Obama The Obsequious

by Thomas A. Droleskey

James Earl Carter, part deux, aka Barack Hussein Obama, aka Caesar Obamus, aka Barry Soetero, aka Obama the Red, aka Obama the Obsequious, is has concluded his visit bowing and scraping to the murderous thugs who govern Red China. Fearing to offend America's banker, the pro-abortion Obama, who, of course has never condemned Red China's policies, whether past or present, of forced abortion, forced sterilization, of one child-per-family, has soft-pedaled "human rights" in his visit to the land where so much innocent blood has been shed in the past sixty years under Communist rule.

Indeed, Obama the Obsequious's Communications Director, Anita Dunn, is an open admirer of the murderer named Mao Zedong. Obama the Obsequious is so blind to the intrinsic evil of Communism that he openly embraces and appoints to a senior position in his administration an admirer of one of the most murderous tyrants in human history. It is no wonder that Obama the Obsequious behaved in the manner that he did during his visit to the land of slave labor, the land where the body parts of political prisoners are dissected from them without anesthesia for sale on the international black market of body parts, the land where toxic chemicals are placed into food products and pharmaceutical products that are manufactured under the labels of American and/or multinational corporations to poison us. Obama the Obsequious decided to downplay "differences" with his Red Chinese paymasters in order to keep the Chinese funds flowing into the American economy.

Here is a report from The New York Times that demonstrates Obama's obsequious behavior when in the midst of his fellow Communists in Red China:

In six hours of meetings, at two dinners and during a stilted 30-minute news conference in which President Hu Jintao did not allow questions, President Obama was confronted, on his first visit, with a fast-rising China more willing to say no to the United States.

On topics like Iran (Mr. Hu did not publicly discuss the possibility of sanctions), China’s currency (he made no nod toward changing its value) and human rights (a joint statement bluntly acknowledged that the two countries “have differences”), China held firm against most American demands.

With China’s micro-management of Mr. Obama’s appearances in the country, the trip did more to showcase China’s ability to push back against outside pressure than it did to advance the main issues on Mr. Obama’s agenda, analysts said.

“China effectively stage-managed President Obama’s public appearances, got him to make statements endorsing Chinese positions of political importance to them and effectively squelched discussions of contentious issues such as human rights and China’s currency policy,” said Eswar S. Prasad, a China specialist at Cornell University. “In a masterstroke, they shifted the public discussion from the global risks posed by Chinese currency policy to the dangers of loose monetary policy and protectionist tendencies in the U.S.”

White House officials maintained that they got what they came for — the beginning of a needed give-and-take with a surging economic giant. With a civilization as ancient as China’s, they argued, it would be counterproductive — and reminiscent of President George W. Bush’s style — for Mr. Obama to confront Beijing with loud chest-beating that might alienate the Chinese. Mr. Obama, the officials insisted, had made his points during private meetings and one-on-one sessions.

Several China experts noted that Mr. Obama was not leaving Beijing empty-handed. The two countries put out a five-point joint statement pledging to work together on a variety of issues. The statement calls for regular exchanges between Mr. Obama and Mr. Hu, and asks that each side pay more attention to the strategic concerns of the other. The statement also pledges that they will work as partners on economic issues, Iran and climate change.

But despite a conciliatory tone that began weeks ago when Mr. Obama declined to meet the Tibetan spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama, before visiting China to avoid offending China’s leaders, it remains unclear whether Mr. Obama made progress on the most pressing policy matters on the American agenda in China or elsewhere in Asia.

The president has had to fend off criticism from American conservatives that he appeared to soften the American stance on the positioning of troops on the Japanese island of Okinawa, and for bowing to Japan’s emperor. (Under Friendly Veneer, China Pushes Back on Obama)

 

Anyone who believes that the errors of Russia have not been spreading as a direct result of the failure of Pope Pius XI or Pope Pius XII to fulfill Our Lady's request to consecrate Russia collegially with all of the world's bishops is deceiving himself very badly. The United States of America has a de facto president who, having been trained in his youth by a Marxist named Frank Marshall Davis, believes that Communism is a legitimate form of social organization. What an irony this is in light of the fact that it was twenty years ago this year that so many people were celebrating the collapse of the Berlin Wall as representing the victory of the materialistic West over the materialistic East. The collapse of the Berlin Wall was simply a subterfuge by which the devil has permitted the errors of Russia to spread like wildfire throughout the West, including right here in the United States of America.

Obama the Obsequious is not the only one, however, to believe that he can persuade his fellow murderers (Obama has issued executive orders to permit the surgical assassination of innocent children in their mothers' wombs with American taxpayer dollars by means of international "family planning" programs) to adopt "democracy" over the course of time. That Red China remains a Communist dictatorship that has increased its leverage in the world, particularly over the currency and the economic standing of the United States of America, is the result of obsequiousness of the part of every president from the time of Richard Milhous Nixon to Gerald Rudolph Ford, Jr., to James Earl Carter, Jr., to Ronald Wilson Reagan to, most especially, George Herbert Walker Bush to William Jefferson Blythe Clinton to George Walker Bush to Obama the Obsequious (or Soetero the Stupid).

Not to be outdone in kowtowing to the Red Chinese dictators is, of course, the man who wished a blessing on Obama the Obsequious and all his work, Joseph Ratzinger/Benedict XVI, who continues to make "nice-nice" with the Communist authorities in the world's most populous nation, seemingly incapable of understanding why the Chicoms have not accepted his virtual handover of the underground church there to them on a figurative silver platter (see A Betrayal Worthy of the Antichrist, Red China: Workshop for the New Ecclesiology, and Apostasy: A Model of Reconciliation). Although Ratzinger/Benedict has pleaded with the bishops and priests of the underground church to register and cooperate with the rump church in Red China, the Chinese Patriotic Catholic Association. the Chicoms have responded with diffidence as they want total capitulation. Tarcisio "Cardinal" Bertone, the conciliar Vatican's Secretary of State, is making yet another effort to sell out the underground Catholics in Red China once and for all:

VATICAN CITY, NOV. 17, 2009 (Zenit.org).- Catholic faithful in China are reflecting on the essential elements of the Year for Priests with the help of a reflection written by Benedict XVI's secretary of state.

Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone sent a letter Nov. 10 to Chinese priests and bishops on the occasion of the Year for Priests. It was released by the Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples on Monday.

The cardinal draws from two papal messages -- the letter convoking the Year for Priests and the 2007 letter to the Church in China -- to help his readers reflect on themes such as the centrality of the Word of God and the importance of Eucharistic life.

He begins his letter with "an invitation to hope."

The cardinal recalled how the Holy Father's 2007 letter gives guidelines for "reconciliation within the Catholic community and a respectful and constructive dialogue with the civil authorities, without renouncing the principles of the Catholic faith. "

Cardinal Bertone affirmed that in this regard, "the information that has come from different parts of China points also to signs of hope."

The secretary of state goes on to note how the Church in China has had abundant vocations for the last 50 years.

But, he said, citing the Holy Father's letter, "this flowering is accompanied, today, by not a few difficulties. The need therefore emerges both for more careful vocational discernment on the part of Church leaders, and for more in-depth education and instruction of aspirants to the priesthood and religious life."

Cardinal Bertone continues to cite Benedict XVI's exhortation to "take steps to ensure, on the one hand, particular attention in the care of vocations and, on the other hand, a more solid formation with regard to the human, spiritual, philosophical-theological and pastoral aspects, to be carried out in seminaries and religious institutes.'" (Cardinal Bertone Writes Church in China; the folks at Zenit have lost their minds again. They are sending me dispatches after they had stopped for quite some time. Yesterday's was the first one in about two years, I believe.)

 

"Constructive dialogue with the civil authorities, without renouncing the principles of Catholic faith"? What was it that Pope Pius XI had to say about any cooperation with Communists? Hmmm. Let me see. Ah, yes, here it is:

In this renewal the Catholic Press can play a prominent part. Its foremost duty is to foster in various attractive ways an ever better understanding of social doctrine. It should, too, supply accurate and complete information on the activity of the enemy and the means of resistance which have been found most effective in various quarters. It should offer useful suggestions and warn against the insidious deceits with which Communists endeavor, all too successfully, to attract even men of good faith.

On this point We have already insisted in Our Allocution of May 12th of last year, but We believe it to be a duty of special urgency, Venerable Brethren, to call your attention to it once again. In the beginning Communism showed itself for what it was in all its perversity; but very soon it realized that it was thus alienating the people. It has therefore changed its tactics, and strives to entice the multitudes by trickery of various forms, hiding its real designs behind ideas that in themselves are good and attractive. Thus, aware of the universal desire for peace, the leaders of Communism pretend to be the most zealous promoters and propagandists in the movement for world amity. Yet at the same time they stir up a class-warfare which causes rivers of blood to flow, and, realizing that their system offers no internal guarantee of peace, they have recourse to unlimited armaments. Under various names which do not suggest Communism, they establish organizations and periodicals with the sole purpose of carrying their ideas into quarters otherwise inaccessible. They try perfidiously to worm their way even into professedly Catholic and religious organizations. Again, without receding an inch from their subversive principles, they invite Catholics to collaborate with them in the realm of so-called humanitarianism and charity; and at times even make proposals that are in perfect harmony with the Christian spirit and the doctrine of the Church. Elsewhere they carry their hypocrisy so far as to encourage the belief that Communism, in countries where faith and culture are more strongly entrenched, will assume another and much milder form. It will not interfere with the practice of religion. It will respect liberty of conscience. There are some even who refer to certain changes recently introduced into soviet legislation as a proof that Communism is about to abandon its program of war against God.

See to it, Venerable Brethren, that the Faithful do not allow themselves to be deceived! Communism is intrinsically wrong, and no one who would save Christian civilization may collaborate with it in any undertaking whatsoever. Those who permit themselves to be deceived into lending their aid towards the triumph of Communism in their own country, will be the first to fall victims of their error. And the greater the antiquity and grandeur of the Christian civilization in the regions where Communism successfully penetrates, so much more devastating will be the hatred displayed by the godless. (Pope Pius XI, Divini Redemptoris, March 19, 1937.)

Even Joseph Ratzinger/Benedict XVI scoffs at these words as he, in effect, tells Catholics in the underground church in Red China to make their peace with the Communist government. It is no wonder that the lords of the world continue to do so. It is no wonder that Obama the Obsequious, a committed apologist of Communism under the aegis of world governance, something that joins him at the him with Ratzinger/Benedict, has been bowing and scraping to the Red Chinese thugs.

This is all, of course, a Chastisement for our sins. We must see it as such, redoubling our efforts to live penitentially as the consecrated slaves of Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ through the Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary. 

Our Lady will help us to become apostles of the Social Reign of her Divine Son, Christ the King. She will help us to pray for those who have been oppressed by statist regimes, including that of the Red Chinese, in the past and those who are being persecuted by such regimes at this time. She will help us to pray for the conversion of Red China and the United States of America and of all countries to the Catholic Faith as part of the fruit of the Triumph of her Immaculate Heart once her Fatima Message is fulfilled.

Although we cannot consecrate Russia to her Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart, we can and must fulfill Our Lady's Fatima Message in our own lives as we pray as many Rosaries each day as our states-in-life permit, living penitentially as the clients of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus through her own Immaculate Heart, considering it our privilege to embrace with joy whatever sufferings that come our way as we try to make reparation for our sins and those of the whole world.

The statists in the world and the conciliarists in the counterfeit church of conciliarism lose in the end. May we pray for their conversion now as we pray for our own conversion every day so that we will be more and more conformed to the tender mercies of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus as Catholics who offer everything we have and do to this Heart of all hearts through the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

May we never be obsequious to the forces of the world, the flesh, and the devil in our own lives. May we always resist the evil in our own lives, never fearing to stand up for the fullness of Our Lord's Deposit of Faith as it is attacked by the lords of Modernity in the world and of Modernism in the counterfeit church of conciliarism. We must stand up to the forces of evil that threaten our own souls, and we must stand up to the forces of evil that are spreading so rapidly in the world, knowing that Our Lady stands with us as we do so as we proclaim to one and all that Catholicism and Catholicism alone is the one and only foundation of personal and social order, something that Pope Pius XI made clear in Quas Primas, December 11, 1925:

We firmly hope, however, that the feast of the Kingship of Christ, which in future will be yearly observed, may hasten the return of society to our loving Savior. It would be the duty of Catholics to do all they can to bring about this happy result. Many of these, however, have neither the station in society nor the authority which should belong to those who bear the torch of truth. This state of things may perhaps be attributed to a certain slowness and timidity in good people, who are reluctant to engage in conflict or oppose but a weak resistance; thus the enemies of the Church become bolder in their attacks. But if the faithful were generally to understand that it behooves them ever to fight courageously under the banner of Christ their King, then, fired with apostolic zeal, they would strive to win over to their Lord those hearts that are bitter and estranged from him, and would valiantly defend his rights.

Moreover, the annual and universal celebration of the feast of the Kingship of Christ will draw attention to the evils which anticlericalism has brought upon society in drawing men away from Christ, and will also do much to remedy them. While nations insult the beloved name of our Redeemer by suppressing all mention of it in their conferences and parliaments, we must all the more loudly proclaim his kingly dignity and power, all the more universally affirm his rights.
