Good piece except for the rant at the end about the NWO. I've been saying for months, Obama is full of crap and an establishment candidate. He doesn't vote any differently than any of the other statist losers. Obama, McCain, it's just more of the same.

Lib Dems â€œDisappointedâ€ with Obamaâ€™s FISA Betrayal

Kurt Nimmo

June 26, 2008

Lib netroots, that is to say â€œprogressiveâ€ Dem bloggers and social networkers, are disappointed over Barack Obamaâ€™s support for the so-called FISA bill, more accurately described as a concerted effort to kill the Fourth Amendment and usher in the snoop and control grid.

â€œWhen former Sen. John Edwards dropped out of the presidential race, the progressive Netroots took their affections to Barack Obama, defending him against attack from Hillary Rodham Clinton and others,â€ reports Politico. â€œBut with his support of a government surveillance bill that offers retroactive immunity to telecommunications companies â€” a bill that he vowed last year to filibuster â€” the honeymoon has ended.â€

Obama didnâ€™t really mean it, same as he didnâ€™t mean heâ€™d reconsider NAFTA. Heâ€™s a politician, after all, and generally speaking politicians tell the mob what they want to hear in order to garner votes and then, on the day after the election, go back on their promises. Of course NAFTA will not be â€œrenegotiatedâ€ and corporations will not be held liable for conspiring with the government to undermine the Fourth Amendment. Our globalist rulers are in the process of slowly but surely turning the planet into a slave labor gulag and high-tech police state and Obama and McCain are dutifully on-script, they get their marching orders and talking points from on-high.
Unfortunately, leftish Democrats and other such â€œprogressivesâ€ are unable to realize this simple enough fact. Carrie Budoff Brown writes for Politico:

Disappointed over his position on the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, the online activists feel jilted and betrayed and have taken to questioning his progressive credentials. One prominent blogger, Atrios, has even given him the moniker â€œWanker of the Day.â€

â€œHe broke faith,â€ said Matt Stoller, a political consultant and blogger at OpenLeft.com. â€œObama pledged to filibuster, and he is part of that old politics, in this case, that he said he wasnâ€™t. It will spur us to challenge him.â€

It really is astounding how easily the lib Dems are fooled. Youâ€™d think they would do their homework, but no.

Barack Obamaâ€™s core support comes from the bankers and the financial elite â€” Goldman Sachs, UBS AG, Lehman Brothers, JP Morgan Chase, Citigroup, Morgan Stanley and Credit Suisse â€” and his top advisor is none other than Zbigniew Brzezinski. His wife is CFR. It looks like he went to the Bilderberg confab in Chantilly.

â€œObama will be controlled by Zbigniew Brzezinski and the Trilateralists, in other words Obama will be controlled by David Rockefeller and the Council on Foreign Relations,â€
I wrote on May 7.

â€œMore policies directed by the World Bank, a Trilateral project, as the last six out of seven World Bank presidents have been pulled from the Trilateral Commission, including the neocon Paul Wolfowitz. Actually, when it comes to globalism and imposing a slave and control grid on the whole world, there is little difference between neocons and neolibs.â€

For the international bankers and the neolibs, the Fourth Amendment â€” indeed, the entire Bill of Rights â€” is little more than an irritating impediment. Lib Dems seem perpetually unable to understand this. But then a large number of their organizations and publications â€” MoveOn.org, Code Pink, the Nation, the Progressive, Globa Exchange, Mother Jones, Democracy Now, etc. â€” are funded by the Ford Foundation, Rockefeller, Carnegie, Soros, et al. The CIA, the CFR, and the Trilateral Commission are at the source of this foundation support. So, quite naturally the lib Dems are like babes in the woods and their disappointment is entirely dismissible, even a sick joke.

If you listen real hard, you can hear the Whoâ€™s â€œWonâ€™t Get Fooled Againâ€ playing just beneath these ludicrous lamentations.

â€œThe FISA debate marks the presumptive Democratic nomineeâ€™s first serious break from the liberal Netroots in the general election. He is still their candidate, but the FISA issue has reignited skepticism among major bloggers, who had largely pushed aside doubts about Obama when Edwards, their favored candidate, ended his bid in February.â€

Indeed, he is still their candidate â€” and will be all the way to November.
In other words, the lib Dems, the â€œprogressivesâ€ who support Obama, are as much to blame for killing the Fourth and the Bill of Rights as the neocons. Letâ€™s hold them responsible for enslaving humanity. Letâ€™s not dismiss their habitual naivety. Because, at the end of the day, when you turn them upside down, they are all shills for the New World Order, even if they are foolishly ignorant of this fact.

In this thread yesterday, I made the point that liberals are turned off by Obama's lack of credibility in the Senate.

On the progressive blog Dailykos they were all up in arms over this, and they supported him through the primary.

They even got Keith Olbermann to make a post explaining why he wasn't going after Obama over this, hehe.

Not Obama. He is allowed to waffle and straddle issues while presenting lousey plans. If you disagree with the waffles you must be a racist.

Glen Greenwald tore Olbermann a new one on his blog.

http://www.salon.com/opinion/greenwald/2008/06/26/olbermann/index.html

What's much more notable is Olbermann's full-scale reversal on how he talks about these measures now that Obama -- rather than George Bush -- supports them. On an almost nightly basis, Olbermann mocks Congressional Democrats as being weak and complicit for failing to stand up to Bush lawbreaking; now that Obama does it, it's proof that Obama won't "cower." Grave warning on Olbermann's show that telecom amnesty and FISA revisions were hallmarks of Bush Fascism instantaneously transformed into a celebration that Obama, by supporting the same things, was leading a courageous, centrist crusade in defense of our Constitution.

Is that really what anyone wants -- transferring blind devotion from George Bush to Barack Obama?

The real danger is that those who defend Obama the Candidate no matter what he does are likely to defend Obama the President no matter what he does, too. If we learn in 2009 that Obama has invoked his claimed Article II powers to spy on Americans outside of even the new FISA law, are we going to hear from certain factions that he was justified in doing so to protect us; how it's a good, shrewd move to show he's a centrist and keep his approval ratings high so he can do all the Good things he wants to do for us; how it's different when Obama does it because we can trust him? It certainly looks that way. Those who spent the last five years mauling Bush for "shredding the Constitution" and approving of lawbreaking -- only to then praise Obama for supporting a bill that endorses and protects all of that -- are displaying exactly the type of blind reverence that is more dangerous than any one political leader could ever be.
