THE BLUEPRINT OBAMA FOLLOWS TO ACHIEVE ABSOLUTE POWER



OBAMA'S DRIVE FOR ABSOLUTE POWER





Watch Obama's actions and listen to his words, you will see that each follows one or more of the following laws for achieving absolute power. It is ABSOLUTE POWER that Obama craves, that he wants with all his being.

That is why Obama must never be allowed to achieve as close to absolute power one can get: the Presidency of the United States.

Power, Seduction and War: The Robert Greene Blog has expanded many of the themes from this book, which he commonly refers to as the POWER book.
The 48 Laws of Power is an abridged online version of the book.

The 48 Laws of Power is a 1998 book by Robert Greene. The book shares thematic elements with Niccolò Machiavelli's The Prince[1] and has been compared to Sun-Tzu's classic treatise The Art of War.

Greene uses anecdotes from historical figures such as Louis XIV, Talleyrand, Otto von Bismarck, Catherine the Great, Mao Zedong, Haile Selassie, Lola Montez, Saul Alinsky and various con artists in order to illustrate real-world application of the 48 rules. Greene's modern courtship theory was inspired by the writings of Baltasar Gracian and Niccolò Machiavelli.[citation needed] Greene also often tries to use an amoral approach, mimicking Machiavellian language, leaving the reader to weigh the ethical implications of the laws.

I shall elaborate on these "power laws" in future posts* to this blog, concentrating on how the Alinsky instructions--many of them incorporated in the "48 Laws of Power" listed above--are being followed by Obama.

To get a head start in this endeavor, you can look at What is "Community Organizing?" - and how does it relate to Barack Obama and see how the Alinsky rules for Radicals compare with the "48 Laws of Power."

Also, if you have not done so already, please be sure to read the eye-opening Obama and Fidel Castro Compared - and if you think you know all about the O-man, you're gonna be surprised
