Obama Deception Rebuttal

Bilderberg Group Exposed

2009-05-02T19:18:00.000-04:00

Overview

The Bilderberg Group Exposed is a chilling non-fictitious story about an elite group of people who, since 1954, have been changing the global political arena. This story is not about a conspiracy theory; it’s about a conspiracy fact. This story exposes what this elite group is; who their core members are; who they invite to their annual meetings; their goals; their achievements to date as well as their overall objectives.

Globalism

Globalization is a widely used term that can be defined in a number of different ways. When used in an economic context, it refers to the reduction and removal of barriers between national borders in order to facilitate the flow of goods, capital, services and labor.

Globalization is not a new phenomenon. It began in the late nineteenth century; but its spread slowed during the period from the start of the First World War until the third quarter of the twentieth century. This slowdown can be attributed to the inward looking policies pursued by a number of countries in order to protect their respective industries. However; the pace of globalization picked up rapidly during the fourth quarter of the twentieth century and the European Union (EU) is a realistic example of a regional form of globalism.

The EU is an economic and political union of 27 European member States. It was established by the Treaty of Maastricht on November 1^st, 1993, upon the foundations of the pre-existing European Economic Community. With almost 500 million citizens, the EU member states combined, generate an estimated 30% share (US$16.8 trillion in 2007) of the nominal gross world product.

The EU has developed a single market through a standardized system of laws which apply in all member states, guaranteeing the freedom of movement of people, goods, services and capital. It maintains common policies on trade, agriculture, fisheries, and regional development. Sixteen member states have adopted a common currency, the Euro. It has developed a role in foreign policy, representing its members in the World Trade Organization at G8 summits as well as the United Nations. Twenty-one EU countries are also members of NATO. The EU has developed a role in justice and home affairs, including the abolition of passport controls between many member states which form part of the Schengen Area, which also incorporates some associated European non-EU countries.

The EU operates through a complex hybrid system of intergovernmentalism and supranationalism. In certain areas, it depends upon agreement between the member states. However; it also has supranational bodies, able to make decisions without unanimity between all national governments. Important institutions and bodies of the EU include the European Commission, the European Parliament, the Council of the European Union, the European Council, the European Court of Justice and the European Central Bank. EU citizens elect the Parliament every five years. The EU traces its origins to the European Coal and Steel Community formed among six countries in 1951 and the Treaty of Rome in 1957. Since then the union has grown in size through the accession of new countries, and in addition, new policy areas have been added to the remit of the EU's institutions.

Apart from language, religion and culture, twenty-seven former sovereign countries are now virtually one homogeneous entity. Even though these twenty-seven countries still retain their respective Governments, their power is somewhat limited in so much as the real governance of the European Union is primarily the EU Commission (EUC) based in Brussels, Belgium. Many people believe that a regional globalism such as the EU, is a precursor to a world-wide globalism, commonly referred to as a New World Order.

New World Order (NWO)

In international relations theory, the term "New World Order" refers to a new period of history, evidencing a dramatic paradigm shift in world political thought and the balance of power that could be interpreted as the advent of a cryptoclastic or totalitarian World Government.

At the core of most theories, a powerful and secretive group of globalists is conspiring to eventually rule the World through an autonomous World Government, which would replace sovereign states and other checks and balances in international power struggles. Significant occurrences in politics and business are speculated to be caused by an extremely influential cabal, operating through many front organizations. Numerous historical and current events are seen as steps in an on-going plot to achieve World domination primarily through secret political gatherings and decision-making processes. Social critics have expressed concern that the synthesis of paranoid theories about a New World Order conspiracy, which was once limited to American far-right audiences, has given them mass appeal and enabled them to become commonplace in mass media, thereby inaugurating an unrivaled popular conspiracist culture in the US of the late 20th and early 21st centuries. Some warn that this development may have negative effects on American political life, such as producerist demagogy and moral panic influencing elections as well as domestic and foreign policy.

While we may read or hear that there are covert groups that have already started to gradually take over the World, we are either impervious; don’t believe it or don’t have the political will to confront it. Allow me to present one such group.

Bilderberg Group Overview

The Bilderberg Group was formed in 1954, primarily by the powerful banking families of the Rothschilds and the Rockefellers, along with royal Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands who had strong ties with the Nazi regime. The group meets annually with approximately 130 guests consisting of Europe’s and America’s most wealthy and noble elites from politics, royalty, business, banking, education, media and the military. The overall goal of the group is to bring about a One World Government and global financial system under the political body of a UN style Government controlled by the central banking systems of the Rockefellers and Rothschilds. They are also advocates of aspects of modern eugenics and have plans to eventually reduce the world‘s population by 80%, as called for by the 1974 UN Assessment on Biodiversity. In his own words, on multiple occasions, Prince Philip of England has expressed his desire to ‘cull’ the surplus population. “In the event that I am reincarnated, I would like to return as a deadly virus in order to contribute something to solve overpopulation”.

Bilderberg Key Objectives

Zero-Growth Society. In a post-industrial period, zero growth will be necessary to destroy vestiges of general prosperity. When there is prosperity, there is progress. Prosperity and progress make it impossible to implement repression, and you need repression if you hope to divide society into owners and slaves. The end of prosperity will bring an end to virtually all industrialization except for the computer and service industries. The remaining Canadian and American industries would be exported to poorer countries such as Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, and Nicaragua, where slave labor is cheap. One of the principal objectives of NAFTA will then have been realized.

One International Identity. By empowering International bodies to completely destroy all national identity through subversion from within, they intend to establish one set of universal values. No others will be allowed to flourish in the New World Order society.

Centralized Control of the People. By means of mind control, they plan to direct all humanity to obey their wishes. The blueprint of this plan is chillingly described in Zbigniew Brzezinski's book, Between Two Ages: America's Role in the Technetronic Era (details). He is also an associate of Henry Kissinger and well known for his presentations at several Bilderberg Conferences. He foresees, under the New World Order, no middle class; only rulers and servants.

State of Perpetual Imbalance. Will be artificially achieved by manufacturing crises that will put people under continual duress - physically, mentally, financially and emotionally. Too tired and strung-out to decide their own destinies, populations will be confused and demoralized to the extent that, "faced with too many choices”, apathy on a massive scale will result.

Western Trading Bloc. By expanding NAFTA throughout the Western Hemisphere into Mexico, the US and Canada, a "North American Union" will eventually form and be modeled after the European Union.

One Legal & Enforcement System. The International Court of Justice will become the sole legal system for the World. In addition, as the UN intervenes in more trouble-spots globally (as is the current case in Afghanistan), NATO will increasingly become the UN's World army.

Centralized Control of All Education. One of the reasons for the European Union, the North American Union and the future Asian Union, is to collectively seek greater control of education in general, so as to allow “One World” globalists to sterilize the World's true past. They contend that today's youth is almost completely ignorant of the lessons of history, individual liberties and the meaning of freedom and that this ignorance will only simplify their program.

Bilderberg Achievements

Have conceived and established the European Union as the centerpiece of their global Government plan as well as having established the Euro as the Union’s common and only legal currency.

Bilderberg senior member David Rockefeller, founded the Trilateral Commission in 1973 to foster closer cooperation among core democratic industrialized areas of the world (the European Union; the US; Canada and Japan) with shared leadership responsibilities in the wider International system. Journalist Bill Moyers (PBS) spoke about the power of David Rockefeller in a television documentary, “The Secret Government” in 1980 Details

Have established influential US contacts in virtually all Government, military, academic and business arenas. During the group’s 1991 conference in Germany, a young Bill Clinton met with David Rockefeller who told Clinton why NAFTA was a Bilderberg priority and that the group needed him to support it. The next year, Clinton was elected President and became a strong proponent of NAFTA as was previous US President George H. W. Bush.

Under the previous George W Bush administration, they had already started to advance their goal of a “North American Union”. Globalization has already changed the US economic and political landscape through treaties such as NAFTA and the proposed Security and Prosperity Partnership program (SPP).

Again, under the same Bush administration, the US Patriot Act is a statute that was signed into law on October 26th, 2001. It has been criticized by many for weakening protections of civil liberties, as well as being overbroad in regard to its circumstances of application. In particular, opponents of the law have criticized its authorization of indefinite detentions of immigrants; searches through which law enforcement officers search a home or business without the owner’s or the occupant’s permission or knowledge; the expanded use of National Security Letters, which allows the FBI to search telephone, email and financial records without a court order; and the expanded access of law enforcement agencies to business records, including library and financial records. Since its passage, several legal challenges have been brought against the act, and Federal courts have ruled that a number of provisions are unconstitutional.

Note 1: There have also been 67 high profile people from the US who had attended one meeting between 2000 and 2007 that have been excluded from my list. I tend to give people the benefit of the doubt. It is possible that one-time only guests may have attended simply out of curiosity and do not necessarily espouse the objectives of the Bilderberg group. Furthermore; a guest’s place of work was established when he/she first attended a meeting and may have changed since then. If you are curious about who these 67 people are, refer to Note 2.

Note 2: My source for the “attendees” list, including one-time guests can be found by clicking on: Bilderberg Conference Attendees which lists attendees from all countries by year from 1991 to 2008. I have also created a Lotus spreadsheet that contains the following information:

1. The names & titles of all guests from all countries who have attended Bilderberg meetings between 2007 and 2007 inclusive.

2. Which annual meeting(s) that each guest attended as well as what Companies; Foundations; Organizations and Government sectors that each guest is, or has been a part of.

If you would like a download of the Lotus spreadsheet, simply make a request to: sequel.request@live.com

While I don't have a native Excel version, I am told that Excel can open a Lotus file. If not, perhaps you can convert the Lotus file to Excel; send a copy of your Excel version to the aforementioned email address so that in the future, I can offer both a Lotus and Excel version of this information packed spreadsheet.

A simple question that begs a simple answer

In more than fifty years of meetings that brings together unprecedented power and money at the same time and place, never has any information been leaked out as to what subjects were debated during the Bilderberg Club meetings. How, in God’s name, can this be possible when the Bilderberg group’s elite membership list includes all of the most powerful individuals who run the Planet? What do the world’s most powerful people talk about at these meetings? Any modern democratic system protects the right to privacy; but doesn’t the public have a right to know what their political leaders are talking about when they meet with the wealthiest business leaders of their respective countries? What guarantees do citizens have that the Bilderberg Group isn’t a center for influence trafficking and lobbying if they aren’t allowed to know what their representatives talk about at the Club’s secret gatherings?,

Why do none of the mainstream corporate media outlets consider a gathering of such figures, to be newsworthy when a trip by any one of them on their own makes headline news on TV?

In the United States today, it is a select handful of extremely wealthy families who own the major Media such as ABC, CBS, CNN, NBC, Time magazine, Newsweek, the US News & World Report, the New York Times, the Washington Post, the Los Angeles Times, the Chicago Tribune; - even such regional giants as the New Orleans Times-Picayune, the Miami Herald, the San Diego Herald-Tribune and the list goes on and on.

Why is there no Mainstream Media Coverage?

Why do none of the mainstream corporate media outlets consider a gathering of such figures, to be newsworthy when a trip by any one of them on their own makes headline news on TV? You will note that several members of the mainstream media were in attendance at these meetings; yet, not one word of the Bilderberg meetings hath they spoken. Just look at who attended from US mainstream Medias:

International Herald Tribune: John Vinocur - Senior Correspondent

New York Times: Thomas Friedman - Foreign Affairs Correspondent.

Newsweek International: Fareed Zakaria – Editor.

NBC News: Andrea Mitchell - Chief Foreign Affairs Correspondent.

Rose Communications: Charlie Rose – President

The Economist: Adrian D. Wooldridge - Washington Bureau Chief.

Time Inc.: Norman Pearlstine - Editor-in-Chief.

Wall street Journal: Paul A. Gigot - Editorial Page Editor.

Wall street Journal: Max Boot - Features Editor.

Washington Post: Donald E. Graham - Publisher.

Washington Post: Jim Hoagland - Associate Editor.

Washington Post: Charles Krauthammer - Columnist.

Amazing – Twelve high-profile US Media people and not one word about the Bilderberg meetings that they attended – Why why why?

An Authoritative Expert on the Bilderberg Group

Daniel Esulin is an investigative journalist and is one of the World’s leading experts on the Bilderberg Group. He wrote the True Story of the Bilderberg Group (original title: La Verdadera Historia Del Club Bilderberg), a report on the nature and meetings of the World’s most powerful people. According to Estulin, the ultra-secretive Bilderbergers have been making major and important political, economical and social decisions since their first gathering in 1954. His book was named Non-fiction Book of the year in Canada by the Kingston Eye Opener, and became an international bestseller.

In December 2007, he claimed that he had received information from sources inside the US intelligence community which suggested that people from the highest levels of the US Government were considering an assassination attempt against Congressman Ron Paul, because they felt threatened by his burgeoning popularity as a presidential candidate.

In a recent interview, he stated: My father was a Soviet dissident who fought for freedom of speech and was jailed and tortured by the KGB. We are Russian ex-patriots who were deported from the Soviet Union in 1980 and settled in Canada. After having lived in Canada for 12 years, I moved to Spain where I still reside. My grandfather was a Colonel in the KGB and had been involved in counter-intelligence activities in the 1950s. I will always remember what my grandfather had told me: Most secret service people (KGB, MI6 & CIA) work for the secret service, because they are true patriots and do their work for the love of their respective countries; however, they’re the first ones that are absolutely terrified of the plans of the Bilderberg Group.

Certain US States are already taking Precaution

While not mentioning the Bilderberg group by name, ten states have drafted a proposal requesting the US Congress to withdraw the United States from any activity that seeks to create a North American Union, which as we recall, is one of the key objectives of the Bilderberg group. The following is the South Carolina proposal: Source: South Carolina.

Other states with similar proposals include: Georgia; Illinois; Missouri; Montana; Oregon; South Dakota; Utah; Virginia and Washington.

Judge for yourself if the Bilderberg group is a myth or a reality.

Rebuttal to the film: The Obama Deception

2009-04-17T16:19:00.014-04:00

Introduction

There are several groups that see President Obama as a threat to their respective agendas and most recently, Obama was the target of an Alex Jones film entitled the Obama Deception. I have just viewed the “Obama Deception” film and would like to critique it. Whether I critique a book or a documentary, I first try to gather some background information on the author or producer.

Alexander Emerick Jones (Author & producer of the film) is an American paleoconservative radio talk show host and documentary filmmaker. Without any preconceived bias towards the man, I immediately tagged him as being somewhat on the fringe when I read that he had spearheaded an effort to rebuild the David Koresh-led Branch Davidian compound/church near Waco, Texas. Tragically, Alex Jones has created an empire (both in terms of wealth & followers) for himself by manipulating people through fear and paranoia. To truly understand what I’m referring to, simply listen to one of his talk shows. Alex is constantly talking about the Government spending each and every second of its time listening to our phone conversations, monitoring what TV shows we watch, which websites we log onto, what books we check-out from the public library, and even what roads we drive on. He trumpets this fear and paranoia to such a fevered pitch that he tries to convince people that Big Brother is literally lurking behind every corner. Here’s the cold hard truth: The Government doesn’t care what 99% of the populace is doing, because 99% of Americans aren’t doing anything out of the ordinary. The following is a brief overview of some of Jones’ “expert” guests that appear in the film.

Gerald Celente is a United States trend forecaster, author and CEO of The Trends Research Institute founded in 1980. He is noted for predicting the 1987 stock market crash and the fall of the Soviet Union. However, when one searches through the Internet, there are dozens upon dozens of sites that point out the numerous times that his predictions weren’t even close. His latest prediction is: “By 2012, there will be a revolution in America, food riots, and tax rebellions. In four years, America will become an undeveloped nation. Holidays will be about food rather than gifts. Mass hysteria, dogs and cats living together. Doom and gloom”. Celente is definitely not in the same league as the World renowned futurist, Watts Walker (Time magazine 2006 person of the year).

Webster Griffin Tarpley is an author, journalist, lecturer, and critic of US foreign and domestic policy. Tarpley maintains that the September 11th attacks were engineered by a rogue network of the military industrial complex and intelligence agencies. His writings and speeches describe a model of “false flag” terror operations by a rogue network in the military/intelligence sector working with moles in the private sector and in corporate media. He characterizes such contemporary false flag operations in a historical context stretching back to at least the "gunpowder plot" in England in 1605. Tarpley is a former acolyte of crackpot and convicted felon Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr. who is generally described as a perennial presidential candidate who once said that the Queen of England ran the global drug trade. Tarpley may have left the LaRouche group, but it has not left him.

Richard "Professor Griff" Griffin is an American rapper; spoken word artist, and is a former member of the hip hop group “Public Enemy”. He is also head of the Security of the First World. I would place Professor Griffin’s political knowledge on par with that of Joe the Plumber.

Lawrence Krishna Parker better known by his stage name KRS-One, is an American rapper. Over his career, he has been known by several pseudonyms including "Kris Parker", "The Blastmaster", "The Teacha", and "The Philosopher". At the 2008 BET Awards, KRS-One was the recipient of the Lifetime Achievement Award, for all his work and effort towards the “Stop the Violence Movement” as well as the overall grand pioneer of hip-hop music and culture. Same deal as with Professor Griff.

General Comments

The entire movie could have been condensed to about 40 minutes (instead of its approximate 2 hour run time) and would still have contained all of the allegations presented about Obama. The extra information involves the New World Order Bilderberg group, the Federal Reserve Bank, and interviews with the usual list of experts from Jones' other movies. I will only critique Jones’ attacks on President Obama, given that it was the President’s name, Obama, that garnered so much Internet attention to Jones’ film.

Jones’ basic premise is that all post J.F.K. Presidents of the United States, whether Republican or Democrat, are put into office and subsequently controlled by the Bilderberg group through their ties with the Trilateral Commission and the U.S. Council on Foreign Relations; albeit, Jones does not present any hard evidence of that allegation. For this allegation to be true, one has to seriously question if the entire U.S. voting process is controlled by the Bilderbergers. While it is true that Presidential candidates receive Corporate funding; Media endorsements as well as various Group support (i.e.: Labor unions, Church groups, etc...), it is still ultimately the American voters who elect a President into office. This is especially true of Obama who was not elected by the establishment; but by average American voters crossing all political and demographic lines.

At around the 43:30 minute mark of the film, one of Jones’ cronies, Webster Tarpley, makes a very interesting statement which goes something like this: “This is why Obama was prepared and groomed for a period of over thirty years”. Think about this statement. It would mean that the Bilderbergers approached Obama when he was roughly 18 years old and just about finishing high school. Why in God’s name, would the Bilderbergers approach an 18 year old black teenager who at that time, was no better or worse than the millions of US high school graduates at that time. Furthermore, how would the Bilderbergers even know that Barak Obama existed? I’m trying to remain unbiased; but this allegation smells of pure fabrication and if one fabrication can be made, so can others.

Key Allegations made by Jones against Obama

I will now present some of Alex Jones’ key allegations using green font while my rebuttals will appear in regular font. Key points in my rebuttals that I wish to emphasize are highlighted in dark font.

1. Obama is already pushing to expand the US Department of Defense budget and to station more troops overseas to encircle Russia, China, Iran as well as setting up bases in Africa under the pretext of humanitarian aid and dominate and occupy Africa through the United States Africa Command.

Let’s use “more troops overseas to encircle Russia & China” as an example. I seem to recall an impromptu meeting held between U.S. President Barak Obama and Russian President Dmitry Medvedev at the G-20 2009 summit in London, England just two weeks after the release of Jones’ film. Specifically, Barack Obama and Dmitry Medvedev began talks at the U.S. embassy residence in Regent's Park, central London, aimed at achieving significant nuclear disarmament and reshaping relations between their two countries. In another impromptu meeting between President Barak Obama and Chinese President Hu Jintao, Hu noted after the meeting that the two sides have reached consensus on the orientation of China-U.S. relations in the new era and on the establishment of "China-U.S. Strategic and Economic Dialogues" mechanism. By having made such a major breakthrough with the leaders of Russia and China, does any logical person believe that Obama would be insane enough to completely erase what he had just achieved by going forth and encircling both Russia and China with more troops and more missiles? I tend to put my faith in what I see is happening rather than what someone else wants me to believe.

2. They (referring to Obama) further plan to federalize Healthcare so that the Government can dictate what kind of Healthcare citizens receive modeled after the British system. This includes rationing care as well as what procedures the handicapped and elderly are eligible for.

The following is President Obama’s official position on Healthcare and can be verified at:

http://www.whitehouse.gov/agenda/health_care

On health care reform, the American people are too often offered two extremes; Government-run health care with higher taxes or letting the insurance companies operate without rules. President Obama and Vice President Biden believe both of these extremes are wrong, and that’s why they’ve proposed a plan that strengthens employer coverage, makes insurance companies accountable and ensures patient choice of doctor and care without government interference. The plan provides affordable, accessible health care for all Americans, builds on the existing health care system, and uses existing providers, doctors, and plans. Under the Obama-Biden plan, patients will be able to make health care decisions with their doctors, instead of being blocked by insurance company bureaucrats.

My highlighted points completly contradict Jones' allegations that the Government can dictate what kind of Healthcare citizens receive; their Healthcare rations, as well as what procedures the handicapped and elderly are eligible for.

3. Radically expand federal control over family farms and ranches through the Animal ED and Premises ID system.

The American Veterinary Medical Association testified before the U.S. Congress on animal identification, making the case that a mandatory nationwide program that tracks livestock is the most effective way to minimize the effects of an animal disease outbreak.

The following is Obama’s official position on farmers and can be verified at:

http://www.whitehouse.gov/agenda/rural/

Rural communities face numerous challenges; but also economic opportunities unlike anything we have witnessed in modern history. President Obama and Vice President Biden believe that together, we can ensure a bright future for rural America. They will help family farmers and rural small businesses find profitability in the marketplace and success in the global economy.

Ensure Economic Opportunity for Family Farmers;

a) Strong Safety Net for Family Farmers: Fight for farm programs that provide family farmers with stability and predictability. Implement a $250,000 payment limitation so we help family farmers -- not large corporate agribusiness. Close the loopholes that allow mega farms to get around payment limits.

b) Prevent Anticompetitive Behavior Against Family Farms: Pass a packer ban. When meatpackers own livestock they can manipulate prices and discriminate against independent farmers. Strengthen anti-monopoly laws and strengthen producer protections to ensure independent farmers have fair access to markets, control over their production decisions, and transparency in prices.

c) Regulate CAFOs: Strictly regulate pollution from large factory livestock farms, with fines for those that violate tough standards. Support meaningful local control.

d) Establish Country of Origin Labeling: Implement Country of Origin Labeling so that American producers can distinguish their products from imported ones.

e) Encourage Organic and Local Agriculture: Help organic farmers afford to certify their crops and reform crop insurance to not penalize organic farmers. Promote regional food systems.

f) Encourage Young People to Become Farmers: Establish a new program to identify and train the next generation of farmers. Provide tax incentives to make it easier for new farmers to afford their first farm.

g) Partner with Landowners to Conserve Private Lands: Increase incentives for farmers and private landowners to conduct sustainable agriculture and protect wetlands, grasslands, and forests.

I have thoroughly reviewed the above clauses and cannot find any that remotely suggest that Obama wants to radically expand federal control over family farms and ranches.

4. Accelerate the merger of the United States with Canada and Mexico under the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America Act (S.P.P.).

Because this issue is of such importance, I will state the terms of the S.P.P.:

The S.P.P. is a White House-led initiative among the United States and the two nations it borders – Canada and Mexico – to increase security and to enhance prosperity among the three countries through greater cooperation. The S.P.P. is based on the principle that our prosperity is dependent on our security and recognizes that our three great nations share a belief in freedom, economic opportunity, and strong democratic institutions. The S.P.P. outlines a comprehensive agenda for cooperation among our three countries while respecting the sovereignty and unique cultural heritage of each nation. The S.P.P. provides a vehicle by which the United States, Canada, and Mexico can identify and resolve unnecessary obstacles to trade and it provides a means to improve our response to emergencies and increase security, thus benefiting and protecting Americans.

a) The Canadian Border Services Agency's website states that “The Security and Prosperity Partnership” is a trilateral initiative. There is absolutely no mention that it has been legislated into an Act or Treaty. Site: http://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/menu-eng.html

b) The SPP.Gov website states: The S.P.P. is a dialogue to increase security and enhance prosperity among the three countries. The S.P.P. is not an agreement nor is it a treaty. In fact, no agreement was ever signed. Site: http://www.spp.gov/

From two independent and official sources, one Canadian and one American, there is no evidence to support the claim that the S.P.P. is a signed Act or Treaty. The following is a synopsis of the role of the US Congress:

The United States Congress is the bicameral legislature of the federal government of the United States of America, consisting of two houses, the Senate and the House of Representatives. Both senators and representatives are chosen through direct election.
Article I of the Constitution vests all legislative power in the Congress. The House and Senate are equal partners in the legislative process (legislation cannot be enacted without the consent of both chambers); however, the Constitution grants each chamber some unique powers. The Senate is uniquely empowered to ratify treaties and to approve top presidential appointments. Revenue-raising bills must originate in the House of Representatives, which also has the sole power of impeachment, while the Senate has the sole power to try impeachment cases.

In the film, Jones conveniently forgets to mention that the S.P.P. has never been signed. He also forgets to mention that any major proposed legislation, especially something as important as the S.P.P. proposal would require an act of Congress to be passed.

How, in God’s name, could Jones make a statement that Obama will accelerate the merger of the United States with Canada and Mexico under the S.P.P. when the S.P.P. has never been signed nor would it be likely signed if it actually went for Congressional approval?

Jones is either unaware of these two facts (which I doubt) or he conveniently makes the S.P.P. sound as if it’s a done deal to support his allegation that Obama will accelerate the merger of the United States with Canada and Mexico. This is another classic example of Jones making a seemingly valid statement with absolutely no foundation.

Conclusion: The Obama Deception Film

Jones has created a masterpiece; however, my conclusion is focused on Alex Jones who produced the film.

I tell people that if they want to change the world around them, they need to rise up, be strong, and let their voices be heard. In other words, we’ll never pose a serious threat to the proposed S.P.P. unless we’re organized and active! If the people could unite to elect a President, they could definitely unite again to stop any legislation that would literally remove U.S. borders between Canada and Mexico. Does Jones really believe that both a Congressional and Senatorial majority would actually vote to abolish the sovereignty of the U.S.? This line of thought, on the part of Jones, is taking conspiracy theories to a whole new level.

On the other hand, Jones’ radio show secretes so much fear and paranoia, that it’s a miracle that half his listeners aren’t hiding beneath their beds. His film making style is also designed to instill unhealthy fear. One minute, he injects a dose of Hitler saluting hoards of marching SS soldiers and the next minute, a demonized photo of Obama is flashed.

Then to add credibility to the film, his hand-picked experts come onto the scene and re-amplify, in their own words, the content of the preceding film scene. Moreover, he masterfully projects the image that his paranoia of Obama is shared by a cross section of Americans by using characters such as Gerald Celente right through to Joe Rogan and Professor Griff. He even adds a dab of Wayne Paul for about 10 seconds to further legitimize his film. And like any good film maker, he has several story lines going on at the same time, constantly switching from one to another so as to not get his viewers bored with just the one theme. There’s the Obama story; the Bilderberg story; the Federal Reserve Bank story; the Police state control grid story; the Restriction of free speech story and on and on and on.

Let’s examine Jones’ paranoia to a logical conclusion. If the Government really is monitoring our every move, then they must know where Jones lives, where he works, what car he drives, and where he shops. In this sense, if they really wanted to take him out, don’t you think they’d just do it instead of talking about it? Jones has been doing his show for ten years and no one has snuffed him yet. Don’t you think they would have gotten around to it by now? If these blood-thirsty monsters really wanted to do a hit on somebody, they’d do it without a second thought! What do you think professional assassins do – post a message in the center of town that says, “We’re going to kill Vito Genovese at 12:00 noon on June 4th?” Hell no. They just do the hit, and then it’s over and done. His paranoia, with respect to conspiracy theories is so deeply rooted, that it's tantamount to suffering from Münchausen's syndrome.

The real underlying theme of Jones’ film is his obsessive paranoia of the Bilderberg group that advocates a New World Order, and according to Jones, has controlled all U.S. Presidents (Democrats and Republicans) subsequent to the presidency of J.F.K. I also believe that the Bilderbergers advocate a New World Order; are extremely powerful and pose a potential threat to the United States. The main difference between Jones and I on this issue lies in our degree of concern. Jones is absolutely convinced that the Bilderbergers have already taken control of the US Presidency since the early 60’s while I believe that the Bilderbergers have not yet succeeded. As I have stated previously, I tend to put my faith in what I see is happening rather than what someone else wants me to believe. As one example, Congress has never passed an Act or Treaty that infringes upon the sovereignty of the United States. Jones, on the other hand, has let his paranoia convince himself and those who follow him that the U.S. Presidency is actually controlled by the Bilderbergers. The plain truth is that there is no foreign entity that controls the United States, its Presidency or its Congress. On this extremely important issue, Americans should demand Alex Jones to provide concrete proof of what he is preaching; however, that will never happen, because no such proof exits.

Jones is clever and knew very well that had he entitled his film “the Bilderberg Group Threatens our Country’s Sovereignty”, virtually no one would have viewed his film.

But by attacking President Obama and calling his film the “Obama Deception”, Jones was quite clever in orchestrating a relatively inexpensive way to attract an extremely large Internet audience to view his film. Had John McCain been elected President, he most certainly would have named his film the "McCain Deception”.

For those of us who can see the film for what it really is, it is really not about Obama; but rather using Obama as a vehicle to express his fear about the power of the Bilderberg group. If you recall the scene where Jones and his followers are peering into the cars of guests arriving at the hotel to attend the Bilderberg meeting, guess who is at Jones' side. No one other than Daniel Eustulin, who is the leading authority on the covert Bilderberg group and has also been a guest on Jones' radio talk show.

Jones is doing nothing more than creating an illusion of fear and paranoia so that everyone will buy his “Police State” videos. Remember what I had previously stated: Alex Jones has created an empire both in terms of wealth & followers.

An Alternate Perspective of Obama

Right up until the end, Hillary Clinton was still running ahead of Barak Obama in the polls. But on Tuesday, June 3rd 2008, Illinois Senator Barak Obama surprised the world and won the Democratic Party nomination despite Clinton’s popularity; her gender and the fact that Obama was an Afro-American. Do proponents of the “Obama Deception” believe that the Bilderbergers got to him the next day? That would have been a tall order, given that Obama was virtually busy day & night on the campaign trail until he won the Presidential campaign on Tuesday, November 4th 2008. Did the Bilderbergers get to Obama during the transition period which also kept him busy day & night until he officially took office on Tuesday, January 20th 2009?

Or maybe they really got to him when he had just finished high school.

In 1985, freshly graduated from Columbia University and working for a New York business consultant, Barak Obama decided to become a community organizer. Though he liked the idea, he didn't understand what the job involved, and his inquiries turned up few opportunities.
Then he got a call from Jerry Kellman, an organizer working on Chicago's far South side for a community group based in the churches of the region, an expanse of white, black and Latino blue-collar neighborhoods that were reeling from the steel-mill closings. Kellman was looking for an organizer for the new Developing Communities Project (DCP), which would focus on black city neighborhoods.

Obama, only 24, struck board members as "awesome" and "extremely impressive," and they quickly hired him, at $13,000 a year, plus $2,000 for a car--a beat-up blue Honda Civic, which Obama drove for the next three years organizing more than twenty congregations to change their neighborhoods.

Despite some meaningful victories, the work of Obama--and hundreds of other organizers--did not transform the South side or restore lost industries. But it did change the young man who became the junior Senator from Illinois in 2004, and it provides clues to his worldview as he bade for the Democratic presidential nomination.

"I can't say that we didn't make mistakes nor that I knew what I was doing," Obama recalled three years ago to a boisterous convention of the still-active DCP. "Sometimes I called a meeting, and nobody showed up. Sometimes preachers said, 'Why should I listen to you?' Sometimes we tried to hold politicians accountable, and they didn't show up. I couldn't tell whether I got more out of it than this neighborhood."

But, he continued, "I grew up to be a man, right here, in this area. It's as a consequence of working with this organization and this community that I found my calling. There was something more than making money and getting a fancy degree. The measure of my life would be my public service.”

Isn’t it possible that Obama is who he says he is?
