The election triumph of Barack Obama and the return of power to the Democrats was a cause for a split second of relief, but not elation.
What the world learned is that it will not be subjected to a McCain-Palin presidency, which certainly would have ushered in horrors, violence, and insanity that likely would have dwarfed those of Bush-Cheney.
But the arrival of Obama as the new imperial figurehead of the Anglo-American empire is not a victory of, or for, the people. It will not signify a dramatic upheaval, in any way, and by no means is any sort of revolution at hand.
Nor is Obama’s ascendancy about “you.” It is about “them.”
This election was a necessary rotation of management, scripted at the highest levels of the Anglo-American elite.
The shifting of the deck chairs
The empire — bloated, sickened, and on the verge of systemic collapse from eight years of sucking on its own Bush-Cheney poisons — is retrenching for its own survival.
Eight years of Bush-Cheney delivered unprecedented power, control and trillions in loot. But in the end, the bottom-line results proved insufficient. Bush-Cheney did not make good on their promise to conquer the Middle East, secure all of the energy, and maintain American primacy. Their hubris and reckless arrogance has proven to be too big an international public relations nightmare to cover up.
(Article continues below)
Although the Republicans did steal millions of votes, as predicted and tracked by Bradblog, Black Box Voting, and Greg Palast. It became clear, as election night unfolded, that Obama would be permitted a win, encoded on Republican voting technology, and beamed across a corporate media that had already begun to favor Obama and the Democrats months earlier.
The “change” that a Barack Obama presidency will bring to America and the world will be one of style, not substance: a return to the centrist corporate globalism of the Clinton and Carter eras, complete with regurgitated Democratic Party elites from those administrations, and new neoliberal politicians touting similar ideologies.
Obama’s coming wars
As noted by Mike Ruppert and other seasoned observers, Obama is no savior, but the momentary pause offered by the imperial shift at the top has some value. It buys humanity some time. Time to prepare to face the worsening decline that Obama himself will oversee.
The velvet gloves will be slipped back over the iron fists, but the fists will still be wielded aggressively. Within months, the global conquest that Bush-Cheney started will resume under the vastly more convincing and adored Obama, who has consistently stated his intention to intensify the war in Afghanistan, and “kill ‘terrorists’” across the Middle East.
Many expect Obama to prove “how tough he is” immediately upon entering the White House, for political reasons.
Obama is also perfectly positioned to introduce wars justified by popular humanitarian pretexts, such as in Darfur and other energy-rich geography in Africa.
As written in the biting and definitive indictment of the Obama foreign policy promise by Michel Chossudovsky, The Democrats endorse the “Global War on Terrorism”: Obama “goes after” Osama, there will be no change of direction under Obama:
“9/11 constitutes for Obama the main justification for waging a humanitarian war in the Middle East and Central Asia. In this regard, his position does not differ from that of the Bush administration.
“Withdraw from Iraq, but remain in Afghanistan. Confront Iran, challenge Russia . . . Apart from the rhetoric of ‘bringing the troops home’ from war torn Iraq, which may or may not be carried out, what distinguishes the Democrats from the Republicans?
“A more articulate, knowledgeable and charismatic president?
“A more dignified and diplomatic approach to US foreign policy?
“An opportunity to the US ruling elite to ‘present a different face to the world that could revive illusions to its democratic pretensions, not only internationally but within the United States as well.’ . . .
“A spurious and counterfeit ‘humanitarian’ approach to Empire, which serves to mask the truth and gain popular support.
“A less reckless Commander in Chief, who has an understanding of geopolitics and is capable of taking foreign policy decisions. A more carefully thought out military agenda than that experienced during the Bush administration? But no substantive shift in direction.
“A means to quelling mounting dissent and opposition to the ruling corporate establishment by providing the illusion that the Democrats constitute a Real Alternative.
“A means to sustaining the illusion that African-Americans can move up the social ladder in America and that their fundamental rights are being upheld.
“A means to undermining real progressive movements by further embedding civil society organizations, trade unions and grass roots organizations, not to mention “Leftist” intellectuals into the realm of the Democratic Party.
“A distraction from the extensive war crimes committed under successive US administrations.
“A ‘human face’ to war and globalization?”
Obama will not only maintain the bipartisan Washington consensus “war on terrorism” deception, he will improve upon it. As a pacifying force, he will perpetuate the cover-up, and retrieve the “squandered opportunity” presented by the false-flag operation of 9/11: a world united behind imperial war.
March of the elites
The true nature of Obama’s administration will be evident the moment Obama introduces members of his transition team and cabinet.
Legions of corrupt elites — legendary war criminals, think tank assets and intelligence/security advisors — guided the campaigns of Obama, Clinton and the Republican candidates.
Which of these same figures will now run Obama’s CIA, his Department of Homeland Security (which he will not dismantle), his National Security Council and his Defense Department?
What Wall Street elites and former investment bank CEOs will be tapped to oversee the Treasury? Who will be the ambassador to the United Nations?
Which Republicans will Obama “reach across the aisle” to bring in? How many “Bushies”?
How many members of the conservative Democratic Leadership Council (DLC) will be given free reign?
How many members of the Council on Foreign Relations, how many Bilderbergers, will run the show?
They’re still here
Lost in the election noise, and clouded by Obama euphoria, is the fact that Bush and Cheney have nearly two months left in power. More than ample time to commit some final atrocities and crimes.
As tracked by Mike Ruppert, Catherine Austin Fitts and others, trillions of dollars are being systematically sucked, and suckered, out of the financial system. The global financial meltdown, along with other forms of destruction and cover-up, is the Bush-Cheney machine’s scorched-earth farewell.
And it is not over yet. Will any bombs go off before Obama takes office? Who will George W. Bush pardon on his way out?
A call for sobriety and vigilance
The style shift from Bush-Cheney neofascism to “classic” neoliberalism under Obama may feel like “change.” It is not.
The reality of the continuing global crisis — and Obama’s role as its latest figurehead — demands even more astute opposition, even more aggressive demands for justice, and a redoubled effort to end war and imperial criminality.
Those who opposed Bush-Cheney must now refuse to drink the Obama Kool-Aid, and face the new challenge of battling a retrenched empire, a newly pacified population, and a naïve, hopeful and easily manipulated population that will be lost in even thicker denial; one that believes that “the bad guys are gone,” the worst is over, and that its salvation has been delivered.

Information is for the mind and soul like food is to the body ..the diet of food/information either leaves you energiesed motivated and active…or it makes you lethargic ..addicted and tampers with your ability to do anything.
Now lets study something that if people are fed a diet of THEY ARE COMING TO GET YOU…the logical thing would be .. to build a credible defence based upon and equal to the diet of THEY ARE COMING TO GET YOU…..
HOWEVER looking at the TRUTH MOVEMENT …the reverse is true…the very point of SOLUTIONS is dismissed as futile in the face of THEIR POWER…What will save people is a hide in the cave survivalist mentality….What was destroyed and taken over by bankers we are told in great endless detail…
HOW TO REGAIN IT IS LEFT OUT…
Have AJ NADER TARPLY or RP et al created their own banking system where folks can invest??? BIG RESOUNDING NO!
So what is better my friend …you state OBAMA ‘the evil one’ has created the makings of greater evil on top of the destroyed economy…
But surely creating NO ALTERNATIVE to the evil system while constantly broadcasting to fearful people about its power and their destruction is a cycle of disempowerment that is also evil.
I can watch someone being mugged…I can tell the world the TRUTH a vicious mugging is taking place…In the end it will still boil down to what actual ACTION did i take to stop it.
AJ is an ADMITTED CONSERVATIVE…(shouldnt he be above and beyond such NWO terms???)
Thus far we have seen in 2 years of people motivated to VOTE…they may be sheeple but they voted in a spirit of defiance to a BUSH/CHENEY world order or against OBAMA…If the TRUTH MOVEMENT has a message and constituency that shifts from topics as obvious or broad or vague as PLANET X 2012 …FOX NEWS are assholes …9/11 was an inside job….
IT STILL HAS NO RELEVANCE TO BREAD AND BUTTER DAY TO DAY ISSUES OF PEOPLES DAY TO DAY in the only system presented to them to exist in…DONT dislike the game so much you want it gone yet have no real ALTERNATIVES …thats fraudulent.

ITS INTERESTING THAT PEOPLE SHOULD BE TOLD OF A FIRE WITHOUT BEING GIVEN ANY MEANS OR WAYS TO PUT THE FIRE OUT…SHORT OF HIDING IN A BUNKER WITH A GUN LISTENING ENDLESSLY TO THE …’TRUTH’ RE HOW BIG THE FIRE IS GETTING AND HOW CLOSE IT IS TO THEIR DOOR AND HOW STUPID THOSE NOT IN BUNKERS ARE…EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE NOT BEEN PROVIDED WITH ANYWHERE ELSE TO GO.
Information is for the mind and soul like food is to the body ..the diet of food/information either leaves you energiesed motivated and active…or it makes you lethargic ..addicted and tampers with your ability to do anything.
Now lets study something Paulson Is An Idiot 100 the end result of your point is that the application is what matters as opposed to the theory…INDUCTIVE REASONNING…therefore it is also true that if people are fed a diet of THEY ARE COMING TO GET YOU…the logical thing would be ..by your own theory to build a credible defence based upon and equal to the diet of THEY ARE COMING TO GET YOU…..
HOWEVER looking at the TRUTH MOVEMENT …the reverse is true…the very point of SOLUTIONS is dismissed as futile in the face of THEIR POWER…What will save people is a hide in the cave survivalist mentality….What was destroyed and taken over by bankers we are told in great endless detail…

Theres no doubt this system will fail. I got a taste of the Christian mindset after a few months bible study and I think its fair to say the govt to take the place of a system that crashed spectacularly would be called “Gods Government”. As much as I honestly believe 911 was an inside job I have to agree with “REALNESS” comment. History shows us what religion did when it had the power. It was far uglier than this. Im an admirer of AJ’s and think hes gutsy, but I havent heard him talk about solutions, and I fear that his solution would be a religious one. Religion, the biggest drawback and hindrance to mankinds growth throughout history. It leaves you with tales of heroes in bad times and neglects to inform the church was usually at the root of the abuses. At the very least church acted in concert with systematic abusive govts. As much as I hated Bush and Cheney, Id take a 1,000 more years of that than having the local religious trend of the time indoctrinate me into the “family”. Im sure the Iraqis and many others would not.

You take a mortal man,
And put him in control
Watch him become a god,
Watch peoples heads aroll
Aroll…
Just like the pied piper
Led rats through the streets
We dance like marionettes,
Swaying to the symphony…
Of destruction
Acting like a robot,
Its metal brain corrodes.
You try to take its pulse,
Before the head explodes.
Explodes…
The earth starts to rumble
World powers fall
A warring for the heavens,
A peaceful man stands tall
Tall…

I do not, and will not acknowledge this man as president until he produces his birth certificate proving he was legally able to run for office in the first place. As far as I am concerned, the longer he takes to produce this document, the more I am convinced they are buying time to either forge one or hoping people simply forget he was constitutionally unable to run for that position in the first place. When they set aside our laws if and when they chose, that is tyranny.

“ITS INTERESTING THAT PEOPLE SHOULD BE TOLD OF A FIRE WITHOUT BEING GIVEN ANY MEANS OR WAYS TO PUT THE FIRE OU”
The problem is most people are asleep, once awake natural servival tendencies will tell them what the appropriate response for themselves is. Run, put out the fire, find help, whatever.
“Have AJ NADER TARPLY or RP et al created their own banking system where folks can invest??? BIG RESOUNDING NO! ”
Have you? Does hypocrisy mean anything to you? Do you know what it means to choose your battles and to have a single front?
“NO ALTERNATIVE to the evil system while constantly broadcasting to fearful people about its power and their destruction is a cycle of disempowerment that is also evil.”
No we ran candidates and put people into local positions. We lost the battle for the president badly but we stool took and held some ground in the process. That is not evil that is the nature of fighting an opponent with unlimited resources and demonic intelligence.
“AJ is an ADMITTED CONSERVATIVE”
Conservative by definition, is someone who is not liberal. Liberal with money, power, ect. 1984 spoke of the system changing the language to limit intelligent progressive speach. You accepted the changed definition of what it means to be conservative. AJ has not.
“RELEVANCE TO BREAD AND BUTTER DAY TO DAY ISSUES OF PEOPLES DAY TO DAY”
911 was a crime that killed 3000 people. The evidence was presented in broad daylight. The perpetrators acted like saviors. Supporting those criminals makes oneself a member of their gang. You would not say it had no significance to day to day issues, if you had a family member injured or killed that day or the numerous wars that followed. You would not say it had no significance, if one of your family members was kidnapped and missing, maybe in Guantanamo or some other hidden place.
fraud can be defined as: intentional deception resulting in injury to another person. Fighting a battle and loosing, but not giving up the war is not fraud.
Just because you are waiting for someone to pick a battle for you does not mean they are equal to the ones who started the war.

dont make us the fool …1 is AJ a hero…. yes he is…is the present method of fighting the globalists equal to what the globalists do to control people…no it isnt…
You are either accepting that youve crossed the line George Washington crossed or you accept that you havent…….dont fight the message fight the battle…if people are asking for more then its for those who want to see the end of this ‘tyranny to present that in a form that doesnt just WAKE PEOPLE UP ..in a manner that alienates them but mobilizes and offers plans.
The answer to your questions to me will be shown in time…HOWEVER..you claim to be fighting the battle where you are… so fight it…dont present potential supporters like myself as the enemy because we grill your use of the pulpit.
Your policy of finger pointing without SOLUTIONS is running with the hares and chasing with the hounds…
To argue against this TRUTH is irrelevant because it exists..to be addressed ..by the mobilization of those you claim support from around truely relevant DAY TO DAY issues…
As to your arguement around 9/11… Yes it WAS an inside job but you cant fight certain aspects of the powers that be using the very legal and media and masses controlled by the powers that be.
Revolutionary justice does not sit and say that those responsible for 9/11 must be exposed to the world and taken to courts they control….
THERES FIGHTING HARD…THEN THERES FIGHTING SMART…You guys need to begin fighting smart instead of hard.

This is a really good article, because it makes a good introduction to people who are not even close to being aware of what’s going on, and who are still blindly loyal to a specific party, or who have been successfully mani. From beginning to end, it conveys a feeling of being objective, and not partisan, yet well-informed. I’m spreading this article to everybody I can.
