ADJECTIVE:MENDACITY - Frowning, Smirking or Smiling is What It Is.
However it is expressed, and acted out by any, more or less, charismatic and physically attractive person of any color, mendacity* is what it is; like it or not. It is, essentially, most important what anyone does, rather than what anyone says, that is, 'proof in the pudding.'
Barack Obama's, immediate USA President, predecessor, Dubya's, expressive way was self righteous, rude, crude, offensive, ignorant, blatantly false and, often, rather incoherent to any reasonably well informed, honest and sentient** person.
Barack Obama's expression is self righteous - and not historically and factually true - although with intellectually crafted and articulately polished words from an academically credentialed professor of the corrupted to the core legal system which, along with the corrupt to the core religious, educational and economic systems, originated and perpetuated since being established hundreds to thousands of years prior to Niccolò di Bernardo dei Machiavelli*** and his book The Prince (<Text of the work by Machiavelli) from 500 years ago; at about the time of the Beginning of America, with the genocidal campaign, and other atrocities - for land acquisition, control and financial profit, against the indigenous people who, previously, existed for tens of thousands of years on this continent as respectful, appreciative and efficient users and caretakers of the land and environmental elements, without warped, insane concepts, laws and practices of ownership of land, water, air and other natural resources.
The absolutely insane greed, corruption, destruction and death, extending and dominating from the foundation and core of the established ruling institutions' decision making people, are apparent in most every way everywhere, all of the present times, such as: Mexico's drug cartels siphon liquid gold - Bold theft of $1 billion in oil, resold in U.S., has dealt a major blow to the treasury
Hitler would not have had funding and supplies for the war erroneously written about as being solely attributed to his charisma, planning and implementation, without the full support of leading American and European industrialist, solely for obvious financial profit, with no national patriotic loyalties or allegiances, and no compassion or respect for any life forms - human or otherwise..
All of which time, reflected on above, is infinitesimally small relative to the 4.54 billion years of existence of our earth and solar system.

The
"Obama Doctrine": Eternal War For Imperfect Mankind
"For make no mistake: Evil does
exist in the world."
By Rick Rozoff
"President
and commander-in-chief of the armed forces of the United States Barack Obama
delivered his Nobel Peace Prize acceptance address in Oslo on December 10, which
has immediately led to media discussion of an Obama Doctrine.
With obligatory references to Martin Luther King, Jr. and Mohandas Gandhi (the
second referred to only by his surname) but to no other American presidents than
Ronald Reagan, Richard Nixon and John F. Kennedy - fellow peace prize recipients
Theodore Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson and Jimmy Carter weren't mentioned - the U.S.
head of state spoke with the self-assurance of the leader of the world's first
uncontested superpower and at times with the self-righteousness of a would-be
prophet and clairvoyant. And, in the words of German philosopher Friedrich von
Schlegel, a prophet looking backward.
Accompanied by visionary gaze and cadenced, oratorical solemnity, his comments
included the assertion that "War, in one form or another, appeared with the
first man." Unless this unsubstantiated claim was an allusion to the
account in the Book of Genesis in the Hebrew Bible of Cain murdering his brother
Abel, which would hardly constitute war in any intelligible meaning of the word
(nor was Cain the first man according to that source), it is unclear where Obama
acquired the conviction that war is coeval with and presumably an integral part
of humanity.
Paleontologists generally trace the arrival of modern man, homo sapiens, back
200,000 years, yet the first authenticated written histories are barely 2,400
years old. How Obama and his speechwriters filled in the 197,600-year gap to
prove that the practice of war is as old as mankind and implicitly inseparable
from the human condition is a question an enterprising reporter might venture to
ask at the next presidential press conference.
Perhaps delusions of omniscience is the answer. The Oslo speech is replete with
references to and appropriations of the attributes of divinity. And to
historical and anthropological fatalism; a deeply pessimistic concept of
Providence.
Obama affirmed that "no Holy War can ever be a just war. For if you truly
believe that you are carrying out divine will, then there is no need for
restraint." Then shortly afterward stated "Let us reach for the world
that ought to be - that spark of the divine that still stirs within each of our
souls." An adversary's invocation of the divine is false, heretical,
sacrilegious; Washington's is true, unerring, sufficient to justify any action,
however violent and deadly. As unadulterated an illustration of secular
Manicheaism as can be found in the modern world.
Toward the beginning of his speech the first standing American president in
ninety years to receive the Peace Prize acknowledged that "perhaps the most
profound issue surrounding my receipt of this prize is the fact that I am the
Commander-in-Chief of the military of a nation in the midst of two wars."
Understandably he exerted no effort to justify one of the two wars in question,
that in Iraq, but endorsed and pledged the continuation of the other, that in
Afghanistan and increasingly Pakistan - while elsewhere speaking disparagingly
of the European Crusades of the later Middle Ages.
Neither the Nobel Committee nor its honoree seemed inordinately if at all
concerned by the unprecedented awarding of the prestigious and generous ($1.4
million) Peace Prize to a commander-in-chief in charge of two simultaneous wars
far from his nation's shores and in countries whose governments and peoples
never threatened it in any manner.
In language that never before was heard during a peace prize acceptance speech,
Obama added "we are at war, and I'm responsible for the deployment of
thousands of young Americans to battle in a distant land. Some will kill, and
some will be killed."
With not a scintilla of national self-awareness, balance or irony, he also
derided the fact that "modern technology allows a few small men with
outsized rage to murder innocents on a horrific scale," as he orders
unmanned aerial vehicles (drones) linked by space satellites to launch deadly
missile attacks in Afghanistan and Pakistan.
The central themes of Obama's speech are reiterations of standing U.S. policy
going back over a decade with the waging of war against Yugoslavia in early 1999
without United Nations authorization or even a nominal attempt to obtain one;
that the U.S. and its Western military allies can decide individually and
collectively when, to what degree, where and for what purpose to use military
force anywhere in the world. And the prerogative to employ military force
outside national borders is reserved exclusively for the United States, its
fellow NATO members and select military clients outside the Euro-Atlantic zone
such as Colombia, Ethiopia, Georgia, Israel and Saudi Arabia of late.
What is arguably unique in Obama's address is the bluntness with which it
reaffirmed this doctrine of international lawlessness. Excerpts along this line,
shorn of ingenuous qualifications and decorative camouflage, include:
"We must begin by acknowledging the hard truth: We will not eradicate
violent conflict in our lifetimes. There will be times when nations - acting
individually or in concert - will find the use of force not only necessary but
morally justified."
He offered a summary of the just war argument that a White House researcher
could have cribbed from Wikipedia." Continued>

For those shocked, sad and
despondent Barack Obama supporters and followers, as well as those of us who
were simply hopeful, it is important to remember or learn that no President is
truly 'The Decider.' Barack Obama is President because he was chosen and
groomed, with a different spin from 'Dubya,' to continue advancing the
priorities of the actual Deciders who are not elected officials, using the same
'play book.'
