DICK CHENEY, WINSTON CHURCHILL AND FDR: WARNINGS FROM AN OLD CONSERVATIVE WARRIOR

Posted by ApolloSpeaks on Saturday, May 30, 2009 7:55:48 AM

I have posted several pieces on this blog interpreting what I believe to be distressing signs ominously pointing to the confused and cowardly Barack Obama as an incarnation of Neville Chamberlain setting in motion a train of events that will have calamitous consequences for US foreign policy and national security. The most significant of these signs are as follows:

Obama’s important and much praised “More Perfect Union Speech” on racism and Reverend Wright portentously falling on the 139th anniversary of Neville Chamberlain’s birth (see OBAMA MAHARAJ JI: and OBAMA'S DOCTRINE OF GRAND APPEASEMENT AND SIGNS OF COMING WORLD UPHEAVAL ).

Joe Biden’s trip to Germany on February 7th to attend the 45th Conference on Security Policy where for the first time an administration official laid out before the world the President’s muddled vision of appeasement, apology and “smart power.” As Biden mentioned the War on Terror last in importance in a list of five major threats (behind Global Warming) it was a weak, dismal and incoherent performance setting the tone for a President who projects an image of weakness, uncertainty and confusion in the world. As if arranged by Providence as a prophetic sign of foreign policy debacles to come the conference was held in the city of Munich on the 38th day of the year corresponding to the calamitous meeting in 1938 between Hitler and Chamberlain in that city (see BIDEN DOES MUNICH 2009 ).

But just as ominous of coming woe due to Obama’s Chamberlain-like weakness and naivety was his ejection of Winston Churchill’s bust from the White House-a gift on loan from Tony Blair and Great Britain to America and George Bush for 9/11. As President Bush and Dick Cheney lived up to Churchill’s heroic example of strong and decisive wartime leadership in fighting our enemies Obama’s ejection of the bust was emblematic of just how feckless he is and dangerously wanting in Churchill’s great wisdom and courageous spirit.

It was therefore a blessing to the nation for Dick Cheney to return to the public arena to reawaken our pride and remind us what true, tough wartime leadership is and to defend the imperfect but impressive record of his administration in fighting Jihadists on multiple fronts and keeping us safe. Cheney’s return raised hell on the deranged and angry Left putting them on the defensive and causing pundits like Hugh Hewitt to compare him to the beleaguered Winston Churchill in his wilderness years prior to the outbreak of World War II when he prophetically warned a sleeping England of Hitler’s evil plans (see Don't expect silence from people who know the truth ).

The tragic drama so it seems is being played out again at a different time with a different enemy in a different way with Obama resembling Chamberlain and Cheney Winston Churchill and something more, that something being Franklin Roosevelt. As Obama is likened by the media and admirers to FDR and resembles him in his failed economic plans that is where the likeness ends as there is nothing of FDR’s patriotic optimism, manly spirit and wartime leadership in him (see FDR AND BARACK OBAMA: AMERICAN EXCEPTIONALISM VERSES THE UNITED STATES OF MANKIND ).

Indeed, on Inauguration Day Cheney unfortunately took sick and was carted around the festivities in a wheel chair causing one anchorman to say (I forget who) that he looked like the invalid FDR. Michael Savage surmised Cheney’s wheelchairing was “all a ruse,” an “FDR sympathy play” for a man about to lose his power (which makes no sense). Toping Savage’s lunacy was one left wing blogger who said that Cheney came to the inaugural “dressed up as FDR” to upstage Obama, the black FDR. But as we learned from a radio interview critical of Obama given two weeks later Cheney who was terribly hoarse was genuinely ill and not putting on a show. From listening to that interview I even feared that the former VP might be nearing his end and that the interview was the final words of a dying man to a forgetful nation. Thank God my fears were unfounded and that this old conservative warrior refuses to fade away. However, because of the references to FDR I investigated the analogy to see where it would go and came up with these remarkable discoveries:

Cheney was born in 1941 the year of Japan’s devastating sneak attack on our naval fleet at Pearl Harbor (see DICK CHENEY ON WHEELS ).
 
On January 30, 1941, the day Dick Cheney was born, Franklin Roosevelt celebrated his 59th birthday (see note 1).

On January 20, 2001 at age 59 Cheney was sworn in as the 46th Vice President of the United States.

On December 7, 1941, the “Day of Infamy” when Pearl Harbor was bombed FDR was 311 days into his 59th year.

 
On 9/11 when al Qaida crashed three commercial jets into the Pentagon and Twin Towers it was exactly 590 days from Cheney’s 59th birthday-590 is a multiple of 59 or the number 59 without the zero., hence:

January 30, 2000 (Cheney’s 59th birthday) to September 11, 2001=590 days.


Pearl Harbor was attacked 44 weeks after Dick Cheney’s birth, corresponding to Barack Obama’s presidency number, hence

January 30, 1941 (Cheney’s birth) to December 7, 1941 (Pearl Harbor attack)=311 days or 44 weeks.

Note: Obama himself is the first President born in Hawaii where World War II began for America militarily (see THE FIRST HAWAIIAN BORN PRESIDENT ).


Winston Churchill died at age 90 on January 24, 1965 and was interred six days later on January 30th, the 83rd anniversary of FDR’s birth and Dick Cheney’s 24th birthday (see note 3).

NOTE: On January 30 (ten days after our 44th President’s inaugural) Dick Cheney celebrated his 68th birthday on the 44th anniversary of Winston Churchill’s burial. It was also the 127th anniversary of FDR’s birth. What is fascinating about this number is that it gives us the date 12-7 or December 7th the day Pearl Harbor was attacked.

Summarizing the above what we get is this: Dick Cheney who became our 9/11 Vice President in his 59th year was born in the year of Pearl Harbor on the 59th birthday of the President who took us into World War II; and 590 days passed his 59th birthday was the day we were again attacked in a homeland strike more devastating than Pearl Harbor with Bush and Cheney, like FDR, taking us into a new world war. And lastly, Cheney who in Churchillian mode is warning President 44 that his world view and policies are compromising US security, emboldening our enemies making us more vulnerable to another massive terror attack, was born 44 weeks before the horror of Pearl Harbor. If I were Barack Obama I’d swallow my pride and pay heed to this man.

Postscript:

As Pearl Harbor was struck 311 days into FDR’s 59th year (or 311 days into Dick Cheney’s first year) and the 9/11 attack occurred 590 days after Cheney’s 59th birthday this, in my view, binds together both attacks as two terrible acts of Providence. It also suggests that the War on Terror initiated by Bush and Cheney, while destined to suffer setbacks and defeats under Obama, will end in victory for America in the long run as did World War II (and the Cold War) and vindicate the Bush/Cheney Doctrine of preemptive war and spreading freedom.

Notes:

1. FDR was born January 30, 1882.

2. Just as Ronald Reagan was interred on the 80th birthday of George H. W. Bush a providential tribute to the man who brought Reagan’s work to completion in ending the Cold War so was Winston Churchill laid to rest on the 83rd anniversary of FDR’s birth. That this was directed by a Higher Power is suggested by the astonishing fact that Churchill died in Hyde Park, London the name of FDR’s birthplace in New York.
