It's part and parcel of the same deal that just passed in the U.S. Congress and was signed by the President, that in the event of any future U.S. financial crash, FDIC-insured bank accounts won't be paid until and unless the mega-banks that hold derivatives contracts get full payment on all of those gambling policies they had bought -- i.e, never. Granny's savings account will get emptied out to pay Wall Street's gambling-debts. (Not that the U.S. 'news' media ever made such things clear to the public. But how do you think we had managed to obtain a Congress and a President like these are? The public had to be fooled by the aristocrats' propaganda, and the 'news' media had to help aristocrats fool them about it, because the 'news' media receive their funding from aristocrats, both as their owners and as their advertisers. The public are just pawns on their chessboard. This is what became of democracy: it's merely the residual verbal shell -- 'democracy' -- an Orwellian opposite of the original meaning.)
As Obama told the mega-bank chiefs on 27 March 2009 in private, "I'm protecting you " My Administration is the only thing between you and the pitchforks."
He's going to teach those granny-bank-account "pitchforks," and such, a thing or two about "the one indispensable nation." Namely: those people in it, the public, are dispensable, even if not quite as much so as are the people his forces are slaughtering (ethnically cleansing) in southeast Ukraine and other such places, where the 'real riffraff' live. The people in those areas are punished and killed for the crime of living where "the right people" want them simply to be gone (preferably dead, but otherwise refugees in Russia, until the ICBMs kill them).
"Sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing." But it's long since gone, and is now aiming to clear out land elsewhere, especially southeast Ukraine, to place nuclear missiles there.
America's 'entrepreneurs' have work to do, across the globe; and all the charred remains of the nuclear 'victory' will be passed on to their proud heirs.
It's the new American way, the way of 'entrepreneurs' -- a.k.a. "the aristocracy" -- but actually only the 'entrepreneurs' who have been able to grab the most, who are billionaires. Only insiders can apply for admission. Outsiders can apply for a job, nothing more.
Obama had it all figured out. Everything else from him was just an act. He is the personification of cynicism, and of lies.
If you don't think so, then how do you explain this, and this, and this, and this? Are those just innocent tragedies; and, if not, then who was the most indispensable person toward causing them to happen -- causing them to be imposed by the Ukrainian Government that Obama's coup imposed upon Ukraine? Obama's decisions were essential in order to empower the people who are perpetrating this extermination-campaign, which is the bait intended to draw Vladimir Putin into a Ukrainian conflict so as to provide a pretext for an American nuclear attack against Russia -- as if Russia doesn't have even more of a legitimate national-security interest in its Ukrainian neighbor than the U.S. had in its Cuban neighbor in 1962, when we rightly threatened nuclear war over that type of provocation.
If the next U.S. President protects Obama from criminal prosecution for Ukraine like Obama protected Bush from criminal prosecution for Iraq, then the U.S. is hopelessly a lawless nation, no democracy at all.
Unfortunately, the nuclear bombs in the war that Obama and the other stooges of America's aristocracy are building up to, will not be targeted against themselves and their psychopathic (often billionaire) sponsors. Those people will instead have their bomb-shelters, and their corporate jets.
Oligarchs are foreign to a democracy. Consequently, their servants in government, especially America's current and former President, are foreign to the U.S. Constitution, and to their Oath of Office, and thus to this country, irrespective of their technical citizenship as 'American.' They should both be brought up on charges of treason against the United States of America; for, if they are not, then truly democracy is ended in this country, with no hope of restoration, and America's Presidents are not subject to American Law, but instead stand above it, beyond it, and immune from it. That makes them dictators, but for whom, and against whom? The record speaks for itself.
Reader-comments to this commentary, pro-and-con, are invited regarding this conclusion, especially because a public forum to discuss this severe matter is needed now -- a turning-point in American, and (sad to say), perhaps also (if a nuclear attack occurs) a turning-point in global history. That's the case regardless of which side of this debate one is on. The fundamental character of this country is at stake now. The public should have a say in it (if that's still even possible, given that 99% of the media are in the hands of oligarchs -- the very same aristocrats who benefit from the status-quo).
Nuclear war is a serious matter, and the American Government must immediately halt their plan to provoke it. The time to force a halt to that is now, or else it will be never. Every step we get closer to nuclear war makes reversing the direction, which is toward war, even more difficult, and less likely, and makes nuclear war even likelier than it was before.
If the public is to take charge (assuming that doing so is still possible), it will happen sooner rather than later.
The public discussion will begin now, if it begins at all.
We're close to the precipice. Will the public remain quiet?
