Propaganda nougat
Alex Jones’ political-manifesto movie, “The Obama Deception” is sort of like a chocolate-covered candy with a propaganda-nougat center.
I like the commentary from KRS One. I also agree with everything I heard from Gerlad Celente of the Trends Institute. And some of what historian Webster Tarpley and filmmaker Alex Jones say makes sense. We need major financial reform in this country and around the world, no doubt. Some of our problems have to do with good laws, like Glass-Steagall, being reversed. A lot of our problems have to do with the Military-Industrial Complex. And a lot of “Surprise!”-problems popped up due to the hands-off-the-wheel-style of financial regulation by the Bush White House and its Securities and Exchange Commission. The Bush administration condoned the subprime mortgages being sold as stocks and allowed AIG to take billion-dollar bets with money it didn’t have in real assets. The Bush team also started an illegitimate war in Iraq, which cost $700 billion (so far), and which is the same price tag–$700 billion–for the bailout of the Wall Street banks by Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson, former CEO of Goldman Sachs.
It really is too intertwined…Wall Street and the White House. I’d like to see Timothy Geithner replaced as Treasury Secretary, as I have stated before.
But here’s the Cande…to accuse Barack Obama of being a puppet of the Wall Street banks is to blame him for cleaning up the mess left by George W. Bush. It is conjecture and exaggeration to claim that this former community organizer and man of the people (Obama is no rich scion, like W.), is manipulating the levers of power to benefit the Oligarchy at the expense of the majority of Americans.
Time will tell if President Barack Obama worked to benefit the majority of Americans. He still has time on his side.
