Netanyahu calls Obama’s bluff

by Melkulangara K. Bhadrakumar

Netanyahu calls Obama's bluff

New Dehli (India) | 16 November 2012
As Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu marshals troops toward Gaza, Barack Obama is making a grievous error by being seen as walking in step. Post-election optimism over direct talks with Iran will be shattered should Israel invade, and the Arab world will view the US president as full of empty promises. In one swipe, Netanyahu has made Gaza the litmus test of Obama’s statesmanship.

President Barack Obama's remarks on Election Night

Chicago (USA) | 7 November 2012
Thank you very much!
Tonight, more than 200 years after a former colony won the right to determine its own destiny, the task of perfecting our union moves forward.
It moves forward because of you. It moves forward because you reaffirmed the spirit that has triumphed over war and depression; the spirit that has lifted this country from the depths of despair to the great heights of hope — the belief that while each of us will pursue our own individual dreams, we are an American family, and (...)

Obama Afghanistan deaths top those of Bush

Obama Afghanistan deaths top those of Bush

25 August 2012
Sgt. Louis R. Torres of Oberlin, Ohio, died August 22, 2012, of injuries sustained by an explosive device in Kandahar two weeks earlier.
Now the longest conflict in U.S. history, the Afghanistan war has taken the lives of 2,000 Americans, half of whom were killed in just the past two and a half years.
During the first nine years of the war, about 1,000 military personnel died. Then, the Obama administration decided to deploy a “surge” of new troops to the conflict, resulting in a dramatic (...)

Obama’s Geopolitical China ‘Pivot’

by F. William Engdahl

Obama's Geopolitical China ‘Pivot'

Frankfurt (Germany) | 23 August 2012
With little fanfare Barack Obama late last year announced a "strategic pivot" in US defense policy to focus on the Pacific, bolstered by "Coalition of the willing" Australia. It is all about emerging China as an economic colossus with a mind all its own. The US military has been steadily positioning itself along the strategic sea lanes surrounding China to deal potentially deadly blows to the mainland as well as cutting off its oil corridors to the Middle East and Africa. This author breaks down a situation where the noose tightening around China could generate a major new conflict zone in the not too distant future.

White House unveils strategy for Africa: intensified militarization and war on terror

White House unveils strategy for Africa: intensified militarization and war on terror

New York (United States) | 24 June 2012
The White House has put in writing its policies for sub-Saharan Africa. The problem is, there’s hardly a word of truth in the document, and not a single mention of AFRICOM, the U.S. military command on the continent. The presidential paper repeats Obama’s 2009 lecture to Africans on “good governance.” He also warned that they avoid the “excuses” of blaming “neocolonialism” and “racism” for their problems. Meanwhile, AFRICOM is “positioning the U.S. to launch coups at will against African civilian, or even military, leaders that fall out of favor with Washington.”

Obama’s "kill list" and bloodthirsty Americans

by Margaret Kimberley

Obama's "kill list" and bloodthirsty Americans

9 June 2012
Barack Obama, who lots of deluded people not too long ago imagined was a man of peace, wants the American people to think of him as a cold killer. Violence-wise, the U.S. is the home of the depraved, says Black Agenda Report editor Margaret Kimberley, underscoring that recent revelations about the U.S. president’s personal prerogative to decide who will live and who will die have not made a dent in public opinion.

’Obama signed US into Police State’

'Obama signed US into Police State'

2 January 2012
US President Barack Obama has just implemented "Police State USA", Michel Chossudovsky, the director of the Center for Research on Globalization, wrote in an article published on the Global Research website on Sunday.
“The passage of NDAA is intimately related to Washington’s global military agenda. The military pursuit of Worldwide hegemony also requires the ’Militarization of the Homeland’, namely the demise of the American Republic,” the US professor and economist said.
The NDAA, which (...)

Fort Bragg, North Carolina
15 December 2011
Hello, everybody! Hello, Fort Bragg! All the way!
Now, I’m sure you realise why I don’t like following Michelle Obama. She’s pretty good. And it is true, I am a little biased, but let me just say it: Michelle, you are a remarkable First Lady.
You are a great advocate for military families. And you’re cute. I’m just saying, gentlemen, that’s your goal: to marry up. Punch above your weight.
Fort Bragg, we’re here to mark a historic moment in the life (...)

Obama betrays Palestinians, stepping deeper into Zionist trap

Obama betrays Palestinians, stepping deeper into Zionist trap

New York (United States) | 11 October 2011
President Barack Obama’s groveling before Israel at the UN General Assembly is already paying off as Zionist funds pour into his re-election campaign coffers. However, sacrificing the Palestinians is not the only service that his Zionist patrons will demand of him. Their laundry list, as James Petras suggests, is also likely to include the liberation of U.S. intelligence analyst Jonathan Pollack, convicted in 1987 of spying for Israel.

Barack Obama’s false birth certificate released on White House website

Barack Obama's false birth certificate released on White House website

6 May 2011
A heated debate has unfolded about Barack Obama’s place of birth. Officially, the president was born a US citizen in the State of Hawaii, but numerous elements prove that he was actually born in Kenya under British rule. In that case, he would not be eligible for the office of the U.S. presidency.
Several lawsuits were initiated - in particular by Mr Philip Berg - calling on Obama to produce his birth certificate, but in vain. He systematically chose not to be represented in court and to (...)

Remarks by Barack Obama to the 65th UN General Assembly

New York (United States) | 23 September 2010
Mr. President,
Mr. Secretary-General,
my fellow delegates,
ladies and gentlemen,
It is a great honor to address this Assembly for the second time, nearly two years after my election as President of the United States.
We know this is no ordinary time for our people. Each of us comes here with our own problems and priorities. But there are also challenges that we share in common as leaders and as nations.
We meet within an institution built from the rubble of war, designed to unite (...)

The Story of Obama: All in the Company (Part II)

by Wayne Madsen

The Story of Obama: All in the Company (Part II)

Washington D.C. (USA) | 20 August 2010
In the second part of his investigation Wayne Madsen focuses on Barack Obama’s mother and stepfather. He follows their footsteps as CIA assets from the University of Hawaii, home to some of the CIA’s blackest projects, to their activities in Indonesia where a vast US-sponsored anti-communist massacre was unfolding. It marked the start of globalisation in Asia and in the rest of the world. Unlike the Bush dynasty, Barack Obama has smartly concealed his own connections with the Agency and, in particular, those of his ancestors ... until now.

The Story of Obama: All in The Company (Part I)

Washington D.C. (USA) | 20 August 2010
Investigative journalist Wayne Madsen has discovered CIA files that document the agency’s connections to institutions and individuals figuring prominently in the lives of Barack Obama and his mother, father, grandmother, and stepfather. The first part of his report highlights the connections between Barack Obama, Sr. and the CIA-sponsored operations in Kenya to counter rising Soviet and Chinese influence among student circles and, beyond, to create conditions obstructing the emergence of independent African leaders.

“Mongrel”: Historically, and from Obama’s Mouth

by Glen Ford

“Mongrel”: Historically, and from Obama's Mouth

New York (United States) | 9 August 2010
The author rightfully takes issue with Barack Obama’s way of describing himself. Although Obama is publicly identified as African-American, there is very little of that culture and perspective in him. This phenomenon was exploited by the ruling class when they chose him to run for President. They used this racist proclivity to fool the public into thinking that, first of all, this was an "equal opportunity" country that had overcome racism, and secondly, that Obama represented a truly different perspective on things which informed his campaign theme about "change".

In 1979, Obama was considered a foreigner by the U.S. Adminitration

17 February 2010
For over one year, evidence has been mounting to the effect that Barack Obama is not a U.S.-born citizen and is constitutionally ineligible to hold the office of president.
Several legal actions have been taken on such grounds with a view to overturn his election, all of which have been judged to be inadmissible. To this day, Barack Obama has spent 950 000 dollars to avoid having to produce his original birth certificate.
The Republican Party has stayed out of the fray. All the more (...)

Remarks by President Obama on the situation in Haiti

14 January 2010
Good morning everybody. I’ve directed my administration to launch a swift, coordinated and aggressive effort to save lives and support the recovery in Haiti.
The losses that have been suffered in Haiti are nothing less than devastating, and responding to a disaster of this magnitude will require every element of our national capacity — our diplomacy and development assistance; the power of our military; and, most importantly, the compassion of our country. And this morning, I’m joined by (...)

The White House,
January 7, 2010
Good afternoon, everybody.
I just concluded a meeting with members of my national security team, including those from our intelligence, homeland security and law enforcement agencies involved in the security reviews that I ordered after the failed attack on Christmas Day. I called these leaders to the White House because we face a challenge of the utmost urgency. As we saw on Christmas, al Qaeda and its extremist allies will stop at nothing in their (...)

Obama Doctrine: Eternal War For Imperfect Mankind

Chicago (USA) | 11 December 2009
Do words still have a meaning? There is room for doubt after President Obama’s speech yesterday in Oslo. The man who is pursuing two wars of aggression in Iraq and Afghanistan at the helm of the most powerful military complex in history, afforded himself the luxury of posing as a pacifist as he received the Nobel Peace prize. Making impudent use of references and religious rhetoric, he defended a fatalistic view of war and glossed over the crimes being committed in the Middle East under his command.

Your Majesties,
Your Royal Highnesses,
Distinguished Members of the Norwegian Nobel Committee,
citizens of America,
and citizens of the world:
I receive this honor with deep gratitude and great humility. It is an award that speaks to our highest aspirations—that for all the cruelty and hardship of our world, we are not mere prisoners of fate. Our actions matter, and can bend history in the direction of justice.
And yet I would be remiss if I did not acknowledge the considerable (...)

War, Peace and Obama’s Nobel

by Noam Chomsky

War, Peace and Obama's Nobel

New York (United States) | 17 November 2009
It is facts and actions that define the real temper of a politician, in this case Barack Obama. This is precisely what is bewildering many an intellectual or political analyst, considering that Obama has gone back on most of the promises formulated during his electoral campaign: Guantanamo’s closure, military withdrawal from Iraq and many others. Acclaimed scholar Noam Chomsky offers his observations on this issue.

Behind the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize

Beirut (Lebanon) | 19 October 2009
While the Nobel Peace Prize award has led to a chorus of praise from the Atlantic alliance leaders, it has also raised skepticism around the world. Rather than discuss the reasons that might after the fact justify this surprising choice, Thierry Meyssan exposes the corruption of the Nobel Committee and the ties between its chairman, Thorbjørn Jagland, and Obama’s associates.

Why Obama is the President of War not “Change”

Why Obama is the President of War not “Change”

Lethbridge (Canada) | 15 September 2009
This penetrating overview and analysis traces the ideology driving the Obama administration back to the concept of a "Divine America" and the policies applied against the indigenous people of North America. The son of a formerly colonized Kenyan, double-speak Obama has now become the colonizer. From the hero of the Civil Rights Movement which bouyed him to power to the champion of militarism. "Brand Obama" has embraced the infrastructure of the most lethal military complex ever assembled at the service of an ever expanding imperial agenda. Which of Obama’s two faces can we believe in and why has the Left chosen so far to see only one?

In this interview, conducted by Deep Journal before the 4 November elections, Webster Tarpley expounds on the topic of his recently published books "Obama, The Postmodern Coup,The Making of a Manchurian Candidate" and "Barack Obama: The Unauthorized Biography". Does Obama represent a real change or is it the same old imperialism with cosmetic surgery?

17 March 2009
Obama supporters: Scrutinize Obama the same as you scrutinized Bush. Look for inconsistencies between "deeds" and "words." Be intellectually consistent and you will see once and for all that our elected officials are little more than salesmen. They are there to sell an agenda that moves forward REGARDLESS of who is in office.

Barack Obama:

“America’s First Jewish President”

by James Petras

“America's First Jewish President”

New York (United States) | 12 December 2008
According to a nationally prominent Zionist spokesperson, former Congressman, Federal Judge, White House Counsel to President Bill Clinton and early backer of Obama, Abner Mikvner, “Barack Obama is the first Jewish President”. Mikvner’s affirmation reflects both Obama’s one-sided and longstanding commitment to the State of Israel and loyalty to the Zionist Power Configuration (ZPC) in the United States, as well as the long-term and successful effort of a network of financially and politically powerful Jewish Zionists to ‘embed’ Obama in their ‘Israel First’ political apparatus.
