An absolute monster has taken up residence in the White House.
That this monster is able to continue is testament to the global fascist dictatorship we live in.
The American "people" are impotent collectively. They cannot disgorge the monster in the White House tho' it is common knowledge that monster is there.
So much for government by the people in our world dictatorship.
So much for the "republic" that never was.
Clearly there never was a real "republic" in the United States.
And the entire world suffers on account of it. All of humanity suffers because of what is fomenting from the "United States of America".
From Veterans Today:
Indeed Obama’s supporters were enchanted by the phony rhetoric, the demagogy, the ‘populist style’, and the fake ‘authenticities’. Here was the man who promised to end the wars, close the torture concentration camp in Guantanamo , bring Wall Street to heel, repeal the Patriot Act and restore the Bill of Rights. And he was ‘their guy’ – shooting hoops in an urban playground – something Bush had never done! In truth, Barack Hussein Obama did a lot that Bush never dared to do – he surpassed Bush by far in committing war crimes against humanity – pushing for more military adventures abroad and police state repression at home. He exceeded by far any President in US history in assuming dictatorial police powers, in waging multiple wars while directing the massive transfer of state revenues to Wall Street bankers. President Obama, hands down, will be regarded as the greatest con-man President in American history. The Carters, Reagans and Clintons all pale in comparison: the enormous gap between style and substance, promise and performance, peace and war, capital and labor has never been greater.
It is President Obama’s hollow eloquence that raised the hopes of millions at home and abroad only to condemn them to an inferno of endless wars. It is the perversity of his rhetoric which attracts the Latino vote with promises of immigrant citizenship while his policy has been fill detention centers with hundreds of thousands of immigrant workers and their families. His soaring rhetoric promising justice for Muslims in Cairo was followed by the bloody bombing of Tripoli, the torture and slaughter of the Libyan patriot President Gadhafi; the broken promises to the Palestinians contrasts with the embrace of the bloody Israeli warlords.

Presidential Rule by Deception: Obama, the Master Con-man
by Professor James Petras
In an electoral system, run by and for a corporate oligarchy, deception and demagoguery are essential elements – entertaining the people while working for the wealthy.
Every US President has engaged, in one fashion or another, in ‘play acting’ to secure popular approval, neutralize hostility and distract voters from the reactionary substance of their foreign and domestic policies.
The truth is out at least, which is the first step to world cure. Brave journos can be thanked for that. But what is NEEDED to take down the world tyranny is the rule of law.
This is what the American "republic" is supposed to stand for. This is where it has failed. The collective has failed its individual citizens. It has failed humanity.
There is no solidarity amongst the resistance, that is the apparent problem in the US - and you really have to ask why because it seems there is an at least vocal minority that would resist. A solidarity amongst that resistance should politically force the enforcement of the rule of law. That would take down the tyranny, it would take down Obama who relentlessly violates the American constitution.
But it seems the vocal minority is, for some reason, impotent as a collective drive. Why? The sincerity of the vocal resistance, unfortunately and heartbreakingly for the entire world, for all of humanity, has got to be questioned.
