1. Plutonia, thanks for replying to my post. Makes a lot more sense to me, as I did have trouble fully digesting it all.

I am wholly unqualified to make this comment being as I have only this minute been introduced to many of the concepts herein but:
WOW!
Fascinating, intriguing, well thought out, and really mind blowing.
Thank you, Plutonia.

The implications of Girard's Mimetic Theory are truly mind blowing, of which the Obsama thing is just a tiny, perfect drop creating the merest ripple. Potentially it reframes that sort of manipulation as warranted. Chreest! I can't believe I just said that!
[the British] government always kept a kind of standing army of news writers who without any regard to truth, or to what should be like truth, invented & put into the papers whatever might serve the minister

According to this theory, I would have to say that it perfectly fits with the public needing to supplant and project their hopes, dreams, hate and fear and extreme archtype ideals into polarized projections

I wonder how many days are between those two dates? I know Obama won 77 days before he was sworn in as 44th president(77-44=33)
Stanley Kubrick died 666 days before 2001, and the Madrid "al Qaeda" blasts were 911 days after 9/11

The real issue is that there is extremely low likelihood that the speculations of the untrained, on a topic almost pathologically riddled by dynamic considerations and feedback effects, will offer anything new.

Oh definitely, I think a lot of people on here saw it in summer 2008.
The second I saw this poster, I thought "Osama bin Laden"

Re: Obsama: Sacrifice/Deification/Unification
I want to share some news -
1. I hit level 48 in Farmville
2. I asked Jeff to remove my account.
3. Wish to thank you for the lovely company during the "dark night of the soul".
The reason I am writing it in this thread, is because it kind of sums it up
Will be lurking to read, and wishing you all a great time here, and happy spring season.

And yeah, what ever happened to Biden? I haven't seen or heard about him in a couple years it seems like. Even Dan Quayle and Al Gore I heard and saw more of. What's he do all day, just mumble to himself in an office?

Re: Obsama: Sacrifice/Deification/Unification
Fantastic thread, Plutonia!
Where has this Rene Girard been all of my life?
Attempting to understand our situation here in this reality without synthesizing science, religion and myth is a useless endeavor, but unfortunately, I feel that the majority of us have paid far too much attention to the barbed wire fences that have been erected between the three.
The big answers, I'm afraid, will always be puzzles assembled from pieces gathered from those three disciplines that we've forever been taught to keep separate.
Again, WOW, just an awesome thread.

This perfectly sums up a concept that I've been clumsily trying to digest and communicate for a really long time.Christianity is the myth that reads all myths: …to read mythology right and to have a true anthropology are one and the same thing.
