<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" ><tr><td valign="top" style="font: inherit;">In what ways is the Obama administration "restoring control of the government to the people"? Not some words dug up from a speech that appeals to our prejudices but in fact, in deeds. The wars continue and are being expanded, despite the fact that millions have voted for the Democrats in two election cycles as a vote to end those wars. The bail-out? Commentators across the political spectrum agree that it is essentially the same approach that the Bush administration took, with a few revisions. Ending renditions? Last week the Obama Dept. of Justice (!) went into court and argued just what the Bush DoJ had: "Don't let lawsuits by detainees seeking redress for the crimes committed against them go forward because they will expose state secrets" - namely, the crimes against international law this government wants to continue behind the veil of state
secrets!<br><br>If we go along with all this because of a few crumbs thrown our way (precious few, in fact), then we are indeed complicit with that, and much more.<br><br>"On the inauguration, crimes...and complicity"<br>By Bob Avakian<br><br>http://www.revcom.us/a/157/Avakian_on_Obama-en.html<br><br><br><br><br><div id="RTEContent"><div id="RTEContent"><div><strong> </strong><em></em><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Stop</span> thinking like an American, <br>Start thinking about humanity!<br></span></span><span style="color: rgb(0, 127, 64); font-weight: bold;"></span></div></div></div><br><br>--- On <b>Mon, 2/16/09, Hal Snyder <i><hal@drxyzzy.org></i></b> wrote:<br><blockquote style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;">From: Hal Snyder <hal@drxyzzy.org><br>Subject: Re: [CitizensTruth] Icke on Obama<br>To:

I have, since the early 1990s, spoken my truth on public stages across the world. I know, therefore, the difference between artificial autocue delivery and body language and talking from the heart without a script.
