Enabling The Illusion of Political Change: Bush, Obama, Brennan, Geithner, and Gates

We're six years into the Obama administration and nothing much has changed concerning the most fundamental challenges facing the citizens of the United States. Those challenges are:
* Reviving and reforming an economy that is rigged for only the very wealthiest interests;
* Ending the usurpation of individual rights by the national intelligence cabal; and
* Freeing the nation and the world from the endless insertion of U.S. intelligence and military operations throughout the world.

We have the same lousy economy with the same greedy interests in charge of the same too big to fail institutions making sure that they alone prosper. Tax incentives and government supports are for the very few in the top 0.001%. It is all about Wall Street at the expense of working people and Main Street.

Thanks to Snowden's revelations, we know that domestic spying capabilities and activities have expanded considerably since the Bush administration.

While the death count is lower, U.S. sponsored subversive activities and military interventions overseas are a constant. The destruction of Libya under the guise of humanitarian relief, the open source conspiracy to destroy Syria, and the fantasies about the Ukraine having anything to do with our national security are just three of many morally repugnant, profit-generating projections of power around the world conducted in our name. PNAC prevails.
