Obama : A Seamless Refurbished Bush

FARHAT MAQUAMI
While the Liberals are talking about another socialite to be nominated to replace Hillary Clinton, Neo-Cons stole the Election and are setting policies for a "seamless" transition of Bush Policies to Obamas obama'agenda!
The Liberals should not be surprised by Obama’s selection of the Right Wing Evangelist Rick Warren because they don’t understand Obama. Their infatuation with Obama has blinded Obama’s social philosophy.

Those on the left, or anti-war movement are surprised by the direction Obama has taken to the right. Lets make it clear Obama has never said he is Anti-War, pro-Black civil right activist, or progressive in economic theory or Future of Military Missions of the Empire. The Progressives are still daydreaming and are giving him the benefit of the doubt.
With every Cabinet appointment he is proving to be a refurbished Bush. His election, the Festivities of his inauguration, the rhetoric of Change might prove to be the smokescreen to fool the world America has changed while carrying the same bankrupt policies.

As he declared vigorously the night he disconnected his connection with the Black Church and his spiritual mentor :” Reverent Wright does not know me.” He should have continued I used the Black Church to get elected in Chicago, I used them to get elected in the Senate, I used it to unseat Clinton ; since I never thought of my self as Black , never shared their history. I was born from a white mother an a Kenyan Father.

The infatuation of the Liberal America and disillusioned Americans with the Republican Party,
and 6 years of war which has brought disrepute to America outside and economic bankruptcy to the US economy, has not permitted them to question Obama’s Policies. Yet, sooner or later the Liberals would notice that they have been betrayed not in the war in Iraq but a wide range of policies. Lets analyze all the contradictions. The trick is the phrase he is using now “seamless transition”!

In Defense he is going to use Robert Gate so the Bush agenda in Iraq would continue ”seamlessly” ! He has never made a clear statement after the election about Iraq. He never told Iraqis that he is getting out in 18 months and they better vote to pick-up the bill.
Like Bush and McCain he wants to close the Guantanamo Bay Torture Chamber, but he is not saying how to release the torture victims or how is he going to prosecute those who violated the international law and American Human Right Principals by torturing innocents, driving many to commit suicide and others who have become mentally deranged. He is not declaring to the World that Americans are going to wash their hands of the blood of innocents in Abo Gharieb prison by bringing these criminals to trial. He wants bi-partisanship, while Bush drove this country to the edge of madness by far lesser Vote in a disputed election and never sought bipartisanship for his reign of terror.
In iraq, he now wants a “seamless” withdrawal and carry it out by letting the same Generals follow the same agenda and carry us to hell of political disrepute and economic disaster.
He forced the Democrats to keep Liberman, who is more vicious than Bush administration toward Iraq and Domestic surveillance as Chairman of the powerful Homeland Security. The left is still simmering in infatuation so all concern have not even considered the implication of this stupid act as Obama’s framework of action toward war and national security.
He put a 4 Star general and a close friend of McCain in charge of his National Security.
He has made many speeches and funny interviews, yet he has not still told the world that the vicious, illegal, and universally condemned Bush Doctrine of Preemptive War would be rejected on his first day in office. This would assure the world that we would be entering a new era of cooperation, diplomacy and the rule of law.
He is probably going to announce that he would keep the FBI and the CIA Director for another seamless transition rather that making a declaration that while in presidency he would ensure that he would issue a new Executive Order to stop all Extraordinary Renditions and Country’s adherence to Geneva Convention.
In order to calm the world he also should declare that he would stop the War on Terror which has not only terrorized the world but encouraged and enabled every anti-democratic regimes and every Feudal Warlord to use the most vicious methods to terrorize their own people. We have never heard from him that he is a man of Peace, wants to bring Peace to the World and to achieve this would stop supporting the undemocratic government. Most opposition of various Islamic group is not to Americans or America but to the American support of their oppressive regimes and therefore America is going to bring Peace to the world, not by arms but by diplomacy.
Government as Instrument of ruling Class

The economic collapse of the US financial bastion of the US Empire has brought about the beginning of the end of Capitalism. Capitalism under the guise of Free Trade has brought global disaster. The collapse of the myth of progress, economic expansions, massive consumption simply cannot work in a world with limited resources.
Revolution in rising expectation of the masses of dispossessed would be the beginning of the end of Capitalism as we know it. There would be riots, disturbances , spontaneous revolts against the ruling class in every continent. The revolt of “have-nots” against the “haves” would be in Global scale in the whole world.

Capitalist Countries of the G8 and now G20 are the one who can manipulate currency market, Print Currencies of thin air and find customers to buy their bonds in the open market. Yet no one has even thought what would be the impact of these printing worthless papers, then deceive the world to sell their goods and then re-spend it in purchasing other products . What would happen at the end is you have too much currency circulating in the market would cause the collapse of the market, as the money becomes useless. The money that the US prints has value so far as there are dictators who can squeeze them out of their working class, exploit their masses and transfer the ‘Surplus Value” back to the US banks in forms of “treasury Bonds”! What Chinese Communists are doing in China is similar to what dictotors in the Mid-east have been doing for decades.
War on Terror was preemptive attack on pupular uprising, revolt of the masses, National resistance to Oppressive Regimes imposed on countries deprived from basic human rights.
Mobarak, King Faisel, Khadaffi, Malaki and Karzaii are just the tip of the Iceburg. We are arming these puppets to teeth, show the best way to torture and subvert resistance and call every indigenous Liberation Movement a “Terrorist Organization.” These policies can halt the resistance but would never stop innovations to face the oppression and the human desire to be Free. That is whay Obma, if he has any human decency must Change course not only in Iraq but the whole notion of the “War on Terror.”, or what is referred to as war without end!

Empires went to war not because their desire to conquer. Empire went to war for economic reason to control trade routs, to get raw materials, weather it was salt, grains, arable lands, gold or finished products. They did not go to war to waste money. They did not go to war and spend human lives and precious resources just to make other Warlords, and drug dealers rich or help them build a better distributing system.

The US is going into Afghanistan under an Obama administration on a humanitarian mission to civilize them while fighting Taliban! But Taliban is Islam and Islam is their religion then how you want to change them and what God give you mission to change them.
Finally, you need your resources in this country to build roads, and build infrastructure not in Afghanistan! Why we are financing 450000 mercenaries and troops in Iraq and paying for 600000 Iraqis as our extra Security force when we need the money here! We would be spending for 70000 US troops in addition to 200000 mercenaries in Afghanistan. Obama should tell us where he gets these billions of dollars ? And why he would be borrowing money to spend in Afghanistan while we need factories here?
Obama was the candidate of Wall Street and he was the one who went to Capital hill and twisted arms of Democratic Representatives, threatened them with possibility of Marshal law to get 750 billions dollars for the Bankers. He has never objected to the fact that a bankrupt Government is printing money out of thin air, creating public debts, to help the capitalists, in a free market economy! Obama has proved to be the advocate of “Socialism for the Rich” and free fall for the masses!

He was the one who actually intimidated 15 Black representatives to vote for Bush 750 Billion package which more than half of it went to subsidize the Banks buying other banks and the rest is going buy toxic assets, bad debts and mortgages. By appointing people like the Chairman of Federal reserve in NY, and all other insiders, who bare responsible for our economic disaster, he is proving more and more to be the Candidate of Wall Street. CitiBank got 20 Billion in one second, yet Three Auto-makers had to go through much humiliation for a fifteen billion dollars loan.

It seems that he does not understand that building an "economic base" means that this country must produce goods that we may sell. Therefore we must be a producer nation and have factories, not a nation who builds "infrastructure", roads, solar panels, bridges in which it transports manufactured products from China, India and Mexico. He talks about building “infrastructure”; infrastructure is a service to transport products, not an industrial production base! It is a fraud upon the future of America if all these “Bail Outs” are actually using public money to help the Capitalists and Bankers to exploit the working class.
Obama's proposed Public projects would bring 3 Trillions dollars Budget Deficit without seriously facing the real problem. US needs to produce goods that we can sell abroad, so we reduce our balance of trade deficit!
Obama has never declared his opposition to NFTA, de-Reaganization of our economy. re-industrialization of the US,reducing balance of trade,and stopping the imperialistic War Policies of the Bush administration which has cost us close to a trillion dollars.

Until we reject the principal that "out-sourcing" is wrong for this nation and spending on guns for future wars means throwing the future of this great nation outside, and depending on issuing Treasury Bonds, borrowing from China, consuming cheap products from abroad, transferring our technology and factories abroad for cheaper labor, we would never solve our economic problems.

Obama has never revealed how we are going to pay for almost 5 Trillion Dollars bogus money to be printed by the Federal Reserve out of the Tin Air in order to save this economy. How are we going to survive if we do not negotiate our way out of NAFTA ?
How the 5 trillion dollars of increase in National Debts would impair our prosperity as a debtor to seriously impair our economic future.

In all his daily shows ,parades of his new administration, and his constant rhetoric for fools, there is nothing as yet to address the Military-Wall street Complex, which has brought this great nation to its knees and would continue to do so!

Until now he has proved to be as "seamless" as Bush could be with a Black Mask. It is up those who were deceived by his rhetoric not fall into his justification and excuses and expose his hypocrisy. After all you did nor elect a Black candidate to become the darling of Wall Street, idol of Fox news, the protagonist for Evangelists and apologist for War on Terror.
