Those
who trust in myth are always ultimately betrayed by the
fruition of reality.
U.S. president Barack Obama is the zenith of the insipid
embodiment of the actualization of 21st century plantation
politics. His actions belie his dazzling,
yet insidiously treacherous, displays of rhetorical
adroitness. Not only are we Black people in the U.S. and elsewhere
the victims of his treachery, but disenfranchised people of all
colors are on the proverbial chopping block economically and politically,
as he faithfully serves the de facto interests of his corporate
/ military puppet masters.
It
is apparently not enough that the U. S. corporate / military elite
(with the complicity of the ever-willing corporate media) have
successfully installed Barack Obama as their �potent weapon,�
but there are a plethora of additional bourgeois biologically
black mental mulattos ranging from U.S. Attorney General
Eric Holder and Philadelphia District Attorney Seth Williams,
to the (�those cops must not know who I am�) �scholar�
Henry Louis Gates, Jr. [to name but a few] who eagerly and shamefully
assist Barack Obama in his subterfuge and economic and political
treachery against the disenfranchised masses of every
day people throughout this nation and world.
The
fact is that the United States of America is,
economically and politically, one gigantic corporate / military
plantation. It is a corporate plutocracy wherein the people have
been, and are, constantly being relegated to the role of de facto
slaves in subordination to the corporate / military elite. Just
as during the period of blatant, physical, black slave
plantations in this nation, so it is today that the present 21st
century hustle is to sophisticate and rebrand
this very real slavery; this time in the name of fake �change�
and unrealistic, debilitating, non-actualized �hope� under
the misguidance of this bourgeois mental mulatto,
descendant of slave holders, Barack Obama. Though the masses
of every day Black, Brown, and Red peoples continue to be quite
clearly on the very bottom rung of this present economic
and political plantation, we are by no means the only slaves on
this plantation. Indeed disenfranchised people of all
colors are now its slaves, and the same old, well rehearsed game
of divide-and-conquer is being methodically and systematically
employed by the corporate / military elite of Whites and Blacks,
etc. on Plantation �America.� Make no mistake about this!
As
Barack Obama continues to shamelessly lie to the people of this
nation and world, his political policies and actions serve to,
in fact irreparably worsen, the predicament of every day
people!
As
the prolific writer Stephen Lendman so correctly and precisely
wrote concerning Barack Obama, in his recent article titled, Obama�s
Outreach to Americans: Empty Rhetoric, Business As Usual:
He
presides over a bogus democracy under a homeland police state
apparatus, embraces torture and political persecution like his
predecessor, and continues unbridled militarism, imperial wars,
and a shocking disregard for the law.
A
January 27 Dana Priest Washington Post article revealed
a secret Obama �hit list,� the same policy George Bush
authorized to kill U.S. citizens abroad claimed to be supporting
terrorism �against the United States or U.S. interests,� whether
or not it�s true.
He
looted the federal Treasury for Wall Street, plans new monetary
measures to control the world�s money, and favors hand outs to
the rich at the expense of beneficial social change.
He
embraces the same Bush administration policies, targets
dissenters, Muslims, Latino immigrants, environmental and animal
rights activists, and lawyers who defend them too vigorously.
He
spies illegally on Americans, destroyed decades of hard won labor
rights, wants public education privatized as another business
profit center, and scorns democracy in favor of hard-line rule.
He
backs rationing health care, destroying Medicare, and enriching
insurers, drug companies and large hospital chains. He wants legislation
passed to empower agribusiness, let corporate polluters reap huge
windfall profits by raising energy costs, and create a speculative
bonanza for Wall Street with a new carbon trading derivatives
scheme.
He
wants all Americans monitored with a national ID card, favors
preventive detention for uncharged detainees, and opposes protection
for whistleblowers and journalists to protect their identity.
He
ignores growing poverty, hunger and homelessness, refuses help
for budget-strapped states, and chooses rhetoric, theater,
deceit and cynicism, not progressive change to address
a national emergency.�
As
if the above indictments are not already horrible enough, Obama
also knows that he is pumping at least fifty billion
dollars in subsidies into the financial chests of the corporate
nuclear industry�s elite, while he simultaneously rhetorically
misleads the every day people with talk of supposedly backing
away from continuing and expanding dangerous nuclear power. Obama
knows all of these things described
above. Do you?
The
aforementioned is the enormously dangerous and real Barack
Obama, versus the mythical one who is adorned and adored
by the vast majority of the corporate media.
Thus,
no one should be shocked at Obama�s appointment of George �the
Butcher� Bush and Bill �the Sleaze� Clinton
to head the actual corporate / military occupation of the
earthquake devastated Haiti,
masquerading under the cynical guise of �humanitarian aid.�
After all, subterfuge is Obama�s game. It always has been.
These
ongoing, daily horrors are being methodically carried out [virtually
in plain view] by the Obama / Biden / Rahm Emanuel clique against
Black, White, Brown, Red, and Yellow peoples in this nation and
throughout the world.
While
liberals, so-called �progressives,� pretend-leftists, and
bourgeois biologically black mental mulattos continue to make
endless excuses for this pro apartheid Zionist Obama / Biden /
Rahm Emanuel regime, we must never, not even for an
instant, chew on or swallow the constant deception, rhetoric,
subterfuge, and disinformation by said administration.
Enough is really enough!
It
is we, and only we the people, who can and must
free ourselves from this mental and concomitant economic
and political manipulation and bondage in and on Plantation
�America.� Time to wake up
and get off the plantation!
Onward
now sisters and brothers. Onward!
