IN MID-DECEMBER, barely a month after the presidential elections and more than a month before the inauguration, we were in the doghouse with our anti-Bush cohorts for co-authoring “Black Bush Barack? False Flag Frankenstein?“ ¹ In it we argued that what America hoped would be Obamalot might just turn out to be Obamageddon.
A week later Pravda echoed our concerns in its equally provocative “USA needs nuclear explosion to turn world into dictatorship“ ²
“Is the United States going to put dictatorship into effect under the guise of the anti-terrorist struggle? What may trigger another major transformation in 2009? The answer is obvious: another 9/11 in the USA. Most likely, the world will witness a nuclear blast.”
After Obama’s inauguration, his failure to reverse Bush’s quasi-Nazi “Homeland State” reminded observers of the San Francisco Chronicle’s astute op-ed “Rule by fear or rule by law?“ ³
“In 2007, the White House quietly issued National Security Presidential Directive 51 (NSPD-51), to ensure ‘continuity of government’ in the event of what the document vaguely calls a ‘catastrophic emergency.’ Should the president determine that such an emergency has occurred, he and he alone is empowered to do whatever he deems necessary to ensure ‘continuity of government.’ This could include everything from canceling elections to suspending the Constitution to launching a nuclear attack. Congress has yet to hold a single hearing on NSPD-51.”
Obama’s cabinet selections have been alarming. Rahm Emanuel, his chief of staff, was so close to Israeli intelligence that in 1998 Bill Clinton had to dismiss him from the White House staff. Robert Gates, his Bush-appointed Secretary of Defense, will likely abide the Bush “moles” in his department who were recently reported by Seymour Hersh, the Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative journalist. Hersh also reported that Dick Cheney used military personnel in an “executive assassination ring.”
Obama could allay our worst anxieties by fulfilling his one-word campaign promise of change, but he hasn’t done so yet, and we doubt he will. It’s hard to find the anti-war Obama of two years ago in the terror-war Obama of today, or the former constitutional teacher in the current “unitary executive.” His post-inaugural about-face has estranged some of his early supporters. Our co-author Dr. Jim Fetzer, a retired University of Minnesota professor and founder of Scholars for 9/11 Truth, was one of them:
