Each generation must, out of relative obscurity, discover its mission, fulfill it, or betray it.
-Frantz Fanon
What better way to keep a people enslaved than to install one who purports to be of the oppressed, to do the oppressing. Even as the shameless hypocrisy and rhetorical obfuscation (otherwise known asveiled lies) from Barack Obama, and his corporate-owned Democrat and Republican party cohorts, bombard the everyday Black, White, Brown, Red, and Yellow people of this nation, the deepening agony of ordinary people is obscured by the corporate-stream media’s endless, repackaged vomit. The The reign of terror, in the form of U.S. predator-drone missiles and bombs reigning down from the skies on the people of Afghanistan, Pakistan, and north Africa, etc.,far from diminishing, has been increased ten-fold by a corporate-owned U.S. president, congress, and judiciary that have gone stark raving mad. The everyday ordinary people of this nation and planet be damned! Barack Obama, this double-talking, bait and switch, supposed former ‘community organizer’ who mysteriously rose from relative obscurity to become U.S. president and Commander and Chief of the U.S. military has carried out what his blatantright-wing predecessors could not. He has ushered in a corporate-controlledlegalized police-state in this nation accompanied by perpetual There were those who proclaimed that Barack Obama would, as In the very name of cutting the military / war budget, Barack Obama skillfully utilizes loopholes and hidden corporate and Pentagon military expenditures to in fact increase the Of course Barack Obama could not effectively pull the wool over the eyes of everyday people without the compliance, complicity, and willing subservience of the It is bitterly ironic that while Barack Obama has rhetorically adorned himself with the mantles of historical figures such Abraham Lincoln and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., he ignores Lincoln’s words that one “cannot fool all the people all the time;” and Obama’s bloody, warmongering polices make an utter mockery of the anti-war legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. These are the realities pertaining to Barack Obama - the alleged former ‘community organizer.’ Under this system of corporate domination, no serious or genuine ‘community organizer’ of and for the peoplewould ever receive many millions of dollars of corporate support (as has Obama) and subsequently be installed in the White House, as the head of the U.S. Empire. We must use our common sense! Once more, we must reflect upon the need for total systemic change - which change will only be brought about - by the everyday people themselves / ourselves. Keep in mind that the draconian laws such as the ‘Patriot’ Act and Indefinite Detention [NDAA] have nothing whatever to do with the security of everyday people andeverything to do with the security for the corporate elite and the concomitant repression of everyday people in this nation and throughout this planet of Mother Earth. Expect more lies and simultaneously more well-coordinated political repression from the Onward, then, my sisters and brothers! Onward!
