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He repealed the Smith-Mundt act which now allows the CIA/FBI to directly propagandize American citizens & infiltrate unions/ NGO’s/school boards/ & organizations of all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He effectively repealed Habeas Corpus & gave the government the authority to jail people indefinitely without a trial.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.

Obama- hoist by his own terrorist petard

But what happens when President Obama aids the enemy?  Will we as a nation insist that the President should also be subject to the law?  Are we a nation of laws, or corrupt banana republic which only enforces the law against those powerless to resist?

The most transparent administration strikes again

In regards to the Amash amendment which would have de-funded the portion of the NSA earmarked to spying on American citizens (which was narrowly voted down last night), the office of the President's Press Secretary :

In light of the recent unauthorized disclosures, the President has said that he welcomes a debate about how best to simultaneously safeguard both our national security and the privacy of our citizens...we oppose the current effort in the House to hastily dismantle one of our Intelligence Community’s counterterrorism tools. This blunt approach is not the product of an informed, open, or deliberative process.
My irony alarm was so overloaded by this statement that I had to turn it off because all the neighbors were complaining. To show just how much the President values an informed, open, process, he sent the head of the NSA to brief members of Congress:
NSA head Gen. Keith Alexander scheduled a last-minute, members-only briefing in response to the amendment, according to an invitation distributed to members of Congress this morning ...The invitation warned members that they could not share what they learned with their constituents or others. "The briefing will be held at the Top Secret/SCI level and will be strictly Members-Only," reads the invite.
Ha! How's that for open and informed? [More . . . ]
