RE: Open Secrets: Which US Politicians Receive the Most from the Defense Industry?

in #politics7 years ago (edited)

I don't know about a swamp, I'd say U.S politics is more akin to a festering sewer .. a sewer that's rapidly flooding the states and leaving the whole country smelling of shit! I wonder when people will awaken to the fact that the politics of this world are little more than theater.

It's a shocking testament to this times in which we live that Obama managed to walk away with a fucking peace prize! What a sick joke!!

I became so annoyed with friends crowing over Obama that I decided to list his acheivements and post them everytime they made a comment. They soon shut up! But I guess he gives a great rendition of "My Way" and is brilliant at high fiving, so fuck it eh?

The Obama administration has been at war longer than any other administration in the history of the United States, last year alone the administration dropped over 26,000 peace bombs, Obama signed the NDAA into law - making it legal to assassinate Americans w/o charge or trial, his drone bombing campaigns expanded into seven countries and have killed thousands of innocent men, women and children,

his administration was responsible for ten times more drone bombings than Bush, he dramatically expanded the power of the secretive Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC), off the top of my head (so this is approximate) he took the national debt from 6 trillion to 20 trillion – i.e he is not the financial saviour of the world and is simply kicking the can down the road, under Obama corporate profits rose by 116% whilst wages rose by 3.4%, Over 90% of all new jobs are temporary jobs, he has persecuted more whistleblowers and journalists than any other President before him, repealed the propaganda ban - making it legal to spread government propaganda via news outlets,

he personally oversaw a secret kill list, pushed TTP & TTIP (which is a ruse by big business to strangle the world with red tape), Used uranium warheads in Libya, Carpet bombed Libyian cities, despite lecturing to the contrary he has deported more immigrants than every other president in history, his administration included more bankers and wall street executives than any before it, sold 30 billion dollars worth of weapons to Saudi Arabia, Covert boots on the ground in Syria (despite promises to the contrary), 20,000 air strikes in his first term, covert drone war in Yemen, invaded Libya without congressional approval, Guantanamo Bay was never closed and approximately 10,000 troops are still operating in Afghanistan.

I focused on Obama as after reading your post and seeing how highhe is placed on the list, it just makes my blood boil to think he's sitting at home with a peace prize! It's beyond Orwellian ... Great work as always my friend @v4vapid
