Dr. Cornel West: Obama is a "Black Rockefeller Republican" (Updated Again)

Cornel West describes Obama as a "Black Rockefeller Republican" and goes on noting how President Nixon was more progressive and left leaning than Obama.

It is high past time for a reality check for all of the die-hard Obama supporters.

Wait until he announces the plan to complete the Keystone XL pipeline.

NDAA?

Patriot Act? (he was given the opportunity to let it expire)

Perpetuating the ridiculous official 9/11 conspiracy theory, including taking credit for the assassination of someone who chronically ill, died in 2001?

The entire list is here. 

Cornel West and Tavis Smiley are also right to point out that no-one is talking about the massive poverty in this country. With a federal minimum wage that should be over $10 an hour, a full 1 in 5 on food stamps, a real unemployment rate of around 25%, massive homelessness, including this author, who as a combat veteran that honorably served sleeps in a tent in public parks while there are approximately 25 vacant, rotting homes for every homeless person in this country.

Over a quarter of homeless men are veterans, over 83% of whom having separated under honorable conditions.There are over 20k homeless veterans in Los Angeles alone.

This is deplorable and unsustainable.

The emperor has no clothes.

There is going to be a revolution, the Status-Quo is living on borrowed time. (both figuratively and literally, as in consuming the lives of the future generations)

Concerning the Presidential Election, I'd like to say that after recommending that everyone vote for a 3rd party candidate, preferably either Jill Stein of the Green Party or Rocky Anderson of the Justice party, that I actually voted for one of them but guess what?

I COULDN'T EVEN VOTE. 

Yeah that's right, you need an actual physical address to vote! I jotted in my P.O Box on the voter registration form online and 4 days before the Oct. 22nd cut off date received a notification via physical mail that a P.O. Box isn't acceptable, unfortunately I didn't check my mail until the 25th of Oct.

A COMBAT VETERAN WHO SERVED HONORABLY AND IS NOW HOMELESS HAS NO POLITICAL VOICE.

In indigenous cultures, specifically Native American, those who horded material possessions and engaged in forms of slavery were reviled and eliminated. This relationship we all have with Corporate Capitalism is unnatural. It is why we truly do not enjoy life in this culture. Thought experiment: do you think birds, dolphins, or elephants wake from their sleep with an overwhelming sense of dread that they have to, through sheer will-power, force themselves to action? No, they LOVE LIFE, they naturally enjoy living. Concerning our mammalian relatives, Dolphins cannot survive captivity, and elephants are known to turn on their captors, facts that speak volumes to the inability of Man to survive captivity and our unconscious desire to engineer an unsustainable, fail-prone culture and long-standing rebellious tendencies.

What we have is an extreme minority of the species, gripped with psychosis, perpetuating an insane culture at the detriment of everyone else and all life, solely for their perceived benefit. Perceived in that, they are accumulating perceived forms of material wealth that, as it has been shown, beyond a certain point does not increase their level of satisfaction or happiness, all awhile depriving many if not most others from having even the basic requirements necessary for well-being.

My current situation is a case in point.

Einstein described insanity as doing the same thing over and over again yet expecting a different outcome.

We have signed the petitions.

We have had the peaceful protests.

It is time to respond to the slavery and oppression as though our very survival and well-being hinged upon its elimination, because it does.

FYI, I am not insane nor mentally retarded, but I am most certainly insufficiently programmed. A testament to the durability and self-propagating power of the Dominant Culture, any deviation from it is regarded as insanity or psychosis by its most thoroughly programmed members, yet the culture itself, from a truly objective perspective, is insane and deeply psychotic, suicidal even. This is a suicidal culture unconsciously seeking to facilitate its own demise by destroying the core requirements of life: freedom, a healthy environment, diversity and balance.

Those who, naively, believe they are free within the Dominant Culture would do well to view Human Resources. I will never engage in slavery or allow myself to be enslaved, not in this life, not in the next. I will choose death over slavery every time and will always fight against it.

I have a simple message for all the hard-core, racist, religious fundamentalist mother-fuckers who created and perpetuated a Feudalistic, Medieval Age, Plantation Slavery consciousness embodied in Corporate Capitalism:

KARMA CAN BE A BITCH. 

(As in spiritual karma, you are not doing "God's work", rape isn't "Gods' gift". If God is Love, I am most certain rape and economic slavery are not shining examples of it. )
