Obama dropped every single “feel good” cliché he could safely get away with last night in his first and last State of the Union address. He managed to deftly avoid most of his own campaign quips while near the end pandering to minority interests and telling us that the borders would be protected. He managed to show some verve and some emotion at times. He even had much of his speech memorized. All-in-all he did a good job under the immense pressure of a failed presidency on his back, but I would expect no less from such an obvious tool of destruction, for that is what I consider Barrack Hussein Obama to be.

Corporations, which control the levers of power in government and finance, promote and empower the psychologically maimed. Those who lack the capacity for empathy and who embrace the goals of the corporation—personal power and wealth—as the highest good succeed. Those who possess moral autonomy and individuality do not. And these corporate heads, isolated from the mass of Americans by insular corporate structures and vast personal fortunes, are no more attuned to the misery, rage and pain they cause than were the courtiers and perfumed fops who populated Versailles on the eve of the French Revolution. They play their games of high finance as if the rest of us do not exist. And it is a game that will kill us.
