Is Barack Obama a Borg "Manchurian Candidate?"

Although Telstar Logistics endeavors always to remain nonpartisan, an urgent matter has come to our attention that may have significant bearing upon the future of the American republic — and indeed the very survival of the entire human race. Fellow citizens, there is reason to believe that Barack Obama may be an instrument of a hostile foreign power. Specifically, Barack Obama could be a sleeper agent for the Borg.

Yes, you read that correctly. You probably know that during this presidential campaign, allegations have been raised — falsely —that Barack Obama is an Islamist who once attended a madrassa. Other whispers have charged — again, falsely —that Obama refuses to recite the American Pledge of Allegiance. Likewise, investigations into his youthful drug use have found little smoke and no fire. Still unanswered, however, is the question of whether Barack Obama is a puppet of the Borg, a collectivist hive of cybernetically enhanced humanoids from a distant galaxy.

How is this possible? Back up to 2004, when Barack Obama first emerged on the national stage. He was a member of the Illinois state legislature at the time, until he decided to make a run for the United States Senate. Obama secured the Democratic nomination, but heading into the general election, he faced a formidable opponent in the form of Republican nominee Jack Ryan, a millionaire investment banker.

Now, back up again to 1997. That was the year when a new character joined the cast of Star Trek: Voyager. The new member of the Voyager crew was a human woman named Seven of Nine who had previously been assimilated by the Borg. Following her rescue by Voyager, Seven regained her human individuality, although she also retained some Borg cybernetic implants — as well as latent sympathies for the Borg's radical collectivist ideology. This composite photo shows Seven as she looked while she was a member of the Borg collective (left) and her appearance after she regained her human individuality (right):

And who was Seven of Nine? She was played by none other than Jeri Ryan, Jack Ryan's wife until the couple divorced in 1999.

Pay attention here, because this is where things get interesting. Jeri Ryan's Wikipedia page explains:

Although [Jeri] Ryan mentioned that the frequent separations had been difficult for the marriage, the reasons for the divorce were kept sealed at their mutual request.

Five years later, when Jack Ryan's Senate campaign began, the Chicago Tribune newspaper and WLS-TV, the local ABC affiliate, sought to have the records released. Both Jeri and Jack agreed to make their divorce records public, but not the custody records, claiming that their release could be harmful to their son.

On June 22, 2004, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Robert Schnider agreed to release the custody files; the decision generated much controversy because it went against both parents' direct request and because it generally reversed the early decision to seal the papers in the best interest of the child. It was revealed that, six years previously, Jeri had accused Jack Ryan of asking her to perform sexual acts with him in public, and in adult clubs in New York, New Orleans, and Paris. Jeri Ryan described one as "a bizarre club with cages, whips and other apparatus hanging from the ceiling." Jack Ryan denied these allegations. Although Jeri Ryan refused to comment on the matter during the campaign, the document disclosure led Jack Ryan to withdraw his Republican candidacy for an open United States Senate seat in Illinois (which was eventually won by Barack Obama). [emphasis added]

Convenient, isn't it?  The candidacy of Barack Obama's leading opponent implodes thanks to a tawdry sex scandal involving a former Borg drone... which makes Obama a shoe-in for the Illinois Senate seat... which catapults him into the national spotlight... which sets up his bid for the presidency of the United States of America. It's all so simple.  So very elegant. So very much like the kind of conspiracy one might expect to come from a freedom-hating alien hive-mind motivated by the quest for total perfection.

It's unknown if Barack Obama is aware of his potential role as an agent of Borg domination. Yet his consciousness of these circumstances does nothing to diminish the danger we all may face should this alien plot reach its full fruition. We only hope that representatives from the mainstream media will properly investigate these facts to ascertain the scope and magnitude of any intergalactic threat to American values that we may soon face.

Resistance is futile.

We report.

You decide.

UPDATE, 24 November, 2008:

Wow.  It happened.  Barack Obama will be our next president.  We're thrilled, although it's bizarre to consider that were it not for the Borg, he might never have landed his first major job on the national political stage. Perfection, indeed.

DUDE -- the borg are from our galaxy, just a different quadrant.

The republican at work came by my cube and said, "Did you know Obama's middle name is Hussein?" with an eyebrow raised. "Just sayin'."

Your point is?

His father was a non-practicing muslim? Obama was raised agnostic but has been the member of a church for 20 years?

[Telstar Logistics]

There are unconfirmed rumors that his full name is actually Barack Three of Seven Hussein Obama.

Just sayin'.

[Fred von Lohmann]

No way. How do I know? Because he's one of the lost humanoid Cylons. Obviously.

So say we all.

Sometimes I get really disillusioned with some of the hatred and anger that is espoused by some so called Christian Conservatives who claim to be crusaders for morality in America. However, I suppose that we have to be patient with those in our union who are still racist and intolerant since they also have the right to vote.

Coincidentally, I consider myself a "Christian Evangelical" but I guess I am rebellious since I don't believe that I should vote along party lines namely Repub. I let my conscience guide me. I also examine the candidate's willingness to be open, sincere and forthright and also admit when they made an error. That an indicator to me that the spirit of truth has influence on their decisions. And also, it's important that they are able to work with people who don't believe what they believe and RESPECT and represent them as well.

We have a mandate as Christians to go into the world and preach the gospel -- bring the good news to those who are hopeless. Not condemn them. Not judge them but through the love of Christ, minister as he did to everyone in need. Sometimes I think that the "Christian Right" lives in a bubble that is created with fear, racism and intolerance. It's sad and ineffective ministry and we will be judged at the end of it all by how well we serve one another in love.

If Jesus were here today most of us religious folk would have condemned him for his associations and his seeming liberal views. We have become so religious and stiff necked and have become wise in our own eyes. It’s shameful and pointed as the world identifies us as hypocrites.

I know that some will argue that lawlessness should not be supported by us but that is not what I am advocating. Moreover even Paul said that he doesn’t understand the mystery of sin. And there is no one who is without sin and no one who is in a position to judge or marginalize anyone. Apostle Paul also says – the heart of man is desperately wicked and deceitful above all things, who can know it? – and in Romans 17 - he said to mark those among you that cause division.

Through the love of Christ we can influence those who are lost and without hope.

If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing.
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Love never fails....And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

I believe that love is the more excellent way.

Obama 08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Also - Jack Ryan, as we all know, is a Tom Clancy character. When Ryan refuses to run for a second term as president, his departure propels his V.P., Robby Jackson, toward the White House, where he would be the first African American President. Just another clue to this elaborate Borg plot.

[Obama Fan]

Congratulations to Barack Obama on winning the Presidency of the United States of America! I do not believe that he is the Manchurian Candidate. It is such a silly notion.

[Consumer Unit 5012]

Obama's name is actually a very useful sorting tool. If you start reading a political blog entry, and they refer to him as "Barack HUSSEIN Obama", or "B. [email protected]!1!! Obama", or similar, it's a pretty safe bet that nothing else they have to say is worth reading.

[Consumer Unit 5012]

Hope Faith Love: Nice sentiments. Have you read the "Slacktivist" blog? Another Evangelical who's fed up with the hatemongering lunatics who've hijacked the movement.
