[CitizensTruth] Obama as change vs. more-o-same-Empire-guy

[Geri Perry]

Andrew,

As usual, I can't help but agree with you.

And I admit that I find the stranglehold that Obama so clearly has on 
the national (and yes, world) psyche to be especially frightening not 
only because it flies in the face of all reason but because the Obama 
obsession is so deep, so pervasive. I too met him briefly and understand 
the power of his personal magnetism and apparent sincerity, but how is 
it that millions upon millions all over the world so willingly go out of 
their way to pay homage to someone they never met, nor know much about?

As a former Kucinich fan I watched (unhappily) as Obama "came out of 
nowhere" to win a place in the U.S. Senate, and a spot as keynote 
speaker at the Democratic Convention. The details of THAT story in 
itself are revealing.

In all his history as a politician Obama has operated in a manner not 
unlike Clinton: I feel your pain but we have to consider the greater 
good - which always turns out to support empire. His MO is basically "To 
get along you must go along." This is why he almost always ends up 
telling "we the people" one thing and then doing another.

I don't know if anyone has listened to the Kay Griggs tapes, but in them 
she talks about her own husband as well as leaders like Pol Pot  being 
recruited as "Rising Stars" (similar in nature to the "Finders Club" 
former FBI supervisor Ted Gunderson talks about). I have long wondered 
whether Obama might have been one of those "Rising Stars". Certainly his 
background (and lack of information thereof) seem to indicate that he 
very well could be.

All this said, we MUST understand that Obama, like the rest, is little 
more than a puppet. If he should ever decide to stray from the party 
line, it's over for him politically and maybe in other ways as well.

There is NO other solution but for we the people to reclaim our 
sovereign power. With the New World Order staring us in the face, that 
won't be easy but it CAN be done. As Indian activist Arundahti Roy likes 
to say: We be many, they be few.
