Dictatorship USA: US Military halts flights of critical Haiti earthquake patients out of Haiti.. because Haiti is a DICTATORSHIP run COLONY of the US military...

Since when did THE US MILITARY determine who could, and could not, fly out of Haiti? 
 Oh yeah... since Haiti became a de facto DICTATORSHIP COLONY of America, going back.. well, going back to at least the days when the Likudnik "Israel first" Neo-Cons, and Southern radical Right-Wing George Bush-Jeb Bush-Dick Cheney-Tom DeLay-Bill Frist-Trent Lott-Strom Thurmond & Jesse Helms (etc.) neo-Confederate Republicans  conspired together to steal  the election of 2000.
(And since the President Bush,  CIA, and US Big Business ORCHESTRATED  DICTATORSHIP COUP in Haiti 3 years later, in Feb. 2004.)
  Flowery Ivy League words and speeches notwithstanding, THIS - rule by US military dictatorship - IS the "model" for the future, according to President Barack Obama and his "brain-trust" of  Neo-Cons, war- profiteers, Big Finance financial terrorists, and the other Clinton-Bush administration economy-killing  retreads in the Obama White House and throught the NY/DC Washington "establishment" and US government.
  Hell, LETTING PEOPLE DIE from LACK OF MEDICAL CARE,  _is_ America's policy... for THOUSANDS  of AMERICANS families! 
 TRILLIONS of American taxpayer dollars  for the US Likudnik run military to run overseas wars, and de facto U.S.  dictatorship colonies...  so those US forces can FORCE PATIENTS TO DIE  from medical neglect... whether in Haiti or in America, praise Jesus, Mary, Joseph, and Moses!  
US Halts Airlifts Of Haiti Patients, Citing Space

 MIAMI — The U.S. military has halted flights carrying Haitian earthquake victims to the United States because of an apparent dispute over where seriously injured patients should be taken for treatment.
An American doctor treating victims in Port-au-Prince warned that at least 100 patients needed to get to better hospitals or they could die, while the U.S. government said it was working to expand hospital capacity in both Haiti and in the U.S.
It was unclear exactly what prompted the Wednesday decision by the U.S. military to suspend the flights, or when it would end. Military officials said some states were refusing to take patients, though they wouldn't say which states.
"There has been no policy decision by anyone to suspend evacuee flights," White House spokesman Tommy Vietor said. "This situation arose as we started to run out of room."

More on Obama's disgraceful, bald-faced ORWELLIAN LYING: health care "Reform" SABOTAGING Obama, PRETENDS he is concerned with cost containment!

In the below video, we have a disgraceful, positively ORWELLIAN (which is to say, "Nazi-esque") example of President Obama's  ARROGANCE, DECEIT,  and DICTATORIAL tendencies.  
(photo, left: Obama PRETENDS to SCOLD Republicans for "obstructing" genuine health care reform... even as his own "Economic Hit Man" enforcer of a White House Chief of Staff,  Rahm Emanuel, does the Republicans' DIRTY WORK FOR THEM,  it is EMANUEL & Obama and their "Blue Dog" Senate "Democrat" allies who have been SIDING WITH Big  INSURANCE,  Big Pharma, and Big HMOs  to OBSTRUCT a  "public option"  health care reform... from even consideration, from even   DEBATE,  for ALL of 2009.
Photo, right: Obama's dictatorial ENFORCERS:   Baltimore downtown cops, and hotel management, collude to ARREST Doctor Jennifer Flowers for holding a sign, and for trying to hand Obama staffers a letter advocating a form of government run health  care (Medicare for All)  at a hotel entrance that Obama staffers will use.  
Access to the president &  his staffers is VERBOTTEN in Barack Obama & Rahm Emanuel's DICTATORIAL,  cynical, bullying, deceitful,  profiteering, kick-backs,  & slush funds corruption,  lying from the presidential podium America.... 
see for yourself in the  video -

   As we've said before here at DemNationUSA,  Mr. Obama is fast becoming a 20th century version of an African SLAVE TRADE KING,  profiting from the misery, death, despair, and enslavement of his neighboring tribes,   as those slave-trade kings held the freshly enslaved captives in their fortress castle trading ports, and traded them to European merchants and slavers for imported wealth, whether guns, rum, cloth, gold,  or any of the other products of the 14th to 19th century slave trade that West Africa ports received from the trans-Atlantic slave trade. 
   In this case, Mr. Obama, who is owned by the Wall Street,  Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan-Chase  "Financial Terrorists" financiers who have crashed the U.S. economy,   has privately and behind the scenes SABOTAGED genuine health-care reform on behalf of the very BIG INSURANCE COMPANIES (an element of Wall St. and the Big Finance financiers) that he campaigned against all through 2008. Whether OBSTRUCTING  the "Public Option" that THE MAJORITY of Americans want (nearly 65%, despite the corporate media's disgraceful complicity with the Big Insurance Jihad to smear and diminish a Public Option alternative to private, for profit health care) ,  or some version of SINGLE PAYER insurance that most of the industrialized world already has,  President Obama disgracefully  used his State of the Union (SOTU) speech to PRETEND that such options  don't even exist! 
   And the cost is far from trivial:  In true Wall Street/Financial Terrorist manner,  Mr. Obama's  focus   exclusively on   the "COSTS" of providing  health care UNDER THE CURRENT, PROFIT-uber-alles system....  implicitly defends the right of health insurance executives to SKIM  BILLIONS of dollars of "PROFITS" off the top of America's health care bills; "profits" and executive compensation which can only be obtained by DENYING  medical coverage to insurance policy holders who have paid their premiums, often for decades when they were healthy.
  Not only does this current system create 45,000 ANNUAL DEATHS from Americans dying of treatable illnesses but DENIED medical care... not only does that number include 17,000 AMERICAN CHILDREN per year....  but the number almost certainly understates the number of Americans who have cancers and other illnesses METASTASIZING in their bodies, because they have gone UNDIAGNOSED by lack of preventative health care until it is far too late (and costly) to treat those late-stage diseases. 
  And here's the fourth major cost of Obama's  HEALTH CARE REFORM SABOTAGE of 2009...
(besides  #1. Americans DYING from lack of health care;  #2. Americans DENIED PREVENTATIVE health care; and besides #3.  MEDICAL BANKRUPTCIES under the current "we want money, or you can just go ahead and  die" health care system)
...there are the Single Payer and Public Option supporters  Mr. Obama's government has HAD ARRESTED - on at least 3 different ocassions now, Mr. Obama has played "THE GOOD GERMAN"  feigning ignorance, as protesters supporting REAL reform, are HAULED OFF BY POLICE, at the call of Mr. Obama's  reform SABOTAGING allies, whether Senator Max Baucus LAUGHING as he CALLS FOR MORE POLICE to ARREST doctors from SinglePayerAction.org  
  
(and again a day or two later from another Baucus chaired conference hearing that SinglePayerAction doctors were arrested from)
 or the most recent case (top video) Dr. Jennifer Flowers ARRESTED at a Baltimore hotel trying to hand any Obama aide  a letter that would butress the argument for some form of government run health insurance.
 Below, the video of Obama's ARROGANT, DICTATORIAL DISGRACE:  PRETENDING to be concerned about health care costs, pretending to be concerned with genuine health care reform, even as, behind the scenes, he is SABOTAGING even discussion of the Public Option, even as Mr. Obama is CENSORING DEBATE on  the Public Option, and even as he coldly DOES  NOTHING as American doctors ARE ARRESTED, protesting a health care crisis  that leads directly to  UNNECESSARY AMERICAN DEATHS from medical care denied, leads to THOUSANDS upon millions of health care BANKRUPTCIES - here are Mr. Obama's own ORWELLIAN,  lying-in-our-faces words:
  Obama from his disgraceful Jan. 2010 SOTU speech:  "If ANYONE from either party, has a better approach that will BRING DOWN PREMIUMS, bring down the deficit, cover the uninsured,  strengthen medicare for seniors, and stop insurance company abuses, LET ME KNOW... I'm EAGER to see it!"
  FOR SHAME, Mr. Obama!  You are both a bald-faced liar, AND a DICTATORIAL BULLY,  you are CENSORING and ARRESTING  those who would bring your abject lies (and craven corporate donors KICBACKS and slush-fund corruption)  health care reform SABOTAGE  to public attention!

 ( Mr. Obama's relentless lies and sabotage have even corrupted Ed Schultz, who plays Mr. Obama's comments at face value,  so to "finally get something going"  in the way  of  health care "reform." 
Radio talk show host Big Ed  was once America's most vocal Public Option advocate,  he his now effectively helping Obama, Emanuel, Baucus, and the despised joe Lieberman   RAM their  Senate 'health care reform"  atrocity through the Congress,  in order to "get it done" in Mr. Schultz's words.
At least Mr. Schultz had Congressman Kucinich on to give the rational, sane, humane  approach to health care reform:  REJECT Obama's INSANE SENATE ATROCITY of a BILL,  in its entirety,  as a "non starter"!)

 If you support the courageous efforts of Americans like Dr. Flowers and Dr. Carol Paris to BREAK THROUGH the abject LIES and Republican,  insurance company, corporate media, AND "Democratic"  Party  dictatorial CENSORSHIP of the health care debate, please support http://www.singlepayeraction.org/ with your contributions, or send Dr. Flowers a letter of encouragement and support for her sacrifice of time, career, and psychological   effort trying to break through President Obama's disgraceful obstruction of genuine health care reform.

Obama the Bald-Faced HYPOCRITE LIAR: Bashes "LOBBYISTS" in his SotU speech.. then INVITES THEM to PRIVATE Pow-wow next day!

My, what a forked tounge devil the gods have inflicted on us Americans!
 (Serves us right for spending billions of dollars following golf stars & other celebrities, instead of DEMANDING that our children get access to  decent health-care...) 
   In this case,  THE VERY DAY AFTER  Mr. Obama bashed "LOBBYISTS" in his State of the Union Speech (2 nights ago), Mr. Obama... INVITED  LOBBYISTS and "stakeholders" to a private conference-call!
   There's some more of that RAHM EMANUEL radical RIGHT-WING REPUBLICAN / Neo-Con deceit, MASQUERADING as "Democratic" for public consumption again! 
  HECKUVA JOB THERE,   Obama-Bushie!
  After Obama Rips Lobbyists, K Street INSIDERS
get PRIVATE  Policy BRIEFINGS
By Bob Cusack,   TheHill.com
 Jan. 28, 2010 
 http://thehill.com/homenews/administration/78509-after-obama-rips-k-street-administration-invites-lobbyists-to-private-briefings 
A day after bashing lobbyists, President Barack Obama’s administration has invited K Street insiders to join private briefings on a range of topics addressed in Wednesday’s State of the Union.
The Treasury Department on Thursday morning invited selected individuals to “a series of conference calls with senior Obama administration officials to discuss key aspects of the State of the Union address.”....  (cont'd)

List of COWARDLY "Democrat" Senators who VOTED FOR BEN BERNANKE? Hell, We've got a New list of LIARS who SAID they'd support PUBLIC OPTION Health Care 'reform' - WHEN their pledge MEANT NOTHING!

Let's face it:  Americans have become ignorant couch potatoes, who get the vital information they need to run their lives - information on taxes,  crumbling bridges, foreign wars of conquest and financial terrorism, pension and investments security,  the very health care to save their own lives and those of their families - from  major media corporations (conglomerates) who,  just as the State Department and Department of Defense PROFIT from WARS and FINANCIAL TERRORISM, so too do the major media corporations PROFIT from the selling of ignorance and lies to the American public.
  Case in point:  President Obama's disgraceful, treacherous, deceitful SABOTAGE of real health care reform,  President Obama (via his "Israel uber alles" economic hit-man of a White House Chief of Staff,  so-called "investment banker" and Chicago political hack Rahm Emanuel)  was actually SABOTAGING REAL "reform" - even as he TRIED to BLAME  REPUBLICANS, and  "Blue Dog" Dem. Senators, for his OWN CRAVEN TREACHERY.
  The proof of the above is, yet again, SIMPLICITY ITSELF to those not completely deluded by the lies emanating from Washington and the NY corporate media:
  Here's the list of 51 "Democrat" Senators who CLAIMED to BE FOR  Public Option health care reform.. back when they could HIDE behind the Republican + "Blue Dog" FILIBUSTER threats.
    Now that Idiot Obama and his radical Right-Wing wrecking crew of a Financial Terrorist Extortion Racket, er,  "economics team's"  "economic policies" have DRIVEN MASS. VOTERS to ELECT A REPUBLICAN to Ted Kennedy's old seat - that is, now that the Obama "Democrats" in the Senate no longer CONTROL 60 seats - suddenly  President Obama & his wrecking crew ARE NO LONGER CONCERNED with getting  a full 60 votes to pass Health Care reform, after all!
       AND SUDDENLY RAHM EMANUEL  & Idiot Obama are  going to go with "RECONCILIATION" or other legislative tactics to pass their  ATROCITY of a consumer extortion  "health care" bill... but, whadda ya know,  THEY STILL are not EVEN TRYING to include Public Option in their little atrocity!
  BECAUSE  Barack Obama, Rahm Emanuel,  Robert Rubin (on line 3), Lawrence Summers, Timmy Geithner, and the entire Obama White House wrecking crew  RADICAL RIGHT-WING REPUBLICANS masquerading as "Democrats"!

Cowardly, Corrupt Senate "Democrats" CONFIRM Bernanke - former President Bush's TREASURY-GUTTING Right-Wing Fed Chairman... so he can CONTINUE his Work of DESTROYING the US Economy...

 The cowardly, craven, disgraceful "Democrats" in the US Senate BOW to  pressure FROM THE ISRAEL LOBBY (Jewish American voters) and Wall Street,  and RE-CONFIRM  Ben Bernanke as President Bush's (now President Obama's)  RADICAL Right-Wing Federal Reserve Chairman, so he can.. CONTINUE his excellent job of.. leading the PREMEDITATED DESTRUCTION of the U.S.  Economy,  SHIPPING entire  US INDUSTRIES (much less individual factories) wholesale to Communist China, and shipping the (short term) PROFITS from that DISMANTLING of US industry, to offshore bank accounts in Israel, China,  the Cayman Islands, and other "off-shore,"  BEYOND THE REACH of American TAXES accounts.
    This DISGRACEFUL vote, by COWARDLY, CRAVEN, CORRUPT  US "Democrat" Senators, is no more, and no less, than  a REPEAT of the COWARDLY  "Democrat" Senators  NOT voting  to support the BLACK CONGRESSIONAL CAUCUS demand for a SIMPLE  Congressional investigation, into MASSIVE VOTER DISENFRANCHISEMENT in Florida by then  Republican presidential candidate George W. Bush's brother, Jeb Bush, and Jeb's then Secretary of State, Katherine Harris, during the stolen-election  faux "recount" process in Florida in November 2000.

  We CAN'T EVEN BOTHER TO SOURCE (cite, link, list) the COWARDLY "Democrat" Senators who have voted for this  CRAVEN TREACHERY today... like the BETRAYAL of  55 million Democratic  voters by the COWARDLY, CORRUPT  Dem Senators in Nov. and December 2000,  this atrocity of  a  vote will stand out LIKE A BEACON OF BETRAYAL  for years to come. 

  But below, Max Keiser's latest video repeats Mr. Keiser's by now every-day theme:  "Democrat" President Barack Obama has infested his own presidential administration, his entire "economic leadership" team,  with FINANCIAL TERRORISTS, the very bankers who lobbied for RADICAL RIGHT-WING financial DEREGULATION policies (written by Radical Right-Wing  Texas Republican, then Senator, Phil Gramm, and SIGNED into law  by then so-called "Democratic" President, Bill Clinton, in 1999 and 2000).... and then proceeded to DRIVE THEIR  OWN  banks and financial firms INTO THE TOILET of BANKRUPTCY and TRILLIONS of dollars of  "credit default" and "Derivatives" debt....  saved ONLY by  billions upon trillions of dollars of  taxpayer extorted "bailouts".... "BAILOUTS" achieved ONLY by the BRIBERY of Congress by Wall Street and the ISRAEL/AIPAC lobby, which never sees a FINANICAL TERRORIST they don't love - 

     The dirty secret of  Political Science is that, trappings of art and architecture, wealth, nobility, and royalty notwithstanding,  throughout history the most powerful "leaders" in the world have simply been the most efficient  THUGS,  the most ruthless and determined "robber barons," kings, and would-be emperors who are best able to DISPOSE of their rivals, and extort taxes and the wealth of economic production out of their captive populations;   just as the dictator regimes came to power on the eve of WWII in Germany, Italy, Japan, and elsewhere  ruthlessly ELIMINATED their opposition and turned their nation's economies to pursuit of war and war profits & conquest.
    Americans today,  not appreciative of 100+ years of  INCREASINGLY 'liberal,' increasingly democratic, increasing worker and social safety laws,  rising pay scales and pension protections,  today Americans are getting a taste of the DICTATORIAL HIJACKING of America,  by insanely greedy bankers and FOREIGN POWERS, ENABLED by AMERICAN voters, who are too ignorant or complicit to demand finanical oversight of the companies that are destroying American jobs, financial security, and the American social safety net.  

 Greenspan, Bernanke, former Goldman-Sachs Chairman Robert Rubin and his arrogant protege   Lawrence Summers;  Goldman-Sachs,  JPMorgan-Chase, Citi-bank, are all the de facto  ECONOMIC DICTATORS of America today, ENABLED and EMPOWERED by BOTH  Republican Presidents (Bush-41 and Bush-43), AND "Democratic" Presidents (Clinton, now Obama), and the proof of this is simplicity itself:  with their allies in the Neo-Con controlled Congress and Neo-Con controlled US press & media (Washington Post, New York Times, CNN, Time/Warner, LA Times, Chicago Tribune, ABC 'news',  etc.)   the Rubin-Summers-Greenspan-Bernanke  GOLDMAN SACHC /JPMorgan/Citi-bank crew DEMAND ALL CREDIT for GOOD economic times... and always manage to SHRUG OFF BLAME for economic catastrophe,  even after GETTING EVERYTHING THEY WANT in the years leading up to economic crisis!   

  FORMER HARVARD DEAN (and current Harvard Professor)  Harry R. Lewis asks the questions that ANY competent economic analyst CAN NOT AVOID asking:   "WHO is running America's economy, and WHY are they BEING REWARDED for TRASHING that American economy?"!
 "Larry Summers, Robert Rubin: Will The Harvard Shadow Elite Bankrupt The University And The Country?"
 http://www.huffingtonpost.com/harry-r-lewis/larry-summers-robert-rubi_b_419224.html  

  Professor  Lewis' comments are echoed across America in other economic analysis,  including this  excellent ExiledOnline.com op-ed.... from NOVEMBER 2008, PREDICTING that President Obama's  selection of  LAWRENCE SUMMERS (one of the Ben Bernanke, Robert Rubin, Goldman-Sachs + Fed Reserve crew) would be DISASTROUS for the US economy.... 
Larry Summers: A Suicidal Choice
By Mark Ames, __November 11, 2008__
  http://exiledonline.com/larry-summers-a-suicidal-choice/  

 Ames' above predictions have been born out in more recent commentaries:
  "The Summers Conumdrum"
http://www.thenation.com/doc/20081124/ames  
and...   http://exiledonline.com/are-obama-and-geithner-the-twins-from-hell/


  In his more recent commenataries, Mr. Ames could practically gloat about his earlier  _predictions_ being proven correct,  but instead, like any competent and concerned America, the  pleasure of being proved correct, is blown away by the realization that the Goldman-Sachs +  Fed Reserve + JP Morgan-Chase   Economic Hit Men are destroying America's neighborhoods, communities, national economy, and  America's once boastful standard of living....

  Just as RAHM EMANUEL has treacherously taken presidential candidate Barack Obama's 2008 campaign vow of "Health Care Reform" and turned it into another sordid example of "taxpayer extorted 'BAILOUT' BILLIONS  for Wall Street Financiers," in this case the predatory and parasitic huge insurance companies,  for example,  Mr. Emanuel and Mr. Obama PRETENDING NOT TO NOTICE  Aetna 'health' insurance company DUMPING 650,000 "health" insurance policy holders this past December 2009... just as Mr. Obama was PRETENDING that his "health care reform" bill would  "reform" such predatory abuses!

  Yesterday's  DISGRACEFUL cowardly,  corrupt Senate vote to RE-CONFIRM one of the RINGMASTERS of America's ECONOMIC DESTRUCTION,  signals that  the economy could remain in the doldrums for ANOTHER TEN YEARS,  at least according to the  analysis of  London based "Renegade Economist" Fred Harrison, (RenegadeEconomist.com) who predicted the housing bubble and bust,  in his comments in the second half of the Max Keiser video, above.

Anyone Actually reading DemNationUSA? Today's report on plans for "HIGH SPEED RAIL CORRIDOR" echoes our earlier commentary...

Finally, some GOOD NEWS out of the Neo-Con  & Golddamn Sachs  infested Obama White House?
   Today's HuffingtonPost.com reports:
   "High-Speed Rail Plan: Obama To Make Announcement After State Of The Union Speech"
   The story is not "instant sunshine breaking through storm-clouds of economic disaster" (for millions of American families),  and it is only $8 billion of intended funding,   but at least it is something of a recognition that GIVING BILLIONS to BANKERS is NOT  improving the economy. 

The   notion that some banks are "TOO BIG TO FAIL"  is just  a stunning example  how wholly the CONCEIT and ARROGANCE and LIES of the TBTF (too big to fail) bankers has saturated American press, media, academic and government debate and discussion over the past years,  because FOR THE SAME __TRILLIONS $$__ that the Bush and Obama White Houses (and.... "DEMOCRATIC" Pelosi Congress!)  have HANDED to the "TBTF" Bankers, Obama and the Congress could instead  have spent money "FOR STUFF" - could have PURCHASED projects with those billions and trillions, and had FULL EMPLOYMENT in one year flat... 
 ($20+ TRILLION taxpayer dollars that have gone to the bankers is a lot of money - nearly 2x the ENTIRE ANNUAL US GDP,  which by definition,  GDP = "product produced in a year for a given country" means very close to full employment when GDP for that country  actually starts producing more "stuff")
 ...just as by the end of 1942 American factories  were hiring thousands of workers, and  were producing material and supplies to make good on  wartime losses;  hiring  and producing in numbers that finally ended  Great Depression unemployment, just a year after  so many Americans  woke to discover the US Pacific fleet lay in smoking ruins in the mud of Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941 while America was still  mired in the Depression.

Back on January 2nd, we wrote:
 < Despite spending BILLIONS upon TRILLIONS of our taxpayer dollars to prop up the failed and fraudulent bankers & Wall Street over the past 2 years (and billions more via back-door "fed liquidity injections" in years previous to 2007) we can report that you have NOT created ONE SINGLE NET JOB over ten years, even though Americans are crying out, _not_ for more bankster bonus billionaires, but for MORE HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONALS who ACTUALLY PROVIDE HEALTH CARE, or for GOVERNMENT SUBSIDIZED SOLAR PANELS for EVERY home in the Sun-belt, or for a HIGH SPEED RAIL linking Richmond to DC, NY, and Boston (and reducing hazardously crowded auto and air traffic on that corridor), or for DOZENS of other programs that WOULD ACTUALLY PRODUCE STUFF and CREATE JOBS!  >


  Today's report is only a sketch of an outline, but like any effective military campaign, business strategy, or government plan THE DEVIL IS IN THE DETAILS,   namely  the "BANG for YOUR BUCK" factor  and "WHO is making the most money off these deals?"
    IF  President Obama allows the majority of such spending to go to "CONSULTING FIRMS" and WEALTHY PROPERTY OWNERS, it will be ANOTHER BOONDOGGLE as the Obama-Bushie "Bailouts" have been.  (And, more specifically, as Florida's insanely corrupt Republican governors and legislators have turned the $8.7 BILLION dollar  _federal_ (national) taxpayer  funded Everglades Restoration program into a Republican SLUSH FUND, and Fanjul family (and other wealthy property owners) pork fest.)
  And, with so many other nations now having competent, reliable High Speed Trains in service, there would of course be NO EXCUSE for such a boondoggle.   In good old MILITARY CONTRACTING style, the President should concentrate on building the first stretch of High Speed Rail WHERE EVERYONE CAN SEE IT - between Washington DC and New York - but SPREAD SUPPLY and BUILDING  contracts OVER  RECESSION-PLAGUED STATES. 
  < WASHINGTON — A day after delivering a State of the Union address aimed at showing recession-weary Americans he understands their struggles, President Barack Obama intends to award $8 billion in stimulus funds to develop high-speed rail corridors and sell the program as a jobs creator.
Obama and Vice President Joe Biden plan to announce grants for 13 major corridors during a town hall meeting in Tampa, Fla., Thursday, the president's first public appearance following his speech to the nation. It's an attempt by the White House to show that getting Americans back to work is the president's top priority and that he has a plan for how to do it. >

Obama now officially taking up where BUSH and CHENEY Left off: A RIGHT-WING PRESIDENT SLASHING SOCIAL PROGRAMS, while GIVING TRILLIONS to the wealthy and connected bankers....


(above, today's unnerving HuffingtonPost headline & photo)

The proof that President Obama now has RIGHT WING DICTATORIAL TENDENCIES is simplicity itself....      Besides REFUSING to cooperate with (much less energetically lead)  public and government efforts to PROVIDE  oversight and TRANSPARENCY into the  "bailouts"  of Wall Street (and of AIG and Goldman Sachs in particular),  and besides supporting  President Bush's Fed Reserve Bank  Chairman nominee  - (Ben Bernanke, the man who presided over the destruction of 14 TRILLION dollars of American household wealth over the past 3 or 4 years) -
 - President Obama is now engaging in THE SIGNATURE policies and agenda of all Right-Wing autocrats:  He continues handing TRILLIONS of taxpayer dollars to the wealthy, via SOCIALIZED, tax-payer extorted "bailouts," tax-cuts, and favors to Wall Street, while SLASHING  Social programs for the American people who voted him in to office hoping for "Change."  

  Mr. Obama IS NOT EVEN TRYING to win PUBLIC SUPPORT for his ATROCIOUS  'health care' "reform" bill,  BECAUSE like any Right-Wing Republican (say, Right-Wing Neo-Con Republican Congressman Eric Cantor of northern Virginia),  Obama understands that THERE IS NOTHING for the public TO LIKE in his  Max Baucus/Joe Lieberman/insurance-industry-lobbyist written "reform," mandates & extortion of a  bill.
  Instead, in Bush-Cheney and Golddamn-Sachs fashion,  Obama and his  Economic Hit-Man enforcer of a White House Chief of Staff, Rahm Emanuel, are running around smashing to oblivion any Progressive Democrats who dare stand up to their  "health" INSURANCE INDUSTRY "BAILOUT" of a bill.  
    We'll try to (literally) fill in the links later tonight...  but January 26th  of 2010 marks the week that President Obama dropped the veil of PRETENDING to OFFER ANYTHING to Democratic voters, besides more  blood, sweat, tears, low wages, rising unemployment, pink slips, outsourcing of US jobs,   eviction notices, and more garbage, over-priced "health" insurance,   but more TRILLIONS of dollars of taxpayer extorted, SOCIALIZED "bailouts"  for FAT-CAT bankers....
  one of the club... of right-wing, Joe Lieberman & Golddamn-Sachs tutored "more wars, police state powers, slashed social safety nets, and bailouts for billionaires"  autocrats.

below, candidate Obama REJECTS (at 51 seconds)  blanket "spending freezes" as an "unfair burden sharing, that's using a HATCHET to cut the federal budget, I want to use a scalpel.."

Financial Terrorist Tim Giethner tells Senate: "Don't reconfirm my old boss, and Financial Terrorist CAPO Ben Bernanke, and our friends at Golddamn-Sachs, JP Morgan, & on Wall Street will TORCH the markets"....

  < Geithner Warns That Markets Could Dive If Bernanke Is Not Reconfirmed >

WELL, THERE's the crux of the matter, isn't it?

   President Obama has been CONNED into believing that "THE MARKETS" - the Wall Street "pumped and dumped," "SHORT SQUEEZED," "fomented,"   inflated & deflated, pumped, primed, and bubbled Wall Street stock "MARKET PRICES" ARE THE ALPHA and OMEGA of the American economy, of THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE.
Even though the markets are now ENTIRELY SOCIALIZED, kept afloat ONLY by BILLIONS upon TRILLIONS of taxpayer extorted dollars...  TWENTY+ TRILLION taxpayer extorted "Bailouts" dollars, according to "T.A.R.P." oversight Inspector General Neil Barofsky... 
 so now so-called "Democt" President Obama's Treasury Secretary,  Tim Geithner,  is running around playing Goldman-Sachs', Wall Street, and J.P. Morgan (Chase)'s FINANCIAL TERRORIST  arm-twisting enforcer  (our paraphrase) :

"PAY UP" [ALLOW the INCOMPETENT and CORRUPT Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke to CONTINUE TO SHOVEL BILLIONS of taxpayer dollars OUT THE BACK DOOR of the Fed Reserve bank to PUMP UP Wall Street FAKE price levels] "OR WE WILL BURN DOWN the last vestiges of the  American economy"
(WRECK the ENTIRE American economy WORSE than it has already been wrecked.)

WOO-HOO!! READ BETWEEN THE LINES, we FINALLY have some TRUTH IN REPORTING coming  out of the INSANELY CORRUPT "Democrats or Rethuglicans, it doesn't really matter" Big Bankers infested Washington DC, US government, and US Treasury.

IF Mr. Geithner DID HIS JOB, and ___"CLAWED BACK"___ the TWENTY+ TRILLION dollars that HE and his former boss, Ben Bernanke,  HAVE GIVEN AWAY to Wall Street over the past 4 or 5 years,  we Americans could RUN THE U.S. GOVERNMENT for almost TWO FULL YEARS, AND have FULL EMPLOYMENT, and  SINGLE PAYER health-care FOR ALL, to boot!

Hillary Clinton MATCHES Barack Obama in the "FINANCIAL TERRORIST" Department: America's "Democrats" are as "Democratic" As Saudi Dictators....

For those  in the "Democratic" Party who believe that HILLARY CLINTON would be a little less INSUFERABLE,  a little LESS DICTATORIAL,  a little  LESS ARROGANT, CORRUPT, and beholden to the AIPAC/Likudnik WAR LOBBY, and Goddamn-Sachs/J.P.Morgan/NY/Wall St.  FINANCIAL TERRORISTS, than her 2008 Democratic presidential rival, Barack Obama, now is,  this stunning editorial news article, by Hatian earthquake survivor  Jesse Hagopian in today's CommonDreams.org,  should put all that  "Clinton would be any better than Obama" fantasy talk to rest.

    On a day when Haiti REALLY NEEDED DISASTER SUPPLIES to be flown in, America's  insufferable Secretary of State REALLY DID   CLOSE DOWN Haiti's airport for THREE VITAL HOURS  as she flew in, and arranged a "DISASTER CAPITALISM," 
   "Aren't we Americans helpful?PHOTO-OP.
   And as if that weren't bad enough,   < Defenders of Clinton will say that her disimpassioned, monotone, photo-op speech was needed in Haiti to draw attention to the plight of the Haitians. But no one north of hell can defend her next move: according to airport personnel that I spoke to during my recent evacuation from Haiti, she paralyzed the airport later that same day to have a new outfit flown in from the Dominican Republic.  >

   Now there is no way that we can confirm or deny  if this report in today's  CommonDreams.com is true, at least as we go to   post this story on-line to make the start of the last work-week of  the first month of the new year,  January 2010.

BUT OF COURSE IT IS TRUE.  Hillary Clinton's  husband, former President BILL CLINTON  will do his best to  LEGITIMIZE  ANY  DICTATORSHIP anywhere  IN THE WORLD, for a lousy  million dollars ($3 million, tops) in "speaking fees."    Mr. Clinton is as "democratic" as the House of Saud or other Arab princes,   one such "prince" was recently found not guilty, in a UAE court, of TORTURE - even after the court was shown video, videotaped by the prince, of  the prince and his men torturing a business partner alleged to have cheated the prince.  
And like her husband "paling around" with George W. Bush and George H.W. Bush (the two Republican Presidents who BOTH ORCHESTRATED US supported COUPS in Haiti),  Hillary Clinton can't GIVE HER STAMP OF APPROVAL to America's PUPPET DICTATOR REGIMES, first in Haiti, and, just recently under her watch as Secretary of State, the new coup in HONDURAS, too quickly.

  We don't have time to drag up all the links of AMERICA'S MURDEROUS COOPERATION with DICTATOR REGIMES of the world with the Clinton's stamp of approval, but this one will do:  former President Clinton received a  "$31 million windfall" to his "CHARITABLE FOUNDATION" for   acting as a broker or facilitator between Canadian mining tycoon Frank Giustra and Kazakstan's brutal,  Saddam Hussein-esque dictator:
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/01/31/us/politics/31donor.html
 <    Upon landing [in Kazakhstan] the two men [former President Clinton and mining tycoon Frank Giustra] were wisked off to share a sumptuous midnight banquet with Kazakhstan’s president, Nursultan A. Nazarbayev, whose 19-year stranglehold on the country has all but quashed political dissent...
  Mr. Nazarbayev walked away from the table with a propaganda coup, after Mr. Clinton expressed enthusiastic support for the Kazakh leader’s bid to head an international organization that monitors elections and supports democracy. Mr. Clinton’s public declaration undercut both American foreign policy and sharp criticism of Kazakhstan’s poor human rights record by, among others, Mr. Clinton’s wife, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York.  (cont'd)  
  The Clintons now have no more regard for human rights,  much less democracy,   than George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, or  Arab royals and FORMER STALINIST Central Asian dictators.  And HILLARY SUPPORTERS (and Obama supporters) are DELUSIONAL  if they think that either Hillary, or Bill, or Obama, has any more regard for AMERICAN families harmed by the Wall Street/Goddamn-Sachs FINANCIAL TERRORISM in America (much less Haiti or Honduras), than  our  HILLARY APPROVED  puppet DICTATORS in Haiti and Honduras have for their fellow nationals.

Defenders of Clinton will say that her disimpassioned, monotone, photo-op speech was needed in Haiti to draw attention to the plight of the Haitians. But no one north of hell can defend her next move: according to airport personnel that I spoke to during my recent evacuation from Haiti, she paralyzed the airport later that same day to have a new outfit flown in from the Dominican Republic. I am having a hard time readjusting to life back home after having survived the earthquake and witnessing so much death, so even typing those words is making my heart pound uncontrollably.

I guess for America's RULERS  a new pantsuit is more valuable than the lives of poor, Black Haitians. 
Unfortunately, Clinton's model of DIVERTING and DELAYING CRITICAL AID to the Haitian people, WHILE EMPHASIZING  SECURITY  ["security"], has become standard operating procedure.... (cont'd)  
  updates on Hillary Clinton's tenure as Secretary of State:
 #1.  Secretary Clinton addresses (her own words) shortcomings noted by other aid nations in America's command of  "coordination, oversight, and accountability to ensure that aid and investments are used effectively" for Haiti disaster relief...

  THIS IS THE FIRST tip-of-the-iceberg story  of the new American "war on terror" era empire running into the desire of America's  de facto Neo-Con dictator wannabees  wanting to DECLARE ANY AND ALL OPPONENTS to friendly regimes as "TERRORISTS,"   where the alleged "terrorists" aren't Arab, Muslim, Blacks, South/Central American, or Asian,  but are a major white European cultural group with strong sympathies and popularity in America  (i.e. the Catholic Irish resistance to British  rule of Northern Ireland.)  Of course American  "law" enforcement and political leaders have long held the most violent of Irish Republican nationalists to be "terrorists,"  but that was before the current era of U.S.  war-on-terra   "Constitutional rights null and void when we declare you a terrorist" Neo-Con Gestapo torture gulag rules. .

Obama a "FINANCIAL TERRORIST" who will not rest until he has DESTROYED the Democratic Party majorities in Congress....

 The RAHM EMANUEL  orchestrated "MASSACRE of Democratic Candidates in 2010" JUST PICKED UP STEAM,   thanks to President Barack Obama's increasingly Bushian "bubble boy" DELUSIONS of competence and self-righteousness.
 ExiledOnLine captures Obama's bullheaded arrogance and failure to understand American voters' rejection of Obama's "of, by, and for Wall Street" agenda:  
"So far, Obama seems to have learned exactly the wrong lesson—he told ABC News that the election defeat came not from substance, but from bad style:  (below Obama direct quote from ABC news story)
“If there’s one thing that I regret this year is that we were so busy just getting stuff done and dealing with the immediate crises that were in front of us that I think we lost some of that sense of speaking directly to the American people about what their core values are and why we have to make sure those institutions are matching up with those values.
Today's   news headlines unfortunately bear out Exiled's assessment:
  What this means is RAHM EMANUEL  is TAKING CONTROL over those parts of the (formerly) "Democratic" Party that he hasn't already usurped power in,  thanks to Nancy Pelosi making Emanuel DCCC Chairman in 2006, and Barack Obama making Emanuel Chief of Staff of the White House in January 2009. 
 And, "Conventional Wisdom" quite to the contrary,  Emanuel's record of running elections for Democrats IS DISASTROUS:   Emanuels specialty is SELECTING REPUBLICAN candidates to run in DEMOCRATIC Primaries, and when Democratic primary voters REJECT Emanuel's  dictatorial "tax cuts for rich & expanding US wars" candidates,  Emanuel DENIES FUNDING to those genuinely Democratic, outside of Washington, "liberal"  Congressional candidates who actually reflect voters'  "anti-war, anti-tax-cuts and bailouts for wealthy" agenda. 
  DownWithTyranny.com   has the full story, perhaps the SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT ARTICLE WRITTEN in America these past half-dozen years, from a few days after election night, November 2006:
 Note how, if Rahm Emanuel had SUCCEEDED in SABOTAGING the Democrat's 2006 opportunity to TAKE BACK THE HOUSE (and Senate) majorities,  that 2006 midterm election WOULD HAVE EMPOWERED the Bush-Cheney administration...  and the Cheney-Wolfowitz-Rumsfeld WAR MACHINE would almost certainly have ATTACKED and/or INVADED IRAN,   as this video captures AIPAC voters (Rahm Emanuel's CAREER POLITICAL CORE of support)  LOUDLY CHEERING Vice President Cheney's bombastic "Bomb Iran Now!" speech at the AIPAC annual conference, March 2007...  American voters' REJECTION of the Bush-Cheney-Wolfowitz-EMANUEL  EXPANDING WARS agenda notwithstanding!!
  
 This is the crux of the American nightmare of DEPRESSION level UNEMPLOYMENT in some cities (Detroit, parts of California), while spending TRILLIONS of dollars for both overseas wars of conquest and occupation, AND  TRILLIONS MORE in HANDOUTS "bailouts for bankers" - to Wall Street:   Are Rahm Emanuel and the Neo-Con, Goldman-Sachs infested Democrats MERELY INCOMPETENT at  _representing_ the concerns and winning the votes of millions of American families....  or ARE the Emanuel/Goldamn-Sachs/Summers Neo-Cons DELIBERATELY TRYING TO SABOTAGE Democrats in election 2010 - AS Emanuel's fellow "Israel first" Neo-Con, JOE LEIBERMAN, TRIED TO SABOTAGE the Democrats in 2006 and 2008, Lieberman relentlessly campaigning with REPUBLICAN pro-war candidates?!!

This is the NIGHTMARE that Democratic voters, and American citizens HOPING for "CHANGE!"  from the Bush-Cheney era's "of, by, and for Big Business" era, are being CRUSHED by:  under Rahm Emanuel and Lawrence Summers,  President Obama's "Of, by, and for BIG FINANCE, Goldman Sachs & JP Morgan-Chase, EXCLUSIVELY!" agenda, is starting to make Bush and Cheney's corruption look positively benevolent by comparison, a stunning, _insane_ conclusion that is sadly born by the numbers:  the VAST MAJORITY of the "Bailouts for Big Bankers" now well over TWENTY TRILLION DOLLARS to the "TBTF" bankers - have come under the reign of King Obama, the Imperial Majesty who sees NO NEED to inform the peasants and serfs of just how much money their government is giving away to connected lords and barons, "campaign donating bankers."
 
 Here's the backstory to President Obama's Bushian delusions, promising "CHANGE!" to voters in 2008, and then giving billions upon trillions of taxpayer obligated dollars to bankers in 2009, and refusing to accept "No!" for an answer when Mass. voters stunningly REJECTED the White House's  hand selected Senate candidate
 ------------------------------------------------------------

IN the previous iteration of this blog, "DemocraticNationUSA," we called our blog "COWARDLY DEMOCRATS," (a blog we STOPPED publishing in January 2007, when Democratic Majorities took over the House and Senate)... with the anticipation that "Democratic" Party leadership would no longer use  the FEAR of roiling a "they're unpatriotic and  SOFT-on-Terror!" BACKLASH as an __EXCUSE to ROLL OVER__  for the Bush-Cheney Republicans.
   Even so,  we were forced to add two, new updated post to  "CowardlyDemocrats" almost 2 years later,  in November of 2008, when stories leaked out about how President Bush's Treasury Secretary - AND FORMER GOLDMAN SACHS CHAIRMAN  Hank Paulson - had  THREATENED Congress that "THERE WOULD BE  a MARTIAL LAW  response to RIOTS IN THE STREET"  if the Congress did not pass Paulson's insane,  three-page BLANK CHECK  $700 billion  Wall Street bankers' "BAILOUT" bill - the three pages that Paulson had sketched out being the sum total of ALL regulations overseeing the bailouts,  which is to say, NO oversight rules or regulations as Bush's Treasury Secretary, Hank Paulson, first handed the "bailouts" request to "Democrat" Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, and "Democrat" Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, back in September of 2008. 
   Surprisingly FULFILLING its CONSTITUTIONAL MANDATE to be THE ULTIMATE OVERSIGHT of all federal government appropriations and spending, the US Congress BALKED at Paulson's bailout bill,  individual Representatives from BOTH parties categorically REJECTING  their Party Leaders'  demands - whether Republican Party or "Democratic" Party -  to vote for the bill... and the FIRST  Bush-Hank Paulson-PELOSI  $700 BILLION dollar,  "no strings attached" "bailout" bill WENT DOWN IN FLAMING DEFEAT, to the surprise of most, and utter consternation of the soulless, predatory NY & DC "establishment," whose   members  ("Heathers")  of course park their own ill-gotten millions (such millionaire D.C.  lying talking heads as Geore Will, Chris Mathews, Tim Russert, George Stephanopolous,  Bill "I'll legitimize a DICTATOR REGIME for a few million dollar 'speaking fee'" Clinton, etc. etc. etc.)  in stocks and banks  on Wall Street as well.
 Needless to say,  Goddamn-Sachs and the other Big Wall Street bankers ("TBTF" = "To Big To Fail" banks)  did not take "NO" for an answer at THEIR OWN LOOMING BANKRUPTCY and DEMISE,  so, with their financial lives at stake - with billions upon trillions of losses and bankruptcies and criminal fraud cases hanging in the balance - the Bankers, hedge funds, their lobbyists, and other corporations on Wall Street (including the New York Times and Washington Post, CNN/Time/Warner,  all three RADICAL RIGHT WING "news" organizations MASQUERADING as "liberal" news organizations)  went on a "beg borrow, steal, incite, and EXTORT" jihad to EXTORT from Congress the bailouts request  that had GONE DOWN to CRUSHING DEFEAT the first time around. 

    This is where, ONCE AGAIN, the "Democratic" Party "leadership"  CAVED IN to the demands of Wall Street, Big Finance, and Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan-Chase, and Citi-bank  executives in particular,  the "Democrat" Party having become DEPENDENT, over the years, on Wall Street donations to counter-balance the flood of other corporate money flowing to the Republican Party.
  Hank aulson's  GoddamnSachs WET DREAM of a "Bailouts" bill was passed - not only did THE PELOSI Congress authorize  $700 BILLION dollars for HANK PAULSON to DISTRIBUTE AS HE WISHED - with very little, next to NO oversight -  but THE SAME WEEK,  Federal Reserve Bank Chairman BEN BERNANKE  dished out ANOTHER  $630 Billion in "LIQUIDITY INJECTIONS" cash... that WOUND UP in the SAME  TBTF banks' vaults, that were receiving  Paulson's  up-front $700 billion bailouts! 
   The Congress PRETENDED NOT TO NOTICE  that the TBTF banks, led by the unholy GoddamnSachs/Citi/JPMorgan-Chase troika, were actually almost DOUBLING the "BAILOUTS" amount they had been authorized... from $700 billion to $13,300-billion in just one week, alone, (yes, that $1.3 TRILLION dollars)   with MUCH MORE TO COME just as quickly and Bernanke... and Bernanke's flunky,  TIM GEITHNER, President  at the New York  Fed... could find more "back door" means to pour huge chunks of American taxpayer obligated cash  into the vaults of those TBTF bankers that had been Geithner's and Bernanke's sponsors and patrons for their entire careers! 
  You effectively had  Congress authorizing (under threats of extortion and martial law by a former Goldman Sachs chairman)  "FRONT DOOR" bailouts, and PRETENDING NOT TO NOTICE the Fed Reserve "liquidity injection" BACK DOOR BAILOUTS - even with the debate of the two bailout bills, (and rejection of first)  Congress was STILL,  SHIRKING  its Constitutional obligation to oversee the nations finances, taxes, and revenue distribution!
  ("Revenue distribution" i.e. government spending, or, in case of "bailouts" to bankers, the US government GIVING MONEY AWAY, wholesale, by literally the ton.)  

  All the above is merely prelude to today's post:  President Barack Obama, and the Emanuel/GoldmanSachs infested White House,  REFUSE to TAKE "NO" for an answer from American voters, and, not taking the loss of  the Massachusetts senate seat formerly held by Ted Kennedy over to Republicans as a wake-up call,  the Obama/Emanuel  White House is going to CONTINUE to PLOW FORWARD with its Rahm Emanuel overseen "OF, BY, and FOR BANKERS,  CRUMBS for American families'" agenda -    today's Huffington Post front-page headline reads:
 (Plouffe is a current Obama administration senior advisor, who, among others, has been a participant in the Obama/Emanuel Health Care 'Reform' SABOTAGE  FOLLY of 2008; in 2008 Plouffe was manager over  Obama's presidential campaign.)
  In short,  "Democratic" President Barack Obama CARES NO MORE for voter and American citizen opinion, than President George W. Bush did before him. 

  In his insane arrogance  and Bushian self-righteousness,  Mr. Obama  has forced TRILLIONS of dollars of  bailouts to TBTF bankers through, despite public resistance;  he REFUSES to provide FINANICIAL OVERSIGHT, much less PROSECUTE FRAUD, from both the Goldman-Sachs "DOUBLE DIPPING" from AIG bailouts, much less for the BLATANTLY FRAUDULENT CONDITIONS (which Current Goldman Sachs Chairman, Lloyd Blankfein, even ADMITTED TO, briefly, in Congressional testimony earlier this month!)  which led to this economic crisis,  the most blatant of which are right there in the AIG written Goldman Sachs "Credit Default Swap" CDO's and other "TOXIC DERIVATIVES" "securities" which were nothing but Casino gambling bets.
   Indeed, Goldman Sachs was _selling_ "securities" to its customers MARKED as "Grade-AAA," while  GS execs were SIMULTANEOUSLY purchasing CDO (Credit Default Obligations)  "default"  Derivatives, from AIG,   that would PAY OFF  _IF_  those "Grade A"  "securities" Goldman was selling to its customers failed...
    Goldman Sachs STOOD to PROFIT if they  SABOTAGED the very securities they were  selling unwary customers, and 2, 3 or 4 years later, "Democrat" President BARACK OBAMA  PRETENDS NOT TO NOTICE!!!!
 
  President Obama is now running a PROTECTION RACKET for Wall Street in general, and Goldman Sachs in particular, and he is either so corrupt, or so insanely arrogant, that he cares not if he DESTROYS the Democratic majorities in Congress,  he will CONTINUE to INFLICT the DESPISED  Rahm Emanuel/Goddamn-Sachs agenda on Democratic voters, come Hell or High Water;  come the  looming "MASSACRE of DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES" in 2010, and HIS OWN POTENTIAL Ken Starr-esque IMPEACHMENT, should the Republicans gain the House majority in 2011!

More on the US MACHINE-GUN ARMED OCCUPATION of Haiti... OBAMA gives his STAMP OF APPROVAL to Bush's 2004 CIA engineered DICTATOR COUP in Haiti...

"The American troops are 'providing security' FOR A HOSPITAL that DIDN'T HAVE ANY [security] problems at all." (CNN (American) narrator!)
    As if   THAT  wasn't bad enough, IT ONLY TOOK  America's Finest A WEEK to arrive  at Haiti's major hospital... THAT DIDN'T EVEN NEED "security"!
  HECK uva' Job, Obama-Bushie! 

As we stated in our previous  post, THIS - Haiti  5 full years after the George W. Bush/CIA   INSTIGATED COUP in that country has now left the country LEADERLESS - and now  in the midst of American-style orgy of "DISASTER CAPITALISM" (machine-gun occupation) after the January 2010 earthquake, where the US MILITARY is DOING NOTHING MUCH, but MAKING A SHOW OF GUNS...!

    ...as  the GODDAMN-SACHS COUP of America,  is now blatantly spreading its tentacles without apology across the Carribean (Haiti),  Central America (Honduras), Iceland (economic terrorism), Georgia (US puppet nationalist Christian-fascist dictatorship), Afghanistan (slow-burn genocide), Iraq... and of course the US TREASURY and American taxpayers EXTORTED out of  TRILLIONS of dollars to make good the FRAUDULENT BETS of the very bankers who have spent the past 5 decades trumpeting "MORAL HAZARD," "let 'em fail," "socialism harms productivity" and other talking points of predatory,  genocidal  capitalism.

Below,  "Democratic" Presidents Bill Clinton and  Barack Obama... PROVIDE THEIR STAMP OF APPROVAL for the George W. Bush/US-CIA instigated COUP against Haiti in 2004, that has left Haiti LEADERLESS in 2010...        










Over at Global Policy.org,  Haiti aid activist Ben Terrall CONNECTS the mechanics of US, CIA & Wall Street FINANCED murderous, DICTATORIAL COUPS in vulnerable "3rd world" nations,  with the INTELLECTUAL DECEIT and TREACHERY of the "neo-liberals"  who now DOMINATE the US  "major media" (corporate TV &, newspapers, &  press):   Speaking of "Neo-Liberal apologists," here's a TEXTBOOK "neo-Liberal" (aka "Neo-Conservative" or "Neo-Con" for short)**   NEW YORK TIMES  apologia piece,  for President Barack Obama NOT KNOWING WHAT TO DO for Haiti, besides soliciting  PRIVATE charity fundraising, and SENDING U.S. MACHINE-GUN ARMED HELICOPTERS, with LITTLE to NO disaster relief supplies... a full WEEK after the devastating earthquake! 
"In a June 2005 Jamaica Observer column about the significance of the Haitian revolution [1791], John Maxwell wrote... [that]  the now rampant NEO-FACIST APOLOGISTS  for so-called NEO-LIBERALISM are in [a]  direct line of moral descent from those who petitioned Pope Nicholas V in 1454 TO SANCTION the SLAVE TRADE  between Portugal and Africa."  

  Note that in Mark Landler and Helene Cooper's WHORIFIC "reporting" - besides mention of $100 million Obama has pledged to Haiti (to end up in the BANK VAULTS of Haiti's most Wall Street connected bankers?!)     THERE IS NO MENTION... NOT ONE!  of any ACTUAL DISASTER RELIEF in this story... it is ENTIRELY FOCUSED on  "media message"!     
  It's as if the Hatian people don't matter... a story that  nominally APPEARS to be about American disaster relief for Haiti, is actually a "horse race" story about AMERICAN POLITICS and media message,  the people of Haiti COULD DROWN as far as the editors & writers of the  Neo-Con parasitic New York Times are concerned! 
  HECKUVA JOB THERE, NEW YORK TIMES -  "neo-liberal" DISASTER PARASITE CAPITALISM,  and   "the horse-race is more important than the issues" "journalism"  par excellence!  
 
  Obama White House Eager to Project Image of Competence in Relief Efforts  
by Mark Landler & Helene Cooper, New York Times
January 21, 2010


<  The military and the administration have set up a busy communication operation with 25 people at the American embassy and in cinder-block  warehouse at the airport in Port-au-Prince, Haiti's capital....
 Still, the hurdles to getting the story out [of the American president's alleged "COMPETENCE" at delivering relief to Haiti]  are high.  > 
** note: (yes, the soulless, shameless advocates for radical Right-Wing predatory, slave wages economic "disaster capitalism" use BOTH the terms "neo-LIBERAL, AND "neo-Conservative" to define their PREDATORY, dictatorship, kleptocracy larceny "capitalism" -
 -  as if they had a monopoly on BOTH "liberalism" AND "conservativism"!  

CONCENTRATION CAMP HAITI??! Hell, Under Rahm Emanuel and the Golddamn-Sachs financed COUP in America, AMERICA is shaping up to be the next Gaza/West Bank CONCENTRATION CAMP!

Do we here at DemNationUSA really have to spell it out?

As the book, "The War Nerd" illustrates (with example after example after example), the British, and their British empire, were EVERY BIT as GENOCIDAL as some of history's most feared and despised ancient conquerors
(Mongols, Romans, Turks, Assyrians, etc.) 
  or  as other, more modern  European colonial conquerors
(think "Spanish Inquisition conquest and bloody mass  purges  of much of Europe" and the  Spanish Conquistador conquest of the New World; or the King Leopold II's  "Belgian Free State" Congo, which colonial "free state" wiped out between 30% and 50% of the region's native population),
...nonetheless the  British and their armies of bureaucratic colonial administration officials mastered the PR narrative that (to steal a phrase) "they came in peace" -
   -  That  in exchange for complete and total subordination to British military occupation  dictatorship rule, countries like Ceylon (Sri Lanka), Burma, India, Egypt, and other British occupied terrorities could enjoy the benefits of railroads, bridges, canals,  and the benefits of  Britain's army of imported low-wage India (slave) labor,  etc.

 This above paradigm PERFECTLY explains America's  "MAJOR MEDIA" treatment of  the HAITI CRISIS, where merely by showing a few moments of video of American military troops handing  bottles of water to earthquake devastated Haitians on US national network TV,  the US press & media    create AN IMAGE  of a BENEVOLENT America. 
  NOTHING could be further from the truth. 

 Under the "leadership" of America's FINANCIAL TERRORISTS - at Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan-Chase, Citi-bank,   and the other Rothschilds/Likudnik dominated Wall Street banks that now OWN the United States of America -  HAITI is now effectively a US RUN  CONCENTRATION CAMP! 
 (Hatians now crowding into Africa war-refugee style camps.) 

We thought we were among the first to notice this trend -  what with so-called "Democratic" ex- President   BILL CLINTON   (and, effectively,  current "Democratic" President Barack Obama)      putting an _official_ "Democratic" Party  SMILEY FACE  stamp-of-approval on   the George W. Bush orchestrated, US imposed DICTORSHIP COUP in Haiti  of 2004...  
http://clintonbushhaitifund.org/ 

 ...and  what with the announcement that the UNITED STATES now has a MILITARY, naval  EMBARGO SURROUNDING HAITI, to KEEP Haitians from staging another massive, "Mariel style boat-lift  EXODUS" to America -  but good old Max Keiser one-upped us,  mentioning that the US DICTATORSHIP OCCUPATION of Haiti - 30,000 US troops there now, troops who have little to ZERO interest (much less training and supplies)  in rebuilding Haiti's wrecked economy and democracy -  could well be merely a prelude, or   STAGING,  for a pending US OCCUPATION OF CUBA
(As Kuwait was the STAGING area for the US INVASION of IRAQ in 2003.) 

  Elsewhere  some good reporters  have  pointed out JUST HOW LAGGARDLY,  and as an AFTERTHOUGHT,  US disaster relief to Haiti has been;   that little old ICELAND 
(beseiged by the "pump & dump," inflate and deflate" bubble of  billions of dollars of  massive CREDIT FRAUD inflicted on it by London bankers, at that)
 was able to... send a team of expert relief workers to Haiti WITHIN 36 HOURS! - while the great US military hospital ship arrived in Haiti...  ONLY yesterday, and similar US disaster team were also DAYS in making their ardous journey to Haiti?!!

U.S. Hospital Ship Arrives in Haiti - [A WEEK after Earthquake devastation!]

Venezuela? Bolivia?  Georgia?)  INTO  de facto CONCENTRATION CAMPS under eternal US/Israel Likudnik domination (both financially and  militarily),  complete with   "War on Terra" military, wartime, police state surveillance and  Gestapo torture gulags occupations,  and economic  sabotage ("outsourcing" entire US industries to Communist China)  and  political & economic disenfranchisement.

 Stacy's  Summary: Clearly, the US troops are not there to provide humanitarian support or aid. Who wants to bet that the number of troops will near 30,000 and that those troops will be used to occupy Cuba within the next 12 months?
