Obama Libya Speech noted for Open Fascist Declaration - International Social/Political

The revealing line in an otherwise cumbersome, meandering speech was like a cymbal-clash shattering a funeral silence. Obama justified future unilateral military action -- without approval from Congress -- on the basis of the usual arguments: “I will never hesitate to use our military swiftly, decisively, and unilaterally when necessary to defend our people, our homeland, our allies, and our core interest.” No surprises here, but Obama quickly followed with an historically familiar, but shocking nevertheless, ‘justification’ for future unilateral military intervention; “when our safety is not directly threatened, but our interests and our values are!” [Emphasis added.]

The (intentional) message couldn’t have been clearer; the US will engage in a pre-emptive attack on anyone it chooses, whenever it chooses and for whatever reasons it chooses; “values” is a VERY BROAD header, notwithstanding that “interests” is also broad but is generally interpreted as Corporate/PROFIT related!

In effect the US executive has given itself carte blanche to invade, murder and steal whatever it wishes from whomsoever it decides to target – any nation, group or individual! [Are you reading this, Russia and China?]

It is NOW a matter of urgency that the WORLD familiarise itself with American ‘values.’

One need only review the recent past to gain a VERY CLEAR UNDERSTANDING.

President Bush regarded the American Constitution and Bill of Rights as, “pieces of paper” and did everything in his (Cheney’s) power to make the Executive a law unto itself and answerable to no one. The ‘values’ that directly flowed from increased Executive power and minimised accountability are; pursuing a pre-emptive military strike on Iraq based on LIES, the consequent deaths of over ONE MILLION INNOCENT CIVILIANS, the displacement of over three million civilians and the destruction of a once viable State!

The USA is now indisputably the world’s leading civilian killing, therefore terrorist, nation -- FACT! Should we add legalising TORTURE and (illegal) INDEFINITE DETENTION without charge or trial; how about intrusive surveillance on America citizens or the loss of rights and freedoms our forefathers battled and died to implement and preserve? The above are the REAL ‘values’ of TODAY’S America, THE HISTORICAL RECORD bears TRAGIC TESTIMONY to the FACT!

The list of American criminal activity increases by the day; Drone warfare is by nature a crime against humanity, as it indiscriminately kills INNOCENT civilians, yet current US ‘values’ allow CIA agents and the military to launch deadly missiles FULLY COGNISANT of the fact that innocent people will die. What do you think of REAL American ‘values’ NOW, people? The bitter taste in your mouth is the new flavour of American F-A-S-C-I-S-M; no difference exists betweens Nazi ideology and that expressed by Obama in his speech Monday, none whatsoever!

So, where do the WORLD’S moral, law abiding MAJORITY stand in relation to current American values? DIAMETRICALLY OPPOSED, of course!

In no way or by any demented stretch of the imagination do we support the US in its current role as the world's leading criminal nation. However, we do support bringing those responsible for mass murder and other crimes against humanity to trial. We also support RESTORING REPRESENTATIVE DEMOCRACY and the rule of LAW.

As for your speech Obama -- you reprehensible PUPPET -- you can blow it and Y-O-U-R criminal ‘values’ out your arse!
