I could only be called semi-handsome, in a dim light, at 20 feet, while taking a shower, many years ago.

Someone is all wet!

Good looks may not be everything, but they can give one a head start in life. But, paraphrasing Mark Twain, "God must love plain-looking (ugly) people, as he made so many of us." And, I'd rather be loved by God than look like a young Sean Connery, or how Cary Grant looked at any age.

Still, in my next lifetime, I'd like to have a six- foot, four-inch-tall body, with muscular, well- shaped limbs, a fabulous throwing arm, jet black hair (that later turns to a steel gray), piercing blue eyes, weighing in at a slim 235 pounds, all topped with a kill-her smile. I'm talkin' tall, dark, and devastating. No more Willie Nelson looks for me unless I can sing and write music like he can.

If God will give me such looks, I promise to try to win his love, in spite of my gorgeousness ­ which reminds me of another good-looking chap who needs to work overtime to win God's love ­ Barack Hussein Obama, once known as Barry Soetero.

Why the name change, Mr. Obama? Anybody know?

Not long ago, Barack Obama, a relatively unknown African American, was being sheep-dipped (gaining a new identity, to build political creditability) as a Constitutional Law professor at the highly regarded University of Chicago School of Law, while he doubled as an Illinois state legislator. All this, when he, by rights, should have been studying our Constitution before becoming a professor pretending to teach it.

And even though flextime professor Barack Obama had produced no original scholarship papers on US Constitutional Law, he was offered a tenured position at the lofty Chicago School of Law. But oddly enough, hardworking Professor Obama refused tenure, as he must have known he was on a faster greased track to something much bigger ... if ... he could only improve his poor teleprompter-reading skills.

And, Mr. Soetero ... er... Mr. Obama applied himself to his trade, which was not clear-sighted statesmanship, but neurolinguistics. And in time, his teleprompter-reading coaches perfected a slow rhythmic flow of speech, broken up with many "uhs,"and having the same measured cadence as the words that appeared on his teleprompter screens.

Mr. Barack Obama had become the Banking Cartel’s “one-trick pony.” And that ruse, that stratagem, was to be able to read their words from a teleprompter screen as if they were his own.

Then, in an unprecedented move, the powerful Democratic Party kingmakers gave lowly state Senator Obama a national stage by allowing him to display his newfound reading cadence at the presidential nominating convention of 2004.

The lying begins!

And even more amazingly, the following year, Barack became a United States Senator. Then unbelievably, three years later, Mr. Obama became president and commander-in-chief of the most militarily equipped nation in the world, without ever serving a day in the military. And, unless a person is extremely naive, one knows that some powerful interests made Mr. Obama into Mr. President, and then into the President of Broken Promises.

These power brokers took a mere community organizer, who had never worn a uniform, and supposedly put him in charge of the greatest military force in human history. Really? Is Mr. Obama really in command of our military?

They took a man who, to my knowledge, has never earned a dime in the private sector and  placed him at the helm of our economic ship-of-state. Really? Is Mr. Obama really in command of our economy?

Has Obama ever had a job in private enterprise, worked on a budget, or led anything more than an ACORN gathering before becoming a banker-paid-for politician?  

The only power we are conversant with that has that much muscle is the private and foreign International Monetary/Banking Cartel. And true enough, it was those oligarchs who gave Mr. Obama over six times the funds for his first presidential campaign as they did that groveling Republican guy ­ what's his name ­ the angel of death ­ John McCain ­ the one who wants to torture men, women, and children detainees indefinitely.

This rise for President Obama "From Obscurity to Savior: In Three Years" has to be some kind of record in American politics and would make an excellent title for an exposé.

The simple truth is American presidents are not elected by ballot but by blood, money, and secret societies. And that is American democracy. Is Mr. Obama the ultimate Manchurian Candidate ­ a simple dupe who, unbeknownst to himself, has been convinced to act toward some sinister purpose?

Mr. Obama is a strange fellow, with an even stranger past; he is unusual in a way that is unsettling and difficult to understand ­ at least to those people who can be objective about the man.

Those who are stuck deeply in the left/right paradigm, however, have no inclination to be objective. As a result, they are blind to all truths that do not reinforce their biased opinions. And contempt for opposing ideas, prior to any real investigation, is sure to keep them ignorant.

This promoted left/right division amongst people is the opposite of the lesson that is the salvation of us all: We are all one.

Empirical evidence, however, will not dissuade those who are deeply attached to their emotional, irrational beliefs. But …

Remedial work in geopolitics will not open the minds of those mired in the left/right paradigm, as they are badly in need of spiritual remedies. Nevertheless, facts are facts; and provable facts are the subject matter of this entire article.

One glaring truth is that Obama was in the US Senate for only half a term before he became our president. Has that ever occurred before? How did that happen? Who is Obama?

Obama was and is a blank slate upon which his fans seem to have projected their wishes, hopes, fantasies, broken souls, and anything else that fans fancy. But remember, the word "fan" is short for fanatic, that is, one possessed by an excessive or irrational zeal, especially for an entertainment, religious, or political personality ... or perhaps for a petty demagogue.

The canonizing of the phenom, known as Barack  Hussein Obama, is a remarkable, but entirely understandable, happening. We have become a nation largely made up of idolaters, without the most basic of political insights.

Mr. Obama, and his Office of the Presidency, is no worse or better than the Republicans who have held that office. The main problem with Obama, however, is so many Americans overlook his tyranny more than they do the despotism of a Republican president. Is fascism more acceptable if it comes to us with a liberal label and an ever-smiling face.

But, what happens when Obama, with rock star status, doesn't deliver on the "free lunch" some of his fans have been fanaticizing about?

What happens when it becomes obvious that ObamaCare is bringing us more than a trillion dollars in new costs, billions in increased taxes and fees, huge Medicare cuts, doctor shortages, death panels, and other atrocities carefully hidden in its thousands of pages of legislation and regulations that no member of Congress has even read, much less written? Have you read it, Mr. Obama?

What if President Obama takes us into expanded wars, or even more wars, and further destroys our dollar and our national morality and security in the process?

Should our young men and women continue to be sent into Middle Eastern countries to die for your Pentagon contractors, Mr. President?

The trillionaires who bought control of Obama and somehow profit from war, misery, pain, and death must be exposed and routed out of the realm of decent beings. We must all voice our opposition to the government’s insane policy of instigating wars and then occupying foreign countries. This alone would save the lives of millions of our innocent brothers and sisters. Will that day come? Somehow, someway, I feel that day is near; it is approaching, in spite of puppets like the George Bushes and Mr. Barack Obama.

What if Obama's socialism is only for the super-rich? What if his policies bring on the greatest economic depression in our history? Then, will Obama's fans turn against him and his policies?

Not likely! And that is the main reason the power structure made Obama their president, with his spectral image justifying every crime coming from the White House.

Since becoming president, Mr. Obama appears to know little about our Constitution, and next to nothing about economics or diplomacy. Does the man not understand how we are borrowing billions of dollars to pursue our shameful wars? Does he not understand how that, alone, has made paupers out of many Americans? Also, someone needs to explain to our president that every time he bombs a nation, he is admitting his ineptness at diplomacy. It seems unbelievable that we have a Nobel Peace Prize winner who is bombing innocent people with his impersonal drones. Was Mr. George Orwell correct when he said, “War is Peace?”

All this on top of Mr. Obama’s broken promises and his inability to prevent national scandals does not bode well for the man. Will chroniclers record him as the most ill-fated president in our history?

With his socialist proclivities, it is obvious that lying comes easily to President Obama ­ as it does to the American people who have long lied to themselves ­ but still, I do not think Obama is innately evil.

Certainly, he disregards our Constitution. Or is he simply ignorant of its tenets? Is he aware that it is this invaluable document that has been the basis of making the United State of America the greatest country in recorded history?

But even if Mr. Obama tried to preserve the institutions that made America just, affluent, and free, the Controllers’ corporate media would excoriate him until even black Americans would begin calling for his impeachment. To have a president who forwards the best interests of America, we need a much better informed body politic ­ an impossibility while the global elite control the mainstream (lamestream) media with their outlandish (but somehow convincing to most people) propaganda.

In spite of Obama’s bloody scandal of killing thousands of innocent civilians with his aerial drones and then passing it off as mere collateral damage, is he really to blame? Are his shameless and inept cover-ups of Fast and Furious and Benghazi-gate more the whitewashing of crimes of his controllers? Are “his” open border policies really the policies of the Luciferian elite, who exert control over the world? In another report, the Obama administration has been collecting the telephone records of millions of Verizon phone customers under a top-secret court order. Did Mr. Obama know of this before the world did?

In any case, President Obama is not our major problem, in spite of his Associated Press and Internal Revenue Service scandals. Our problem is us, the citizens of our country. Mr. Obama is merely a reflection of us, the American people. If we want the depraved Illuminati out of our lives, we must wake up to that fact.

Still we must not overlook the naked truth that during President Obama’s first term in office, the federal government accumulated more debt than it did under the first forty-two American presidents, combined. Ignorance of the vital importance of that fact is utterly inconsistent with individuality, liberty, or prosperity, as it is financial irresponsibility that is at the core of all other governmental crimes.

For the last century, we have been getting the Big Brother government we deserve, with all its many alphabetic agencies ­ the kind of central government many people seem to want.

The physically strong are more likely to want limited government, while the weak support governmental intervention into most aspects of their lives. And since there have always been far more weak than strong, socialism has always closely followed on the worn and bloody heels of civilization ­ a civilization ironically developed by the physically and mentally strong and then lost to the more numerous weak. That in a nutshell is why a constitutional republic is far superior to a democracy. Do we want brave and hard-working smart, strong people leading our country or the ones weaned on the free, but meager, handouts from a sick socialist state?

With the combination of so many physically and mentally weak Americans, it is little wonder that Barack Obama was elected as our president, even without the usual election fraud exercised by the Controllers.

As a lame-duck president the incompetence of George Bush’s leadership became ever more obvious. The same has proven true of Obama. There are few political differences between George Bush ­ the Lesser, and Barack Obama ­ the Imposter. Both are facsimiles of the bulk of the American people.

As so many Americans are beholden to the federal government through jobs or welfare, they will continue to support the Controllers’ current pitchman, President Obama, even though he has lost all of the moral authority he once possessed. He is now the president of broken promises and shattered dreams. The “Yes we can” man is now the … “But not in my lifetime” man.

Did later circumstances prevent President Obama from keeping the promises he made as Senator Obama? If so, perhaps Senator Obama was, by rights, far too naïve to have ever become President Obama.

In any case, Mr. Transparency, Hope, and Change is perhaps the grandest liar ever on the American stage ­ a man who blatantly lies without ever being taken to task for his mendacity.

Instead of transparency, we got deception. Instead of change, we got more bombings, drones, and tortures.

Keep in mind that Mr. Obama’s promises were not phrased with high levels of abstraction or with nebulous phraseology (meaning all things to all people). He made concrete commitments (obligations, if you will) to perform specific actions ­ promises he immediately broke, but broke with a smile.

Do smiles make up for broken promises? Apparently they do for many Americans.

And while campaign oratory is notorious for its ambiguities, for some Americans, President Obama has simply become notorious himself.

Is lying successfully the culmination of President Obama’s ambitions?

Still, many Americans do not seem to care that Obama has not delivered on all the promises he made while running for the US presidency. Promises such as, "I will promise you this, that if we have not gotten our troops out by the time I am your president, it is the first thing I will do. I will get our troops home. We will bring an end to this war[s]. You can take that to the bank."

Instead, President Obama continued our war in Iraq, expanded the war in Afghanistan, and has waged new ones in Pakistan, Syria, and Libya.

In a trifecta of Banking Cartel victories, the US is still bombing innocent people, and torturing others, while destroying their production of food, clean water, and electrical power, along with poisoning environments for billions of years with depleting uranium ­ all now fronted by Mr. Barack Obama.

In a world where news means propaganda, transparency means secrecy, liberation means slavery, sustainability means death, terrorist means patriot, democracy means imperialism, change means more of the same, and promises mean lies, Mr. Obama must feel right at home.

The indiscriminate and brutal American terror bombings in Libya’s civilian areas are but one example of Obama’s dark intentions to deceive all those who have believed his lies.

Supported by the Banking Cartel’s media, Libya’s Muammar Gaddafi was portrayed as a mad tyrant and bloody dictator who had to be removed from life.

A former thorn in the side of the Luciferian Banking Cartel.

On closer inspection, however, we discover that Muammar Gaddafi’s main “crime” was to operate his country independent of the tight financial orbit owned and rigorously controlled by the International Banking/Monetary Cartel.

The government of Libya had its own wholly owned central bank that issued loans to its people free of interest, as riba (usury) was not permitted in Libya.

Beyond the nomadic Bedouin and Tuareg tribes, most Libyan families owned both a house and a car.

Before the fifty-two daily bombings began, Gaddafi’s government gave free health care and education to its people, and enjoyed a literacy rate of over 80 percent.

Prior to the continual US/NATO bombings of Libya, life expectancy there was seventy-five years, the highest in Africa, and about 10 percent above the world average.

Preceding the US-led air attacks, there was little to no unemployment in Libya. It was a nation that had the highest gross domestic product in Africa, with less than 5% of its population classified as poor.

The Axis of Prey.

Libya, a hot, dry, dusty country, under the  leadership of Muammar Gaddafi, completed what was known as the largest infrastructure project in the world. A man-made, underground river was created that provided drinking water to 70 percent of the Libyan people and held the potential of turning wastelands into farmlands ­ that is, until US/NATO bombs destroyed its pumping stations.

Back in 1991, at the gala opening of the Great Man-made River project, Muammar Gaddafi said to the invited dignitaries and assembled crowd, “After this achievement, American threats against Libya will double. The United States will make excuses, [but] the real reason is to stop this achievement, to keep the people of Libya oppressed.”

His words were prophetic.

Then after laying waste to the nation’s water and electricity, US/NATO forces went after Libya’s largest food supply ­ its camels.

For many decades, beginning in the summer, thousands of camels made a three-month journey from the grasslands of Libya to metropolitan markets, where the animals were sold for food.

These camel migrations were bombed into bloody chunks of meat and bone amid the screams of painfully dying animals. This wanton slaughter of thousands of camels in the deserts, where the food rotted, denied the Libyan people their major food source.

The excuse offered by the Cartel’s Western media for this barbarity? “The camels were carrying weaponry to support those loyal to Muammer Gaddafi.”

This absurd lie is easy to see through when one realizes that Gaddafi’s Libyan army troops could transport weapons all over their country in a matter of days, not months, with airplanes and vehicles, not camels.

Death and destruction of all life forms are the hallmarks of the US/NATO military forces that are imperiously controlled led by the Luciferian International Monetary/Banking Cartel.  

Now, with the awful destruction of not only Libya but Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, and Gaza, all once free and independent countries, it will take decades to come close to the affluence those countries once prospered with, prior to our atomic bombing of them with deadly depleting uranium.

In fact, the long-term prospects for the entire Middle East do not bode well as the whole region has been turned into a radioactive hot-land and will remain so for billions of years. For no tactical or strategic reasons, DU (depleting uranium) has been employed in the US/NATO and Israeli bombings throughout the Middle East.

Clearly, Mr. Obama is guilty of war crimes. Even Jay Leno said, “The liberals are asking us to give Obama time. We agree … and think 25 to life would be appropriate.”

But still, the Western corporate press calls our insane international crimes against humanity   “humanitarian interventions.”

In response, surely the Arabs of the Middle East  are saying, “Do us a favor, Mr. Obama, do us no more favors.”

If our government has derived its powers from the consent of the governed, then the governed are as insane and amoral as those who lead our country.

Many Americans, however, are rising from their sickbeds of fear and ignorance and riding the noble horses of truth and enlightenment.

A Rasmussen poll tells us that a mere 17 percent of US voters believe the federal government has the consent of the governed ­ a basic precept in any democracy. Not only have Americans lost their sacred republic, now we don’t even have a democracy.

And in such an upside down world, President Obama is allowed to keep his Nobel Peace Prize. Can someone please explain that to me? Is it because Obama has brought "peace" to so many people by killing them?

President John F. Kennedy said, “Mankind must put an end to war, or war will put an end to mankind.”

Americans have the right to demand of a president who has won the Nobel Peace Prize that he end our unholy wars, not expand them.

Peace, without war or domination, is a child, delicate and precious ­ one we should not deceive or abuse.

The US-led butchery in the Middle East has been so savage that no American can any longer be proud of their country or its pathologically lying president.

While most Americans continue to search for their disappearing bling-bling, they are unaware of our awful bomb-bang bombs we have inflicted and still are inflicting on millions of people.

Observe the atrocities committed on the edges of empire, as these crimes against humanity will migrate to the center of the empire.

When a president engages in unilateral wars of foreign aggression, he admits his inadequacy in diplomacy.

According to the Pulitzer Prize winning PolitiFact, President Obama has already broken over nineteen of his campaign promises. Was the man merely ignorant of what a president can actually accomplish, or is Obama simply a congenital liar? The evidence seems to point to the fact that Mr. Obama is a serial liar ­ perhaps something he cannot help but be.

French workmen in the 1800s protested against their working conditions by throwing their wooden shoes, called “sabots,” into machinery. From the French word sabots has come the English words sabotage and saboteur.

A saboteur is a person who commits or practices underhanded interference in a plant, factory, or nation, especially during war.

Under the above definition, little George Bush and the mendacious Barack Obama both qualify as secret saboteurs of the American tradition of fair play, while both have pretended to protect our security, with their torture of human life.

Of all the US crimes committed during the Bush/Obama administrations, the torture of human life is the most shockingly hideous ­ the most difficult to forgive.

While Mr. O may be the lessor of evils between the Democrats versus Republicans, he does seem to be the most effective purveyor of evil with his smile and charming ways.

The great French author, Alex de Tocqueville traveled extensively throughout America during the first third of the nineteenth century. He wrote: “America is great because she is good, and if she ever ceases to be good, she will cease to be great.”

Since World War II, the US military has been guilty of torturing noncombatants with the strategically unnecessary bombings of civilians and their infrastructures. But the wanton killing and wounding of innocents, or the denial of their essentials and services, such as food, water, fuel, electrical, and plumbing facilities, do not begin to compare with the brutal, personalized, one-on-one tortures now practiced by the United States of America.

The corporate media tries to convince us that “enhanced interrogations” are not torture and the destruction of countries brings them democracy.

American soldiers and airmen who believe they are bringing democracy to Iraq and Afghanistan should be told what Voltaire said on the subject: “Those who can make you believe in absurdities can make you commit atrocities.”

The rudest awakening to the real Barack Obama may be his continuation and advancement of the heinous torture policies of his predecessor ­ the demonic little George Bush, the Lesser.

The promises of Obama to close the Guantanamo Bay prison camp and to respect the restrictions of the Geneva Convention (while he reviewed American torture techniques) have all come to nothing other than more broken promises.

Amy Goodman, on her "Democracy Now!" Internet show, interviewed political investigator Jeremy Scahill. He reported that during the first Obama administration, the US began using a notorious military police unit that regularly brutalized unarmed prisoners, including the “gang beating” of them, breaking their bones, gouging their eyes and dousing them with toxic chemicals.

Even Harper's magazine writer Scott Horton states that he has obtained specific corroboration (from a highly credible military officer with firsthand knowledge) of Iraqi men, women and children being raped and sodomized by our sons, our US soldiers in Abu Ghraib.

Keep in mind that the above tortures took place in front of witnesses. But, as reported in the Washington Post, there seem to be a number of secret prisons where special torture techniques are carried out by the CIA, with nary a witness allowed.

And by Special Order of President Bush, and not repealed by President Obama, the CIA does not have to reveal to anyone who these prisoners are or what happens to them behind the heavy impenetrable walls of roughly 170 US prisons around the world. Not satisfied with torturing detainees, US officials also seem to want to leave relatives and friends of the detainees in a state of perpetual worry and misery, wondering what happened to their loved ones.

Abu Ghraib sections off men from their wives and children, and children from their mothers, except when children are being tortured in front of their parents.

Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, and all other oversight agencies have been denied permission to see these children or to even know where they are imprisoned in Iraq. What is being done to these children that you have to hide them, Mr. Obama?

Is there a dark ghost of evil that haunts Mr. Obama’s every presidential action?

Give us some answers, Mr. Obama. Insist that your teleprompter writers print your messages  in large letters, making it easy for you to read your answers to us.

The International Monetary/Banking Cartel that politically controls our government has long practiced incrementalism. Each tyrannical step of the Cartel builds on the last, cumulatively, and each step appears logical to those who are unable to think beyond what they have been told by the authorities and the Cartel’s corporate media.

In the English Isles live some of the most docile and pliable people on Earth, with most of them “civilized” by Beta Testing to the point of being almost as domesticated as household pets.

Beta Testing is a pre-release form of testing in which a sampling of the intended public is tested with various propaganda gambits until one is discovered to be workable. England is a perfect testing ground for the Cartel's incremental and draconian policies. If a new piece of tyranny will not fly in the UK, it certainly will not work anywhere else on earth, except maybe in Canada.

And as predicted, England's Scotland Yard has been accused of waterboarding English citizens, who are only suspected of criminality, but with no proof of such, with little blow-back from the British public.

But thus far, even English citizens can only be tortured for 28 days. How long will it be before English and American citizens are incarcerated and then tortured indefinitely?

Indefinitely? Tortured? In America?

Torture used to be un­American.

Yes, President Obama’s new Prolonged Detention policy has “no limits” on how long suspects can be imprisoned and tortured. This policy has gone well beyond the Cartel’s usual incrementalism. Under President Obama's latest unconstitutional doctrines, the US will be officially imprisoning people, not for any crimes they have committed, but for "crimes" they may commit in the future.

Huh? Really? Can that be true? Yes, that is right. Obama announced we will now officially (not undercover like George Bush did) imprison and torture people who cannot be found guilty of any crimes, but who may commit a crime in the future. This is not George Orwell's concept of Thought Police taken to unfathomable heights? Only Obama could openly get away with it; and, that is one of the main reasons the Cartel made him our president.

The US corporate media is keeping this piece of Obama tyranny under wraps. And why?

So as not to shock Obamanoids awake, who have long been struck dumb with paralytic political naivete, but you may still be able to see and hear Obama, himself, "ah-uh-ing" all about it on YouTube. Search “Rachel Maddow: Indefinite detention? Shame on you, Mr. President”.

But be forewarned: Mr. Obama is a likeable person who has a knack for making tyranny sound normal ­ which it has been for most major governments down through history.

After condemning Bush for his illegal ad hoc legal strategy of making up rules as he went and then trying to make them seem legal, Obama had the gall to say he would do the same thing: ”And so, going forward, my administration will work with Congress to develop an appropriate legal regime so that our efforts are consistent with our values and our Constitution."

What? You will work to make torture consistent with our values and Constitution? By working with Congress? What exactly does working with Congress mean, Mr. President? To change our Constitution, you would need a Constitutional Convention, not a few calls to a couple of US senators.

Consistent with our Constitution? Did you really teach Constitutional Law, Mr. President? In any case, you certainly need much better teleprompter writers, Mr. Ex-Law-Professor- turned-Teleprompter-Reader-In-Chief.

One doesn't have to teach or even study any Constitutional Law to understand that you, as a sitting president, cannot legally make up laws. Such is the case, whether your “laws” are consistent with our American Constitution or defy it, as your proposed ad hoc Prolonged Detention scheme outlines.

And how long is "Prolonged,” Mr. Obama? A twenty-eight-day imprisonment is the longest period of preventive detainment allowed, under law, in any civilized country in the world. How long is your preventive detention, Mr. Obama?

Obama spoke of ten years, but didn't limit his preventive detention to a mere decade. Does our president realize that ten years of detention is over 130 times longer than that of any other nation?

If such tortured detainees do "confess" to crimes they have not committed, what then? Ten more years of detention until they confess to more crimes they are not guilty of committing? What's the ultimate solution? More detention? More torture? More what? Have you even thought that far ahead, Mr. President?

Rachel Maddow said that Obama's prolonged detention is “one of the most radical proposals for defying the Constitution that we have ever heard made to the American people."

And as Voltaire wrote, “Those who can make you believe absurdities [like bringing democracy to Iraq] can make you commit atrocities.”

The United States has seldom lived up to its rhetoric, but nowhere has it ever lied to the degree it has concerning its torture of innocent men, women, and children as it has under the Bush/Obama administrations.

We are told that the people we have interned are the worst terrorists of the worst, a lie on its face when one considers that we also imprison small and innocent children.

A more grievous example of intended public mis-education (we imprison the worst terrorists of the worst) can hardly be imagined. The utter  intentional dissemination of mis/disinformation has become a guiding principle of the US federal government and its allies in the corporate media.

In reality, American military and intelligence agents callously gather up stray, homeless non-combatants as they wander around their US­ destroyed, small, family farms, which border on battlefields. Most often, we pay local warlords to provide us with women, children, and men to torture.

Why do we torture homeless people, even children, who have no intelligence data to give?

Certainly, the torture of such poor Arab farmers engenders hate for America and invites terrorist attacks on our homeland from Muslims around the world? So, what is the real reason for all this rush to torture human beings?

The official reason given by government authorities for our deplorable treatment of largely uneducated small farmers is that if we torture them long enough, they will give us valuable information about the enemy. How many innocent souls have we tortured into the dark, unforgiving corridors of insanity?

It is OUR intelligence services that finance OUR enemies to keep OUR wars going. All the while we blame Iran or Pakistan for OUR financing and supplying of war materials to OUR supposed enemies in order to start yet another war.

The CIA/Mossad nexus has more intelligence on al Qaeda than all the Arabs in the entire world combined. So, if we are not torturing Arab individuals and families for intelligence data, why are we torturing them?

The continued US practice of torture has to come from the highest command source that we know of: the Luciferian International Monetary and Banking Cartel.

Why does the Cartel want to torture human beings?

That’s a question best left to metaphysicians. But, perhaps it will suffice to say that our President Obama, our titular commander-in-chief, is so far down the command structure that he has little to say about our torturing of human life, other than …

“I don’t want to offend the intelligence community.”

What Mr. Obama really means is, “I don’t want to offend the International Banking/Monetary Cartel that arbitrarily controls me.”

Certainly, Mr. Obama is well aware of the five former American presidents (Kennedy, Lincoln, McKinley, Garfield, and Jackson) who tried to limit the power of the Banking Cartel. All were murdered, except for Andrew Jackson, who barely survived assassination attempts.

You see, the International Monetary/Banking Cartel automatically controls our government through their effective control of the intelligence establishment.

Torture was a crucial issue while Bush was president, but it is now not much discussed in polite company, lest one be called a racist by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) for even criticizing a black president. The SPLC claims to hate hate, but it obviously loves the torture of human life.

Are we to close off our minds to the thousands of constant screams of agony from around the world? Will we continue to take refuge in such nebulous terms as Enhanced Interrogations, Harsh Interrogations, Rough Interrogations, or an Alternate Set of Procedures?

The Kafkaesque nightmare of the endless enhanced interrogations practiced by our US intelligence agents on defenseless human beings cannot easily be imagined; therefore, some of us are completely convinced that savage, inhuman, American-torture practices do not exist.

The US cruelties on what must be called political prisoners ­ the “scientific” experiments in torture, the wholesale executions ­ tax the credulity of most Americans. But to do anything about reversing this shameful, ignoble situation, we must first know of its existence.

The aims of sadistic governmental torturers and their propagandists in the media are completely irreconcilable with those of us who are horrified by torture. There must be no compromise with our demands to completely end the evil practice of torturing human life, as the torture of any sentient being, or any justification of it, is the lowest from of human depravity.

It is not too late for our country to become far more ethical. Or is it?

Please, declare your own abhorrence of US torture. God gave most of us early warning rescue devices: our conscience and the ability to think and act for ourselves. But be forewarned: our rescue devices can become non-functional if used too infrequently.

The great seventeenth century philosopher John Locke, whose work was later reflected in our own American Declaration of Independence, wrote, "As soon as men decide that all means are permitted to fight an evil, then their good becomes indistinguishable from the evil which they set out to destroy."

Nothing begins to compare with Obama’s role in expanding the utterly psychopathic practice of torturing human life, something we should not do to dogs or any of God’s creatures.

Now after all the years of our fraudulent war on terror and its attendant war crimes, Americans find themselves in an expanding police state, one that shows no signs of contracting.

Being a Cartel puppet may prevent you from being able to end such tyranny, with its torture practices, but outrageous indulgences do not become you or our nation. In good taste, Mr. Obama, you should probably reconsider all those many dinner parties, laden with Wagyu steaks (at $200.00 per serving), with the best wines and aperitifs, all on the heels of America’s most expensive inaugural celebration in history.

One percent of Americans eat far better than the rest of us.

Mr. Obama, with his vastly expanded war expenses, failed economic programs, and broken promises seems to be out of touch with the dire concerns of most Americans. Proof positive of this lack of reality is Michelle Obama’s grand tour of southern Africa.

At a cost of almost a half a million dollars ­ and that was just the cost of her air flights ­ Mrs. Obama, and a sizeable entourage in tow (over twenty family and staff members), went on a South Africa/Botswana holiday tour, which included a Kruger National Park safari.

Expensive vacations, at public expense, do not seem to concern the Obamas, who celebrated  over forty-two days one year, at a cost at over ten million dollars.

There are those who see the Obamas as acting as if they have just won the lottery, and they are going to make the most of it while they are able. Needless to say, we expected more from what we had hoped would be a national and international leader.

You spoke the rhetoric when running for the presidency, Mr. Obama, now show us you can at least follow through on some of your many promises.

Thus far, sir, you have nothing decent to celebrate. In a time of unprecedented public and private debt (that you helped to create), a time when Americans continue to lose their homes, cars, jobs, and savings, you would be well advised to seriously begin thinking about some food fasts, instead of fast foods and feasts, to cleanse your body, mind, and soul. Also, you would be wise to limit your family’s vacations.

And as the face of our nation, I would also much appreciate a few less smiles from your handsome countenance. Until we discontinue killing and torturing human life, our entire nation should be in mourning.

But perhaps this essay has been unfair to you, Mr. President. For shortly into your second term of office you made some momentous statements. The occasion was a speech you gave at the National Defense University ­ a speech of about forty-five minutes. But buried deep within your talk were your notable remarks ­ urgently important comments the major media has largely chosen to ignore.

And anything the corporate media refuses to report on, or even acknowledge, is usually of paramount importance to the American people.

In your speech, you gave credence to the fact that American presidents are primarily fronts, spokesmen, or figureheads for the dark power that secretly controls them.

You campaigned on shutting down the torture-prison of Guantanamo before being elected in November of 2008, but as president, you never did so. In your National Defense University speech, you claimed your efforts to shut-down Gitmo were stopped by powers greater than yourself.

Regarding torture, you stated, “In some cases, I think we compromised our values by using  torture to interrogate our enemies and detaining individuals in a way that ran counter to the rule of law.”

With respect to your use of domestic drones, you stated, “For the record, I do not believe it would be constitutional for the government to target and kill any US citizen ­ with a drone, or with a shotgun ­  without due process, nor should any President deploy armed drones over US soil.”

I also want to thank you for telling us how we have lost so many of our freedoms here at home, when you said, “We must define the nature and scope of this struggle or else it will define us. We have to be mindful of James Madison’s warning that no nation could preserve its freedoms in the mist of continual warfare.”

But in spite of your good wishes, the atrocities at home and abroad still continue, purportedly because you are limited in your policy-making powers. But as you well know, those dark forces that dominate US presidents exercise powerful control over, not only the Office of the President, but all three branches of our federal government. And those diabolical forces want continual war, with all its attendant miseries.

And as governmental insanities continue to run rampant, our people become conditioned to expect and accept anything and everything that oozes forth from the traitors who pretend to be our well-meaning leaders.

But I am amazed at the political savvy exercised by my favorite Late Night television host, Jay Leno, in spite of all the censors he must have to deal with. On his show, Jay said, “President Obama says he is renewing his efforts to close Guantanamo Bay. How about closing the IRS? Why don’t we do that? How about shipping the IRS to Guantanamo Bay?”

Will true historians, later, regard Mr. Obama as our most extreme example of affirmative action, with its inherent racism? I truly hope not. We need real men of substance leading America, not puppets of their hidden and dark masters.

POSTSCRIPT : Please carefully reread this entire article so you’ll have a good idea of the horror that is going on, and so you can distance yourself from it. Make a firm and sincere announcement to yourself,   your Higher-self, and to your God that you deplore torture, will have nothing to do with it, and ask for forgiveness for your country’s participation in it.

Distance yourself from those who authorize torture, commit it, or are ignorant of it, and from the negative karma they are sure to inherit.

Remember as Americans, Englishmen, or Israelis, we are all, at the least tangentially, culpable of torturing life. That is, until we ask for forgiveness, and then distance ourselves from it by opposing torture, in our minds, hearts, and souls.
