I was just asked these questions on a forum, as I attempted to debunk the list of current fake scandals that go nowhere, IRS Gate, AP Gate, Benghazi Gate, and why they go nowhere. I replied after a cup of strong coffee and this is my current outlook on the state of the world. I feel these fake scandals and the global uprisings are all tied together and part of a larger puzzle, and I feel people have it ALL wrong about Barack Obama. Who's with me?
"You keep talking about this global uprising.
Is this the occupy movement?
What will be the result of this global uprising?
What is it that you hope to see happen?
Is Obama the cause of this global uprising?
Please educate me."
Let the Café con Chicory education/opinion/deductions/gut feelings commence......
I will blurt some views out since I just had a cup of coffee... my thoughts exactly on where we stand as a citizen of the world.
Yes we are in the middle, or beginning of a global uprising. This may be a 5-10-20 year struggle to break free of an 80 year plan of global corporate rule, but it's just beginning.
All of these fake scandals you have in your post title here and the NSA "revelation" that has been known for decades are just a sign of the times. It's the corporate elite attempting to maintain control of their media and population by doing what they always do, create fake news, just more intense and telling. Sure Obama is a member of the corporate elite but he is working within the machine and utilizing the media and direct access to the people of the world to signal and create an atmosphere of change.
It's becoming more and more transparent, the Breitbarts, the Fox Newses, the Glenn Becks, the Michelle Bachmanns, the Mitt Romneys of the world are losing control. They are grasping at straws and demonstrating desparate behavior.
Every 10 year old and goat farmer now has a smartphone. Google is launching balloons with transmitters over the most remote regions of the world to give them internet access. The speeches the right insists are fluff talk by the Messiah (another Hitler reference) are in reality historically significant orations laced with meaningful sentences and historic references designed to set the stage, set our position in the modern era and allow an atmosphere of "it's okay, life is changing" around the world.
His Cairo speech set a stage for middle east uprisings, all simultaneously, about 14 at a time. Last week he spoke in Berlin to set the stage for nuclear disarmament. Tuesday he will speak about climate change, an issue the corporate rulers insist is a natural occurrence and will reverse, while 96% of scientists agree it is man made and the most crucial issue of our times. We live in a corporate-owned media illusion and just as it took Occupy Wall Street about 2 weeks to break free from this illusion and get attention on television by camping out, the global uprising will take years to come to fruition.
500,000 just protested in Brazil over what began as public transportation rate hikes. It became to be about being controlled by the corporate elite, waving signs that say "Brazil Woke Up!".
Hardly on our news though.
The stage was set for the Occupy movement by Obama saying "Make me do it" in a speech. He signaled to the people and media around the world to rise up and demand action from their politicians. This is the only way that change can take place, by bringing public attention to issues and affecting media portrayal and increasing majority public opinion. No one man has the power to do this. The system must be caressed and strategically battled long-term.
Obama's not the cause, he just set the stage and allowed an atmosphere to exist.
These fake scandals are going nowhere, there's nothing malicious or intentional or illegal there. They simply alter the facts of an existing mistake or story or something that started under Bush or before, repeat their made up talking points on TV every day, demand that the big bad government be held accountable, have a congressional hearing, get stern looks on their faces, grill people with questions, show it on TV, hope it has an affect, ask more questions, ask MORE questions, and nothing ever happens, because there's nothing there, and everybody knows it.
People are not as dumb or uninformed as they hoped or counted on as in the past. We have instant online access and fact verification now. The truth doesn't have versions.
The Occupy movement still exists in about 80 countries, every major city, all over the world. Still having general assemblies every evening at 7pm. Occupy Gezi. Occupy Sao Paulo. Tahrir Square, France, Houston, Iran, everywhere on Earth. It never went anywhere. It's all connected to Twitter, YouTube, Ustream, Livestream and able to be broadcast instantly from an alley in Egypt or Brazil.
It barely broke the news here and the Breitbarts came out of the woodwork to find and smear any possible negative aspect of it and remove it from the media and people's minds. It didn't work. TV is not reality and the whole world can see it more clearly now.
There is a gay revolution. A weed revolution. An information revolution. A corporate greed revolution. A civil rights revolution. A simple transportation fare hike protest turns into an anti-corporate uprising half a million strong, expected to rise to a million possibly in Sao Paulo.
It is the entire world joining in solidarity. OWS didn't start it, they adopted tactics used before in Egypt and elsewhere. You could watch livestreaming video of incredible events for the first time and compare them side by side to mainstream news coverage. The world witnessed that.
These "gates" are designed to halt this awareness and smear Obama and the entire subversive awakening culture. Period.
My hope and what will happen is that this is not going to stop. Global Occupy and general internet action and awareness will eat away at this 80 year plan like a cancer for as long as it takes. Laws will be changed, media will stop portraying a corporate illusion, corporations will be forced to become "cultural creatives" or die. They have been existing and feeding on our illusion for 80 years. They have been waiting for the people to catch on and revolt. They are scared and acting out, creating scandals, getting protests off the air, saying the people are dirty hippie rapists, 50,000 on the Brooklyn Bridge are dirty hippie rapists, network of discredit, etc.
900 people were arrested on that bridge that day, all of them were released with charges dropped. Illegal arrests. Not in the news. Cops around the world are covering their badge numbers with duct tape, entire news outlets create alternate universes for their viewers so for some even when Obama is out of office he will still be a traitor, it's just that the "liberal news media" helped him get away with it all. When actually that's what they did for Bush. It's called projection.
They're all in on it of course. Obama is just working within the machine and playing a "long game", setting stages, enhancing atmospheres, doing what is possible, at this moment in time, with the media that exists. It may take 3 Obamas. It's a big illusion.
The global corporate elite are grasping at straws, manipulating media, creating scandals, maintaining control of their people. But we can now see it and watch it, live on the internet, people are waking up and wising up and acting out all over the world, and we have a president that welcomes it and encourages it to happen.
Don't confuse the man with the machine.
We ain't seen nothin' yet.
Gay marriage will be legal federally, marijuana will be legal, public-owned or reality based media like RT TV, Current TV, Al Jazeera will rise above, as people become aware, the illusion will become more evident as information increases, outlets such as Fox News will be forced to adapt based on public opinion, intelligent blogging back-end systems such as Daily Kos will rise in popularity, the illusion will become more and more meaningless and transparent and business models will be forced to adapt or go out of business, like Rush Limbaugh, who lost 2,600 sponsors in the past year and is playing dead air during breaks.
Things are fucking changing, rapidly. These fake scandals are a just another sign of that. Our global owners are in their final throes of control, which may last over a decade. The people just aren't buyin' it anymore, and at an ever-increasing rate. The silent majority is taking over, globally. The world is flat now.
