Obama’s Potemkin Democracy


In a timely bit of stagecraft that was conducted to much pomp in the White House Rose Garden on Saturday afternoon Barry backed off and proclaimed that he would seek the approval of Congress prior to launching WW III.  It is total horseshit of course, the military attack on Syria is already in the bag. Obama is only going through the motions of the ridiculously passé idea of checks and balances – he already HAS the votes.  The presser had all of the hallmarks of the great dictators of the past, for example the call for national unity:  “Today I’m asking Congress to send a message to the world that we are united as one nation” and the outsider “this menace must be confronted”.  Let’s face it, the United States Congress is nothing but a criminal organization that in any decent society would be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law and its members would be rotting in prison for their treason against the people that they are tasked by the Constitution with representing. This parliament of whores (to borrow a term from P.J. O’Rourke) is a den of thieves, liars, perverts, de-facto corporate lobbyists and other miscreants who are beholden only to self-promotion and money, foreign or domestic.  Barry has stones, I have to give that to him for reversing field for this bit of chicanery on the first Saturday that NCAA Football season kicked into full swing. Alas, it is nothing but a triple reverse, statue of liberty, flea-flicker play designed to trick the American people into actually thinking that they have a voice when it comes to another war. They don’t.
I have often wondered about one thing regarding the U.S. Congress, especially the U.S. Senate. How is it that so many of the most powerful members who effectively are able to control the entire body through abuse of the arcane rules to stall anything that is remotely beneficial to the American people just happen to come from states that aren’t demographically significant when it comes to population? For instance take one Harry Reid, the Democrat Majority Leader who hails from Nevada, according to the 2010 U.S. Census this is the 35th most populous state in the nation. What about Max Baucus, who was the key middleman in brokering deals with the insurance parasites when Obamacare was designed, he hails from Montana which according to the same 2010 Census happens to be the 44th most populous state. Then there is our Secretary of Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs Tim Johnson from South Dakota, the 46th most populated state. Both are retiring in 2014 and will likely join the ranks of highly paid officials for the very sectors that they truly represented. Throw in that South Dakota happens to be a favorite location for rapacious credit card companies to incorporate in and operate out of and see that their other Senator is the influential Republican John Thune and something stinks badly.  It goes to reason that it is likely much cheaper to buy a Senator from a smaller state isn’t it?
The really big money though, the Wall Street banking cartel and military industrial complex dough goes to New York and California, represented by Chuck Shumer in the Empire State and that fat virulently anti-American toad Diane Feinstein out on the left coast. Shumer heads up the Senate Rules Committee and Feinstein lords it over the Select Committee on Intelligence where she serves as the impenetrable firewall of cellulite that protects Obama’s NSA Stasi. The entire system is rotten to the core and anyone who may speak out as opposition to  this racket, for instance Rand Paul is rapidly demonized by the corrupt state media. Republicans are led by the mush-mouthed, deal cutting Mitch McConnell from Kentucky, number 26 in terms of population. I could go on but why bother other than to say that Vice President Joe Biden’s long held Senate seat was in Delaware, 45th on the list and another Mecca for usurious credit card companies.
It is a dead bang certainty that Sunday morning’s bloviation circuit talking head shows will be led by a gaggle of ghouls and war freaks sent forth by Obama’s imperial decree to sow the seeds of fear in a manner unseen since the run up to the Shock and Awe invasion of Iraq. John McCain and Lindsay Graham will likely be front and center. It will be Syrian leader Assad who will be trotted out as the latest version of  the new Hitler and by God it is only Barack Hussein Obama who like Sir. Winston Churchill all those many years ago is the one to stand up to him. Bomb Syria for the flag-swaddled glory of mom, apple pie and what Ronald Reagan once referred to as that “shining city on the hill” before Obama and his predecessors turned it into a toxic, lawless slum thanks to their corrupt bastardizing of capitalism and vampire like taste for blood.
The fix is in folks, this is nothing but a Potemkin democracy presided over by a pack of psychopaths and  greedballs. It is all just a show for the suckers, schmucks and rubes. It as the late, great H.L. Mencken once so eloquently nailed it that “Democracy is the worship of jackals by jackasses”.  The ordinary people have not one iota of influence when it all comes down to it in Obama’s Potemkin Democracy.
Goebbels shrugged.

Obama Sprints Towards WW III


As has been made brutally apparent there is nothing that is going to derail Barry’s upcoming attack on Syria, some say that it will come this very weekend. The state media propagandists have already prepped the battlefield of the American mind and it would be very suitable were the holiday weekend barbecues to be steeped in rally round the flag nationalism. The U.N. inspectors havepacked up and fled the country so the cruise missiles could start flying at any moment. It is imperative to Obama that this show get started while there is still time to prevent the formal inspection results from being released. A weekend attack would also be a preemptive strike against an unlikely rebellion by a feckless and corrupt Congress to throw a monkey wrench into the plans that could muck up Operation Save the NSA Stasi.  A nice little attack would allow Barry to wave the bloody flag and then this week’s kickoff of NFL football season would be a great two-pronged distraction away from the outrages of the surveillance state.
Now Vladimir Putin has even come out publicly to call bullshit on this travesty and to call it what it is, a clear violation of international law. The Russian leader, lately a painful burr under cowboy Barry’s saddle also pointed out the obvious in why would the Assad regime use chemical weapons in a war that it was already winning? As has already been made clear by the moron in chief’s ill-advised statement about his “red line” for U.S. military intervention in Syria it would be idiotic on Assad’s part to even consider it. Not every country has an incompetent idiot for a leader, that seems to be a uniquely American thing these days. While there is every effort being made by the Obama gangsters to circumvent Congress any attack on Syria should immediately be considered an impeachable offense and there should be an equally fervent race against time to get this assclown removed from office before he further escalates and petulantly allows his personal pissing match with Putin to escalate into World War III. A regional conflagration in an already volatile Middle East could rapidly turn into full scale Armageddon with Russia and China being sucked in and will bring far more than the alleged 1,300 deaths by the poison gas that are being used to justify the administration’s Hitlerian big lie of “moral outrage”.  I wonder where Darrell Issa is lately because this time it is for real.
The Obama war cabinet is pushing relentlessly, led by newly appointed National Security AdviserSusan Rice (hell hath no fury like a woman scorned) and Skull and Bonesman John Kerry for the limited strikes or in cowboy terms “shot across the bow” to get this war started.  But it will never be enough for the deranged Senator McCain who wants the entire region turned into a parking lot like the self-admitted war criminal that he is. Many Americans also share McCain’s lust for war, the vast majority of them never have served in the military but have been spoon fed their perspectives by Hollywood, video games and Pentagon propaganda that exalt the glory of it all and never cease to invoke the WW II metaphors. How a society could become so inculcated into willingly accepting the slaughter of others who happen to live in countries that have been targeted by corrupt politicians to serve their wealthy backers who are only interested in plundering the target’s natural resources is shameful. War in America has practically ascended into the clouds to occupy God’s own throne , so reverently it is worshiped here in Der Homeland.
In Kurt Vonnegut’s classic novel Slaughterhouse Five the author uses the books of a fictional science fiction writer named Kilgore Trout as a narrative device to insert social commentary into his overall story. One of ‘Trout’s’ tales addressed the strange contradictions of a society that will accept with open arms one who kills civilians with state sanction during wartime while ostracizing one for silly, superficial reasons that are so reminiscent of America circa 2013:
This, too, was the title of a book by Trout, The Gutless Wonder. It was about a robot who had bad breath, who became popular after his halitosis was cured. But what made the story remarkable, since it was written in 1932, was that it predicted the widespread use of burning jellied gasoline on human beings. It was dropped on them from airplanes. Robots did the dropping. They had no conscience, and no circuits which would allow them to imagine what was happening to the people on the ground.
Trout’s leading robot looked like a human being, and could talk and dance and so on, and go out with girls. And nobody held it against him that he dropped jellied gasoline on people. But they found his halitosis unforgivable. And then he cleared that up, and he was welcomed to the human race.
El Presidente Barack H. Obama is the epitome of a gutless wonder and he is going to likely spend a part of this Labor Day weekend kicking back and watching his nefarious and illicit plot to wag the dog go live. Perhaps after the destruction is of a satisfactory level so as to sate the Emperor’s bloodlust he will unleash his media attack dogs to attack and smear critics and increase the NSA snooping. Then he will retreat to his own backyard barbecue to knock back a brew or two and roast a wienie while the flesh of the victims of his contemptible military strike is still smoldering

Cruise Missile Cowboy


As the old adage goes – if you give a man enough rope he will eventually hang himself and today Barack H. Obama should pay heed. Despite widespread public skepticism, a stunning smack downof British pardner David Cameron, Tonto to Obama’s Drone Ranger and a smelly case of chemical weapons use that brings back memories of “we don’t want the smoking gun to be a mushroom cloud” the leader is saddling up for a shootin’ war. I don’t ever want to hear a liberal or a Democrat attack George W. Bush again because now that Barry has turned cowboy with yet another new war, one that may even  turn into WW III and the American day of reckoning at the O.K. Corral Barry is now every bit as bad. I would venture to say that trail boss Obama is far worse than Bushever was simply because Bush never bothered pretending that he was anything other than a cowboy, his successor is a full blown Judas. Irony is hysterical in that the Nobel Peace Prize winner who was trusted by so many to end the wars is about to lead his own gang into a morass of death and destruction that has all of the potential to end up like that classic final showdown in the classic Sam Peckinpah western The Wild Bunch.
This is all on the Barry too. He spent too much of his first term acting as a triangulating, milquetoast, arugula eating, verbose, teleprompter reading effete snob and he was mocked and disrespected by his enemies and taken advantage of by his friends. When he idiotically came out last year and stated that the use of chemical weapons was his “red line” for sending the military bully boys into action in Syria it was only a matter of time until someone – and let me emphasize that we still have no idea of who – would call his bluff. Real men don’t chicken out when it’s time to take ten paces, turn around and draw, especially given the long, lurid and colorful history of American cowboy foreign policy and Obama now has little choice.  Thorough international investigations will take you only so far when the monstrous power of the military industrial complex and the blood barters of Wall Street catch the scent of blood money.  Toss in a grifter like Obama, still smarting over being pilloried throughout his lamentable first term and then having his nose rubbed into a bowl of borscht flavored humble pie with a vodka chaser by the black hat Putin over Ed Snowden and we have a man that is itching for a gunfight. One must wonder how many times that Django Unchained has been the nightly movie at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Nixon got his Vietnam rocks off by watching Patton and we know damned well how well that all turned out.
This is a looming disaster another step in the downtrend, but Barry can’t back down because as national sheriff he has laid down the law and can’t be seen as a ‘chicken’ . After the embarrassments of being rebutted by the U.N. Security Council and Cameron’s parliamentary fiasco the rogue Obama regime is today hanging it’s hat on a new U.S. intelligence report offering damning evidence of the Assad regime’s complicity in the chemical gas attack. Don’t bother stopping to think that the very same intelligence community has a vested interest in protecting their own asses by hyping a new war that will knock the NSA Stasi revelations out of the headlines and provide more time for Obama’s black ops hit teams to find and murder Ed Snowden.  The added benefit would be that any opposition to Barry’s big shootout in Damascus will quickly be labeled as “traitors” and accused of “aiding the enemy” for their daring to challenge El Presidente. This is the way it always works in totalitarian societies and post September 11, 2001 we are living in an increasingly obvious one. The very fact that Barry and the boys no longer bother hiding any of it is an ominous sign of what is yet to come.
So expect high noon anytime now, best get out and gas up your car before the coming oil price spike. The administration once again sent forth Skull and Bones member John Kerry to again spew out demagogic rhetoric in his normal monotonous delivery to push the propaganda line. French President Francois Hollande now appears to be joining the Obama gang as the 2013 incarnation of the “coalition of the willing” begins to take form. One can imagine that the cheese-eating surrender monkey French are still traumatized by their resistance to Bush’s Iraq war and having French Fries renamed Freedom Fries in the Congressional cafeteria. Obama is also now invoking the imminent threat to Israel and Jordan which will set the tone for the smearing of opponents as “isolationists” and pejoratives even worse than that. The question that is never once tolerated is that why is there always money for more war when the entire country is crumbling and is on the brink of becoming akin to a third world banana republic in the coming years. Such a question would quickly run astray of Obama and his state media lynching party and those who ask would be ruthlessly smeared.
So as we here sit on the eve of what would be the initial cruise missile shots of World War III we are only provided with the pro-war propaganda of the usual cavalcade of clowns. Poor pitiful Barry stands to lose face, and the sycophants and stenographer presstitutes worried about lost access were they to live up to their duties under the rapidly disappearing First Amendment. At least there are some, now exiled to the fringes who still dare to ask the forbidden questions. Take Pat Buchanan for instance who just wrote-
Understandably, Obama wants to get the egg off his face from having foolishly drawn his “red line” against chemical weapons, and then watching Syria, allegedly, defy His Majesty. But saving Obama’s face does not justify plunging his country into another Mideast war.
Does Obama realize what a fool history will make of him if he is stampeded into a new war by propaganda that turns out to be yet another stew of ideological zealotry and mendacity?
As of today, we do not know exactly what gas was used around Damascus, how it was delivered, who authorized it and whether President Bashar Assad ever issued such an order.
Yet, one Wall Street Journal columnist is already calling on Obama to assassinate Assad along with his family.
and
Nations that start wars and attack countries, as Gen. Tojo and Adm. Yamamoto can testify, do not get to decide how wide the war gets, how long it goes on or how it ends.
If the United States attacks Damascus and Syria’s command and control, under the rules of war Syria would be within its rights to strike Washington, the Pentagon and U.S. bases all across the Middle East.
Does Obama really want to start a war, the extent and end of which he cannot see, that is likely to escalate, as its promoters intend and have long plotted, into a U.S. war on Iran? Has the election in Iran of a new president anxious to do a deal with America on Iran’s nuclear program caused this panic in the War Party?
If we think the markets reacted badly to a potential U.S. strike on Syria, just wait for that big one to start. Iran has a population the size of Syria, Afghanistan and Iraq combined, and sits astride the Straits of Hormuz through which the free world’s oil flows.
And who will be our foremost fighting ally in Syria should we attack Assad’s army? The Al-Nusra Front, an arm of al-Qaida and likely successor to power, should Assad fall.
Whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad.
Obama is indeed mad as in pissed off at Putin and aS the ongoing revelations of his corrupt surveillance state as well as the ugly truth that his economic policies are a disaster and his health care reform plan is nothing more than a big government backed shakedown of taxpayers to benefit big corporations.  But in the sense of the word invoked by Buchanan he is not truly mad (is in crazy) and that is a very disconcerting though in that madmen eventually are stopped. It is the arrogant, foolhardy, reckless state of hubris as Barry has now received his own personal fix of our cowboy bent when it comes to global affairs.
It is all a matter of Obama playing a game of my missile is bigger than yours with Putin and Syria just happens to be the set of this tragedy in the making.
It is a tall order but the American people and Congress need to reign this varmint in now.

Obama Cynically Exploits MLK Legacy While Plotting Attack


As I was once told long ago by a world weary old traveler “desperation ain’t pretty” and I am one who always respects the wisdom of my elders.  His statement is truer today than ever as it is apparent that the rogue Obama administration is in a state of such desperation to do anything to stop the revelations over the NSA Stasi it is only a matter of how ugly it is going to get. For those who have an idea of history it doesn’t get much uglier than Barry choosing to take a dump all over Martin Luther King Jr. on the 50th anniversary of the famous “I have a dream speech”. It is of the utmost of cynicism and a revealing glimpse of how utterly devoid of consciousness that El Presidente is by paying homage to King on a day when his loathsome administration is preparing to launch military strikes on a country that has done absolutely nothing to us. But in Obama’s world ‘war is peace’ and while he spent parts of the day making public relations appearances and trotting out his same old sucker bait about hope and change he will soon preside over the bombing and missile strikes that will assuredly result in much “collateral damage” But to guys like him and the other swine who have occupied the office having blood on one’s hands is as blessed a rite of passage as dipping them into an urn of holy water. What is not said, and lies of omission are always the biggest lies of all here on our star-spangled lemming farm is that Martin Luther King Jr. vehemently opposed war. But our history is sanitized, stripped of any narrative that is inconvenient to the state much as Winston Smith found out during his day job at The Ministry of Truth.
There is a dog that needs to be wagged and by all reports that is going to happen very, very soon because quite frankly the petulant prince is damned sick and tired of having to be embarrassed for his war on the Constitution. While Russia blocked today’s U.N. National Security Council vote on the Syrian strike it is really of no concern of this lawless administration. They have already made it clear that they would invoke Slick Willie’s bombing of Belgrade for ‘humanitarian’ reasons and call in the strikes on Damascus no matter what is said, they simply don’t give a damn and there is nothing that can be done to stop it. This entire week has been a setup, from the initial hysteria over the Assad regime’s alleged gassing of women and children to the serpentine John Kerry’s demagoguery, right up there with the same horseshit that Colin Powell used to sell Americans on attacking Iraq (which is going swimmingly by the way with more carnage today) over cooked intelligence. That time it was Saddam’s mobile chemical weapons labs, this time it is John Kerry’s  hypocrisy laden blathering about “moral obscenities”. Like this country has any morals under the scum that has held power since the end of WW II, take for example the better late than never reporting that the U.S. and CIA knew full wall about Saddam’s use of chemical weapons and backed him at the time he was doing it. Kerry himself should know better (and he does but he is an elitist who is set for life) because it was in the very war that he hyped his service and later opposition to that used Agent Orange and Napalm against civilians. The man simply should make any decent human being want to vomit.
And it should be of no surprise that the Neocons who destroyed the Bush administration with their wet dreams for eternal war and global Empire are pushing Barry hard. In The Weekly Standard, the dirty little rag that is the Der Stürmer of the Neoconservative cancer in America a group of foreign policy “experts” are pushing for regime change in Syria. Among the signatories are Iran-Contra criminal Elliot Abrams, establishment GOP kingmaker Karl Rove, radical cleric Gary Bauer, Sarah Palin adviser Randy Scheunemann, former Senator and McCain-Graham BFF Joseph Lieberman, Mitt Romney adviser Dan Senor and of course William Kristol himself.  Kristol is a grinning little monkey with a big megaphone and a mania that borders on that of a pederast for sending other people to die. He is one of two influential media war pimps (the insipid Charles Krauthammer is the other) who were mockingly referred to by George W. Bush as “the bomber boys”.  The one thing that the Neocons all have in common is that they are chickenhawks who never served day one in the military. They are the same nerds who spent their high school days clustered around Avalon Hill board games in the school library fantasizing about growing up to be Caesars. And they always acted like they knew more than everybody else like the condescending little pricks that they were. The maladaptive twits would be laughable were they not afforded an exalted status by the military industrial complex and its offshoots who make billions of dollars a year off by keeping the war machine humming along.
The Neocons attached themselves to the Bush presidency like barnacles on the bottom of a garbage barge and then burdened the country with economic ruin with the two wars that were put onto the national credit card. Bush eventually saw the light and was a bit less aggressive in his second term, even to some degree shutting out Dick Cheney (enraging the V.P. by not pardoning Scooter Libby) and effectively ending the Project For The  New American Century as Wolfowitz, Feith and Perle were sent packing along with Von Rumsfeld. Bush was actually able to scale down the blood lust after he cleaned house but he was still stuck with two unwinnable and costly wars and a popularity rating only slightly above genital Herpes.
Now they have Barry’s ear….
Obama can talk all of this silver-tongued, finely parsed and carefully distilled bullshit that he is able to still sell but despite an in-the-pocket state-corporate propaganda system known as the media there are fewer buyers with each day. He can piss on Martin Luther King Jr. all that he wants,preaching economic and social justice while sparing no expense of the American war machine but as a wise man named Lincoln was so famously quoted: “You can fool all the people some of the time, and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time”. The sell by date on Obama’s seemingly endless bag of malarkey is rapidly approaching, even though we are a dumbed down and television brainwashed nation in 2013 good old Abe’s words are enduring. Let’s see how four dollar a gallon gas gets Americans lined up behind him while he salutes old glory for yet another unnecessary, costly and immoral war.
The only place where a regime change is needed is in Washington and enough is enough, if the bombs and cruise missiles rain down on Syria is expected over this shoddy excuse of a pretense for war then it’s time to impeach the bastard.
Martin Luther King Jr. must be rolling over in his grave.

Dick Cheney Defends Obama's NSA Stasi


When a man as notoriously opposed to historical American constitutional principles such as former V.P. Richard B. Cheney who is a stone cold fascist comes out in defense of Obama’s NSA Stasiyou get an idea of just how truly screwed that we all are. Cheney after all is the man most responsible for the decline in image of the United States when he and his neocon cabal essentially hijacked the George W. Bush presidency, running roughshod over the Constitution and leaving hell in his wake.  Speaking at a Steam Boat Springs Colorado gathering over the weekend Cheney was in rare form. While playing down any actual complimentary language towards  Obama himself, the evildoer whipped a shovel or two of chunks of bloody red meat to an adoring audience but it was sheer theater. Cheney engaged in some Clintonian hair-splitting in trying to separate the Obama administration’s use of the IRS to go after political groups yet not condemning the use of the NSA to spy on millions of Americans and their most intimate personal details. The insinuation being that while Barry and the boys must be held accountable for IRS abuses that he is somehow absolved for the NSA Stasi’s ongoing criminality. Behold this vile hypocrite for ye shalt never see another quite like him again. He didn’t overtly back Obama’s upcoming attack on Syria, a country that represents zero threat to the United States but considering his track record on such things I would imagine that his approval is assured even if not voiced out of necessity in the preposterous effort  to foist off his daughter Liz as Senatorial material.
But of course Cheney is defending the out of control NSA  because the surveillance apparatus it is the very operating system of the  fascist Deep State. One that Mr. Cheney himself played no small role in advancing and molding so that it now existentially threatens the American democracy itself . I am not sure that anyone reading this knows much about Continuity of Government (COG) which is a menace to all that we as Americans have ever held dear, so allow me to elaborate. During the Cold War it was determined that a parallel government needed to be set up. This was ostensibly for protection of the real government in the event of a Soviet nuclear attack/decapitation strike on Washington . The COG program was highly secretive and is very real despite the sort of paranoid, X Files connotations that will be made by those who dare not research them on their own lest they find their naive beliefs of the role of big government and American society shaken to their roots. During the 1980′s Cheney and his longtime buddy Donald Rumsfeld were both involved in ongoing secretive drills as the Reagan administration stared down the USSR. According to a 2004 piece for The Atlantic entitled The Armageddon Plan by James Mann from which I excerpt:
At least once a year during the 1980s Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld vanished. Cheney was working diligently on Capitol Hill, as a congressman rising through the ranks of the Republican leadership. Rumsfeld, who had served as Gerald Ford’s Secretary of Defense, was a hard-driving business executive in the Chicago area—where, as the head of G. D. Searle & Co., he dedicated time and energy to the success of such commercial products as Nutra-Sweet, Equal, and Metamucil. Yet for periods of three or four days at a time no one in Congress knew where Cheney was, nor could anyone at Searle locate Rumsfeld. Even their wives were in the dark; they were handed only a mysterious Washington phone number to use in case of emergency.
After leaving their day jobs Cheney and Rumsfeld usually made their way to Andrews Air Force Base, outside Washington. From there, in the middle of the night, each man—joined by a team of forty to sixty federal officials and one member of Ronald Reagan’s Cabinet—slipped away to some remote location in the United States, such as a disused military base or an underground bunker. A convoy of lead-lined trucks carrying sophisticated communications equipment and other gear would head to each of the locations.
Rumsfeld and Cheney were principal actors in one of the most highly classified programs of the Reagan Administration. Under it U.S. officials furtively carried out detailed planning exercises for keeping the federal government running during and after a nuclear war with the Soviet Union. The program called for setting aside the legal rules for presidential succession in some circumstances, in favor of a secret procedure for putting in place a new “President” and his staff. The idea was to concentrate on speed, to preserve “continuity of government,” and to avoid cumbersome procedures; the speaker of the House, the president pro tempore of the Senate, and the rest of Congress would play a greatly diminished role.
It was also during the Reagan administration that Lt. Colonel Oliver North who presented himself as an uber patriot (all while shanking Reagan himself in the back) while he was involved in drugs for weapons deals in order to circumvent the Constitution and to arm Latin American Contra militants he was also busily working on preparing for the suspension of the Constitution if necessary. Using a highly sophisticated computer program Colonel North, under REX 84 plotted the internment of domestic political dissidents. It was during the Iran-Contra hearings that North was asked by Texas Congressman Jack Brooks about the existence of such a program (REX 84) which brought forth the following conversation:
Congressman Jack] Brooks: Colonel North, in your work at the N.S.C. were you not assigned, at one time, to work on plans for the continuity of government in the event of a major disaster?
Brendan Sullivan [North's counsel, agitatedly]: Mr. Chairman?
[Senator Daniel] Inouye: I believe that question touches upon a highly sensitive and classified area so may I request that you not touch upon that?
Brooks: I was particularly concerned, Mr. Chairman, because I read in Miami papers, and several others, that there had been a plan developed, by that same agency, a contingency plan in the event of emergency, that would suspend the American constitution. And I was deeply concerned about it and wondered if that was an area in which he had worked. I believe that it was and I wanted to get his confirmation.
Inouye: May I most respectfully request that that matter not be touched upon at this stage. If we wish to get into this, I’m certain arrangements can be made for an executive session.
According to a must read 2008 piece by investigative journalist Christopher Ketcham entitled The Last Roundup the author wrote of a massive national database named Main Core which now five years later seems to mesh very nicely with Edward Snowden’s revelations of Obama’s (and Cheney’s) now totally run amok security apparatus. I excerpt the following from The Last Roundup:
Interestingly, plans drawn up during the Reagan administration suggest this parallel government would be ruling under authority given by law to the Federal Emergency Management Agency, home of the same hapless bunch that recently proved themselves unable to distribute water to desperate hurricane victims. The agency’s incompetence in tackling natural disasters is less surprising when one considers that, since its inception in the 1970s, much of its focus has been on planning for the survival of the federal government in the wake of a decapitating nuclear strike.
Under law, during a national emergency, FEMA and its parent organization, the Department of Homeland Security, would be empowered to seize private and public property, all forms of transport, and all food supplies. The agency could dispatch military commanders to run state and local governments, and it could order the arrest of citizens without a warrant, holding them without trial for as long as the acting government deems necessary. From the comfortable perspective of peaceful times, such behavior by the government may seem farfetched. But it was not so very long ago that FDR ordered 120,000 Japanese-Americans—everyone from infants to the elderly—be held in detention camps for the duration of World War II. This is widely regarded as a shameful moment in U.S. history, a lesson learned. But a long trail of federal documents indicates that the possibility of large-scale detention has never quite been abandoned by federal authorities.
Around the time of the 1968 race riots, for instance, a paper drawn up at the U.S. Army War College detailed plans for rounding up millions of “militants” and “American negroes” who were to be held at “assembly centers or relocation camps.” In the late 1980s, the Austin American-Statesman and other publications reported the existence of 10 detention camp sites on military facilities nationwide, where hundreds of thousands of people could be held in the event of domestic political upheaval. More such facilities were commissioned in 2006, when Kellogg Brown & Root—then a subsidiary of Halliburton—was handed a $385 million contract to establish “temporary detention and processing capabilities” for the Department of Homeland Security. The contract is short on details, stating only that the facilities would be used for “an emergency influx of immigrants, or to support the rapid development of new programs.” Just what those “new programs” might be is not specified.
It is, of course, appropriate for any government to plan for the worst. But when COG plans are shrouded in extreme secrecy, effectively unregulated by Congress or the courts, and married to an overreaching surveillance state—as seems to be the case with Main Core—even sober observers must weigh whether the protections put in place by the federal government are becoming more dangerous to America than any outside threat.
In the days after our hypothetical terror attack, events might play out like this: With the population gripped by fear and anger, authorities undertake unprecedented actions in the name of public safety. Officials at the Department of Homeland Security begin actively scrutinizing people who—for a tremendously broad set of reasons—have been flagged in Main Core as potential domestic threats. Some of these individuals might receive a letter or a phone call, others a request to register with local authorities. Still others might hear a knock on the door and find police or armed soldiers outside. In some instances, the authorities might just ask a few questions. Other suspects might be arrested and escorted to federal holding facilities, where they could be detained without counsel until the state of emergency is no longer in effect.
On September 11, 2001 Continuity of Government plans were implemented to some degree by then Vice President Cheney who ran the show while Bush was rushed from the Florida grade school classroom where he was reading My Pet Goat to the kiddies and flown around the country out of the way while Cheney took care of business. In fact according to Richard Clarke, a member of Obama’s NSA whitewash committee was quoted by an ABC News story as saying “On the morning of 9/11, the entire continuity-of-government program was activated”. No matter what your political leanings are this is just plain anti-American. Hell I despise both Obama and Cheney for largely the same reasons in that they are above the law elitists who play games with the lives of real people, and they could give a tinker’s damn about any of us.
It is very chilling to know that these powers which anyone with an inkling of common sense and a smattering of healthy skepticism have grown so exponentially under the Obama regime. During the Bush-Cheney years there were fears that another ‘terrorist’ attack would result in martial law being declared, with NSPD-51 being signed by Dubya in 2007 and the establishment of NORTHCOM a domestic military command that flew in the face of the Posse Comitatus Act such fears were seemingly justified. It was  Cheney himself, the de-facto head of that previous administration who vested such enormous power in the Executive Branch and now that power can be yielded by Barry and the boys to crush dissent to their radical plans. When it all hits the fan (and it will) whether it be from more blowback from a Middle East escalation or the imminent economic collapse once the rigged six ways from Sunday financial markets go into full withdrawal after the Federal Reserve stops providing the fix of cheap money and Quantitative Easing just remember one thing. It is thanks to Cheney and his power-mad ilk that Obama can now put the country under martial law with nothing more than a phone call. Just think of what was done in Boston a few months back where thousands of paramilitary police were sent forth and half the city shut down as a test run to chase down one pathetic loser of an amateur terrorist.
I would think that conservatives should be aghast at what Cheney wrought, it is the very essence of a “turnkey totalitarian’ system and he has put it into the hands of Obama’s rogue regime. Mr. Cheney may have been able to dupe an audience of loyalist that “The biggest threat facing us are terrorists armed with something more than plane tickets and box cutters” but that is just more of the same crap that we have been fed for twelve years now.
No Dick, the “biggest threat” is a run amok government steeped in secrecy and contempt for the U.S. Constitution in the hands of a power crazed man like Barack H. Obama and what you fail to acknowledge is that YOU were instrumental in setting up the system of oppression that he now has at his disposal.

Barry and the Boys Ready to Rumble in Syria


The ratcheting up of the war rhetoric by the cornered like rats Obama regime on Monday reached deafening levels. Obama is now on the run with a growing list of damning evidence that his drunk on power administration is using the IRS to go after political opposition, the NSA to spy on law abiding citizens and waging a war against the First Amendment rights to free speech and a free press. Obama allies have been frantically seeking to play the war card as an escape from scrutiny for this Nixonian rogue government that is steeped in arrogance and oozing paranoia from every pore and soon the bombs are about to start raining down on yet another foreign country. It is a sick indictment of this entire society that economically ruinous wars and a fascist bent towards an authoritarian police state are greeted with a collective shrug by the masses of the TV addled sheep. Each escalation abroad allows El Presidente to use his big government goons to further crack down on civil liberties in Der Homeland. An attack on Syria for a questionable and convenient ‘WMD’ attack last week would allow Emperor Barackus Obamus to wrap a garrote around the necks of Americans and give it a good hard twist.
Today newly minted Secretary of State and Skull and Bones member John Kerry was sent forth to spew his bombastic drivel on his boss’s behalf. Kerry delivered the chilling remarks that made it absolutely clear that war is coming:
Let me be clear: The indiscriminate slaughter of civilians, the killing of women and children and innocent bystanders by chemical weapons is a moral obscenity. By any standard, it is inexcusable and — despite the excuses and equivocations that some have manufactured — it is undeniable.
The elitist Massachusetts liberal, a multimillionaire who married into the Heinz ketchup family has learned to love war now that he is a privileged and pampered insider. This is the same John Kerry who built his political career on his self-promoting chicanery as an antiwar man of conscience. Kerry came home from Vietnam and allegedly threw his service medals over the White House fence, a story that is as disputed as the conduct that he shamelessly hyped to get them in the first place. Kerry is now as always a phony which puts him on an even level as Obama, were it not for one of the most ineptly run campaigns in history he might have won the 2004 election over the lamentable George W. Bush. He is a hypocrite and his morally obscene statements on the alleged Assad forces gassing civilians before a proper investigation has even been completed are a shining example of the corruption of power and the amoral, soul dead charlatans who end up with it in our now terminally doomed nation.
The alleged gassing of civilians on the outskirts of Damascus is indeed an atrocity it is truly sickening but the primary question that needs to be answered though is that who was it exactly that did the gassing? I would not believe a damned thing that is claimed by the U.S. backed rebels, a pack of religious fanatics and lunatics that include barbarians with a taste for human flesh and possible affiliations with Al Qaeda. We had two towers brought down in New York City twelve years ago and thousands of innocent Americans murdered because of the blowback created when the U.S. threw in with Islamist fanatics who then used their training to bring this country to it’s knees. The net result was a resounding win for the ‘terrorists’ because now this country has become an oppressive, fascist police state and there is no end in sight.
Obama and the British leader David Cameron (who is also reeling from political scandal involving his own spy agency) are in a rush to judgment, there is no time for a serious investigation which in and of itself reeks of horseshit given that the rebels had already been caught lying about chemical weapons to gain full U.S. support for their ongoing civil war. This like the other Middle East wars that used the September 11, 2001 tragedy as justification are truly none of our business. There are enough problems at home and they are rapidly getting worse, one more war and one that may rapidly escalate throughout the region is not in the best interests of Americans. Gas was up where I live by fifteen cents a gallon overnight thanks to  the imminent attack on Syria. It really  sucks that Barry is able to get away with this but when you have a population that would only become sufficiently roused to get off of their sofas and say no more were Dancing With the Stars to suddenly go off air it is what it is.
The downward spiral continues…

Mass Distraction: Obama and Cameron Prepare for War


So desperate are Barack Obama and his British counterpart David Cameron to distract any and all attention from their NSA/GCHQ global surveillance that both are ready to start a war in Syria. A war that will likely ignite the tinderbox that is the Middle East, allow both counties to crush dissent at home and ensure that we will spend the rest of our lives living in an oppressive world of total war and brutal big government crackdowns. The pretense for the coming conflagration will be the much hyped chemical weapons attack by Russian ally and Syrian dictator Bashar-al-Assad. An attack that still has not been proven to have been anything other than a false flag event staged by U.S. backed, Al Qaeda connected flesh eating militants. The usual war propagandists, from Maddow to McCain have been hyperventilating in a rush to judgement that will again suck the U.S. into yet another never-ending Middle Eastern disaster like a possum lured into a briar patch. The Pentagon and the National Surveillance State have already sent naval vessels into the region and it is only a matter of time until Barry and the boys are raining down bombs and lobbing cruise missiles into the country. All hell is going to then break loose as Syrian officials have rightfully pointed out that any U.S. intervention in the country’s civil war would be like “a ball of fire that will inflame the Middle East”.
I know that there are some who really want an escalation. Wall Street speculators are already drooling and chortling like rutting pigs over the prospect of massive spikes in oil prices and the resultant ripple effect that will have the degenerate gamblers driving up the costs of everything on the planet. Rising oil prices subsequently will result in higher food prices and even more global unrest, people just have a tendency to get pissed off and rebel when they are forced to watch their children starving.  The Pentagon and it’s related network of crony contractors will also win big as will the security industrial complex that arose like a poisonous mushroom out of the smoking rubble of the World Trade Center. The neocon fifth column also benefits in that their plans of regional destabilization, hatched years ago will still be on track despite Obama’s succession of Bush. With the U.S. government on the brink of default as GOP dead-enders in Congress threaten to default on the national debt (of course they along with their equally crooked colleagues across the aisle will ensure that there are no cuts in military and police state programs) the crushing jackboot of austerity will stifle an already phony economic recovery. Not that Obama and his minions care, he has already been exposed as a liar extraordinaire over his defense of the NSA Stasi, and the abuses that grow by the day. Most recently most recently that government goons are using these false ‘anti-terrorism tools’ to spy on former spouses. Obama continues to fib about these programs and as has been reported has already brought in his Chicago and Harvard crony Cass Sunstein to facilitate the coming whitewash.
While even a good amount of liberals long steeped in Utopian dreams are slowly being roused from their slumber to see that their Emperor is butt-naked. The scales may be falling from the eyes of millions of Obama supporters but it won’t stop the coming attack on Syria. Despite the ongoing exposure of Barry’s new term in office as an outwardly kinder and gentler fourth Bush term and the realization that the man has always been a liar and Teflon coated bullshit salesman far too many are dependent on the corrupt media for any sort of mass awakening. While the bulk of the American sheeple continue to be blissfully ignorant and busy consumers who get their McNews in bite-sized chunks from state media organs while they revel in celebrity, scandal and the upcoming NFL season those more inclined to be activists continue to be bamboozled. Those most able to present a challenge to the existing corrupt regime continue to be hoodwinked by lying liberals on phony liberal cable outlets that are really Democratic propaganda organs owned by defense industry corporations. I am of course referring to MSNBC, that increasingly wretched font of disinformation that should have hypocritical liberals ashamed of themselves (as if they capable of such a thing) for their hectoring of Fox News. While I try to stay away except when doing research as too much exposure at a time easily triggers my gag reflex I endured a portion of the Rachel Maddow Show earlier in the week as the DNC’s preeminent shill pushed for a war in Syria.
The Maddow program routinely trots out the “experts” such as Richard Engel, the same warfare state mouthpiece who only weeks ago was pushing the ludicrous tale of Al Qaeda militants withsurgically implanted bombs ala The Joker’s henchman in The Dark Knight.  This was the justification for Obama’s diversionary tactics of closing embassies to deflect attention from the NSA thugs. While it was a near vomit-inducing experience I subjected myself to watching the segment from the day that the poor gassed children were appearing on every state media propaganda outlet. During the show’s broadcast on Wednesday Engel was in rare form. This excerpt from the transcript was spewed out with a straight face while Maddow tut-tutted and even invoked the termWMD so as to put an exclamation point onto every shameless morsel of emotional pornography:
It seems to be a very important story, and we’ve spoken to doctors and members of the Syrian opposition who are in these affected areas and they have expressed no doubt whatsoever that something awful happened. They believe a chemical weapon attack, those death toll estimates they believe that they are in the higher end 1,000 plus.
But as you’ve been saying time and time again, we’re here in Cairo doing the best we can. The Syrian government does not allow independent access to these areas. They’re not allowing the U.N. weapons inspectors into these areas.
So, based on phone calls, witness accounts, videos we’re piecing together what seems to be an atrocity that took place.
Some of the video you showed, all those toddlers and infants lining up still, apparently dead, you can’t fake that. You can’t convince children to play dead for long periods of time.
There’s just some of the videos you are showing, these are the most sanitized because other videos are so disturbing that they’re not fit for broadcast. But we saw dozens and dozens of children limp, being carried in people’s arms.
In terms of sheer audacity it was right up there with Richard Nixon’s historically dishonest Checkers speech and on a par with the scene in the movie Used Cars where Tobey the dog is trained to play dead by a slimy salesmen in order to generate sympathy and guilt that would cause the prospective buyer to shell out money for an overpriced lemon that would fall apart the minute it was driven off the lot. But Engel, Maddow and the rest of the payrolled liars and charlatans wouldn’t have their gigs in the first place had they any semblance of morality. Just as in the past, as in the build up to the “Shock and Awe” bombing of Baghdad all of the state’s presstitutes are reading from the same centrally concocted script. It was announced recently the NBC has rewarded Engel with his own production unit, it will certainly be the current counterpart of The Lie Factory , a shadowy Pentagon office that churned out propaganda to support the Iraq war a decade ago.  When you have tales of dead children it is always simple to gin up support for war, look at what the story that Saddam’s soldiers were tearing Kuwaiti babies out of incubators in the run up to Gulf War I did? It was of course later revealed to be false but the bodies were already burning by then so it served the purpose of the establishment at the time.
And all the while the images of the dead cascaded across the telescreens to horrify Americans into lining up to salute Dear Leader and rally around the flag it was a textbook example of the systemic rot of our days of darkness and the downward spiral. As you can probably tell by now I generally have fairly libertarian leanings but I must admit that conservatives are right about the hypocrisy of the liberals. I generally try to tune this sort of stuff off but have a morbid fascination with just how easily that the bleeding heart types are played as schmucks and chumps by the self-serving charlatans who are their idols. There are still far too many who have been buffaloed into actually believing that Barry is some benevolent agent of change. An agent of the devil is more apropos as he is now presiding over the most radical presidency in history. Only not the most radical because he is some sort of communist, socialist, closet Kenyan or Muslim Manchurian candidate as Maddow and Engel’s equally dishonest counterparts would have some believe. No, he is a stone fascist and a war criminal who is stripping away more of American’s civil liberties by the minute, sanctioning the extraction of wealth from the U.S. by rapacious corporations to which offshoring of American jobs to low wage hellholes is like crack cocaine and redistributing wealth upwards to his bankster buddies. His savage henchman Eric Holder and his ruthless Justice Department and the NSA Stasi do the heavy lifting while he is able to float above it all and maintain the illusion that is necessary for the ongoing presidential reality television show.
But war is coming and it is coming soon, it won’t stop at Syria either as reports that Russia is considering a reinforcement of naval forces in the Mediterranean to counter the U.S. escalation. Obama is still royally pissed off over Putin’s granting of asylum to former government contractor Booz Allen turned whistleblower Edward Snowden and let’s hope that his poor governance isn’t accompanied by an itchy trigger finger. With a coming war based on a pack of lies that is about to go live already a recipe for disaster the presence of Russian naval ships turns an already bad situation into something far bigger.
WW III anyone?

The Fix is In: Cass Sunstein to Review Obama’s Stasi


The Obama administration, still dissembling about the true magnitude of big government’s domestic surveillance and data-mining programs has chosen to just whitewash it all. In a move that should surprise nobody who has been watching the shifty bastard, El Presidente is about to pack his promised NSA review board with cronies and insiders. While Obama couldn’t quite get away with letting the perjuring pimpernel James Clapper head his dog and pony show he is going to go one better. It has been reported that none other than longtime crony from back in the pre-Harvard Chicago days Cass Sunstein, a dangerous fascist ideologue will have a prime seat on Barry’s crackerjack team of ‘outsiders’ tasked with what promises to be an outrageously bogus fraud. It is like having the proverbial pack of wolves put in charge of guarding the hen house. Sunstein is the author of the manifesto on Conspiracy Theories that touted the infiltration of those groups that questioned shady government conduct – COINTELPRO anyone?
Joining Sunstein will be such prominent establishment hacks as former Clinton-Bush bureaucrat Richard Clarke, he of the “hair on fire” fame who brought down the house during the 9/11 Kean Commission hearings by proclaiming to Americans that “your government failed you”. Clarke managed to parlay his star making turn into a minor celebrity status as one of those ‘experts’ who is always in front of the cameras and appears on such gauche television shows as HBO’s Real Time With Bill Maher, the smarmy, religion bashing anti-Muslim bigot that liberals adore. Clarke should be an accomplished expert in government failure, I guess that is his ante money to get into this game. In addition to Sunstein and Clarke the Obama dream team will be filled out by former CIA placeholder Michael Morell and Peter Swire a White House insider who is being touted by the Washington Post as “a measured but critical voice of post 9/11 information-gathering practices”.  With a recommendation like that from the beltway’s preeminent megaphone the finely tuned horseshit detectors of those who actually care about any of this stuff in an existential sense are screeching. Hell, this is as legitimate as when virulent Kennedy hater Allen Dulles was placed on the Warren Commission.
I suppose that it could be worse, after all Obama did not appoint former DHS honcho Michael Certoff now of The Chertoff Group who used his insider influence to parlay the failed Christmas Day “underwear bomber” plot into big time mega bucks. Chertoff’s firm at the time was representing a security industrial complex company by the name of Rapiscan which was able to use the ridiculous and highly suspect ‘terrorist’ plan to sell hundreds of those wonderful naked full-body scanners to the TSA.  However Rapiscan was recently dumped by the TSA and government but not until after Chertoff  made his millions. Obama I suppose also deserves some ‘credit’ for not including authoritarian nutjob Michael Hayden to his NSA investigative crew. Former NSA top dog Hayden has been spending a lot of time in carrying water for Obama’s Stasi as of late and made the following ridiculous statement that shows that the phony war on terror has always been about a war on all of us:
“If and when our government grabs Edward Snowden, and brings him back here to the United States for trial, what does this group do?” said retired air force general Michael Hayden, who from 1999 to 2009 ran the NSA and then the CIA, referring to “nihilists, anarchists, activists, Lulzsec, Anonymous, twentysomethings who haven’t talked to the opposite sex in five or six years”.
“They may want to come after the US government, but frankly, you know, the dot-mil stuff is about the hardest target in the United States,” Hayden said, using a shorthand for US military networks. “So if they can’t create great harm to dot-mil, who are they going after? Who for them are the World Trade Centers? The World Trade Centers, as they were for al-Qaida.”
Complete and utter nonsense and yet it gets credibility and airtime which is indicative of a lying and on the dole state media. As I believe I previously mentioned Hayden reminds me of the nerdy, nondescript neighbor who one day is found to have the remains of dozens of missing children buried in his backyard  Incidentally Hayden is a member of guess who? – The Chertoff Group. There is one hell of a lot of coin to be made in keeping the American sheeple terrified, distracted and obedient while their own tax money is extracted to enslave them. Nice work if you can get it. So it’s just another day in the United States of Scared Shitless and the corporate-state media is fixated on poor doomed Bradley Manning’s gender issues. Chelsea Manning is as popular as Lady Gaga on the electronic crackpipe, too bad that none of the vile networks, papers, websites nor their paid shills gave a rat’s ass when “Chelsea” was tortured and dragged before a Stalinist style show trial for blowing the whistle on war crimes.
And today The Guardian has also just broken yet another new story on NSA rottenness in that the U.S government was using your money to subsidize tech corporations compliance costs. The British government can continue to send their goons into news organizations as though they were the finger men of V For Vendetta’s Norsefire party but it all continues to come out. I personally cannot wait until the day that the shoe drops that all of this surveillance has been being provided to the same big Wall Street racketeers who crashed the economy and then were bailed out by Barry and the Boys.
Perhaps it will finally be the day when we roll out the guillotines.

Will Obama Embark on the Road to Damascus?


The biggest news event of the day is that according to “activist” Syrian rebels that the Assad regime has used chemical weapons on hundreds of people including women and children. This will have the war freaks caterwauling at several octaves above their normal ear-splitting pitch as the U.S. now must escalate the already disastrous decade plus misadventure in the Middle East against the barbarous Assad. The one thing about our star-spangled fascist state’s easily swallowed national lie of American exceptionalism is that it continues the emergency state of surveillance, war on civil liberties and looting of the treasury that has perpetuated our now careening into overdrive downtrend. This will be sold to the masses as a gross human rights violation and the justification to send more American troops into battle to be maimed and to kill civilians in a foreign land where we have zero business of being in the first place. Both Bushes were able to rouse the rabble and get them saluting the flag in full-throated patriotic fervor over the demonic Saddam who gassed his own people, look for Barack Obama to do follow their examples. His conclave of corrupt apparatchik in the White House are already seeking the sameU.N. stamp of approval that it took for Bush to attack Iraq.
This crossing of his much ballyhooed “red line” will now allow for him to become a “war president” and to enjoy the bully pulpit from which he will send forth his NSA Stasi and Gestapo Justice Department to smash opponents of our state’s now eternal war. Just as Democratic president Woodrow Wilson did in the early days of Empire with his ruthless crackdown on anti-war dissidents during the waning days of World War I. It is no coincidence that Obama has been the most aggressive president since Wilson with his abuse of Wilson’s own Espionage Act of 1917 which has been used to devastate the free press in current times. As Orwell so aptly put it – Oceania has always been at war and it suited the government of his dystopian world of “1984” well. Now that Barry has become Big Brother his rogue cabal of cornered rats, thugs and scoundrels will heavy-handedly enforce their will and just as O’Brien sneered to Winston Smith the rule now is that “If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face – forever”.  There is no depth to which the swine will not descend to as they seek to protect the golden goose of their war machine, Military Keynesianism directed upwards to the top while the fiends at NSA HQ will make damned sure that there will never be a challenge to the existing order.
This alleged chemical weapons attack is highly  suspicious for a number of reasons, firstly the fortuitous timing in that a team of U.N. experts had just begun work onlooking for evidence of chemical weapon use in Syria after months of propaganda. Why the hell would the Assad government, which by most accounts is more than holding it’s own suddenly risk international condemnation and an inevitable escalation on the part of the U.S. and it’s western allies? In light of the rottenness that has enveloped this once great country it just seems staged, a claim that the Russian supporters of the Assad regime are already mumbling and rightfully so. It would not beyond the “rebels” with their Al Qaeda support and their cannibalistic tendencies to do such a thing were it to benefit their cause would it? Obama and his loathsome enforcer Eric Holder are still seething over being punked by Putin over the Snowden affair and their lackeys over at MSNBC, especially Tokyo Rachel Maddow have been sowing the seeds of a new Cold War of discontent. Liberals love the big state butchery associated with war as long as it can be justified by some bullshit humanitarian interventionist cause. The rumblings of a global crusade to make the world safe for gay marriage has already been floated as a trial balloon by the MSNBC shills, and liberals have the nerve to accuse Fox News of propagandizing?  I grew sick of the hypocrisy of the liberals who I knew who became apologists for Obama for things that they wanted Bush and Cheney strung up by their balls for and stopped associating with them. They will surely be cheering on their hero Obama as he looses the dogs of war on the Assad government.
The entire region is about to go up in flames soon which suits many, including the once disgraced but still influential neocons who concocted the Iraq war just fine. With the Egyptian junta continuing to slaughter all opposition in a U.S. sanctioned operation that the Obama administration still refuses to call a “coup” and now being issued a guarantee of financial backing by our ‘partners in peace’ over in Saudi Arabia there is a conflagration now coming. Incidentally, that would be the same Saudi Arabia from which fifteen of the nineteen September 11, 2001 hijackers came from and that tragic and horrifying event was effectively used by American fascists as their own Reichstag Fire which provided the justification for what the Gore Vidal sardonically called  ”perpetual war for perpetual peace” .
The U.S. deep state perfectly used those attacks from which to terrify Americans into submission and to  birth their fascist state, now it’s Saudi connections will ensure that the money into Cairo will provide plausible deniability to the U.S. Empire for the Suharto style purge of opposition forces. This once moral nation has one hell of a lot to answer for as far as it’s myriad of gross alliances with terrorist supporting regimes who regularly slaughter far more than the 1,300 who were allegedly gassed by Assad. Unfortunately it won’t have to  (at least in the short term) because the victors and their hired scribes and experts so often write the history. That is unless it comes to collapsed empires and this one is surely headed for a far worse date with historical infamy than Rome. Perhaps once the corruption, arrogance and hubris of those psychopaths who managed to become our leaders after the Second World War have finally gone a bridge too far and imploded the United States of America from within will historians who are yet unborn haul the rotten carcass of this empire of fear, loathing, greed, oppression, war and dumbness upon an autopsy table and carve out the truth. We then forever serve as an example of all that could have been done for the betterment of humanity and yet was lost thanks to sociopathic power-mad punks like Obama, his predecessors and the rest of their filthy ilk.
The Obama regime will wash away their sins in the rivers of bloodshed from their coming wars, like lepers frolicking in the waters at Lourdes.
That’s just the way we roll in this place.
