Frankly, sometimes i don't see how or why the US should be spared the karmic payback of grief, heartache, disaster, violence, misery, agony and horror that the US Inc. has lavishly gifted on scores of nations and their people just over the past 30 years even -- and which injury in a vast array of kinds have been committed under the banner of multiple scores of claimed worthy, honorable, noble, righteous and even presumed 'selfless' causes (from liberation to protection to humanitarian 'relief').
It seems only about one out of ten (or perhaps closer to 1 out of 20? Less?) Americans really see these wars & conflicts for the unspeakable crimes against humanity which they are -- and the absolute epitome of hypocritical dishonesty that is a betrayal of America's most core values & principles. The calculated duplicity of America's wars of aggression & territorial expansion, part of the Imperialist agenda that has imposed neoliberalism on an ever-larger near-majority of the world, has sabotaged peace, liberty, justice, equality, honesty, trust, dignity, honour, human rights and civil society on such a scale and to such a degree that arguably has never happened before -- quite possibly pushing the chances for a globalized, truly enlightened, just & democratically-ruled civil society another century beyond -- that is, IF we haven't totally squandered the last best chance we had as a self-willed and motivated species to avert mass-catastrophic die-off with resulting panic-and-desperation-induced predatory rioting and crisis of last-stand competative survival.
In this context, its hard to see Obama as NOT the product of a carefully-crafted Dear Leader frontman psyop that enables the well-entrenched ruling-elite Circus-Global Imperial to continue with Business AS Usual, consolidating while expanding political, military, economic and ideological control of the masses thru the institutionalization of a rigidly authoritarian & fascist ParaMilitary-Police State and corporate-feudal technocracy.
In the last several years, the spectre of what we are moving towards has become even more bleak and awful than the most perceptive among us might have imagined, while retaining some sense of inspired optimism and resolute courage has become harder.
I damn those sociopathic villians and traitors to the human species who like Obama and puppeteers and his legions of earnest sycophants and idealistic enablers, the Wall Street gang of robber-barons and self-styled Grand Masters of the Long Con Swindle & carry-trade fraudsters, war industry hucksters and Fortune 500 embezzlers, have brought us to this moment of violence, moral as well as economic and social bankruptcy, environmental degradation on the verge of crisis, political chicanery, endemic fraud and institutionalized corruption etc. at least as much for blighting the human spirit and its capacity to love and live in peace as for the great continuing damage they do to the individual men, women and children that their serial crimes victimize.
True courage and selfless devotion to the cause of liberating civil society while inspiring people to become self-actualized, responsible and autonomous members of empowered local communities & families, is one of many noble goals that the Occupy Movement and other Social Justice causes can do help manifest -- to the extent necessary which I DO believe will be equal to the task of overcoming the tremendous distraction, lack of confidence, disinfo, challenges and psyop obstacles the state will attempt to divert the public's struggle with.
Anyway (sorry to wander offtrack), I too wouldn't be surprised to find the Obama Phenom prevails (as planned) viz his re-selection as the best damn friend a diehard rightwinger or dedicated repub could hope for -- despite, or rather largely because when it comes to screwing the working-less & vanishing middle classes there isn't a lickspittle bit of difference (or empty tube of KY to help ease the schtupping) 'tween a New Party Dem or an old school Repubber.
I hate it when I'm right. This next paragraph is from a blogpost I wrote in 2008:
