There's No Debating Over Latest War in Obama's America

The lack of debate over Obama and his Congressional  co-conspirators’ upcoming  Syrian war flies in the face of what a democratic society should be based on but we sadly no longer live in one. The self-righteous, self-serving  jingoist rhetoric that has poisoned the discourse for two weeks now is ratcheting up ever higher on a daily basis. Obama administration apparatchik and their bloodthirsty, warmongering allies like Senator John McCain may babble about “democracy” in the Middle East yet it is all more of the same Orwellian doublespeak. As Barry and the boys move heaven and earth to save face after his moronic “red line” statement on Syrian escalation there is a complete absence of anything but the official state narrative that saturates American media. If you don’t like it then you just may be a traitor, a conspiracy theorist or just downright anti-American, it is just another flavor of the same manure that was peddled by the Bush-Cheney crew when they browbeat Americans into attacking Iraq on bogus pretenses. The imminent Syrian misadventure actually makes it look as though Obama’s predecessor really did have the smoking gun, so shoddy, frantic and made up as they go along is their case for this looming foreign policy fiasco.

The hypnotic drumbeat goes on even as the Senate Foreign Relations Committee has just provided the Obama-Kerry-Rice Axis of Evil with another item to check off of the list with an approval for strikes that was just voted out of committee. The corrupt Senate will likely vote on Monday followed by the House and then Barry will have the political cover to swing the big guns in the direction of Damascus for the latest of our modern Crusades. It is imperative that the heavy lifting of propagandizing the sheeple and conducting the sham of a congressional ‘debate’ be done before more facts about the Ghouta gassing seep out to blow a hole in the entire stinking Obama case for war. The last thing that can be allowed is for the U.N. inspection results (which could take 3 weeks) to muck things up and the administration according to a Washington Post story the administration has already dismissed U.N. inspectors citing that: “the findings — expected in less than two weeks — no longer matter, citing its own evidence that the Syrian government was behind the chemical weapons attack in the Damascus suburbs”. Seems like the entirety of the U.N. involvement was nothing more than a dog and pony show as the decision has already been made based on the same type of secret evidence that Obama’s secret FISA court produces. Yet the rulers of  this country have the audacity to preach democracy to the rest of the world, hypocrisy is the coin of the realm in 2013 America.

In our phony “democracy” what the ordinary schmucks want has not mattered for a good long time now, it has been made especially clear under Obama. Despite widespread resistance the regime rammed the bitter pill of Obamacare down the throats of Americans without a chaser. This massive expansion of big government is when it all comes down to it nothing more than a gift to the insurance parasites to whom it delivers yoked and chained millions of new customers with the threat of punitive action by the state levied against those who do not comply.  Obama has also presided over the ongoing strip-mining operations that have destroyed the U.S. economy and provided taxpayer house money for the well-heeled degenerates on Wall Street to gamble with. He has also launched an unprecedented assault on the Second Amendment and has the most powerful surveillance machine in human history at his disposal along with the DEA, DOJ and IRS as his enforcers. The IRS already has gone after political foes under this regime and the abuses of the NSA were only coming to light until the war machine and all of its accoutrements was fired up. None of this was debated nor even mentioned during the 2012 election which rapidly degenerated into the same state media friendly, substance free clash of dueling cults of personality. The only, and I emphasize only reason that Obama was able to win a second term was due to the abysmal quality of his opponent, an arrogant, high-rolling vulture capitalist  flip-flopper from Massachusetts who viewed over half of America with contempt and alienated a good portion of the conservative base. Not to infer that Mitt Romney would not have started another war because when you have a guy like Dan Senor as your top foreign policy adviser it would have been foremost on the agenda.

But I digress…

The Obama war on Syria is as inevitable this morning as the venality and sheer dishonesty of his war cabinet. Secretary of Skull and Bones John Kerry has repeatedly been caught stretching the truth whenever he wasn’t lying outright. So much so that Russian leader Vladimir Putin even came out and called bullshit on the former Democratic party presidential election loser.  The state propaganda mills are grinding their gears today in portraying Putin as the devil for rightfully pointing out that Kerry is indeed a liar who deliberately played down the role of Al Qaeda groups among the Syrian militants. It takes balls to defend the same terrorist organization that twelve years ago next Tuesday brought such devastation to American shores with the destruction of the World Trade Center, part of the Pentagon and murdered over 3,000 of our citizens in the process. It is remarkable that Kerry and the rest of Obama’s gangster administration would bed down with such wolves as they trump up the gassing of a still undetermined number of Syrians by still undetermined parties to override 9/11 as though those who died that day at the hand of Al Qaeda are somehow insignificant. Kerry also seems to have found a new “Curveball” in falsely attributing claims of an alleged high level Syrian defector. While he was providing testimony in front of the House Foreign Affairs Committee Kerry trotted out this whopper: “Just today, before coming in here, I read an e-mail to me about a general, the minister of defense, former minister or assistant minister, I forget which, who has just defected and is now in Turkey”. The problem, and give credit to columnist Dana Milbank of the WaPo for pointing it out is that Kerry was referring to a Reuters news story and NOT any such email at all. This administration seems to have an abundant supply of liars to trot out in front of Congress, Kerry is right up there with the perjurer James Clapper yet he wasn’t called on it.

The original Massachusetts flip-flopper continues to throw as much crap against the wall to see what sticks, the latest being that the administration has been assured by unspecified “Arab countries” that they would pick up the tab and pay the full cost of a U.S. ground invasion of Syria. That cost of course is denominated in dollars and not blood, to the decadent and oppressive Saudi monarchy money means nothing. They probably could pay for the war off of the loose change that could be dredged out of their chair cushions. One wonders what the whopper of the day will be for Kerry who married into the Heinz family ketchup fortune and is the consummate inside man representing the will of the global elite. Kerry isn’t the only prevaricator either, newly minted Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel is today having to back off of the bald-faced lie thatRussia was providing chemical weapons to the Assad regime in Syria. The Pentagon has been forced to walk back Hagel’s fairy tale, with Obama at the G20 soiree in Russia and tensions between the prince of petulance and Putin already running high over the Snowden affair it doesn’t exactly contribute to civil small talk over dinner. Obama will use the occasion to shill for his new war but once you get outside the borders of Der Homeland it is a horrifying realization to our leaders that people elsewhere and not subject to the media brainwashing actually are able to think for themselves. Now even the Pope has even come out to weigh in on the “futile” military solution in Syria.

Protests and serious moral stances against what could very well be Obama’s bumbling provocation of WW III and subsequent death toll in the millions are indeed futile. The propaganda imagery of the victims of the Gouta gassing which are the sinister pornography of state aggression are are just too mesmerizing. I know people, very smart people who are in a state of high frenzy today and braying for an attack on Syria, they are not O-Bots either. One longtime friend shrilly accused me of being a monster for not buying the war propaganda because by God if Assad is gassing his own people it won’t be long before he has a nuke. This is a man who would sooner sing the praises of Satan himself than Obama who he openly detests yet he has been co-opted as an advocate for the true monsters. The looped video of the poor dead children, victims of a geopolitical game that they will never grow up to understand is just too powerful, to a television lobotomized population they are the most ass-kicking club in the bag for the war machine. As libertarian writer Justin Raimondo of Antiwar.com wrote in his most recent column about how Democrat and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi is now shamefully exploiting her own grandchild as a prop to sell the war pegs it spot on:

Pelosi wails about “the children.” Yes, it’s always about “the children,” isn’t it? Every war propaganda campaign in modern history has featured them in starring roles as the ubiquitous first victims of the tyrant’s sword. The Kaiser was impaling them on Prussian bayonets, according to Her Majesty’s propagandists intent on dragging us into WWI: more recently, images of newborns thrown out of their incubators and trodden underfoot by Iraqi jackboots were conjured by the Emir’s propagandists as the rationale for Gulf War I. Screaming crying children clinging to their mothers’ skirts served as background music for “news” reports designed to gin up the Kosovo war.

Yet there are some babies the War Party would rather not talk about—such as those who will come under the heading of “collateral damage” as US bombs rain on Syria. They don’t want to talk about the babies caught up in the sectarian cleansing campaign that will be carried out by US-backed Syrian jihadists as our air strikes give them the advantage. There won’t be many Alawite or Christian children left in the whole country by the time US-backed “rebels” overrun the place.

Selectively child-centered war pornography is a staple in the interventionist arsenal, the old stand by resorted to when reason fails: indeed, the failure of reason, and the prevention of rational thought is the cognitive goal of all war propaganda. Facts, logic, evidence, all are thrown out the window and raw emotion overrides thought. Violence is the inevitable result.

It’s easy to manipulate people when their rational faculties are shut down. Under these circumstance, full-grown women and men don’t even know they’re being manipulated – but the Littlest Pelosi wasn’t fooled. That’s because children, being master manipulators themselves, usually know when someone’s trying to put one over on them. Skillfully dodging Grandma’s war propaganda aimed at his heart, he wanted the facts, and his incisive question – “Were these children in the United States?” – goes right to the heart of the matter.

You do have to admit that it works and it especially works for Barack H. Obama who is already well versed in the art of the exploitation of dead children to push a radical political agenda. One needs to only harken back to last December when El Presidente used the tragic slaughter o fgrade schoolers by a heavily armed lunatic at Sandy Hook Elementary School to cynically push for more gun control. The right for Americans to bear arms has been enshrined by the Second Amendment yet this rogue leader would go after that most basic guarantee of liberty, using his government goons and the power of the state to impinge upon that which is most fundamental. He also has shown his obvious contempt for the Constitution by allowing his NSA Stasi, which has now been completely banished from the state media to wage war against the Fourth Amendment and if you include his war on journalists the First Amendment as well. So there will be war in Syria and soon, with the Constitution pretty much already torn to shreds by Barry and his minions all but the willfully blind should be able to see that we no longer live in a functional democracy and no amount of propaganda and lip service by charlatans can obscure that lamentable fact.
