OBAMA, THE POSTMODERN COUP -- MAKING OF A MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE |

Chairman Ho Ho supports the War Ho: Why the Democratic Party Rules are not a Suicide Pact. By Bruce Marshall The travesty of the Democratic primary circus and its ultimate outcome is now being engineered towards a veritable world tragedy by that pugnacious hypocrite and Wall Street political trollop, the man known in Vermont as "Ho Ho" -- Howard Dean, the screaming Robespierre of the rich white elitists who ultimately run the Obama campaign. Yes, it does look like Howard Dean, as chairman of the Democratic Party, is maneuvering the nomination process towards helping Barack the "War Ho" Obama, as Glen Ford of the Black Agenda Report refers to Wall Street's political artful dodger, to become the Democratic nominee or ultimate party wrecker. The rules of the Democratic Party have been dysfunctional for decades, but that is what you get when you consider the Democratic Party to be a private country club, as wealthy elitist Howard Dean does. The issue before us is the absurdity of what has become a stalling tactic and deliberate sabotage by Howard Dean as regards the discounting of the Florida and Michigan primaries. These primaries did happen and were fair and open, resulting in a record turnout in Florida. Now we have a situation where a sore loser, Obama, wants the votes shredded, or else wants half the delegates. Such nonsense is nothing other but affirmative action for weak politicians. What is happening is the deliberate disenfranchisement of voters' rights, something the Democratic Party has become quite adept at in capitulating to Bush's stolen elections. This constitutes a deliberate wrecking operation against the Democratic Party that should not be tolerated. Perhaps Dean was brought in as Chairman of the Party because of the way that he helped split the Democratic Party in Vermont, because it was his elitist policies on social issues and the environment that contributed to the weakening of the Democrats and the rise of the Progressive Party in Vermont. The rules of the Democratic Party should not be a suicide pact, but this is exactly what Howard Dean is forcing on the Party. The fact that the dates of these primaries were changed is a non-issue, but one that Dean is pretending to be bent out of shape about. In Florida, the Republican attitude is to goad the Democratic National Party to punish Florida Democrats by ruling the Florida primary invalid. The earlier primary dates constitute a legitimate push by Michigan and Florida to play a meaningful role in the selection of candidates. The primaries were as fair as primaries can be. Obama kept his name on the ballot in Florida, and lost. In Michigan, he deliberately pulled his own name from the ballot. He avoided what he thought would be a beauty contest which he would lose, and spent all that money in Iowa, where he won. He paid his money and he took his choice. He buttered his bread and now -- everybody knows the rest. One might ask whether or not this whole primary calendar issue would be called into question had Obama won these contests? Senator Clinton has responded by saying she would accept a new primary; Obama knowing he would lose, rejects and sabotages a new primary, and would rather have a caucus that would favor him, because caucuses attract affluent voters who have time to participate in caucuses. Failing that, Obama wants to simply be given half the votes, just because he is the divine Obama. Placing entitlement above democracy is what typifies elitist oligarchs like Howard Dean, a man who comes from Wall Street money and has never betrayed The Street. Dean regards government as the avenue to securing the entitlements of his class over the concern for the common good. When he was Governor of Vermont, Ho Ho -- as the widely read Vermont columnist Peter Freyne referred to him -- was in essence a Republican, fiscally very conservative; he was not the environmentalist nor progressive that he thought he was, other than in his health care initiative. Dean of course was very guarded about his real record in Vermont when he had his gubernatorial records officially and hermetically sealed before he ran for president in 2003-4. One speculation was that he had been using his position as Governor to further his political aspirations. There is more to the story. There is some question as to whether Dean ever took the oath of office as Governor of Vermont. Discovery in an unrelated legal proceeding failed to turn up any proof that Dean was ever actually a 'subscriber' to the Oath of Office, and photo ops of Dean taking the oath do not count. Does this explain the unconstitutional conduct of such an occupant of high office, which has continued with the present Republican Governor of Vermont? Does this not say something about the disregard for the Constitution across the nation, especially in Washington? Dean helped private business developers, but he did not work to save Vermont's once famous machine tool industry, the "Precision Valley" along the Connecticut River, the type of vital manufacturing capabilities America desperately needs. Perhaps this disregard explains Dean's elitist class prejudice against Michigan's overwhelmingly blue-collar voters, who realize that the current economic depression is a reality that goes beyond a bad day on Wall Street. The Dean/Obama "hedge fund" does not understand the economics of the real world, but their respective political operations are in essence political hedges for the finance oligarchy. The Dean presidential campaign of 2004 (remember the Deaniacs?) has in essence been carried over tactically and demographically by the Obama campaign, which has copied Dean's signature ploy of using the Internet to suck in money and hype voters. Both Dean and Obama are fakes, demagogues. One must remember that Howard Dean was not the antiwar candidate that he wanted you to think he was. Dean only opposed the way the Iraq war was started, and had no objection to the occupation; in fact, Dean thought we should have attacked Iran instead! Likewise Obama, who said he was against the war in Iraq, has certainly voted repeatedly to fund the occupation, and refused to support even Kerry's tepid pullout resolution. Obama's real character is revealed by his repeated calls to bomb Pakistan, and if need be Iran. Glen Ford of The Black Agenda Report was absolutely correct in characterizing Obama as a "War Ho," not only for his bellicose and aggressive statements, but also for being complicit with Bush in funding the war. Now that Gen. Merrill McPeak, the architect behind the First Gulf War's "Bomb Now, Die Later" air slaughter campaign, has actively joined his campaign, Obama the "War Ho" has real creds. Democrats always seem to have the weakness of wanting to show that they are macho, and this applies to the Clintons as well. The issue though is that Obama is a direct asset and puppet of Zbigniew Brzezinski, one of the world's most dangerous men. The question of the present election is an existential one for America because of perpetual and contagious war and the systemic economic breakdown crisis. Survival requires the emergence of strong leaders in this country who will stand up to Wall Street hegemony as the quadrillion dollar derivatives black hole swallows everything in a hyperinflationary depression. The financier elite and their controlled media have turned against Hillary because she might become the woman who would revive the legacy of FDR, whom she has invoked against Wall Street. She might promote the general welfare over financier welfare. Remember Austin Goolsbee, the Skull and Bones-Chicago School economic handler of Obama, if you have any doubts that Obama would not be more "market friendly" than Clinton. Michael Bloomberg, who now praises Obama, tells you all you have to know about the reality of Obamanomics. Obama is a wrecking operation against the Democratic Party and the revival of the tradition of FDR in this time of crisis. Dean considered Harry Truman to be his political hero. Truman, an earlier rage-filled war ho and puppet of Skull and Bones operative Averell Harriman, began the demolition of the New Deal. Today Bloomberg is also part of the wrecking operation against the Democratic Party, and might even be Obama's running mate and Cheneyesque overseer. Obama's reported openness to Republicans for running mate and cabinet officials suggests that he will indeed carry out the Felix Rohatyn-Warren Rudman swindle of privatizing what remains of U.S. infrastructure. The crisis of leadership in the Democratic Party will only be solved when the grassroots of the party says "Enough!" Certainly people need to learn from the betrayal by the Pelosi Democrats of the antiwar majority that elected them to Congress in 2006 to stop the war. Obama has stepped into the vacuum left by that betrayal with his message of hope, which has duped and pacified many. But Obama never seriously fought the war as a Senator. When it comes to impeachment, it has been the Democratic leadership that has repeatedly stopped it. Dean has said he is against impeachment because it will get in the way of the election. In Vermont, where the impeachment movement based on article 603 of Thomas Jefferson's manual of the House of Representatives rules first started, we saw the state Democratic leadership swayed by pressure coming directly from Senator Leahy's office against impeachment. The blatant sabotage against impeachment was repeated by Democratic Representative Peter Welch, a machine hack who said impeachment would get in the way of the Democrats stopping the war and investigating Bush and Cheney. Both Leahy and Welch are, like Dean, Obama supporters. Today, Dean is using stalling tactics as concerns Florida and Michigan. In the background is the whole question of the super-delegates that Dean is manipulating as a way for Obama to win the nomination. Dean is now trying to coerce and stampede the super delegates into supporting Obama. In essence this tactic is working to say that the whole primary/caucus process is illegitimate if Dean's chosen candidate does not win. Certainly there is grave doubt that Obama could ever win the general election against McCain, especially after the Jeremiah Wright revelations. To give Obama the election through disenfranchisement and strong-arm tactics could well alienate many voters, who would then be impelled to vote for the self-styled maverick moderate McCain. Since Obama did not win the big states like California, New York, Florida, Michigan, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Ohio and Texas, and is likely to lose heavily in Pennsylvania, how can he win a general election, especially if he alienates independents and the important Reagan Democrats, not to mention the Latino and Asian vote? Of course, Obama' s policies do nothing for inner city, low-income blacks, but offer a great deal to social climbers like Dean's DNC handmaiden, Donna Brazile. It would seem that Democrats are preparing for another loss in the tradition of McGovern, Mondale, Dukakis, Gore and Kerry. What this country needs as an antidote to such chicanery is a real debate. The present controversy that has kept the nomination up for grabs has some important benefits, as it is forcing Hillary Clinton to fight, while pushing her towards New Deal and populist economic measures to broaden her appeal to the ever-expanding number of voters who are getting seriously hurt in this economic crisis. She needs to be in touch with what is really going on with people and this nation and she is slowly responding, having invoked FDR's anti-foreclosure policies in a recent speech in Pennsylvania. Perhaps she is waking up to the Federal Reserve's attack against the American people's economic future and economic sovereignty, now being carried out by means of outrageous and illegal bailouts, as in the Bear Stearns scandal. The defining issue is this: will the government support the interests of bankrupt Wall Street, or will We the People prevail? Will the Democratic Party be democratic, or continue to be a ... private country club controlled by rich elitists who are willing to employ puppets of any color to ensure that financiers will continue to rule America? The Old Rogue B52 and the new Rogues in Power: Air Force Purge Confirms Brzezinski/Obama Faction in Control; Neo-Cons are Out From Frying Pan to Fire: Not Little Iran, but Giant Russia, China, Pakistan are Trilateral Targets Within 48 hours after the Brzezinski candidate Barack Obama claimed the nomination for president, the Trilateral faction moved to consolidate their power, toppling neo-con holdovers in the USAF. Two generals were apparently implicated in an attempt to supply rogue nuclear weapons for an attack on Iran during last September's Israeli raid on Syria. The Trilateral faction instead want to use Iran as a pawn against Russia, just as they used it in the 1980-88 war against Iraq, which began on Brzezinski's watch during the Carter administration. Defense Secretary Robert Gates, who replaced the neocon Rumsfeld, goes back to the Carter era. He created al-Qaeda to fight Brzezinski's Soviet-Afghan war. Barack Obama's role in this is to be the new Jimmy Carter whose human rights rhetoric will provide cover and fuel to Brzezinski's dangerous divide-and-conquer games. Washington D.C., June 6. Yesterday's extraordinary simultaneous ouster of the Secretary of the Air Force and the Air Force chief of staff, followed by the naming of Trilateral Commissioner and Carter administration veteran James Rodney Schlesinger to purge USAF generals and colonels, dramatically documents the fact that power in Washington D.C. is no long in the hands of the Bush-Cheney-neocon clique, but has passed to the Brzezinski Trilateral faction. Defense Secretary Robert Gates announced the firing of Air Force Secretary Michael W. Wynne and Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. T. Michael Moseley, citing the failure of the Air Force to maintain the security of strategic nuclear forces, as shown in the infamous rogue B-52 incident of late August 2007, when a B-52 intercontinental strategic bomber with six nuclear armed cruise missiles flew from North Dakota to Louisiana totally outside of the purview of the USAF command control and communications systems. Gates also mentioned that four high-tech electrical nosecone fuses for Minuteman nuclear warheads were sent to Taiwan in place of helicopter batteries, along with other failures. Gates is a leading member of the Principals' Committee, an interagency group which now runs the U.S. government from day to day with scant reference to the discredited outgoing lame ducks Bush and Cheney, who stay on mainly as figureheads. The Principals' Committee has been in charge of the U.S. government since no later than early May, around the time of the Indiana and North Carolina primaries, when the controlled corporate media began trumpeting that Obama was the winner of the Democratic nomination. The Principals' Committee is made up of Pentagon boss Gates, Secretary of State Rice, NSC director Hadley, Joint Chiefs of Staff head Mullen, intelligence czar McConnell, along with a few others. These figures are now marching to the tune of Trilateral Commission bigwigs like Zbigniew Brzezinski, Joseph Nye, and the Rockefeller family. These are the same forces who own and control the Wall Street Manchurian candidate Obama. It is notable that the high-profile purge of the USAF came less than 48 hours after Obama had unilaterally proclaimed himself the Democratic presidential nominee. The rogue B-52 flew with six nuclear cruise missiles from Minot AFB North Dakota to Barksdale AFB Louisiana last August 30. Source reports published by Wayne Madsen suggest that the B-52 was stopped by patriotic low-level USAF personnel. As the issue of whether to allow the plane to fly on to the Middle East went up the chain of command and expanded to involve the intelligence agencies, it transpired that the majority of the government and the establishment did not want the plane to attack targets in the Middle East. The scandal of the rogue B-52 broke on September 5, and a stand-down and nuclear census of the entire USAF soon followed. According to all indications, the B-52 was under the extra-legal control of the Cheney faction, which evidently planned to fly it to the Middle East and quite possibly use one or more of the nuclear cruise missiles in an attack on Iran and/or Syria, probably in cooperation or coordination with the Israeli air attack on Syria which occurred on September 6. The fact that the B-52 was blocked may have represented the last gasp of the Bush-Cheney-neocon faction, and the beginning of the hegemony of a different and far more dangerous group, namely the Brzezinski-Trilateral faction. The Gates purge indicates that the new Trilateral masters of Washington D.C. do not trust the USAF generals who are so deeply compromised with the Bush-Cheney-neocon faction. The USAF was up to its neck in 9/11, and then in the rogue B-52 affair. The Trilaterals are accordingly driving out the old rogues, and replacing them with new rogue generals of their own, who are loyal to the insane Trilateral agenda. Brzezinski does not want nuclear weapons wasted on Iran, which he intends to turn into an expendable puppet or kamikaze pawn in his apocalyptic showdown with Russian and China. This is what Obama's appeasement of Iran actually aims at: Iran as a U.S. asset to be played against Russia and China. Brzezinski wants to be in control of those nukes, since he may soon need them for use against Russia and China. Those who might celebrate the defeat of the Bush-Cheney-neocon group must rather face the fact that the U.S. has just jumped out of the frying pan of conventional invasions and into the fire of looming thermonuclear confrontations among the great powers. This is the real nature of the change for which Obama is the public symbol. Obama's foreign policy will be dictated in every respect by Trilateral co-founder Brzezinski. Obama is now supported and surrounded by Trilateral members David Rockefeller, Jay Rockefeller, Joseph Nye, Paul Adolph Volcker, Jimmy Carter, and many more. With James "Rodney the Robot" Schlesinger now helping to purge the Pentagon, including its associated intelligence agencies, the Trilateral grip on Washington D.C. is tightening. Obama's choice of a vice president will be dictated by long-time Trilateral stalwart Jim Johnson. The rogue B-52 incident was forecast by me in an essay entitled "Cheney Determined to Strike in U.S. with WMD This Summer," issued on July 21, 2007, and widely distributed on the Internet and in print form. This was followed by the Kennebunkport Warning, which was posted online in the evening of August 26, 2007, less than 72 hours before the rogue B-52 nuclear missiles were loaded. By September 3, the Kennebunkport Warning was posted on 110,000 web sites worldwide. The precision and timeliness of this warning represent an unprecedented intelligence achievement. But now, the danger of a U.S. attack on Iran is very low. Brzezinski's hit list is much more ambitious, and includes Sudan, Pakistan, Burma, and China, all stepping stones to the final reckoning with Moscow. The main possibility of an attack on Iran in the present situation comes from disgruntled Israeli factions like the one around Netanyahu who are aghast that they are being demoted from their previous role as the hub of U.S. strategy to the status of just another expendable pawn in Brzezinski's lunatic plan for confrontation with Beijing and Moscow. The Israelis are horrified by Obama, just as everyone in the world should be. The winning faction of the U.S.-U.K. establishment does not want the attack on Iran, and the Israelis would be foolhardy to try it on their own. The threats today from former IDF chief and Israeli Transport Minister Shaul Mofaz about an Israeli solo attack on Iran because of the failure of economic sanctions to stop nuclear development are indicative of deep discontent, but the guess here is that they are a bluff. We will soon find out: if the Israelis do not strike Iran in the next few weeks, they will have lost their chance as the Trilaterals continue to consolidate their power.
