People of Interest By Tennessee Elijah |
President George W. Bush: This is a man who was rebellious before maturity, resentful of dominating parents
prior to his marriage and fatherhood, an introvert who has mental faculties capable of retention, reasoning abilities that makes good
judgment possible, and he is a person inclined to be honest. George is generally
appreciative of those who are creative, productive, disciplined, hard-working,
steadfast, patient, persistent, neighborly, kind to children, God-fearing
and patriotic, His pet peeve is anyone who resents successful people, and his main
personal weakness is an unnatural love for sports and out-of-door activities
-- which often keeps him from giving necessary attention to his family and friends.
His political enemies should be told that this "man" has been destined according
to the purpose of God, and though less than perfect, he has been anointed to serve America with distinction at this time of international crisis. |
Senator Hillary Clinton: What can we say about a woman with uncommon ambition? What can be said about a former
student of law who became the wife of a politician, and who knew how to work
behind the scenes to keep her "man" on track? She has always wanted to be the
first female President of the United States, long before she confided her once
secret purpose to others. She had set her ambitious goals many years before moving to Arkansas. Now we see her serving the state of New York
while claiming she intends to remain a dedicated and loyal Senator. Hillary
has never sacrificed her desires for anyone's benefit except her own. William was
a "stepping stone" leading to her current status -- just as voters in her new
state have been, and just as voters in a national election will be if the opportunity
is ever presented. Unfortunately, circumstances do not always conform
to personal intent or purpose. This famous lady might have a debt to pay society? |
Bill O'Reilly: As a young child, there were dreams of becoming a spiritual leader. The priesthood
for an Irish lad would have been worthy of his family traditions. As teen years
progressed to his premature adulthood, Bill found himself in conflict between
appreciation for the opposite sex and dedication to the high ideals of his church.
Personal popularity for him was like a beacon in the night that led to situations
were the spotlight was shining. His charisma was noted by others as they sought his company, and often fed his ego with their
compliments. Pursuit of journalism as a career was an afterthought -- once life
on the "stage" seemed too far beyond his reach. Now that he has become a household
name in America and throughout many nations, Bill has been able to channel his brilliance, quick wit, and common-sense-honesty into success that many of his counterparts find impossible to fathom. His "Truth" is the same "Truth" that most of us cherish! |
Donald Trump: Donald is the center of the universe in his own mind! This perfectionist who has
been able to use cash flow and debt in mystical ways to amass more than one fortune
will always exude self-confidence. His physical charm, personal wit, political
connections, secret business formulas, and ultra-shrewd dealings have all
combined to keep him on top of his game. Donald admires many special people, and
constantly struggles to elevate himself beyond the level he perceives them to be. He gauges himself by standards other than
money, taking greater pride in overcoming obstacles which have temporarily
kept him from reaching his goals. Generally, he is a gracious winner -- even though his temper flares out of control when setbacks occur. Those who have been on the losing side of Donald's business strategies can attest to his uncanny luck, and his knack for being at the right place at the right time! His public persona is only a facade! |
Senator John F. Kerry: Here we have a Democrat who idolizes Abraham Lincoln, not just for philosophical reasons, but because of superficial comparisons that he originally made as a young man who saw himself as an equal. Like Lincoln, he was able to use verbal persuasions convincingly. John learned how to manipulate his family and friends by using abstract logic, by intimidating them with his recollection of events, and by his unique ability to remember minor bits of information which made him seem superior. As his reputation grew through the years, it was easy for John to do whatever it took to maintain his egotistical regard for self-exaltation. He eagerly made personality transitions required to elevate himself into powerful positions once occupied by famous leaders that he desired to emulate. His connection to the Kennedy family and the "JFK" moniker is a source of pride that has clouded his political decisions and has eroded the morality inherent within spiritual values he chooses to embrace. |
Vice President Dick Cheney: Dick is accustomed to being "out of sight, out of mind." He would rather be seen
as "second fiddle," or be equated to "still waters run deep." His sense of duty
was evident before he became a man when doing as he was told by elders. Through
his difficult years as a student, his focus was always on getting down to the
"nitty-gritty," and attempting to see the forest instead of just trees. Leaning
how to achieve his objectives came through "trial and error," teaching him that
"perfectionists" get ulcers. When attempting to suppress his frustrations, control
his emotions when becoming angry, or dogmatically asserting himself among those who fail to appreciate his wisdom, Dick was taught
that the "flesh is weak" even though the "spirit is willing! Now as he proceeds
to perform his responsibilities with humility, we are witnessing a leader in
action who knows "which side of the bread his butter is on." Too bad we all can't
be that smart! |
Saddam Hussein: Coming out of a disastrous childhood in a community where superstition is prevalent, Saddam managed to survive his youth by demoralizing opponents with intimidation. He soon came to believe in his twisted mind, based on reactions to threats against enemies, that tomorrow only comes for those who steal, kill, and destroy. What he thought of as "wisdom," most normal people in civilized communities think of as "cunning;" what he thought of as "good," others call "evil." Saddam is a tragic figure for reasons that only God can explain! He took upon himself the mantle of his hero, setting himself up as the rightful heir to the throne previously occupied by Nebuchadnezzar. Dreams of a revived Babylonian empire had more relevance for this man than the life of anyone who stood in his way. Had he been allowed to continue his dictatorship over Iraq, borders between himself and most of the Middle East would have eventually burned away. |
Secretary of State Colin Powell: The hidden agenda of this eager leader has more to do with genetics than politics.
Coming out of a youthful environment where tolerance and diversity was a rare commodity, Colin used his sense of determination to resist negative circumstances and intelligently struggled from one plateau to another. It is not in his character to betray or take advantage of inferior acquaintances, and even though his goals are defined within his own mind, seldom does he share his complicated thoughts with others. Having the wisdom to know his responsibilities, both personally and professionally, he will tend to make decisions based more on private goals than on national priorities. For this reason, the dream of being the first man of his heritage to occupy the White House will grow more intense in the future -- even though his objectives will not be clearly defined publicly. He understands that what he has attained during his career already has far surpassed his earlier expectations. |
Senator Ted Kennedy: Growing up in a wealthy, rambunctious family as his mother's favorite son, made this
altar boy turned politician believe that "winning over competitors" is better
than bowing down to an invisible God. During his younger years, Ted was often
challenged by older brothers who stepped on his turf, distracting him from his
aspirations, causing him to pout when good-natured jest interfered with his need
to dominate contemporaries. His admiration for the accomplishments of John
and Robert turned to resentment in later life when it became obvious that
his role in history would be less than what his mother had promised. He still
finds it difficult to believe that circumstances beyond his personal control have made attainment of his imagined destiny impossible. His struggle to make a mark on the world society will ultimately have more to do with the European Union than with the United States. Ted values power over patriotism! |
Mel Gibson: Coming out of a "get it while you can," "if it feels good, do it," "the early bird
gets the worm," mentality, the aggressive nature of this handsome boy/man took him through many doors of opportunity. Somewhere beyond ultimate success along a narrow line between boredom and a middle-age crisis, Mel found himself stubbornly facing reality for the first time in his life. Lust for materialistic things and countless fleeting pleasures he had experienced, no longer plagued waking hours as he floundered in the realm of spirituality during frequent expectations of fleshly demise. His weaknesses were no longer dictated by selfish thoughts or behavior once his heart was turned outward instead of inward. Mel was soon feeling like he had a "gift" to offer once fear of death had been absolved. After taking what he wanted from others was no longer a thrill, his direction in life changed, miraculously, and then -- "passion" returned to make him whole again! |
Bill Gates: Out of a childhood filled with ordinary family events, this quiet person navigated
between conflicting personalities while in pursuit of goals he set for himself.
Often the object of bad jokes from jealous relatives, Bill seldom defended his reputation or tried to retaliate with verbal revenge. His sense of curiosity, appreciation for electronic gadgetry, instinctive skill at making repairs on home appliances, and unassuming personality was the primary reason for his gradual introduction into the world of computers that he now occupies. Before and after success led to his wealth, his lifestyle values have been modest middle class -- caring more about "output" than "input" in most matters pertaining to his existence. Bill has always been admired and respected by his peers, and they often come to him for guidance and assistance when faced with problems. World leaders should be advised to approach this man in regard to "mind transformation systems" that he is capable of implementing. |
Michael Jackson: Something in the genes of this talented genius explains the success he has enjoyed
-- along with his siblings. Starting out as a child-entertainer was a natural
occurrence for these children of a father with big dreams. They were taught that
"originality" and "practice, practice, practice" can lead to the ultimate "golden
ring" in the world of show business. Michael learned his lessons well, and
became an icon among adoring fans who admire his unique skills as a vocalist
and dancer. Keeping his image dominant over competitors has been a top priority for this clever manipulator of
the public psyche. While he speaks his words softly, and commits his outrageous
acts, the news media falls into his "publicity traps" without fully realizing
the full extent of his strategy. There is a "transition" taking place between
the "Michael" the world once knew, and the "Michael" who is yet to be born anew.
His career is not over, but only beginning! |
Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger: The "shining city on a hill" for one young man far from the shores of California
was the "American Dream" -- back before body-building became his ticket to movie-making.
This handsome man with big muscles, and a big name, left his beloved
homeland of Austria behind when golden doors were opened to his constant knocking. Now that he has achieved credibility as Governor of a big
state, Arnold is destined to fight the biggest battles of his career. If he
succeeds in bringing fiscal order out of a chaotic economy, maintain dignity when
his common sense is overruled by ignorant foes, and can effectively capture
public support for innovative programs designed to increase marketplace stability,
Arnold might be inclined to make a run for the Senate -- on his way to the
White House. Unfortunately, what might have been, or what could have been will
have nothing to do with what will be -- for Arnold and America! |
Britney Spears: This young lady recognized her own talents at an early age due to supportive relatives
who were musically inclined themselves. The dreams instilled within her
consciousness by a mother who understood why "mental imaging" and persistence leads
to success has been the driving force. As teen years lead to maturity, her
independence will begin to dominate the relationship, and "Mom" will no longer rule -- that is
until unexpected trouble comes. The trappings of fame and fortune are not as
satisfying as once believed, and Britney will slowly return to her original way
of thinking. This hometown girl who gained worldwide acclaim will one day turn her back on screaming fans and the
glitter of blinding lights when recapturing the innocence she tried desperately
to hide. The "real" girl behind the pretty face will turn out to be a
real woman filled with contentment. It will be her new life as a wife and mother,
after a few disappointing attempts at movie-making, that will make her realize
how lucky she is to be alive! |
Janet Jackson: Famous brothers, a domineering mother, a strict disciplinarian father, and a yearning
to be loved has all contributed to making this lady a very complex person.
Janet has inner and outer beauty that has been like a light shining through her
music, making her popularity different from most girl performers. She values
honesty very highly, opening up herself in ways that sometimes amaze her family
and friends. Janet would sacrifice almost anything to keep attention on her career,
not so much for typical reasons that motivate most artists, but for the
"love" she equates to every dollar fans spend to experience what she offers. As
she grows more mature and confident, the time will come when her creativity will be given to spiritual ideas. You will see her writings and movie roles taking
prominence over music as she makes an effort to give something back to those
who made success possible. Yes, there's much more to Janet than sex appeal! |
