With the Government shutdown looming be sure to stock up on food, and water, somehow I think food prices will rise somemore.

The attack on Libya was planned at least as far back as Feb. 2001 and most likely much earlier than that (80's?). These are wars for resources, nothing else.

Original Blog Entry: Obama Raises American Hypocrisy To A Higher Level

I can't find anything to disagree with in Paul Craig Robert's latest article prompted by Obama's speech on Libya.

Obama Raises American Hypocrisy To A Higher Level

Paul Craig Roberts

Infowars.com

March 30, 2011

What does the world think? Obama has been using air strikes and drones

against civilians in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen, and probably Somalia. In his

March 28 speech, Obama justified his air strikes against Libya on the grounds

that the embattled ruler, Gadhafi, was using air strikes to put down a

rebellion.

Gadhafi has been a black hat for as long as I can remember.

If we believe the adage that where there is smoke there is fire, Gadhafi is

probably not a nice fellow. However, there is no doubt whatsoever that the

current US president and the predecessor Bush/Cheney regime have murdered many

times more people in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen and Somalia than Gadhafi

has murdered in Libya.

Moreover, Gadhafi is putting down a rebellion against state authority as

presently constituted, but Obama and Bush/Cheney initiated wars of aggression

based entirely on lies and deception.

Yet Gadhafi is being demonized, and Bush/Cheney/Obama are sitting on their

high horse draped in cloaks of morality. Obama described himself as saving

Libyans from violence while Obama himself murders Afghans, Pakistanis, and

whomever else.

Indeed, the Obama regime has been torturing a US soldier, Bradley Manning,

for having a moral conscience. America has degenerated to the point where having

a moral conscience is evidence of anti-Americanism and terrorist activity.

The Bush/Cheney/Obama wars of naked aggression have bankrupted America.

Joseph Stiglitz, former chairman of the President s Council of Economic

Advisers, concluded that the money wasted on the Iraq war could have been used

to fix America s Social Security problem for half a century. http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2008/feb/28/iraq.afghanistan

Instead, the money was used to boost the obscene profits of the armament

industry.

The obscene wars of aggression, the obscene profits of the offshoring

corporations, and the obscene bailouts of the rich financial gangsters have left

the American public with annual budget deficits of approximately $1.5 trillion.

These deficits are being covered by printing money. Sooner or later, the

printing presses will cause the US dollar to collapse and domestic inflation to

explode. Social Security benefits will be wiped out by inflation rising more

rapidly than the cost-of-living adjustments. If America survives, no one will be

left but the mega-rich. Unless there is a violent revolution.

Alternatively, if the Federal Reserve puts the brake on monetary expansion,

interest rates will rise, sending the economy into a deeper depression.

A d v e r t i s e m e n t

Washington, focused on its newest war, is oblivious to America s peril. As

Stiglitz notes, the costs of the Iraq war alone could have kept every foreclosed

family in their home, provided health care for every American child, and wiped

out the student loans of graduates who cannot find jobs because they have been

outsoured to foreigners. However, the great democratic elected government of

the world s only superpower prefers to murder Muslims in order to enhance the

profits of the military/security complex. More money is spent violating the

constitutional rights of American air travelers than is spent in behalf of the

needy.

The moral authority of the West is rapidly collapsing. When Russia, Asia, and

South America look at Europe, Australia and Canada, they see American puppet

states that contribute troops to the aggressive wars of the Empire. The French

president, the British prime minister, the president of Georgia, and the rest

are merely functionaries of the American Empire. The puppet rulers routinely

sell out the interests and welfare of their peoples in behalf of American

hegemony. And they are well rewarded for their service. One year out of office

former British prime minister Tony Blair had a net worth of $30 million.

In his war against Libya, Obama has taken America one step further into

Caesarism. Obama did Bush one step better and did not even bother to get

congressional authorization for his attack on Libya. Obama claimed that his

moral authority trumped the US Constitution. The hypocrisy reeks. How the public

stands it, I do not know:

To brush aside America s responsibility as a leader and more profoundly our

responsibilities to our fellow human beings under such circumstances would have

been a betrayal of who we are. Some nations may be able to turn a blind eye to

atrocities in other countries. The United States of America is different. And as

president, I refused to wait for the images of slaughter and mass graves before

taking action.

This from the Great Moral Leader who every day murders civilians in

Afghanistan and Pakistan and Yemen and Somalia and now Libya and who turns a

blind eye when the great democracy in the Middle East, Israel, murders more

Palestinians.

The American president, whose drones and air force slaughter civilians every

day of the year went on to say Libya stands alone in presenting the world with

the prospect of violence on a horrific scale. Obviously, Obama thinks that one

million dead Iraqis, four million displaced Iraqis, and an unknown number of

murdered Afghans is just a small thing.

The rest of Obama s speech showed a person more capable of DoubleSpeak and

DoubleThink than Big Brother and the denizens of George Orwell s 1984.

How does a person as totally absurd as Obama expect to be taken

seriously?

Dr. Paul Craig Roberts is the father of

Reaganomics and the former head of policy at the Department of

Treasury. He is a columnist and was previously an editor for the Wall Street

Journal. His latest book, How the

Economy Was Lost: The War of the Worlds, details why America is

disintegrating.
