Blatant American Hypocrisy

American Hypocrisy
“For years I
labored with the idea of reforming the existing institutions of society, a little
change here, a little change there. Now I feel quite differently. I think
you’ve got to have a reconstruction of the entire society, a revolution of
values.” - Martin Luther King Jr. Inconvenient Hero, p. 98 -
President
Obama's remarks at the United Nations on September 28th demonstrated how depraved and psychopathic the
rulers of this nation are. Posturing and justifying policies of invasion,
rapine, pillage and plunder Obama's message of American Exceptionalism set for
all the world to see just how hypocritical, insane and megalomaniacal this
nation is.
The United States of America
is by far the most imperialistic nation on the planet, bar none! The American
Empire has over six hundred sixty military bases in thirty eight counties not
counting the covert ops stations and positions the number of which are not
public knowledge. These bases and covert
ops do not exist as "A global force for good" like the TV commercials
for the US Navy proclaim. Rather they are there to impose US hegemony, intimidate foreign
governments, facilitate the extraction of raw materials, give US corporations unfettered
access to minerals and markets and control crucial geostrategic areas.
But in his
delusion or hubris Obama stood before the United Nations General Assembly on
September 28 and had the audacity to utter lies such as these, "Indeed, I
believe that in today’s world, the measure of strength is no longer defined by
the control of territory. Lasting prosperity does not come solely from
the ability to access and extract raw materials. The strength of nations
depends on the success of their people -- their knowledge, their innovation,
their imagination, their creativity, their drive, their opportunity -- and
that, in turn, depends upon individual rights and good governance and personal
security. Internal repression and foreign aggression are both symptoms of
the failure to provide this foundation."
This was uttered
by the man who allowed, facilitated and covered up the plunder of the US economy by
the largest banks, hedge funds and special interests. Where is his concern for
the US people's prosperity who lost trillions of personal wealth because of
Wall Street greed and fraud?
Those words
were actually said with a straight face by the man who uses drone technology to
kill more innocent people around the world than any other leader on the planet,
like the hospital the US and
NATO just bombed in Afghanistan !
Under Obama the US has
destabilized whole swaths of territory in Yemen ,
Libya , Pakistan , Iraq ,
Ukraine and now Syria .
Obama the consummate puppet of the 1% actually formed his mouth to say Russia annexed Crimea and call Russia an
aggressor nation. "That same
fidelity to international order guides our responses to other challenges around
the world. Consider Russia ’s
annexation of Crimea and further aggression in eastern Ukraine . America has few economic interests in Ukraine .
We recognize the deep and complex history between Russia and Ukraine . But we cannot stand
by when the sovereignty and territorial integrity of a nation is flagrantly
violated. If that happens without consequence in Ukraine , it
could happen to any nation gathered here today. That’s the basis of the
sanctions that the United States
and our partners impose on Russia .
It's not a desire to return to a Cold War.
Now, within
Russia , state-controlled
media may describe these events as an example of a resurgent Russia -- a view shared, by the way, by a number
of U.S. politicians and
commentators who have always been deeply skeptical of Russia , and
seem to be convinced a new Cold War is, in fact, upon us. And yet, look
at the results. The Ukrainian people are more interested than ever in
aligning with Europe instead of Russia .
Sanctions have led to capital flight, a contracting economy, a fallen ruble,
and the emigration of more educated Russians. Imagine if, instead, Russia had engaged in true diplomacy, and worked
with Ukraine
and the international community to ensure its interests were protected.
That would be better for Ukraine ,
but also better for Russia ,
and better for the world -- which is why we continue to press for this crisis
to be resolved in a way that allows a sovereign and democratic Ukraine to
determine its future and control its territory. Not because we want to
isolate Russia -- we don't
-- but because we want a strong Russia
that’s invested in working with us to strengthen the international system as a
whole."
This from
the man who gave the okay to spend over five billion dollars of US taxpayers money to topple the elected
government of Ukraine !
This from the country where corporate and government propaganda rule where
telling the truth is a criminal act almost. Obama was so brazen with his lies
he overlooked the fact that in this day of Internet access and fact checking,
the truth can be secured and discerned within minutes with little or no effort.
Russia did not annex Crimea,
the Crimean people voted to rejoin the Russian federation ! The fact of the
matter is the US was behind
the 2014 coup that put Neo-Nazis in power in Ukraine .
Go to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b3mgnnhIYWI
to hear the leaked audio of US
Undersecretary of State Victoria Nuland and Geoff Pyatt the US Envoy to Ukraine going over the details of
which puppet they wanted to install in power. Keep in mind, Nuland and Pyatt were not acting
or speaking on their own, they had the tacit backing of Obama and his handlers!
Obama had
the audacity to call out Vladimir Putin and lie about Putin's attempts to
broker peace in Ukraine and Syria when the US and NATO unilaterally bombed Libya without a formal
declaration of war or UN mandate and the US has been working to undermine the
cease fire Russia, Germany and France brokered in Ukraine to further
destabilize that country. The results of this and US policies in Yemen and Syria
are directly responsible for the suffering, trauma and the refugee situation in
Europe now.
We need to
wake up and see our government as the vampires, psychopaths and thugs they are.
What Malcolm X and Martin Luther King said over fifty years ago about US oppression
and imperialism still ring true. In a speech in Ghana
in 1964 Malcolm said, "Anytime you think that America is the land of the free,
you come there and take off your national dress and be mistaken for an American
Negro, and you will find out you’re not in the land of the free. America is a
colonial power. She is just as much a colonial power in 1964 as France , Britain ,
Portugal ,
and all these other European countries were in 1864. She’s a twentieth-century
colonial power; she’s a modern colonial power, and she has colonized twenty-two
million African-Americans. While there are only eleven million Africans
colonized in South Africa ,
four or five million colonized in Angola ,
there are twenty-two million Africans colonized in America right now on May 13, 1964.
What is second-class citizenship if nothing but twentieth-century colonialism?
They don’t want you to know that slavery still exists, so rather than call it
slavery they call it second-class citizenship." http://malcolmxfiles.blogspot.com/2013/07/university-of-ghana-may-13-1964_1.html
Malcolm knew the real deal about America and he boldly spoke truth
to power.
Martin
Luther King Jr also was well aware of US imperialism around the world. He
said, " God didn't call on America
to engage in a senseless, unjust war in Vietnam . And we are criminals in that war. We've
committed more war crimes almost than any other nation in the world and I'm
going to continue to say it. And we won't stop it because of our pride and
arrogance as a nation."
Their words
are a stark contrast to the lies and fabrications of Barak Obama at the UN but
their words are just as true today as they were when they uttered them over
fifty years ago. Don't go for the okey-doke or fall for the US flim-flam.
