"Is Barack Obama the ‘Manchurian Candidate’?
By Klaus Rohrich Tuesday, October 21, 2008

In October 1962 the film The Manchurian Candidate was released to rave reviews. Directed by John Frankenheimer and starring Frank Sinatra and Lawrence Harvey, the film was about a nefarious plot that involved brainwashing, an assassin with a post-hypnotic trigger and a conspiracy to deliver the US presidency into the hands of foreign enemies whose plan it was to destroy the country from within. Eventually cracks began to appear in the plot and in the end the evildoers met their just rewards.

Fast-forward 46 years into this year’s presidential contest between Barack Obama and John McCain. Out of nowhere Barack Obama appears on the scene full-blown and manages to snatch the democratic nomination from Hilary Clinton, despite his complete lack of experience in both domestic as well as foreign policy. In fact, Barack Obama’s experience is so thin that it isn’t even possible to ascertain exactly what he stands for, given that he voted ‘present’ on over 130 Senate bills.

Yet the mainstream media have embraced Obama as the Messiah, the Chosen One, the One Who Will Bring About Hope and Change. No matter that there is no voting record or even a clear history of Obama’s activities since graduation, save and except that he was a ‘community organizer’. Most candidates for political office including those running for dogcatcher of Gnarled Gulch, Montana face close scrutiny by the electorate and especially the media.

But it appears that no amount of subterfuge and skullduggery with which Barack Obama is associated, is enough to raise any questions about his suitability to hold the highest office in the land. Call me paranoid, but suppose there is a vast left-wing conspiracy to take over the United States, there wouldn’t be a better time to do it than now and it seems that there’s no better candidate to do it than Barack Obama.

Let’s look at some of the scandalous and tawdry affairs with which the presumptive president has been associated.

The reason the dinosaur media (like so many other special interest groups) has bet the rent money on Obama is because they've seen their market share and influence decline with the rise of the Internet and talk radio. Should Obama win November 4, you will see much more regulation of the latter two media. Already, Democrats are rumbling about reintroducing the Orwellian-named "Fairness Doctrine" and taming the Internet through taxes and other government-imposed changes. It's clear that Democrats are lovers of freedom of speech...so long as it comports with the party line.

The republicans are no better at free speech.

I think "Manchuria" already owns us.

Did you even watch the Manchurian Candidate? Or better yet, read the book (way better than the movie, as usual). The candidate was from a firmly entrenched political family and had been a prisoner of war of Communists in the Korean War (Conflict, whatever you prefer). If anything, the one most likely to be the Manchurian Candidate in this election is McCain or Songbird as the North Vietnamese called him.
