    by Larry Chin
    Global Research, April 4, 2009
    To sober, clear-eyed observers of history and political deception, the ascension of Barack Obama held the promise for unprecedented new dangers: a revitalized New World Order, led by the Anglo-American empire’s neoliberal criminal faction and an iconic, deceptive new facilitator; and a continuation (…)

    It’s not nostalgia for his “kinda-drunk John Wayne with a (…)
