Obama's Inconvenient DOE Truth...

Hmmm?

The Daily Kos says - "you can't negotiate with disaster."

If the Daily Kos was honest, their headline would have read:

"You can't negotiate with $500 million dollars from BP in your pocket."

You see, it seems there's a few politicians involved with
the BP Horizon oil catastrophe who have had their
political pockets stuffed with millions of dollars from
a certain Big Oil company by the name of B F'n P.

No need to dance around here, let's cut to the chase...

Let's start with who Mr. Obama picked as his Energy Secretary,
Mr. Steven Chu.

Steven Chu is in charge of the Obama administration's management
of the BP Horizon oil disaster. But Steven Chu has just a small
conflict of interest here.

Well maybe not so small... because right before Mr Chu left
UC Berkley, he founded the "Energy BioSciences Institute," and
a certain Big Oil company by the name of B F'n P funded
Chu's institute to the tune of FIVE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS!

motherjones.com

But wait - there's more!

Because it's not just Steven Chu that B F'n P stuffed
the pockets of...

Now I want you to take a wild-assed guess, what one politician
in America over the last twenty years - did B F'n P give
the most money to?

What fat cat, Republican, capitalist, Big Oil pig would that be?

Whoops!

It's not a Republican...

It's Barack H. Obama!

politico.com

Obama is #1 all time biggest recipient of BP cash!

While the BP oil geyser pumps millions of gallons of petroleum
into the Gulf of Mexico, President Barack Obama and members of
Congress may have to answer for the millions in campaign
contributions they’ve taken from the oil and gas giant over
the years.

BP and its employees have given more than $3.5 million to
federal candidates over the past 20 years, with the largest
chunk of their money going to Obama, according to the Center
for Responsive Politics. Donations come from a mix of
employees and the company’s political action committees —
$2.89 million flowed to campaigns from BP-related PACs and
about $638,000 came from individuals.

On top of that, the oil giant has spent millions each year on
lobbying — including $15.9 million last year alone — as it has
tried to influence energy policy.

During his time in the Senate and while running for president,
Obama received a total of $77,051 from the oil giant and
is the top recipient of BP PAC and individual money over
the past 20 years
, according to financial disclosure records.

=============

And just in case you think that stinks to high heaven...
it get's even better.

Guess who Steven Chu then picked as his under-Secretary of Energy?

That would be Steve Koonin, B F'n P's former chief scientist!

Then there's those NINETEEN ENVIRONMENTAL WAIVERS that the
OBAMA ADMINISTRATION has issued since the BP Horizon
catastrophe...

rawstory.com

Now imagine the psychopathy that it takes to go on national
television and look America in the eye... and for the first
10 minutes of your press conference, blame the BP Horizon
catastrophe on the Bush administration - given the connections
that you, your DOE Secretary, and under-Secretary, all have
to B F'n P!?!?!?

Hmmm?

Politico.

Mother Jones.

Raw Story.

Hardly right-wing, Republican sources.

Millions of Republicans woke up to Bush-Cheney,
don't you think it's about time that millions
of Democrats set aside the cognitive dissonance
denial blanky and did the same thing with Obama?

Maybe then we can take this country back from thieving
bankers, Big Oil, and the multi-national corporatist's.

Much of Obama's base - public school teachers, union workers,
and state and local government workers, are now getting laid
off and losing their jobs... because Obama's Stimulus Bill
funds went to political insiders, payoffs to cronies, and
the multi-national corporations.

Obama's Stimulus Bill gave millions to multi-nationals like
the Whirlpool Corp, which after receiving your taxpayer
money - closed it's plant in Evansville In, and moved
those jobs to build new "Green Appliances" - to Mexico.

Whirlpool to get $19.3 million in stimulus funds for “smart”
appliance development.

wsbt.com

Whirlpool will close Evansville plant in 2010 and move 1100 production jobs to Mexico.

indianaeconomicdigest.net

Obama's Stimulus Bill allowed George Soros who help fund
the launch of Obama's campaign, and how funds Democratic
groups like Move On. org, TIDES/Apollo Group/ Storm/ACORN,
to double down on his Petrobras holdings, and then make
millions by dumping those shares immediately after Obama
gave them billions in loan guarantees.

Here he buys low…

marketwatch.com

“Soros reports 73.5% increase in Petrobras stake”

Feb. 17, 2009, 9:20 p.m. EST

“Billionaire investor George Soros on Tuesday reported that
during the fourth quarter he increased his already considerable
stakes in Brazilian state-controlled oil company Petroleo Brasileiro S.A.”

And thanks to Mr. Obama, here he sells high, after the stock doubled…

bloomberg.com

Aug. 14 (Bloomberg) — Billionaire George Soros cut his stake
in his biggest holding, Petroleo Brasileiro SA, in the second
quarter while buying more shares of other energy producer

His New York-based hedge-fund firm, Soros Fund Management LLC,
sold 22 million U.S.-listed common shares of Petrobras,

It sure pays, and pays well, to be a friend and political
supporter of Barack Obama, now doesn’t it?

Obama's Stimulus Bill gave $35 million to his political
cronies in Chicago at Shorebank and they immediately
sucked the entire bank so dry - federal banking regulators
issued a "cease and desist order."

centralillinois912project.com

Obama's Stimulus Bill gave the husband of one of his DOE
staffers a "monopoly" position in the Replacement Windows
business with taxpayer money.

washingtonexaminer.com

Not to mention this insider-sweetheart deal on "Smart Meters."

mensnewsdaily.com

And then there's Al Gore... who's venture capital and hedge
fund holdings were direct, windfall recipients of over
$500 million dollars of your taxpayer dollars...

examiner.com

It was never meant to be a jobs bill.

It was just another payoff to cronies, political insiders,
banks, Big Oil, and multi-nationals.

It's time to quit drinking the Kool-Aid and wake up Democrats.

You got punked.

You bought an illusion and voted for someone who doesn't exist.

Don't feel bad, I've been there & done that with Bush-Cheney.

The CFR's official historian Carroll Quigley (Bill Clinton's
mentor at Georgetown), wrote about the charade of the two-party
system...

"The argument that the two parties should represent opposed
ideals and policies, one, perhaps, of the Right and the other
of the Left, is a foolish idea acceptable only to the
doctrinaire and academic thinkers. Instead, the two parties
should be almost identical, so that the American people
can "throw the rascals out" at any election without leading
to any profound or extreme shifts in policy."

- Carrol Quigley, in his book “Tragedy and Hope.”

Check out how many cabinet positions from both parties
have been CFR members over the last thirty years. Virtually
all of them.

If the banks, Big Oil, the multi-nationals and the military-
industrial complex don't control both parties through
the CFR, and the Trilateral Commission - then why has either
Brzezinski, or Kissinger been running US foreign policy since
the Nixon White House?

That's nearly 40 years - and nothing's changed.

If the two parties are really different, then why is
the Obama National Security Council and Pentagon run
by all the same Bush-Cheney appointees?

Ooooh, I said "CFR & Trilateral Commission."

There's your out.

Now you can remain emotionally crippled and intellectually
impotent by dismissing it all as conspiracy theory nonsense.

You want to know the truth?

Here's who runs America...

And it's not Alex Jones saying it - it's Obama's National
Security Adviser Gen. James Jones...

Remarks by National Security Adviser Ge. James Jones at the
45th Munich Conference on Security Policy:

cfr.org

Published February 8, 2009

Speaker:
Gen. James L. Jones

U.S. National Security Adviser Gen. James Jones gave these
remarks at the 45th Munich Conference on Security Policy
at the Hotel Bayerischer Hof on February 8, 2009.

"Thank you for that wonderful tribute to Henry Kissinger
yesterday. Congratulations. As the most recent National
Security Advisor of the United States, I take my daily
orders from Dr. Kissinger, filtered down through General
Brent Scowcroft and Sandy Berger, who is also here. We have
a chain of command in the National Security Council that exists today."

==========

And it's the same "chain of command" that's existed for years.

In his own words, our National Security Adviser admits
he takes his daily orders not from the President, but from
the same fat, putrid, bankster-gangster puppet that's helped
rape, loot and pillage this country since the days of Nixon...

Henry Kissinger.

Both Playboy Magazine and Daniel Estulin's book -
"The Bilderberg Group" have quoted the un-named "top
Canadian official" who said Henry Kissinger once told him...

"Jimmy Carter is not the President of the United States. The
Trilateral Commission is the President of the United States;
and I represent the Trilateral Commission."

-- Pg 154 "The Bilderberg Group" By Daniel Estulin

Fwiw, the two US Presidential administrations with the
most Trilateral Commission members, are the Jimmy Carter
and Barack Obama administrations.

While domestic social policies may differ greatly between
the two parties - not much else does.

The bankers are agnostic.

So are the multi-nationals and the military-industrial complex.

So is Big Oil.

Perhaps no one on the liberal left has more credibility
in calling out Obama for what he is - than John Pilger.

I'd urge anyone who voted for, or who still supports
the single greatest marketing campaign in history...
"Brand Obama," to watch this video clip from Socialist 2009,
held in San Francisco (hardly a right wing event...).

youtube.com

Democrats, you've just received one helluva wake up call,
you can either go down with the party ship, or you can wake up
and help take your country back from the bankers, Big Oil, the
multi-nationals, and military-industrial puppeteers.

The choice is all yours.

Wake up to the now obvious truth, or keep clinging to
that Hope & Change denial blanket.
