What Happens If A US President Stops Speaking, And Nobody Claps

Tyler Durden's picture




 

... does it mean that everyone saw right through the endless bluster, hollow rhetoric and empty promises of the man tasked with reading from a teleprompter, and currently in charge of one of the world's most totalitarian states? Because either someone is getting fired for forgetting to turn on the "applause" sign, or Europeans no longer care for the lies uttered by Obama on all topics NSA-related (and all other topics too). One wonders: how long until the US president finally gets the same treatment in his own country?

Heres an interesting campaign from AP. Good luck, they'll need it.

March 18, AP pushes bid for independent coverage of Obama

"The Associated Press is seeking to broaden independent news coverage of the White House under an administration that is hypersensitive about its image and which frequently bars the press from events involving President Barack Obama."

That wasn't half as insulting as Buny Rany greeting Barry the mulatto houseboy at the ASEAN dinner in Phnom Penh.  If there is any question of her grasp of diplomatic protocols, look at the way she sampeahed to the Sultan of Brunei at 26 minutes (who is a theocratic and absolute monarch who ascended to throne way back in 1967).

Remember these Euros were the ones who gave the largest support to Obama in 2008, where he drew the largest crouds in Europe and was met with standing ovations everywhere he went. 

Euros are the largest rubes of all and continuously go for populist leaders who sound pretty, but are empty at best and evil more often than not. Just look to the 1930's for some clear examples, the Euros cheered Hitler where ever he went.

True that, but the machines have done exceptionally well at producing the sacred cows every election. Please don't blame the people of the US. They no longer have a voice in choosing the dear leaders any moar. The election cycles are just giant clown shows.

The Euros are Rubes?  Hardly.

The Americans are the Rubes for believing that the Europeans liked Obama for *positive* reasons.

They did not.

They only liked Obama as they knew he would knock the U.S. down a peg or three to their level, to make the competition easier for Euros. 

They 'liked' Obama for *negative* reasons.

The Americans are the Rubes for believing the Euros liked Obama, and that this was yet another reason to vote for him.

Now that he's double-crossed them with spying; hanging them out to dry with Russia, etc., etc., they not only still don't like him; they hate him as much or more than any 'R' President.

The Euros liked Kennedy; they liked Clinton.  They liked Ike because he saved their bacon.  Other than that, meh, at best.

As a European I can tell you you're hopelessly wrong. They 'liked' him because he wasn't Bush, McStain or Romney.  Can't say I blame them/us.

I think you just proved my point that the Euros are the biggest rubes.

You say that they supported Obama for negative reasons to "take the US down a peg or three". 

But the US is the only (and I mean only) thing protecting the entire continent at this point. Europe's defenses are a complete joke, it was embarrasing for them after 9/11 because they had absolutely nothing to offer the US in the way of support. 

Now after taking the US down a peg, it is those very Euros who are left defenseless. American's are fine on our new continent protected by oceans and with resources.

Except for the quislings, the people really want to close US military bases and out the nukes. Europe is paying too much for NATO, more than 1% of our GDP for american military hardware. With that amount we could build an unify army, unfortunetly, USA force our quislings to disregard this clausule in EU Constitution.

Hey, we're all in argeement here, I want the US out of EU also.

But I think you're misunderstanding the situtation, you're complaining about the EU spending a drop on US military H/W, but the US spends even more than that in the EU on these bases (Germany practically cried when the US started to close some bases under Bush because of the lost "local revenue") and also it will cost the EU even more to design and produce its own hardware. 

When the US leaves (which it will have to once the dollar falls) you're going to find the Euros are going to have to both pay for their own defense and supply the manpower, neither of which it does today nor is capable of.

msm didnt tell.

Angela had said several time, oficially, she want at least the nukes out of Germany. Belgian too. France had done this a long time ago with DeGaulle. The problem is without bases how to control the wily europeans and fuck us with subprime ponzi in more than 2 trillions dollars, destroying our banks and pensions funds (The Financial Crisis Inquiry Report Final Report Of The National Commission On The Causes Of The Financial And Economic Crisis In The United States Offiiall Government Edition, January 2011)   and we just see the PIIG as the cause of our crisis? It is almost like those 1% fuck us and we have to say thank you.

You dont know the misery we have to past, even the suicides of people and families who lost everything due to the crisis were not reported anymore in msm.

The american people at least could point the fingers at wall street banksters and there subprime ponzi sheme the cause of their misery, here the quislings just supress it all.

I just posted this at that article:

 

"The Grio - the Largest Cesspool of Black Racism anywhere on Earth!"

You people are nothing but a bunch of David Dukes wearing blackface. Anyone who doesn't believe Blacks are among America's largest and virulent group of racists, needs only spend a few minutes reading your hate-speech.

Judging by the content of your character, Dr. King is weeping to think how you've turned his "I have a Dream" speech into such a sick nightmare.

So you want to discuss Blacks getting killed by Whites? First, when are you shutting down the Killing Fields of endless Backs killing Blacks in Chicago, NYC, Detroit, LA, Miami, Atlanta, Boston, East St. Louis . . . ? Oh, can't bring peace to your own neighborhoods?

Or how about even coming out with rallies against "Polar Bear Hunting" - the Black Racist event that you can't seem to admit is Black Racism at its most despicable and violent?

Or how about shutting down the 70% illegitimacy rate of Blacks? Or the fact that more Black babies are aborted than born in NYC?

Care to opine on why Black children graduate from high school and can't read or write cursive? Or tell time on an analog clock - even though they are taught by Blacks - or are we supposed to believe in your Black Racist insanity that the remaining White teachers undo the teaching of the Black teachers?

Maybe you can bounce around some thoughts about why Blacks allow gangsta rappers to be role models - with their misogyny, drug addictions, relentless violence, irresponsible sex lives, and bling-based evaluation of personal worth?

When will you admit that your Black Racism is a scam to excuse the Black community's Death Spiral at the hands of your fellow Black Racists?

How about some discourse on the way Blacks sold Blacks to Arabs - to this very day? Tell us about your rallies in Africa to shut down the slave trade.

And don't forget that after thousands of years of slavery by Blacks as well as every other race on Earth, that it was Whites who outlawed - and enforced - the criminalization of slavery - which is still practiced by African Blacks.

And who can be a really Black, Black Racist without forgetting all about the hundreds of thousands of Whites who died to free Blacks from slavery in America. Oh that's right - it's all the White's fault that slavery existed in America - despite the fact that the first slaveholder in America was Black - as was the largest slaveholder at the time of the Civil War. Darn those Inconvenient Truths!

Frankly, you are a disgusting group of nothing better than a Black KKK. Those of us who got our heads wacked by the cops in the Freedom Marchs didn't do that so that the White Citizens'' Council could be replaced with the Black Racist Club. (By the way, care to share how many marches you got beat up in to win these freedoms from apartheid?)

I expect to read about how being White I have no place commenting about anything to do with the Black community - it's a Black thing and all that Black Racist trash.

OK, so shut up about Whites. You're not White so you are as equally incapable of discussing White culture as Whites are incapable of discussing Black culture. Let's see how your total lack of integrity sits with your Black Racist standards being applied to your own Black Racist hate-speech.

I for one, will be no more intimidated by a bunch of Black Racist bullies than I was of the White racists. You are big-mouthed cowards who don't have the sense to come in out of the rain.

If Oprah is correct, and racism will only die when the racists die - I look forward to your demise very soon. Hell will have new fuel for the fire, and the Earth will be a safer, cleaner, more loving place without you.

No, these are gestures for the sheeple in front of the TV they do all the time.

Pay attention how he is "greeting" torwards the audience afterwards. There is nobody they are greeting. It's only smoke and mirrors. It just is about creating the impression, for the sheeple in front of TV, how much they were liked and how friendly and grounded they were, because they are greeting back. It works subconsciously, people do not recognize this effect.

That's a standard PR procedure in Plutocracies.

 

Watch it again and imagine this muppet would not use these gestures. Then the sheeple in front of TV, where the big majority is NOT satsified with these muppets, would suddenly recognize, how lonesome their bad acting is and that nobody is greeting them - the sheeple would recognize: damn, not only me, nobody likes them! I'm not alone, this is only a scam.

Here is the german explanation why they didnt claps:

"BERLIN, March 26 (Xinhua) -- Former German Chancellor Helmut Schmidt has criticized the West for its Russia policy of imposing sanctions and stopping cooperation in the G8 amid the Ukraine crisis, according to media reports on Wednesday.

Schmidt told German newspaper Die Zeit that sanctions adopted by the European Union and the United States against Russia were "nonsense", saying further economic sanctions would fail to achieve their goal.

Economic sanctions mainly have symbolic meaning and would also hit Western countries, he noted.

The ex-chancellor also criticized the decision to suspend cooperation with Russia in the framework of the G8. "It would be ideal to get together now," he said.

The situation in Ukraine, Schmidt said, is "dangerous" because the West is "terribly upset," which leads to the same reaction in Russia.

As for the policy of the German government, the 95-year-old politician praised Chancellor Angella Merkel's caution while handling the Ukraine issue.

Schmidt, who served as chancellor from 1974 to 1982 in what was then West Germany, is one of the most respected statesman in Germany.

Criticism of EU's Ukraine policy also came from former German Chancellor Gerhard Schroder.

He said the EU made "a mistake" by putting Ukraine, a culturally divided country, in an "either/or" situation with an association agreement, noting that sanctions would hurt Germany more than other countries. "

Schmidt and Schroeder should keep their opinions to themselves. Schmidt is very old, borderline senile. He was a respected chancellor but his time is done. Schroeder made backroom deals with Putin and sold out years ago. Not a credible source.

Sanctions won't be effective. They never are. Money like water will always travel the path of least resistence. Pressure has to be on Putin personally and nobody else. He's a quasi dictator but the Russian people more or less "love" him. Don't know how much that is true as real opposition has been silenced over the years. Hitler's popularity and approval ratings were highest when he marched into Austria, the Sudetenland. The opposition was already either in chains or dead. Sochi 2014 was reminiscent of Berlin 1936. The similarities are eerie.

I don't know why Schmidt is behaving like Chamberlain. He should know better and I'm disappointed he would not want to leave a legacy of moral integrity.

I know what you mean but it doesn't compare. What is a "neo-nazi jew junta" supposed to mean? It doesn't make sense. Don't get carried away, just study the facts and the time line. Putin had planned this for a longer time than Maidan. The US caught wind which is why EU/US had disagreement on how to preempt. Yes, you read that right. The EU/US preempted Putin with a revolution and the ousting of then President Yanu & Co. Putin probably wants all of Eastern Ukraine and he's got Crimea for now.

US/EU knew about Russian troop movements, exercises along the border and the referendum. Or did you think all that was just orchestrated at a whim?

When Russians "leak" whatever the hell they think is important propaganda, the EU/US intel doesn't leak anything. They just know and build strategy.

NSA is but one spy program. You better realize that Russia, China, Germany, UK and so on and so forth are all listening and intercepting calls / emails etc especially since 9/11.

You're getting into all kinds of mental contortions to justify your point of view...what you just wrote wouldn't pass the Occam's Razor test.

"Study the facts and the time line" and then say that Putin had it planned for a long time. Really? How do you know that? Is this considered a "fact"? And what exactly was he planning? His guy (Yanukovich) was already ruling in Kiev since 2010. So what are you talking about? What did the EU/US need to pre-empt?

BTW the "neo nazi jew junta" he's referring to is the odd combination of the current (unelected) President/Prime Minister combo in Ukraine, both of whom are apparently Jews...and the guys who helped put them there, the guys who were setting policemen on fire and rioting in Kiev, members of far-right groups.

Mental contortions are absolutely necessary if you ever want to understand what happened. Putin had the Olympics going on. He couldn't make a move until that was done. As soon as the Games were close to being wrapped up he annexed Crimea. As IF the Ukrainians ever had a chance to sack the Russian navy port and other Russian military installations in Crimea. Russia outnumbered Ukraine several times.

Yanu was Putin's puppet. He was ousted and fled to Russia. He begged Putin/Russia to invade. The referendum happened within several days after. Better not check when the ballots were printed or you might have a clue.

Hitler had broad support you might claim, but the more this successful politician - and this is the most damning charge to be thrown upon him and his imitators till present day-
got things fucked up , the more the masses rallied behind him. Or had to.

Whatever. The Germans were happy to support Hitler until they weren't. Of course there were no ratings in the sense we have Gallup today. Stretch your imagination a little. Had there been weekly ratings, the support for Hitler could have been measured in high approval "ratings". Hitler cleaned up Germany, created employment and built the Autobahn among other things. We all know how that turned out and why he did it but nevertheless, the people saw that and appreciated him for it!

Putin is appreciated, has high ratings, high election results and all that. Oh, don't look behind the curtain. There's no oppostion to speak of.

Why is that any different from Hitler who was a bona fide dictator?

The people support Putin. Are the people correct? Opposition to Putin is not allowed and the people are either too dumb or too satisfied to notice how fewer and fewer opponents to Putin's lifelong regime remain. How long has the guy been in power now?

Anyway, speak with Russians who migrated away from Putin and you get a better idea. Of course the dumb ones remain silent and wait like sheep to be led to slaughter one day. That can be said for anywhere but at least we have some checks and balances in Europe and in North America. We also have a media that can make a difference. Whether or not they chose to is up to them or better, up to who pays them.

Entirely possible that Putin is financed by the same group which financed Hitler. Needs lots of tinfoil though.
