”(…)Half a year into Obama’s second term, it has become clear what has been done under his watch. He brought to the world massive banking fraud, drone attacks, indefinite detention, assassination of US citizens and an unprecedented war on whistleblowers. (…)”

[Goddard]

” (…)The decay of democracy in the United States is now undeniable, as all branches of the federal government have begun to betray the very ideals this country was founded on. (…)”

[Goddard]

” (…)Obama’s blatant violations of the Fourth Amendment have reached far beyond Richard Nixon’s Watergate scandal in 1974 that led him to resign under threat of impeachment. In the midst of Obama’s aggressive persecution of those who shine light on government crimes, where are all the courageous Americans? How have the people allowed such egregious acts by the government against the Constitution? (…)”

[Goddard]

” (…)Do Americans even care or are they so defeated and disempowered by a corporatized war machine they feel there is nothing they can do at all? (…)”

[Goddard]

” (…)After the 9/11 implosions of the Twin Towers, a climate of fear was manufactured using the rhetoric of a “war on terror”, accompanied by the repeated images of those towers collapsing. This, in turn, was followed by Secretary of State Colin Powell’s shameful performance of deceit at the UN Security Council about Iraq’s supposed weapons of mass destruction. Before the public recovered from the horrendous tragedy, the nation was rail-roaded into an illegal war. (…)”

[Goddard]

” (…)Obama’s manufactured brand has until now been quite effective in hiding its real intentions and those of its corporate overlords.(…) ”

[Goddard]

” (…)Under this guise of a liberal president, a Nobel Peace Prize laureate and constitutional scholar, Obama seems able to get away with policies unheard of since the last attempt at building up an imperial totalitarian state. The pretence of liberalism normalizes the most extreme policies with glib rhetoric of national security, thus neutralizing any oppositional force. (…)”

Stutter effect?

Why are you pasting seemingly random stuff without a source, or any explanation?

Goddard...you have to be joking..right? The recent (actually, current) performance of the republicans (and particularly the Tea Party throwbacks) in the u.s. congress has exposed the fundamentalist ideological agenda at play...and that is articulated via the propaganda technique of The Big Lie! (and we know who perfected that don't we!)
