An old trick of the PR industry created by Edward Bernays who took the
suffragettes' "vote, baby, vote" and turned it into "smoke, baby, smoke" for
the benefit of American tobacco companies who paid him well. Like the fake
activists Bernays planted in NYC protests marches who were paid to march and
suddenly light up cigarettes, Obama is a shill. Bernays was able to free women
to publicly smoke. As a result my mother was smoking at age 14 and lit up a
minute before she succumbed to lung cancer 70 years later.
Obama is a corporate plant whose function is to foster corporate agenda within
a hopeful progressive ("progressive" because he's black and most Americans
don't think deeper than skin and screen) context.
Ralph Nader was absolutely correct when he said on the night of Obama's
inauguration that Obama had to decide whether to be Uncle Sam for the people or
Uncle Tom for the corporations. Of course it's obvious today which function
Obama chose. And as usual Nader goes unacknowledged and the corporations head
toward even larger calamities.
Bernays lives! In Hill and Knowlton, the CIA, the FBI's Cointelpro and in
thousands of other corporate flack mills.
