Obama and The End Of Utopia

by Arthur Foxake


Speaking in Greece on his valedictory trip to Europe as president, Barack Obama sang the same old tunes, diversity, multiculturalism,  redistribution of wealth, globalism and the ending of national sovereignty. He also lashed out at the anti - elite mood that carried the brexit vote in the UK,  carries Trump to victory in the US Presidential election and has driven the rise of anti - EU, anti - globalism political parties across Europe.
“(W)e are going to have to guard against a rise in a crude form of nationalism, or ethnic identity, or tribalism that is built around an ‘us’ and a ‘them’ …

“(T)he future of humanity and the future of the world is going to be defined by what we have in common, as opposed to those things that separate us and ultimately lead us into conflict.”
It did not go down well with the Greeks, perhaps the greatest victims to date of the folly of globalism and multiculturalism.

That the world’s great proponent of  multiculturalism, diversity, human rights and the kind of equality that makes some of the animals more equal than others to steal a phrase from George Orwell, envisions an even more multicultural, multiethnic, multiracial America and Europe, with more jobs and money going to third world countries and more uneducated, illiterate third world peasants coming to the developed nations is not news. This kind of ideological idiocy has been the theme of his presidency.

But in this day of Brexit and president-elect Donald Trump new questions arise. Is Obama’s vision of a single global nation with people of all colours, races and religions joining hands and singing Kumbaya a utopian myth? Have leaders like him and Angela Merkel, David Cameron and Francoise Hollande lost touch with reality?

“Crude nationalism,” as Obama said, the mindset of 'my tribe right or wrong' did mark the bloodiest follies of that bloodiest of centuries, the 20th. But a more subtle and considered type of nationalism has also proven to be among mankind’s most powerful, beneficial and enduring forces.

A few months ago, when the Brexit campaign was in full swing I saw a university brainwashed, left wing special snowflake wailing that nationalism was Naziism and what we needed was more socialism and human rights. After pointing out that the Nazis were socialists, National Socialists, I asked this person if she thought people like Gandhi, Guiseppe Garibaldi, Eammon De Valera, Michael Collins, Nelson Mandela, Charles De Gaulle (who, for the historically challenged led the French resistance to Naziism in World War 2), Alexander Dubcek, Alec Salmond, Alex Tsipras, Chang Kai Shek and Fidel Castro were all Nazis because all were (or are) nationalists.

She told me I am a bigot. When you put an intelligent and well thought out answer to a leftie, just don't expect an intelligent response.


You cannot wish nationalism away. To do that is to deny evolution, history, human nature and the transparent evidence of one’s own eyes. Ironically the people who scream most loudly against nationalism are the ones who would  shout 'heretics, burn them' if any of my American christian friends questioned evolution to put forward an argument for creationism or intelligent design.

Nationalism dismantled the the Soviet Union, Ronald Reagan’s “evil empire”, liberating Poles, Czechs, Slovaks, Hungarians, Romanians and Bulgarians to choose their own governments and map their own destiny. Was that so terrible for mankind?
 
Nationalism brought down the Berlin Wall and led to reunification of the German people after 45 years of separation and the police state Government of the socialist and comically misnamed German Democratic Republic.

As I write, nations around the world are resorting to nationalism to combat the dark forces  of globalism and corporate capitalism. Surely I was not the only one to work out that baack Hussein Obama was the coffee boy of global capitaism.

What values and ideals do the orinary citizens of the western democracies have in common with the corporate / political / academic / media elite when Obama can speak in Germany of “darker forces” opposing his trade policies TPP and TTIP, both of which would have given corporate lawyers the power to overrule the laws of sovereign nations while Obama's 'anointed' successor Hillary Clinton calls Trump supporters “racist, sexist, xenophobic, homophobic, Islamophobic … bigots.”

If more multicultural, multiethnic societies produce greater unity and comity, why have politics become so partisan and poisonous? Why are police forces in Europe and the USA fighting street battles on a daily basis with migrant and resitent ethnic minorities. The Brexit vote was partly due to concern about uncontrolled immigration, Trump’s victory is due in part to his stand for securing the U.S. border against foreigners walking in. Merkel is in trouble in Germany because she brought in almost a million Muslim refugees from Syria. Civil unrest in France is largely due to demands from Islamic communities that the French giive up certain long established traditions because they are 'insulting to Islam'.
But the nationalist parties that have arisen across Europe, and the Trump supporters in the USA are not propelled solely by hostility to more immigration from the Third World. There has been a move led by globalists to transfer sovereign powers from democratically elected governments to supra - national bureaucracies. And the people have decided that democracy, no matter how flawed the local versions may be, is better than being ruled by unelected bureaucrats appointed by the global elite.

Dystopian Fiction Becomes Political Reality

I have been following the propaganda of the establishment led campaign to keep us in the European Union, the half truths, the scaremongering, the misrepresentations, and this is what it brought to mind.

"In a way, the world-view of the Party imposed itself most successfully on people incapable of understanding it. They could be made to accept the most flagrant violations of reality, because they never fully grasped the enormity of what was demanded of them, and were not sufficiently interested in public events to notice what was happening. By lack of understanding they remained sane. They simply swallowed everything, and what they swallowed did them no harm, because it left no residue behind, just as a grain of corn will pass undigested through the body of a bird."

George Orwell, 1984

Five minutes in Facebook or Twitter should be enough to convince you of the truth of the above paragraph. If it isn't, try reading this article, which though by an American writer is relevant because the same charge towards totalitarianism and The New World Order is going on over the pond too.

The delicious irony is that those people screaming that Donald Trump is a fascist, a racist, the spawn of Satan, are campaigning in support of the totalitarian agenda they claim to loathe. If you really care about freedom, instead of letting the latest batch of Facebook memes do you thinking for you and jumping on the bandwagons with the rest of the sheeple, support the anti establishment candidates for whichever electoral system you are entitled to vote in.

Ignorance Is Strength: European Parliament Ready To clamp Down On Free Speech

by Ian R Thorpe,

"War is peace,
freedom is slavery,
ignorance is strength"

So wrote George Orwell in his dystopian (but eerily prophetic) novel '1984'. Intelegtuals have puzzled over the meaning of these slogans of 'The English Socialist Party' (INGSOC) for decades (find an answer but not THE ANSWER here).

Needless to say the actual meaning is multi layered, but when we recall that under the Big Brother regime of the novel, social control is maintained through technological surveillance and through the powers granted to The Thought Police, then the latest news to leak out of the European Parliament takes on a far more sinister aspect that one would immediately assume.


We have reported the President of the European Parliament (Gauleiter Martin Schulz) has often publicly expressed his contempt for democracy and said public opinion is irrelevant and voters are too ignorant to understand the issues they are voting on the fact that the EU has three Presidents, Schulz, Jean - Claude Drunkard, President of the EU Commission (the executive branch) and Donald Tusk, President of the EU Council, the committee of national leaders and senior bureaucrats, should tell you everything you need to know about the nature of this bureaucratic dictatorship.

The EU is blatantly pro American, supportive of moves towards global totalitatrian government and opposed to democracy, except for the kind of democratic assembly that merely rubber stamps bureaucrats decisions. Moreover, the EU has well documented designs towards extending 'Europe' into the middle east and north Africa, which makes an insane kind of sense of Hausfrau - Volksfuhrer Merkel's determination to flood Europe with illegal immigrants from those regions.

So what of the EU's latest threat to the right of free speech and free expression?

The European Parliament Subcommittee on Security and Defense is openly Russophobic in accusing Russia of waging an information war, MEP Javier Couso warns.

According to Couso, a recent subcommittee discussion on 'Russian propaganda' and the 'threat posed by Russia' was attended by two NATO officials, one of them being an employee of United States dominated Stratcom – the alliance's Strategic Communications Center.

"We were presented with a report which claimed that Russia and Russian media are lying to the Europeans and seeking to mislead them," Couso told the media. "I disagreed because we, the European citizens, were being told what we should or shouldn't watch." This of course accords with what Boggart Abroad has reported previously about western propaganda demonising Russia to swing public opinion in support of a war President Obama desperately needs.

Cuoso also leaked information that there’s already at least one team tasked with opposing 'Russian propaganda' by using a website and freelance employees to debunk ‘disinformation.’

"They intend to create Russian-language media outlets in order to oppose this 'propaganda', along with European media which would openly denounce journalists working for certain media agencies – for example, RT and Sputnik were mentioned by name – and accuse them of spreading disinformation," the MEP added.

Couso surmised that the goal of Washington and NATO’s appears to be preventing the EU from maintaining friendly relations with Russia.

"The thing is, NATO has made a strategic decision not only to encircle Russia, but to exclude it from Europe’s collective security system. Therefore, all of NATO’s actions – and, unfortunately, those of the EU countries which support the alliance – are aimed at preventing us from enjoying good relations with Russia, all for the US’ benefit," Couso concluded.

Earlier this month, the European External Action Service (EEAS) announced the creation of its Russian-language news website. According to the EEAS, the site will present visitors with a wide assortment of publications on the anti-Russian sanctions, life in Ukraine, and EU efforts in the Middle East, along with the so called 'Disinformation Reviews' compiled by a "mythbusting network" comprised of "over 300 experts, journalists, officials, NGOs and Think Tanks in over 30 countries." As we said, pure propaganda presenting the European and American point of view. Russia of course uses Russia Today and Sputnik to present its point of view. Btween the two we have to use our common sense filters to decide for ourselves what is somewhere near the truth.

Here to help you is an amusing and informative Dummies Guide To The Syrian Conflict, which shows how nothing in international relations is straightforward. Which is why you should follow sites like Boggart Abroad, always sceptical and anti - establishment and always willing to remind you that in the geopolitical gunfight at the OK Corral, none of the contenders is wearing a white hat.
