    As the US rapidly devolves into a fascist police state, it should be abundantly clear to all but the hopelessly brain dead and fools that both political parties are in cahoots to accelerate our descent into a full fledged banana republic. Unfortunately too many black people remain hopeful (delusional?) President Barack Obama is somehow different from his immediate predecessors, that he will reveal his true mettle, stand up to the Kleptocracy and not sell us out to the corporate and financial elites. Sorry, any notion Obama is a man of courage or that he is on our side went down the toilet when Michigan Senator Carl Levin revealed on the floor of the US Senate during his speech supporting draconian aspects of the recently passed National Defense Authorization Act it was the Obama administration that ordered the wording in the bill that calls for the indefinite military detention of US citizens ! If you doubt what I’m saying go to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PLiKvSz_wX8&eurl=http%3A%2F%2Fsherriequestioningall.blogspot.com%2F2011%2F12%2Fsenator-levin-revealed-it-was-obama-who.html&feature=player_embedded and see it for yourself.
         
Wrap your mind around what Levin is saying, it was the Obama administration that asked the Senate to remove the language that precluded US citizens from being rounded up and detained without trial (in violation of the Fourth and Sixth amendments of the Bill of Rights of the US Constitution). Oddly enough the Senators removed the wording it at the request of the administration?!! What happened to the D.C. grid lock and partisan bickering? Oh I see, when it comes to the police state and supporting the one per cent the Senators are all on one accord.  See what one British newspaper is saying about it all at http://www.ukprogressive.co.uk/op-ed-does-us-senate-commit-treason-with-ndaa-bill/article16137.html.

           Little or nothing is being said about the National Defense Authorization Bill of 2012 in the US mind control apparatus. Unfortunately for us, there is even more alarming news not being reported about what is going on under this Obama administration. A recently leaked document from Kellogg Brown and Root a former subsidiary of the Halliburton Corporation (who got those no bid contracts for the iraq war) revealed they are in the process of executing their government contract to open FEMA detention centers and interment camps and they are looking to hire subcontractors to man the centers! This means the infrastructure is being put in place to detain and hold US citizens. If you doubt what I’m saying go to  http://dprogram.net/2011/12/07/exclusive-government-activating-fema-camps-across-u-s/ and see the  KBR notice for yourself.  Why now, what’s up?  Does the Occupy Wall Street movement pulling the covers off the endemic corruption and collusion between government, the banksters and the corporations have anything to do with the timing of this?
         
As we connect the dots we can see ominous patterns forming as local governments at the behest of the federal government crack down on dissent. The mayor of Oakland Jean Quan admitted during an interview she and eight other mayors were on a teleconference that encouraged a coordinated crack down of the Occupy Wall Street movements, protests, demonstrations in their cities. It was later discovered representatives from the Department of Homeland Security were in on those discussions. Lo and behold the raids all took place at 1 AM in the morning, they all involved local police in full combat riot gear sweeping in, demolishing the camps and confiscating the demonstrators belongings.  During the raids around the country which also included college campuses, peaceful protestors were beaten, pepper sprayed and arrested by riot garbed police and campus security forces. Not one peep out of Eric Holder or Barack Obama about the abuse and mistreatment of US citizens. Obama is supposed to be an authority on the US Constitution.
           
Jon Corzine the former governor and US Senator from  New Jersey and former head of Goldman Sachs took a job as head of MF Global Securities after he left office. Not only did he run it into the ground by sinking money in the European bond markets, MF Global was forced to declare bankruptcy. That’s not all. The firm also commingled their clients’ funds with their own money which resulted in the loss of between 600 million and 1.2 billion in customers funds! Have we seen Corzine in a orange jump suit doing the perp walk in front of cameras for the corporate media? Has Corzine even been charged despite obvious violations, ethical breaches and malfeasance?
           
Where is the SEC, DOJ on this? Why isn’t the government doing anything to investigate this and make Corzine an example? Because the SEC, DOJ, Eric Holder, Obama et al are part of the problem. They are in cahoots with the Kleptocrats. So don’t look for them to do a thing to stop this.  Is MF Global the tip of the iceberg? Will there be more revelations about other missing money. Will other “investment” firms skip off with their client’s money? Keep in mind this is an ongoing bipartisan program of theft and pillage. Undoubtedly some of the "lost" money was pension fund money might have been yours or mine.
           
On September 10, 2001 Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld held a press conference to announce  over 2.3 trillion with a T was unaccounted for in Defense Department funds. If you doubt what I’m saying go to http://www.wanttoknow.info/050310pentagontrillionslost and see for yourself. Has anyone gone to jail for that? Was there a full investigation into that? Oh right, that was the day before 9-11 and everything changed after 9-11. Yes things have changed but have they changed for the better or worse? Add the DOD missing money to the billions for no bid contracts, crony capitalism on the bogus War on Terror AKA Corporate Welfare under the Bu$h regime, and the things going on under Obama; you can see an alarming trend here. Obama came on the set talking about change, has there been any real change? Are you better off under Obama today than you were under Bu$h?  Are you more secure financially? Do you have more trust in the government?
        
How is it that police in riot gear descend on public space and university campuses to brutalize and disrupt peaceful demonstrations protesting against corporate greed, undue political influence and corruption while crooks like Jon Corzine who have run the economy into the abys go Scott Free?! Why are FEMA detention camps/centers being activated? What does this tell you about conditions in the US under Barack Obama? If you are part of the ninety-nine per cent you need to seriously think about this.
