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.
