@Snode double post

SO WHAT! WHO CARES! WHAT'S IN IT FOR ME! there's enough of us to have that in common. If we don't like the answer throw fruit, throw bottles, throw rocks until they say something we want to hear.

@divineorder I admit to not reading the entire transcript previously. The quotation in the video is only a small portion of this eloquent fallacious exercise in platitudinous deception, half-truths, and outright lies, distortions and omissions. Perhaps I will parse the flowery verbiage, trimming back the pretty flowers to reveal the ugly, sadistic thorns and spikes deeply within, constructing a bocage of obfuscation.

You are too kind to denominate Hussein as merely an empty suit, but I do agree with the appellation "POS".

was linked in this guy's blog. Have no idea who he is but looks like he writes like a wingnut. At any rate he has the link to the full speech.

So I went on the whitehouse.gov website and typed the words “Obama Brussels Belgium speech” in the search bar.

Among the links that popped up was one to a speech the POS gave on March 26, 2014, to European youth at the Palais des Beaux Arts in Brussels, Belgium. Click here for the transcript of the speech.

As I had suspected, the purported NWO video snippet was taken entirely out of context, as shown in the three paragraphs I excerpted from Obama’s March 26, 2014 speech (see below). The words in the very misleading video snippet are colored red.

Leaders and dignitaries of the European Union; representatives of our NATO Alliance; distinguished guests: We meet here at a moment of testing for Europe and the United States, and for the international order that we have worked for generations to build.

Throughout human history, societies have grappled with fundamental questions of how to organize themselves, the proper relationship between the individual and the state, the best means to resolve inevitable conflicts between states. And it was here in Europe, through centuries of struggle — through war and Enlightenment, repression and revolution — that a particular set of ideals began to emerge: The belief that through conscience and free will, each of us has the right to live as we choose. The belief that power is derived from the consent of the governed, and that laws and institutions should be established to protect that understanding. And those ideas eventually inspired a band of colonialists across an ocean, and they wrote them into the founding documents that still guide America today, including the simple truth that all men — and women — are created equal.

But those ideals have also been tested — here in Europe and around the world. Those ideals have often been threatened by an older, more traditional view of power. This alternative vision argues that ordinary men and women are too small-minded to govern their own affairs, that order and progress can only come when individuals surrender their rights to an all-powerful sovereign. Often, this alternative vision roots itself in the notion that by virtue of race or faith or ethnicity, some are inherently superior to others, and that individual identity must be defined by “us” versus “them,” or that national greatness must flow not by what a people stand for, but by what they are against.

I’m the last person to defend Obama the POS. But to take his words out of context so as to portray him as having publicly and brazenly declared a New World Order is being deceptive. Doing so just makes us look devious, and the people who swallowed it hook, line, and sinker look stupid.

@Mark from Queens and congratulations about your youngin. I am through with diaper duty after rising 4 kids--I actually did do that when not grinding out a living.

It is true that Lionel has RW tendencies as you correctly explain. Is the commentary to his videos or any other videographer indicative of underlying viewpoints? Yes, to a great extent this is true. But one must make use of others whose opinions often diverge from ours. Make allies when suitable--to not do so will freeze the purists into impotent, powerless poseurs of ideology over practicality. Temporary alliances with anti-war Libertarians, for instance, is useful. When it comes to union-busting, I firmly disagree with the so-called "right to work" Libertarian philosophy.

I do consult RW sites to see what they are saying, often informative, sometimes misleading. We, here at c99 have an unusual mix of intelligent commentary, some of it rough-edged indeed. If we had a YouTube site, which I am NOT proposing, it would be interesting to read what the commentary from a larger audience might reveal.

Now don't get me wrong. We're going to have imperfect allies. He wants to destroy both parties too.

But too often I find you go for folks who may temporarily have an epiphany, but who are overwhelmingly RW in their essence. In other words when it comes down it they'll run right back to their warped indoctrination and away from where we're coming from.

Like Rand or Ron Paul or any other comfortable, older, white Libertarian, he's right maybe 15% of the time. But basically I don't feel like he's the kind of guy who's going to be gelling at a place like C99. His diatribes are littered with telltale signs i.e. Soros, tryanny, The Constitution, Constitutional Republic, etc.

I'd prefer if we'd be a little more discerning with guys like this. I sure as hell don't think he really understands someone like Ocasio. He's never going to get it, in particular doesn't even have a clue to what socialism is. He only likes her/this insofar as it it challenges the "Deep State," as he titles his video.

And the folks he attracts. Compare the comments there, with that of the Jimmy Dore Show, Tim Black, The Rational National, or any other website like Truthdig, Common Dreams, RSN, etc - and it's completely revelatory.

Here's a sampling:

The dems are grooming this cortez chick...they need something attractive to make communism look attractive...they know people are retarded.

Another deep state commie NOT to elect to Congress

Sounds like a Soros backed candidate. Like jumping from the frying pan into the fire. I was born in New York- and couldn’t leave fast enough.

"Community Organizers" - A fancy word for Communists - Why don't they just say it?

She wants open borders and to stop ICE

Hussein in skirt.

Democrat = Socialist = Marxist = Communist = Progressive = Liberal. No difference.

The knuckle-draggers to which he appeals says something. Most or half of them are probably not reachable.

Otherwise, good to see you. And like you I pop in to read multiple times a day. But I'm balancing a 9 month old on my lap just to get this off my chest.

I'll also say the Ocasio victory was pretty staggeringly amazing, and has big ramifications. Can't elaborate as much as I'd like now (but started to put something together yesterday).

May go to a local DSA celebration of Ocasio volunteers in Elmhurst, Queens tonight just because I'd love to be around and inspired by these local ragtag motherfuckers who just pummeled the Democratic Party.

@Big Al Perhps when the Never Trumpers are reduced in numbers, we might have something to say bout fellows like Jim Jordan, Devin Nunes, Mark Meadows, etc. Ryan's on his way out, so why waste time on him. We still can write stuff about McConnell, the turtle-faced Senate chief obstructionist, and also Never Trumper, who is famous for obstructing his own alleged party's agenda--ensuring that NOTHING gets done (except to enrich himself).

republican party leadership/establishment.
