no visa Nobel committee has decided that the Nobel Peace Prize for two thousand nine is to be avoided to press den barackobama drone strikes in Pakistan the surge in Afghanistan the bombing of Libya aiding terrorists in Syria crippling sanctions on Iran the Asia Pacific pivot here in twenty fourteen the Nobel committee's two thousand nine decision to award Obama with the peace prize seems like some sort2/27
of sick joke but then to those who are warning that Obama was just a fresh face for the same oligarchical interests that bush should served so well in the years before him the hope and change pandemonium of the two thousand eight selection cycle was always a sick joke one look at the largest donor still Obama's campaign was enough to confirm exactly who he was working for3/27
and exactly what type of hope and change the public could expect so why did people believe in it so fervently surely wishful thinking played a role a public that I just survived eight years of bush era insanity could perhaps be forgiven for desiring change so desperately that they were willing to see it in Barack Obama a clean slate upon which they could project whatever fantasies they4/27
wished but the problem is deeper than that as we examine the last week on the eye opener the fraudulent left right political divide has been used to keep the people divided against each other even as it is used to dupe the public into supporting the very same political agenda through puppet administration after puppet administration perhaps nowhere is this process of divide and rule quite so transparent5/27
as it is in the so called antiwar movement of the last decade at the height of the bush administration scores gathered for protests marches rallies in acts of civil disobedience to decry the acts of torture abuse and violence being perpetrated by the Pentagon in the name of the war on terror at the time the movement was dismissed by the Talking Heads on the right side of6/27
the political aisle as being little more than an anti bush movement frightened by the high class loads across Pennsylvania Avenue if we stop being stereotypically good soldiers and good Americans if we do it history demands in this critical hour we can get our troops home now we can put an end to the suffering and so are crimes Megan began to absolve our complicity and we can7/27
get chart wars as it turns out they were largely right after the election of Obama in two thousand eight the driving impotence of the anti war movement evaporated no longer did it matter that the wars covert operations military tribunals in prison torture camps were continuing in fact it did not even matter that American military involvement escalated with the Obama hand over expanding into Pakistan and Yemen8/27
involving more drone strikes an extra judicial assassinations this was after all a Democrat and so many on the antiwar left were appeased groups like veterans for peace which it so loudly and so admirably called for the impeachment of bush for his participation in war crimes and atrocities have been happy to look the other way while their guy in the White House forwards the very same agenda9/27
last year I had the chance to talk to famed activist and writer Larry Pinkney a veteran of the original Black Panther party about the process by which the antiwar movement was coopted and ultimately squashed by the left right political fraud you know there were a hundred of thousands if not more people who write your free protest bid against the how worried service actions by the GW10/27
bush regime however the same people or Mickey out there and if not most of them have a big problem deafening we saw island about not only what are Obama's head start in terms of charity aren't these are bush Cheney policies but the fact that Obama has experienced it deep policy throughout me be specific I'm talking specifically about our good strongly missiles were he's killing at well11/27
people in other countries that we hold dear killing them you that includes our daily treats babies when our children need and old and you are I'm also talking about the NDA every sex sin opera prison ten twenty one of the can do you a Jedi Arnold where Obama has the power to bar to a rat chill US citizens which is you've got it quite frankly whether12/27
people mortar not he's done and abroad our but you can kill them now or kill us now %HESITATION on U. S. soil probably it has been done before but it has become a little weak products spotted by the Obama are are are Richie and you know I just you know giving up got up a few things as to peek out worried your our atrocity that this13/27
man does is it's commit this man and his minions you by no means alone are they are committing against every day ordinary people of this nation and all the world so when we think of BNP Eddie I think when we picked up a silhouette his temperament skill where every Tuesday deciding who am I going to kill to to Haiti when we think of the fact that14/27
our obamacare approximately five years ago restrict most are you did separately receding you beat Nobel Peace Prize Reebok track folks go Nobel Peace Prize and yet you go home well monitoring well monitoring twelve wouldn't probably be denounced war mongering president that that this nation has ever had we need to get real waited to be honest with you to step out and say no narrower objects hitting15/27
secretary as vexing is this endless cycle of left wing and right wing warmongering is this sick joke is set to be played on the public yet again and what's worse it seems to be working yet again this time it's the Republicans who are pretending to play the role of savior putting up a mock opposition to the worst abuses of Obama there were protestations over the way16/27
Obama bypassed Congress to start the war in Libya it is now official Republican platform policy to decry illegal NSA surveillance is an abrogation of fundamental rights but come November twenty sixteen after the next predetermined rig phony American coronation spectacle plays itself out in a man or woman within our next to his name is inevitably installed in office the Republicans will once again be fine with any17/27
level of presumed presidential authority and the Democrats will once again pretend to be concerned about executive overreach and the public relieved to have thrown the rascals out yet again will be content for another four or eight years until the next time they decide to throw out the rascals and so history repeats and repeats and repeats and repeats and yet there are reasons to believe that this18/27
time can be different as Larry Pinkney highlighted last year there are concrete steps that the public can take to help transition away from the left right too awfully and toward a system where people collaborate and act in their shared interest against the wishes of the war mongering ruling class yeah what ourselves we begin by understanding that the corporate streaming media are not getting more apparent propaganda19/27
arms although we beat the power it gives you a good system we must walk critic eight are already everyday people media we must look through that media and not only look to it but P. energy take roll Clark of that everyday people media are past shall our only story in other words tell our own narrative to number two we have to do patterns Joe hill to20/27
extremes activist the late Joe you know many years ago said we're not sloppy warranty because you know it's not a problem morning and only our it down all gonna knock it to borrow organized it it's about reaching out to each other dispensing with that piece fake left right paradigm labels ten struggling together collectively for our car only illiterates as everyday ordinary people appointed for but we21/27
have to understand that the power you need the responsibility for this insanity west where us everyday black white blonde red and yellow people in this country ten through how we honor our group I don't know well so the older tunes rigidity points but what she does he mean I agree we don't have to wait for any you can do that immediately because it began work ourselves22/27
what's more there is reason to believe that this is actually happening no more stunning example of a genuine grassroots peoples antiwar movement can be identified than the spontaneous mobilization we saw in the wake of the false flag chemical weapons attack in Syria last August it was the grassroots alternative media that raise the alarm about the push to war and the U. S. British manipulation of intelligence23/27
to try to lay the blame for the attack on Assad's doorstep it was mass mobilization and anti war campaigning that derailed the war drive and forced Obama to back off from sending troops into yet another war theater and it was this intense public backlash that ultimately shamed the administration into taking prudence face saving deal compared to the mass carnage that has been inflicted in Iraq Afghanistan24/27
Libya and elsewhere over the past decade the version of the Syrian war may seem like a small victory but none the less is a victory and has to be recognized as such the fact that NATO did not begin the bombing of Syria in twenty thirteen may prove to be the beginning of a title change of resistance to the imperial bank stir driven war agenda of the25/27
war mongers on the left and right sides of the phony political divide or it might turn out to be a momentary blip on the otherwise unimpeded journey toward a state of total war the people might go back to their mainstream news believing their mainstream lies voting for their mainstream political parties and thinking that as long as it's our guy in office everything will be okay again26/27
in the end the choice is ours to make but with more on a random to World War three scenario involving China and Russia looming on the horizon the time to make that choice may be running out he was brought to you by the subscribers of boiling frog post dot com for more information on this and other topics please go to boiling trucks pose dot com for
