THE AUDACITY OF HIS MAJESTY, EMPEROR OBAMA

Obama's decision to escalate the war in Afghanistan underlines in double red lines his fundamentally reactionary politics.  While pandering to progressive social issues he has behaved as an imperialist leader rather than a stealth progressive.


Obama's face needs to be crossed out and his name removed from the list of potentially progressive Democrats.  His fate is to be that of President Johnson but with any luck his reactionary health care denial scam will also be defeated.

Obama is not progressive and those who follow him are following a reactionary man who has the audacity to prosecute imperialist wars and the hope that he will not lose the support of freedom loving progressives for it.

Of course those who advocate liberation and liberty can hardly rely on the eloquent confusion of Obama's statements.  Nor has his complete refusal to see Afghanistan debated and to simply act like a King been a cause for anything but disgust, rejection and rebellion.


The Imperial Decree of Obama has gone forth to his Generals who, of course, debated it among themselves.  The sovereign American people were completely left out and are hence, obviously not sovereign at all.

 I think, progressives should support political struggle for the sovereignty of the American people here in the United States.

  Congress, the White House and Supreme Court are all in the pockets of those with deep pockets, here at home and abroad. Virtually every elected or appointed official is bought-and-sold.  At the end of the day Obama is just another capitalist politician, a bought and sold politician running a destructive capitalist juggernaut as best he can.



Meanwhile, refusing to renounce the Monroe Doctrine, Obama positions military and intelligence forces for the reconquest of Latin
America with Honduras and Colombia being the two new beneficiaries of Yankee bases and military build ups.


People throughout the world see thorough his pseudoprogressive hypocrisy.  I hope we can do the same thing here in the United States and build a progressive movement that the Democrats can never betray!


 

OBAMA TAKES ON BUSH'S LINE ON SO-CALLED MISSILE DEFENSE

Obama's trip to Russia seems to offer up some things that could be progressive, maybe, and then some old Bush policies.

Were real commitments to meaningful reductions made? I hope so but I need to look at what the reduction in nuclear weapons and missile launchers is really all about. Sometimes they just take out the warhead or some warhead component that could be reattached in a few hours or less.

So what is the fate of the decommissioned weapons and were they already decommissioned. I am skeptical.

It would be good to see the nuclear weapons decommissioned and is a step that is in the progressive direction but if both powers still retain thousands of weapons the reduction will still look relatively meaningless to nuclear have nots or those with relatively tiny arsenals like Pakistan, India, China, Israel and Korea.

As for the ridiculous advocacy for the so-called "missile defense system"
it is Bush Lite all over again.

The big change is the willingness of Russia and the United States to work together in fighting the wars to Russias southeast in Pakistan, Afghanistan and Iraq. Iran may feel safer now that the Russian ally is providing a corridor for United States military forces. I suppose this may be necessary because Uzbekistan is closing the US military base there.
I don't really know but I suppose supplying these remote wars is a real
problem for the empire.

Once again, the apparent willingness of the United States to call Russia
"equal" appears to be a recognition that Russia is a regional power to be worked with rather than an enemy to be continuously opposed. It almost looks like an alliance?
