34 warships sent from US for Obama visit
Press Trust of India ^ | November 04, 2010

Posted on 11/04/2010 7:23:33 AM PDT by kingattax

The White House will, of course, stay in Washington but the heart of the famous building will move to India when President Barack Obama lands in Mumbai on Saturday.

Communications set-up, nuclear button, a fleet of limousines and majority of the White House staff will be in India accompanying the President on this three-day visit that will cover Mumbai and Delhi.

He will also be protected by a fleet of 34 warships, including an aircraft carrier, which will patrol the sea lanes off the Mumbai coast during his two-day stay there beginning Saturday. The measure has been taken as Mumbai attack in 2008 took place from the sea.

I’m sure its all to cut more deals with India to send more of our jobs there and give them special one sided trade benefits.

It's a good thing we let our enemies know that we have 34 warships out of commission for 10 days to protect our dear leader.

That is the part that really leaves me on edge....

[ Doesn’t anyone get an uneasy feeling about all this, any alarm bells going off in anyones head. Doesn’t seem like your typical diplomatic visit, does it? Sounds like a government in exile ]

Step 1. Setup visit to india with large millitary entourage.
Step 2. Declare Martial Law in the US after false flag attack. (bio/chem/nuclear).
Step 3. Remain in exile as CnC to avoid internal rebellion.
Step 4. After Rebellion quelled in US, proclaim a new era or Unity with the U.N. and become chancellor general of the U.N.

That is the worst case scenario, best case he just wastes more money on his little trip.

[ Hey, put your tin foil hat on for this — there has been a prophecy out there for years that China (possibly in cahoots with Russia) will invade the US through Alaska and Canada and will get as far as Denver before our troops, fleet, and ‘whoever’ can get back here from wherever they are overseas and stop them. It’s out there in google if anybody wants to look - probably several different versions of the prophecy. but that’s the main event above. ]

I will only believe in prophecy when the prophet owns a time machine and has won the last 4 powerballs.

1. An exaggerated sense of self-importance (e.g., exaggerates achievements and talents, expects to be recognized as superior without commensurate achievements)

Translation: Grandiosity is the hallmark of narcissism. So what is grandiose?

The simplest everyday way that narcissists show their exaggerated sense of self-importance is by talking about family, work, life in general as if there is nobody else in the picture. Whatever they may be doing, in their own view, they are the star, and they give the impression that they are bearing heroic responsibility for their family or department or company, that they have to take care of everything because their spouses or co-workers are undependable, uncooperative, or otherwise unfit. They ignore or denigrate the abilities and contributions of others and complain that they receive no help at all; they may inspire your sympathy or admiration for their stoicism in the face of hardship or unstinting self-sacrifice for the good of (undeserving) others. But this everyday grandiosity is an aspect of narcissism that you may never catch on to unless you visit the narcissist’s home or workplace and see for yourself that others are involved and are pulling their share of the load and, more often than not, are also pulling the narcissist’s share as well. An example is the older woman who told me with a sigh that she knew she hadn’t been a perfect mother but she just never had any help at all — and she said this despite knowing that I knew that she had worn out and discarded two devoted husbands and had lived in her parents’ pocket (and pocketbook) as long as they lived, quickly blowing her substantial inheritance on flaky business schemes. Another example is claiming unusual benefits or spectacular results from ordinary effort and investment, giving the impression that somehow the narcissist’s time and money are worth more than other people’s. [Here is an article about recognizing and coping with narcissism in the workplace; it is rather heavy on management jargon and psychobabble, but worth reading. “The Impact of Narcissism on Leadership and Sustainability” by Bruce Gregory, Ph.D. “When the narcissistic defense is operating in an interpersonal or group setting, the grandiose part does not show its face in public. In public it presents a front of patience, congeniality, and confident reasonableness.”]

2. Preoccupation with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, beauty, or ideal love

Translation: Narcissists cultivate solipsistic or “autistic” fantasies, which is to say that they live in their own little worlds (and react with affront when reality dares to intrude).

3. Believes he is “special” and can only be understood by, or should associate with, other special or high-status people (or institutions)

Translation: Narcissists think that everyone who is not special and superior is worthless. By definition, normal, ordinary, and average aren’t special and superior, and so, to narcissists, they are worthless.

4. Requires excessive admiration

Translation: Excessive in two ways: they want praise, compliments, deference, and expressions of envy all the time, and they want to be told that everything they do is better than what others can do. Sincerity is not an issue here; all that matter are frequency and volume.

5. Has a sense of entitlement

Translation: They expect automatic compliance with their wishes or especially favorable treatment, such as thinking that they should always be able to go first and that other people should stop whatever they’re doing to do what the narcissists want, and may react with hurt or rage when these expectations are frustrated.

6. Selfishly takes advantage of others to achieve his own ends

Translation: Narcissists use other people to get what they want without caring about the cost to the other people.

7. Lacks empathy

Translation: They are unwilling to recognize or sympathize with other people’s feelings and needs. They “tune out” when other people want to talk about their own problems.
In clinical terms, empathy is the ability to recognize and interpret other people’s emotions. Lack of empathy may take two different directions: (a) accurate interpretation of others’ emotions with no concern for others’ distress, which is characteristic of psychopaths; and (b) the inability to recognize and accurately interpret other people’s emotions, which is the NPD style. This second form of defective empathy may (rarely) go so far as alexithymia, or no words for emotions, and is found with psychosomatic illnesses, i.e., medical conditions in which emotion is experienced somatically rather than psychically. People with personality disorders don’t have the normal body-ego identification and regard their bodies only instrumentally, i.e., as tools to use to get what they want, or, in bad states, as torture chambers that inflict on them meaningless suffering. Self-described narcissists who’ve written to me say that they are aware that their feelings are different from other people’s, mostly that they feel less, both in strength and variety (and which the narcissists interpret as evidence of their own superiority); some narcissists report “numbness” and the inability to perceive meaning in other people’s emotions.

8. Is often envious of others or believes that others are envious of him

Translation: No translation needed.

9. Shows arrogant, haughty, patronizing, or contemptuous behaviors or attitudes

Translation: They treat other people like dirt.

I remember reading that Asia and Erope would invade, only to get pushed out. I have to wonder what is going on. If nothing happens, great. He may well be setting up base for a ‘last stand.’

Interesting theory. Here’s from Wikipedia:

A government in exile is a temporary political group that claims to be a country’s legitimate government, but for various reasons is unable to exercise its legal power, and instead resides in a foreign country.[1] Governments in exile usually operate under the assumption that they will one day return to their native country and regain power. They are distinguished from rump states in the sense that a rump state still controls at least part of its previous territory [2] (for example, during the First World War nearly all of Belgium was German-occupied, but Belgium and its allies held on to a small slice in the country’s south); a government in exile, conversely, has lost all its territory.

Governments in exile frequently occur during wartime occupation, and sometimes also in the aftermath of a civil war, revolution, military coup, or widespread belief in the illegitimacy of a ruling government. For example, during the German expansion of the Second World War, numerous European governments and monarchs were forced to seek refuge in the United Kingdom rather than face destruction at the hands of Nazi Germany. The effectiveness of a government in exile depends mainly on the support it can get from foreign governments on the one hand and from the population of its own country on the other. Some governments in exile can develop into a formidable force, posing a serious challenge to the rival in actual possession of the country, while others are mainly maintained as a symbolic gesture with little effect on the actual situation.

The phenomenon of a government in exile long predates the term. In periods of monarchial government, the usual reference was to an exile monarch or dynasty setting up an exile court - such as the House of Stuart when driven from their throne by Cromwell and again at the Glorious Revolution, or the House of Bourbon during the French Revolution and the rule of Napoleon. With the development of Constitutional Monarchy, governments in exile started to include both a monarch and a prime minister.

"you make it sound as if India is the safest place in the world."

With obama and his entourage there, it just may be the safest place during that time.

Can anyone even imagine the horrendous outcry from the demoRATs & leftist media, if GW Bush or any Republican president had ever done anything even remotely on this scale. Liberals would be sputtering & screaming bloody murder. WHY ARE NO REPUBLICANS SCREAMING OR HOLLERING ABOUT THIS?

There is another thread - different article - this thread see post #111

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2621169/posts?page=122#111

Excerpt:
Are we sure it’s not his entire shadow government and the chosen crony capitalists from WS that will remake our country into a marxist hellhole after some ‘manmade disaster’ while he’s in India?

Not so far-fetched——when we consider how he responded to the midterm Dem disaster. His contempt for America, and, we, his “enemies,” is blatantly hateful.

At his presser, he showed he’s still “bitterly clinging” to healthcare......the Marxist structure by which he intends to change America. Read on.

Obama says he’s willing to tweak healthcare ...Tweak? The O/care monster needs a bulldozer, and 100 construction musclemen armed with power saws and jack hammers.......that’s just for beginners.

BETTER MUCH BETTER Cong Mike PENCE: “We will repeal OBamacare, lock, stock and barrel”....we will dig it out of the ground....every branch and root.”

BETTER MOVE FAST REPUBS: The whole thing is a “Marxist structure” purposefully designed to change America. Ohaha’s got BIG plans, much much BIGGER PLANS.

Read on....
