So where is Obama really coming from? Is a liberal, conservative, or an opportunist who wants to get to the Oval Office by any means necessary, and is he going to ride the symbolism of the Civil Rights Movement to get there.
Sadly, Black people may get a black face in the White House, a few superficial changes may be implemented but it will be business as usual. Barrack has flip flopped and told you that he is going to maintain a residual force in Iraq and will step up the so-call war against the Taliban. He has not uttered a word about Bin Laden or Pakistan, and how about the war lords who run Afganistan and manage the dope trade?
Silence!
The most telling thing is to take a look at the key people around him.
First, James Johnson. The main stream media did not tell you much about Johnson other than the fact that he led John Kerry’s VP search committee. James A. Johnson is a Vice-Chairman of a multi-billion dollar hedge fund and merchant bank, and a business partner of George Soros. Johnson also was the chairman of investment house Lehman Brothers. Johnson is also a member of the Council on Foreign Relations and the Trilateral Commission. Mr. Johnson also serves on the Boards of Directors of The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc., KB Home, Target Corporation, Temple-Inland, Inc., and UnitedHealth Group. He is also a member of the Council on Foreign Relations, the National Museum of African American History and Culture, and the Trilateral Commission. So if a powerful man like Johnson is Vice-Chairman of this investment fund, then who is the Chairman?
Try Frank H. Pearl who is the ultimate Washington insider, the supreme powerbroker. He is the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Perseus. He founded the firm in 1995 and founded Rappahannock Investment Company, the predecessor of Perseus, in 1991. Mr. Pearl has been involved for over 25 years with leveraged acquisitions of operating companies, as well as the acquisition and financing of biotechnology and energy technology investments. Mr. Pearl practiced law in the District of Columbia and New York from 1969 until 1984. In 1984, Mr. Pearl joined Wesray Capital Corporation as a principal and managing director and in that capacity was involved in negotiating, structuring, and supervising numerous successful corporate acquisitions and divestitures. During this period, Mr. Pearl was a principal with substantial responsibility for over a dozen operating companies, including Wilson Sporting Goods, Avis Rent-a-Car, and Western Auto Supply. This is the company logo posted on their web site. perseua_medusa_statue.jpg
Another Vice Chairman of Perseus is Richard C. Holbrooke. Recognze the name? He most recently served as the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, where he was also a member of President Clinton’s cabinet (1999-2001). As Assistant Secretary of State for Europe (1994-1996), he was the chief architect of the 1995 Dayton peace agreement that ended the war in Bosnia. He later served as President Clinton’s Special Envoy to Bosnia and Kosovo and Special Envoy to Cyprus on a pro bono basis while a private citizen. From 1993 to 1994, he was the U.S. Ambassador to Germany.
Finally they are members of the American Friends of the Bilderbergers. The name Bilderberg came from the group’s first meeting place in Holland at the hotel de Bilderberg. Their secret meetings have included most of the top ruling-class players from Western Europe and America. Bilderberg is a symbol of world management by Atlanticist elites. Some observers, particularly those on the Right, feel that it borders on the conspiratorial, while the Left is primarily interested in its implications for what they call power structure research.
The Bilderberg participants from the U.S. are almost always members of the Council on Foreign Relations, and since 1973 Japanese elites have been brought into the fold through a third overlapping group, the Trilateral Commission.” People related to American Friends of Bilderberg: Thomas E. Donilon – director James A. Johnson – member Vernon E. Jordan Jr. – director Henry A. Kissinger – director Jessica Tuchman Mathews – director Richard N. Perle – director David Rockefeller – director James D. Wolfensohn. Oh, these linkages go much deeper. BTW – John McCain is a member!
Obama has extensive links with the African American elite, especially in Chicago. For example, Michelle babysat Jesse Jackson Jr. So the Obamas and the Jacksons are very close friends. The bottom line, do not believe the hype you read in the media. Jesse knew the mic was live! Leaks are made for politcal purposes and talking heads are used to bash other candidate before resigning. In the recent book, Legacy of Ashes, we learned that the CIA was funding Ramparts, a radical magazine published in the 1960s. Disinformation!!
