I've spent several exhaustive hours gathering information, exploring op/ed pieces trying to parlay some contiguous, or even disjointed logic of the Nobel Committee's decision to nominate our President, Barack Obama. Joan Walsh posted her excellent take here on Salon last week but, one of my personal favorites Michel Chossudovsky wrote a piece that bears some scrutiny... Take a moment read the full article.
I'm all for "Hope and Change" , but the direction of our Country, more Corporatism, less Individualism, and a larger role as World Police, serves only one group. Sadly, I know the 99%, us will receive nothing of value from this madness.
When war becomes peace,
When concepts and realities are turned upside down,
When fiction becomes truth and truth becomes fiction.
When a global military agenda is heralded as a humanitarian endeavor,
When the killing of civilians is upheld as "collateral damage",
When those who resist the US-NATO led invasion of their homeland are categorized as "insurgents" or "terrorists".
When preemptive nuclear war is upheld as self defense.
When advanced torture and "interrogation" techniques are routinely used to "protect peacekeeping operations",
When tactical nuclear weapons are heralded by the Pentagon as "harmless to the surrounding civilian population"
When three quarters of US personal federal income tax revenues are allocated to financing what is euphemistically referred to as "national defense"
When the Commander in Chief of the largest military force on planet earth is presented as a global peace-maker,
When the Lie becomes the Truth.
Obama's "War Without Borders"

these are frightening times. nothing seems to make sense. I thought we the voters cast our voices for peace, not token symbolism. ~R~
Based on what I read daily we shouldn't be shocked, ever! You gotta' hold on tight when black turns white! Good observation, makes me wonder if we're live or dead sometimes...
