The Big Nausea: Waking Up With an Obama-Ache

by BAR executive editor Glen Ford

“Black folks have been forced to come to grips with the finality of Obama’s second term.”

The Obama Hangover has begun. The drunken delirium that descended on Black America after the pale Democratic caucuses of Iowa endorsed a brown-skinned corporatist just after New Years Day, 2008 – conveying white “viability” on a Great Black Hope – is definitively over. It’s the morning-after in Black America, a scene of economic and political ruin bathed in the searing daylight of Obama’s second term and umpteenth betrayal.

Sheik Muhammad Bouti, his Grandson and 40 Others Killed by NATO Backed Terrorists in Syria

by Scott Creighton

UPDATE: His website http://bouti.net/ appears to be blocked here in the United States or at least my Verizon service is blocking it.  You can go here to view more images of the freedom fighter’s handiwork.

Sheik Muhammad Bouti was by all accounts a peaceful, educated man. The retired dean and a professor at the College of Islamic Law at Damascus University hated what foreign powers like the U.S., France, Britain, Israel, Saudi Arabia, Jordan and others are attempting to do to his country through this ongoing terrorist destabilization campaign. He hated what these mercenaries are doing to the image of his religion which is in it’s purest form and expression of peace, forgiveness and submission. He spoke out about these things he hated and he and his grandson and 40 others who gathered to hear him speak inside al-Iman Mosque in Damascus on Thursday died for it. Died a most gruesome and horrific death at the hands of a coward in the employ of monsters.

The US Government Has Constructed a Ubiquitous Surveillance State

(In keeping with the article I just posted about how the Reagan White House helped the fascist state in Guatemala set up death squads and in understanding what the government did in conjunction with the brutally murderous state of Indonesia and so many others, here is a little current events note to make you think about the VERY NEAR future this country is racing to meet)

Cameron Promises to “close down the ungoverned spaces” in Endless War on Terror

by Scott Creighton

UPDATE: AP Jan. 22 2013

“American planes transported French troops and equipment to Mali, a U.S. military spokesman said Tuesday, as Malian and French forces pushed into the Islamist-held north.”

——

Blonde haired, Blue eyed, English speaking “Islamists’ taking hostages in Algeria giving blonde haired, blue eyed, English speaking David Cameron the opportunity to invade and re-colonize the nation under the auspices of the mythical “endless war on terror” (Global Free Market Wars). It’s all about “closing down the ungoverned spaces” as Cameron honestly puts it. And as it just so happens, all the witnesses hostages are “accidentally” killed in the attack. What a coincidence, huh?

“It takes a really good education to miss all of this” Chomsky

After KONY2012 failed due to their closeted pitchman being a meth addict and running naked in San Diego for all too see his little bits on the side of the road, the powers that be in the U.S. created the nearly as disastrous Innocence of the Muslims Psyop to serve the exact same ends: create a pretext for President Obama to put away his phony Peace Prize and launch a continent-wide aggressive, illegal, immoral military campaign on countless little countries (35 to be exact) in order to recolonize them and make them bend to the will of the IMF/World Bank and the various other masters of the universe.

What does “ungoverned spaces” mean? It means places that currently reside peacefully under governments that don’t serve the interests of the Bank for International Settlements cabal. It means places where they can’t pawn off credit default swaps to crash the economy. It means places where their technocrats don’t run the country yet. It means places that are still run by all those unstable democratic elections.

It’s not that they don’t have a government, they just don’t have a government that bows to our interests like we do. Therefore, they are ungoverned spaces. That’s what it means.

Lupe Fiasco Kicked off Stage at Inauguration Party for Telling the Truth

by Scott Creighton

How ironic is it that while performing a song that is critical of Obamagod called Words I Never Said, the organizers basically gag Lupe Fiasco just like the brownshirts do in the video of the song?

Lupe Fiasco was tossed off a stage at an inauguration party last night because he refused to stop performing a song that was critical of Barack Obama. The video of his removal from the stage is all over the internet at this point. He dared to tell the truth about the glorious one and our fascist state was having none of it.

Videos of the event and his music video of the song are after the break.

Chris Hedges on Civil Liberties, Obama’s Empire, and Serious Revolt (Until in comes to the 2nd amendment and then he says we are all racists)

by Scott Creighton

Chris Hedges is all about defending our civil liberties… until someone brings up the 2nd amendment, at which time he claims we want to preserve the right to own firearms because we are scared of black and brown people.

According to Hedges, we aren’t concerned about a totalitarian out of control government which he just said is going to start locking people up due to the NDAA 2012… oh no… that isn’t why people are fighting for the preservation of the 2nd amendment in that long list called the Bill of Rights, the right and the duty to defend against a corrupt government… oh no… it’s because we are afraid of black and brown people.

Hedges’ hypocrisy on this matter is stunning to say the least and assuming it’s “hypocrisy” is being generous on my part.

Obama Meets his Prestitute Megaphonies to Prep “Fiscal Cliff” Compromise Propaganda

by Scott Creighton

Barack Obama has every intention of betraying his base… once again, this time on the subject of crippling “austerity” measures (read as “IMF structural reform package”) that will be “needed” to avoid the ever looming mythical fiscal cliff. So he called a special meeting with some of the left-wing propaganda peddlers to have a little off-the-record meeting at the White House. The idea is to get the talking points directly to the megaphonies so there’s no communication divide while at the same time expressing to them their personal importance to the administration, capitalizing on their feelings of entitlement in order to ensure they will strive their hardest to convince their audiences that something that is in their worst interest is actually in their best interests. To lie to their fans for the president and his neoliberal agenda in other words.

Israel Targets International Journalists in Gaza While Obama Poops on Peace Prize

by Scott Creighton

UPDATE: Israeli officials Tweet picture of fake Gaza hospital sign to justify their bombing of hospitals.

Obama responds to Israeli aggression in Gaza while the rent-a-crowd in Thailand chants “Obama! Obama! Obama!”

Israel is stepping up their brutal and illegal attack on Gaza making ready for their ground assault. In order to do that, they decided to silence the would be witnesses of their criminal aggression by sending them a message. A clear and distinct message:

“Early this morning, just after dawn, the Israeli military targeted two media buildings in the Gaza Strip, injuring six journalists with one losing his leg in an amputation after the bombing. “We obviously know there are journalists in the building,” said IDF spokesperson Avital Leibovich hours later, confirming the Israeli military knowingly targeted news organizations in a military strike to destroy an antenna that was located on the roof of the building.  Leibovich continued, “so we did not attack any other floor in the building, but my advice to journalist visiting Gaza is to stay away from any Hamas positions, or Hamas sites, or Hamas posts for their own safety.” Mondoweiss

“Israel agents phone Gaza media threatening to flatten their buildings to the ground unless they evacuate,” said Fear on Twitter.

Israel is removing the press so they can do what they are about to do in the dead silence, in the dark.

Analysis: Election over, U.S. cautiously mulls Syria options

Reuters

With the U.S. election over and Syria’s civil war growing bloodier and spreading, the Obama administration is quietly re-examining its options for involvement in the conflict.

Whether that will lead to a change in strategy remains unclear. President Barack Obama and his advisers are extremely cautious, current and former officials involved in discussions say.

But those who favor greater U.S. involvement – not least Syrian opposition leaders – clearly believe their time has come. What Washington must consider, they say, is more support for the rebels and perhaps limited military action.

Clinton Declines to Testify before Congress over Amb. Steven’s Death: The Taliban Has Left the Building

by Scott Creighton

‘For me, the Taliban is on the inside of the building.”

former State Department security chief for Libya Oct. 10th 2012

“I take responsibility” Clinton on Benghazi psyop Oct. 15th 2012

“We are on your side” Clinton to terrorist militia member Oct. 18th 2011

Oct. 18th 2011 Killary meets with leaders of terrorist destabilization campaign in Libya

Let’s see if I have this lined up correctly:

Sec. of State Hillary Clinton and former CIA Director David Petraeus, the two people most responsible for the disastrous “security failure” (wink wink) Sept. 11 2012 in Benghazi which supposedly took the lives of 4 U.S. citizens including U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens and several Libyan security guards, are not going to be bothered to testify before any form of congressional investigation into the matter.

What has become clear is the fact that this was a CIA operation from the start, that it was lied about in the aftermath, that repeated requests for increased security in the run-up to the anniversary of 9/11 were not only ignored but diligently obstructed, that the film this was supposed to be in reaction to was manufactured by an admitted FBI informant and thus was in the control of the Justice Department, that Stevens and State were in the process of shipping arms and terrorists to Syria for the same purposes they served in Libya, and as a direct result of this psyop we now have 500+ various Special Ops forces running around northern Africa looking for the “terrorists” who did this while the CIA has a free hand to use their precious drones to attack the Green Resistance in Libya. And after all of that, Killary doesn’t need to testify before congress?

Is that about the size of it?

Spanish Townsfolk, Our Monster: Now What Are We Going to Do About It?

by Scott Creighton

UPDATE 3: “The French, Spanish and Greek governments all announced multibillion-euro austerity plans yesterday in the face of massive popular opposition.”

UPDATE 2: Slavery in the UK. The unemployed are being forced to work for major British corporations, for free, just so they can continue to receive their unemployment benefits. This plan is the same as one attempted here in the states, one that still has a great deal of support in congress. Imagine the profits retailers could pocket if they got free seasonal workers during the holiday buying season.

UPDATE: In Dubai, one of our close economic allies, they call slave owners “sponsors” and fine their slaves if they attempt to take their own lives when the desperation of their true situation becomes too unbearable to live with.

“I found myself thrown away and I thought of my poor family back home. I felt desperate and decided I should die,” she said. The National

———

While Americans cheer for the return of  zebra striped officials to the NFL games today, the Spanish, the Greeks and many others across Europe are fighting for their very lives and the freedom to determine the quality of them on their own. Our apparent lack of concern is understandable when you consider that what they are desperately struggling against is in a large part, our creation. Not only is Dr. Frankenstein disinterested in the harm his creation inflicts on the people around him by choice, but the townsfolk themselves willingly turn a blind eye and a deaf ear to the cries of their neighbors in nearby villages just so long as the monster feeds elsewhere.

Promoting Fascism At the Clinton Global(ist) Initiative: Mitt Romney

by Scott Creighton

I can’t think of a better front man for the soulless Democratic Party than Bill Clinton. He a liar, a womanizer, a sleaze who used his position of authority to stick his willy in a 21 year old intern AND he has made a billion or so dollars promoting his “Global Initiative” of bring fascism lite or “the public/private partnership” to America and the rest of the developing world (yes folks, we are the developing world these days right along with Spain, Greece, Italy, the UK and many others)

And lets not forget he bombed the shit out of Yugoslavia so they could “Balkanize” the nation for various business interests, destroyed Welfare as we knew it, railroaded Brooksley Born when she tried to warn of the unregulated derivatives markets, starved half a million Iraqi children to death simply to weaken the problematic puppet Hussain, and erased the protections of Glass-Steagall which allowed the “too big too fail” banks to cripple the economy and create the necessary environment for his fascist Clinton Global Initiative to thrive.

Personally I can’t think of a better representative of the self-absorbed hypocritical petty bourgeoisie of the left… and the fact that he invited Mitt Vulture Capitalist Romney to headline his little party should give those types a clearer glimpse into the mirror as to what they really are and what they really support (though it’s probably too late to warn the zOmbamies)

“Innocence of Muslims” Psyop is About Crushing Libya’s Growing Green Revolution

by Scott Creighton

UPDATE 2: Washington Post reports “Gadhafi loyalists did it” aka the Green Revolution… that didn’t take long, did it?

UPDATE: (H/T Jan) An Egyptian Muslim noticed something “odd” about all of this and posted a comment on a Reddit thread dealing with this psyop. I post his entire comment below after the original article. It’s worth reading (thanks Jan)

——

Since Chris Stevens was supposedly murdered yesterday  by some angry Muslims in Benghazi (how exactly does someone die of smoke inhalation in a car with windows? How do 4 people die that way at the same time without at least one of them thinking about rolling down a window?), President Obama has unleashed the anti-terrorism fast response team of U.S. Marines to the area to put “boots on the ground” and protect our interests in the newly formed, post regime change Libya.

I’ve been working on this story since late last night when I posted one of the first alternative news articles about the pathetic cobbled together film school video at the heart of all this called “Innocence of Muslims”. It’s been a long night.

After careful consideration I have determined that this entire, ham-handed and rushed psyop seems to have been scripted in order to create a narrative to justify President Obama putting boots on the ground in Libya to crush a real revolution that is taking place and has been growing since the United States orchestrated the fake revolution in that country last year.

Several key aspects of this situation are not being discussed at all in the MSM and I think the people have a right to know. Is this another Gulf of Tonkin event? Let’s see.

Obama’s FSA Admits to Bombing UN Observer’s Mission While US Public Opinion Shifts

by Scott Creighton

Let’s make this very clear to start with, the Obama administration (or the administration of “President Peace Prize” as I like to call the left cover product Obama) is running a proxy destabilization campaign in Syria which is causing untold harm and suffering to the people of that nation. The intention is to force regime change so that the neo-liberal Obama regime can come in and force their structural reforms (privatization, deregulation, opening up their markets to global interests, privatization of the Central Bank, increased unemployment, decimation of state workers, decimation of labor unions, seizure of mineral wealth for private companies)

Their cowardly and brutal efforts have met with a bit of resistance in the civilized world with 30 nations meeting the other day to work out a better plan to stop the aggression in Syria and to save lives, something that we don’t seem to be interested in these days. They are following the lead set by nations like Iran, Russia, China, Venezuela, India, Pakistan and others who did not vote for the recent one-sided GA resolution in the UN and who have been working to block the imperialist aggression in Syria.

In spite of continued complicity from the globalist media corporations and fake left sites like Democracy Now! for instance, the general world opinion in this matter has shifted heavily in favor of the legitimate Syrian government as the people of the world reject the obvious propaganda being shoveled down their throats daily.
