Barack Obama Selectively Grapples with Authoritarianism

I voted for Obama twice. I knew he wasn’t perfect when I voted, but now his gloss has almost completely dulled for me. Why? Yes, for the reasons mentioned by Jimmy Dore. But especially because Obama has now been exposed as one of the main architects of Russiagate. And not in an incidental way. Obama’s involvement with that vast conspiracy and the years’ long coverup was intentional and premeditated (see here and here and here). And worst of all, Obama’s ruse disenfranchised half of U.S. voters.

Jimmy Dore:

Obama prosecuted more journalists using the Espionage Act than all presidents before him combined.

He arrested, jailed & tortured Chelsea Manning for revealing war crimes committed in our name.

He repealed the Smith-Mundt act which now allows the CIA/FBI to directly propagandize American citizens & infiltrate unions/ NGO’s/school boards/ & organizations of all kinds.

He deported 3 million Hispanics & built the cages Democrats protested against under Trump.

Obama took us from 2 wars to 7 wars while ramping up the drone bombings killing innocent people left & right.

He effectively repealed Habeas Corpus & gave the government the authority to jail people indefinitely without a trial.

Obama is a Myth pushed by the establishment & their bought media to make you think there was someone fighting for you while he was serving Banks, Big Pharma, the MIC & his corporate masters.
