Yes, I mean it: the worst ever!
We’ve had James Monroe and his doctrine of supremacy over Latin America. We’ve had Theodore Roosevelt and his invasion of Cuba; Nixon, Reagan, Bush-Bush and their mass murder, and all the war crimes and genocide committed by most presidents. Yes, but we never had a black man sit on the white throne of imperialism committing war crimes.
And there he is, murdering even more people in Afghanistan than Bush, backing coups in Latin America, continuing to undermine Iraq, sending drones, mercenaries, saboteurs to Pakistan, Somalia, Yemen, Uganda, Libya and now Syria. He bores deeper into several African countries, rich with oil and minerals, than his white predecessors, Democrats and Republicans. The US is eliminating the few secular governments that there were in the Middle East and North Africa.
Obama is busier fulfilling total USAmerican world domination than even Bush, Reagan and Nixon.
He is the president for US corporations. With his black Kenyan roots he can walk into Africa’s rich parlors and black “White Houses” and communicate with these butchers better than any of the capitalist class’ earlier presidents, all of them white.
Obama is worse than them, precisely because he betrays all his black “brothers and sisters” in the US, all except a few rich and opportunistic ones. He was the hope; he would improve their lot, and that of the poor, the working people. But he has done nothing of the sort. Instead, he takes from them to give to the rich, the worst criminals on Wall Street, the war industry, the oil and mineral industries. Virtually all of his economic advisors hail from Wall Street and in many cases were central figures in the enormous economic crimes of the last few years that have stolen hundreds of billions, even trillions of dollars from the poor and the middle class. His top militarists, Homeland Security thugs, and CIA killers are some of those that Bush used — most of them Republicans.
Obama’s drones have killed nearly 200 children since he won his Nobel Peace Prize
As commander in chief, he has had the national hero Bradley Manning tortured. He seeks to destroy Wikileaks and its founder Julian Assange.
I gave a speech in front of the US embassy in Copenhagen when Obama was to receive the Nobel Peace Prize, for Christ Sake!
Here are excerpts:
“We live in a state of permanent war and Obama continues this system, as he must, because no president of the USA can significantly moderate or abolish that brutal system. It is of no consequence what one’s color, gender or sexual preference is. Changing or abolishing capitalism and imperialism can only occur when gigantic numbers of productive and service workers wake up and fight for such. And we must do so with our own political parties not the dominating capitalist parties, Democratic or Republican, or in Denmark with the current array of political parties.
Tomorrow this black president for capitalism and its wars-for-profit will receive the so-called Nobel Peace Prize. This is an absurd hypocrisy, even more so as it occurs just days after he announced sending 30,000 more murdering US troops to Afghanistan where the resistance forces, fighting for their country’s legitimate sovereignty, will righteously receive them with weaponry.
The media fail to mention that this is the second time Obama has sent additional troops to Afghanistan. Within his first 100 days in office, he ordered an additional 17,000 troops to supplement the 38,000 then present. Soon, there will be nearly 100,000 US troops and some 40,000 more from other countries, including the Banana Republic of Denmark.
While Bush was tied down in Afghanistan and Iraq, Obama takes up imperialism’s demand for blood in Latin America. The nine ALBA (Bolivarian Alliance of the Peoples of Latin America) countries have formed a cooperative trade, political and social network in the past five years and are making deep inroads into capitalism’s territory. Bush was powerless to combat this development which started by Cuba and Venezuela, in 2004. But the new “black” president saw a weak link in Honduras where the oligarchy and the thoroughly US-dominated military organized a coup d´etat with Obama-backed generals assisting. Then came the illegal elections a week ago, held under an armed curfew, which Obama declared to be legitimate even as the real president (Manuel Zelaya) and his patriotic supporters in the hundreds of thousands sought to have him reinstated.
Since that speech, Obama also supported the removal of progressive Catholic priest and President Fernando Lugo in Paraguay.
The first “black” president ran on a peace ticket, a position which he has reversed. Nor has he significantly fulfilled any other of his somewhat progressive campaign promises, such as closing down Guantanamo’s torture factory.
“I Have a Dream Drone” has become Obama’s mantra.
I close with the words of Bolivia’s Evo Morales, the world’s first indigenous president, excerpted from his 10 Commandments:
Commandment 1: To End with Capitalism
“If we want to start a serious and sincere discussion on climate change we should know that it is about the struggle between two ways of living, between two cultures: the culture of trash and death, versus the culture of life and peace. This is the core of the discussion on climate change. In order to preserve the planet, life and the human species, we must end Capitalism!”
HASTA LA VICTORIA SIEMPRE!

@ five star Vetern . We are all aware of the voter fraud that has taken place, but this killer still has his fan base . even if the American people followed Your advice and were armed to the teeth the PEOPLE DO NOT have the fire power the U S military has, that is why I have continuously stressed to people that will listen the dire need for at least half of the U S military personnel to defect, or secede from the U S military ranks and join the cause of the people to make this a great nation once again a free Republic . WE ARE IN TROUBLE .
And what panel of elite college graduates was needed to decide and tell us this? Geeze I would have never figured this out on my own! (sarcasm)
Wasn’t this obvious before the end of the first year of the first term?
What part of 18 states reporting massive voter fraud indicated the lase election was valid in ay way. What part of military absentee ballots were not counted made the election valid in any way.
One might think that every soldier who places his life on the line should qualify for the casting of two votes. However instead 1.5 million illegals voted in California and their votes were counted.
I am waiting for Americans to decide they have had enough. To put an end to the illegal activities of US Government officials in the name of America.
Anybody interested, do yourselves a favour and check the Video” The Iron fist of communist China” and see the common factors that are visible between the dictatorship of Juing Zamin and his 610 Party forum, and what is happening in the USA. The USA is a copy of the C.C.P.
It is a system favoured by the N.W.O. to enslave the whole population, and for big obama happenes to be their puppet. Their main features in common: LYING, DECEIT, MURDER,DICTATORIAL MASSMURDER, EMPLOYING THE DREGGS OF SOCIETY TO POLICE THE POPULATION , and here we are talking the street gangs in major centres. I know the difference between chocolate and crap, and i think the USA is heading for the latter. You dont have to believe me, check it out for yourself in this series of video’s and see what is waiting for you around the corner. You already have the CIA and DHS in place, the rest is on the way with the close attention and pleasure of obama. You guys must prepare yourselves for big crap, try a 107.
I can understand why Obama was ask to give back the Nobel Peace Prize . But the American people are still failing to recognize the true evil of this man . The killing Obama is doing overseas will very soon come to the shores of America to penetrate even the Heartland of the U S . The taking away of firearms from the American people, Drones now flying in the skies over America as well to someday soon be used against the American people . the removing of freedom of speech . I will not continue on with the list, however I will state this country is in serious trouble and most of the American people that voted for this man are not aware of just how much danger they are in . Joesph Stalin killed millions of Russians while an other segment of Russian people loved him for it . The United States is in grave danger while this man Obama sets in the oval office .
