What better way to obliterate the political and social consciousness of the populace of the United Sates than to develop and utilize a presidential stealth political candidate who could psychologically penetrate and annihilate the critical thinking and analytical capacities and defense mechanisms of virtually the entire population.

Yet, perhaps the greatest irony in all of this, even in the midst of continued U.S. corporate domination and greed and its concomitant austerity of joblessness, home foreclosures, homelessness, etc. against the masses of everyday Black, White, Brown, Red, and Yellow people, is the active presence of the chief executive of the U.S. Empire�s stealth �predator drone missile� U.S. president, Barack Obama himself.

History will show that Barack Obama brought legalized fascism to this nation, not only by his support for the so-called �Patriot Act� and �Extraordinary Rendition,� but also most tellingly by his signing into law the draconian and anti-Constitutional legislation known as the National Defense Authorization Act on New Year�s Eve, 2011, which provides for the indefinite detention and disappearance of U.S. citizens in this nation without charge, trial, or legal defense, etc. This is both despicable and utterly inexcusable. Its ramifications have, in essence, made the outrages of the infamous COINTELPRO program legal, and we are now in a legalized police-state in this nation.
