Barack Obama Worked For The CIA - John Pilger

Can President Obama be serious when he says he accepts the Nobel Peace Prize as an affirmation of American leadership on behalf of aspirations held by people of all nations?

Among all nations does he include the people of Iraq? Polls show folks there overwhelmingly want the U.S. to get out. Apparently, they didnt care for their dose of American leadership. Does Obamas all nations include Okinawa, which the U.S. has occupied for 64 years and refuses to leave?

Does all nations include Diego Garcia, whose inhabitants the U.S. forced from their island homes in the Indian Ocean, (as Time magazine has reported,) and whose dogs we gassed for good measure? (President Bush later used that base to attack Afghanistan, the better to dominate the oil-rich Middle East.)

Since hes been in office only a short time, when Obama speaks of an affirmation of American leadership is he referring to the eight years of warmongering by his predecessor George W. Bush, who tore up every international treaty he could lay his hands on? In fact, global public opinion polls identified Bush as one of the most feared public figures on the planet. What kind of leadership is it when one UN member invades another based on lies and kills a million of its people, steals it blind, and shatters its economy? Calling that leadership is a bit wide of the mark.

Perhaps Obama is referring to the leadership of his friend Bill Clinton, who let half a million Iraqi children starve to death during his White House watch and who inaugurated the rendition kidnappings of men off the streets of foreign countries---men who were subsequently tortured and denied legal rights and representation?

Leaders, of course, are supposed to have followers. But a CNN poll September 15th found that 58 percent of Americans oppose the war in Afghanistan. That war is as illegal as the war in Iraq, yet President Obama is deliberating about whether to escalate it, not whether to end it.

Obamas statement accepting the Nobel is as misleading as his remarks to the CIA last April 16th when he praised the Agency and hailed the U.S. as a nation of laws when today it is, in fact, the worlds principal law-breaker. The fact is, the charismatic new president appears to see the world through the dark glasses of the CIA and has aligned himself with the Agencys imperialist agenda. Given Obamas past employment, this is not that odd.

According to Wikipedia, upon graduating from Columbia University, Obama for a year held a position as a research associate in Business International Corp., a CIA front organization. The company is alleged to have kindly paid off Obamas college loans for him. Obama worked in BICs financial services division, where he edited Financing Foreign Operations, a global reference service, and wrote for Business International Money Report, a weekly financial newsletter. According to an article in the October issue of Rock Creek Free Press, of Washington, D.C., reporter Wayne Madsen writes, Through its contacts with leading liberals around the world, BIC sought to recruit those on the left as CIA agents and assets. At any rate, the New York Times reported in 1977 that a BIC company official admitted providing cover for CIA employees.

The CIA, of course, has long been tied in with advancing the interests of the oil industry. Its Middle East station chief Kermit Roosevelt in 1953 stage-managed the overthrow of the democratic government of Iran after it nationalized its oil industry, as it had every right to do, especially when they were being cheated like mad.

As the CIA works largely under cover, many of its activities such as the torture in Iraq and Afghanistan prisons are concealed from public view. So Obama, as a former CIA asset, protects the Agency by not calling their alleged torturers to account, by withholding photographs of their nauseating handiwork, and by praising the bandits in public. One way to tell who really runs a country is to look to see which, if any, of its citizens are above the law. In America, those people are headquartered in Langley, Virginia. #

In Ancient Rome the "Oligarchs or Elites"

Would appoint a Brutal Tyrant, to rule a conquered people with sheer brutality for years.

Meanwhile they would also groom "One of the People"

out from the "conquered" of the same Ethnicity.

On the edge of revolt they would depose the Tyrant

and place the "ONE" that the people would identify w/

he would be elegant, well spoken..

This person would usher in the bigger war, and tax the people to the limit., Thats what OBAMA is.

We're grateful to media whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost forty years. It would've been impossible for us to implement our NWO if we had been subject to the bright lights of publicity during those years. The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national auto determination practiced in past centuries."

@Crickin4 some friends of mine and I were discussing just that last night...Too many people are getting very robotic!!

(2/2) "...Some of the complications and embarrassment that I think we have experienced are in part attributable to the fact that this quiet intelligence arm of the President has been so removed from its intended role that it is being interpreted as a symbol of sinister and mysterious foreign intrigue and a subject for cold war enemy propaganda."

[akatsuki777member]

(1/2) Harry S. Truman, the creator of the CIA in 1947 when he signed into law the 'National Security Act', said this sometime after Kennedy's death: "For some time I have been disturbed by the way the CIA has been diverted from its original assignment. It has become an operational and at times a policy-making arm of the government...I never had any thought that when I set up the CIA that it would be injected into peacetime cloak-and-dagger operations.

I like the way he writes. :) Very good. I'm glad to hear this. n.g.

[ubuntuguruCOZA]

In a monetary system, democracy is an illusion perpetuated to give the populace a feeling of participation in a so-called democratic process.

Dear Barack Obama, How many times have you used the clone machine in the CIA? lol

[QCBEC]

@whereismybailouttv that CIA is a terrorism organisation.

[Bozo1360]

@whereismybailouttv

The point is he is still working for the C.I.A. That would explain a whole lot about the mystery that is Obama. Obviously Obama serves the Bushes and Wall Street. Why would we "look forward"? Crime is alright? Since when? There is certainly more here than meets the eye.

[whereismybailouttv]

Suppose for a moment that he did work for the CIA. Considering the mass apathy of most of the public, what difference would it make?

Progressives will write books about it. Obama wrote a book about it. They can call for an investigation. He can deny it. If he did work for the CIA, wouldn't it make sense that he's signed some type of non-disclosure agreement?

No matter how you look at this, what's the point?

[SuperOmnicron]

very interesting...read about this....supposedly he his mother was connected to micro-financing in Indonesia, his grandmother connected to money laundering in Hawaii .
