Stasi in the White House: Obama’s Lofty Words of Peace While Beating the Drums of War
On June 19, 2013, US
President Obama, hoping to raise himself above the developing National
Security Agency (NSA) spy scandals, sought to associate himself with two
iconic speeches made at the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin.
Fifty years ago, President John
F. Kennedy pledged: “Ich bin ein Berliner”. In 1987, President Ronald
Reagan challenged: “Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall.”
Obama’s speech was delivered to a
relatively small, specially selected audience of invitees. Even so,
Obama spoke from behind bullet proof glass.
Obama’s speech will go down in
history as the most hypocritical of all time. Little wonder that the
audience was there by invitation only. A real audience would have hooted
Obama out of Berlin.
Perhaps the most hypocritical of
all of Obama’s statements was his proposal that the US and Russia reduce
their nuclear weapons by one-third. The entire world, and certainly
the Russians, saw through this ploy. The US is currently surrounding
Russia with anti-ballistic missiles on Russia’s borders and hopes to
leverage this advantage by talking Russia into reducing its weapons,
thereby making it easier for Washington to target them. Obama’s
proposal is clearly intended to weaken Russia’s nuclear deterrent and
ability to resist US hegemony.
Obama spoke lofty words of peace,
while beating the drums of war in Syria and Iran. Witness Obama’s
aggressive policies of surrounding Russia with missile bases and
establishing new military bases in the Pacific Ocean with which to
confront China.
This is the same Obama who
promised to close the Guantanamo Torture Prison, but did not; the same
Obama who promised to tell us the purpose for Washington’s decade-long
war in Afghanistan, but did not; the same Obama who promised to end the
wars, but started new ones; the same Obama who said he stood for the
US Constitution, but shredded it; the same Obama who refused to hold
the Bush regime accountable for its crimes against law and humanity;
the same Obama who unleashed drones against civilian populations in
Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Yemen; the same Obama who claimed and
exercised power to murder US citizens without due process and who
continues the Bush regime’s unconstitutional practice of violating
habeas corpus and detaining US citizens indefinitely; the same Obama who
promised transparency but runs the most secretive government in US
history.
The tyrant’s speech of
spectacular hypocrisy elicited from the invited audience applause on 36
occasions. Like so many others, Germans proved themselves willing to be
used for Washington’s propaganda purposes.
Here was Obama, who consistently lies, speaking of “eternal truth.”
Here was Obama, who enabled Wall
Street to rob the American and European peoples and who destroyed
Americans’ civil liberties and the lives of vast numbers of Iraqis,
Afghans, Yemenis, Libyans, Pakistanis, Syrians, and others, speaking of
“the yearnings of justice.” Obama equates demands for justice with
“terrorism.”
Here was Obama, who has
constructed an international spy network and a domestic police state,
speaking of “the yearnings for freedom.”
Here was Obama, president of a
country that has initiated wars or military action against six countries
since 2001 and has three more Muslim countries–Syria, Lebanon, and
Iran–in its crosshairs and perhaps several more in Africa, speaking of
“the yearnings of peace that burns in the human heart,” but clearly not
in Obama’s heart.
Obama has turned America into a
surveillance state that has far more in common with Stasi East Germany
than with the America of the Kennedy and Reagan eras. Strange, isn’t it,
that freedom was gained in East Germany and lost in America.
At the Brandenburg Gate, Obama
invoked the pledge of nations to “a Universal Declaration of Human
Rights,” but Obama continues to violate human rights both at home and
abroad.
Obama has taken hypocrisy to new
heights. He has destroyed US civil liberties guaranteed by the
Constitution. In place of a government accountable to law, he has
turned law into a weapon in the hands of the government. He has
intimidated a free press and prosecutes whistleblowers who reveal his
government’s crimes. He makes no objection when American police
brutalize peacefully protesting citizens. His government intercepts and
stores in National Security Agency computers every communication of
every American and also the private communications of Europeans and
Canadians, including the communications of the members of the
governments, the better to blackmail those with secrets.
Obama sends in drones or assassins to murder people in countries with
which the US is not at war, and his victims on most occasions turn out
to be women, children, farmers, and village elders. Obama kept Bradley
Manning in solitary confinement for nearly a year assaulting his human
dignity in an effort to break him and obtain a false confession. In
defiance of the US Constitution, Obama denied Manning a trial for three
years. On Obama’s instructions, London denies Julian Assange free
passage to his political asylum in Ecuador. Assange has become a
modern-day Cardinal Mindszenty. [Jozsef Mindszenty was the leader of
the Hungarian Catholic Church who sought refuge from Soviet oppression
in the US Embassy in Budapest. Denied free passage by the Soviets, the
Cardinal lived in the US Embassy for 15 years as a symbol of Soviet
oppression.]
This is the Obama who asked at
the orchestrated event at the Brandenburg Gate: “Will we live free or in
chains? Under governments that uphold our universal rights, or regimes
that suppress them? In open societies that respect the sanctity of the
individual and our free will, or in closed societies that suffocate the
soul?”
When the Berlin Wall came down,
the Stasi Spy State that suffocates the soul moved to Washington. The
Stasi is alive and well in the Obama regime.
