*Mendacious War Criminal Obama’s Final Speech To The UN General Assembly*

America’s mendacious, serial invader, war criminal, climate criminal and
human rights-violating President Barack Obama made his last speech to the
UN General Assembly on 20 September 2016, a speech characterized by massive
lying by omission that is far, far worse than lying by commission because
the latter can at least be refuted and subject to public debate. As
revealed by Edward Snowden, America spies on everyone in America and the
world, but Obama managed to comprehensively ignore a veritable Herd of
Elephants in the Room as detailed in the following analysis of his last UN
speech. As Dr Paul Craig Roberts has stated: “Washington lies about
everything”.
The transcript of President Obama’s final speech to the UN [1] is
reproduced below with key matters he has ignored set out succinctly in
square brackets, together with appropriate detailed documentation.
*PRESIDENT OBAMA: *
1. Mr. President; Mr. Secretary General; fellow delegates; ladies and
gentlemen: As I address this hall as President for the final time, let me
recount the progress that we’ve made these last eight years.
[The atmospheric CO2 concentration has increased to 405 ppm CO2 and is
increasing at a record 3 ppm CO2 per year; a catastrophic plus 2C
temperature rise is now unavoidable, plus 1.5C may occur by 2020, and the
current plus 1C is already catastrophic for tropical Island States and
megadelta countries like Bangladesh [2]; the coal-to-gas conversion by the
US under Obama locks in disastrous long-term greenhouse gas (GHG) pollution
[3]; 17 million people die avoidably from deprivation each year, about half
of them children [4]; 7 million die from air pollution each year [5, 6];
the US Alliance has invaded 20 overwhelmingly or significantly Muslim
countries since the US Government’s 9-11 false flag atrocity, this being
associated with 32 million Muslim deaths from violence (5 million) or from
war- or hegemony-imposed deprivation (27 million) [7, 8] ].
1. From the depths of the greatest financial crisis of our time, we
coordinated our response to avoid further catastrophe and return the global
economy to growth. We’ve taken away terrorist safe havens, strengthened
the nonproliferation regime, resolved the Iranian nuclear issue through
diplomacy. We opened relations with Cuba, helped Colombia end Latin
America’s longest war, and we welcome a democratically elected leader of
Myanmar to this Assembly. Our assistance is helping people feed
themselves, care for the sick, power communities across Africa, and promote
models of development rather than dependence. And we have made
international institutions like the World Bank and the International
Monetary Fund more representative, while establishing a framework to
protect our planet from the ravages of climate change.
[US-complicit military coups in Honduras, Ukraine and Egypt; US-complicit
parliamentary coup in Brazil; US Alliance military intervention in 20
countries this century associated with the active or passive killing of 32
million Muslims[4, 7, 9-12] ; after the Global Financial Crisis the US
rewarded the banker criminals whereas Iceland sent them all to jail; the US
Alliance devastated Libya, formerly the richest country in Africa, and
devastated secular Syria, converting half the population to refugees in a
country that was formerly the world’s leading country for per capita
hosting of refugees [9]; the US Alliance created ISIS in Iraq [11] and
backed ISIS in Syria against the secular Assad Government in the interests
of Apartheid Israel, US hegemony and a “Sunni gas pipeline” from Qatar to
the Mediterranean [13]; while Iran has no nuclear weapons and declares it
does not want them, US-backed Apartheid Israel has as many as 400 nuclear
weapons and acquired them with US assistance [14]].
1. This is important work. It has made a real difference in the lives
of our people. And it could not have happened had we not worked together.
And yet, around the globe we are seeing the same forces of global
integration that have made us interdependent also expose deep fault lines
in the existing international order.
[Under the existing international order 17 million people die avoidably
from deprivation each year on Spaceship Earth with a Neocon American and
Zionist Imperialist (NAZI)-beholden US Government in charge of the flight
deck [4]; America with 4% of the world’s population consumes 25% of its
resources; the variously dissident BRICS countries (Brazil, Russia, India,
China and South Africa) have moved toward an alternative, radical
proposition derived from the American Declaration of Independence,
specifically that “all men are created equal”].
1. We see it in the headlines every day. Around the world, refugees
flow across borders in flight from brutal conflict. Financial disruptions
continue to weigh upon our workers and entire communities. Across vast
swaths of the Middle East, basic security, basic order has broken down. We
see too many governments muzzling journalists, and quashing dissent, and
censoring the flow of information. Terrorist networks use social media to
prey upon the minds of our youth, endangering open societies and spurring
anger against innocent immigrants and Muslims. Powerful nations contest
the constraints placed on them by international law.
[There are 65 million refugees in the world today, half being Muslims
fleeing genocidal US Alliance wars in their countries [9]; the US and US
Alliance countries are exceptionalist, ignore international law and
currently invade some 20 impoverished and largely or substantially Muslim
countries at will [7, 9]; the Obama Administrations and their lackey US
Alliance countries have been complicit in “muzzling journalists, and
quashing dissent, and censoring the flow of information” as illustrated by
the conduct of US –backed regimes throughout the world, through the
“manufacturing consent” by compliant US and US Alliance Mainstream media
[15-17], and, notoriously, by the US in relation to remorselessly
pursuing the world hero whistle-blowers Chelsea Manning, Edward Snowden
and Julian Assange].
1. This is the paradox that defines our world today. A quarter century
after the end of the Cold War, the world is by many measures less violent
and more prosperous than ever before, and yet our societies are filled with
uncertainty, and unease, and strife. Despite enormous progress, as people
lose trust in institutions, governing becomes more difficult and tensions
between nations become more quick to surface.
[People have lost trust in the mendacity of governments that is well
illustrated by the comprehensive mendacity of the Obama Administrations as
outlined here; the US Center for Public Integrity found that the Bush
Administration told 935 lies between 9-11 and the invasion of Iraq [18];
Pullitzer Prize-wining journalist Seymour Hersh dismissed Obama’s “official
story” of the extra-judicial killing of Osama bin-Laden as a pack of lies
except for the killing [19] – Dr Paul Craig Roberts went one further and
stated that even the asserted killing of Osama bin-Laden was a lie [20];
numerous science, engineering, architecture, aviation, military and
intelligence experts reject the “lying Bush official version” of 9-11 [8]
but Obama accepts it , strongly opposed release of documents revealing
Saudi complicity in 9-11, and is resolutely opposed to legislation allowing
the relatives of 9-11 victims to sue foreign governments over their loss;
lying and secrecy mean that Obama and the US Establishment are accessories
after the fact of the 9-11 atrocity].
1. And so I believe that at this moment we all face a choice. We can
choose to press forward with a better model of cooperation and
integration. Or we can retreat into a world sharply divided, and
ultimately in conflict, along age-old lines of nation and tribe and race
and religion.
[The US has long rejected “age-old lines of nation” in relation to other
nations, and since 1776 has invaded over 70 nations [21]; with US troops on
the ground in Syria, the US presently has military bases in 75 nations
[23]; the US Alliance has been invading and devastating Muslim countries
since the US Government’s 9-11 false flag atrocity, this being associated
with 32 million Muslim deaths from violence (5 million) or from war- or
hegemony-imposed deprivation (27 million) [7, 9]; the Neocon American and
Zionist Imperialist (NAZI)-perverted and subverted US backs nuclear
terrorist, racist Zionist (RZ)-run, genocidally racist,
democracy-by-genocide Apartheid Israel that is obscenely based “along
age-old lines of nation and tribe and race and religion”; the long-term
accrual cost of US support for Apartheid Israel is at least $40 trillion
[24]; in one of his last acts as president, Obama announced a $38 billion
military package for serial war criminal Apartheid Israel over the next
decade [25]].
1. I want to suggest to you today that we must go forward, and not
backward. I believe that as imperfect as they are, the principles of open
markets and accountable governance, of democracy and human rights and
international law that we have forged remain the firmest foundation for
human progress in this century. I make this argument not based on theory
or ideology, but on facts — facts that all too often, we forget in the
immediacy of current events.
[The “open markets” espoused by Obama is theory and ideology; Professor
Lord Nicholas Stern has described climate change inaction as the greatest
market failure in human history [26]; the presently dominant economic
ideology of neoliberalism means maximizing the freedom of the smart and
advantaged to exploit natural and human resources for private profit [27,
28], and has evidently failed, as evidenced by a continuing financial
crisis, a worsening climate emergency (already catastrophic for some
countries) and a worsening climate genocide that will see 10 billion people
perishing this century if climate change is not requisitely addressed [29]].
1. Here’s the most important fact: The integration of our global
economy has made life better for billions of men, women and children. Over
the last 25 years, the number of people living in extreme poverty has been
cut from nearly 40 percent of humanity to under 10 percent. That’s
unprecedented. And it’s not an abstraction. It means children have enough
to eat; mothers don’t die in childbirth..
[According to World Hunger: “ The United Nations Food and Agriculture
Organization estimates that about 795 million people of the 7.3 billion
people in the world, or one in nine, were suffering from chronic
undernourishment in 2014-2016. Almost all the hungry people, 780 million,
live in developing countries, representing 12.9 percent, or one in eight,
of the population of developing counties” [30], i.e. in 2014-2016 about 11%
of the world suffered chronic undernourishment. 17 million people die
avoidably each year from deprivation in the Developing World minus China ,
about half being children [4]. According to the World Bank “According to
the most recent estimates, in 2012, 12.7 percent of the world’s population
lived at or below $1.90 a day. That’s down from 37 percent in 1990 and 44
percent in 1981. This means that, in 2012, 896 million people lived on less
than $1.90 a day, compared with 1.95 billion in 1990, and 1.99 billion in
1981 ” [31] ].
1. Meanwhile, cracking the genetic code promises to cure diseases that
have plagued us for centuries. The Internet can deliver the entirety of
human knowledge to a young girl in a remote village on a single hand-held
device. In medicine and in manufacturing, in education and communications,
we’re experiencing a transformation of how human beings live on a scale
that recalls the revolutions in agriculture and industry. And as a result,
a person born today is more likely to be healthy, to live longer, and to
have access to opportunity than at any time in human history.
[Obama’s optimistic Eurocentric vision does not apply to the Third Word in
which 17 million people die avoidably from deprivation and
deprivation-exacerbated disease each year [4]; there is a worsening climate
genocide that will see 10 billion people perishing this century if climate
change is not requisitely addressed [29]].
1. Moreover, the collapse of colonialism and communism has allowed more
people than ever before to live with the freedom to choose their leaders.
Despite the real and troubling areas where freedom appears in retreat, the
fact remains that the number of democracies around the world has nearly
doubled in the last 25 years.
[Obama as a serial war criminal and serial invader has an appalling record
of denying numerous nations “the freedom to choose their leaders” – under
Obama the US Alliance has invaded 20 overwhelmingly or significantly Muslim
countries since the US Government’s 9-11 false flag atrocity, this ongoing
Muslim Holocaust and Muslim Genocide being associated with 32 million
Muslim deaths from violence (5 million) or from war- or hegemony-imposed
deprivation (27 million) since the US Government’s 9-11 false-flag atrocity
in 2001 [7-9]; under Obama the US has backed the removal of
democratically-elected government in Honduras and the Ukraine and of a
democratically-elected president in Brazil; under Obama the US continues to
subvert every nation on earth; most democracies are faux democracies in
which Big Money has replaced Democracy with Plutocracy, Kleptocracy,
Murdochracy, Lobbyocracy, Corporatocracy and Dollarocracy in which Big
Money purchases people, politicians, parties, public perception of reality,
political power and thence more private profit – with much of this Big
Money coming from tax-avoiding US corporations].
1. In remote corners of the world, citizens are demanding respect for
the dignity of all people no matter their gender, or race, or religion, or
disability, or sexual orientation, and those who deny others dignity are
subject to public reproach. An explosion of social media has given
ordinary people more ways to express themselves, and has raised people’s
expectations for those of us in power. Indeed, our international order has
been so successful that we take it as a given that great powers no longer
fight world wars; that the end of the Cold War lifted the shadow of nuclear
Armageddon; that the battlefields of Europe have been replaced by peaceful
union; that China and India remain on a path of remarkable growth.
[The overwhelmingly dominant One Percenter-owned Mainstream media are still
deceiving the people and “manufacturing consent” [15]; the nuclear threat
remains – the upper estimates of stored nuclear weapons are as follows:
US (7,315), Russia (8,000), Apartheid Israel (400), France (300), UK (250),
China (250), Pakistan (120), India (100), and North Korea (less than 10)
[32]; under Obama the US backed a neo-Nazi coup in the Ukraine and has
escalated military confrontation in Eastern Europe leading to serious
fears of a nuclear and terminal WW3 [33, 34]; the rapid economic growth of
the populous countries China and India means that CO2 pollution is
increasing at a record 3 ppm CO2 per year, although the annual per capita
greenhouse gas (GHG) pollution in tonnes CO2-equivalent per person per
year is 8.9 (world average), 41.0 (US), 7.4 (China) and 2.1 (India) [35,
36].
1. I say all this not to whitewash the challenges we face, or to suggest
complacency. Rather, I believe that we need to acknowledge these
achievements in order to summon the confidence to carry this progress
forward and to make sure that we do not abandon those very things that have
delivered this progress.
[See point #11. Obama is whitewashing the nuclear, poverty and climate
change threats [32, 33] – indeed Boycotts, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS)
should be applied against the worst GHG polluting countries [35, 36] and
all countries that refuse to join the present 127 nations who support the
Nuclear Weapons Ban [34]].
1. In order to move forward, though, we do have to acknowledge that the
existing path to global integration requires a course correction. As too
often, those trumpeting the benefits of globalization have ignored
inequality within and among nations; have ignored the enduring appeal of
ethnic and sectarian identities; have left international institutions
ill-equipped, underfunded, under-resourced, in order to handle
transnational challenges.
[Obama is egregiously guilty of such “ignoring” e.g. ignoring the 17
million people who die avoidably from deprivation each year, about half of
them children [4] and, within the US, the over 27% of African Americans
who live in poverty [37]].
1. And as these real problems have been neglected, alternative visions
of the world have pressed forward both in the wealthiest countries and in
the poorest: Religious fundamentalism; the politics of ethnicity, or
tribe, or sect; aggressive nationalism; a crude populism — sometimes from
the far left, but more often from the far right — which seeks to restore
what they believe was a better, simpler age free of outside contamination.
[Under serial invader and serial war criminal Obama an “exceptionalist” US
has continued “aggressive nationalism” with the US Alliance invading 20
overwhelmingly or significantly Muslim countries since the US Government’s
9-11 false flag atrocity, this being associated with 32 million Muslim
deaths from violence (5 million) or from war- or hegemony-imposed
deprivation (27 million) [7, 8] ]; “religious fundamentalism; the politics
of ethnicity, or tribe, or sect; aggressive nationalism; a crude populism”
are exhibited by US-backed, nuclear terrorist, racist Zionist-run,
genocidally racist, democracy-by-genocide, neo-Nazi Apartheid Israel in its
ongoing Palestinian Genocide [10] and its powerful espousal via the
Zionist Lobby of the ongoing Muslim Holocaust and Muslim Genocide [7-9, 11,
12]].
1. We cannot dismiss these visions. They are powerful. They reflect
dissatisfaction among too many of our citizens. I do not believe those
visions can deliver security or prosperity over the long term, but I do
believe that these visions fail to recognize, at a very basic level, our
common humanity. Moreover, I believe that the acceleration of travel and
technology and telecommunications — together with a global economy that
depends on a global supply chain — makes it self-defeating ultimately for
those who seek to reverse this progress. Today, a nation ringed by walls
would only imprison itself.
[“Dissatisfaction among too many of our citizens” – the “too many” have an
awful lot to be dissatisfied about both globally and domestically in the
US. Thus globally nearly 1 billion live in dire poverty and suffer chronic
malnourishment [30, 31] with 17 million dying from deprivation annually,
about half being children [4], and the Muslim world subject to a Muslim
Holocaust and Muslim Genocide in which there have been 32 million Muslim
deaths from violence (5 million) or from war- or hegemony-imposed
deprivation (27 million) since the US Government’s 9-11 false-flag atrocity
in 2001 [7, 8]. Domestically, 1.7 million Americans die preventably each
year, this carnage being inescapably linked to the fiscal perversions of
the $40 trillion long-term accrual cost of Apartheid Israel to America [38]
and successive Neocon American and Zionist Imperialist (NAZI)-perverted
Administrations committing trillions of dollars to killing Muslims abroad
in the War on Terror (the War on Muslims) rather than keeping Americans
alive at home [39]. American incomes have flat-lined for decades of course,
as for African Americans under America’s first black president, 27% live
in poverty, *African American wealth is about 5 times lower than that of
Whites, millions of African Americans are excluded from voting, African
Americans are 8 times more likely to murder and 6 times more likely to be
murdered than Whites, Educational Apartheid has meant return of Segregation
with a vengeance, and African Americans and Hispanic Americans have
about half their “fair share” of representatives in Congress and 5-6
times less Congressional representation than Jewish Americans (despite
being collectively about 10 times more population-wise) [37]].*
1. So the answer cannot be a simple rejection of global integration.
Instead, we must work together to make sure the benefits of such
integration are broadly shared, and that the disruptions — economic,
political, and cultural — that are caused by integration are squarely
addressed. This is not the place for a detailed policy blueprint, but let
me offer in broad strokes those areas where I believe we must do better
together.
[“Global integration” means that manufacturing jobs go to where the wages
are lowest in a new version of slavery that ignores the fundamental human
right to a decent life. The British (a) abolished slavery in Britain when
rural Enclosures generated the effective slavery of a minimum wage
industrial working class; (b) later replaced slavery in the British
colonies by minimally paid “indentured labour” (e.g. the “5-year slavery of
Indian indentured labour in Fiji that finally ceased in 1922 [40] ); and
(c) today exploit Third World labour by the effective slavery of “global
integration” ].
1. It starts with making the global economy work better for all people
and not just for those at the top. While open markets, capitalism have
raised standards of living around the globe, globalization combined with
rapid progress and technology has also weakened the position of workers and
their ability to secure a decent wage. In advanced economies like my own,
unions have been undermined, and many manufacturing jobs have disappeared.
Often, those who benefit most from globalization have used their political
power to further undermine the position of workers.
[In the US the average wage has flat-lined in real terms for decades but
the One Percenter and Ten Percenter share of annual income has steadily
increased for decades, this phenomenon also obtaining elsewhere in the
Anglosphere [41-43].
1. In developing countries, labor organizations have often been
suppressed, and the growth of the middle class has been held back by
corruption and underinvestment. Mercantilist policies pursued by
governments with export-driven models threaten to undermine the consensus
that underpins global trade. And meanwhile, global capital is too often
unaccountable — nearly $8 trillion stashed away in tax havens, a shadow
banking system that grows beyond the reach of effective oversight.
[US corporations are massively involved in egregious global tax avoidance
which contributes to the inequity that in turn drives the Global Avoidable
Mortality Holocaust in which 17 million people die avoidably from
deprivation every year [4]. By backing anti-democratic neofascist and
neoliberal regimes around the world, America, including the US under Obama,
massively contributes to suppression of labour organizations].
1. A world in which one percent of humanity controls as much wealth as
the other 99 percent will never be stable. I understand that the gaps
between rich and poor are not new, but just as the child in a slum today
can see the skyscraper nearby, technology now allows any person with a
smartphone to see how the most privileged among us live and the contrast
between their own lives and others. Expectations rise, then, faster than
governments can deliver, and a pervasive sense of injustice undermine
people’s faith in the system.
[But in harsh reality Obama is part of the One Percent, represents the One
Percent politically and is dedicated to the deceit, manipulation and
variously egregiously violent suppression of the 99%].
1. So how do we fix this imbalance? We cannot unwind integration any
more than we can stuff technology back into a box. Nor can we look to
failed models of the past. If we start resorting to trade wars, market
distorting subsidies, beggar thy neighbor policies, an overreliance on
natural resources instead of innovation — these approaches will make us
poorer, collectively, and they are more like to lead to conflict. And the
stark contrast between, say, the success of the Republic of Korea and the
wasteland of North Korea shows that central, planned control of the economy
is a dead end.
[Professor Thomas Piketty in his seminal book “Capital in the Twenty-First
Century” argues that gross inequity damages democracy (Big Money buys
votes) and damages the economy (the poor cannot afford to buy the goods and
services they produce) . Piketty argues for wealth transparency and a
global annual wealth tax of up to 10% [41, 42], noting that France has an
annual wealth tax of up to 1.5% and Islam has had an annual wealth tax of
2.5% (zakkat) for 1,400 years [43]. It is estimated that an annual
global wealth tax of 4% could abolish the Global Avoidable Mortality
Holocaust and prevent 17 million people from dying avoidably from
deprivation every year – an annual global wealth tax of about 4% would
yield US$16 trillion annually and enable raising all countries to annual
per capita incomes equivalent to the $6,000 per person per year of China
and Cuba, countries for which annual avoidable mortality is zero (0) [44].
One can well understand why One Percenter Obama ignores the wealth tax
option. As for North Korea, it has been subject to frightening military
hostility from the genocidally violent US for about 70 years, and US
bombing in 1950-1953 killed 28% of the population [45]].
1. But I do believe there’s another path — one that fuels growth and
innovation, and offers the clearest route to individual opportunity and
national success. It does not require succumbing to a soulless capitalism
that benefits only the few, but rather recognizes that economies are more
successful when we close the gap between rich and poor, and growth is
broadly based. And that means respecting the rights of workers so they can
organize into independent unions and earn a living wage. It means
investing in our people — their skills, their education, their capacity to
take an idea and turn it into a business. It means strengthening the
safety net that protects our people from hardship and allows them to take
more risks — to look for a new job, or start a new venture.
[Great rhetoric from a neoliberal, corporatist, One Percenter president
Obama under whom 1.7 million Americans die preventably every year [39]].
1. These are the policies that I’ve pursued here in the United States,
and with clear results. American businesses have created now 15 million
new jobs. After the recession, the top one percent of Americans were
capturing more than 90 percent of income growth. But today, that’s down to
about half. Last year, poverty in this country fell at the fastest rate in
nearly 50 years. And with further investment in infrastructure and early
childhood education and basic research, I’m confident that such progress
will continue.
[One Percenter Obama is boasting that the One Percenters “only” captured
45% of income growth after the recession].
1. So just as I’ve pursued these measures here at home, so has the
United States worked with many nations to curb the excesses of capitalism —
not to punish wealth, but to prevent repeated crises that can destroy it.
That’s why we’ve worked with other nations to create higher and clearer
standards for banking and taxation — because a society that asks less of
oligarchs than ordinary citizens will rot from within. That’s why we’ve
pushed for transparency and cooperation in rooting out corruption, and
tracking illicit dollars, because markets create more jobs when they’re
fueled by hard work, and not the capacity to extort a bribe. That’s why
we’ve worked to reach trade agreements that raise labor standards and raise
environmental standards, as we’ve done with the Trans-Pacific Partnership,
so that the benefits are more broadly shared.
[The Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) is supported by US corporations but
opposed by both Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton because it will export
American jobs to low wage countries. The TPP is opposed by thoughtful
pro-environment people in the Pacific Rim because it will enable US
corporations to successfully sue governments for losses due to
pro-environment legislation and other pro-environment actions].
1. And just as we benefit by combating inequality within our countries,
I believe advanced economies still need to do more to close the gap between
rich and poor nations around the globe. This is difficult politically.
It’s difficult to spend on foreign assistance. But I do not believe this
is charity. For the small fraction of what we spent at war in Iraq we
could support institutions so that fragile states don’t collapse in the
first place, and invest in emerging economies that become markets for our
goods. It’s not just the right thing to do, it’s the smart thing to do.
[For the serial war criminal US to stop perverting, subverting, invading
and devastating “fragile states” would be an obvious way of preventing them
from collapsing. Thus the US Alliance under Obama has been war criminally
invading and devastating 20 substantially or significantly Muslim
countries, impoverished nations in which 32 million Muslims have died from
violence (5 million) or from hegemony- and war-imposed deprivation (27
million) since 2001 [4, 7, 9]. The US-led France, UK and US (FUKUS)
Coalition devastated Libya (0.1 million dead, 1 million refugees). Libya
was formerly the richest country in Africa [4, 7, 9]].
1. And that’s why we need to follow through on our efforts to combat
climate change. If we don’t act boldly, the bill that could come due will
be mass migrations, and cities submerged and nations displaced, and food
supplies decimated, and conflicts born of despair. The Paris Agreement
gives us a framework to act, but only if we scale up our ambition. And
there must be a sense of urgency about bringing the agreement into force,
and helping poorer countries leapfrog destructive forms of energy.
[The atmospheric CO2 concentration is now 405 ppm CO2 and increasing at a
record 3 ppm CO2 per year; the species extinction rate is now 100-1,000
times greater than normal, this giving rise to the term Anthropocene to
describe the present era and the speciescide and ecocide, leading to
omnicide and terracide – the killing of our Living Planet; coral reefs
are hugely important ocean ecosystems, but they started bleaching
worldwide when the atmospheric CO2 reached 320 ppm CO2, are endangered at
the current 405 ppm CO2, and are essentially doomed in a mere 15 years’
time at the 450 ppm CO2 predicted from the current increase at 3 ppm CO2
per year. The annual per capita greenhouse gas (GHG) pollution in tonnes
CO2-equivalent per person per year is 8.9 (world average), 41.0 (US), 7.4
(China) and 2.1 (India) [35, 36]. Paris-recognized as catastrophic, a plus
2C temperature rise is now unavoidable and the present circa plus 1C is
already disastrous for tropical Island Nations and tropical mega-delta
countries like Bangladesh [1, 2]. Indeed the lower Paris “target” of no
more than plus 1.5C may be exceeded as early as 2020 [46]]. Under Obama the
US has embarked on a massive coal-to-gas transition that locks in dirty
energy for decades and due to systemic gas leakage, gas burning for power
could be dirtier GHG-wise than coal burning [47-50].
1. So, for the wealthiest countries, a Green Climate Fund should only be
the beginning. We need to invest in research and provide market incentives
to develop new technologies, and then make these technologies accessible
and affordable for poorer countries. And only then can we continue lifting
all people up from poverty without condemning our children to a planet
beyond their capacity to repair.
[Not mentioned by Obama, we urgently need to stop burning carbon fuels,
deforestation, methanogenic livestock production and population growth now.
It is already too late to avoid massive damage. “Condemning our children
to a planet beyond their capacity to repair” has effectively already
happened. Thus assuming a damage-related Carbon Price in US Dollars of
$200 per tonne CO2-equivalent (as estimated by Dr Chris Hope of
90-Nobel-Laureate University of Cambridge), the World has n inescapable
Carbon Debt of $360 trillion that is increasing at $13 trillion per year,
and, for example, US lackey, climate criminal Australia, a world-leader in
annual per capita greenhouse (GHG) gas pollution, has a Carbon Debt of
$7.5 trillion that is increasing at $400 billion per year and at $40,000
per head per year for under-30 year old Australians. Young people will
inescapably have to pay this huge and increasing Carbon Debt – thus unless
gigantic 20 meter sea walls are built, coastal cities will drown [47].
Young people must wise up and demand urgent climate action [51-55] and
indeed a Climate Revolution now! [55]].
1. So we need new models for the global marketplace, models that are
inclusive and sustainable. And in the same way, we need models of
governance that are inclusive and accountable to ordinary people.
[ What gross deception and hypocrisy by Obama. American policy (“model of
governance”) has always been “might is right” when it comes to exploitable
resources. To that end, the US has invaded 71 countries, has military bases
in 75 and subverts every country on earth. Thus the Iraq War continued
under Obama and has now transmuted into an endless War on Terror due to the
US-provoked rise of ISIS in Iraq and US Alliance support for this barbarous
terrorist organization in Syria against the secular Assad regime. The US
allies Turkey, Qatar. Apartheid Israel and Saudi Arabia contributed
significantly to the rise ISIS in Syria, this being consonant with US
policy to remove the secular Assad regime. Alan Greenspan on the Right and
Noam Chomsky on the Left both say that the Iraq War was about oil. US
Establishment intimate Robert Kennedy Junior says that the Syrian War is in
essence about a “Sunni gas pipeline” from Qatar [13]].
1. I recognize not every country in this hall is going to follow the
same model of governance. I do not think that America can — or should —
impose our system of government on other countries. But there appears to
be growing contest between authoritarianism and liberalism right now. And
I want everybody to understand, I am not neutral in that contest. I
believe in a liberal political order — an order built not just through
elections and representative government, but also through respect for human
rights and civil society, and independent judiciaries and the rule of law.
[Further egregious hypocrisy. America has repeatedly imposed its “system of
government” on other countries [4, 13, 21]. America has invaded 71
countries, has military bases in 75 countries and indeed subverts all
countries in the world. Under war criminal Obama, the US Alliance has
invaded 20 countries [4, 21-23]. US drone strikes, targeted with the
help of US lackey Australia, are presently being conducted against Libya,
Somalia, Yemen, Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan. Indeed it seems
likely that world-leading US-Apartheid Israeli drone technology was
involved in the 9-11 attacks on the US itself (the alternative to this
hypothesis in the lying Bush “official version” of 9-11, to whit that
people learning to fly tiny, single-engined aircraft were able to land
huge passenger jets at high speed on a dime) [8]. How the US has
repeatedly “impose[d] our system of government on other countries” was
explained by former CIA operative Philip Agee in his book “CIA Diary.
Inside the Company” in relation to the US invasion of the Dominican
Republic [4] – invade, and then ban, imprison, torture, kill or exile
all those you don’t like and then hold “democratic elections” [56]].
1. I know that some countries, which now recognize the power of free
markets, still reject the model of free societies. And perhaps those of us
who have been promoting democracy feel somewhat discouraged since the end
of the Cold War, because we’ve learned that liberal democracy will not just
wash across the globe in a single wave. It turns out building accountable
institutions is hard work — the work of generations. The gains are often
fragile. Sometimes we take one step forward and then two steps back. In
countries held together by borders drawn by colonial powers, with ethnic
enclaves and tribal divisions, politics and elections can sometimes appear
to be a zero-sum game. And so, given the difficulty in forging true
democracy in the face of these pressures, it’s no surprise that some argue
the future favors the strongman, a top-down model, rather than strong,
democratic institutions.
[Obama’s “true democracy” in the West has degenerated into Big
Money-controlled Plutocracy, Kleptocracy, Murdochracy, Lobbyocracy,
Corporatocracy and Dollarocracy in which Big Money purchases people,
politicians, parties, public perception of reality, political power and
thence more private profit. Fundamentally, democracy is about practical
expression of the will of the people and in 1-party Cuba the desire of the
people for good governance, health, and education has been met – despite
decades of war criminal US sanctions, Cuba has excellent health services,
female literacy is high and infant mortality is the same as in the US [4]].
1. But I believe this thinking is wrong. I believe the road of true
democracy remains the better path. I believe that in the 21st century,
economies can only grow to a certain point until they need to open up —
because entrepreneurs need to access information in order to invent; young
people need a global education in order to thrive; independent media needs
to check the abuses of power. Without this evolution, ultimately
expectations of people will not be met; suppression and stagnation will set
in. And history shows that strongmen are then left with two paths —
permanent crackdown, which sparks strife at home, or scapegoating enemies
abroad, which can lead to war.
[War criminal Obama certainly knows about war – under war criminal Obama
the US Alliance has invaded 20 countries and civilized people dread the
prospect of a Hillary Clinton Administration in which she will set out to
prove that she is a “real man” by following and indeed exceeding Obama’s
murderous example].
1. Now, I will admit, my belief that governments serve the individual,
and not the other way around, is shaped by America’s story. Our nation
began with a promise of freedom that applied only to the few. But because
of our democratic Constitution, because of our Bill of Rights, because of
our ideals, ordinary people were able to organize, and march, and protest,
and ultimately, those ideals won out — opened doors for women and
minorities and workers in ways that made our economy more productive and
turned our diversity into a strength; that gave innovators the chance to
transform every area of human endeavor; that made it possible for someone
like me to be elected President of the United States.
[A blood-thirsty Simon Legree rather than a subservient Uncle Tom, One
Percenter Obama is the willing servant of the Neocon American and Zionist
Imperialist (NAZI)-dominated One Percenter Establishment running America.
Indeed Obama is a classic example of the embodiment of the dominant
“Whiteness” culture of America. For African Americans under America’s
first Black president, 27% live in poverty, *African American wealth is
about 5 times lower than that of Whites, millions of African Americans
are excluded from voting, African Americans are 8 times more likely to
murder and 6 times more likely to be murdered than Whites, Educational
Apartheid has meant return of Segregation with a vengeance, and African
Americans and Hispanic Americans have about half their “fair share” of
representatives in Congress and 5-6 times less Congressional
representation than Jewish Americans (despite being collectively about 10
times more populous) [37]].*
1. So, yes, my views are shaped by the specific experiences of America,
but I do not think this story is unique to America. Look at the
transformation that’s taken place in countries as different as Japan and
Chile, Indonesia, Botswana. The countries that have succeeded are ones in
which people feel they have a stake.
[However Obama’s asserted support for one-person-one-vote is contradicted
by his fanatical support for nuclear terrorist, racist Zionist-run,
genocidally racist, democracy-by-genocide, neo-Nazi Apartheid Israel that
denies 73% of its now 52% majority of Indigenous Palestinians the right to
vote for the government ruling them. Obama is a genocidal racist,
anti-Arab anti-Semite and pathological liar in his support for Apartheid
Israel in its ongoing Palestinian Genocide [10]].
1. In Europe, the progress of those countries in the former Soviet bloc
that embraced democracy stand in clear contrast to those that did not.
After all, the people of Ukraine did not take to the streets because of
some plot imposed from abroad. They took to the streets because their
leadership was for sale and they had no recourse. They demanded change
because they saw life get better for people in the Baltics and in Poland,
societies that were more liberal, and democratic, and open than their own.
[The neo-Nazi coup that overthrew the democratically elected government in
the Ukraine was backed by the US].
1. So those of us who believe in democracy, we need to speak out
forcefully, because both the facts and history, I believe, are on our
side. That doesn’t mean democracies are without flaws. It does mean that
the cure for what ails our democracies is greater engagement by our
citizens — not less.
[See point #32 – racist Obama supports Apartheid in Palestine just as his
racist presidential predecessors supported Apartheid in South Africa [4]].
1. Yes, in America, there is too much money in politics; too much
entrenched partisanship; too little participation by citizens, in part
because of a patchwork of laws that makes it harder to vote. In Europe, a
well-intentioned Brussels often became too isolated from the normal push
and pull of national politics. Too often, in capitals, decision-makers
have forgotten that democracy needs to be driven by civic engagement from
the bottom up, not governance by experts from the top down. And so these
are real problems, and as leaders of democratic governments make the case
for democracy abroad, we better strive harder to set a better example at
home.
[Under Barack “Simon Legree” Obama, millions of Black Americans are denied
the vote under anti-felony laws and according to Dr Michelle Alexander of
the NAACP, nearly 80% of adult male Black Americans in Chicago are denied
the right to vote [57, 58]].
1. Moreover, every country will organize its government informed by
centuries of history, and the circumstances of geography, and the deeply
held beliefs of its people. So I recognize a traditional society may value
unity and cohesion more than a diverse country like my own, which was
founded upon what, at the time, was a radical idea — the idea of the
liberty of individual human beings endowed with certain God-given rights.
But that does not mean that ordinary people in Asia, or Africa, or the
Middle East somehow prefer arbitrary rule that denies them a voice in the
decisions that can shape their lives. I believe that spirit is universal.
And if any of you doubt the universality of that desire, listen to the
voices of young people everywhere who call out for freedom, and dignity,
and the opportunity to control their own lives.
[Unfortunately, that asserted “liberty of the individual” in the
ostensibly marvellous 1776 American Declaration of Independence in
reality was freedom to invade, conquer, devastate and ethnically cleanse
Indigenous American lands – indeed the real purpose of the American War
of Independence was not “no taxation without representation” or “personal
liberty” but freedom to exterminate Indigenous Indians that had some
protection from the British in the context of the 18th century Anglo-French
war. [4]. By 1844 the United States, founded on the dream of genocide,
had legislated to remove all Indigenous Indians from East of the
Mississippi [4]].
1. This leads me to the third thing we need to do: We must reject any
forms of fundamentalism, or racism, or a belief in ethnic superiority that
makes our traditional identities irreconcilable with modernity. Instead we
need to embrace the tolerance that results from respect of all human beings.
[The ultimate expression of racism is war. Under war criminal Obama, the
US Alliance has invaded 20 countries [4, 21-23]. US drone strikes,
targetted with the help of US lackey Australia, are presently being
conducted against Libya, Somalia, Yemen, Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan and
Pakistan. Obama is one of the worst warmonger and war-making presidents and
hence one of the worst racists in American history [4]].
1. It’s a truism that global integration has led to a collision of
cultures; trade, migration, the Internet, all these things can challenge
and unsettle our most cherished identities. We see liberal societies
express opposition when women choose to cover themselves. We see protests
responding to Western newspaper cartoons that caricature the Prophet
Muhammad. In a world that left the age of empire behind, we see Russia
attempting to recover lost glory through force. Asian powers debate
competing claims of history. And in Europe and the United States, you see
people wrestle with concerns about immigration and changing demographics,
and suggesting that somehow people who look different are corrupting the
character of our countries.
[The people of Crimea overwhelmingly voted for linkage to Russia after the
US-backed neo-Nazi Coup in the Ukraine. Anti-Semite Obama backs the
genocidally racist, colonizer, and Apartheid rogue state of Israel in
its illegal occupation and ethnic cleansing of Arab lands].
1. Now, there’s no easy answer for resolving all these social forces,
and we must respect the meaning that people draw from their own traditions
— from their religion, from their ethnicity, from their sense of
nationhood. But I do not believe progress is possible if our desire to
preserve our identities gives way to an impulse to dehumanize or dominate
another group. If our religion leads us to persecute those of another
faith, if we jail or beat people who are gay, if our traditions lead us to
prevent girls from going to school, if we discriminate on the basis of race
or tribe or ethnicity, then the fragile bonds of civilization will fray.
The world is too small, we are too packed together, for us to be able to
resort to those old ways of thinking.
[Obama as a pluralist liberal simply doesn’t wash – he is a racist
warmonger heading a US Alliance that is making war in 20 impoverished
countries [4, 7-13]].
1. We see this mindset in too many parts of the Middle East. There, so
much of the collapse in order has been fueled because leaders sought
legitimacy not because of policies or programs but by resorting to
persecuting political opposition, or demonizing other religious sects, by
narrowing the public space to the mosque, where in too many places
perversions of a great faith were tolerated. These forces built up for
years, and are now at work helping to fuel both Syria’s tragic civil war
and the mindless, medieval menace of ISIL.
[ISIL (ISIS) arose directly from the Iraqi Genocide under the Bush and
Obama Administration that involved destruction of a modern state, 2.7
million Iraqi deaths from violence (1.5 million) or from war-imposed
deprivation (1.2 million), and massive disempowerment of the Iraqi Sunni
minority. The US created ISIS just as it created Al Qaeda and the Taliban.
ISIS in Syria has been enabled, funded and backed by US Alliance members
Turkey, Qatar and Saudi Arabia in particular. Muslim-origin non-state
terrorism is the greatest ally of US imperialism – every mindless atrocity
against Westerners is used as an excuse for vastly more deadly US Alliance
attacks on Muslim populations in 20 countries from the Western Sahel to
South East Asia. ISIS and similar groups have enabled US or US Alliance
military domination over a huge swathe of the Muslim world.
1. The mindset of sectarianism, and extremism, and blood-letting, and
retribution that has been taking place will not be quickly reversed. And
if we are honest, we understand that no external power is going to be able
to force different religious communities or ethnic communities to co-exist
for long. But I do believe we have to be honest about the nature of these
conflicts, and our international community must continue to work with those
who seek to build rather than to destroy.
[ America under anti-Arab anti-Semitic warmonger Obama has devastated a
swathe of Muslim countries [4, 7-13]].
1. And there is a military component to that. It means being united and
relentless in destroying networks like ISIL, which show no respect for
human life. But it also means that in a place like Syria, where there’s no
ultimate military victory to be won, we’re going to have to pursue the hard
work of diplomacy that aims to stop the violence, and deliver aid to those
in need, and support those who pursue a political settlement and can see
those who are not like themselves as worthy of dignity and respect.
[How disingenuous of Obama to say “and there is a military component to
that” in relation to his false assertion that the US and its allies “seek
to build rather than to destroy”. Obama seeks to change the government of
Syria and its efforts have killed 0.5 million Syrians, generated 12 million
refugees, and devastated what was once a peaceful, tolerant , secular
society in which numerous ancient faiths and sects got along peacefully
with each other as described in William Dalrymple’s superb book “From the
Holy Mountain” [59]].
1. Across the region’s conflicts, we have to insist that all parties
recognize a common humanity and that nations end proxy wars that fuel
disorder. Because until basic questions are answered about how communities
co-exist, the embers of extremism will continue to burn, countless human
beings will suffer — most of all in that region — but extremism will
continue to be exported overseas. And the world is too small for us to
simply be able to build a wall and prevent it from affecting our own
societies.
[The worst extremism being “exported overseas” is US imperialism and US
Alliance imperialism. The casus belli (excuse for war) is provided by
US-created or US-provoked Muslim-origin non-state terrorists such as the
barbarous ISIS whose outrageous conduct (beheadings, sex slaves, forced
conversions, religious fanaticism, and religious intolerance) could not
have been better scripted by the CIA. One is reminded of US-lead terrorist
groups in Ecuador who would bomb Catholic churches so that the socialists
would be blamed [56] and similar US-led Gladio atrocities in Europe that
were designed to be blamed on “communists” [60]. Numerous science,
engineering, architecture, medicine, aviation, military and intelligence
experts conclude that the US Government was responsible for the singular
9-11 atrocity in which 3,000 people died [8, 22, 61-63]). However
post-9-11 terror hysteria has been used to attack civil liberties in the US
and in the West in general. Reality: 53 American residents were killed in
America by “terrorists” in the 14 years since 9/11 and the average US
population in this period was about 304 million (UN Population Division
data). Accordingly, the “empirical annual probability of an American dying
in the US from terrorism” is 53/(14 years x 304 million) = about 1 in 100
million per year. In contrast, 1.7million American die preventably each
year as the Neocon American and Zionist Imperialist (NAZI)-subverted US
Government steadfastly looks the other way and scares the population with
saturation terror hysteria propaganda [64]].
1. And what is true in the Middle East is true for all of us. Surely,
religious traditions can be honored and upheld while teaching young people
science and math, rather than intolerance. Surely, we can sustain our
unique traditions while giving women their full and rightful role in the
politics and economics of a nation. Surely, we can rally our nations to
solidarity while recognizing equal treatment for all communities — whether
it’s a religious minority in Myanmar, or an ethnic minority in Burundi, or
a racial minority right here in the United States. And surely, Israelis
and Palestinians will be better off if Palestinians reject incitement and
recognize the legitimacy of Israel, but Israel recognizes that it cannot
permanently occupy and settle Palestinian land. We all have to do better
as leaders in tamping down, rather than encouraging, a notion of identity
that leads us to diminish others.
[Zionist lackey, anti-Arab anti-Semitic, pro-Apartheid, genocidally racist,
serial war criminal and pathological liar Obama obscenely blames the
victim with “Israelis and Palestinians will be better off if Palestinians
reject incitement and recognize the legitimacy of Israel”. The dishonest
political fiction of a “2-state solution” is now impossible with the
Zionist colonizers having ethnically cleansed 90% of Palestine in an
ongoing Palestinian Genocide by a nuclear terrorist, racist Zionist run,
genocidally racist, democracy by genocide Apartheid Israel that prevents
73% of its now 52% majority Indigenous Palestinian population from voting
for the government ruling it. The racist Zionists are now considering
only 2 options – (a) continued Apartheid with 73% of Occupied Palestinians
highly abusively confined to the Gaza Concentration Camp or West Bank
ghettoes or (b) outright genocidal expulsion of all or most Indigenous
Palestinian from Palestine (presently, of 12 million Indigenous
Palestinians about 50% are already totally excluded on pain of death from
living in their own country). Obama is committed to Israeli Apartheid and
the ongoing Palestinian Genocide as the front-man for the Neocon American
and Zionist Imperialist (NAZI)-perverted and subverted US political
Establishment [10]].
1. And this leads me to the fourth and final thing we need to do, and
that is sustain our commitment to international cooperation rooted in the
rights and responsibilities of nations.
[Obama as a serial invader and serial war criminal tramples on “the rights
and responsibilities of nations”, the UN Charter, the Universal Declaration
of Human Rights, the Rights of the Child, The UN Genocide Convention, the
Geneva Convention …].
1. As President of the United States, I know that for most of human
history, power has not been unipolar. The end of the Cold War may have led
too many to forget this truth. I’ve noticed as President that at times,
both America’s adversaries and some of our allies believe that all problems
were either caused by Washington or could be solved by Washington — and
perhaps too many in Washington believed that as well. (Laughter.) But I
believe America has been a rare superpower in human history insofar as it
has been willing to think beyond narrow self-interest; that while we’ve
made our share of mistakes over these last 25 years — and I’ve acknowledged
some — we have strived, sometimes at great sacrifice, to align better our
actions with our ideals. And as a consequence, I believe we have been a
force for good.
[Utter falsehood by a mendacious Obama who turns history on its head and
whitewashes decades of utterly evil American war crimes throughout the
world. Under Obama alone the US Alliance has invaded 20 countries in the
ongoing Muslim Genocide in the 21st century associated with 30 million
Muslim refugees and 32 million Muslim deaths from violence (5 million) or
from hegemony- or war-imposed deprivation (27 million) since the US
Government’s 9-11 false –flag atrocity [7-9]].
1. We have secured allies. We’ve acted to protect the vulnerable. We
supported human rights and welcomed scrutiny of our own actions. We’ve
bound our power to international laws and institutions. When we’ve made
mistakes, we’ve tried to acknowledge them. We have worked to roll back
poverty and hunger and disease beyond our borders, not just within our
borders.
[The US under Obama has backed military coups, been associated with
invasions of 20 countries, supported Apartheid and genocide in Palestine,
opposed nuclear disarmament, and grossly violated human rights at home and
abroad. Under Obama the coal-to-gas conversion by the US under Obama locks
in disastrous long-term greenhouse gas (GHG) pollution and hence climate
change inaction for decades [48, 49], 17 million people die avoidably
from deprivation each year, about half of them children [4], and 7 million
die from air pollution each year [5, 6]. The 3 key threats to humanity are
(a) nuclear weapons, (b) poverty and (c ) climate change but under Obama
(a) the US increased its nuclear threat, continued to back nuclear
terrorist Apartheid Israel and opposed the nuclear weapons ban advocated by
about 130 countries [14]; (b) the US supports poverty-entrenching
dictatorships, and of about $40 billion in annual US economic plus
military aid, about $10 billion is military aid (40% to Apartheid Israel)
and most of the remainder is linked to destructive US military
intervention; and (c) the pro-gas US is one of the worlds worst countries
for annual per capita GHG pollution in terms of tonnes CO2-equivalent per
person per year (41.0 for the US, 8.9 world average, China 7.4 and India
2.1) and for “income weighted annual per capita GHG pollution (US 207,
China 5.2 and India 0.3) [35, 36]].
1. I’m proud of that. But I also know that we can’t do this alone. And
I believe that if we’re to meet the challenges of this century, we are all
going to have to do more to build up international capacity. We cannot
escape the prospect of nuclear war unless we all commit to stopping the
spread of nuclear weapons and pursuing a world without them.
[ While imposing deadly Sanctions on Iran (that has zero nuclear weapons
and repeatedly states that it does not want nuclear weapons and wants a
nuclear weapons-free Middle East), the US (7,315 nuclear weapons) is
boosting its nuclear and conventional forces in Asia and Australia, opposes
a nuclear weapons ban, and continues to pour billions of dollars of
military aid into the war criminal, genocidally racist, ethnic cleansing
and nuclear terrorist rogue state of Apartheid Israel that reportedly has
up to 400 nuclear weapons, this having been acquired with US collaboration.
. The upper estimates of stored nuclear weapons are as follows: US
(7,315), Russia (8,000), Apartheid Israel (400), France (300), UK (250),
China (250), Pakistan (120), India (100), and North Korea (less than 10)
[14, 34]].
1. When Iran agrees to accept constraints on its nuclear program that
enhances global security and enhances Iran’s ability to work with other
nations. On the other hand, when North Korea tests a bomb that endangers
all of us. And any country that breaks this basic bargain must face
consequences. And those nations with these weapons, like the United
States, have a unique responsibility to pursue the path of reducing our
stockpiles, and reaffirming basic norms like the commitment to never test
them again.
[see #48. The US is a world leader in nuclear terrorism. Iran does not have
nuclear weapons. Obama does not mention Apartheid Israel’s 400 nuclear
weapons [14, 34]].
1. We can’t combat a disease like Zika that recognizes no borders —
mosquitos don’t respect walls — unless we make permanent the same urgency
that we brought to bear against Ebola — by strengthening our own systems of
public health, by investing in cures and rolling back the root causes of
disease, and helping poorer countries develop a public health
infrastructure.
[ The dominant neoliberal ideology in the US has ensured that
pharmaceutical advance is geared to highly profitable medicines for “White
folks” who can afford to buy them – however, the Ebola scare illustrated
how quickly US Big Pharma and medical research can move when “White folks”
are threatened. The efficacy of tens of thousands of medicines have been
determined in exhaustive trials based on “White folks” but their efficacy
has not been determined, for example, for genetically diverse populations
in Africa].
1. We can only eliminate extreme poverty if the sustainable development
goals that we have set are more than words on paper. Human ingenuity now
gives us the capacity to feed the hungry and give all of our children —
including our girls — the education that is the foundation for opportunity
in our world. But we have to put our money where our mouths are.
*[In terms of net official development assistance as “a percentage of gross
national income in 2015”, Sweden ranks top among OECD countries with 1.4%
whereas the US ranks 20th at 0.17% [66]]. *
1. And we can only realize the promise of this institution’s founding —
to replace the ravages of war with cooperation — if powerful nations like
my own accept constraints. Sometimes I’m criticized in my own country for
professing a belief in international norms and multilateral institutions.
But I am convinced that in the long run, giving up some freedom of action —
not giving up our ability to protect ourselves or pursue our core
interests, but binding ourselves to international rules over the long term
— enhances our security. And I think that’s not just true for us.
[With breathtaking arrogance Obama is saying that some time in the distant
future the US might give up “some freedom of action” but it is “not giving
up our ability … [to] pursue our core interests” i.e. an exceptionalist
US will continue to subvert, threaten, invade, and devastate other
countries that reached an historical high for America under Nobel Peace
Prize winner but serial invader and serial war criminal Obama].
1. If Russia continues to interfere in the affairs of its neighbors, it
may be popular at home, it may fuel nationalist fervor for a time, but over
time it is also going to diminish its stature and make its borders less
secure. In the South China Sea, a peaceful resolution of disputes offered
by law will mean far greater stability than the militarization of a few
rocks and reefs.
[Russia responded to the racist, anti-Russian neo-Nazi coup in Ukraine that
was engineered and backed by the North America-located US; the
re-incorporation of strategically vital Crimea into Russia was
overwhelmingly supported by the Crimean population. The South China Sea is
called such because it is off the coast of South China and not off the
coast of the North America-located US; under anti-Arab anti-Semitic and
Islamophobic warmonger Obama the US Alliance headed by the North
America-located US invaded 20 impoverished and distant countries in
pursuance of the Zionist-backed US War on Muslims (War on Terror) that has
been associated with 30 million Muslim refugees and 32 million Muslim
deaths from violence (5 million) or from hegemony- or war-imposed
deprivation (27 million) since the US Government’s 9-11 false –flag
atrocity [7-9]].
1. We are all stakeholders in this international system, and it calls
upon all of us to invest in the success of institutions to which we
belong. And the good news is, is that many nations have shown what kind of
progress is possible when we make those commitments. Consider what we’ve
accomplished here over the past few years.
[Obama is using weasel words “stakeholders in this international system”
and “invest in the success of institutions” – what the US under Obama
should have been doing was obeying international laws and conventions,
instead of grossly violating these international laws and conventions].
1. Together, we mobilized some 50,000 additional troops for U.N.
peacekeeping, making them nimble, better equipped, better prepared to deal
with emergencies. Together, we established an Open Government Partnership
so that, increasingly, transparency empowers more and more people around
the globe. And together, now, we have to open our hearts and do more to
help refugees who are desperate for a home.
[“US peace-keeping” is an oxymoron as evidenced by the Zionist–backed US
War on Muslims (War on Terror, Muslim Holocaust, Muslim Genocide) that has
been associated with 30 million Muslim refugees and 32 million Muslim
deaths from violence (5 million) or from hegemony- or war-imposed
deprivation (27 million) since the US Government’s 9-11 false –flag
atrocity [7-9]].
1. We should all welcome the pledges of increased assistance that have
been made at this General Assembly gathering. I’ll be discussing that more
this afternoon. But we have to follow through, even when the politics are
hard. Because in the eyes of innocent men and women and children who,
through no fault of their own, have had to flee everything that they know,
everything that they love, we have to have the empathy to see ourselves.
We have to imagine what it would be like for our family, for our children,
if the unspeakable happened to us. And we should all understand that,
ultimately, our world will be more secure if we are prepared to help those
in need and the nations who are carrying the largest burden with respect to
accommodating these refugees.
[ Syria was an oasis of peace and religious tolerance and hosted more
refugees per capita that any other country – and then the US and the US
Alliance intervened with bombing and supporting terrorists to remove the
secular Syrian Government, killing 0.5 million people, generating 12
million Syrian refugees, and destroying this ancient country [9]].
1. There are a lot of nations right now that are doing the right thing.
But many nations — particularly those blessed with wealth and the benefits
of geography — that can do more to offer a hand, even if they also insist
that refugees who come to our countries have to do more to adapt to the
customs and conventions of the communities that are now providing them a
home.
[More breathtaking Obama dishonesty and implicit racism and bigotry; see
#51 – in terms of net official development assistance as “a percentage of
gross national income in 2015”, Sweden ranks top among OECD countries with
1.4% whereas the US ranks 20th at 0.17% [66]].
1. Let me conclude by saying that I recognize history tells a different
story than the one that I’ve talked about here today. There’s a much
darker and more cynical view of history that we can adopt. Human beings
are too often motivated by greed and by power. Big countries for most of
history have pushed smaller ones around. Tribes and ethnic groups and
nation states have very often found it most convenient to define themselves
by what they hate and not just those ideas that bind them together.
[Obama actually tells the truth for once in admitting his gross mendacity
and saying that “I recognize history tells a different story than the one
that I’ve talked about here today” [4]].
1. Time and again, human beings have believed that they finally arrived
at a period of enlightenment only to repeat, then, cycles of conflict and
suffering. Perhaps that’s our fate. We have to remember that the choices
of individual human beings led to repeated world war. But we also have to
remember that the choices of individual human beings created a United
Nations, so that a war like that would never happen again. Each of us as
leaders, each nation can choose to reject those who appeal to our worst
impulses and embrace those who appeal to our best. For we have shown that
we can choose a better history.
[The UN was created to prevent wars like WW2 that was associated with
violent deaths and avoidable deaths from deprivation totalling over 100
million. However US exceptionalism has meant that post-1950 US Asian wars
have been associated with 40 million Asian deaths from violence or
war-imposed deprivation;1950-2005 avoidable deaths from deprivation in
countries occupied by the US in the post-1945 era have totalled 82 million
[4]; Muslim deaths from violence or imposed deprivation have totalled 32
million since 9-11, with Obama being directly involved in much of this
carnage; there are presently 65 million refugees in the world of whom 30
million are Muslim refugees generated by a genocidally racist US or by
US-backed and genocidally racist Apartheid Israel [9]].
1. Sitting in a prison cell, a young Martin Luther King, Jr. wrote that,
“Human progress never rolls on the wheels of inevitability; it comes
through the tireless efforts of men willing to be co-workers with God.”
And during the course of these eight years, as I’ve traveled to many of
your nations, I have seen that spirit in our young people, who are more
educated and more tolerant, and more inclusive and more diverse, and more
creative than our generation; who are more empathetic and compassionate
towards their fellow human beings than previous generations. And, yes,
some of that comes with the idealism of youth. But it also comes with
young people’s access to information about other peoples and places — an
understanding unique in human history that their future is bound with the
fates of other human beings on the other side of the world.
[Mass murderer, serial invader, serial war criminal and genocidal racist
Obama and his similarly degenerate and Zionist-perverted allies can
hardly be called “co-workers with God”].
1. I think of the thousands of health care workers from around the world
who volunteered to fight Ebola. I remember the young entrepreneurs I met
who are now starting new businesses in Cuba, the parliamentarians who used
to be just a few years ago political prisoners in Myanmar. I think of the
girls who have braved taunts or violence just to go to school in
Afghanistan, and the university students who started programs online to
reject the extremism of organizations like ISIL. I draw strength from the
young Americans — entrepreneurs, activists, soldiers, new citizens — who
are remaking our nation once again, who are unconstrained by old habits and
old conventions, and unencumbered by what is, but are instead ready to
seize what ought to be.
[How disgusting that racist mass murderer Obama links himself to
courageous young humanitarians].
1. My own family is a made up of the flesh and blood and traditions and
cultures and faiths from a lot of different parts of the world — just as
America has been built by immigrants from every shore. And in my own life,
in this country, and as President, I have learned that our identities do
not have to be defined by putting someone else down, but can be enhanced by
lifting somebody else up. They don’t have to be defined in opposition to
others, but rather by a belief in liberty and equality and justice and
fairness.
[When truthful history is written, Obama will be defined by his
participation in the post-9-11 Muslim Holocaust and Muslim Genocide
associated with 30 million Muslim refugees and 32 million Muslim deaths
from violence – or from war - and hegemony-imposed deprivation [9]].
1. And the embrace of these principles as universal doesn’t weaken my
particular pride, my particular love for America — it strengthens it. My
belief that these ideals apply everywhere doesn’t lessen my commitment to
help those who look like me, or pray as I do, or pledge allegiance to my
flag. But my faith in those principles does force me to expand my moral
imagination and to recognize that I can best serve my own people, I can
best look after my own daughters, by making sure that my actions seek what
is right for all people and all children, and your daughters and your sons
[Gross hypocrisy by Obama who is currently the world’s number 1
pathological liar, serial invader, warmonger, war criminal, child killer,
climate criminal, and drug pusher. It is notable that Obama did not
mention illicit drugs in his speech. Also utterly ignored by Neocon
American and Zionist Imperialist (NAZI)-perverted and subverted Western
Mainstream media are the 1.2 million people who have died world-wide since
9-11 due to US Alliance restoration of the Taliban-destroyed Afghan opium
industry from 6% of world market share in 2001 to 93% in 2007, the
breakdown (as of 2015) including 280,000 Americans, 256,000 Indonesians,
68,000 Iranians, 25,000 British, 14,000 Canadians, 10,000 Germans, and
5,000 Australians [12]].
1. This is what I believe: that all of us can be co-workers with God.
And our leadership, and our governments, and this United Nations should
reflect this irreducible truth.
[This is what Obama blasphemously calls being “co-workers with God”: the
atmospheric CO2 concentration has increased to 405 ppm CO2 and is
increasing at a record 3 ppm CO2 per year; a catastrophic plus 2C
temperature rise is now unavoidable and the current plus 1C is already
catastrophic for tropical Island States and megadelta countries like
Bangladesh; the plus 1.5C target may well be exceeded by 2020; the
coal-to-gas conversion by the US under Obama locks in disastrous long-term
greenhouse gas (GHG) pollution; 17 million people die avoidably each year;
7 million die from air pollution each year; the US Alliance has invaded 20
overwhelmingly or significantly Muslim countries since the US Government’s
9-11 false flag atrocity, this being associated with 32 million Muslim
deaths from violence (5 million) or from war- or hegemony-imposed
deprivation (27 million) [2, 4, 9, 67]. Of course the bottom line in any
human society is respect for children but Obama has an appalling record
of child killing. During the Vietnam War, decent people chanted “Hey, hey,
USA, how many kids did you kill today?” In May 2009 I catalogued the
answer for America under Obama as 1,000 [68]].
1. Thank you very much. (Applause)
[Genuine gratitude one supposes by Obama who is currently the world’s
number 1 pathological liar, serial invader, warmonger, war criminal, child
killer, climate criminal, and drug pusher but is free to operate as the
world’s current number 1 serial killer for another 3 months. Obama is
lauded as America’s first Black president but is complicit in the Muslim
Holocaust and Muslim Genocide that has taken 32 million non-European Muslim
lives since the US Government’s 9-11 false-flag atrocity killed 3,000
people in 2001].
*Conclusions. *
Serial war criminal Barack Obama must be arraigned before the International
Criminal Court. There must be Boycotts, Divestment and Sanction (BDS)
against the United States and its war criminal allies until their crimes
are recognized and punished and America and its allies undergo
de-Nazification. The relatives, friends and fellow citizens of the 1.7
million Americans who die preventably each year must disempower the Neocon
American and Zionist Imperialists (NAZIs) who have subverted and perverted
America and crippled America with the $40 trillion long-term accrual cost
of nuclear terrorist Apartheid Israel and attendant wars.
In 2005 Literature Nobel Laureate, anti-racist Jewish British playwright
Harold Pinter declared that Bush and Blair should be arraigned before the
International Criminal Court: “We have brought torture, cluster bombs,
depleted uranium, innumerable acts of random murder, misery, degradation
and death to the Iraqi people and call it “bringing freedom and democracy
to the Middle East”. How many people do you have to kill before you qualify
to be described as a mass murderer and a war criminal? One hundred
thousand? More than enough, I would have thought” [69]. 32 million? More
than enough I would have thought.
