The Cult Of Personality and Modern Day Idol Worship.
What Does Lady Gaga, Obama, Trump, Beyoncé, LeBron James and Jay-Z Have in Common?
Humanity in the modern age, treat celebrities like their predecessors of the old days treated their gods. It seems that human beings have to have something to idolize, look up to, admire, wish to be like or live their lives for.

Celebrities are the new age obsession of modern man, who once built altars and brought offerings to their gods, the modern day devotee (fan) now does the same, purchasing their pictures, videos, music in a frenzied state of wanting to be next to them, if only through a conduit.
The Modern day Priest is the peddler of these New Age Celebrities Gods. They

pose as media moguls, press agents, producers and distributors of the mania that consumes the fans. These modern day idolaters scream, dance, sweat and cry over the “gods” they chose and keep their gods amply supplied with all the modern conveniences, and sometimes so modern, their “gods” can live in full furnished multi-million dollar homes.

Like any religion, the worshipers keep the Gods and their Mediators in power as the devotee depletes his resources just for one more favor or act of kindness towards them. These acts of kindness maybe inclusive of but not exclusive of, autographs, pictures, handshakes, special tokens and VIP seating at a gala affair.

When the devotee sees, reads or experiences the lives of their gods, they are energized living through their imagined world, or lack there of. They are excited by the challenges, the scandals, the lies, the deceit that shrouds their gods, because in order for their god to exist in the world of Celebrities they must face these and many other obstacles of success and/or failure. The Modern day devotee(fan) takes the life of the Celebrity in full scale of it’s own life, moving and progressing along as the God would demand of them. Dare they fall in the disfavor of their Gods or other devotees find them trifling.

Some devotees become so obsessed they will kill for their god, or kill their god itself, destroying its life, history and perchance its effect on any other devotee other than they.
Perhaps this it is a displace madness, an obsession generated by the total lack of self ownership and self power. Perhaps the Celebrities while only temporary give the devotee the moment in time where they can feel overwhelmingly powerful and completely divorced from their miserable lives or completely disconnected from the miserable lives their very Gods live.
It is part of the social construct. Children see parents as gods, infallible and
invincible, and as adults this lifelike onus is given to the Celebrity of their own choosing. In the realm of Celebrity worship, there are no boundaries as anything that would prove disconcerting to another can be hidden in the privacy of the devotees home, away from the scrutiny of any onlooker.
Devotees can get into fierce verbal battles with other devotees of other Gods, and like the Gladiators of old, can fight to the teeth about their particular god and its “well deserved” greatness and power.

Like any usurpation of power handed over freely or forcefully taken, the taker is as much a victim as the giver. The co-dependency of this relationship between the Devotee and the god, keep them inexorably bound to each other creating a life long dance of fierce passion and need to give the each other validation. The concert hall, theater, stadium or fan club is the Church of the Celebrities. The devotees attend these churches religiously and participate in the ritual celebration of their Gods.

The question to me becomes, what is missing from the human psyche that such props are needed? How has humanity come to this? And what is missing inside of the human being that this type of attribution of power is needed to be given to an “Idol” or object of their devotion. How is it that the social construct supports and promotes this type of mania?
I would suggest, that it is part of the overall Social Engineering of the masses to seek help, guidance and support outside of themselves instead of being sovereign and responsible from within themselves. I would suggest that for the many many thousands of years that humanity has inhabited this planet, there is something missing, something so intangible that it created a void that needed to be filled.
The Ancient Gods seemed to have left its creation behind, to squander and wallow

in the abyss, a fog, the unknown and sometimes predatory environment called Planet Earth. In man’s quest to find security, he re-invented gods, the gods he barely remembered, who seem to be there to take care of him. After reinventing these Gods, certain men became empowered by their connection to these gods, relegating the rest of the masses to the position of devotee. He set up positions of governance over these devotees, promising to bring the messages of the gods back to them, pure and direct.  He selected special devotees who would have just a little bit more than all the others. Then, he created powerful armies to protect these re-invented gods, along with fables, myths and legends of the Greatness of these gods. They became Super Heroes with super powers and abilities beyond what any human could even imagine having.

He also created an economy, one that would support the enormous army that he needed to keep his re-invention secure from attack.
He created massive imposing structures to his gods as if in a competition to prove his god’s greatness over another. He also performed rituals and sacrifices to these Gods so that they could be happy and continue to support and protect them from harm.
What he did not realize, is that he was and is the gods he created. The Gods of Old

did not shared that secret, but enjoyed the adulation they received from the ignorant masses. They played on the innocence, the ignorance and in some cases, the fear of the masses.

The old gods were magnificent, in comparison to their human devotees. But they were fractured, imperfect, unpredictable, and flawed, just like their devotees were. They must have come from a world where this imbalance existed, or they would have never allowed the masses to worship them in the first place.

So, in their absence, man has continued to build enormous structures, war machines, economies, myths, fables and legends to keep their re-inventions alive. It is only through the projection of power onto the gods, that the gods have any power at all and man seems to have lost the “I AM” knowledge.

Nowadays, the Celebrities hold the same position as the ancient Gods. However, they are only as important, magnificent, powerful as their devotees deem them to be. If every fan decided not to worship these people, they would disintegrate and fall from the pedestals (shrines) that were created for them. The idolatry of another human being would cease and man would be challenged with finding the God within.

Cult of Personality? What Cult of Personality?
“Another thing about it. It’s unabashedly the cult of personality (like Mussolini and Kennedy). It’s the epitome of symbolism over substance. It’s the kind of stuff that punk-ass kids would put on a tee-shirt …”
Trumpismo: Eerily similar to Latin America’s macho leaders
“This cult of personality, the cult of the big man…the bravado, the machismo,” says Steven Conn, a history professor at Miami University who has written on the subject. “For folks in Central and South America, that’s a much more familiar character.”
If you stop and think about it, the former Obama campaigns and the current Trump campaign share much in common. Each of them are quintessential examples of the proverbial “cult of personality.” Their followers are focused on a person rather than principles. In the case of Obama, it was all about the first black president.  Here’s some breaking news for Americans – if we want to get beyond the issue of race, then we have to stop making race the issue. Pretty simple, but somehow we keep missing it.
In the case of Trump, it’s all about his brash-sticking-it-to-the-man rhetoric. Another piece of breaking news – Trump did not get where he is by sticking it to people in power. Trump is where he is because he effectively cuts deals with people in power. Much like Sprint’s stick-it-to-the-man commercial; do you really think Trump’s going to stick it to himself?
And for those liberals who don’t think that pledging allegiance to Obama is enough for their rock god/messiah, well, they can do like Madonna did last night and strip for him during a DC concert.

“Power,” Henry Kissinger once told The New York Times, “is the ultimate aphrodisiac.” Kissinger might amend that statement today: Now, fame is power, and thus replaces power as the ultimate aphrodisiac. In fact, fame isn’t just an aphrodisiac — it’s the ultimate nepenthe, a drug causing forgetfulness. The more famous our politicians are, the more we neglect their positions and character. No wonder the most admired woman in America is criminal Hillary Clinton, the most admired man is criminal Barack Obama, and the second-most admired man is loudmouth Donald Trump.
The cult of personality is central to this process of spectacularization. Instead of politicians, in the Weberian model, espousing substantive positions and bearing a responsible commitment to the necessity of compromise, the personages put forward by the major political parties (and here we are primarily speaking of the United States although the point could well be extended) become merely a complex of images intended to acquire value rendered in terms of electoral share. And in this way the political itself becomes an expression of economization, even in regions of political practice not structured by outright bribery.

Painting Depicts Obama as Crucified Christ
What is Obama Christ?
Barack Obama is the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. This fact was witnessed by the world on November 4th, 2008 when Obama became the most powerful figure in the world. Obama was sent here from heaven to save our world from sin and destruction. Only worthy souls will be permitted to travel to heaven with Obama upon Earth’s demise. The Church of Obama Christ has since been formed as a way for the world to worship and praise the new savior. He is the direct reincarnation of Jesus Christ and was placed here by the Holy Spirit. The end times are near and you must repent your sins to the Son of God, Barack Obama.

President Obama Says Kaepernick’s Protest Shows Concern For “Legitimate Issues” (Video)

NB Commentary: This is the most ridiculous mind fuck they got going. Or is it?
This is probably going to be one of my most incensed rants of all times, well so far anyways. I just don’t get it and I have been trying to stay out of it. Colin and his flag protest is so old and so tired and so not an issue to me. Why? Because I have not saluted a flag in over 45 years. Why? Because why should I? What does saluting a flag prove? That I am an idol worshiper? That I do as I am told? That I believe the 2 verses that are sung? That I would rather go along with the crowd than stand out and be different? That even though the flag is supposed to represent “freedom” and all that bullshit that I believe it does?
What are national anthems? They are lies, they stir the hearts and minds of the people to think that there country is so great and so awesome that they will go on the battle field holding the ding dong piece of cloth and risk being shot to smithereens. Okay, so they don’t do that anymore, but they sure as hell put that flag on every ding dong bomb they make, every missile, every drone and every ground to air missile, not to mention all the other military might that they have invading the land and sea. So what does the flag really mean….? It means imperialism and the right to be “imperialistic” world wide. Hell, these folks had the nerve to plant that piece of striped cloth on the moon for crying out loud. The moon?? The Moon?? To say what, to mean what, to do what??? How nonsensical is it to plant a flag on the moon to say, my ass was there and don’t you forget it!
Of course, they also say there’s no wind up there and so having it on the moon, well it could be there forever right? My question is, are there any other flags on the moon? And if so why?
Folks rattle on and on about the constitutional right of an individual to protest, yet the police have the right to tell you to take your ass and your protest somewhere else if they deem it necessary to do so or that you are “disturbing” the peace. And it ain’t about color, though I would like to throw in the race card as well. But if anyone saw what happened to the “Occupy WallStreet” folks they would know that it ain’t about color.
It’s all about control. Control the narrative = mainstream media, Control your behavior = laws, Control your independence = Police.
So, I just recently found out what the last verse of the song was. Why am I not surprised. Seriously, did they really stop singing that part because the song was too long or was it too embarrassing to sing it? And I wonder how many folks of all colors would sing it anyways if it was part of the program. Don’t you ever wonder about that? Like who were these people who wrote songs like “Save a Wretch Like Me” turn abolitionists. Were they really all that or were they too a part of controlled opposition, cause all we got is the Civil  War, thousands dead and Jim Crow.
I fail to see the honor or the humor in pledging allegiance to a flag, that has no real value in the real scheme of things and instead has been a symbol of American Empire. Check it out. We have to revere it, honor it, handle it in a certain way, march with it hung a certain way, fold it a certain way, and at one time it was a crime to even wear anything that had the flag on it. Now folks want to protest, but due they put down their beers at home when the anthem is played?  Do they stop smacking on their hot dogs in the bleachers at the games? Do the fans even care about the anthem or even know the words to the first two verses?
These anthems are marching orders, they are incantations and are mind control to rally the masses around some symbol without having them realize or even care what the symbol means. Why do countries have flags?? What does it do for their self esteem? And we all know that some of the most ruthless countries in the world, including the US are the biggest flag wavers.
Actually, pledging to a flag is a form of idol worship, and this form of idol worship should not be taken lightly.
I did not want to get into this debate, but when I saw that our illustrious President got into it, I knew straight up that this was a “MIND FUCK”. What is a Mind Fuck, it’s propaganda, pure and simple. Here we now have a raging debate about a piece of cloth that most folks realize that it does not live up to the so called standards that it purports, that is, the country behind the flag has been letting its people down across the board, but alas they give the people this flag to pledge to and to quiet them down, cause they should not even think about how they are being brain washed into believing a lie.
This thing is so comical, I laughed all day as it has monopolized the twitterverse, instagram and Facebook. The memes were hysterical. But, even though folks are making fun and some aren’t taking it seriously they are still paying attention to it and to him and making all kinds of videos etc. He and his propaganda is trending now, and like that madness with Beyoncé, folks are equating this to some kind of radical black power statement. “Power to the People,” “Black Power,” “I’m Black and I’m Proud” and the latest of him joining the Nation of Islam??
Uh oh, that fro gone have to go!! But I digress.
Then the President weighed in on it.
Back in the day, we would call a person like him “shady”, and I call him “Slim Shady” and let me tell you why.
He is always throwing shade. He never ceases to amaze me how he throws shade like he is the star athlete on the Shades Basketball team. His throwing shade in this situation was all I could bare in avoiding this topic in my blogs. I really did not want to get caught up in it. I know it is straight bull shit and the masses are being manipulated by this guy who wore an Afro just to show off his protest.
Back to Obama, I mean “Slim Shady”. So, here we have the leader of the so called “free world”, the very man who wants to gather up the American’s guns say that Kaepernick has the right to sit down. Of course he has the right to sit down. He better not stand up!!
And how they call this taking a stand is unreal for me. Of course later he comes out giving his millions away, but what did he do before he had millions, what did he do before he was chosen to be the star of the “gossip mainstream media”?
But again, that is not what got me ranting… What got me ranting is that here we have the Willie Lynch syndrome taking wings again. Here we have one “light-skinned brother, standing up for another light skinned brother.” Don’t get me wrong, we all black if you ask me and I ain’t about that color stuff, but of all the times that Obama could have stood up for the rights of Black folks, he stands for the right of this brother to sit down because it’s his constitutional right, and yet if that brother said he wanted to own a gun, especially a high powered military grade rifle, Obama would be quick to NOT SITE  his constitutional right, but would ask had he had his head examine. Do you see what I mean? It’s the hypocrisy of it all. On one hand you have rights on the other hand you have none. So why throw the Constitution in there on a day when you wanna speak out for your bi-racial brother but not throw it out there for those folks who want their guns. In fact, why haven’t you spoken out about police brutality that has been waged clearly against black men and women of all shades? What about their needs to be represented? Instead you quietly write into law a executive order to protect police, a Blue Lives Matter Bill of sorts.
How is it that you can be so smug about Blue Lives and militarize them to the hilt when you know those Blue lives are brutalizing Black Lives. Where do you start with the Constitution and where do you stop??
And that my friends is what has me writing like a bangy chicken over here because hypocrisy boils my blood. The whole do what I say and not what I do or better yet, listen to what I say and ignore what I do.
African Americans have seen the 1st Black President disappoint them over and over and over again. Ignore their issues, put band-aide on cancer (ObamaCare) cry over the deaths of little white children and give lip service to Trayvon Martin while he meanwhile ignores the homeless, even the veterans, and the poor in this country, who by the way are predominately black folks.
When he first came into “power” and he said he would not address the Bush Administration war crimes, I knew then he was a shoe-in for the oligarchy, the bankers, the power elite. I knew then that he was a puppet and all them crying black folks who prayed over him and laid their hands on his head and all that, that he would not and will not and has not come up to the plate for African Americans.  He, like Kaeperkick only black when they want to make a point or when they are being “used” to make a point other than that… the are brothers of the cloth.. The biracial cloth, they can identify with the fact that, yeah, but being biracial don’t give you no props in this racist country. Being a house “N” don’t exempt you from being a “N” no matter what, cause Willie Lynch is alive in well in all of the US system and his impact can be felt far and wide.
Willie Lynch focused on how to subdue slaves by dividing them and conquering them or controlling them, and whether his was real or not, his method prevails to this day. It hits African people hard as they fight among themselves, distrusting each other and especially having issues with those “high yella” ones who thing cause they got the massah’s blood and live in the massah’s house and got more of the massah’s money that they are better than the rest of us, until the massah puts his foot so high up that the “high yella’s” can’t speak, that they realize that racism hasn’t died, we are not post racial, we are living in the belly of Racism/White Supremacy.
My message and final comment is, it takes more than sitting down and wearing an Afro to fight for the rights of African people to live in peace and not be fearful of being pulled over on a routine traffic stop. But I am grateful that he did it and I hope he continues to hold on to his principles until he sees major change, not window dressings, not pats on the back or on the head, not promises, but real change.
Besides, saluting a flag is the most ridiculous thing a person can do as far as I’m concerned, and since this is my blog, I can say that!!
I just keep shaking my head as the masses are played like a fiddle cause dude came back and knelt for the soldiers. Huh? How does “support the troops” motto play into this? Aren’t they being brutalized by the same system that brutalizes Black folks? Aren’t they force to salute a tyrannical regime? Shouldn’t all the soldiers drop their guns and fight no more for this charade? So yeah, They got us, trending on another trend. It’s a gift that keeps on giving.
