On Sunday, CBS correspondent Steve Kroft interviewed him on 60 Minutes - giving him a prominent propaganda platform, everything pre-scripted, largely asking softball questions instead of holding a rogue presidents feet to the fire responsibly. Not a chance on mainstream television, a medium for the proliferation of Big Lies on issues mattering most, notably when government officials or retired generals and admirals are interviewed. Obamas interview featured a litany of Big Lies and willful coverup of high crimes of state. Americas economy is deplorable. Protracted Main Street Depression continues, things getting worse, not better. Obama bears full responsibility - exclusively serving Wall Street, war profiteers and other corporate favorites, willfully and maliciously thirdwordizing America, half the population impoverished or bordering it, the once prosperous middle class close to disappearing altogether. Not according to Obama, insultingly saying: (T)heres no reason why
every single American, no matter what they look like, no matter where they come from
can succeed. And that's my goal as president. That's what I think about every day. And that's what led me to run for president in the first place. Rubbish!! His corporatist agenda exposes his war on ordinary Americans and fundamental freedoms, beginning on day one in office, continuing relentlessly. His goal: creating a nation of rulers and serfs, militarized for absolute control, tyranny by any standard. He handed Americas wealth to Wall Street crooks and other corporate bandits, waged war on social justice, whistleblowers, and democratic freedoms. Hes been more ruthless than any of his predecessors, at home and abroad. Hes waged multiple wars of aggression throughout his tenure - direct and proxy ones, responsible for millions of casualties, targeting Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria, Donbass, Yemen, and partnered with Israel against Palestinians - while letting homeland needs mattering most go begging, exploiting ordinary Americans ruthlessly, causing devastating harm to millions of struggling households. He lied about his war on Syria, raping one of many countries on his watch, displacing half the population, causing a refugee crisis along with millions from other countries, devastated by US aggression, using ISIS and other cutthroat killers as proxies, US foot soldiers trained to commit atrocities, ludicrously claiming he wants America kept from becoming more militarily involved. Turning truth on its head, adding: We are prepared to work both diplomatically and where we can to support moderate opposition that can help convince the Russians and Iranians to put pressure on Assad for a transition
(W)e are not going to
try to reinsert ourselves in a military campaign inside of Syria - ignoring US warplanes bombing Syrian targets daily on the phony pretext of striking ISIS, Washingtons ally, not enemy. Hell continue arming and otherwise supporting imported ISIS and other takfiri terrorists. No so- called moderate rebels exist, a convenient fiction endorsed by media scoundrels. He spurned Putins overture to work cooperatively against terrorists in Syria, absurdly claiming his effective campaign is counterproductive, making things worse, not better - worse for his regional imperial agenda, what really concerns him.

Go, Stephen, go! 60 Commercials has a very bad history despite some real high points for window dressing purposes. Alan Stang, one of Kike Wallace's early writers, used to expose Kike as a total liar and phony. He once told Kike he'd say anything for money. Stang had such integrity and knew the political beast first hand -- one of many great truth heroes we've lost in the past decade.
Sting of Stang bump
The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out... without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane, intolerable. ~ H. L. Mencken
