It was so obvious all along but nobody saw the link; it was literally staring us all in the face but we all missed it.
Let me explain something about history. The most important point is that it writes itself; what is often called history is maybe an incident in time recorded by one person as he sees it. Its interpretation depends on who wrote it and on who reads it; to understand history you have to read between the lines. Let me summarize some thoughts for you.
Early 2009 I wrote this; many laughed at me but I acknowledge that I did write it:

The next link will show you what I wrote during the month after and it annoyed a lot of people. All I can say is that if you read up on events in Europe, Russia, China and the Middle East over the period since I feel that I have been vindicated

Since then everybody in the News Media started writing about China and I added my bit on occasions; one such will suffice:

Towards end October this year of 2010 there was a brief mention on the Internet about Obama going to India right after the mid-term election; some people expressed their concern about it but nothing more and the day before mid-term I wrote this:

In the meantime my eye had fallen on a very strange post in one of these weird Blogs. I read it but didn’t take much notice. People write this sort of thing from time to time.
When Obama set out for India all hell broke loose on the Internet and I wrote this:

All along In the meantime I have been considering the future of Blogging, the Media in Politics and my own participation in the din, hue and cry. The “much ado about nothing” had become a bore. Quite frankly I had decided to play a diminishing role but not yet entirely withdrawing.
Until early this morning; something happened and made up my mind. There was a lot of noise outside; dawn was out but I was still half asleep and the other half not fully awake either when Old Rip van Winkel nearly broke my front door down to get in.
“Get up and get dressed,” he bellowed. It was strange; though a tall man with a strong voice he generally never gets excited about things but he was highly exited this time.
“Get dressed. You are coming with me; and hurry, will you,’ and he started throwing clothes in my direction.
“What’s up, Rip,” I asked, confused.
“There’s a comet coming in to land,” he said, “and if you don’t hurry up it is going to land right on your head. Hurry up, will you?”
“What comet?” I asked and vaguely remembered the weird article. This is the one that I referred to a few lines up:

“Obama’s comet, darn Ike, let’s get out of here. He was born in outer space you know and I had a dream last night that his ancestors were comet dwellers. Let’s get out of here.
I asked as gently as I could whether I can log into the Net and showed him the article.
“That must be the darn thing I dreamt about. It’s huge, so big it will probably cover the whole continent when it lands; you want to be with me when it happens; you will be safe in the cave.”
“What about food?” I asked. Food is important. One needs food now and then. You know what he said. He had calmed down and was the gentle person that I know him to be.
“Ike,” he said, “we just take food for two days, we are going to talk for two days but then I am going back to sleep for another two hundred years. You can come down for provisions if you need any but I suggest you sleep as long as you can until this is all over. This will change the World, or as your new scientists say there will be a lot of rapid evolution to sort out the mess this World is in.”
We chatted for a while and he sighed before he left. We had agreed that he will bring his two mules down in the morning to fetch me.
I shall try and get an update in to let you know. I have written a lot about Rip van Winkel as many of you should know. Rip knows things about history that you don’t even get on the Internet. But one thing I am positively sure is that if Rip van Winkel says Obama was born on a comet you can bet that’s a fact.
