third man in the Campaign?
Where is the third man?
Two and a half thousand years ago the Israelites were more advanced in philosophy than the Greek. OK, they dit not know the word philosophy, which is a greek one. But quite clear was put forward their statement that there is one Primary Cause, which cannot be determined by men. Up to the present day this is valid, while Plato's ideas are ultimately unspecified if not formed according visible things in the world. Moreover all the people of Israel were taught and knew about the Force which was at the beginning and should not be identified as without supreme intelligence as Creation is complicated and wonderful. With a loan word from older times that was specified, being far above man's abilities and know how, as God.
In modern science the same way of thinking suits very well without any religious connexion. This though was different with the Israelites because they did assume a most important religious aspect, namely that like before the gods were to be honoured to get in return good harvest, health for oneself and death to the enemy: to the One Superior Being were ascribed positive qualities in regard of relations with mankind.
Today in church this is little different. Believers may vary on opinion how contacts between the personal God and earthlings develop. Our brain is not sufficiently known yet. Therefore excluding communication by eye, ear, dream, spirit or atmosphere, angels or other way with the Divine has no solid base.
The Jews still expect the Messiah to come and improve the relation. Undoubtedly this person will not take care of providing the Israelis with bigger cars while driving the Arabs into the sea. The Christians believe that the Messiah is messenger of God depicting Him as a caring father. So in the New Testament our status is raised from servants to children. The latter sit at the table together with the father and have some access to his wallet. Remember that in the Middle East the expression "father and son" often does not mean a physical relationship but stresses same opinion and same conduct.
The article in the WSJ of friday august 15 on tax plans of Obama shows that this candidate for the US presidency does not belong to such a "family" with God. Since Darwin we know about evolution of the body. Presently is assumed that also a spiritual evolution is going on, which needs experiencing illness, poverty and other things called bad. Otherwise we would become kind of zombies, not possessing a living heart feeling emotions, not "created after the image of God" but almost like a machine. That's exactly how Obama poses for the camera: One sees a happy, contented family with a hundred thousand dollar income; not like the majority of the Americans of which many are really poor, both in dollars and in spirit, not receiving proper education. Which of course should continue permanently, just like the doctor needs in order to do his job with best results.
In the article is explained that Obama will not really change the situation with very rich people separated from the lower categories, for he does not intend to get them at the same table by appropriate taxation, that will take away the feudal "lordship" status from the millionaires. In other words Barack Obama is not a real democrat.
In normal healthy democracy the people decide on main topics by referenda or meetings, after which parliament or congress takes care of working out and daily controll. This reflects that everybody is born free and with equal rights like art 1 of the UNO declaration on human rights tells. Or was expressed already in the Bible by descendancy from Adam. Who will deny that everybody is entitled to participating in counceling and decisionmaking, p.e. by such referenda? Refusal is not said in word but done in deeds by Congress! The majority of the Americans earns less than the average income per head. Only one percent of the population grabs 22% of national income in this country and add to this influence from such a huge amount of money. Obama sits on the upper range. In general it is no good to vote a person who earns more than you do yourself since his interest are proven not to ly on nearing each other. When he did not do so in the past why should you trust him to do so in future?
The majority of the Americans presently is forced to do what the rich and the influential categories decide. That 's not what the Constitution meant! Cahnge is urgently needed ond don't be hypnotized by those in power with words like threatening communism. Prefer reading the story of Eve who wanted to climb the ladder to superiority and like God has controll over human beings she wanted to grasp the same a big bit. Obama seems to be a heathen who goes to church in order to be taken good care of after big buying and spending possibilities on Earth. He is companion of many millionaires in this respect. Who despise the Commandment to reshare (after fifty years in the biblical context or now gradually via sufficient taxation) in order to give the looser a new chance but especially to provide youth with equal starting positions. Old Pentecoste in Israel was sharing first products of the new harvest; capitalists give only after own pockets have been filled. One of the Ten Commandments is that thou shallt not want the ox of the neighbour. For he needs it to plough. Otherwise there won't be income from his land. Multinationals try to get all oxes in own stable. When Boaz fell in love with beautiful Ruth the farmer was not allowed to pick up what accidentally fell to the ground during the harvest. For that was to the poor and the animals. But most people eat from bio-industry nowadays, not allowing the animals sun and rain. While one of the Commandments clearly gives sabbath to animals under human controll, which is strolling around at leisure in a natural environment. Priest and reverend say that in psalm 8 a better translation from the original is that man is ambassador of God instead of ruling (and suppressing) in the world. Every third child means more bio-industry. Fortunately it is possible to trace parents by DNA.
The state is needed to intervene when some steal from others, whether money, car, job, but also from Nature and spoiling it. The state must organize that the stronger shoulders have the bigger burdens. However both Mc Cain and Obama are no good in this: The rich men take a taxi as the cost of it is but a dime on their budget, while the poor man cannot even afford such transport when he has sore legs. They won't change this. Obama too wants to protect the millionaires and the billionaires. He is not up to one table from which everybody gets sufficient food of good quality. Many so called christians do not want such a table; in church they share only a tiny piece of bread and then hurry home to consume steak or meatball in apartheid. Is that good preparation for the table in heaven? Perhaps they won't arrive there.
The opinion of the Greek was that one had to accept the situation in society as it came. They made no progress compared to the Israelites. Later the Messiah called for brotherhood in stead of exploiting people.
Humain par la sagesse
de Dieu le Créateur
nous cherchons en noblesse
la liberté d'tout coeur.
Le droit pour chaque tête
s'appelle égalité;
sur Terre se rend une fête
plein de fraternité.
So at next presidential election a quite different candidate than Obama and Mc Cain is needed. It is the responsability of the intellectuals to find such a person, if not in the States then from abroad. In the White House he will end capitalism which is aimed at own profit and such unlimited even if harming other creatures. He will work on coöperative companies producing what the world needs, which is not too big cars dragging iron all around and causing energy crisis. The same for heavy iron containers which are like "invented" by insurance companies. He will see see to it that wild flora and fauna get sufficient territory, to which present states have to shrink. Like Antarctica is kept humanfree and under international controll the Amazone forest, parts of the Northamerican prairies, east-Siberia, the Sahara, the Himalaya and the Dreamland of the Australian Aboriginals will be cut loose from states and be kept as natural reservates.
Those now rich shall work like everybody else "with sweat on their foreheads", doing also their share in dirty work. This brings closer to God as explained in the Holy Book. Obviously it is not read by Obama and his companions with open eyes. He is not worthy to become president of the USA.
On the international scene nothing is heard from Obama on correcting the Washington false act of allowing Jakarta to seize Papualand and have its culture attacked by massive immigration. That's like white Europeans or black Africans invade Indian reservates and dominate there. This man won't be fit to guide the world on the road of freedom and democracy.
Then where is the third man or woman?
