The little Luo

His origins verge on the mythological on his father’s side, from the same East Kenyan area as the “original Adam*,” identified by our new skills in mitochondrial DNA and other methods, See

as the progenitor of all humans currently living, distinguished by “very complex language skills,” and the invention of the bow and arrow technology, of which the Pate islanders, off the coast of Kenya, are still masterly practitioners. All his cousin strands died out.

(*Note: That Jefferson had the M168 mutation on the Y (the male) chromosome pins him down as one of the descendants of the "original Adam," an East African male sixty thousand years ago. Jefferson displays those characteristics quite dramatically that scientists on the Kenyan island of Pate and in the research centers of the US think they can distinguish, a jutting jaw, expansion of the rear skull, a very complex language system, and a capacity for invention that makes him "the first distinctively modern" human, later spreading from East Africa through Asia and Europe.)

Of the white side of his ancestry, his devotion to his white grandmother who brought him up, in Hawaii and Indonesia, we are all over-informed already, but it’s important never to forget this strand, since it is the foundation of his demonstrated skill at the white man’s areas of expertise.

What else is important?

He’s a Chicago politician, and in Chicago politics is transaction-based, not ideology-driven.

He has a distinguished academic career, as editor of the Harvard Law Review.

Strong as his western expertise is, he shows signs of loyalty to other systems, like the figure of Hanuman, the monkey god, that he carries with him.

He is unashamedly uxorious, “orang marem” as they say in Java, a man devoted to his wife.

He shows signs that creating a consensus, as practiced by the Quakers in America and the Javanese royal court in Yogya, central Java, is a long term effort.

His desire to create a US consensus has resulted in his recruiting his main opponents, such as Hillary Clinton and Robert Gates, Bush’s military head, into his administration.

(As Mao Tse Tung pointed out, one of the main problems in a revolution, in putting the proletariat in charge, is that a farmer or a fisherman really can not run a railway system; the only people who know how to do that are the ones doing it before, and they therefore stay in charge of it.)

Two important negatives – (1) He is not a military man, as many of his predecessors and rivals are.

(2) He is not slave descended, as many US blacks are.

Obama is a Luo, the minority tribe in Kikuyu-dominated Kenya. That some not so sweet memories of the British in Kenya remain seems likely, but more important is the ancient skill of pacifying and keeping reasonably fruitful relations with the majority tribe. If a Luo came to power, would you expect him to make enemies all round by prosecuting crimes by previous administrations, or leave all those awesome powers Bush exercised in place, - might come in useful – and indeed increase some of them?

Whether for this reason or others, the legal steps taken (and more important, not taken, some would say, like the refusal to pursue any possible crimes of the Bush administration) have all been well to the right of the previous administration:

“So clear is the continuity between the Bush and Obama administrations in this area that the Wall Street Journal published an editorial Friday, headlined, "Obama Channels Cheney," hailing the new administration's stand on warrantless wiretapping. "The Obama Justice Department has adopted a legal stance identical to, if not more aggressive than, the Bush version," the newspaper's right-wing editorial board gloated.”

“During the presidential campaign, candidate Obama joined with the Bush administration in opposing any serious executive pay restrictions in the original TARP bailout legislation. As president elect, he lobbied to block attempts to attach meaningful compensation limits in the congressional authorization for the second $350 billion installment of TARP funds. And his administration intervened in the final stages of congressional action on his economic stimulus bill to sanction bonuses at AIG and other firms receiving government cash by exempting bonuses agreed to before the February 11 enactment of the stimulus legislation from limits on executive compensation.”

The argument of the Obama supporters is that as the President brings the ship of state into a long sweeping turn, the engineers and technicians must continue to perform their old jobs, (Remember Mao Tse Tung) but as the actions of the Obama administration continue to outflank Bush on the right, a demonization has also occurred:

“When Will It Start? Part II Rixon Stewart – March 31, 2009

This website anticipates that the coming weeks will see events of historic significance; and like the assassination of President Kennedy or 9/11, what unfolds will open the way for much wider conflict.

Kennedy’s assassination led to Vietnam, 9/11 brought us the “War on Terror”, Iraq and Afghanistan. What happens in the following weeks will ultimately bring us another war more destructive than all of those wars put together.

Although it’s still uncertain precisely how it will start there are a number of possibilities. For example we might see an Israeli attack on Iran, which falls short of its aims only to provoke a fierce Iranian counter strike; thereby opening the way for U.S. military intervention.

Or we might see that old speciality: a false flag terror attack or even an assassination of a high level political player. However, we’ve seen so many false flags recently that what worked with 9/11 and 7/7 might be seem too obvious now. So this time round we may see something a little different, like an assassination.

Whatever happens though, in the aftermath expect the finger of blame to be pointed at Iran, thereby paving the way for a full U.S./NATO strike.

Obama’s recent gestures toward Iran are part of this ruse. So far he has produced nothing concrete and nor will he, while his military plan and prepare for a strike on Iran; Obama will continue with fine words and empty gestures, simply acting the role of the “good guy”.

As detailed elsewhere, preparations are well underway for combined military strikes but they won’t remain limited to Iran. Because it’s likely to escalate into something much bigger with Pakistan and Syria coming alongside Iran together with Russia and eventually China too.

Yet whatever happens and however unexpected it may seem, it’s been long in the making. Indeed some months ago a psychic friend noted that China was making extensive preparations for war. Just as we reported, that western military commanders met secretly in New York State late last year; possibly to hammer out a coordinated military response to whatever unfolds in the coming weeks.



No actual resemblance but you get the idea

Nonetheless whatever transpires is only the opening act in a much bigger drama that has long been prepared for.

One might even call it a cosmic drama. Because waiting in the wings, ready to step-up and take command, as all hell breaks loose, is a figure long foretold by ancient prophets.

Christian esoteric researcher Rudolf Steiner and the ancient Zoroastrians knew him as Ahriman. While Muslims refer to him as ‘Al-Masih ad-Dajjal’, the great deceiver. Whatever he is called though he is an incarnation in human form of a powerful entity more commonly known today as Satan.

And here it should be noted that he is quite distinct from Lucifer, an entirely different entity who, according to Steiner, incarnated in ancient China nearly four thousand years ago.

Both are actively opposed to human spiritual evolution as it diminishes their power. Quite simply, Ahriman and Lucifer are empowered by men’s weaknesses and ignorance. So that by developing spiritually mankind effectively enfeebles both.

Which is why they are working against humanity’s spiritual evolution.

Steiner taught that the incarnations of Lucifer and Ahriman, together with Christ’s, are interlinked and part of a series of manifestations that are essential for mankind’s higher evolution.

Lucifer, as words derived from his name suggest, seeks to distract man from his higher destiny with illusion and delusion: as illustrated by Hollywood and much of the “new age”.

While Ahriman wants to deny man’s spiritual ascent by embedding him firmly in the material realm – as embodied in fractional reserve banking and scientific materialism – as if there were no higher spiritual reality.

However to counter balance these two opposing forces man requires the qualities exemplified by Jesus Christ, and what Steiner referred to as the “Christ force”.



Ahriman's head sculpted by Steiner

So Ahriman’s appearance is the final part of “coming of age” lesson for humanity.

And like they say, the most important lessons are often the most difficult. Just as when you were a kid you had to stand up to bigger kids in the playground who thought he could push you around.

What you learned then was more than just how to use your fists. You learned how to take command of yourself, to see things through and not to be cowed by appearance.

Well, this is no different. We, as individuals, must now summon all our reserves of courage, insight and compassion to face what is to come.

How many will succumb to this entity depends on each individual’s own inner qualities. Unsurprisingly though, with a few notable exceptions including Ahmadinejad, most of our political leaders are already in his thrall.

Make no mistake however. This writer is not just speculating because the figure referred to is already in the public arena, being prepared for higher elevation in the world of politics.

Although I won’t name him just yet, he is located in North America. Precisely where and when spiritual researcher and teacher Rudolf Steiner said he would incarnate.

Moreover, the current financial crisis has been created to catapult him into the public’s awareness as some kind of “saviour”. Although he will be anything but as will soon become apparent.

In fact a gifted psychic friend has reached the same conclusion about him and quite independently too.

All we can say is watch the financial world and wait for an apparent market ‘recovery’, then look out for whoever is credited with performing this economic “miracle”.

As the prospect of war looms watch for whoever is being hailed for rescuing us from “market meltdown”. The market’s recovery will only be temporary but it will be enough to elevate this character into the highest levels of the political firmament.
From here he will be able to guide and direct the coming war.

These are truly momentous times. We are at the beginning of a new age and as the old one passes away expect to see the beginning of the end of “scientific materialism”. For the notion that existence is confined to the physical world and that there is nothing beyond is about to end along with hundreds of millions, maybe even billions of lives.

This realisation will be a difficult one for many. Especially for those who’ve spent their lives working for their material welfare and nothing else.

It will be particularly difficult for those who have elevated pure logic and reason above compassion. For those who regard scientific materialism as their god, to the exclusion of all genuine spirituality, will soon see him in person: presiding over a maelstrom of unprecedented suffering.

It may give them second thoughts but he is coming; along with a firestorm of blood and crap the like of which humanity has never seen.”

Candidate Obama already made clear that increasing the number of countries to be attacked by one (Pakistan, previously an ally) was one of his priorities and increasing military spending was another, and so some of these moves should come as no surprise. Not allowing the right wingers, Bush cronies, and assorted neocons easily to paint him as a “wet,” as Mrs. Thatcher used to say, i.e., a limp left winger without the guts and iron to defend America, becomes an important area to keep a wary eye on, however, in view of his lack of military experience (He’s a Chicago community organizer, for God’s sake, arguably precisely what America needs most at the moment, not another of your dreary parade of ex-military “experts.”) and the softer side of some of his programs. Confrontation and aggression are not the only modes of combat, however, as a man carrying Hanuman in his pocket knows all too well. Speed and numbers are usually the key ingredients.
