America’s Nightmare: The Obama Dystopia
Manipulation, propaganda, imagery & PR wizardry

by Andrew Hughes | Global Research, May 23, 2009

After 8 years of the Bush-Cheney nightmare during which we saw the
wanton destruction of Afghanistan and Iraq, the cynical negation of
centuries of Law designed to protect the most basic human rights and a
foreign policy worthy of Genghis Khan, there came along the “Great
Black Hope” in the persona of Barack Obama. The collective world
consciousness turned uncritically to what was presented as a new era
for peace, change and trust in Government.

Never before had one witnessed such an accomplished use of
manipulation, propaganda, imagery and public relations wizardry to
sell the public a man who was to take the baton from Bush and run with
it in the race to destroy the economy, the rights of the people and
help birth a nation totally controlled by those who have always lurked
in the shadows of power. “Change” was promised and was delivered in
the form of a deepening of the already Dystopic nightmare.

Promises were broken with no apology, the same creative legalese that
infested the Bush administration, in the form of John Yoo and Alberto
Gonzalez, was again used to deny justice to the inmates of Guantanamo,
It was used to justify more torture, more destruction of the
Constitution and more illegal surveillance of U.S. citizens.
