Creator Of Infamous "Hope" Poster Lashes Out At Obama, Calls Americans "Ignorant And Lazy"

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Before the people realized that behind the "most transparent administration ever" there was nothing but double seasonal adjustments, drones and an impenetrable layer of propaganda and lies, there was...

And change, of course.

Sadly, at some point over the past six years the hope died, first for the people (if not the bankers), and then for the creator of the infamous "Hope" poster himself, Shepard Fairey who told Esquire magazine in an interview that Obama has not come even close to embodying the break with the past administration that Fairey and so many voters hoped he would.

"I mean, drones and domestic spying are the last things I would have thought [he'd support]."

But support them he did while crushing the much promised transparency and freedom for the masses, for one simple reason: money, the same reason why Fairey is almost willing to give Obama a pass, again. Money, and of course, power and control of the masses by the select few.

Still, the confused artist still isn't fully ready to throw away all his idealism just yet:

I've met Obama a few times, and I think Obama's a quality human being, but I think that he finds himself in a position where your actions are largely dictated by things out of your control.

A "quality human being" he may be, but when it comes to personal motives, money always wins. Just ask the Clinton Foundation. Even Fairey, who says he "agrees with Hilary on most issues" finally grasps that now:

... campaign finance structure makes me very angry, because it means that politicians are going to have to raise a huge amount of money, which narrows the field dramatically. There are only certain kinds of people that either have the preexisting resources or the willingness to work in way that will get them a lot of money from donors. That narrows the field right there. Then there's the idea that the people who you are going to have to listen to are the people that are going to give you the biggest donation. That means lobbyists, special interest groups, and corporations are going to have politicians eager, disproportionally.

He adds: "I'm not giving him a pass for not being more courageous, but I do think the entire system needs an overhaul and taking money out of politics would be a really good first step."

A systemic overhaul by whom? The same politicians who are nothing but "whores" to corporate lobby interests?

Or maybe the infamous artist should just blame the American public for agreeing to be swindled and manipulated by one liar after another, all of whom promise change yet end up merely perpetuating the broken, corrupt system they inherit from their predecessor and make it even worse.

Actually, that's precisely what Fairey did. This is what he told Esquire:

We also need a public that isn't so uneducated and complacent. I hate to say Americans are ignorant and lazy, but a lot of them are ignorant and lazy.... When you live in a place that has a lot of good things that make life easier, it's easier to take them for granted. But what frustrates me to no end are people who want to blame Obama or blame anything that is something that if they were actually doing anything as simple as voting, it might not be as bad as it is. There's a lot of finger pointing and very little action and very little research into the dynamics that created the situation that they're unhappy about.

Actually, about that he's quite accurate

However his message will be diluted and ignored, and the media will do is what it always does when facing a threat to the status quo: crush the messenger.

And conveniently, Fairey made it very easy for them: after all, and quite amusingly, his Hope poster itself was a fraud.

The artist was recently sentenced to two years of probation and fined $250,000 in 2012 for destroying documents and concealing others in an attempt to hide that he had used an Associated Press photograph as the basis for his "Hope" poster. And even more ironic, as Gawker wrote in 2009, Fairey himself was  "lawsuit happy to artists who ape or parody his stuff."

Unfortunately, in retrospect Fairey's story is one of "tidiest little package" summaries of the banana republic status the US, and its leadership, has devolved to.

It was pretty obvious before the 2008 election that Obama was a creation of the media, who were not vetting him at all. His campaign web site read like a wish list of the more statist among the Democrats. there was abundant evidence that he wanted our guns, but everyone insisted otherwise.

I think the point of the article is all of Fairey's faux "Hope" has been destroyed, he's now seeking some sort of public redemption (like the ObamaFone Lady) for being a useful idiot.

Or...as some think...now that the CIA and other Deep State bureaucracies have cut off his paycheck & informed him that they are done with him, he's trying to save his artistic career.

Either way, a little schadenfreude is the order of the day ;-)

I have tried your approach numerous times. It has never worked for me but It does explain my having lost so many jobs. I have tried to mend my ways but I find it hard to be subtle, preferring the direct approach as you.

I once watched Mr get an incompetent manager fired after several years of strategic attacks that his victim was unaware. This took risk, daring and an incredible amount of patience. I have seen the utility of his methods but I can't quite pull it off as slickly he does. Without him I think I would have faced starvation. Perhaps that would have done me some good.

Carter is great example of how petty and ridiculous people are. Reagan perpetuated various and pointless international war crimes (and absurd ones to boot, Grenada wtf?), sold weapons to iran, tripled the national debt, set in the motion the creation of biggest bubble in financial history, expanded federal government by a bunch, wasted epic amounts of money on goofy defence projects (job creation) and got damn close to global nuclear war. Yet... carter is the bad guy and reagan is worshipped. 

Why? Because reagan said a bunch of stupid propaganda bullshit about how great 'merica is and folkz eat that shit up. Carter said the opposite and these same folkz are scorned forever. Of all the presidents in the past 50 years Carter has the least egregious record.

Well, if we must, carter-mondale were afraid of their own shadows, hopeless statist nerds. He (and they) presided over a nation stuck in the "unpossibility" of stagflation (if you believe in Keynesian theory), created still more bureaucracies (like the Energy Dept, Dept of Education) that never tire of budget increases on the backs of the taxpayers, carter gave his infamous Malaise Speech (which we will get from O'Barry within the next year or so) and was apparently absolutely terrified of swamp rabbits and Iranian students.

Part (a very large part) of being a president is you always exude confidence in your game plan, which of course requires you actually have a game plan besides just declaring you have one...lol.

Obama and carter never had one, outside of growing the state to massive proportions and in Obama's case, using the state to pay off his cronies.

To deny the truisms & optimism of Reagan is to admit the reality & pessimism of carter to yourself Cole, so tell me, Reagan...

"Government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it."

"I have wondered at times about what the Ten Commandments would have looked like if Moses had run them through the U.S. Congress."

"Government is like a baby: An alimentary canal with a big appetite at one end and no sense of responsibility at the other."

 

 

 

or carter...

 

"The solution of our energy crisis can also help us to conquer the crisis of the spirit in our country," Sorry, its the only worthwile quote of carter's presidency I could find ;-)

I write a list of facts - specific shit reagan did that any conservative would deplore (at least if it wasn't reagan doing it) and you return with some prat about carter wasn't 'confident' enough, didn't make the country feel good. zzzz

And your reagan quotes are more propaganda - fictitious nonsense he made no effort to implement. Record / reality VS. talk, talk is always free. Some people don't give a shit about reality though, talk is all that matters. Like i was saying..

First of all, I'm stunned that you're even attempting to compare carter with Reagan, its like comparing a Prius to a Cadillac, its not even close.

The quotes are real Cole and just what "various and pointless international war crimes" are you talking about Reagan committing?

Making a joke about "bombing the Soviet Union" is NOT anywhere close to "global nuclear war" (unless you're one of those who curls up in the fetal position sucking your thumb at the mere mention of an obvious joke) and what he did by tripling the debt (he lamented later doing it that way) was bankrupt the Soviet Union, who had its people in fucking breadlines Cole, similar to what you see in communist coutries today like Venezuela & Cuba.

Along with fiscally destroying the Soviet Empire, he came into office with inflation at 13%, when he left it was 4%...10% unemployment to 5%...GDP (if you use that contrived metric) of negative 0.3% (under carter) to 4% in 88...the Misery Index (a combination of inflation & high unemployment-unpossible under Keynesian theory) 19% to 10%.

The Misery Index, now theres something we don't hear about today in the "progressive" captured media.

In fact, carter was THE WORST in my lifetime, a vacillating, weak, a pure statist specimen, until Obama came along and blew by carter as the worst in his very first year.

Anecdotally, I was unemployed when carter left office. By 1985 I had married, in 1986 we bought our first home, in 1987 we purchased the land we live on to this very day.

So, for me and many others who lived through it there is no comparison, carter=prius...Reagan=Cadillac.

Plus, David Stockman is now saying that the "Trickledown Economics" aka "Supply Side Economics" didn't work and never could have worked.  Those, of course, are, I believe, Ronald Reagan's principal claim to fame (unless one counts overspending on the Military Industrial Complex so much that he bankrupted both the USSR and the USA, which is somehow "a great victory").

When Jimmy Carter was President, I got a rebate back on my income tax for putting insulation in my attic.  That made Jimmy Carter the only President who cared enough about saving the planet, and about trying to free the USA from its addiction to imported oil, to actually put together a program that I, as a citizen, could participate in.  That's populist, which is the opposite of oligarchist/fascist.  

Jimmy Carter also put solar panels on the White House roof.  Ronald Reagan removed them.

Jimmy Carter is a natural born leader, and pretty fearless.  I think Ronald Reagan was more a pretender, actually kowtowing to TPTB, and not lacking Carter's courage, but substituting better-grooming, a better voice, and of course better acting.  But doing, for the most part, what TPTB told him to do.  Which was why he almost always had the press gushing over him.

One of the things Ronald Reagan did that TPTB told him to do was having ex-CIA Director George H.W. Bush as his Vice President.  Oliver North ran an illegal secret war from an office in the basement of the White House, and since North was a mere Colonel, SOMEONE had to be overseeing him.  I always figured that was Bush - mainly because Bush had spent years as head of Zapata Offshore Inc., travelling around Central America "making deals for oil companies to drill for oil", and at the same time some democratically-elected Central American Presidents were being assassinated or overturned by military coups.  How come neither MSM nor Rush Limbaugh ever did the hard-nosed journalism to find out who was overseeing Ollie North?

So you think that because you were allowed to keep more of your income (the tax rebate) by doing what .gov told you to do, you were made more free or had more choice?

I'll never understand the mindset, if they taxed you LESS you could do the same thing, its YOUR money.

And solar panels on the WH is not saving the fucking planet...lol...rare earths are mined.

I did it because I wanted to do it, and because it kept me from having to give so much of my hard-earned money to the electric energy corporation.  But I also realized that it helped a little to save planet Earth.  All small helpful acts are worthwhile.  Good Samaritan.

I think life on Earth would be better if governments would give tax rebates for things that help save the planet, like putting in insulation and so forth, instead of for things that destroy the planet, like having lots of babies when there are already 6 or 7 billion humans on the planet.

Well Kaisen, I really don't mind (or care) what you do to your own property or how much money you spend on it, I just don't want to subsidize what you feel you must do to "save the planet".

And doing it to save yourself some bucks seems like the right thing to do for yourself as long as the payback comes in your lifetime, meaning, I don't know how much you're about to pay for "NASA insulating spheres" but be aware there are fakes & scammers out there ready to prey on your good intentions for your money.

I couldn't agree more. I saw something terrifying recently when I had Bloomberg TV (I think) on in the background, and they were interviewing Hillary Clinton supporters in Iowa. To a person they could not name a specific achievement of Hillary's, they couldn't reasonably express why they like her, they were dismissive of the never-ending trail of slime and corruption behind the Clintons, and yet they were already completely sold on the idea of Hillary as President. It's the Cult of Personality, I suppose. That's has to be how Barry Soetoro was (s)elected twice.

Most people who voted for Obomber - and who would vote for Hitlery - are completely run by emotion.  The little bird of logic never rustles their hair, never enters their lives - it's allll about how they FEEEEEEL - don't distract them with facts (it's pointless to try, anyway).  Most, if not all, are moral relativists as well, so they don't see the deep-rooted corruption as a "problem" - they view it as just being part of "the way you have to be to get things done" .... which also why they believe very deeply that "the ends justify the means" (so if you have to bribe, lie, cheat, steal, murder, threaten, harass, etc - it's all good as far as their concerned)... until one of them gets squished under the wheels of corruption at which point they stand around blinking and confused like the corruption "popped up out of nowhere!" - like the dumb fucks who thought Obombercare was going to be a "great thing" only to find that their premiums skyrocketed, too - lol.

I knew in 2008 that Obama has always wanted our guns

Of course, it is true that the Myth of Obama created by the media is now busted

however, Obama still has the latent ability to rally perhaps 70 million with a single speech. He could incite them to do just about anything if he said the right things. He just has to blame everything on Republicans, Tea Partiers, libertarians, constitutionalists, gun owners, preppers, evangelicals, etc. - all white of course. He could incite that many to help him disarm and genocide these groups - if he wanted to. This says little about Obama of course, but it says a lot about his followers.

Exactly.

campaign finance structure makes me very angry, because it means that politicians are going to have to raise a huge amount of money, which narrows the field dramatically

Fuck you Fairey.  Go light yourself on fire, and have someone irradiate the ashes just to be sure.  How is changing campaign finance going to make worthless pieces of shit like yourself any less fucking stupid?  It's not.  You are and most likely always will be utterly incompetent at making decisions such as for whom to vote.  What "narrows the field dramatically" is that the majority of (so called) Americans do not think for themselves.  Their vote is not their own - it's owned by big $ and the MSM.  People who aren't really voting for themselves, who likely are not even mentally capable of it or just don't really give a shit thereby enabling their laziness and recklessness, should not be allowed to vote.  (The first-past-the-pole voting system isn't helping any either.)

Dude, The President of The United STates is a fucking MURDERER who ORDERED THE ASSASINATION of TWO CITIZENS of the country of which he was supposedly elected PRESIDENT. We have a criminal government that is the number one scourge on humanity and you are worried about?

Retail Sales?

As if stupid economic numbers most likely completely made up by the same criminal government matter. I suppose you wait with baited breathe every Friday for the Unemployment Table?

Are you serious?

The fucking problem is not lack of retail sales. We cannot consume our way out of this mess you idiot. Unless we dismantle the Empire and actually resume PRODUCING something that matters onec again, we will languish in the same bowl of shit that have been in for the last 40 years.

It's okay dude. Just keep doin' what you're doin'. Keep contributing to that 401K, VOTING, pay that mortage, and heaven knows THOSE TAXES and some day say around DOW 5,000 you can join Mr. Fairey as one of the useful idiots just another mark for the criminal entity known as government.

If after 14 years of Bush/Obama fascism this guy didn't realize that voting, for the most part, is completely incapable of effecting change, he's not qualified for this discussion.  No one in the Team Red/Blue Federal Government Monopoly is going to help you.  Try to make change in your local communities.  Help foster kids.  Work with local small businesses.  Bank at a Credit Union and vociferously encourage your fellows to do so.  Vote in your LOCAL ELECTIONS for limited government types.

Sure it's all a lot more work than pulling the lever for another leader/hero, but you'll actually make a difference.  One day when the profligate Federal Government collapses under it's own weight, strong and principled communities will still be able to prosper.

Speaking of Obama, how many people would the CIA’s Manchurian Candidate, Barack Obama, get to support the Trans-Pacific Partnership if he labeled it his Apartheid Plan.  That is really what the TPP is, a system of economically segregating people (soon to be slaves) just like the institutionalization of apartheid in South Africa in 1948.  Or, to use another example, when Hitler wanted to segregate Jewish people, after seizing power in the aftermath of the Reichstag Fire false flag attack, he passed a series of laws disenfranchising Jewish people, culminating in the 1935 Nuremberg Laws.  The TPP is a big part of the “Final Solution” by the New World Order to gain control over the world’s economy. 

The secret TPP is just another stage in the plan by the insane NWO to institutionalize their control of the world.  For example, Saudi Arabia wants to demolish the World Trade Center because it is an affront to their religion, fine, send in the CIA’s Atta and associates to plan its destruction, including having guns put on the planes.  The Patriot Act passed in the aftermath of the false flag WTC attack is an act that functions just like those vans in WW2 that the Nazis used, with the loop antennas on them, to locate by triangulation where an enemy transmitter was.  The FISA court judges now act like Hitler’s Nazi People Court judges, always quick to follow orders, even in egregious violation of the Bill of Rights.  Those FISA judges are all appointed by Chief Justice John Roberts, who lied about his health and his neurological condition to get on the court.

How will this horror show end?  With people like Obama as frontmen for the homicidal NWO, who can say where the next Syria or Libya will be.  Maybe right here in the USA.  In Texas, police and government agents opened up with machine gun fire at the Twin Peaks restaurant, blasting everything in sight, FBI sharpshooters picking off some targets from a list they had and the press said nothing.  Institutionalized murder is one characteristic of any apartheid system.  America is in big trouble and don’t expect your pedophile Congressional members to do anything about it.

If you could boil that down to 140 characters we might stand a chance.  Sadly, I'm sure you cannot and so we do not.

This is total bull shit.  You will see a lot of liberals/traitors who will say they made a mistake or were fooled.  Garbage.   They knew he was evil.  Saldy, the USA doe snot have real elections.

Bushes, Clintons, McCains, Obama, all the Neo Cons and Neo Libs are the same ZWO gang.

I disagree. I thought Dubya was a great President. I supported him the whole way.

I have some regrets. I bet he does too.

But it is always easy to armchair quarterback especially on Monday morning.

I for one miss him:

Is ironic that one artist can say this about another.  Not arguing, just amusing.

Strictly speaking, I am not like Fairey because I did not spend my entire life as an artist.

This is a guy who supposedly pursued the artistic ideals of truth and beauty. What we have is a turdball sellout whose motto is "Obey".

Here is what a real artist has to say about Fairey: http://mileswmathis.com/obey.pdf

Some would still argue beauty is truth.

I for one love your work. It is so biting precisely because it is so true. Exactly the anithesis of Fairey.

I think in many ways you are the answer to that whole camp of schmary asshat groupthink cock strokers.

I think publishing a book (old school physical pages you get in the mail) of your work would be brilliant. I would put it on my coffee table with pride.

What about a kickstarter campaign to get the first edition?

I would like to see you properly rewarded for all you have given to this community over the years. I am sure there are plenty of others.

OK, crowd funding it is. I have been thinking about this too long.

The only way the math works is if I get firm commitments for the books up front. I can sign them at the factory, but I have no place to store unsold editions. Also, if I know how many are sold I can do a bigger run and reduce the cost.

I got an Obama email a few days ago about taking the money out of politics.

The email asked for a donation to get money out of politics.

I am not making this up.

'Bout a month ago I got a call from the New Vision People's Democratic Republican Party of the Land of Fruit and Nuts asking me "in order to defeat Hillary in the upcoming presidental election to donate and".... 
I interrupted
Said; "Please mam, explain to me why in the world I should vote Republican when all the Republicans do these days is carry water for the Democrats?  Explain that to me."  (crickets)  "Mam, with all due respect, you all had me in the fold with you when Ron Paul was around and then you, the Republican Party crucified him, publicly.  You lost me then.  Thank you very much and take me off list."

Was easier and softer way of saying that there's only one party, etc, which sounds to most like a crazy person.  That they vote the same, not.
All percetions management.

Did the same thing with a Republican survey.  I told them that both parties would be dead in a decade because there was not a dimes worth of difference between the two parties.

The GOP is on the same TPP and amnesty penile as Obola and the Democrats. 

The only one worth shit in the amazingly corrupt Senate is Jeff Sessions.  1 decent senator out of 100. How sad is that?   What a joke.

All the Bibi lovers over at Free Republic love Goldman Sachs Ted Cruz.   He even admitted he is on his wife's GS Blankfein healthcare plan while we serfs get Obama Care.

Numbers USA ranked the Repubs on the border and Rick Santorum go an A and Walker got a B+ or A-.  The rest were Cs, Ds, and Fs.

Good story.

Obama's Legacy, he didn't help people, he didn't get money out of politics, he wasted 6 years on nothing...

Obama's Legacy, Man in an Ivory Tower with no friends and no Pathos, Ethos, or Logos.

He didn't even want to be president.

Obama wanted to set the record for being the most frequent flyer on Air Force One. Mission Accomplished.

I think he wanted it until he got it, had the talk with daddy, and learned it wasn't all he thought it would be. 

"So if I do what I was elected to do you are going to kill me?"

"Very, very, VERY publicly kill you."

"Shit.  Tee time then?"

------------------

Of course that has not stopped him from nibbling at the edges looking for an advantage.  Success has been somewhat limited in that regard.

It isn't that he would be any better at being the big dictator if he were able to pursue his own will and want.  It's just that if the President cannot do that then nobody can.  We are all prisoners.  Say, is it getting more crowded in here (looks at the 25% of the Mexican population living "here" now)?
