370 Barack H. Obama: The Unauthorized Biographyconsidered fair game for outside invasion. Such a system was naturally unworkable and dissolved in
revolutionary chaos in 1848 – a chaos fomented by the British themselves in many cases. A similar
idea was put forward in 1938 under the rubric of the “League of Democracies” as advocated by the
US Anglophile financier Clarence Streit, who was Felix Rohatyn’s father in law. There was also the
Community of Democracies, a gaggle of US-UK satellites created under Clinton by Madeline
Albright and Morton Halperin, Soros’ man in Washington. But now, in 2008, the long-standing
Anglo-American world domination was reaching the end of the line. Hence the desperation of
crackpot plans like those embraced by Lake the Snake. Experience shows that, if Obama’s handlers
demand it, Barky will do it sooner or later.
Lake and his sidekick Ivo Daalder, also an Obama controller, have been working closely of late
with the head of the neocon wing of the US ruling class, George P. Shultz, the man who picked
Bush, picked Cheney, picked the neocon Vulcans, and then went on to pick Arnold Schwarzenegger
to be Governor of California. The convergence between the center-left imperialists like Lake and
the neocons like Shultz is the practical content of the “bi-partisanship” that Obama is always
babbling about. This convergence is based on the very sober estimate that the Anglo-American
empire is in a heap of trouble, and that further open divisions in the ruling class could well open the
way to a popular movement for real reform. Therefore, the two wings of the ruling class, the Shultz-
Rupert Murdoch-Warren Buffet neocons and the James Baker-Robert Rubin-Soros-Rohatyn wing
have an urgent need to come together, to crush domestic opposition, and finally to take down the
real centers of opposition, Moscow and Beijing.
THE SLAUGHTER PLAN
Daalder and Lake serve as honorary co-chairs of the Princeton Project on National Security,
which came out, in the fall of 2006, for an Anglo-American-led Concert of Democracies to carry
out preventive and preemptive wars of regime change around the world, outside the United Nations
Charter.^193 Daalder, a fellow at the Brookings Institution, has collaborated top neocon Robert Kagan
(an informal advisor to John McCain) to promote the aggressive interventionism inherent in this
lunatic plan for a Concert of Democracies. The Princeton Project on National Security proposal for
a Concert of Democracies was included in the project’s final report by G. John Ikenberry and
Woodrow Wilson School Anne-Marie Slaughter (nomen est omen, her name is her program), who is
billed as a likely recipient of a plum job in a future Obama regime. (Imagine the headlines: Obama
Proposes New World Order Based on Slaughter Plan!”) The Slaughter Plan may have confidential
protocols that represent the detailed program for an Obama regime, in the same way that the 1980s
Project of the Council on Foreign Relations represented the script for the Carter administration.^194
THE “ROGUE BLOC” – RUSSIA AND CHINA
The Concert of Democracies scheme was discussed by Ivo Daalder and James Lindsay, who
argued in an article in The American Interest that it could encompass up to 60 nations, including 28
of the 30 largest economies. Bush the elder and Bush the younger carried out their imperialist
adventures using what they called coalitions of the willing – ad hoc groups of states which could be
cajoled, bribed, threatened, or coerced into joining in, usually with token contingents, on the side of
the US-UK imperialist enforcers. These coalitions of the willing were often mocked as the
coalitions of the shilling, since the majority were indeed shills for the Anglo-Americans. Daalder
and Lake can see that they will never ram their adventurous plans through the United Nations,
where the Shanghai Cooperation Organization powers – Russia and China – are ready to bar their
