Obama
has lifted the standards of the 'beast' so much that even someone
like Donald Trump would have to surpass himself in order to become
the worst president in the history of the United States
How many
lies can fit in a farewell speech? If you are the US president who
won the Nobel price while only in your last year in presidency you
have managed to bombard simultaneously seven countries by dropping
48,819 bombs, the answer is ... many lies.
Under the
music of U2 in the background, Obama attempted to present a false
picture of prosperity and security for the US citizens and the US
economy.
He had not
mention, of course, that, for the first time in the last 25 years,
the life expectancy of the US citizens has been reduced, while the
American youth sees its incomes decreasing. For a young American, the
only positive indexes under Obama presidency, are the deaths from
drugs and the rise of national debt which will transform a whole
generation into servants of the bankers. The enlargement of
inequalities together with the transformation of a huge part of the
population into a kind of servants with low-paid part-time jobs,
Obama had indeed several reasons to weep in his farewell speech.
However, the tears in his eyes were tears of joy.
The biggest
problem for humanity, is that by following the orders of the
economic, political and military establishment, the last days Obama
attempts to create pre-fixed conditions both for the interior and for
the foreign policy of the US superpower. The development of US troops
that will be permanently stationed in Poland, for the first time in
history, is a clear message of war to Moscow.
This action
is taking place between the end of US elections and Trump's
inauguration, despite that the decision has been taken a year ago.
This shows that the US establishment is not satisfied just by the war
climate created by the new US president against China. The
establishment wants to keep an open front against Russia too.
During the
last week, Obama rushed to broaden the surveillance powers of the
NSA. Through the new orders, NSA can share with other 16 agencies
huge amounts of data from around the planet. Through this way, the
last internal control mechanisms of the intelligence services will
disappear, as well as, all discrimination responsibilities. Just
think that, it has been revealed in 2014 that the NSA is capable
of recording and examining 850 billion files of phone and internet
communications. One can easily understand that, one of the biggest
"parties" of the intelligence services in the history of
humanity, has just started.
Leaving the
White House, Obama has created the conditions through which Trump can
govern as a totalitarian dictator without the need to pass any new
law. Internationally, Obama leaves behind a network of military bases
in 138 countries that will allow the US special forces to operate
instantly throughout 70% of the planet. Those US enemies that will
not be killed by the thousands of drones developed by Obama, could be
captured and imprisoned in Guantanamo which remained fully
operational, through the CIA kidnapping network.
Inside the
US, the police militarization that has been accelerated during Obama
terms, as well as, the increase of military operations inside the
cities (with the general rehearsal of curfew in Boston), delivers to
the next president a Praetorian army, capable to crush any social
resistance through a bloodbath. Ten thousand people have been
murdered by the police after 2009 and two million people rot in US
prisons (the United States under Obama has now more prisoners in
absolute numbers, even than China). This is a situation that many of
the biggest dictators of 20th and 21th century would want for
themselves.
Trump will
find difficult to expel more than three million immigrants, like
Obama did, breaking every historical record. He will further realize
that the wall that has promised to his voters has already been built,
either through a natural shape, or through electronic means of border
surveillance.
In the
economic level, Trump also receives a 'well-plowed' field for the 1%
of his richest fellow citizens. When Obama took power, the 400
richest Americans had a combined fortune of 1.57 trillion dollars,
while today, they bid farewell to the black president with 2.4
trillion dollars in their pockets.
Some
predecessors of Obama, would certainly exhibit worse 'achievements'
in specific sectors. However, it is difficult for us to remember
someone who has 'triumphed' in so many fields: bombarded so many
countries, signed such a high military budgets, executed and tortured
through extrajudicial decisions so many people, helped the financial
system to enlarge inequality between the rich and the poor to such
extent, recorded so many conversations between people, fiercely
hunted down the whistleblowers of these actions.
Obama has
lifted the standards of the 'beast' so much that even someone like
Donald Trump would have to surpass himself in order to become the
worst president in the history of the United States.
