Pundits

Threatening to attack Syria, and moving ships into position to do it, are significant, and illegal, and immoral actions. The US President can claim not to have decided to push the button, but he also can’t pretend that all the preparations to do so just happen. It's pre-planned. Does President Barack Obama really have the say?

China is Africa's number 1 trading partner. To counter Chinese influence and reinforce US presence, President Barack Obama set out on a week long Africa Trip 2013. However, Obama's propaganda tour which cost a hundred million dollars of American taxpayers monies did not go so well. It started out fine in Senegal, but when he came to South Africa, it went downhill which was not really highlighted in the Western mainstream media. It was total fiasco: He was confronted by thousands of workers and students who called him a "slave-trader," and accused him of war crimes and the betrayal of his electoral promises. Obama couldn’t even organise a photo-op at Nelson Mandela’s bedside, a symbolic image he had counted on as Italian geographer and geopolitical scientist reports.

With zero outrage, a hit TV show turns snooping on private citizens into entertainment. How little we value our liberties. Cheaters' popularity is a sign that the war on privacy has largely been won by the other side - the Luciferian and Orwellian Masterminds. Glorifying militarism, surveillance videos, bugged text messages and transcripts from eavesdropped phone calls designed to normalize the surveillance society, inviting and programming ordinary citizens to accept and even embrace the role of surveillance and spying in their daily private lives. Alarmingly, this vastly influential American TV show cum social media hub cum product empire, and much of what is being shown in the mainstream media and from Hollywood, often seem to get an advantage in securing investment and a market niche – as that they are in harmony with the U.S. government's agenda, are normalizing the idea that surveillance and intrusion are facts of everyday life. Even more sad, if the story is entertaining enough, Americans no longer seem to care that their fourth amendment rights are in shreds as award-winning author, investigative journalist and Rhodes Scholar, Naomi Wolf writes.
