In supporting and making possible the election of Barak Obama, the globalist corporate entity that dominates the American government and its propaganda wing, the mainstream media, accepted the reality that it could not impose on us another George W. Bush and still maintain the useful facade of popular government. Barak Obama fit the bill to a "T": someone of unique ethnic origins and masterful oratorical skills, who gave eloquent, if nonspecific, voice to the American peoples' hopes for a new beginning, a reclaiming of the American dream of liberty, peace, and prosperity. His betrayal of this promise in policy decision after policy decision has repeatedly shown for whom he is really working. His paternalistic manner in dealing with critics reveals his inflexible devotion to maintaining the ascendancy of corporations and banks, even in spite of some of their more self-destructive practices.
That an articulate and widely read critic of the hypocrisy and betrayal Mr. Obama has shown over the past few months is terminated does not surprise me, but is probably just one small step in the emerging cult of personality.
