Jump To Comment: 2 1When I read this succinct, stinging description 'Obama was a silver-tongued nasty psychopathic snake' who served corporate and military industrial interests etc, I winced somewhat. Nevertheless, I have to agree that Obama talked nice and exercised executive power in pursuit of lethal interests globally. I think Hillary Clinton would have done the same if she had been elected. So as an observer in Ireland I rooted emotionally for neither Trump nor Clinton, not that my personal emotions could in any way influence the outcome of the US presidential election. No matter what candidate is elected to the White House, there is a permanent machine of hidden government, based in the State Department, the CIA, the Department of Trade and other branches of what we call the civil service i.e. the silent permanent government that can change a few things here and there according to directives from the current administration; but continually operates right-of-centre economic and social policies that don't upset the rule of corporations and other interests that dominate society.
We in Ireland need to be aware that mainstream politicians make speeches and laws about 'equality', pluralism and other nice-sounding buzzwords - the mainstream media too, notably Independent Newspapers, always a bastion of conservative economic systems. When it comes to crunch issues affecting daily living standards of the poor and the precarious-incomed, you can be sure that Independent Newspapers, the Tirish Himes and the talking heads on radio and TV will rally to conservative interests nationally and internationally. Don't be kidded when they seem to say the right-on things about abortion, gay rights, ethnic fairness and the rest of it. Plus ca change... rien ne change.

Soros lost 25 million backing Hillary clinton and a reported near 1 billion shortiong the market after Trump won.
It's nice too see the PC brigade so energised and out on the streets protesting a silly event like the inauguration
after 8 years ignoring every horror and atrocity implemented by Obama
Libya
Ukraine
Arming ISIS in Syria
Drone warfare
The Snowden revelations
arming the Saudis to bomb Yemen
not closing Guantanamo like he promised
renewing the cold war with Russia
etc etc
Trump is certainly a bit of a fool, and not liked much by either the elites or the MSM, but Obama was a silver tongued nasty psychopathic snake who served empire and corporates and financial terrorists well (which explains their huge funding of his campaign) while throwing the black community and the poor under the bus and being at war every single day of his presidency, all while getting a free pass from the PC left who didn't want to be seen protesting a black president as that might be construed as being racist.
