As the USA falls economically, politically and spiritually, the intensely wicked ruling class increasingly bleeds the middle class and crushes the underclass, especially the long-suffering slave descendants who have no Human Rights. Since America has always been a racist oligarchy since its inception, no one believes that the system plans to suddenly become humane just because it now presents a humane looking spokesperson to the world. Although the Obama Administration claims to be striving for peace in diverse war-torn regions, the grim reality is that it cannot even bring peace to Chicago’s southside or any other decaying inner city in the USA because it does not acknowledge the root causes of long-term oppression, specifically ethnocide and forced assimilation. As long as President Obama opposes Human Rights and Reparations for 250 million Afrodescendants in the western hemisphere while continuing to wage unjust wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and pursuing neo-colonial ambitions in other lands, no civilized people can trust him.
Sincerely,
Senator Malik Al-Arkam

I absolutely agree with mathrise’s comment.. There is a natural law which cannot be twisted by man: that of cause and effect and if you look back as to what USA and some of Europe’s countries have done to Africa and Latin America (to mention just a couple of victims) with total arrogance and even using the name of God as their co-pilot, you cannot expect a humane world any more than you can expect justice. The current model is so utterly cruel because it is based on causes started long ago by a kind of rapacious sub-species and no substantial changes can ocurr unless each man assumes its share of responsibility on this chaos. Manufacturing weapons is evil, since weapons have but one purpose: to kill ,sending troops to other countries regardless of the excuse mentioned to do so, brings about death and pain on innocents, endless greed can only be satisfied by slavery of millions. Changing the name of War Ministry to Defense Ministry is a world-wice hypocrisy. If nobody wished to go to war, nobody would need to be arming themselves and spending fortunes on armed forces. I know it is hard to admit it, but the only way out is by searching for the causes of all this, instead of beating around the bush (excuse my language) expecting miracles.

There is a famous sentence by Lampeduza in his book “Il Gattopardo” which says: “Something must change so that everything remains the same”. The apparent openings shown lately are just a way of letting the huge amount of steam accumulated by lies, unjustice, accumulation of money and power don’t end up in a violent volcano eruption. So, for some time we will watch new tricks trying to make us believe the rulers of the world have decided to become open-minded, generous and loving, ready to accept dissenters and free-thinkers while they design new ways of domination or distract people’s attention of real causes of the mess we are in by producing new fears, uncertainties, manipulation of news and all the uncovered weapons they handle so cleverly but no real changes will be allowed. So be prepared, and be strong.

I trust the Obama administration to successfully manage the nuclear crisis with Iran as much as I did the Carter administration to bring a successful conclusion to the U.S. Embassy Tehran hostage crisis from ‘79-‘81.
The latter was not resolved until a new president took office, and I bet the former will not be either in this case.
What the failures of the Obama administration’s foreign policy towards Iran will mean to the rest of the world is a completely different question, and one fraught with the most severe consequences for Middle East peace this decade and beyond.

Ya know , basically my personal feelings towards Obama are that he is at his core a good man , that the situation is the problem at this point ; more than the individual in office…
When I voted for him , I knew what I was getting , so there is no need to bad mouth the guy now ; at less not yet….
The global oligarchy that we speak of has been in effect for quite some time ; I , again personally ; never expected Obama to be able to fix any of these problems in the first year in office ; much less 4 years , if at all….
It is clear to Blackhorse ( yea I know some don’t appreciate me referring to myself in the third person , but this is the so-called cyberspace , so I figure why not indulge a little ), anyway , it is clear that in order to change this paradigm , we as the people suffering under this industrial military complex , whether here in the states or in the diaspora , have got to come up with new systems of resistance in order to , at the very lest , stay neck to neck with our common oppressor….
Now the old systems of resistance did work ; we know this because after the 60’s revolution , the plutocracy increased it’s emphasis on the build up of military power…. Those that were involved in that stuggle , scared the crap out of the ruling class…The 60’s revolution was a military defeat for the left , but out of that defeat , folks learned a lot about how the power elite function….
We know that they LOVE two things above all else , even their own children ; and that is money and much more important than money is POWER…Now their true power is based in the resources that they so-called ” free trade for “....This terminology is just a dodge for the fact that they are actually ” stealing ” these resources from the indigenous populations of the world….
So the solution to this extremely complex problem is based on our ability too , marginalize them financially….Deinvestment in their financial institutions , such as the large corporate banking concerns , would be a logical start…These funds could then be reinvested in smaller , locally owned banks and or credit unions…This strategy was discussed on the news program DemocracyNow earlier this month , the date escapes me at this moment , but the information is available on their website DemocracyNow.org…
So these are the strategies that we must begin to seriously contemplate , if we are going to make a dent in this systematically corrupt , xenophobically unscrupulous , oligarchically facsist state run gov’t…..
So with these last words , Blackhorse bids all that are willing , too live for the people…Think strategically , do not think in a reactionary manner , this is exactly what the enemy of the people want and profit from , the reactionary movements of the so-called masses…..

Good article by Noam Chomsky.
I’m gratified and VERY surprised that the New York Times news service is circulating an article by Chomsky, who has been banned from the pages of the New York Review of Books since the late 1970’s. (In the late 1960’s and early 1970’s Chomsky wrote some of the most famous articles in the NYR of B, but then the political tides shifted.)
