The Endowment of ISIS OBAMA

This now appears (incognito) at the Camel Saloon Gallery.

What's the difference between a caliphate, a supreme religious political empire on earth, and Rome or Babylon or England, except what side you're on?  The caliphate of ISIS took the appearance of Ishtar at the Denver acceptance speech as an invitation to fly its flag at the White House. Wasn't that its invitation to immigrate to America, given without consulting all of the parties? Provocateurs! Who was advising Obama that day? Does ISIS know that ISIS is equivocated? If they think that Isis is Ishtar it came about that when our President stood at a mock Altar of Pergamos, altar of Zeus and its frieze of Gigantomachy in Berlin, mixing his gods at the bar of caliphaty, appropriating the Ishtar Gate for the foreground of his Denver acceptance speech. Ishtar's promise covers the podium of his address: "touch me here, touch me there, riches beyond the telling." Now ISIS not only wants to visit, it wants to rule!  Myths are easy confused. When the American nominee had visited the Pergamos museum on the new Babylonian border, that is, during his trip and momentous speech in Berlin just before, he joined Pergamos and the Ishtar Gate in a combined act of genius in Denver. Baghdad, Babylon, Rome.

Ishtar Gate

The ISIS Gate

Just to bring us up to date on Isis, she is an Egyptian, but Ishtar, the goddess of sex and war is Akkadian, née Babylonian, the public relations arm of the Babylon gods whose altars and gates were stolen and taken to Germany in the 19th century, masked as archeological sites. Who doubts that if the Germans could have taken Isis too that they would. So the modern ISIS interest in Germany is also an allure, but confused, since she is the original queen mother but Ishtar was a mere strumpet. Ishtar's signs were the lapis and the lion, blue and gold. In the ancient poem Gilgamesh she was the foul goddess, "the door through which the cold gets in." She would turn you into a frog.This explains American foreign policy.

Way back in old Jerusalem they baked cakes with Ishtar's face (Jeremiah 44), which captives saw after the fall of Jerusalem as they marched into the inner city of Babylon through the Ishtar gate. What is inner Babylon?  Indeed you may well ask. Who is Ishtar that she should be invited to a surrogate reign in America? The president's men did not read what Gilgamesh said when Ishtar invited him into her arms. "Give me your semen; plant your seed in the body of Ishtar. Abundance will follow riches beyond the telling"  (Gilgamesh. David Ferry, 29).

Altar of Pergamos in Berlin

Babylon to Berlin to Denver were her stops. But not in words, images revealed the Novus Ordo Seclorum of the American seal, soul of the sweet Golden Age of Hesiod and Homer gone to brass. The three harvests of this golden age were Apollo, Apollyon, and Abaddon. From Nimrod to America came the harvest of ISIS, ISIL, the caliphate of the Levant! The myth says the golden ego of Osiris was already there.
 

The Obama team may not have known this, or if they did  they believed the promise of abundance. But Ishtar didn't want either Gilgamesh or Barak personally; she only wanted the office of the president. In the language of the poem, a lion in the pit, the horse hobbled in mud, the goatherd turned to a wolf, the bird that fell, the man himself would be discarded. How many likenesses we need not know, but when Ishtar said  to the tempted gardener, 

"Now, touch me where you dare not, touch me

here, touch me where you want to, touch me here." (Gilgamesh, Ferry, 31)

he knew not to "eat the rotten food / having been taught to eat the wholesome."  I hope nobody thinks from this that Ishtar is a whore. It's not nice to call names. Once rejected she turned the gardener into a frog. It was only because she was hungry. The choice symbolically for Gilgamesh was, have your spirit broken and your mind imprisoned, or, as happens when he too rejects her, be confronted with the bull of heaven loosed by her rage.  Ishtar's complaint against Gilgamesh, King of Uruk (Baghdad) was that "he has found out my foulness" (32). He said,

You are the fire that goes out. You are the pitch

that sticks to the hands of the one who carries the bucket.

You are the house that falls down. You are the shoe

that pinches the foot of the wearer. The ill-made wall

that buckles when time has gone by. The leaky

waterskin soaking the waterskin carrier.

Gilgamesh's rejection of the harlot is opposed by his free rein in taking every other form of woman, which in the allegory means country, Panama, Vietnam... from brides before their marriage, to all wives and daughters, so obviously he recognizes that supernatural coitus steals manhood. These forces anyway shared the Denver stage through the gate German archeologists took to Berlin. The president  spoke from the middle of the image  in his acceptance. "Abundance will follow, riches without telling," unless of course the procession of lapis and aurochs and cedar before the walls of lions is just a tease.
It was a one stop shop. Gilgamesh, 2500 B.C, Babylon 600 B.C, Berlin, 1930, Denver, 2008. At least he was not like that spoil sport Daniel who did to Nebuchadnezzar's gods what Abraham did to Nimrod's, where the lions on the Gate, symbols of Ishtar, had their mouths shut in the den.

U. S. Capitol Dome

The United States is not even symbolically mentioned in the Bible. Rome is there. Babylon is there.  Russia is there.

"This [American Christian nation] myth has inclined us to Christianize many pagan aspects of our culture" says Boyd (13). A Novus Ordo Seclorum- New Order for the Ages- with pagan gods sprawled all over the Capitol Dome and currency- is an awkward contradiction for a Christian nation. 

Boyd had the good sense not to name the pagans of constructive chaos behind the myth of the dome. The World  Below the Dome is symbolic of all these mythic structures we cannot see. So we may take our dome as a godsend of revelation even if it is really holding us in a hiding of the holes and rocks of caves.

Shame that E Pluribus Unum is pagan? The motto dollar bill doesn't say, "Gather Together In One All Things In The Messiah, both in heaven and on earth in Him." The coins of ancient Israel were inscribed "Jerusalem the Holy," but Americans grope to a seclorum end, not of the Son of Psalm 2, Kiss the Son whose kingdom is set upon the holy hill. The seclorum sounds more like Hosea 13.2,  the work of craftsmen where the sacrificers of men kiss the calves. Calf kissing and human sacrifice  is being pursued downtown at the Uruk hotel of the Kidney, or the Capitol of The Severed Head  and Ishtar, we shall say.

Why disrespect the American gods when no body believes in them? Do you follow Zeus? Myth is such an acquired taste. What's wrong with George Washington ascending to heaven on the Capitol Dome inhabited by the gods Athena, Poseidon, Hermes, Vulcan, Demeter? Well, only that Judeo-Christian scripture makes the breaking of these gods its prime tenet. Not just the Greek gods either, but Ishtar's face broken on these cookies and idols of stone whose earlier versions of Greek pantheon were all broken by Abraham.  That's why Nimrod threw him in the furnace. Disrespect sounds of the gods. What's the connection between the Greek/Roman gods and Ishtar's Babylon in America? We find out in a new age of myth. 

Abraham's Hammer 

Down here in D. C. the dome represents mythic control. If pieces of the Capitol are one day sold as the Berlin Wall was (for the movies are taking out the White House and Capitol most summers), come and buy, come and buy -- vendors will have the same world they've always had, that is, whoever is unjust, let him be unjust still  (Johnny Cash). Pieces of new world rising, shunned along with what raises itself to heaven with George in the funnel of the Capitol Dome, sucking up to the miscegenate gods, will swirl. They swirl, they swirl and then comes the sound. I'm saying that there has been a takeover and all the pieces of this new world shunned by Abraham are the New Washington Order that Welcomes Lincoln to Heaven, but it is not the one we know, or John Adams and Benjamin Rush, who protested against Washington's deification. What could we have against our Fathers, or against what they did or didn’t do?  Back masked,  E Pluribus Unum becomes  the cord its adversaries use to strangle them.

The universe began as one and became many. Earth's global dominion makes way for tyranny. Are you glad you were here to see it, at least in the movies, tyranny in the guise of a lizard with a four chambered heart, six fingers, toes and a spine, a  space alien with stars as its General? This is a lot bigger than America.The feet of man standing on earth has his province in Psalm 8. Ordained there, he was no fantasy of space devil or alien. All the flushable gods of the Capitol Dome, who swell their minds in the global play, turn human hopes into fantasy  Clown Earth politics and religion serve up in a rare Novus Ordo of myth from the bowel of this heaven.. According to myth, government officials have no personal identity, evil is banal, and the turds are there to make the human superfluous, to hold office till Osiris comes.
