On June 14, 2012, I published this:” By their deeds and actions, President Obama, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and Irish Born Globalized Elitist  Samantha Power thought and think that Turkey’s Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan is a “moderate” Islamist. THERE ARE NO MODERATE ISLAMISTS, just patient ones. Mr. Erdogan is a shrewd, patient dictator in the making, who longs to be a Caliph, in a restored Sunni Caliphate, anchored in a restored Ottoman Turkey. To believe anything else is reckless naiveté...GERRY MAXEY" Mr. Erdogan once said that democracy is like a streetcar, one can get off anytime.  Two years after my analysis, it  seems that Mr. Erdogan is becoming impatient, ready to jump off the streetcar of democracy. In his impatience, Mr. Erdogan has become more than shrewd; he has become Machiavellian. So Machiavellian that he almost involved Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Barack Obama and the United States in an unjustified war in Syria. Mr. Erdogan’s p

Malaysian Flight 370, a Boeing 777, arguably the safest plane in the world,has disappeared along with over 230 souls. That was last week. Where is it? Did it crash en route from Malaysia to China? No debris has been found. Did it veer west, the pings from the plane to the satellite says yes. But no plane has been found. Has it been hijacked? No ransom demands have been made. Has it been diverted to an ageless High Lama in the Himalayas, for one of its passengers, like  CONWAY( Ronald Colman) in LOST HORIZON? Flight 370 has turned into the S.S. MINNOW from GILLIGAN’S ISLAND, off on a routine flight, and lost. One of the grating leitmotifs of President Obama is his raving praise for the 21 st Century; the 21 st Century with its NSA and its trademark  omniscience phone and email taps,  with its  CIA, FBI, GPS, satellites,and omnipresent cameras. The 21st Century with its  constant surveillance, its constant memorializing of every act and sound, regardless

During the Middle Ages, King Canute sauntered down to the seashore, sat on a throne, and commanded the waves to stop coming in.  The waves did not stop. According to President Obama and his harem of Sublime Porte courtiers, King Canute's big mistake was not a mistake in geopolitics or in the geostrategic or in violating the Laws of Nature itself, but in his timing. According to  President Obama and his Sublime Porte courtiers, King Canute’s only mistake in not stopping the waves was not living in the 21 st Century. President Obama, unlike failed King Canute, does live in the 21 st Century; in the Century of FACEBOOK, TWITTER, and  Beyonce, therefore fantasies can become policy. As a Leader without any concept of a Faulknerian Past, President Obama believes his Modernity can overcome geopolitical facts, geostrategic facts, the Laws of Nature, Jungian irredentism, the Blood Memory of Boris and Gleb, 1500 years of Russian history and 5,000 years of Human History.

When the Crusaders seized the last Moorish stronghold in Spain, Granada, for the Christian Kings Ferdinand and Isabel, they ousted A bu Abdallah Muhammad XII, known to history as Boabdil. He had given up without much of a fight, preferring exile to fighting for his country.  On his way out of his native country, Boabdil reined in his horse, and looked back. He burst into tears. His mother, who had advised him to fight for everything he had believed in, to fight for his country, to fight for his people, for la raza on his native soil, mocked him. She said to her weeping son : "Thou dost weep like a woman for what thou couldst not defend as a man." If people profess a love for their native country, and their native country is being oppressed by would be Crusaders, the drug cartel, Knights Templar, one should stay and fight for the beloved country, rather than self-exile oneself to another country, and then whine about conditions in the host country.
