Obama Brings Down the House at Annual D.C. Press Suckathon

Perhaps the most disgusting aspect of the dismal state of the mainstream media and it’s sucking up to power is the annual White House Correspondent’s Dinner. The event provides the opportunity for the sitting US President to play comedian. He struts to the podium and delivers one-liners and perorms silly gimmicks to the delight of a gaggle of adoring, self-important media hacks whose invitation to the party is one of the key perks of being a government conduit for misinformation. Scoring an invite is the crown jewel for those covering the D.C. circle jerk and serves as a pat on the back from a corrupt regime for a job well done .

It is a garish and sickening celebration of Washington's own pompous self-worship and a pox upon what was once a democracy where power was checked by a diligent and critical press carrying out their duties as set forth in the First Amendment. Now it is only a festival of scumbaggery for political con artists and those that can only be described as presstitutes for their selling out of journalistic responsibilities in order to suckle power for the sake of career advancement.

The giant sucking sound from the royal city is reported on by The Guardian in the story entitled “Barack Obama lands the zingers at White House correspondents' dinner” from which I excerpt:

The president, Barack Obama, says he’s bringing a new attitude to the final quarter of his presidency: bucket!

“After the midterm elections, my advisers asked me, ‘Mr President, do you have a bucket list?’” he told those attending the annual dinner of the White House Correspondents’ Association. “And I said, well, I have something that rhymes with bucket list ...”

“Take executive action on immigration? Bucket! New regulations? Bucket!”

The correspondents’ association dinner is the night the president does standup comedy to raise money for scholarships for young journalists – and provides tongue-in-cheek payback for those already on the job as well as political opponents. A few of the presidential zingers tossed out Saturday night:

“Just this week Michele Bachmann actually predicted that I would bring about the biblical end of days. Now, that’s a legacy.”

“I have one friend ... just a few weeks ago she was making millions of dollars a year, and she’s now living out of a van in Iowa.” That was a crack about Hillary Rodham Clinton, who campaigned in Iowa in a van nicknamed Scooby.

Noting that Saturday Night Live cast member Cecily Strong impersonates CNN anchor Brooke Baldwin, Obama said that’s surprising. “Usually the only people impersonating journalists on CNN are journalists on CNN.”

On the TV series “Black-ish,” Obama said he had to give ABC fair warning. “Being black-ish only makes you popular for so long. Trust me, there’s a shelf life to that thing.”

“The polar vortex caused so many record lows they renamed it MSNBC.”

“Donald Trump is here – still.”

And they all roared with laughter, swilled champagne and marveled at themselves in all of their orgasmic resplendence. As for El Presidente, it was beneath the dignity of the office but so has everything else that Mr. Obama has touched since he took up residence at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW to live high off of the hog on the taxpayer dole. I'll give Obama credit for his jabs at CNN and MSNBC but the rest of it was bad enough to have anyone with any sense decency scrambling for a vomit bag.

When the carcass of this once proud and free country is eventually hauled upon the autopsy table by future historians, the cause of death will be found to have been in large part due to the abject failure by the media to speak the truth. There is a reason why the federal government and those who hold the levers of power despise the internet and that is because the truth can be found and that truth shows that our “leaders” in the political elite are nothing more than gangsters who operate their rackets with the media having their backs.

The fawning ass-kissers present at Saturday night’s soiree will wake up from their hangovers on Sunday morning and bask in the glorious narcissism of the entitled for they will have earned their keep as professional liars who disseminate government propaganda. They wouldn’t dare stray from their official roles as lapdogs lest they not be invited back to the party next year.

Obama Works to Cram Cybersecurity Bill Down the Throats of Americans

The sly devil that is Emperor Barack Obama has drawn criticism over his proposed $4 trillion budget that has more shit in it than a Chinese manufactured sausage. While establishment Republicans thump their chests and wail about tax hikes on the wealthy and liberals laud his denouncing of  more “mindless austerity” the thing is a Trojan horse containing something much more odious. As has already been predicted by many who are onto the big con game, Dear Leader’s budget also includes within it the funding for even more of the Big Brother type of warrantless government snooping that Americans have been subjected to under Obama’s NSA Stasi.

While the Obama budget may please many by hitting corporations that squirrel away their profits overseas – which doesn’t benefit America – it delivers by providing immunity to companies that work hand in hand with the government on mass surveillance. As Reuters reports in the story “Obama seeks $14 billion to boost U.S. cybersecurity defenses”:

President Barack Obama's budget proposal for the 2016 fiscal year seeks $14 billion (9 billion pounds) for cybersecurity efforts across the U.S. government to better protect federal and private networks from hacking threats.
Federal cybersecurity funding has steadily increased in recent years, reflecting the intensity of threats U.S. companies and government agencies are facing from cyber intruders, both domestic and foreign.

The budget, released on Monday, calls for deployment of more intrusion detection and prevention capabilities, greater sharing of data with the private sector and other countries and more funding to beef up the government's ability to respond to attacks.

The funding would support several specific programs, such as monitoring and diagnostics of federal computer networks, the EINSTEIN intrusion detection and prevention system and government-wide testing and incident-response training.

"Cyber threats targeting the private sector, critical infrastructure and the federal government demonstrate that no sector, network or system is immune to infiltration by those seeking to steal commercial or government secrets and property or perpetrate malicious and disruptive activity," the White House summary said.

The cynics among us have questioned whether all of the ruckus over alleged North Korean involvement in the Sony hacking was just another big lie to get the cybersecurity bill passed. While Americans have very short memories and even shorter attention spans these days, it was only in December that the media was shrilly warning of alleged “terrorist” threats against theaters showing the movie The Interview. The threats were never substantiated and independent cybersecurity experts have questioned government claims that North Korea was responsible but the movie became a holiday patriotic rallying cry. Ironically, doper and liberal Seth Rogen, the star of The Interview who sang the praises of freedom for Americans to go and see his film is the same guy who was denounced by conservatives when he compared the movie American Sniper to Nazi propaganda.

Don’t expect any resistance from Republicans either because Barry has broken out the fear club and is going to beat them into submission with it. It is also being reported that Obama is going the full Göring by accusing the GOP of putting the American people in danger. According to the Reuters story “Obama proposes $3.99 trillion budget, draws scorn from Republicans”:

"I know there are Republicans who disagree with my approach. And I’ve said this before: If they have other ideas for how we can keep America safe, grow our economy, while helping middle-class families feel some sense of economic security, I welcome their ideas," Obama said.
"But their numbers have to add up. And what we can’t do is play politics with folks’ economic security, or with our national security."

Obama’s push for the new cybersecurity measures should chill Americans in that it is just the latest and greatest reincarnation of the zombie bill CISPA which has drawn opposition from civil liberties groups. In the climate of fear and dread that is early 2015 after the media overkill over the Sony hacking and then the Charlie Hebdo slayings look for Obama to continue to accuse opponents of exposing Americans to danger. So much for that election year threat to partially defund the Department of Homeland Security to stop Obama’s amnesty decree.

Fascism is the merger of state and corporate power and we are well on our way there already. If Obama is able to successfully sell Americans on sweeping new surveillance capabilities along with the corporate immunity from oversight that his cybersecurity proposals provide then we will be even closer to it.

Shadow of Crisis Passes But Smell of Bullshit Remains

Emperor Barack Obama’s much anticipated State of the Union address last night was a pure masterpiece of pomp and bullshit and likely hit all the right notes with millions of gullible Americans. There was the triumphant heralding that the “shadow of crisis has passed” and the economy is once again the greatest on the planet. I suppose that this is somewhat true if your indicators are a stock market that is at record levels thanks to having been backstopped by the Federal Reserve and the government since 2009. All that Obama and his dynamic duo of Fed bosses “Helicopter” Ben Bernanke and Janet Yellen have done is inflated the largest stock bubble in history and as all bubbles are prone to do it will eventually pop. However, it  probably will not do so until Obama is well into a lavish, taxpayer subsidized retirement of posh country club living and perpetual golfing.

Barry sold the miracles of Ponzi economics hard last night and he reinforced the fear of “terrorism” that allows the for surveillance state and the shearing of the sheep to continue. Mixed in with selling the economic miracle snake oil was a generous smattering of platitudes and even the exploitation of a military veteran who lost limbs if only to peddle administration policies. Some of the more outlandish pieces of the Obama’s speech were:

His pushing for higher taxes on the wealthy which has zero chance of ever becoming reality given that his party is outnumbered. The silly-assed liberals must have been taken to orgasm though and it probably never occurred to them that they had been conned yet again. Had Obama wanted to sock it to the rich he could have easily done so back when the Dems controlled both houses of Congress in 2009 after the Wall Street gamblers crashed the economy.

His sleazy exploitation of Minneapolis couple Rebekah and Ben Erler who were “young and in love in America” but ran into economic hardship thanks in part to his regime’s bankster bailouts was epic. While the couple are examples of having finally overcome adversity and gotten better jobs they better not get too settled in thanks to Obama’s amnesty to millions of illegals that will drive their wages down again.

El Presidente practically threw out a rotator cuff patting himself on the back over the recent collapse in oil prices that have finally resulted in a respite from the fleecing at the pump. Obama’s Democrats including former economic commissar Lawrence Summers are already working overtime to find a way to offset any temporary savings with new carbon/gas taxes. When the market is no longer experiencing a glut - thanks largely to Saudi Arabia’s refusal to cut production - and prices go back to $4 per gallon there will be an additonal $2 or so in taxes that will provide a sucker punch in the solar plexus for consumers.

He pushed for a Fourth Amendment destroying cybersecurity bill as well as an American job killing trade pact - the ultra secretive Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) - that will make NAFTA look like the freaking New Deal. Don't forget that Ross Perot warned of that "giant sucking sound" back when there was still time to avert the offshoring of tens of millions of well paying jobs. The biggest problem with this is that he has bipartisan support from the entrenched, ruling elite in Congress.

There is not enough space to list all of the rest of the stuff wrong with the Emperor’s audacious grandstanding here but it will provide fodder for the pundits and his political foes for months. John Boehner and Mitch McConnell really missed the chance when they took impeachment off of the table along with any chance to rid us of the slimy bastard early before he finishes the job of destroying the country.

But nothing in the speech insulted the intelligence or dignity of Americans in the quite manner in which Barry extended a big middle finger to the new Republican dominated Congress. Obama punctuated his epic dispersal of manure and hogwash with several digs at the GOP. Despite the electoral bludgeoning inflicted upon his party in the November elections, Mr. Obama carried himself like a very satisfied and triumphant man. If he was determined to use the forum as a nationally televised opportunity to float the proverbial turd in the Republican’s victory punchbowl he was successful. It brought to mind something that notoriously vulgar poet Charles Bukowski,  tabbed by Time Magazine as the “laureate of American lowlife” once wrote:

"There was nothing really as glorious as a good beer shit—I mean after drinking twenty or twenty-five beers the night before. The odor of a beer shit like that spread all around and stayed for a good hour-and-a-half, It made you realize that you were really alive.”

The reference to the heavy drinking is a good fit for a “pickled liver” lush like Boehner as he was left in the cloud of the wretched stench that hung in the air after Obama swaggered from their exalted chamber borne upon the wings of media adoration. Boehner, McConnell and the remainder of the putrid GOP “leadership” who  just had themselves reelected to their gigs were left to bask in the aroma and honestly, they deserved it. There was really no doubt remaining over exactly what Mr. Obama really thinks of them. This also goes for the rest of the schmucks in America who were just subjected to that disgusting orgy of lies and cynical political demagoguery that he belched forth.

Obama Pimps Cybersecurity Bill and Further Gutting of the Constitution

Despite his enduring historic infamy at least Adolf Hitler was somewhat upfront with the Germans as he sowed the seeds of the destruction of their country. This is not the case with Emperor Barack Obama, a peerless con artist and snake oil salesman with as much an aversion to the truth as he has contempt for the Constitution. Obama was always hailed as a Constitutional law professor by the flacks, shills and propagandists who sold the schmucks on hope and change and his Harvard pedigree would seem to back that. However, given the ongoing dismantling of our no longer quite so free country it isn’t that much of a reach to consider that his expertise was sought for a reason. That reason being that he knows the weak points and blind spots to attack in order to complete the job of undermining a once vibrant democracy and is vigorously doing so.

In a story that will thrill the fascists in the government who have declared total war on the American people since 9/11, Dear Leader is now hard at work pushing the latest assault on privacy rights. As Reuters reports in a story entitled “Obama turns focus to Internet security, privacy”:

President Barack Obama will highlight plans next week to protect American consumers and businesses from cyber threats, a month after the most high-profile hacking attack on a U.S. company.

Internet security became a national focus after a cyberattack on Sony Pictures that Washington blamed on North Korea. The attack and subsequent threats of violence against theaters prompted Sony to scale back its release of "The Interview", a comedy film that depicts the fictional assassination of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un.

A White House official said on Saturday Obama would announce legislative proposals and executive actions that will be part of his Jan. 20 State of the Union address and will tackle identity theft and privacy issues, cybersecurity and broadband access.

On Monday, Obama will present plans "to improve confidence in technology by tackling identity theft and improving consumer and student privacy" in a visit to the Federal Trade Commission, the official said, on condition of anonymity.

Obama will host members of Congress from both parties on Tuesday to discuss common goals for the economy and national security, the official said, as the Democratic president prepares a speech that will be his first to the U.S. Congress since Republicans won the Senate in November elections.

This coincides with the reintroduction of the 4th Amendment destroying CISPA (Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act) by Democrat Dutch Ruppersberger of Ft. Meade, MD last week. Despite the stunning revelations of the mass surveillance of Americans by the NSA Stasi, the feds, the whores in Congress and the trillion dollar surveillance state Gomorrah that keeps them elected are more determined than ever to invade the privacy of Americans. There will sadly be no resistance from a fearful and dumbed down public – there never is anymore.

There was no way that the United States of America would ever be conquered by a foreign force despite the horseshit that is always preached by the charlatans in order to keep the cash cow that is the Global War on Terror (GWOT) alive. The only way that America was ever going to fall was from within and the termites within the bureaucracy of the federal government - led by Obama - continue to chew away at the pillars.

Scorned Narcissist Obama Smacks North Korea With Sanctions Over Being Called a Monkey

Despite mounting doubts that North Korea was actually behind the Sony hacking and bogus “terrorist” threats over the movie “The Interview”, Emperor Barack Obama today whipped out a new round of sanctions against the “Hermit Kingdom”. With the news rolled out to much pomp and circumstance, Obama  took a break from his endless taxpayer funded golf vacation in Hawaii to announce yet another executive order to circumvent Congress. Hell hath no fury like that of a narcissist scorned and while the presstitutes in the corrupt media eagerly regurgitate every Obama lie to the masses of asses it is obvious that the sanctions are revenge for being called out as a “monkey in a tropical forest” last week.

As reported by Reuters in a story entitled “U.S. slaps more sanctions on North Korea after Sony hack”:

North Korea was hit with more sanctions on Friday designed to impede access to the U.S. financial system in the wake of a cyberattack on Sony Pictures Entertainment, which the Obama Administration has said was supported by the reclusive country.

The U.S. government named three entities, including North Korea's military intelligence agency, and sanctioned 10 people with links to weapons sales and proliferation.

Financial sanctions have been effective in bringing pressure on Iran and Russia, but they have had limited impact on North Korea, which has been sanctioned by the United States for more than 50 years.

“It’s not as if they travel a lot abroad to western Europe or the United States ... They don’t have billions of dollars in western banks,” said Joel Wit of 38North, part of the U.S. Korea Institute at Johns Hopkins University in Washington.

Pyongyang has denied involvement in the cyberattack. Washington said there was no evidence that any of the three entities or the individuals were linked to it.

Treasury Secretary Jacob J. Lew said in a statement that Washington had a "commitment to hold North Korea accountable for its destructive and destabilizing conduct."

Lew said that even as a probe by the FBI continued "these steps underscore that we will employ a broad set of tools to defend U.S. businesses and citizens, and to respond to attempts to undermine our values or threaten the national security of the United States."

Just another truckload of freshly processed manure as Americans can always expect from this most dishonest and corrupt administration. Regarding that “destructive and destabilizing conduct” line from Timothy “Turbotax” Geithner’s replacement it is inconceivable that there is anything even remotely as “destructive” and “destabilizing” as Obama’s insane foreign policy. That would however mean that this loathsome administration actually has a foreign policy but with the endless series of shifting rationale, frayed alliances, crossed red lines and liberal intervention that has no rhyme or reason they might as well be randomly picking things out of a hat.

But when your foreign policy team is headed up by a nattering nincompoop with an incurable case of diarrhea of the mouth in Secretary of State John “Skull and Bones” Kerry an incoherent mess is what can be expected. Toss in the triad of  batshit crazy bitches Susan “Benghazi” Rice, Samantha “Mrs. Cass Sunstein” Power and Victoria “Fuck the EU”Nuland and it is no wonder that the U.S. has lost so much global prestige. Oh, and let us not forget Vice President Joe “Foghorn Leghorn” Biden - whose top foreign policy action item seemed to be scoring that job at the largest gas producer in Ukraine for his cokehead son - and it is one hell of a dream team that Mr. Obama has assembled.

The sanctions will amount to nothing more than a bit of balm to salve the wound upon poor Barry’s ego for being so rudley mocked as a “monkey” by the North Koreans. Sanctions have amounted to nothing with Iran or Russia with the exception of being something to boast about at White House cocktail parties and beltway functions for power sucklers, egomaniacs and sycophants. They won’t hurt North Korea either because it is already an isolated, ass-backwards hellhole in which things could only be made worse for the people who live there  if Kim Jong Un was replaced by Barack Hussein Obama.

Toro! Toro! Obama Waves Red Flag at GOP Bullshitters

In a matter of hours Emperor Barack Obama is slated to give his big speech on immigration “reform” to a less than national television audience. The major networks - with more than enough mind-numbing reality show bullshit of their own - will decline to air his stemwinder. But Americans can be reassured that the 24/7 electronic sewer of cable TV will be all over it like gravy on rice. I can only imagine the near masturbatory ecstasy that will occur on the set of the Democratic party propaganda network MSNBC as El Presidente grants amnesty to millions of illegal aliens who will be allowed to skirt the official procedures. Hell, you would think that they were Wall Street bankers or something. This may not be politically correct and it may be insensitive to the plight of many affected but corporate American desperately needs this in order to keep wages depressed due to job scarcity and Mr. Obama is once again doing their bidding as the top bagman in the USA! USA! USA!. Those trapped in the middle are just pawns in the big game of "fuck you I got mine" that is Corporate Monopoly. 

Tonight is the night that Obama is going to take out that "red flag" and wave it at the bullshitter that is newly crowned Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell who talks a good game but never backs it up with action. It was good ole Mitch who led the recent effort to scare the crap out of Americans with threats of ISIS beheadings on every street corner to torpedo reforms to Obama’s NSA Stasi. McConnell likely got a nice pat on the back from dear leader for that one and the two are colluding on the job killing, ultra-secret Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) globalist trade deal as well. So the new Republican majority will be subjected to it’s first test as Obama extends his big middle finger and tells them all to eat shit wrapped in a tortilla shell.

At least there is the flamboyant Senator Ted Cruz (the Texas Zamboni) who is on Obama’s ass like an ICE enforcement squad after a pack of Guatemalan ten year olds. Cruz is garnering big time media attention today with his virtual declaration of war on the executive order machine in chief. According to a snarky story from the Washington Post entitled “Ted Cruz goes Peak Senate in opposition to Emperor Obama” the potential 2016 contender invoked the Roman Emperor Cicero in delivering a broadside to Obama:

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.) thrives on drama. He has a flair for hyperbole and a penchant for wrapping mundane aspects of policy-making in the costumes of the American Revolution or classical literature.

And so, with President Obama expected to announce a series of actions on immigration Thursday night, and with Cruz having long sought to frame Obama as being imperial, Cruz took to the floor of the Senate to deliver a speech worthy of the great Roman orator Cicero to criticize Obama's behavior.

And when we say "worthy of Cicero," it is meant literally. Cruz actually took a speech from Cicero from 63 B.C., changed references to murder and revolution into ones about the IRS and the Constitution, and hammed his way through.

You have to give Cruz one thing, he makes this entire stupid political circus worth watching as America circles the drain just as Rome did. I don’t know about Cicero but Obama could certainly pass for Caligula or better yet a modern version of Nero who plays golf as the country burns. So far McConnell is doing his best imitation of the invisible man and that is not the leadership that GOP pundits claim that Americans voted for two weeks ago. This is of course a lie because the real thing that did in the Democrats was their own complicity in the ongoing destruction of this once great country. Americans may be stupid as well as lazy but they may have been inclined to turn out to vote had the Democrats actually stood for anything outside of Republican Lite. 

Cruz has a set of solid brass cajones and will be putting the wood to Barry for months to come. But at some point it will become the undercard as Obama becomes less interested in lording it over America and eyes his lifetime of hitting the links at luxury courses worldwide on the taxpayer dole. The real steel cage death match will come when he takes on Queen Hillary the Inevitable which will be like Godzilla versus Megalon and will almost be worth paying to watch. Cruz may be a grandstanding douchebag but is he really that much worse than anyone that the Democrats have to offer?

Like it really matters which fucking party is in power anymore so just enjoy the show that is being broadcast to the schmucks in steerage as the USS Collapse steams towards the iceberg. 

Obama Justice Department Scooping Up American Cellphone Data

One nation under surveillance could fittingly be the new motto of the United States circa 2014. Not only have numerous revelations over the past year and a half revealed the stunning degree to which the NSA has been spying on law-abiding Americans – all ostensibly to “keep us safe” but there has been much bleeding over into other big government agencies as well. Americans who surrendered their civil liberties with nary a whimper after the 9/11 attacks should be shocked at how the government has gone on to use those acts of terrorism as an excuse to expand its own powers exponentially.

The latest outrage comes courtesy of a story reported by The Wall Street Journal entitled “Americans’ Cellphones Targeted in Secret U.S. Spy Program” . The piece details how the Department of Justice is gathering up data from the mobile phones of Americans using small airplanes equipped with special equipment. This is the same D.O.J. that has been presided over for the past six years by Barack Obama’s ruthless henchman Eric Holder and has set new standards in the abuse of state power. I except the following from the WSJ piece:

The Justice Department is scooping up data from thousands of mobile phones through devices deployed on airplanes that mimic cellphone towers, a high-tech hunt for criminal suspects that is snagging a large number of innocent Americans, according to people familiar with the operations.

The U.S. Marshals Service program, which became fully functional around 2007, operates Cessna aircraft from at least five metropolitan-area airports, with a flying range covering most of the U.S. population, according to people familiar with the program.

Planes are equipped with devices—some known as “dirtboxes” to law-enforcement officials because of the initials of the Boeing Co. unit that produces them—which mimic cell towers of large telecommunications firms and trick cellphones into reporting their unique registration information.

The technology in the two-foot-square device enables investigators to scoop data from tens of thousands of cellphones in a single flight, collecting their identifying information and general location, these people said.

People with knowledge of the program wouldn’t discuss the frequency or duration of such flights, but said they take place on a regular basis.

A Justice Department official would neither confirm nor deny the existence of such a program. The official said discussion of such matters would allow criminal suspects or foreign powers to determine U.S. surveillance capabilities. Justice Department agencies comply with federal law, including by seeking court approval, the official said.

The program is yet another gross violation of the U.S. Constitution in that it like those utilized by the NSA Stasi is effectively conducting warrantless searches. The Fourth Amendment very clearly states that:

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

An army of legal weasels within the government has been furiously working for years to decouple the government from the Constitution and the American bedrock principles espoused within it and have had a stunning degree of success.  The Founding Fathers certainly could never have envisioned the dystopian nightmare of the high-tech surveillance state is it exists today but they understood the nature of kings and despots and based their document on solid defenses of individuals from their abuses of power. Whether it be King George’s redcoats ransacking homes in door to door searches or Eric Holder’s Justice Department flying surveillance planes over their homes in the 21^st century it is one and the same.

The greatest problem that we face today – an existential crisis – is how much is enough power to vest in an increasingly out of control and unaccountable government. While it is the responsibility of that government to keep Americans safe it will matter nothing if the Constitution has been gutted for we will then live in a totalitarian society.

We are well on the way there now unless a very serious intervention is undertaken and done soon.

Orwell 101: Obama Downplays Ebola as Elections Loom

War is peace, freedom is slavery, ignorance is strength and 2+2=5. Those all come from George Orwell’s enduring classic novel of a totalitarian dystopia "1984" but could easily be adapted for Obama’s America in 2014.  A critical component of Orwell’s book is the perversion of language and the triumph of the lies of the state in enhancing its own power. It is called “newspeak” and is an indispensable item in big toolbox of the American political establishment. The government now lies as a first resort, no longer even bothering with the truth. The corrupt state media – long in bed with the Obama regime – then reinforces the lies and the system continues to rot as Americans get the shaft over and over again. El Presidente, with the clock ticking down towards the November elections did Orwell proud during his Saturday morning weekly presidential radio address.

President Ebola’s message to the nation is described by the Washington Post in a piece entitled “Obama: ‘We can’t give in to hysteria or fear’ of Ebola” from which I excerpt the following:

President Obama on Saturday sought to tamp down fears of an Ebola outbreak and defend his administration from Republican critics who have called for a more aggressive response to the disease, including sealing off U.S. borders to visitors from countries battling widespread outbreaks.

“We can’t just cut ourselves off from West Africa, where this disease is raging,” Obama said in his weekly radio address. “Trying to seal off an entire region of the world — if that were even possible — could actually make the situation worse.”

Such actions would make it harder for American health-care workers, soldiers and supplies to reach stricken areas and could prompt residents of countries in West Africa where Ebola is still spreading to try to evade screening on their way to the United States or Europe, Obama said.

The president’s main message was one of calm, coming at a time of growing worry in communities throughout the country. “We can’t give in to hysteria or fear, because that only makes it harder to get people the accurate information they need,” Obama said. “If we’re guided by science — the facts, not fear — then I am absolutely confident we can prevent a serious outbreak here in the United States.”

Just ‘trust me’ is the message from Obama and how many times have Americans heard that one before only to be hornswoggled?  Travel restrictions are off the table and would only "make the situation worse". There is more than a whiff of 2+2=5 in that sort of batshit crazy type of reasoning.  Had travel restrictions been imposed on flights from the Ebola hotbed in Africa to begin with and had Barry’s incompetent lackeys not downplayed the danger of bringing Ebola victims to America the virus would still be alien to the U.S.A. Ironically, this could not have happened at a worse time for Obama with another electoral "shellacking" looming and now the Democrat propaganda machine is frantically flying into action.

The cesspool of keening, orange bellied liberal cyber-swine, Daily Kos had Obama’s back in a post “Obama explains Ebola to the fear-based, freaked-out public in weekly address” and a coordinated effort is now in the works. The most critical aspect of the domestic Ebola outbreak now is how to best control the message in the waning days before the elections.  Democratic party operatives are already attacking Republicans as racists responsible for spreading an Ebola panic in order to score political points but that is just total crap. Not that the Republicans aren't racists - they are - but the Dems are equally rotten with selectively playing the race card whenever it suits their political needs.  There are even smears being peddled to attack libertarians such as Rand Paul as being an “Ebola truther” to stifle criticism of Obama. The desperation from the red jackass party is intense and growing by the minute. Any downplaying of the threat of the virus is all sleazy politics to keep the Senate under Harry Reid’s corrupt leadership and the dogs of impeachment at bay.

This is why Sunday morning’s propaganda circuit features Dr. Anthony Fauci, Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases on all five major networks to assure the sheep that all is under control. The elections were likely a key concern in Obama’s appointment of longtime Democrat political hack, Ron Klain as Ebola czar despite the inconvenient truth that he has no medical background. It’s all about keeping the lid on things until after November 4^th and avoiding the loss of the Senate. If Ebola is going to go national, it just needs to wait until after the votes have been cast. That's the way that the administration sees it.

So don’t worry, be happy and vote for a Democrat.

Orwell was an optimist.

Atlanta Airport Protester: The CDC is Lying

As America continues to react to the news about the first domestic victim of the Ebola virus the professional damage control teams are scrambling to avoid a mass panic. The infected, a man from Liberia named Thomas Eric Duncan who was visiting his girlfriend in Dallas when he fell ill was initially sent home by a local hospital allowing him to spend days where he could have spread the virus. This could be big trouble in the U.S.A. especially when considering that children who were exposed to Duncan went to school where they were in contact with hundreds of other kids.

When you live in a country where lies and government propaganda have reduced the credibility of the establishment to pretty much zero - unless you happen to be a gullible fool - it is naive and silly to expect that our rulers would suddenly begin telling the truth. This is particularly so with the potential for the spread of the Ebola virus and the very serious economic damage that cold result were there to be a widespread outbreak. So the government does what it does best, it goes into spin mode, tries to manage the reaction and according to one story buys 160,000 HazMat suits.

In a protest for these dire times a doctor showed up at Atlanta's international airport, a major transportation hub in a protective suit to spread awareness about government disinformation over Ebola. According to a story from the website of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution entitled "Doctor dons Ebola protection suit to protest ‘asleep at the wheel’ CDC":

Two days after a man in Texas was diagnosed with Ebola, a Missouri doctor Thursday morning showed up at Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport dressed in protective gear to protest what he called mismanagement of the crisis by the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Dr. Gil Mobley checked in and cleared airport security wearing a mask, goggles, gloves, boots and a hooded white jumpsuit emblazoned on the back with the words, “CDC is lying!”

“If they’re not lying, they are grossly incompetent,” said Mobley, a microbiologist and emergency trauma physician from Springfield, Mo.

Mobley said the CDC is “sugar-coating” the risk of the virus spreading in the United States.

Efforts to reach a CDC spokesperson for comments on Mobley’s criticism have been unsuccessful.

For them to say last week that the likelihood of importing an Ebola case was extremely small was a real bad call,” he said.

“Once this disease consumes every third world country, as surely it will, because they lack the same basic infrastructure as Sierra Leone and Liberia, at that point, we will be importing clusters of Ebola on a daily basis,” Mobley predicted. “That will overwhelm any advanced country’s ability to contain the clusters in isolation and quarantine. That spells bad news.”

Mobley, a Medical College of Georgia graduate who had an overnight layover after flying to Atlanta from Guatemala on Wednesday, said that he feels that the CDC is “asleep at the wheel” when it comes to screening passengers arriving in the United States from other countries.

“Yesterday, I came through international customs at the Atlanta airport,” the doctor told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. “The only question they asked arriving passengers is if they had tobacco or alcohol.”

That Dr. Mobley was able to pass through security wearing a protective suit is not only astonishing given the Soviet Bloc style checkpoints that travelers are subjected to but also an indictment of the incompetence of the TSA.  While the government goons are busily feeling up small children and making elderly women take off their medical diapers, a man whose inspiration may have been the movie Twelve Monkeys is able to go about his business unmolested.

Is there any wonder why faith in government competence is at an all time low?

TSA Gestapo Issues Warning on Phony Obama Terror Group Khorasan

The top dog of America's airport Gestapo forces, the Transportation Security Agency (TSA) has issued a bogeyman alert over the phony "terrorist" group Khorasan. Never mind that the existence of the crazier than ISIS (ISIL, IS) Muslim marauders has already been debunked as more political trickery by Obama to scare the bejesus out of Americans. The government is still selling Khorosan past it's expiration date in order to capitalize on America's first workplace beheading and the possibility that old men with cane swords may be lurking in the aisle seats.

According to The Hill in a story entitled "TSA chief: Khorasan a threat to US flights":

Transportation Security Administration chief John Pistole said Friday that the Khorasan Group, an al Qaeda cell in northern Syrian, represented "a clear and present danger" to commercial flights to Europe and the United States.

"The stakes are real and the threats are high," Pistole told to members of the Aero Club, an organization that promotes the aviation industry, at a luncheon. "I see the Khorasan Group as being a very capable, determined enemy who was very much focused on getting somebody or something on a plane bound for Europe or the United States."

With about 275 airports worldwide with direct flights to the U.S., heightened security measures are being implemented at "a couple dozen" airports in Europe, the Middle East and North Africa, targeting those that might be used by a terrorist to fly to the U.S, he said.

The top aviation security noted that U.S. airstrikes this week against the militant group were intended to disrupt an "imminent attack or attack entering the last phases of execution."

That horseshit all worked very well ten years ago but with the rise in social media bogus terror threats are pretty easily shot down these days. Maybe the Obama regime can bring back the color-coded terror alert charts that became such an embarrassment that they were mothballed. It is very important to put fear into the sheeple right now because the Democrats are terrified that they are going to lose the Senate and Barry has to be horrified over the very real prospect of a deserved impeachment and ouster from the White House.

"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed -- and hence clamorous to be led to safety -- by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary."

- H.L. Mencken

But El Presidente continues his fear-mongering just in time for Halloween. In an epic nationally televised infomercial Obama showed up on CBS's flagship 60 Minutes last night. I am old enough to actually remember when 60 Minutes was a real news program instead of the zombie incarnation of the current era where it has become a ratings obsessed venue for government lies and celebrity swill. I excerpt from the transcript of Obama's interview (bracketed dialogue is mine]:

Steve Kroft: A lot of things going on in the world right now. A lot of them bad. You run into people on the street and they say the world is falling apart. You got Syria. You've got Iraq. You've got Ukraine. You've got Ebola. Is this the most difficult period of your presidency, the biggest challenge of your presidency, this period we're in right now?

[Translation: Nice job of fucking everything up O-bozo - how did that team of rivals thing work out for you?]

President Obama: It's a significant period. But if you think about what I walked into when I came into office, we had not only two wars still active, but we also had a world financial system, that was becoming unraveling. And we were losing 800,000 jobs a month. So you know, we've had challenges before, and we've overcome them. That's not to downplay the serious challenges that we do face right now, mostly internationally.

[Groan... there he goes blaming Bush again. Listen buddy, you own this mess now so stop whining. Who would have ever thought that the Bushreich would one day be looked back upon wistfully?] 

"This is not America against ISIL. This is America leading the international community to assist a country..."

[The "international community" including the predominant sponsors of radical Islamic terrorism in Saudi Arabia]

AND

Steve Kroft: I understand all the caveats about these regional groups. But this is an army of 40,000 people, according to some of the military estimates I heard the other day, very well-trained, very motivated.

President Obama: Well, part of it was that...

[The teleprompter must have crashed..]

Steve Kroft: What? How did they end up where they are in control of so much territory? Was that a complete surprise to you?

[Hey... I was playing golf...]

President Obama: Well I think, our head of the intelligence community, Jim Clapper, has acknowledged that I think they underestimated what had been taking place in Syria.

[Sure, why not trust the word of a serial perjurer?]

"And when trouble comes up anywhere in the world, they don't call Beijing. They don't call Moscow. They call us."

[Yes, "they call us" many things, for example "the Great Satan"] 

Steve Kroft: I mean, he didn't say that, just say that, we underestimated ISIL. He said, we overestimated the ability and the will of our allies, the Iraqi army, to fight.

President Obama: That's true. That's absolutely true. And I...

[Just say it Obama - you underestimated them after you armed them] 

AND

Steve Kroft: You've got midterm elections coming up. Are you going to get shellacked?

[Bent over and butt-fucked would be a more accurate description] 

President Obama: Well...

[Whoops, the teleprompter crashed again]

Steve Kroft: Or do you think that, I mean, are you optimistic? What are the issues and what are you going to tell the American people?

[Time to get out the hip-waders] 

President Obama: Here's what I'm going to tell the American people. When I came into office, our economy was in crisis. We had unemployment up at 10 percent. It's now down to 6.1. We've had the longest run of uninterrupted private sector job growth in our history. We have seen deficits cut by more than half. Corporate balance sheets are probably the best they've been in the last several decades. We are producing more energy than we have before. We are producing more clean energy than we ever have before. I can put my record against any leader around the world in terms of digging ourselves out of a terrible, almost unprecedented financial crisis. Ronald Reagan used to ask the question, "Are you better off than you were four years ago?" In this case, are you better off than you were in six? And the answer is, the country is definitely better off than we were when I came into office, but now we have to make sure...

[What a bullshit artist, as if name-dropping Reagan is going to excuse all of his incompetence] 

Steve Kroft: Do you think people will feel that?

[The Democrats have an army of gullible suckers although it is dwindling daily] 

President Obama: They don't feel it. And the reason they don't feel it is because incomes and wages are not going up. There are solutions to that. If we raise the minimum wage, if we make sure women are getting paid the same as men for doing the same work, if we are rebuilding our infrastructure, if we're doing more to invest in job training so people are able to get the jobs that are out there right now, because manufacturing is coming back to this country. Not just the auto industry that we've saved, but you're starting to see reinvestment here in the United States. Businesses around the world are saying for the first time in a long time, "The place to invest isn't in China. It's the United States."

[China sure is "investing" in the United States, thanks to Obama and his slimy Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner we are in hock up to our ass to them]

Steve Kroft: Do you think you can hold the Senate?

[Can pigs fly?] 

President Obama: Yes. I do.

[Cut that man off! He has exceeded his alcohol limit]

Steve Kroft: You think you can sell this.

[Are there still enough suckers out there who will bite on "hope and change" hogwash?] 

President Obama: You know what?

 [I have an inkling that they are beginning to suspect that I suck]

Steve Kroft: You think you can convince people that they're doing fine, economically?

[Banker bonuses have never been better and the parties on the Hamptons and Martha's Vineyard will be like Roman orgies this year]

President Obama: Hopefully, they get a chance to hear the argument, because all I'm doing is presenting the facts.

Yep Mr. President, just like Khorasan or for that matter "hope" and "change". As the late P.T. Barnum once nailed it: "there is a sucker born every minute" and they breed like rabbits in America these days. How else could a two-bit shit salesman like Obama have ever been elected as president?
