USA Promotes/Supports Civil Violence In Other Countries
A twin terrorist bombing in the Syrian capital of Damascus, allegedly targeting government buildings, ripped through a Christian neighborhood killing an estimated 27, mostly civilians.
A third bomb exploded, killing only the driver of the car it was placed in, in what was apparently an attempted triple suicide bombing. CBS News reports that after other similar attacks, U.S. officials suggest Al Qaeda terrorists “may be” amongst the Syrian rebels.
However, while the West attempts to portray this as an unexpected development, we shall see that it not only was likely, but in fact the premeditated modus operandi of Western-backed destabilization efforts directed at upturning not only Syria, but the entire Arab World.
From the beginning the United States has been directly behind the unrest in Syria. In fact, America’s involvement in destabilizing Syria began years before the admittedly US-engineered Arab Spring even unfolded in a premeditated plot to upturn the entire Arab World and reorder it according to their own corporate-financier and hegemonic geopolitical interests.
US Army General Wesley Clark would state that in 1991, then Undersecretary of Defense for Policy Paul Wolfowitz said the US had 5-10 years to clean up the old Soviet “client regimes” before the next super power rose up and challenged western hegemony.
Clark claimed that this, along with the aftermath of 9/11 constituted a policy coup where Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, Paul Wolfowitz, and the other members of the of Project for a New American Century had hijacked US foreign policy to destabilize and turn the nations of the Middle East upside down – much the way they are now.
Clark would go on to say that shortly after September 11, 2001, while at the Pentagon, a document handed down from the Office of the Secretary of Defense indicated plans to attack and destroy the governments of 7 countries; Iraq, Syria, Sudan, Somalia, Iran, Lebanon and Libya.
Clearly the United States has already “attacked and destroyed” Iraq, which in 2003 was invaded and subsequently occupied for nearly a decade at the cost of nearly a million lives including over 4,400 US soldiers, sailors, airmen, and Marines, and trillions of dollars of taxpayer money.
Likewise Libya was destabilized and invaded by proxy through a combination of US-led NATO forces and US State Department listed terrorist organizations/
Somalia has been the victim of repeated US-backed invasions by Ethiopia, Uganda, Kenya, and systematic air and drone campaigns carried out by the recently established US Africa Command (AFRICOM), while neighboring Sudan has been carved into two separate states, isolating the oil-rich south with further intervention pending as public support is built by stunts including the fraudulent Kony 2012 video and George Clooney’s pro-imperial intervention advocacy.
Iran has likewise been under systematic premeditated attack for years, including brutal sanctions, and the training, arming, and funding of US State Department-listed foreign terror organization, Mujahedin-e Khalq Organization (MEK) to carry out terrorist attacks within Iran, as well as the constant threat of unilateral attack by the US, which was described in minute detail in 2009 amongst the pages of US policy think-tankBrookings Institution’s “Which Path to Persia?” report.
Undeniably, the group has conducted terrorist attacks—often excused by the MEK’s advocates because they are directed against the Iranian government. For example, in 1981, the group bombed the headquarters of the Islamic Republic Party, which was then the clerical leadership’s main political organization, killing an estimated 70 senior officials. Seymore Hersh in an NPR interview, also claims that select MEK members have already received training in the US.
Quite clearly then, the use of listed terrorist organizations is not an unfortunate or unexpected development in the midst of Western backed regime change operations – they are a central pillar in their planning and execution.
A concerted campaign to isolate, destabilize and overthrow the government of Syria began in 2002, a year after Clark was informed of the Pentagon’s plan to blitzkrieg through the Middle East.
It was then that Secretary of State John Bolton added Syria to the growing “Axis of Evil.” It would be later revealed that Bolton’s threats against Syria manifested themselves as covert funding and support for opposition groups inside of Syria spanning both the Bush and Obama administrations.
In an April 2011 CNN article, acting State Department spokesman Mark Toner stated, “We’re not working to undermine that [Syrian] government.
What we are trying to do in Syria, through our civil society support, is to build the kind of democratic institutions, frankly, that we’re trying to do in countries around the globe.
What’s different, I think, in this situation is that the Syrian government perceives this kind of assistance as a threat to its control over the Syrian people.”
Toner’s remarks came after the Washington Post released cables (13) indicating the US has been funding Syrian opposition groups since at least 2005 and continued.
Michael Posner, the assistant US Secretary of State for Human Rights and Labor, stated that the “US government has budgeted $50 million in the last two years to develop new technologies to help activists protect themselves from arrest and prosecution by authoritarian governments.”
The report went on to explain that the US “organized training sessions for 5,000 activists in different parts of the world. A session held in the Middle East about six weeks ago gathered activists from Tunisia, Egypt, Syria and Lebanon who returned to their countries with the aim of training their colleagues there,”
Posner would add, “They went back and there’s a ripple effect.” That ripple effect of course is the “Arab Spring,” and in Syria’s case, the impetus for the current unrest threatening to unhinge the nation and invite in foreign intervention.”
US-led NATO and the UN are backing terrorists in the midst of military conquest disguised as “humanitarian intervention.”
Now, with terrorist bombing campaigns targeting civilians and ripping through Damascus, we see just as it was planned for in Iran, the deployment of terrorist elements and tactics to bolster Western efforts to topple the Syrian government.
The corporate media in tandem with Pentagon officials feign ignorance in an attempt to maintain plausible deniability before a public they assume are far too ignorant to have read or comprehended their designs articulated in documents like “Which Path to Persia?”
It is confirmed that the UN’s casualty reports are based solely on opposition “activist” accounts and not on any verifiable facts. The UN’s November 2011 human rights report was based solely on such accounts, recorded not in Syria or the surrounding region, but rather in Geneva.
The report itself was compiled by Karen Koning AbuZayd who is concurrently a member of the Washington D.C. based Middle East Policy Council (18), along side current and former associates of Exxon, the US military, the CIA, the Saudi Binladin Group, the US-Qatari Business Council (19) and both former and current members of the US government.
Likewise, other “human right advocates” like Amnesty International are similarly compromised – Amnesty being headed literally by a former US State Department official, Suzanne Nossel, Executive Director. Nossel had just finished a stint as Deputy Assistant Secretary for International Organizations at the U.S. Department of State before being appointed as head of Amnesty.
She was also vice-president of strategy and operations for the Wall Street Journal and a media and entertainment consultant at McKinsey & Company.
Amnesty International also receives funding from Wall Street speculator George Soros’ Open Society Institute as well as the UK Department for International Development, the European Commission and other corporate-funded foundations.
Clearly “humanitarian concerns” are a disingenuous justification for continued meddling in Syria, with all involved notorious fabricators and harboring a staggering array of demonstratively conflicting interests.
With the addition of evidence proving the premeditated use of terrorist elements in the overthrow of sovereign foreign nations in US policy planning, the West’s efforts, as well as those of their proxies carrying their agenda out on the ground in Syria, are exposed as illegitimate criminality of vastly unprecedented proportions.
A third bomb exploded, killing only the driver of the car it was placed in, in what was apparently an attempted triple suicide bombing. CBS News reports that after other similar attacks, U.S. officials suggest Al Qaeda terrorists “may be” amongst the Syrian rebels.
However, while the West attempts to portray this as an unexpected development, we shall see that it not only was likely, but in fact the premeditated modus operandi of Western-backed destabilization efforts directed at upturning not only Syria, but the entire Arab World.

Iran has likewise been under systematic premeditated attack for years, including brutal sanctions, and the training, arming, and funding of US State Department-listed foreign terror organization, Mujahedin-e Khalq Organization (MEK) to carry out terrorist attacks within Iran, as well as the constant threat of unilateral attack by the US, which was described in minute detail in 2009 amongst the pages of US policy think-tankBrookings Institution’s “Which Path to Persia?” report.
In their report, they openly conspire to use what is an admitted terrorist organization as a “US proxy”:
“Perhaps the most prominent (and certainly the most controversial) opposition group that has attracted attention as a potential U.S. proxy is the NCRI (National Council of Resistance of Iran), the political movement established by the MEK (Mujahedin-e Khalq). Critics believe the group to be undemocratic and unpopular, and indeed anti-American.
In contrast, the group’s champions contend that the movement’s long-standing opposition to the Iranian regime and record of successful attacks on and intelligence-gathering operations against the regime make it worthy of U.S. support.
They also argue that the group is no longer anti-American and question the merit of earlier accusations. Raymond Tanter, one of the group’s supporters in the United States, contends that the MEK and the NCRI are allies for regime change in Tehran and also act as a useful proxy for gathering intelligence.
The MEK’s greatest intelligence coup was the provision of intelligence in 2002 that led to the discovery of a secret site in Iran for enriching uranium.
Despite its defenders’ claims, the MEK remains on the U.S. government list of foreign terrorist organizations. In the 1970s, the group killed three U.S. officers and three civilian contractors in Iran. During the 1979-1980 hostage crisis, the group praised the decision to take America hostages and Elaine Sciolino reported that while group leaders publicly condemned the 9/11 attacks, within the group celebrations were widespread.
Undeniably, the group has conducted terrorist attacks—often excused by the MEK’s advocates because they are directed against the Iranian government. For example, in 1981, the group bombed the headquarters of the Islamic Republic Party, which was then the clerical leadership’s main political organization, killing an estimated 70 senior officials.
More recently, the group has claimed credit for over a dozen mortar attacks, assassinations, and other assaults on Iranian civilian and military targets between 1998 and 2001. At the very least, to work more closely with the group (at least in an overt manner), Washington would need to remove it from the list of foreign terrorist organizations.”
It was also revealed in Seymour Hersh’s 2008 New Yorker article “Preparing the Battlefield,” that not only had MEK been considered for their role as a possible proxy, but that the US had already begun arming and financing them to wage war inside Iran:
“Some of the newly authorized covert funds, the Pentagon consultant told me, may well end up in M.E.K. coffers. “The new task force will work with the M.E.K. The Administration is desperate for results.”
He added, “The M.E.K. has no C.P.A. auditing the books, and its leaders are thought to have been lining their pockets for years. If people only knew what the M.E.K. is getting, and how much is going to its bank accounts—and yet it is almost useless for the purposes the Administration intends.”
Quite clearly then, the use of listed terrorist organizations is not an unfortunate or unexpected development in the midst of Western backed regime change operations – they are a central pillar in their planning and execution.
A concerted campaign to isolate, destabilize and overthrow the government of Syria began in 2002, a year after Clark was informed of the Pentagon’s plan to blitzkrieg through the Middle East.

Halfbreed Traitor Hussein Obama Strikes Again
In a stunning move Barack Obama signed an Executive Order stating that the President and his specifically designated Secretaries now have the authority to commandeer all domestic U.S. resources including food and water.
The EO also states that the President and his Secretaries have the authority to seize all transportation, energy, and infrastructure inside the United States as well as forcibly induct/draft American citizens into the military.
The EO also contains a vague reference in regards to harnessing American citizens to fulfill “labor requirements” for the purposes of national defense.
TRAITOR HUSSEIN OBAMA LYING AGAIN
Not only that, but the authority claimed inside the EO does not only apply to National Emergencies and times of war. It also applies in peacetime.
The National Defense Resources Preparedness Executive Order exploits the “authority” granted to the President in the Defense Production Act of 1950 in order to assert that virtually every means of human survival is now available for confiscation and control by the President via his and his Secretaries’ whim.
The unconstitutionality of the overwhelming majority of Executive Orders is well established, as well as the illegality of denying citizens their basic Constitutional and human rights, even in the event of a legitimate national emergency.
Likewise, it should also be pointed out that, like Obama’s recent Libyan adventure and the foregone conclusion of a Syrian intervention, there is no mention of Congress beyond a minor role.

Hussein Obama Deceptions Have Been Borne Out
The KONY 2012 phenomenon was a fire that consumed itself.
The propagandistic film went viral because of its sensationalism and commercialism, not because it was telling the truth and making a worthy difference in the discourse of international politics and the situation in Uganda.
Invisible Children, the group behind the film, has been described as cult-like and clueless by many experts such as Stephen Lewis, a Canadian diplomat and UN envoy to Africa.
We can learn three things from the globalist-run “KONY 2012″ propaganda campaign that is now viewed as an epic disaster after its creator went berserk in public and smashed his fists on the pavement while naked.
One, viral political films must be treated with deep skepticism and caution because their creators are not the final authority on truth and reality.
Second, if discredited politicians, journalists, and organizations promote the film then it is likely that the political cause the film is pushing on viewers is not egalitarian and just.
And three, the massive recognition and popularity of a political film is not an indication of its objectivity, sincerity, and authenticity.
The documentary, “The Obama Deception,” released in March 2009, has been watched 30-40 million times in the last three years, whether on the Internet, or in DVD format. And that is a conservative estimate.
At the time, critics said that the film made wild and conspiratorial claims about Barack Obama’s presidency, the United States government, and Wall Street.
But those critics are silent now.
In 2012, the film’s controversial claims can be measured and fact-checked based on three years of hard data, evidence, and official statements by members of the Obama administration.
II. From Controversy To Consent: The Rising Political Relevance of ‘The Obama Deception’
The ten biggest claims that were made in ‘The Obama Deception,’ according to my reading of the film, are listed below, followed by a brief explanation of why they are true, when necessary.
1. President Obama is a puppet who is owned by the parasitic financial community.
This statement needs no explanation. It is self-evident.
2. President Obama is dedicated to the overthrow of America’s constitutional republic.
President Obama told Congress in May 2011 that America’s bombing of Libya was authorized by the United Nations, and that Congress had no say in the matter.
More recently, Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta informed Senator Jeff Sessions and the Senate that the U.S. military answers to the international bankers behind the new world order, United Nations, and NATO, not the U.S. congress or the American people.
3. President Obama is a proponent of the fraudulent endless war on terror because he wants to use the global chaos to finalize the covert establishment of a global fascist government.
President Obama has continued, and, in many areas, advanced the Bush administration’s illegal and undefined global war on terror.
Although he has not consciously used the phrase “global war on terror,” there is no doubt President Obama is fighting this senseless, diabolical, criminal, and evil war in America’s name to accomplish hidden political aims that go against America’s interests.
The mindless global war on terror is not being fought to defend America’s security, but to drive the United States government to bankruptcy and collapse, and make way for the establishment of a new global fascist government.
The Obama administration’s foreign policy is radical, and criminal. It has funded and armed Al-Qaeda terrorists in Libya and Syria to change unfriendly regimes under the guise of supporting democracy activists against their oppressive governments.
And it is also planning to bomb Iran despite not proving their case that Iran is a threat to America.
In his recent article called, “The 0% Doctrine: Obama Breaks New Ground When It Comes to War With Iran,” Tom Engelhardt wrote:
“Whether he meant to or not, in his latest version of Iran war policy President Obama has built on the Bush precedent. His represents, however, an even more extreme version, which should perhaps be labeled the 0% Doctrine.
In holding off a strike that may itself be nothing but a bluff, he has defined a future Iranian decision to build a nuclear weapon as a new form of aggression against the United States. We would, as the president explained to Jeffrey Goldberg, be committing our military power against Iran not to prevent an attack on the U.S. itself, but a nuclear arms race in the Middle East.”
4. President Obama is the new face of imperialism in Africa, and militarizing the continent under the political cover of humanitarianism.
President Obama, who sold himself as a son of Africa, has used his power as the face of the world’s most powerful country to help his financial masters to further loot, rape, divide, and destroy African countries. On March 10, 2012, Tony Cartalucci wrote:
“Today, US Africa Command, known as AFRICOM, is spreading across Africa in the footsteps of Cecil Rhodes. As reported by allAfrica.com, Vice Admiral Moeller at an AFRICOM meeting held at Fort McNair on February 18, 2008 would declare that protecting “the free flow of natural resources from Africa to the global market” was one of AFRICOM’s guiding principles. Of course by “global market,” the admiral means the Fortune 500 corporations of Wall Street and London.
In our politically sensitive modern age, pillaging Africa in the footsteps of shameless and quite racist imperialists is very difficult to do. Therefore, Joseph Kony, Al Qaeda, Qaddafi, starving children, pirates, and every other geopolitical ploy and contrivance imaginable, and some left yet unimagined have been used to justify AFRICOM’s expanding presence on a continent they have no business setting foot on.”
Obama’s African agenda is far from humanitarian. The aim of the Obama administration, AFRICOM, and the Globalist Empire is to destroy and steal from Africa, not assist economic growth and generate prosperity. America is acting as the 21st century version of Attila the Hun and Genghis Khan, who conquered in order to destroy and kill.
5. President Obama is motivated to help attack Iran and start World War III.
President Obama’s opposition to an attack on Iran is done for public consumption. His real, on-the-ground policies are leading to an eventual clash between the United States against Iran. Such an attack would trigger a wider war in the volatile region, accelerate the collapse of the global economy, and draw the world closer to the fires of Hell.
6. President Obama is pursuing policies of de-industrialization and coercive population control against America, and other third-world countries.
The Obama administration has continued the unspoken policy of previous administration to de-industrialize the United States of America. While hiding behind the rhetoric of environmentalism and free trade, top U.S. officials in both parties have worked towards the goal of destroying the U.S. economy.
They have the misguided view that American overconsumption is an economic burden on the rest of the planet, and see their actions of destruction as necessary and beneficial for the long-term health of the planet. Also, they hide the fact that U.S. and Western multinational companies along with the crazy advertisement culture created American overconsumption.
So, in a schizophrenic fashion, the corporate creators of the overconsumption problem are also serving as the destroyers who are executing the solutions, which are de-industrialization, economic depression, and other policies of mass death.
7. President Obama is trying to disarm the American people with fear-mongering tactics, and using back-door tricks to get around public opinion and Congress.
This is another self-evident truth that needs no explanation. I’ll refer you to the Fast and Furious gun-running scandal that went all the way up to Eric Holder’s office and the White House.
8. President Obama is destroying self-sufficient and independent communities inside the United States to prevent active economic and political resistance against the criminally hijacked federal government, multinational corporations, and Agenda 21.
The war against the Amish and independent farmers throughout the United States by the Monsanto-owned FDA is being waged in the name of environmentalism and sustainable development, and it is evil in the most extreme sense of the word.
It is a war against the American people and the free market by multinational corporations that have hijacked the U.S. government and the international regulatory system. Their aim is to completely destroy the independent farmer, free communal marketplaces, and self-sufficient communities in the United States and North America because such entities are economic threats to their bottom line.
9. President Obama is impeding the economic recovery of the United States and advancing the financial oligarchy’s criminal plan to bankrupt the country totally and set up a military dictatorship.
The looting of America by the international financial oligarchs has been continuous, relentless, and absolutely devastating. It is part of a larger economic conquest of Western nations by the banksters, and their political surrogates in the IMF, World Bank, and WTO.
In October 2001, journalist Greg Palast wrote how the IMF’s destruction of Argentina in the early 2000s was a strategically planned operation in an article called, “The Globalizer Who Came In From the Cold.” Palast warned on the Alex Jones show in 2002 that the IMF’s economic model of looting and consolidation would be copied in America and the West.
And the warning is coming true as America and Western civilization fall deeper into an economic crisis, with the IMF looming over every nation like a bird of death.
The solution to a financially engineered crisis that Palast offered was,“remove the bloodsuckers.” By contrast, President Obama and the treacherous U.S. political elite are offering military dictatorship as a solution because they work for the financial bloodsuckers.
On the eve of 2012, President Obama demanded that the Congress give him the power to indefinitely detain American citizens without proof or trial. But this power-grab only scratches the surface.
The despotic power of illegal detention is one tool among many that will be used against the American people to defend the NATO/UN military dictatorship over America and North America. President Obama also says he has the right to kill American citizens based on the authority of his office. In other words, President Barack Obama is death personified.
10. President Obama is waging a total war against humanity for the benefit of his Satanic Globalist Overlords.
Again, no explanation is needed. There should be no controversy about Obama’s birthplace. He is from the dark pits of Hell. With his evil actions he has shown himself to be a son of Satan.
III. Words of Warning, Words of Truth, Words of Power
At the end of his film, ‘The Obama Deception,’ Alex Jones said:
“In summation, Barack Obama is a Madison-Avenue created fad. All of the crazed Obama worship being pushed by the corporate media is scientifically designed to capture the public in a net of peer pressure mass euphoria. If the new world order can just distract the public for a few more years, the elite can finish constructing their police state control grid.
Barack Obama is the perfect Trojan Horse. He makes the people feel like they finally have a place at the table, even as he betrays them. Sadly, many Obama supporters can’t see what’s right in front of their faces because they’ve already invested their very identity in this artificially created cult movement. Throughout history, it has happened over and over again. People turn their intellect over to cult of personality mass movements, and it’s happening again.
The evidence presented in this film is documented fact. And those that ignore what history has taught us do so at the peril of us all. As frightening as the information in this film is, there are many things we can do to stop the globalist agenda dead in its tracks.
First, we expose the cult of Obama for what it is: a sad hoax. Next, realize that we are all being propagandized, 24/7. Investigate all information for yourself, be it political parties, the media, or this film. Be aware of the tricks that the elite use like the staging of false flag terror attacks and other crises.
Rediscover the Constitution and Bill of Rights. Promote a culture of true liberty. There is a reason why the internationalists are attempting to destroy the sovereignty of all 50 states. They know it is one of the biggest threats to their domination. The federal government has been completely hijacked by foreign interest, and more than 25 states have recognized this fact and are moving to block the New World Order at the state level by declaring their 10th Amendment powers.
But most important of all, there is a huge awakening taking place in the United States and across the world against the globalist agenda. Free people everywhere are joining together and saying no to corruption and tyranny, and no to world government.”
Those words ring more true now than they did in 2009. President Obama’s own actions have demonstrated the truth of the observations and assertions that were made in The Obama Deception.
Far from being wild, crazy, and conspiratorial, The Obama Deception is now regarded as ahead of its time in its political diagnosis of Barack Obama and the United States. It is truth-telling at its most noblest.
Abraham Lincoln said, “Truth is generally the best vindication against slander.” The truth that is in The Obama Deception has stood up against all forms of mindless attacks because it is secure in the firm soil of understanding, history, and common sense. Truth requires no defense, only affirmation.
The dictatorship of lies, myths, and frauds that has come into being in America is politically weak because it stands on the frail ground of state propaganda, mental oppression, and the rejection of history.
Sooner or later the official statements by the U.S. government will be received as absurd fiction by all, and its spellbinding power over the American mind will vanish into air.
The propagandistic film went viral because of its sensationalism and commercialism, not because it was telling the truth and making a worthy difference in the discourse of international politics and the situation in Uganda.
Invisible Children, the group behind the film, has been described as cult-like and clueless by many experts such as Stephen Lewis, a Canadian diplomat and UN envoy to Africa.
We can learn three things from the globalist-run “KONY 2012″ propaganda campaign that is now viewed as an epic disaster after its creator went berserk in public and smashed his fists on the pavement while naked.
One, viral political films must be treated with deep skepticism and caution because their creators are not the final authority on truth and reality.
Second, if discredited politicians, journalists, and organizations promote the film then it is likely that the political cause the film is pushing on viewers is not egalitarian and just.
And three, the massive recognition and popularity of a political film is not an indication of its objectivity, sincerity, and authenticity.
MUST VIEW TRUTHS
Several other political films have went viral on the Internet in the past. The two biggest ones are Peter Joseph’s Zeitgeist, and Alex Jones’s The Obama Deception. Unlike the KONY 2012 film, those films were not funded by large foundations and did not promote militarization and state violence as solutions.The documentary, “The Obama Deception,” released in March 2009, has been watched 30-40 million times in the last three years, whether on the Internet, or in DVD format. And that is a conservative estimate.
At the time, critics said that the film made wild and conspiratorial claims about Barack Obama’s presidency, the United States government, and Wall Street.
But those critics are silent now.
In 2012, the film’s controversial claims can be measured and fact-checked based on three years of hard data, evidence, and official statements by members of the Obama administration.
II. From Controversy To Consent: The Rising Political Relevance of ‘The Obama Deception’
The ten biggest claims that were made in ‘The Obama Deception,’ according to my reading of the film, are listed below, followed by a brief explanation of why they are true, when necessary.
1. President Obama is a puppet who is owned by the parasitic financial community.
This statement needs no explanation. It is self-evident.
2. President Obama is dedicated to the overthrow of America’s constitutional republic.
President Obama told Congress in May 2011 that America’s bombing of Libya was authorized by the United Nations, and that Congress had no say in the matter.
More recently, Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta informed Senator Jeff Sessions and the Senate that the U.S. military answers to the international bankers behind the new world order, United Nations, and NATO, not the U.S. congress or the American people.
3. President Obama is a proponent of the fraudulent endless war on terror because he wants to use the global chaos to finalize the covert establishment of a global fascist government.
President Obama has continued, and, in many areas, advanced the Bush administration’s illegal and undefined global war on terror.
Although he has not consciously used the phrase “global war on terror,” there is no doubt President Obama is fighting this senseless, diabolical, criminal, and evil war in America’s name to accomplish hidden political aims that go against America’s interests.
The mindless global war on terror is not being fought to defend America’s security, but to drive the United States government to bankruptcy and collapse, and make way for the establishment of a new global fascist government.
The Obama administration’s foreign policy is radical, and criminal. It has funded and armed Al-Qaeda terrorists in Libya and Syria to change unfriendly regimes under the guise of supporting democracy activists against their oppressive governments.
And it is also planning to bomb Iran despite not proving their case that Iran is a threat to America.
In his recent article called, “The 0% Doctrine: Obama Breaks New Ground When It Comes to War With Iran,” Tom Engelhardt wrote:
“Whether he meant to or not, in his latest version of Iran war policy President Obama has built on the Bush precedent. His represents, however, an even more extreme version, which should perhaps be labeled the 0% Doctrine.
In holding off a strike that may itself be nothing but a bluff, he has defined a future Iranian decision to build a nuclear weapon as a new form of aggression against the United States. We would, as the president explained to Jeffrey Goldberg, be committing our military power against Iran not to prevent an attack on the U.S. itself, but a nuclear arms race in the Middle East.”
4. President Obama is the new face of imperialism in Africa, and militarizing the continent under the political cover of humanitarianism.
President Obama, who sold himself as a son of Africa, has used his power as the face of the world’s most powerful country to help his financial masters to further loot, rape, divide, and destroy African countries. On March 10, 2012, Tony Cartalucci wrote:
“Today, US Africa Command, known as AFRICOM, is spreading across Africa in the footsteps of Cecil Rhodes. As reported by allAfrica.com, Vice Admiral Moeller at an AFRICOM meeting held at Fort McNair on February 18, 2008 would declare that protecting “the free flow of natural resources from Africa to the global market” was one of AFRICOM’s guiding principles. Of course by “global market,” the admiral means the Fortune 500 corporations of Wall Street and London.
In our politically sensitive modern age, pillaging Africa in the footsteps of shameless and quite racist imperialists is very difficult to do. Therefore, Joseph Kony, Al Qaeda, Qaddafi, starving children, pirates, and every other geopolitical ploy and contrivance imaginable, and some left yet unimagined have been used to justify AFRICOM’s expanding presence on a continent they have no business setting foot on.”
Obama’s African agenda is far from humanitarian. The aim of the Obama administration, AFRICOM, and the Globalist Empire is to destroy and steal from Africa, not assist economic growth and generate prosperity. America is acting as the 21st century version of Attila the Hun and Genghis Khan, who conquered in order to destroy and kill.
5. President Obama is motivated to help attack Iran and start World War III.
President Obama’s opposition to an attack on Iran is done for public consumption. His real, on-the-ground policies are leading to an eventual clash between the United States against Iran. Such an attack would trigger a wider war in the volatile region, accelerate the collapse of the global economy, and draw the world closer to the fires of Hell.
6. President Obama is pursuing policies of de-industrialization and coercive population control against America, and other third-world countries.
The Obama administration has continued the unspoken policy of previous administration to de-industrialize the United States of America. While hiding behind the rhetoric of environmentalism and free trade, top U.S. officials in both parties have worked towards the goal of destroying the U.S. economy.
They have the misguided view that American overconsumption is an economic burden on the rest of the planet, and see their actions of destruction as necessary and beneficial for the long-term health of the planet. Also, they hide the fact that U.S. and Western multinational companies along with the crazy advertisement culture created American overconsumption.
So, in a schizophrenic fashion, the corporate creators of the overconsumption problem are also serving as the destroyers who are executing the solutions, which are de-industrialization, economic depression, and other policies of mass death.
7. President Obama is trying to disarm the American people with fear-mongering tactics, and using back-door tricks to get around public opinion and Congress.
This is another self-evident truth that needs no explanation. I’ll refer you to the Fast and Furious gun-running scandal that went all the way up to Eric Holder’s office and the White House.
8. President Obama is destroying self-sufficient and independent communities inside the United States to prevent active economic and political resistance against the criminally hijacked federal government, multinational corporations, and Agenda 21.
The war against the Amish and independent farmers throughout the United States by the Monsanto-owned FDA is being waged in the name of environmentalism and sustainable development, and it is evil in the most extreme sense of the word.
It is a war against the American people and the free market by multinational corporations that have hijacked the U.S. government and the international regulatory system. Their aim is to completely destroy the independent farmer, free communal marketplaces, and self-sufficient communities in the United States and North America because such entities are economic threats to their bottom line.
9. President Obama is impeding the economic recovery of the United States and advancing the financial oligarchy’s criminal plan to bankrupt the country totally and set up a military dictatorship.
The looting of America by the international financial oligarchs has been continuous, relentless, and absolutely devastating. It is part of a larger economic conquest of Western nations by the banksters, and their political surrogates in the IMF, World Bank, and WTO.
In October 2001, journalist Greg Palast wrote how the IMF’s destruction of Argentina in the early 2000s was a strategically planned operation in an article called, “The Globalizer Who Came In From the Cold.” Palast warned on the Alex Jones show in 2002 that the IMF’s economic model of looting and consolidation would be copied in America and the West.
And the warning is coming true as America and Western civilization fall deeper into an economic crisis, with the IMF looming over every nation like a bird of death.
The solution to a financially engineered crisis that Palast offered was,“remove the bloodsuckers.” By contrast, President Obama and the treacherous U.S. political elite are offering military dictatorship as a solution because they work for the financial bloodsuckers.
On the eve of 2012, President Obama demanded that the Congress give him the power to indefinitely detain American citizens without proof or trial. But this power-grab only scratches the surface.
The despotic power of illegal detention is one tool among many that will be used against the American people to defend the NATO/UN military dictatorship over America and North America. President Obama also says he has the right to kill American citizens based on the authority of his office. In other words, President Barack Obama is death personified.
10. President Obama is waging a total war against humanity for the benefit of his Satanic Globalist Overlords.
Again, no explanation is needed. There should be no controversy about Obama’s birthplace. He is from the dark pits of Hell. With his evil actions he has shown himself to be a son of Satan.
III. Words of Warning, Words of Truth, Words of Power
At the end of his film, ‘The Obama Deception,’ Alex Jones said:
“In summation, Barack Obama is a Madison-Avenue created fad. All of the crazed Obama worship being pushed by the corporate media is scientifically designed to capture the public in a net of peer pressure mass euphoria. If the new world order can just distract the public for a few more years, the elite can finish constructing their police state control grid.
Barack Obama is the perfect Trojan Horse. He makes the people feel like they finally have a place at the table, even as he betrays them. Sadly, many Obama supporters can’t see what’s right in front of their faces because they’ve already invested their very identity in this artificially created cult movement. Throughout history, it has happened over and over again. People turn their intellect over to cult of personality mass movements, and it’s happening again.
The evidence presented in this film is documented fact. And those that ignore what history has taught us do so at the peril of us all. As frightening as the information in this film is, there are many things we can do to stop the globalist agenda dead in its tracks.
First, we expose the cult of Obama for what it is: a sad hoax. Next, realize that we are all being propagandized, 24/7. Investigate all information for yourself, be it political parties, the media, or this film. Be aware of the tricks that the elite use like the staging of false flag terror attacks and other crises.
Rediscover the Constitution and Bill of Rights. Promote a culture of true liberty. There is a reason why the internationalists are attempting to destroy the sovereignty of all 50 states. They know it is one of the biggest threats to their domination. The federal government has been completely hijacked by foreign interest, and more than 25 states have recognized this fact and are moving to block the New World Order at the state level by declaring their 10th Amendment powers.
But most important of all, there is a huge awakening taking place in the United States and across the world against the globalist agenda. Free people everywhere are joining together and saying no to corruption and tyranny, and no to world government.”
Those words ring more true now than they did in 2009. President Obama’s own actions have demonstrated the truth of the observations and assertions that were made in The Obama Deception.
Far from being wild, crazy, and conspiratorial, The Obama Deception is now regarded as ahead of its time in its political diagnosis of Barack Obama and the United States. It is truth-telling at its most noblest.
Abraham Lincoln said, “Truth is generally the best vindication against slander.” The truth that is in The Obama Deception has stood up against all forms of mindless attacks because it is secure in the firm soil of understanding, history, and common sense. Truth requires no defense, only affirmation.
The dictatorship of lies, myths, and frauds that has come into being in America is politically weak because it stands on the frail ground of state propaganda, mental oppression, and the rejection of history.
Sooner or later the official statements by the U.S. government will be received as absurd fiction by all, and its spellbinding power over the American mind will vanish into air.
Iran Unimpressed With Bully Tactics Of Warmonger USA
Former Intelligence Minister Ali Falahian, Iran’s senior spokesman on sanctions, said that if the US and Europe think they can ignore international law to promote their interests, they should know that Iran will respond in kind everywhere it can.
“I suggest that the West take seriously our threat to close the Strait of Hormuz,” he said in Tehran’s first response to the SWIFT decision to sever ties with Iranian banks to enforce European sanctions on its nuclear program.
A large fleet of 4 US and French nuclear aircraft carriers and a dozen or more minesweepers and mine-hunting helicopters have piled up on both sides of the Strait of Hormuz, through which 17 percent of the world’s daily oil supply passes, and naval vessels have deployed in the Red Sea.
DEBKAfile’s military and intelligence sources estimate Tehran may make good on its threats by trying to drop sea mines in the strategic strait and/or the approaches to the huge Saudi Ras Tanura oil export terminal. A small explosion by an unknown hand hit a major Saudi pipeline between Awamiya and Safwa on March 1.
The damage was not great because the saboteurs used a small quantity of explosive but it appeared to be the work of (Criminals In Action) professionals.
While Saudi officials denied the incident, photos of a large fire appeared on the Internet. Gulf oil sources suspect that it was a warning from Tehran of the hazards facing the world’s largest oil exporter.
The SWIFT cutoff of ties with Iranian banks has gone a long way toward isolating Iran from global commerce. It will affect Iranian oil sales to its biggest customers in the Far East, China and Japan, as well as India.
The economic noose tightening around its neck is bound to produce a response from Iran, it is estimated in Washington and European capitals.
The US-led European sanctions on Iranian oil world trade were boosted in recent weeks by the United Arab Emirates which stopped handling Iranian rials, further reducing its ability to trade and obtain hard currency.
