#29: Those Darling Little Bamsters of Burlington, NJ

Is it a coincidence that in late September of 2009 we should discover a group of small children in a NJ school chanting

“Barack Hussein Obama, mmm, mmm, mmm!”?

Coincidence? I think not!

On Oct. 11, 1968, Star Trek aired the episode And the Children Shall Lead Them which revolved around a small group of children who also chanted. They chanted Hail, hail, fire and snow, call the angel, we will go, far away, for to see, friendly angel come to me (I looked it up – don’t worry, I haven’t memorized Star Trek episodes). But, they were instruments of a malign figure, namely the “friendly angel,” who, in reality, was not a friendly angel at all, but a powerful evil entity out to destroy them; and the children were to be the instruments of that destruction.

A coincidence? A coincidence that exactly (well, roughly) 40 years after the airing of this episode, we should see reality imitating art?

OK, I admit it, it’s a reach, but I still hold that the chanting little bamsters are very spooky. And it’s not like there haven’t been more frightening antecedents for this scene than the one from Star Trek. Have we already forgotten the vicious little bamsters in the Hitlerjugend? They also liked to sing, particularly the Horst Wessel Song and Deutschland Uber Alles. They also liked to turn in their mothers and fathers to the SS. True, these were Nazis, but, as I have argued in a prior post, Nazis were just nationalist commies. And didn’t Obama’s White House only recently request that people report neighbors (family?) who were critical of Obama to the White House?

Do we have to go back that far? How about the marching zombies of North Korea? Surely they began as little chanting bamster zombies? And there are murdering child “soldiers” to be found everywhere among the “third world” populations so dear to the sentiments of the Left, sweet little tykes festooned with Kalashnikovs and grenades. They probably chant as they march just like the little bamsters, just like the munchkins in the Wizard of Oz, except for their bandoleers and AK47s.

Barack Hussein Obama, mmm, mmm, mmm!

And, lest we forget, there are the endearing little moppets of Hamas, packed round their little tummies with nails, ball bearings, and high explosives, happy just as long as they can murder Jews, just as they were taught in their little madrassahs with their little chants.

O brave new world.
