It will cost you 50,000 M$ points.

yea im going,hopefully it will be great because i didn’t pay 10,000 for nothing

@ravinshield

Pay 10,000 for what??

????

Funny, I just watched an episode of CSI: NY titled “Admissions” on Spike that mentioned Photosynth.

I’ll be there! I would love to participate in the Photosynth, maybe we can get the whole parade route.

What does this have to do with XBox?

@UnHoly One

I heard hotels in the central DC area were renting out their rooms for the period at ridiculous rates. Not sure about as high as 10,000.

I am incredibly excited to be going to an inauguration. Until now they haven’t really been appealing to me – but this time around I hope Obama will do a good job.

Please don’t let us down in the next 4 years Mr. Obama.

wow.

10,000 dollars just to see him sworn into office?

unbelievable…

Although… I would gladly pay that much to see him removed from office, so I can’t say much.

This has nothing to do with Xbox and not everyone here is from the United States or cares and not everyone likes Obama. Why didn’t you post how Team PlayStation kicked our asses at CES 2009?

don’t do work for these schmucks for free. when Major says this is your chance to “capture the moment for us all to enjoy”, he really means “do the work that would otherwise cost us several $100k for free”.

@Anon 3: Nothing, why does it matter? This is really cool, I can’t wait to see the end result.

Tecviruss: this is a blog about XBox 360 updates and other related stuff with 360. This ‘update’ is entirely off-topic and stupid.

This is my blog where I blog about Xbox 360 and other tech items I think are interesting

http://majornelson.com/about.aspx

@ Anon5 OMG the Blog owner went off topic for something that he is interested in. Stop the presses.

Nothing stupid about it at all.
Can’t wait for the 20th, it’s like xmas all over again!

I’m so sorry you have to deal with people like this, Major.

I seriously cringe every time I see such ignorant comments.

I’d go if I cared to be crowded by DC people, fellow Marylanders, and other people from out of state. But I’m not a fan of that. Getting kinda annoying watching the news with everything between that (especially since he’ll be in Bmore tomorrow), an the Ravens/Steelers game.

Major,

I couldn’t disagree with the anonymous guy more. Please post more things like this. Also, I thought that you said that when NXE launched you wouldn’t need to post so many “Marketplace” updates here. I think the blog is still overrun with them. You added a new Marketplace tab at the top, any chance you could only show the Marketplace items there? Or have a “non-marketplace” tab? I remember Engadget did something like this around the time the iPhone launched because every other post was about the iPhone.

Later,

mAdAk

I live in the DC area and have no interest in watching this event. I really don’t understand why people fly from far away just to see it? huh?

maybe if he was playing football and they sold beer and I could gamble on the outcome.. but just him talking? meh… I guess i’ll stay inside since most of the roads will be closed.

@mAdAk Check out http://m.majornelson.com, it’s in beta but it posts pretty much all marketplace content

major keep posting thing like this it adds flavor and variety, i will be unable to attend(cant afford)i will however be their in spirit(watching on tv)God Bless America

Such a big deal being made over the inauguration. Why do so many people insist on leaving racial issues behind and blaming others for these racial issues when they do crap like this and further emphasize racial differences. He is a man. He is another President. Yet because he is black everyone is going crazy. Is this the “equal treatment” that you demand for all races and nationalities. Seems a little contradictory to me. Oh well, people will be people.

My 2 cents, and its true and you know it.

Welcome to the Peoples Republic of America.

Socialism ftw??

I agree with rastansaga.

CNN is always asking for people to submit stuff for FREE and thus saving money off your free work. Also, I’d prefer not to help out the media. Unfair and Really Biased IMHO!

CNN can go back to making reports about their stupid war.

I also not digging the inauguration.

How can the press not be bias? Would you rather them be like some countries where the government itself controls the press entirely?

Free speech, freedom of press.. this all means some news organizations are going to be bias. Deal with it and use your head.

I wonder if any of the bail out money was used for the inauguration…..and just think of all the precious gas thats getting used and what all those emissions will do to the ozone layer….yup

http://www.citmedialaw.org/legal-guide/documenting-2009-presidential-inauguration Read that about what you can and can’t bring and where regarding cameras for the event. Don’t want anyone to lose their camera.

Paying 10,000 seems a bit excessive, especially for an event that is supposed to be open to a broader cross-section of the American public. Nevertheless, if it’s really worth it for some people to pay that kind of money, then who am I to judge?

As for giving CNN free media, why doesn’t everyone collaborate on an independent blog-site that is owned and distributed by the contributing community instead of a large corporate entity? I’m not suggesting that CNN is bad because they’re part of a media corporation, but I am suggesting that the popular blog community can come up with betters ways to distribute their own material.

Let us do this OBAMA!

check this out,I’m listening to Alice in Chains, and i guarantee this dude will do much better than Push did.

Not that I didn’t suspect it after the Prius post; but I’m glad to be able to add someone else onto the list of people who will end up hanging themselves once they wake up and realize what they have done to their country.

who gives a shit your country is ruined anyhow

I wish I could go see it and help celebrate Obama’s inauguration… if it was in southern California, Florida or Texas. But there’s no way I’d freeze my b@lls off in D.C. for it! I hope Obama has a prosperous stay in the White House (even though it’s gonna be rough at first cleaning up the horrible mess Bush left), and screw you to all the pessimistic haters who wish otherwise!

Hey litheon, you had me excited there for a moment when I saw that link. For a split second I thought there was a new mobile version of this site… until I saw right after the link that it’s just for the marketplace. Any chance of a mobile version of this site on the way soon too?

People, they are asking for help, if you don’t wish to submit a photo (a relatively easy thing todo) then dont… but don’t start whining about it, or telling Major what is and isn’t for his own blog. Seriously, if you haven’t something constructive to add, then why bother adding it.

“…who will end up hanging themselves once they wake up and realize what they have done to their country” Seriously??? Oh well… I guess I shouldn’t have expected anything intelligent coming from a Gators fan.

MACPH1ST0, check out http://majornelson.com/m/

Count on you, take good pictures friends !

I like stuff like this, I’m not only a gamer but a tech and gadget freak, too. This should be interesting…

American Politics – LoL

Larry, get off your lazy ass and go do it yourself!

oops…PS doesn’t work on IE8.

Photosynth is awesome. Can’t wait to see the inauguration that way.

I didn’t vote for the guy. I disagree with a number of his policies…but I do wish him the best of luck and I hope he will be a successful President.

Sounds like some of you are madd? You do know you have a Black President?

Race has nothing todo with it in the end, either he performs well or not. All I can be certain of is that McCain would have toppled George Bush jnr. as worst president ever. From what i’ve seen, Obama will bring something new to the table… its called “working”, he has ideas, he brings out the best in a crowd, is well spoken, and instead of waiting until he’s in office to work on his plans he’s already roughing up his first actions. He mightn’t fix America in his first term (some things just take time), but hopefully all of America really put their thinking caps on once that term is done and severly notes his acheivements instead of buying into another Republicans stupid lies or non-essential loose facts that hasn’t the slightest to-do with politics.

^Moron.

Hey Gangsta Grillz, I noticed your gamercard says you’re from South Africa. You do know Apartheid is dead, right?

This has nothing to do with XBox 360 or video games whatsoever.

Why would I want to go to the inauguration? So that I can witness the downfall of our country? No thanks.

Anon 11, you must be one of those… “Deal with it and use your head.”

I wonder if you’d be saying the same thing if the media had decided McCain should have won. Because if they had, you’d better believe he’d be in the inauguration tomorrow.

It’s unfortunate that so many Americans can’t think for themselves, and are merely sheep to be lead by their heroes on the news and in Hollywood. At least an unbiased media would force them to make a real decision, rather than just telling them what to believe and how to vote.

It’s only going to get worse… I fear the change that the almighty obama wants to bring, and you should to. You think thing are bad now do you? Interesting.

Anon 15(who gives a *** your country is ruined anyhow) ill tell who give a *** all American who are tired of the old way of doing thing,the poor starving children in different countries that depend on America for food,and the millions we keep safe.Change has come and you cant get mad at Americans for getting excited

Hey Mac, were we talking about aparthied? I thought we were talking about some upset Euro-Americans? You probably thought you were being clever huh?

With all the hate around these days I’m really glad. Just knowing that my gamerpic is going to represent whats right with america. I’m not changing it until the “New” Obama 2012 gamerpic comes out.

I was just going by the way your original comment read, that’s all.

I won’t be going, but I’ll probably be watching.

Socialism ftw?

I wish I could have an Obama gamertag.

gamerpic.. not THAT MUCH of a fan to have him as my gamertag.

So Larry, this is “your” blog? As in you own it? And it’s not owned by Microsoft? HAha really? ha.

Microsoft doesn’t mind you blogging on your “personal” blog during business hours when they are paying you to “market” Xbox? Seriously? That’s what you’d have people believe? That’s your story?

Besides the fact that “your” blog is 99% “HAY GUYZ BUY THIZ NEW MICROSOFT ITEMZ!!!!1″ and Twitters about you watching soap operas, I’m going to have to call BS.

This blog is so obviously Microsoft marketing- which is not to say that’s a bad thing, but for you to sit here and say it’s “your” blog, inferring that you’re free to discuss what you want is downright insulting.

uhhh….what happened to the Photosynth discussion?

First Silverlight, and now this. Yet another thinly-veiled attempt at trying to get us to install more MS crap on our computers. *sigh*

Maybe the owner will realise why most sites/chats/etc avoid political discussion. You are going to offend people no matter what.

It might be his site, so he can do whatever he wants, but it does not mean it is a good idea.

Wow did things go sideways here. I made this post to discuss the technology at use here…not the political side of things. Let’s lighten up people.

Probably was not the best way to post about it, as it is directly related…

It seems there is a small live outage. Me and some people over at gamefaqs are experiencing.

To be specific about details, I live in Mid-north ohio, use road runner cable, my internet is working fine, i don’t have a ban code, just Xbox Live fails, I was sitting on the dashboard when I got booted off. None of the profiles can connect after multiple reboots and router/modem have been power cycled.

While I feel bad jawing about politics after Major N says that’s not what this is about, I just can’t help it.

Obama is a joke. Not from some insane Rep., but from a guy whose last supported presidential hopeful was Al Gore (before the environmentalist sunk their fangs into his veins). The most crystallizing moment was when watching the new post-election I saw that McCain was spearheading a move to have ALL earmarks publically reviewed and voted upon when Obama was naming more Czars and getting the first 360 Billion together to blow on another failed stimulus; that’s the diff. between the two.

Obama
Insane Pro-Choice (I’m Pro-C but this guy argues that pre-mes should be up for aborting)
Absolute Amnesty (Why the hispnics voted for him instead of McCain who did tons for hispanics in Arizona)
2nd most pocketed money from Fannie-Mae amongst Senators (Number 1 took 25 years to amass this much money, Obama did it in 2)

For the whole list (and for the Obama cult go-ers) I suggest you pick up a copy of THE CASE AGAINST OBAMA

Pretty shitty blog post man. People need to stop making such a big deal about this inauguration. Get the fuck over it, he’s a black President who is a good speaker, besides that he is going to do nothing good for our country. Ridiculous.

Oh, one other thing. This may be your blog, but you are representing MICROSOFT!!! NOT OBAMA!! Don’t try to act like this is some innocent “tech” update, you know what you’re doing. Have someone else spread your propaganda!

Obama is not actually the first black president, he is the first mixed-race president. You hear that? It’s the political correctness police breaking down my door.

OMG,i never thought for once the americans are still living in that age. Major posted about trying to get Photosynth to work on a major huge event, immediately Obama name showed in the process…..it aroused some of their supremacists gene. Is there a way,you can do things without even thinking whether he is black or white.Btw has any of the Bushes (Snr or Jnr) done anything good for the country? Clinton came to clean up the Father’s (Snr) Mess,now its Obama’s turn to clean up the Son’s (Jnr) Mess. They just keep making america go 1 step forward, 4 steps backward.
Gone are the days,when americans arrive at any airport,and they are like we are americans,people just show respect….but these days,dont dont even dare say,if at all they do, the next guy to them will say phuck you….just for u to know how disgraceful the country has been drowned…instead of you appreciating changes,positive ones for the matter….u wont be bothered by that tiny supremacism u hid in ur Medulla Oblongata.
Wake up and lighten up guys, its 2009.

Non-Americans commenting on American politics, in support of Democrats, while bashing Republicans? So what else is new? Apparently not the diversity of viewpoints. I especially enjoyed the lessons on racial tolerance, delivered via South Africa and Germany. How deliciously ironic. As for this Photosynth/CNN thing, it’s pretty clear that doing this “for the rest of us to enjoy” is simply Larry’s incorrect assumption that everybody voted for Obama and thus would find value in this. I guess getting 53% of the popular vote is now a super duper majority, thus 53% = 100% of Americans (AKA “the rest of us”). Seriously, Larry, just admit you’re a Democrat and be done with it. No need to couch your political leanings in posts claiming that it’s about the tech. You won’t have any need to use that as an excuse.

Wow it’s scary how many closet racists are coming out since Obama won. Of course they’ll never admit how terrified they are of a black president, but you never saw this kind of bitter hate when Clinton became president. I had hope that maybe at least Xbox gamers were more intelligent than this, but apparently there are still a lot more backwards people in this country than I thought. *sigh*

@ Anon 24 exactly!

Any non-American commenting on American politics needs to seriously STFU. No one cares what you think.

Tuesday should be a national holiday, it only comes around once every four years, and most school-age children never get to experience such an event. It’s an event, and that’s what Major was posting here…using technology to capture an event in a unique way that will only happen ONCE. There may be more inaugurations in the future, but each one is special and UNIQUE. Capturing it via Photosynth preserves it in a unique way so all can experience it. Sheesh, chill people…

@Anon31, is there a crime being a Democrat….Larry never even mentioned anything concerning Obama,all his endeavour was based on capturing the scene via photosynth,when else are u going to get such a huge mass (people) at a place.
If u are been delivered democracy via S.Africa and Germany,it means u should start thinking how far these countries left their past behind…in which u apparently individually in this case is still dwelling in. I personally dont do politics,but when ppl like you mix entertainment or technology with politics it calls for me to lecture you….i do 1 on 1 (debate) if u care, we can rent a channel on majornelsons irc chat server,so u can express ur view,or should i say……get lectured. Let me know

Madnizz, please close your mouth before you put your foot in it even more. Bush Jr. did nothing for anyone during his presidency? Is that some joke?

Irrefutable fact:George Walker Bush has done more for the African people than nearly all the other POTUS combined

While I hate G.W. Bush’s ability to mix the worst of liberal ideas (more government spending = better economy) with the worst of conservative ones, you’d have to be a tool to believe that he did nothing good over 8 years.
Beyond that, not a single intelligent poster brought up Obama’s race till’ you and the Obama supporters here did. We honestly could care less what his race is, we care that he has horrible policies. That. Is. All.

lmao nice job madnizz! (even if the English was a bit fractured)

Obama haters = PWNED! XD

Am I imagining things, or is someone from Germany trying to tell other countries what’s wrong with them. GERMANY. Of all the countries in the world. Amazing.

Symion, Symion, Symion. You do know that the people who put That Case Against Obama are the same people who thought Falin Palin was a good choice for VP. You’re probably one of those who thinks he’s a muslim too. You and the sites you hold in high regard are the reason “That One” won. I read on a site that some guy with a gaymertag of Symion likes little boys, does that make it true? Please keep thinking your “thinking” so he can repeat in 2012. And as far as your irrefutable fact, he’s donated more money for AIDS prevention than any other president. Hey Anon one drop of black blood makes you black. Black is dominant.

Symion, here’s some REAL irrefutable facts for you: G.W. Bush is going down in history as one of the WORST presidents ever! He has a long list of failed policies, repeatedly stymied scientific advances and policies in favor of the questionable idea of “faith-based initiatives” and has sunk this country into its largest debt ever, just to name a few. And trying to deny it isn’t going to change the facts.

Things are only going to get worse before they get better when trying to dig ourselves out of this hole G.W. Bush has put us in, and people like you trying to condemn our new President before he’s even in office certainly isn’t going to help matters. And THAT is all!

Ok now back to Photosynth…

Wow just look at what this has turned into! Any bets on how many more comments make it through before they’re locked? lmao

@ Symion, that put a smile on my face. i see you said he did more for african people.
all i have to say is:
“count your blessings,name them one by one…….at the end weigh the losses”
guess u are turning this to politics,i’ll rest my case…for anon31,my offer is still on the table…u seem rather creditable than this media-fed Symion.

I love the ones like G. Grillz, they amuse me.

They say that there’s one place you go for exemplary achievement in political corruption: Chicago. Yet, in 2007 Alaska was giving Chicago a run for its money. Who CHANGEd that you ask? Sarah Palin did, yet you never hear that. Or the fact that on you can infact see Russia from an island that’s part of Alaska; or the fact Obama voted yes for the bridge to nowhere and Palin voted no; or the fact that Palin’s church got burned down after the election (yeah, we’re the bigots); or that Obama has less actual experience than Sarah Palin executively (yet he’s up for POTUS and she was up for Vice)

You continue getting your news from SNL and I’ll keep handing out the facts.

Oh and for the whole muslim thing: The Case Against Obama’s author covers all things wrong about Obama, and none does he despise more than that rumor. I find it funny that he takes it as more fluff than you (infact one of the points of the book is condemning smears like that because they allow Obama to side-step his real failures as a candidate for POTUS). So since you and the author share that view why not actually, you know, READ THE BOOK.

Way to go with the little boy reference by the way, really shows where your mind is.

So I’m the one who’s media fed? I love jokes but that one was quite funny. Seeing as many are asking why the media has such a love affair with Obama. Lost all credit with a post like that madnizz. Funny, nothing I’ve said has been countered by a single fact yet….wonder why….

Don’t worry I won’t stop you from showing your ignorance. He voted yes for the 2006 National Appropriations Bill. The same bill John “can’t lift his arms for crap” McCan’t did. Since you don’t seem too intelligent that was a bill covering transportation, housing, and urban development for the next year. And since you already knew this it was the bridge to Gravina Island. And contrary to what you “learned yourself” on them internets she originally supported the Bridge to Gravina Island. Only after the share of Alaska’s financial responsibility rose exponentially she decided to say no to the project. You may want to get your facts from somewhere other than a G.O.P funded website. You’re doing a whole bunch of talking but you’re not saying NOTHING. Who knew people were getting own3d like this on the major’s site, hummm who knew?

In September 2006, during her campaign for Governor, Sarah Palin visited Ketchikan to express her support for the Gravina Island Bridge project. At a public forum, Palin held up a pro-bridge t-shirt designed by a Ketchikan artist, Mary Ida Henrikson. The legend on the shirt was “Nowhere Alaska 99901″, referencing the buzzword of “Bridge to Nowhere” and the primary zip code of Ketchikan.

Photographic proof for you…
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Palin_Nowhere_99901.jpg

own3d? Hardly, I find it fascinating she gets blacklisted for a vote that Obama was all for. Yet she appropriated the funds for other projects while he had little to say about the pork while McCain was fighting against the pork hidden in that bill.

Oh wait, so all three were for the bill at some point yet she’s the only one that caught flack for it? We call that a double standard, but since it’s against Palin I guess it’s okay. Oh and thanks for only furthering my point about the BS people pile on Palin (who supported the bill by word of mouth only and whose every vote on the matter was against it)

If you are arguing with a fool, he’s doing the same.

Please… You got rained on like that little girl in that R kelly video. I’m done with you.

Prove my point against the prejudice against Palin, make a urine reference then run? If this is the best Obama supporters have I see a sad 4 years in the future. Oh and why didn’t you pursue the muslim thing more? Or the pork Obama gets on the side from Fannie? Someone got rained on and it smells like the one claiming to be “gangsta” in a gamertag.

one idiot crying because he got proven to be an idiot while defending an idiot.

symion you’re an idiot, did i mention that?

hey everyone just drop it, symion thinks bush is cool and did more for africa than any other president ever…seriously, a republican, and bush on top of it, did something for africa? wow… i bet everyone in sudan/darfur is very grateful for bush stopping genocide… o wait, he never did shit in africa….

have a good day supporting bush symion.

Gangsta Grillz said, “John “can’t lift his arms for crap” McCan’t…” Man, show some respect. That man is that way because he was tortured. He’s done more for America than you ever will. He’s a war hero. Sadly enough he suffered for ignorant people like you. Have some respect. I didn’t vote for Obama but I sure hope that he has success. Everyone always talks about how there’s so much hate for Obama…even though they’ve been the ones hating Bush for the past 8 years.

I usually don’t leave comments on these things, but as an artist I feel I need to throw in my 2 cents on Photosynth. Anyone deciding to use it should choose carefully because giving up the rights to your work without being compensated is not something that should be done lightly. I have to agree with the others that have spoken out against using it. Protect your work people!

Major Nelson post what YOU want!

Major Nelson this is YOUR blog!!

And to the idiots who bash Obama, I didn’t vote for Bush the past two terms, but I gave him a chance. Can you do the same for Obama?

LawdaddyCO, the only “hate” there’s been for Bush is the fact that he’s had EIGHT years in office to do something with this country, and all he did for the most part was fail miserably. But Obama hasn’t even been officially in office yet, and he’s already being attacked and condemned? Yeah that’s really fair. At least give him a chance first! (to all you Obama haters)

Another Brainwashed dude!

madnizz: “I personally dont do politics,but when ppl like you mix entertainment or technology with politics it calls for me to lecture you…”

Obviously you won’t be giving the same worthless lecture to Larry, he of the tech and politics mixing. You also won’t be giving this lecture to Alec Baldwin, Bruce Springsteen, or the vast majority in the “music” industry or Hollywood. Just lucky old me. But it’s revealing nonetheless to see that people like you are aligned with millionaire and billionaire Democrats, as usual. I, on the other hand, despise politics and ALL politicians. And not coincidently, political groundhogs like yourself. Sure, you don’t do politics…. except just today. And maybe the next time you feel like not doing politics. And the next time after that… Etc.

Well that’s just weak.

For the less intellectually inclined: I said I hated Bush’s politics *facepalm*

I am writing this in the last days of 2008 as I watch with dismay as vast numbers of people across the world, including many who should know better, have been duped by the mind-game called Operation Obama.

Even people with some understanding of the conspiracy have said things like: ‘Well, at least he’s not Bush’ and ‘Well, at least it’s great to see such a new spirit of hope’. No, he’s not Bush – he’s potentially far more dangerous; and what is the use of a spirit of ‘hope’ if it’s based on a lie? In fact, what use is ‘hope’ at all?

Obama’s wife, Michelle, who I wouldn’t trust to tell me the date in a calendar factory, said that ‘everything begins and ends with hope’. Utter nonsense. Hope is a meaningless emotion because its fruits are always in the future and, by definition, never in the NOW.

Hope is like riding a carousel horse; no matter how fast you go you never get closer to the one in front. The idea, however, is to persuade you to stay on the horse, despite the evitable disappointment, in the ‘hope’ that things will change. But they don’t because the very system is designed to prevent it.

That’s the way ‘hope’ is employed by the dastardly and devious – take the crap we are giving you now in the ‘hope’ that things will get better (but we know they won’t). Barack Obama is a purveyor of ‘hope’ because his masters want the people to accept what they are given now in the hope that good times will come.

Just do what we demand, oops, sorry, Barack demands, and in return he’ll inspire you to hope that it is all leading to the Promised Land. It isn’t, but, by the time you realise that, it’s too late.

What terrifies the manipulators is that people will abandon hope, as a future, sometime-never projection, and start to demand fairness, justice and freedom now. To avoid this nightmare they need to keep those desires as something to aspire to, not to actually have.

Thus, their man, Obama, sells ‘hope’ as a diversion technique, a holding position, to keep the masses from truly rebelling. We have no job, no food on the table and our home has been foreclosed, but at least we have ‘hope’. Phew, thank goodness for that.

‘I’m hungry, mum, can I have some hope, please?’

‘I’m so sorry, darling, you can’t have hope today, only tomorrow – hope is always tomorrow.’

‘So will I eat tomorrow, mum?’

‘We can hope so now, dear, but when we get to tomorrow, we can only hope it’s the next day.’

On and on it goes. That’s how ‘hope’ works. Or rather doesn’t.

Obama’s predominant mantra has been ‘change’. Indeed, his massively-funded, record-breaking campaign was based on that one word – change. This is a technique used by Bill Clinton and many others and it is highly effective because, at any point, the system ensures that most people are not happy with the way life is. So, when you don’t like the status quo, ‘change’ can be a potent message, even if, like Obama, you don’t say what it means.

It has been vital to his success, and that of his controllers, that he has never specified what his ‘hope’, ‘change’, and that other mind-control trigger-word, ‘believe’, were referring to in terms of policy and the way society in general will be affected. Hope for what? Change what? Believe in what? To answer those questions with specifics would have been fatal to Obama’s appeal.

I studied the military/government mind-control programmes and techniques in great detail for many years during the late-1990s and across 2000, and the Obama ‘phenomenon’ is the most blatant mass-mind control operation you could wish to see.

At its core the plan has been to make Obama the focus of everything you hope for, believe in and want to change. This is why it has been crucial for him not to specify and detail what is meant by his ‘hope, ‘change’ and ‘believe’.

However, I can tell you what those words mean in the context of the Obama mind-game. They mean whatever you decide they mean or want them to mean. The idea is for you to project all that you stand for onto him and so he becomes the symbol of you and how you see the world. Specifics would destroy that ‘I am whatever you want me to be’ scenario and so you don’t get any detail, just ‘hope’, ‘change’, and ‘believe’.

They don’t want him to be seen only as ‘the Messiah’; they also want him to be Abraham Lincoln, JFK, or Buddha – anyone you choose to project on him, for he is a blank page, blank screen and empty suit. Obama is a make-your-own, do-it-yourself leader, a projection of your own mind. (If you are still asleep, that is. If you are in any way awake, he’s an open book.)

See the video How Obama Got Elected to see how easy it is to manipulate the masses. It’s child’s play. Click here …

‘I am whatever you want me to be, for I am just a projection of you. And I got a big smile, see.’

There is no more powerful way of manipulating people than to tell them what they want to hear and to keep shtum about anything they wouldn’t like. Double-glazing salesmen are trained to pick up in general conversation what their target likes and dislikes and to respond accordingly in the way the product is sold. The technique is simply to tell the potential buyer what you have gleaned they want to be told.

Obama comes from the same stable, but on a massively bigger scale and with a whole network of advisors and controllers steeped in the art of manipulating minds, opinions and actions.

Obama’s written-for-him speeches are not from the heart, but from the autocue. The ‘heart’ bit comes from extensive training and his Bill Clintonesque ability to ‘mean it when he says it’, a state of delivery that goes beyond mere acting. Tony Blair was trained in the same way.

But if you take a step back and look at these people dispassionately you can clearly see the techniques they consciously employ. Blair is the most blatant fraud in the way he delivers a line, stops in mid-sentence for emphasis and looks down for fake emotional effect. Obama is a little more slick, but, from where I have been looking this past year, not much. And how have people not seen those cold eyes just above the painted smile?

You can watch his mind working, turning between autocue screens to his left and right, then straight down the camera for his key messages. From-the-heart orators don’t do that; they are too immersed in what they are feeling and saying to give even a passing thought to where they are looking or how the line is delivered.

I worked in television for more than a decade, often reading autocue while a director spoke in my ear telling me what cameras to look at. I have, since the early 1990s, spoken my truth on public stages across the world. I know, therefore, the difference between artificial autocue delivery and body language and talking from the heart without a script. Obama, I repeat, is coming from the autocue, not the heart.

Obama’s speeches are a mass of mind-control techniques and Neuro-Linguistic-Programming, or NLP, and they are carefully constructed to implant beliefs and perceptions into the mind of the viewer. Click here for a description of his psycho-babble, headed An Examination of Obama’s Use of Hidden Hypnosis Techniques in His Speeches.

As I keep emphasising, the whole Obama circus is an exercise in mass mind control and it has been so successful because so many people live their lives in a permanent state of trance. All of which brings me to the parallels with Nazi Germany, fascist Italy and similar regimes throughout history.

Obama may not look like Hitler, nor sound like Hitler, but the themes are just the same. Germany was in a terrible state economically and militarily in the 1930s in the aftermath of the First World War and the reparations inflicted on the country by the Rothschild/Illuminati-controlled Versailles ‘Peace’ Conference in 1919.

From amid the chaos came the man that Germans saw then in much the same way that so many see Obama today. His name was Adolf Hitler and his oratory and rhetoric, again supported by a ritualistic presentation founded on mind-control techniques, made him appear to be the German ‘messiah’, the German Obama.

Hitler promised ‘change’, ‘hope’ and something to ‘believe in’ amidst the consequences of war and financial collapse. He spoke to vast rallies of adoring followers and a mass movement emerged in support of Hitler’s vision of a new tomorrow.

As the writer Webster Tarpley points out, fascism in its true sense is not just a Police State imposed by a tiny hierarchy. It might end up like that, but first it is brought to power by a mass movement from within the people who have no understanding of what the ‘change’, hope’ and ‘believe’ they are being offered really means. They just know that they want some because, as with Obama, they make it mean what they want it to mean. Only later do they see, to their horror, what they have signed up for.

Obama’s America …

… Hitler’s Germany.

There may seem to be a world of difference, but the techniques are just the same.

Obama is far more dangerous than Bush because he can sell a line to those who are in the trance while Boy Bush could not do that on anything like the same scale. Bush was a transparent idiot with no communication skills who needed massive fraud at the polls to get him officially ‘elected’. He could never be the figurehead to inspire a mass movement of the people to support some vacuous ‘hope’, ‘change’ and ‘believe’ when they don’t even know what those words are supposed to mean.

But Obama clearly can, because he has.

One of ‘his’ (his controllers’) prime targets are the young, just as they were with the Nazis and the Hitler Youth Movement. If you think this parallel is far-fetched then have a look at this video to see how extreme Obama worship has already become for some young people. Hitler Youth was just the same.

In line with this theme, the WorldNetDaily website reported:

‘The official website of President-Elect Barack Obama, Change.gov, originally announced that Obama would “require” all middle school through college students to participate in community service programs; but after a flurry of blogs protested children being drafted into Obama’s proposed youth corps, the website’s wording was softened.

Originally, under the tab “America Serves”, Change.gov read, “President-Elect Obama will expand national service programs like AmeriCorps and Peace Corps and will create a new Classroom Corps to help teachers in under served schools, as well as a new Health Corps, Clean Energy Corps, and Veterans Corps.

“Obama will call on citizens of all ages to serve America, by developing a plan to require 50 hours of community service in middle school and high school and 100 hours of community service in college every year,” the site announced.’

For the full story, click here …

Obama said in a speech in July 2008 in Colorado Springs that he wanted to see a ‘civilian national security force’ that would be as powerful and well-funded as the Marines, Navy and Air Force. As Joseph Farah, founder of WorldNetDaily, wrote:

‘If we’re going to create some kind of national police force as big, powerful and well funded as our combined U.S. military forces, isn’t this rather a big deal? I thought Democrats generally believed the U.S. spent too much on the military.

How is it possible their candidate is seeking to create some kind of massive but secret national police force that will be even bigger than the Army, Navy, Marines and Air Force put together? Is Obama serious about creating some kind of domestic security force bigger and more expensive than that? If not, why did he say it? What did he mean?’

Obama meant, amid the flowery words, that he’s not in favour of either peace or freedom. He is a front-man demagogue for the same force that controlled Boy Bush, Clinton, Father Bush, Reagan, Carter, ad infinitum; but the difference is that he has been hyped to such hysterical proportions that he will be allowed to get away with far more than they were, at least until reality dawns on the mass ranks of his hypnotised supporters. And, clearly, that could take some time.

The cabal will be anxious to squeeze every minute from Obama’s honeymoon period and we can expect to see events move quickly after his inauguration in January.

When I was a journalist 30 years ago, I came across a technique that some tabloid newspaper reporters would use to get someone to speak with them. They would work in pairs with the first one knocking on the door of some distressed family who didn’t want to talk with the media. He would tell them he was from a newspaper he didn’t really work for and treat them with aggression and contempt to make them even more upset.

He would then leave and his colleague would knock on the door, tell them the real newspaper he was from, and act like Mr. Nice Guy. He would say that he understood completely how upsetting the other man must have been, but ‘if you will only speak to me exclusively I will make sure that the other man, nor anyone like him, won’t bother you again’. They usually agreed and the scam was complete.

Much the same thing is happening with regard to Bush and Obama. The Neoconservative ‘Republican’ wing of the Illuminati controlled Bush for eight years and led the country into foreign wars and financial chaos (bad guy/problem); now the ‘Democratic’ wing, led by the infamous Zbigniew Brzezinski, has brought forth the ‘saviour’, Barack Obama, to lead us into the sunshine with ‘hope’ and ‘change’ (good guy/solution).

Hence even some more aware people say: ‘At least he’s not Bush’.

Apart from the unspecified ‘hope, ‘change’ and ‘believe’, few have any idea what Obama’s policies will be. Public perception comes from having an ‘image’ of him, or a self-projection, not the fine print because Obama doesn’t do fine print until the votes are cast and even then he will hide it in his windbag words.

There is an ‘image’ that Obama is against war, but no he’s not. He says he’s against the invasion of Iraq, though we’ll see what he does about that in office. How can a man calling for more troops, including European troops, to be sent to Afghanistan be against war? He has also said he is prepared to bomb Pakistan and use military force to stop Iran building nuclear weapons and he has appointed Hillary ‘Let’s bomb ‘em’ Clinton (Bilderberg Group, Trilateral Commission, Council on Foreign Relations) as Secretary of State and re-appointed Bush’s ‘Let’s bomb ‘em’ Secretary of Defense, Robert Gates (Bilderberg Group, Council on Foreign Relations). So that’s the ‘change we can believe in’, then.

Obama isn’t against war at all and, if his controllers have their way, he will engage the US in even more foreign conflicts with the troops sent to their deaths, and the deaths of their targets, on a wave of oratory from the dark suit with the black face who would never go where he’s sending them.

He claims to be a ‘uniter’, which is exactly what Bush said about himself before he came to office, but unity in and of itself is not the issue. Nazi Germany had unity in the early years of the war, but was that a good thing? What matters is what the unity is designed to achieve and Obama’s much-vaunted ‘unity’ is to ‘inspire’ a mass movement to support the Orwellian plans of the Illuminati.

His constant rhetoric about ‘bringing people together’ can be used to justify the ‘coming together’ of the United States, Canada and Mexico in the North American Union; it can be used to concede America’s sovereignty to the ‘coming together’ of the ‘world community’ (world dictatorship); it can be used to unite the believers in their opposition and condemnation of non-believers, which is precisely what happened in Nazi Germany with the book-burning and violent suppression of those who challenged the Hitler regime.

The potential of Obama Mania is endless when it comes to selling fascism as ‘hope, change’, ‘freedom’ and a ‘New America’, or ‘New World’ [Order].

Bush and Cheney were transparent warmongers and would always have struggled to bring in the draft, the compulsory enlistment of people into the military against their will. But it would not be as difficult for Obama in the current climate. For goodness sake, he’s already talking about compulsory community service for middle school, high school and college students and creating a peoples’ army in America.

That’s why I say Obama is far more dangerous to freedom than Bush. In the last eight years Bush could only get part of the way to fascism – Obama has the potential to finish the job, for all the reasons I have mentioned and more.

You only have to look at the cabal behind Obama, and those he has already appointed to his administration team, to see what his ‘change’ is truly planned to be. His mentor, svengali and main controller is Zbigniew Brzezinski, Jimmy Carter’s National Security Advisor, and the co-founder, with David Rockefeller, of the Illuminati’s Trilateral Commission.

Brzezinski has admitted publicly that he began to fund and train what he would call today ‘terrorists’ in Afghanistan to oppose the Soviet-controlled government in the capital, Kabul, in the late 1970s. The idea, he said, was to entice the Soviet Union to invade Afghanistan to protect the Kabul regime and thus give the rival superpower ‘their Vietnam’. The plan worked at the cost of a million Afghan lives during the Soviet occupation from 1979 to 1989, a consequence that troubles Brzezinski not at all.

Brzezinski’s ‘freedom fighters’ would become known as the ‘Mujahideen’ and later the Taliban and what is claimed to be ‘Al-Qaeda’. This is the man behind ‘anti-war’, Barack Obama. It was common knowledge that President Carter would do nothing involving foreign policy without the okay from Brzezinski, the co-founder of the Trilateral Commission which chose Carter for president.

It is one of many great ironies of the Obama presidency that he is demanding massive troop reinforcements to be sent to Afghanistan to fight the Taliban terrorists who were initially armed, trained and organised by Brzezinski, the man behind Obama. As Morpheus says in The Matrix: ‘Fate, it seems, is not without its sense of irony’.

But then, in Brzezinski’s case, it is not ‘fate’, but cold calculation that has brought it all about. The Poland-born Brzezinski has a fierce hatred of Russia and that is still one of his key targets, together with China.

And if they are Brzezinski’s targets, they are Obama’s targets.

The Trilateral Commission and the wider Brzezinski network, including Illuminati fronts like the Ford Foundation, have now chosen Obama and the situation will be the same. Brzezinski will call the shots; Obama’s job is simply to sell them to the people. This is rather alarming when you think that Brzezinski wants to trigger a war involving Russia and China. ‘Obama’s’ policies come straight from Brzezinski’s books. Here is one Brzezinski quote you might recognise and it was made before Obama ran for president:

‘Needed social reassessment … can be encouraged by deliberate civic education that stresses the notion of service to a higher cause than oneself. As some have occasionally urged, a major step in that direction would be the adoption of an obligatory period of national service for every young adult, perhaps involving a variety of congressionally approved domestic or foreign good works.’

Now where have I heard that before?

As an Illuminati operative, Brzezinski’s aim is to create a world government, central bank, currency and army – a global dictatorship – underpinned by a microchipped population connected to a global computer/satellite system. He wrote a book in 1970, Between Two Ages: America’s Role in the Technetronic Era, in which he described the global society that he and the Illuminati seek to impose:

‘The technetronic era involves the gradual appearance of a more controlled society. Such a society would be dominated by an elite, unrestrained by traditional values. Soon it will be possible to assert almost continuous surveillance over every citizen and maintain up-to-date complete files containing even the most personal information about the citizen. These files will be subject to instantaneous retrieval by the authorities.’

He also said in the same book nearly 40 years ago:

‘Today we are again witnessing the emergence of transnational elites … [Whose] ties cut across national boundaries … It is likely that before long the social elites of most of the more advanced countries will be highly internationalist or globalist in spirit and outlook … The nation-state is gradually yielding its sovereignty … Further progress will require greater American sacrifices. More intensive efforts to shape a new world monetary structure will have to be undertaken, with some consequent risk to the present relatively favorable American position.’

And what does his puppet, Obama, now say that Americans have to do to bring about ‘change’? ‘Make sacrifices’. As Mrs. Demagogue, Michelle, said:

‘We need a different leadership because our souls are broken. We need to be inspired … to make the sacrifices that are needed to push us to a different place.’

You can bet that this will include sacrificing more sovereignty and freedom on the road to the global dictatorship described by Brzezinski for decades.

Brzezinski’s son, Mark, was an ‘advisor’ to the Obama campaign (doing what his father told him) and, in line with the American one-party-state, his other son, Ian, was foreign policy advisor to the McCain campaign (doing what his father told him). His daughter, the Obama-supporting Mika Brzezinski, reported the campaign for MSNBC television.

Obama has been the chosen one for a long time, a fact known only to a few in the deep inner circle, and his relationship with Brzezinski almost certainly goes back to the start of the 1980s when he attended the Ivy League, and big-time Illuminati, Columbia University where Brzezinski was head of the Institute for Communist Affairs. Obama simply will not talk in any detail about this period. He has been covertly funded and supported ever since by the Trilateral Commission and its network of foundations connecting into the Ford Foundation, for whom Obama’s mother worked.

And a question: Does anyone really believe that someone, a ‘man of the people’, would simply appear from apparently nowhere to run the slickest and best-funded presidential campaign in American history? He was chosen long ago by those who wish to enslave the very people that Obama says he wants to ‘set free’.

The sources of Obama funding read like a Wall Street Who’s Who – Goldman Sachs, UBS, Citigroup, Credit Suisse, Deutsche Bank, J.P. Morgan Chase, Morgan Stanley, and so on. No wonder he went back on his pledge to accept the limitations of public funding for his campaign and instead took the no-limit option of ‘private’ funding.

And those people are going to support a candidate who does not represent their best interests?? Oh please.

Obama and his seasoned network of professional manipulators, sorry his ‘campaign team’, sold the lie that he had refused to take funding from ‘lobbyists’, those who are paid to ensure that politicians frame legislation, or block it, in the interests of their clients.

But like everything that surrounds Obama, past and present, it’s a sleight of hand and mouth. They funnelled vast sums of money into the Obama accounts through law firms that represent lobbyists and lobby groups. It provided ‘plausible denial’ about funding from lobbyists while the money poured in from lobby interests via third parties.

Then there is the Jewish financier, George Soros, the multi-billionaire associate of Brzezinski and closely involved with the funding and marketing of Obama. Soros is a former board member of the Illuminati’s Council on Foreign Relations and funds the European Council on Foreign Relations. In short, he is a major insider.

You can certainly see the Soros/Brzezinski techniques in the Obama ‘revolution’ in the United States. It was the complex and secretive network of Soros foundations and organisations, connected to the intelligence agencies of the US and Israel, that trained and funded students in the Ukraine, Georgia and elsewhere in the art of mass protest and overthrowing governments.

These manufactured protests were sold to the world as ‘peoples’ revolutions’, but it just so happened that when they were over and the old regime was removed the new leaders were those waiting in the wings all along – the puppets of Soros, Brzezinski and their associated networks.

Obama is just more of the same, a big smile with strings attached, and controlled completely by the Illuminati networks that chose him, trained him, sold him and provided his record funding. It was they who kept his many skeletons under wraps, like the gay sex and crack cocaine allegations of Larry Sinclair, and they will continue to do so as long as he jumps to their bidding.

Obama is just another Banksters’ moll prostituting himself for fame and power, and that’s why he supported the grotesque bail-out of the banking system and why he will always put their interests before the people. His financial advisors are straight from the Wall Street ‘A’ list, including Paul Adolph Volker (Trilateral Commission, Council on Foreign Relations, Bilderberg Group), the head of the Federal Reserve from 1979 to 1987 and Illuminati to his fingertips.

Obama has made him head of the Economic Recovery Advisory Board, which is dominated by insiders, including its staff director and chief economist, Austan Goolsbee, a close Obama associate from the University of Chicago. Goolsbee is an initiate of the infamous Illuminati Skull and Bones Society at Yale University, which also includes Boy and Father Bush. It was Goolsbee who told the Canadian government not to worry about Obama’s attacks on the economic effects of ‘free trade’ agreements because his words were just to win votes in the election campaign.

Another Wall Street insider, the Zionist Timothy Geithner (Bilderberg Group, Trilateral Commission, Council on Foreign Relations), was appointed by Obama to be his Treasury Secretary. Geithner was the President of the New York Federal Reserve Bank, the most powerful in the private ‘Federal’ Reserve cartel that masquerades as America’s ‘central bank’, and he is a former employee of both the Council on Foreign Relations and the appalling Kissinger Associates.

Obama’s Treasury team locks into the inner circle around the Zionist Robert Rubin, the Director and Senior Counselor of Citigroup, co-chairman of the Council on Foreign Relations, and economic advisor to Obama. Rubin, a member of the Illuminati Bilderberg Group, was the man behind Citigroup’s strategy of expanding its risk in debt markets which forced it to be rescued by taxpayers’ money.

The very people who caused the financial crisis are being appointed by Obama to decide how to respond to it (more taxpayers’ money for them and their friends).

Rubin was Treasury Secretary to Bill Clinton and was followed in that post by Larry Summers (Bilderberg Group, Trilateral Commission, Council on Foreign Relations) – another insider appointed to Obama’s team of ‘change’. Summers is a fanatical supporter of ‘free trade’ (freedom to exploit) and ‘globalisation’ (global dictatorship) and he wrote a memo in 1991, while chief economist to the World Bank, saying that the bank should dump toxic waste in poor countries because the costs of the ensuing ill-health and death would be lower. When the memo was made public, Brazil’s then-Secretary of the Environment, Jose Lutzenburger, told Summers:

‘Your reasoning is perfectly logical but totally insane … Your thoughts [provide] a concrete example of the unbelievable alienation, reductionist thinking, social ruthlessness and the arrogant ignorance of many conventional ‘economists’ concerning the nature of the world we live in … If the World Bank keeps you as vice president it will lose all credibility. To me it would confirm what I often said …the best thing that could happen would be for the Bank to disappear.’

Lutzenburger was dismissed shortly after writing this letter while the horrific Summers was made US Treasury Secretary by Bill Clinton and now he has been appointed to head the National Economic Council by Mr. ‘change’, hope’ and ‘believe’ Obama. It’s all a fairy story.

Bloomberg.com reported that the Center for American Progress (CAP), housed just three blocks from the White House, has become a major source for policy initiatives for the Obama Democratic Party. Who funds the Center for American Progress? George Soros.

It is simply the Neocon Project for the New American Century and the American Enterprise Institute under another name. Those two organisations developed and dictated the Bush policy of war and suppression of freedom and the ‘CAP’ and others like it will do the same for Obama. The CAP will fit and Obama will wear it.

In fact, except in name and rhetoric, there is no difference in theme between the regimes of Bush and Obama. Bush policy was dictated through Illuminati ‘think tanks’ and so is Obama’s.

Bush was surrounded by slavish pursuers of Israeli interests and so is Obama. Mr. ‘Change’ has pledged his unquestioning support for Israel to the point of ‘pass the sick bag’ and his vice-president, Joe Biden (Bilderberg Group, Council on Foreign Relations), is a vehement Zionist who makes a virtue of saying he will support Israel in all circumstances.

Obama has appointed the arch Zionist Rahm Emanuel as his chief of staff and another super Zionist Jew, Dennis Ross, to be his Middle East Policy advisor. God help the Palestinians. Ross also served in the Bill Clinton and Father George Bush administrations. Oh, plenty of ‘change’ there, then.

Rahm Emanuel, a Chicago-born Congressman, is the son of Benjamin M. Emanuel, who was a member of the murderous Jewish terrorist organisation, Irgun, which helped to bomb and terrorise Israel into existence. The Open Secrets website reports that Emanuel was the top House recipient in 2008 for election contributions from ‘hedge funds, private equity firms and the larger securities/investment industry’.

Emanuel was also appointed by Bill Clinton to the board of the mortgage giant Freddie Mac in 2000 and his tenure coincided with a stream of scandals and financial irregularities. It famously had to be bailed out by the taxpayer amid the sub-prime mortgage debacle.

Emanuel, like Obama himself, is an asset of the ‘Illinois Combine’, a cross-party network of politicians and business interests that conspires to manipulate Chicago politics for their own benefit. Even before taking over at the White House Emanuel faced calls for his resignation for alleged connections with the Rod Blagojevich scandal.

In December 2008 Blagojevich, the Illinois governor and associate of Obama, was arrested over a conspiracy involving massive corruption and moves to sell Obama’s Senate seat in Chicago made vacant by his election to the presidency. It is yet another example of the staggering web on ongoing and infamous corruption in Chicago by the very networks that spawned Obama.

A close friend of Rahm Emanuel is another clone of the Illinois Combine, the Zionist, David Axelrod, who ran Obama’s election campaign and will no doubt be highly influential in the Obama administration. Axelrod is a veteran of Chicago politics, one of the most corrupt political systems in the world and he worked for many Chicago mayors in the 1990s and on Obama’s senate campaign in 2004.

Bill Clinton took his Arkansas cabal to Washington when he became president in 1993 and Obama is uploading his Chicago mob and handing them key positions of national power and influence. And these guys don’t take prisoners.

All of this may be many things, none of them pleasant, but ‘change’ it isn’t.

David Axelrod, Obama’s ‘narrator’ and handler. Click here for a background article that needs some reading between the lines …

Obama is a monumental fraud who talks a good story, but lives a very different one. He won his first political office as a state senator in Chicago in 1996, not through the power of his policies, but by coldly abusing the electoral process.

Instead of running against his opponents and letting the people decide, he had his cronies challenge hundreds of names on the nomination papers of his Democratic primary rivals until they were all forced off the ballot by technicalities. He then ran unopposed. One of them, Gha-is Askia, says that Obama’s behaviour belied his image as a champion of the little guy and crusader for voter rights:

‘Why say you’re for a new tomorrow, then do old-style Chicago politics to remove legitimate candidates? He talks about honour and democracy, but what honour is there in getting rid of every other candidate so you can run scot-free? Why not let the people decide?’

Why? Because he would probably have lost and Obama isn’t interested in losing by playing fair. He wants to win by any means necessary. The only voter-right he’s interested in is the right to vote for him. He has also used his hatchet-men like Axelrod to employ scandal to discredit opponents to ensure his election when the real scandal is the truth about Obama himself.

He is a classically corrupt main-chancer spawned from the Chicago political cesspit. His close connections, therefore, to seriously dodgy ‘businessmen’ and fraudsters like the now-jailed slum landlord Tony Rezko are exactly what you would expect.

Rezko, yet another snout in the trough of the Illinois Combine, has heavily funded Obama’s political career and that of the now-arrested Rod Blagojevich, and in return they have supported massive sums being paid to Rezko by Chicago taxpayers to run ‘public housing’.

These properties were then allowed to fall into such a state of danger and disrepair, including sewage running into kitchen sinks, that they were deemed unfit for habitation by the often black poor that Obama was supposed to be representing as a Senator. Some buildings were so bad they had to be demolished.

Rezko also secured appointments for his business associates to state boards and was eventually indicted for using these connections to demand kickbacks from businesses that wanted to do business with the state.

Rezko and Obama toured the $1.6 million mansion in Hyde Park, Chicago, which the Obamas bought at $300,000 below the asking price in 2005 while the Rezkos purchased the adjoining land at the full asking price. Some of this land was later bought by the Obamas. Rezko contributed a quarter of a million dollars to Obama’s political career and served on Obama’s Senate campaign finance committee, which raised more than $14 million.

Then there is Obama’s close association with the terrorists, William Ayers and his wife Bernardine Dohrn. In the late sixties Ayers co-founded the terror organisation called the Weather Underground (also known as the Weathermen and similar derivatives) and launched a campaign of bombing public places like the Pentagon and the Capitol Building. Three members were killed making bombs in Greenwich Village.

In 1970 Ayers was said to have described their philosophy as: ‘Kill all the rich people. Break up their cars and apartments. Bring the revolution home, kill your parents, that’s where it’s really at …’ Mr. Ayers himself comes from the home of ‘rich people’.

Bernardine Dohrn said this about the Charles Manson murders: ‘Dig it! Manson killed those pigs, then they ate dinner in the same room with them, then they shoved a fork into a victim’s stomach.”

William Ayers in 1968.

On the day of 9/11 he told the New York Times that he didn’t regret the Weather Underground bombing campaign and believed they didn’t do enough.

The case against Ayers and Dohrn was thrown out because of then illegal wire-taps and Ayers is now a professor in the College of Education at the University of Illinois at Chicago, holding the titles of Distinguished Professor of Education and Senior University Scholar.

Ayers recruited Obama to serve as chairman on the $100 million Chicago Annenberg Challenge and they worked together for seven years handing out grants to the ‘educational’ projects of people like … William Ayers. They also worked together on another tax-exempt foundation, the Woods Fund in Chicago, which awarded grants to Obama’s own Trinity United Church, home to his controversial pastor, Jeremiah Wright.

Obama’s political career was effectively launched in 1995, just after he was made chairman of the Annenberg Challenge, at a meeting at the Chicago home of … William Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn. They have been connected to his circle ever since if the truth be told.

The Chicago Annenberg Challenge, run by Obama and Ayers, didn’t fund schools directly, but instead insisted that they affiliate with ‘external partners’ who were granted the money. These turned out to be far-left ‘community organisers’ so beloved of Bill Ayers and these groups included the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (or Acorn).

Obama also conducted ‘leadership training’ seminars with Acorn and its members began to become heavily involved in his political campaigns. It has also been behind efforts to ‘register voters’ (voters most likely to vote for Obama) and Nevada state officials raided Acorn’s Las Vegas office after election authorities accused the group of submitting multiple voter registrations with fake and duplicate names.

Among the major funders of Acorn … George Soros.

Obama even refuses to prove that he was born in the United States and thus qualifies to be President. He claims to have been born in Hawaii, but his grandmother, half-brother and half-sister in Kenya all insist he was born there.

‘Mr. Clean’ Obama has a deeply dirty background, but for now no scale of evidence will stop the swooning Obama zombies from believing the hype or burst their reality bubble. That is going to take hard experience and it could take some time and a lot of disappointment before they are released from the clutches of cognitive dissonance and have to admit to themselves they have been had.

It is the same for all the black people who voted for what they thought was the first black president when, in truth, he is a man in a black mask representing the interests of the white-faced Illuminati cabal, the very families and networks that ran the slave trade.

I don’t want to be the bringer of bad news or the thwarter of dreams, but honesty demands it. The man is a trickster controlled by supertricksters. A sock puppet controlled by bigger sock puppets who serve an even greater and darker evil. To his masters, Obama is just a means to an end and if it suits them to assassinate him to trigger civil war and upheaval in the United States then that is what they will do.

Oh dear Oprah, how will you cope when reality dawns? But, then, will it ever??

‘What? You mean you’re not the Lord?’

I can understand the appeal of Obama because people want him to be what he claims to be, but isn’t. They are sick of the conflict, the corruption, the struggle we call ‘life’ and they want it all to change. But Obama’s change is illusory and represents only the continued transformation of society in the image envisaged by Orwell.

We will see some apparently good things announced, like the closing of Guantanamo, to give the impression that Obama means what he says. But keep your eye on the ball and you’ll see how the agenda of the global tyranny is introduced under the guise of Obama’s ‘hope’, ‘change’, ‘believe’, ‘sacrifice’ and ‘coming together’.

It could take two years, maybe much more, before cognitive dissonance (lying to yourself) loses it current grip on the minds of the Obama faithful. Until then they will make endless excuses for him (lie to themselves) to keep the ‘dream’ alive.

But one day they will have to admit, by the power of the evidence before them, that they bought a dream and got a nightmare. What a pity they can’t see the obvious now and save them themselves such painful disappointment.

Symion, you can’t claim intellectual authority in a post that contains *facepalm*. Try again.

@Huntermunkey
I agree also. I’m not a fan of Obama, I voted for Hillary. Why? She’s a minority (female) and she is for health care. WE ALL are going to get old one day, if not in an accident or be diagnosed with some dreaded inconvenient disease(s) or conditions- it is still health related. Hillary also has some EXP and her hubby, Cool Man Clinton could coach and advise. The hindsight has proved many made the right decision over McCain and his winky-winky sidekick Sarah Palin.

Do you know what the Congress is or what part they play? Obama, like previous presidents do not rule like a king. “You’re voting for a terrorist!” was the most ignorant thing Mccain Supporters could say, like America would REALLY vote SERIOUSLY and put a harmful item into power. as long as words like “I’m not a crook.” I think we will be alright. Let’s just wait and see.

I would’ve dropped my life savings to see this Oh well, I’ll be watching from my bed with cottonballs in my mouth thanks to these stupid wisdom teeth

@HighDef Edition
Racism on Xbox Live, hmm, that one is hard. I myself and my friends, Black, White and Spanish have experienced racism. And not ‘real’ racism, more of a ignorant gamer TRYING to act racist by blurting out racist terms. I myself do not take them seriously just as my Spanish friend who experienced such sniped the ignorant Halo 3 player 18 or so times with a single headshot to shut him up. It sucks at times, in UNO, I just mute them, even if they are my partner and the host usually kicks them or I leave.

Hmm, Rosa sat because she was plum tired. We all breathe the same air, eat food, crap and pee it out, why should she move, she was tired and most who’ve been backed into the corner eventually learn to make a stand for themselves and she happened to be black. Good results, right? (Nod “Yes”)

Warrengonline, you’ve already proven yourself on MANY occasions on this site to be a dimwitted rambler, but are you really THAT retarded not to get the whole point of that Rosa quote?

Cant we all just get along!!!!! i mean it MLK day for god sakes weather your American,English,Russian,Spanish,or Australian we can all agree that Video Games kick a$$ i know its off topic but come on people all major wanted to do was get people to use photosynth not a political debate….oh and anon 41 i really hope you copied and pasted cause by the time i read that it’ll be time for the next Inauguration

I’ll be an instant millionaire soon, thanks to President Obama. He’ll cure my dog’s cancer, and he’ll pay off my mortgage, and he’ll swoop around the planet saving lives like a real life Superman. Despite the fact that I’m Taoist and don’t believe in a Messiah, that’s what he is. Obama is the Messiah. I can’t wait to receive his mark.

Har har! Looks like Anon 51 took his/her funny pills this morning!
