Hey everybody it’s Friday and today we celebrate all things wacky and fun from around the internet. I’ve assembled some videos and pictures that you might get a kick out of. Enjoy! (more…)
In case you have never heard of John Pilger he is an Australian journalist and documentary filmmaker. He is a 2 time winner of Britain’s Journalist of the Year award. John Simpson, the BBC‘s world affairs editor, has said, “A country that does not have a John Pilger in its journalism is a very feeble place indeed.”
With that introduction Pilger exposes President Obama for what he is on a 5 minute video on Youtube. Pilger exposes Obama as nothing more than a corporate mouth piece and “actor” who’s job is to sell Americans on horrible decisions and policies of the government. Have you ever asked yourself, how come you never see a fat person in a McDonald’s commercial? Any rational person will tell you what McDonald’s does to a waistline. Have you ever wondered why every soda commercial has a healthy looking person with a big white smile? We all know the effect soda has on teeth and the potential of diabetes. Madison Avenue sells the message that if you buy the right brand-name beer, that beautiful women will be knocking down your door and the party will be pumping. The reality is most people buy beer and just sit on the couch and watch sports.
It’s all in the marketing. Obama is nothing more than a highly respected Billy Mayes. A man who sells the American people a policy (product) that we neither want nor is good for us. But instead of coming on at 3am in the morning like all the other infomercials, these “politicians” come out in the day, while your at work and have other things on your mind.
If you do anything this week. Watch this video. It will ALL make sense to you. As much as people don’t want to believe it, really think about it, is the policies of this President ANY different than the past President?
This is a wake up call to ALL Americans. The left/Liberal/Progressives’ have been lied to. Pride is making it too hard for them to believe it. The right/Conservatives are so filled with anger and hatred that they fail to see how destructive these policies are to America. Instead of the policies all they see is Obama and buzzwords of “socialist” and “marxist”. Obama is not that. He is a fascist. Just like George Bush was. And just like the next President will be.
I hate to make light of the situation. But as Darth Vader said to Luke Skywalker when he did not want to believe in inconvenient truths. He said,”Search your feelings Luke. You know it to be true!”
Americans’ we are in BIG trouble and it don’t matter come election time in November 2010 or November 2012. We are in BIG trouble.

“What national security permits the removal of fundamental power from the people and validates the ascendancy of an invisible government in the US? That kind of national security is when it smells like it, feels like it, and looks like it you call it what it is: Fascism!” –Kevin Costner’s character (Jim Garrison) in the movie J.F.K.
