The Question You Have To Ask Yourself

Is this: Just how difficult would it be at this point for the Obama Administration to throw Mubarak under the proverbial bus?

The answer, which is becoming increasingly clear, is this: extraordinarily difficult.

Why? Because, over the last thirty years, Mubarak has gained admission to the exclusive ranks of the global Killers Club--a fraternity which Barack Obama joined upon his election to the U.S. Presidency--and there is honor among Killers.

To throw Mubarak under the bus would violate the sacred bond that exists among the members of this group.

You see, these are very special people. They are law-makers who function above the law. And where laws are acknowledged by these people, they are not laws subject to moral strictures. This is a status enjoyed by very few human beings on this planet.

Therefore, if Obama were to suddenly acknowledge that there are limits--legal limits--applicable to Hosni Mubarak, or moral limits applicable to any laws, why, might there not also be legal and moral limits applicable to the Presidential actions of Barack Obama? So much for extraordinary rendition or executive assassination orders. So much for the pillaging of the middle class by the Wall Street financiers of the militarized corporatocracy--or, in the case of Egypt, the corporatized militocracy.

Such an acknowledgment would not only complicate Obama's life, it would constitute an act of treason towards the one group of people to whom Obama owes unquestioning loyalty.

No, no, not the American people, dear reader! The global Killers Club.

Now do you understand why Mubarak Obama is not at liberty to throw Obama Mubarak under the bus?

It's a question of honor and loyalty, not a question of justice or morality.

If you had thought otherwise, gentle reader, you must have been laboring under the burden of a category mistake.

Category mistakes are a common form of confusion, of a lack of conceptual clarity. Such mistakes are easily rectified.

If you have any further questions, let me refer you to Mr. O'Brien. His success rate in clearing up such conceptual confusions is very high. He has pioneered revolutionary techniques in this field. Frankly, I think he may be a future Nobel Laureate. By God he should be--if there's any justice in this world!
