speeches), he appeals to the likes of the Nation of Islam whose charlatan leader has pledged support (this then appeals to the Black supremacy movement which has gathered hundreds of thousands in the past). Obama also links back to Africa and thus is a representative of all Africans and through his Kenyan roots (where many Indians and Bangladeshis migrated to) also links in to South East Asians (such as  Pakistanis, Afghans, Indians). Obama has a white mother, so this means on his campaign trail he can say to the whites 'I'm also one of you, don't worry, I'm not going to legislate against you'. He has a 'leaked' Muslim background and Muslim extended family and so appeals to all Muslims (an easy task in USA where there are so many US education establishment indoctrinated Muslims with kufr views on democracy). He has oriental links due to his partial upbringing in Indonesia and his bloodline through his father and so appeals to the large oriental community in the USA. In short, he's being presented as containing something of everyone in him, so he can lead everyone to the promised land.

 

7) COLOUR CODED MIND-CONTROL - TRACK RECORD OF BIG BLACK HOPES:

One of the strangest things is that people expect there to be a sweeping change due to a black person rising up the levels in the American establishment. Why do people get excited if they see another colour signing the same tune of the establishment? If we look to previous examples we see that such figures are even further ingrained in the secular system and try their best to be accepted (similar to black and Asian examples in British parliament, along with the token Muslim faces who are zealous in demonstrating their apostasy, rejection of Islam and mind slavery to the British establishment) There have been many black politicians, judges and lawyers in U.S. society along with a whole range of fully integrated celebrities waving the American flag in the worlds of music, media and sport. Rice and Powell the highest ranking black politicians, famous names in the Bush administration, were so useful in bringing justice that they took leading roles in the largest military aggression against the Muslim world so far by the USA, the latest wars against the Muslims of Iraq and Afghanistan! So what did all the other leading black figures in American society do? Well in most cases they either came out to show their support for the American military, did nothing or were totally ineffective. Indeed the American mind control of secularism and patriotism has been so effective that the military is full of the descendants of black slaves along with people who actually think they are Muslim while fighting for the American Taaghoot government against Muslims! A matter that the Qura'n declares to be clear kufr in many verses. Even if we look to the likes of Farrakhan head of the ridiculous Nation of Islam kaafir sect, an organization that claims to be revolutionary and anti-establishment, we see clearly the moves of Farrakhan after the World Trade Center collapse, he made sure he made many clear statements showing his allegiance to America and wanting to distance himself from anything which may be interpreted as being hostile to the American government and military. Indeed, the only associate of Obama (his Christian black pastor who himself was so anti-establishment that he was in the U.S. army himself!) who displayed any anti-establishment feelings and highlighted some of the American hypocrisy and oppression was quickly distanced from the Obama camp.

 

8) OBAMA'S PATRIOTISM:

The speeches of Obama are full of American patriotism because American society is very much run on grounds of self interest and bonding all immigrant and descended immigrants together to serve common goals. The USA is like a place of hijrah for all those in the world who believe in Capitalism, Freedom, Secularism and Democracy. The USA gathers those who left Europe and those who were brought in by force of slavery and those who come seeking refuge from the troubles in South America (apparently created by North American military interference and economic strategies). The pledging of allegiance to the flag, the declaration to uphold the constitution, the vibrations and demonstrations of national unity that permeate the American culture and political system are no more evident than in the presidential campaigns which can not get anywhere without such displays of  flag waving, with hand on chest etc.   

 

9) THE ILLUSION OF CHANGE:

People do not like change when they are comfortable and everything is going well, but when a nation experiences violent crime and murder, astronomical rape statistics, endemic drug abuse, economic collapse, racial and religious tension and total distrust in a political establishment who seem to always benefit while everyone else suffers, including the grieving families thousands of lost lives in overseas misadventures, people want change. They want change even though they don't know what sort of change would be required. Barack Obama is the man for change, or that's what the campaign banner says. Barack Obama is clearly receiving support from the Secular establishment as he is being used as a new tool to further dupe the people into submission and compliance. This is like when someone asks you to drink poison and the person refuses only to later submit when the poison is given in a new glass (perhaps mixed with cola). The reason for this change of tactic by the establishment is that there exists now in USA a swell of public opposition to the political establishment. There is anti-government feeling due to some cases of corruption exposed, economic hardship and a growing awareness due to independent sources available now in the internet age revealing governmental conspiracies. The USA also has (unlike Europe) alot more independent radio stations which regularly present alternative political analysis and have made some conspiracy analysts very popular along with their views. The USA unlike the atheist driven educational establishment in Europe contains many strongly religious people such as the fundamentalist Christians who have grown in opposition to what they rightly see as a Satanic government in Washington. Even the election of G. W. Bush was partly made possible by his declared Christianity and the Christian coalitions' support. There is also seen to be a Satanic collaboration between large business corporations in the USA and the government and Military and Internal Security forces, where all assist each other in furthering their control over the population via technology, surveillance, taxation and Police State tactics. Laws claimed to be enacted for the protection of the people are gradually used against all the people for any opposition to the monstrous State machinery. The same is the case in the UK and Western Europe, where under the banner of 'fighting terror', laws are enacted every year which tighten the grip on the people's movement and viewpoints so that people increasingly feel caged, silenced and 'guilty' for having a mind and a conscience. The opposition to the establishment in the USA has become so clear that even the President has addressed conspiracy theories in his speeches and the mainstream tightly controlled television Media has to make a regular attack on opposition groups. Some analysts in America fear that the USA may well break up along religious political lines or even on racial lines due to the growing racial bonding and armed gangs. So what is the best way for the establishment to redirect the antagonist energy from this growing opposition to the establishment? The best way is to deceive the masses by giving them a President who outwardly appears to meet some of their social and political demands.  And he campaigns under a banner for 'change' which is a subliminal declaration of (that is for marketing the lie) 'Hey I'm not with this self serving political establishment, I'm one of you, I'm here to turn it all over and give power back to the people.' Obama also appeals to a religious card by his Christianity which is always going to go down well with millions in America (which was originally a place of refuge for Puritan Protestants, then later for displaced Catholics) thus satisfying alot of the Christian coalition, southern baptists etc. So all of this illusion of revolution of policy and process is achieved by two cosmetic issues - a campaign banner of change and a mixed race black candidate. In secular societies brought up on slogans of freedom, democracy and human rights people are easily misled as they are not used to analysing and judging on the basis of the more significant issues of beliefs, actions, systems, relationships and ideologies. Those who have campaigned against or even rejected the American establishment due to a feeling of racial prejudice etc. will have the subliminal message now that the government is not racist because it is controlled by a black man.

 

10) MORE DECEPTION FOR THE MUSLIMS:

Barack Obama has been subject to an antagonistic campaign due to his 'leaked' Muslim background and 'questionable' allegiances. With a middle name of 'Hussein' and reports that he went to a madrassah (in reality just a secular Indonesian school). These type of anti-Muslim (even though he is not a Muslim) vibrations allow the mind control of the masses to extend to the Muslim world as well as the domestic U.S. Muslim (many by name only) population. This is of course helped by Obama being partly African and non-White (which emphasizes  the cultural-ethnic difference with white western Europe and the US WASP elite ruling class even further). All of this is obviously absurd considering his American education, upbringing and allegiance as well as his declared Christianity. He has declared he wants a 'dialogue' with all and enact a new way of dealing with the world. This all appeals to the naive and dull witted in the Muslim World and allows some of the hostility against the American led war on Muslims ('Terror') to be cooled down. This cooling, due to the implicit promise of change of American foreign policy due to having a President who will supposedly be 'just' because of his mixed background (as though being just is achieved by sharing ancestry or ethnicity). This means 'moderate' (itself a kaafir mind control term) and munaafiq voices in the Muslim world will have further opportunity to rally the crowds to support American actions political, educational, economic and even military, against Muslim targets, as these new battles against Islam will not be led by a white man but an 'understanding' half black African.

 

11) THE COVERT GROUPS REMAIN IN PLACE:

The U.S.A. (like most other parts of the world) is dominated by covert power elites which operate on various levels behind the scenes in all the spheres of society. There is no way one man can come along and suddenly overrun all of these influences and powers. In fact anyone reaching to the level of presidential contender must be being directly or indirectly supported by these forces. That is, if these organizations are not directly commanding the individual, they are being allowed to operate due to these organizations seeking a benefit and continuation of their system. Some of these groups include:-

12) ZIONIST LOBBY AND MEDIA:

To prove the intrinsic pro Zionist workings of the American establishment, every president makes his annual speech to the Zionist lobby as though he was making promises to his real masters. Even the presidential candidates go an make a grovelling speech to the Zionist lobby, telling them how much they love Israel and how much they want to support it and how important Israel is to the USA (obviously as a mechanism to stop political Islam in the middle east and keep the Muslims oppressed as well as the actual occupation of Palestine by the creation of Israel itself.) Presidential candidate, McCain declared that America's alliance with Israel (against Muslims) like Israel itself, if forever! Obama as predicted went and made the same correct vibrations to promise the Israelis and American Jews that he is a genuine opponent of Islam and slave of Israeli-American mechanisms.

 

13) NEO-CON LOBBY IS STILL ALIVE:

The powerful neo-conservative lobby which dominated so much of the Republican party, Pentagon and the Bush administration is still alive and well in USA. Just because the Neo-con plans were exposed and their theories and war plans failed and created problems for the Bush administration this does not mean they no longer wield influence. Rather they include many active elitist organizations in the USA. Those who follow their views (which mainly consist of an America heavily militarized and always actively aggressive against Muslims and strengthening Israel) are abundant in the USA anyway, and exist in Business, Media and the spread throughout governmental departments. So PNAC (Project for a New American Century), AEI (American Enterprise Institute) along with AIPAC do not even have to exist, nor the label of 'neo-conservatism' for them to be filled with proponents of the same doctrine or other organizations to fill any vacuum made by the growing public awareness. The former leaders of the neo con gang may have been publicly humiliated and subjected to public blame fro their sending Americans to their death in Iraq and Afghanistan, but the feelings which drive them will be replaced with the new spokespeople.

 

14) PRO-ISRAELI OBAMA:

It is well known to all who have some grounding in the basics of American society that the United States is riddled with Zionist influences. There are alot of pro-Israeli Jews in Hollywood and the American News media and several pro-Israeli pressure groups such as AIPAC (American Israeli Public Affairs Committee). There have been so many zionist jewish or zionist christian figures in American governments that its not worth mentioning them. As for Obama then he has already made his pro-Zionist speeches to AIPAC and as the Jerusalem Post notes, he has many prominent Jewish supporters and financial contributors. Even some of the reservations that some Zionist organizations and media groups have uttered are not in any way a move against Israel, but simply diplomatic means to extend Israel's life.

 

15) OBAMA SUGGESTS A NEW CRUSADE - ANTI-IRAN AND ANTI-PAKISTAN:

Iran although not a truly Islamic State has shown out of the existing states in the Muslim world the most opposition to the U.S.A. Imperialism, thus it is always a target of economic sanctions etc. However, Iran also makes relations with other States with have clearly oppressed and killed Muslims (Syria, Russia etc). Pakistan, although being another kufr secular State, was in the minds of many of its early citizens established for the sake of Islam (but they were misled by secularist murtadd leaders due to them not understanding how tawheed manifests in government). The military of Pakistan although obviously being kaafir due to its allegiance with its taaghoot leadership, has contained many of Islamic emotions, reluctant to act against Islamic elements inside Pakistan and Afghanistan. Pakistan also contains various Muslim movements who declare they want Islamic governance established and contains many people who are wanting to worship Allah, support Muslims and Islamic causes. Obama has taken up the banner of American hatred towards political Islam by declaring his hostile intentions towards Iran and Pakistan. By this he also shows that he is the willing successor to receive the baton along with its main objective from previous administrations. The main motive of American foreign policy he is willing to take on, being the prevention of any future Islamic governance spreading through the Muslim world, the usurpation of resources in the Muslim world and the extension of secular educational, economic and political control over the Muslim world.

 

16) A CHANGE OF LABELS AND COLOUR ONLY CHANGES THE LABEL AND COLOUR:

Change is not about changing a leader's colour and a slogan of 'change' but change in peoples affairs is brought about by change of beliefs and ideology, radical change occurs by the change of public opinion, awareness and behaviour and by the change of systems of government. Put a bar of chocolate in a new coloured wrapping and call it a different name, it is still the same bar of chocolate.

 

17) SOCIETAL  CHANGE IS NOT JUST A CHANGE OF HEAD:

One of the ridiculous ideas in the media and the supposed analysis about Obama is that he promises to bring change throughout America and the world. Even if we removed ourselves from reality and imagined that Obama was a new type of politician and desired to bring comprehensive change to America and the world, then it is clear that this would not happen with the change of one man even if he was the head man. A society is not just built upon its leader. In reality a leader is part of a wider government and the government is only a small part of the governmental apparatus. The system of government is also connected to its regional governors and representatives. It is not only the representational, legislative and executive branch of government but also the judiciary (the various courts and judges) which enact the law in practise when it is contradicted. Government though, is not the only aspect of society that needs to be considered, rather it is the systems of society which organise all the collective affairs of life (economic, educational, social etc) and more importantly the ideology upon which those systems are based and the actual people who make up the society and their viewpoints, actions and relationships, with each other and with the systems that surround them. Society does not change just be the change of one individual leader even if he had the most determination. It is for this reason that when we encounter a corrupted society and a corrupted oppressive regime, just simply removing the leader by force or other means does not change the situation. If we look to the way the Muslim world has been continuously subject to oppressive regimes, how many of these regimes significantly changed because of the death of a leader? In reality the system continues as the leader is just replaced by his son's oppression or another tyrant hand picked by the covert rulers of that country whether they are internal or external. If we look at all the various changes of president in the USA (also keep in mind that the American system forces a change of president by restricting his office to two terms), how much as this led to a change in American society? The society has not changed because the president is not the only arm of government and the government is not the only aspect of society. It is partly for this reason that the Islamic da'wah is not only addressed to the leaders but is addressed to the people as a whole, including the people of power and influence and the Islamic method of change is focussed on the foundational ideas of the society and its systems and relationships. Islam became the leading civilization not because of a change of leader but because of a change of beliefs, laws, relationships and systems. The powerful influences and control mechanisms upon the American society, culture and system then, are not just contained in the individual office of the president but also in the media, the educational institutions at all levels, lobby groups, the giant political parties, the judiciary and the legal profession, the military, the covert security forces, the financial establishment and the religious institutions.
