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.

Voting. Hahahahahahaha.

Get money out of the process and then he thinks that voting matters. What a buffoon.

This is electioneering. It's an industry. There's so much money in it because it's a racket. They setup false debate, nothing issues, scripted campaign stops. The press fawns over it all. Reads into every meaningless gesture and even the color of clothing and inflection of voice. It's total bullshit.

Campaign donations are for paying electioneering operatives. It's not for peddling influence for policy and bureaucratic positioning. That's an entirely different racket called lobbying. And the people that make the rules are never elected. Their rulings can't be questioned. There are no debates. It's just lobbyists and regulators.

Can somebody explain why political campaigns need so much money in the internet age?  If speech now is really free, why do both parties now raise more money than ever before?  Why is each successive Presidential race more expensive than the last?

If somebody with money is interested in real change, here is my idea, which I will give out for free.  Form a foundation that has a single purpose: to eliminate political parties and produce a single candidate in each electoral district who has been vetted through an internet-based selection process.  The foundation's advertising budget would not be used to solicit votes for these candidates.  Rather, it would be like the anti-smoking commercials, telling Americans that if they sit on their couches and expect to get good information about candidates through television commercials paid for by wealthy and corporate interests then they deserve the government they have been getting.  It would tell them to go to a website where candidates would vie for their "vote".  The voting would be by internet and would use a run-off process to winnow the field to two or three candidates.  Eventually one candidate in each district would win and that candidate would be placed on the ballot.

This candidate, regardless of who he/she is or what their views are about particular issues, would automatically have the distinction of being corruption-proof.  They would be prohibited from receiving any campaign contributions and, in any event, they would not need any because they would not be allowed to campain via traditional media outlets.  Rather, they would be limited to communicating their needs through this single website.  The webiste, with money from the foundation, would continue to get viewers through traditional media advertsing, until word of mouth made the site as popular as google.

bkboy,

Your intent is noble and for that I commend you. I hope you won't mind a tired old fart telling you however that he thinks the idea perhaps a little bit naive.

The point of the money in an election is to exclude most of the people who are not qualified from running in the first place, of whom, Barack Hussein Obamba has to be the poster boy.

If you get rid of the money, which acts as an effective selection screening, you would end up with what the Republican party has going on this year multiplied by 100.

That is, lots of quasi to semi qualified people all running thier yap simultaneously. That is chaos.

The way it works now is that you need to form an organization (not by any means easy since it takes lots of money), then you have to go across to all the rich people in America (who like it or not, got that way by organizaing chaos into order and making a profit doing so) and convince them you are not going to fuck the dog and they should part with a big fat check instead of giving it to the other candidate who is twice as qualified.

I don't know that I totally agree with the system, but that is why I advocate (uselessly) donating to political campaigns. If enough people sent donations of even $100, it would drown or at least balance the big money.

But then again, I am full of shit with damn near 100% efficiency, so maybe your way is best after all.

So candidates stand up and tell people that if you elect them they are going to do this, this, and this.  After the election they do none of it and it is somehow everyone else's fault including the people that didn't vote.  Mind boggling.  Your guy got elected.  How did the non voters screw that up???

Same shit, different year. Toward the end of Bush's 8 year debacle none of the people who voted for him would attest to their folly either.

The point to note in all of this is that no matter which candidate wins, Wall Street, Bankers, the MIC, Big Pharma, Big Ag and all of the other enterenched powerful scumbags win and everyone else loses. So, let's get back to fighting over meaningless, divisive, left/right stupid shit so things never change.

It was all there for everyone to see. All he had to do was click the remote over to FOX a couple of times. All the other channels are dishing GOP dirt 24/7 while annointing Obama as a God-like politician.

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

Yeah have the Lawyers fix it that'll work.

I don't see a lot of specifics Solutions the man formerly known as the "Artist".

He is a kind of Whistleblower without a lot of specifics, but seems you never want to whistleblow the US President... at least not the kind in a public forum complaint. Maybe a little one on one would have satisfied Obama.

Circumstances out of his control? Well that is what all leaders end up with and are judged by. Responsibility is supposed to go to the Top. But 'fake' leaders just want to be in charge, to look royal, to look important, and not to be questioned.

Systemic Fake Leadership is a Conspiracy Fact in the USA.
Systemic Fake Education
Systemic Fake Media
Systemic Fake Bank Reform
Systemic Fake Anti-trust Enforcement
Systemic Fake SEC, DOJ, FBI, FINRA, FDIC, OCC Enforcement

Systemic Fake Wistleblower Protection

But the Racketeering and Systemic Degradation of the US Constitution, High Courts, High Offices, and National Elections IS REAL.

with this:

I met a pilot one time that was a real asshole. He was military, but don't know how many black missions he did or if he was CIA. It could be that State Department & Army Pilots do a lot of the Helicopter work for CIA and the Air Force does the big planes.

I guess a person would start to feel important taking care of big planes and working black missions. Well I guess military pilots are known for having inflated senses of themselves.

Well it is all over the military probably. Flying is probably one of the better jobs and you get officer treatment.

You put water in the tank.  water sinks and stays separate so hits the intake and vehicle won't run.  Guy eventually drains tank, no trace unless really analysing.  vehicle runs again upon refilling tank, no damage to engine - just another mystery.  just saying, you never know.

no matter what promises you make on the campaign trail - blah, blah, blah - when you win, you go into this smoky room with the twelve industrialist, capitalist scumfucks that got you in there, and this little screen comes down... and it's a shot of the Kennedy assassination from an angle you've never seen before, which looks suspiciously off the grassy knoll.... And then the screen comes up, the lights come on, and they say to the new president, 'Any questions?'

"Just what my agenda is."

Elections are so ridiculous.  The voters break down into 3 groups of approximately equal size:  Those who are fooled all the time, those who can be fooled some of the time, and those who are hard to fool.  From the get go, they can just scratch out the third that is hard to fool.  They have rock solid support from the third that is fooled all the time.  The whole election is about winning more than half of the third that can be fooled some of the time.  Telling the truth about where they stand on the issues just doesn't make any sense.  They tell the people whatever they need to tell them to win the votes of more than half of the voters who can be fooled.  Once elected, they go ahead and do what they want to do.

At least I like the jews who donate their own money to their pet liberal projects and don't try to game the government to extract juice from the gentiles to donate on their behalf because they are way too fucking avaricious to give of their own to the causes they supposedly care most about.

Oh yeah, and except those jews who are too chickenshit to wield a gun in their own defense and would prefer to steal money from the gentiles via taxation to ban guns in general thereby just about guaranteeing they get the shit kicked out of them every 100 years or so no matter where they go.

But apart from those two groups of jews, I like the rest. All 791 of them.

Is any of Magna Carta in force today?
Clause 40 states that everyone is equal in the eyes of the law.

Ironically on its 800th anniversary we find bankers are above the law like the absolute monarchs of old.

Maggie used the law to curb union power but bankers are above the law, so what can be done?

March them down to Runnymede for a re-signing of the Magna Carta.

 

We will need a special amended copy of the Magna Carta for the 800th anniversary celebrations.

Clause 40 states that everyone is equal in the eyes of the law (and added in red crayon) apart from bankers and well, fraud is a bit tricky isn't it, sometimes it's OK and sometimes it isn't, it just depends on who is defrauding who, you know.

Rand Paul says he is going to sink the Patriot Act, which should never have been made into law to begin with.

Obama is using the fear tactic, "Oh God, those damn terrorists. We will never catch them without our beloved traitor act. Then somebody is going to DIE"

Patriot Act is there to catch you hoarding money and if you have enough cash they will relieve you of it without charges most of the time.

People will believe the Droner in Chief as Rand is Paul's son and everyone knows they are oddballs /sarc
