Obama: “I'm a Big Believer in Conning People”

No, he didn't say that. He said “I'm a big believer in net neutrality. I campaigned on this, I continue to be a strong supporter of it,...” And he is referring in this 2010 interview to the then FCC Commissioner. The current Obama-appointed Chair of the FCC is industry lobbyist Tom “Wheeler-Dealer” Wheeler.

So from at least 2007 to at least 2010, Obama presented himself publicly as a staunch supporter of net neutrality. Now, without any public notice, he is sneakily moving to “destroy one of the best things about the Internet,” to quote the man himself.


                                                                                                                                                    

But then, Obama tries to conduct most of his evil in secret. From massive, omnipresent NSA surveillance, to assassinations, to draconian laws, to organized repression of protest in the U.S., to supporting some of the worst dictatorships in the world (like Egypt), Obama tries to keep what he does hidden, while trumpeting verbiage designed to dupe. Immigration is a prime example of the glaring contradiction between his words and deeds. While deporting record numbers of people from the U.S. (2 million and counting), smashing to bits tens of thousands of struggling families in the process, and unleashing a violent, murderous Border Patrol, when the political heat from average people starts to rise, he spouts “immigration reform” rhetoric, while doing nothing to push Congress to act. He announces ameliative programs with great fanfare, which in practice remain virtually dormant. (That happened with “mortgage foreclosure relief” too.) The actual programs he pursued with vigor are for greater repression, such as the Orwellian-named “Secure Communities” program, which turn local police into arms of the Immigration Police. This turns immigrant communities into fearful, Insecure places where people cannot report crimes because they will in effect be turning themselves in for summary imprisonment and deportation.

The larger reality to grasp is that the Democratic Party is just as repressive as the Republican Party, and there is plenty of evidence for this, from every Democratic regime form Woodrow Wilson to the current one, as I have described in previous essays in detail.
