US Imperialism, Obamamania Over
Essay by Leland Lehrman
July 31, 2008

There's still lots of talk about war with Iran. US and Israeli bigwigs hop the pond every week trying to reassure each other that they are still in control. But they're not. Russia just sealed the deal for Turkmen gas and will control the vast majority of Caspian Basin Resources as a result. The best efforts of Special Operations Command patsies to kill any peasants standing in the way of the banking cartel's oil major front companies have failed. The "Grand Chessboard" strategy of Zbigniew Brzezinski has ended in checkmate, but Brzezinski's acolyte Obama is still making lunatic noises about sending more troops to Afghanistan and even Pakistan in support of that equally illegitimate war.

Two brigades Obama wants, 7,000 troops. Obama supporters: are you ready for wedding party blood on your hands from the upcoming "anti- terrorist" operations under Obama's surge? Hell, you should know by now that anyone who uses the words "War on Terror" together in support of US military policy anywhere is either lying, crazy, deluded, stupid, uninformed or an imperialist. Not exactly presidential material, in other words. 911 Was an Inside Job. The Obama campaign is just Kool Aid for the disaffected and disempowered, he's acid for your political brain. And the results will be the same.

Fortunately, the American people have come to their senses in time and realize that they don't want war with those nations any more than every other defeated imperialist nation's people did. The Afghans will win, make no mistake about it. They didn't do anything in the first place except give the pipeline contract to someone other than the US (Bridas Corporation, Argentina). It is only a matter of time, but they will win. You can't train even American soldiers to colonise places as inhospitable as Afghanistan. Those nations belong to the people who live there, and they will have to work out their religious, political, agricultural and drug problems on their own, which is the way it should be. Thousands of years of imperial meddling and what do you expect? Some type of Polynesian utopia?

You don't want to live under Sharia law? Fine, don't go there, but you know what, we've got plenty of work to do in our own backyard. How's life under complete lawlessness, where the US Congress passes a law that grants the Bush Administration immunity from prosecution for war crimes? Welcome to America. And you think I'm going to give this group of criminals the moral imperative to wander the Earth imposing their criminal syndicate on everyone else. Give me a break. Thanks to Obama's vote on FISA, the NSA has (unconstitutional but) "legal" cover to read this email too. What else do I get with my hope and change?

Obama is the same type of morally bankrupt imperialist that Bush is, only stupider and even more dangerous because he has all the desperate, brainwashed leftwing types eating out of his "above it all" hand. Boy will it be sad to watch the faces of despair when the Obama sellout becomes apparent even to the lemming legions. Wake Up! You've got better things to do than give legitimacy to a stealth imperialist with left-cover.
