Supporters of President Barack Obama often say that he is a "deep" thinker, but, how deep a thinker is he when he has failed to look into the crimes and human rights violations that occurred under the Bush administration? Normally, deep thinkers look into the dark past of their society, not avoid it, because they know that you can't move forward without facing the past first. Dealing with the shadows can be a healing process if done right. Nations, like individuals, experience trauma and dark days, and covering them up only makes the problems worse.
Obama decided to "look forward, not backward," a decision that was more than an error in judgment. It was an act of treason and betrayal. America needed a Lincoln, or a King, but instead it got a two-faced con artist. There is nothing "deep" about Obama's intellect. A deep thinker doesn't keep his country in hell but leads it towards purgatory. A deep thinker doesn't need a teleprompter to speak his/her mind. I'm not even sure that Obama has an independent mind. Neither did Bush, Clinton, or Reagan. As President of the world's only superpower, these men have spoken not their own thoughts, but officialdom's thoughts. Obama, Bush, Clinton, and Reagan are not leaders in any sense of the term.
Obama, like Bush, is little brother, not Big Brother. But they're not innocent little followers, either. Obama, also like Bush, has a lot of blood on his hands. Instead of bringing members of the Bush administration to justice for torture, secret arrests, unlawful detention, war crimes, state terrorism, and treason, and introducing reforms that address the failures of the U.S. justice system and banking system, Obama has continued Bush's most undemocratic and treasonous policies.
Moving forward, the American people must face their shadowy past with or without their current national leaders. The biggest shadow in America that must be faced is America's shadow state.
America's shadow state wasn't built in a day. It has operated behind the veil of democracy for more than six decades, and perhaps even longer. Professor and author Peter Dale Scott says in his article, "9/11, Deep State Violence and the Hope of Internet Politics," that "there has existed, at least since World War Two if not earlier, an analogous American deep state, also combining intelligence officials with elements from the drug-trafficking underworld." Defining the deep state is difficult, but not impossible. Scott says the term deep state "is used to refer to a closed network said to be more powerful than the public state. The deep state engages and false-flag violence, is organized by the military and intelligence apparatus, and involves their links to organized crime." He has expanded on this definition, and developed his insights in his many books, and articles. In his article, "The Doomsday Project, Deep Events, and the Shrinking of American Democracy," Scott writes:
We are conditioned to think that the open institutions of American governance could not possibly provide a milieu for plots like 9/11 against public order. But since World War Two covert U.S. agencies like the CIA have helped create an alternative world where power is exercised with minimal oversight, often at odds with public agencies’ proclaimed policy objectives of law and order, and often in conjunction with lawless and even criminal foreign and domestic elements.
America's deep state triggered the 9/11 attacks in order to advance its interests at home and abroad. The 9/11 attacks allowed the deep state to go even deeper, launched new trillion-dollar wars, and justified the curtailment of American freedoms under the cover of fighting terrorism.
Scott says that what happened on 9/11 wasn't a takeover of America's constitutional republic, because the takeover had already occurred decades before. Rather, the final nail in the coffin was drilled in by the Bush administration. Ten years later, the Obama administration is applying sandpaper to smooth out the edges, and prepare the way for America's funeral.
