Torturing for peace

Barak Obama, president of the once glorious United States of America, has been awarded with the Nobel prize for Peace. The magic negro strikes again. A Republican commented that Obama got this prize for his 'awesomeness', and, besides any more sinister explanations, this seems like the main motivation.

So what has Obama done (besides being awesome, especially as a speaker) to deserve this honour? Nothing. What has he done to make this peace prize one of cruelest farces of the 21st century? Heaps.

The US continues to have military bases in nearly 100 foreign countries (no blame for Obama here, just establish the warlord status). The US has invaded two countries in the 21st contury (no blame here either for Obama), and continues to occupy them, and has no plan to pay reparations for the damages done to these countries. O, I nearly forgot about the covert war in Pakistan... The Bush administration systematically used torture and deployed legislation with a spirit that predates the Dark Middle Ages, and Obama continues to run torture camps like Guantanamo Bay, Bagram and Abu Ghraib.

So what makes someone who talks about change but continues a system of injustice, war and violence worthy of receiving the Nobel Prize for Peace? That he didn't 'officially' invade another country in his first year as POTUS, although the US foreign policy of this millenium has killed and displaced millions of people, but that he kept the US invasion in northern Pakistan under cover? That he kept the peace with the global banking crooks by paying billions of dollar as bailout ransom?

It's kind of cynical that the most belligerent part of nations (the 'western' cultures) nominate a 'peace' prize. Violence has replaced diplomacy, reason vanished
from international politics, paranoid angst dominates. At least the lies that led to the invasion of Iraq are in the public domain now, yet this has not changed anything about the attitude towards the bizarre status quo.

I got it now. Obma deserves the peace prize because he brings peace of mind. When I close my eyes and listen to his reassuring, dynamic, charismatic voice, and just believe what I hear, beautiful images emerges. The cries of pain, desperation, humiliation of tortured souls in US prison camps get muted, the blood soaked soil fertilized a colourful field of wild flowers, the bomb aatacks, fighter strikes and skirmishes become part of a Bruce Willis movie, without a screen to be even recognised, the stench of carbit, blood and rotten flesh transforms into the joyous smell of freedom and democracy. That's it. Obama brought peace of mind to those who are blind to facts.

Man, I'm glad that I took some time to vent my anger about this bit of news. I mean, without thinking about it at a deeper level I could have gotten stuck with my anger, instead of discovering the evil geniality in this nomination. It's all a show, and global politics reflects the assumptions of our dominators.

Shortly after this millenium began, the US went on a global rampage to sponsor their war industry and to secure energy supplies. The ignorance towards international law and human rights wss demonstrated by creating a legislation that would have made Nazi Germany proud: Rendition, Military Commissions Act, sub-human terror suspects, torture instruction devised by higher parts of the administration.

The trouble is, history has yet to uncover the role of the US military-industrial complex as muscle for global corporatism. While the US empire reigns, only communists, islamists, conspirologists and other forms of terrorists dare to interpret world events in this way. More than million dead Iraqis, health professionals supervising torture techniques in camps banned from UN inspection, US military fighting in Pakistan are presented as inevitable byproducts. Temporary insanity.

Propaganda has reached the global stage. Countries act only as umbrella for global corporatism. International cooperation allowed for centuries, if not millenia to circumvent undesirable local conditions. Dyncorp, Halliburton, Blackwater and the likes have sponsored both sides of the political game, as long as the wars go on, their revenues continue to grow. The corporate monster identifies a target, and then gangs up on them, often led by the US or Israel. Global media ties allow to delude the population of the gang member countries (coalition of the willing, eg) with similar bullshit.

That's how the GFC happened. Each country needed their 'own' ways to pay the ransom money, and how to justify this blatant redistribution of taxes. Picture this: A skinny, heroin addicted street hooker (the economy). Her pimp (the global banking industry) gambled the money for her heroin away, Economy trembles and shakes from the withdrawal and attracts less business. Not enough for the next shot, a seemingly vicious cycle. But no pimp is a loner, and so he asks his friends (heads of national governments) for help. Can't you give me some money for dope from your taxpayers? I can't use her in that state! You're doing something for her health. That's how you can sell it to your sheeple.

With more heroin pulsing through her veins, Economy can stand on her feet again. ALthough still jittery, her skilled hands bring her regular customers (the global-in-local-in-global markets) up. The Market's cum spurts into the media, mystified by newspeak. The stimulus packet has revived the market.

O my Ganesh, another good reason for Obama's peace prize. That was his birth as magickal negro, 'solving the financial crisis'. Do torture camps and wars in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan really matter in comparison?

War is peace. That's our dominators attitude, and that's why warlord Obama got the Nobel prize for Peace.
