324 Barack H. Obama: The Unauthorized BiographyTHE PROCEEDS GO TO ROCKEFELLER, SOROS, RUBIN, ROHATYN
One way that Obama could show that he is better than Bush and better than McCain when it
comes to imposing crushing austerity on the American population is his ability to dress up cuts in
the living standard in the camouflage of leftist and humanitarian verbiage. A fiendish variant of this
demagogy is Obama’s plan to help the third world. In reality, the sums of money cited here will go
to bail out the bankrupt banks and investment houses of Rockefeller, Soros, Rubin, and Rohatyn.
But left liberals will support these measures, especially because they involve further sacrifices for
blue collar workers. Obama’s bill is called the Global Poverty Act, ‘... and could result in the
imposition of a $845 billion global tax on the United States. The bill, which has the support of many
liberal religious groups, makes levels of U.S. foreign aid spending subservient to the dictates of the
United Nations. The U.N.’s “Millennium Project,” says that the U.N. plan to force the U.S. to pay
0.7 percent of its GNP in increased foreign aid spending would add $65 billion a year to what the
U.S. already spends. Over a 13-year period, from 2002, when the U.N.’s Financing for
Development conference was held, to the target year of 2015, when the U.S. is expected to meet the
“Millennium Development Goals,” this amounts to $845 billion. And the only way to raise that kind
of money is through a global tax, preferably on carbon-emitting fossil fuels. Here’s an abstract of
the proposed legislation: “To require the President to develop and implement a comprehensive
strategy to further the United States foreign policy objective of promoting the reduction of global
poverty, the elimination of extreme global poverty, and the achievement of the [U.N.] Millennium
Development Goal of reducing by one-half the proportion of people worldwide, between 1990 and
2015, who live on less than $1 per day.” Here’s how Senator Obama’s website frames the bill:
“With billions of people living on just dollars a day around the world, global poverty remains one of
the greatest challenges and tragedies the international community faces,” said Senator Obama. “It
must be a priority of American foreign policy to commit to eliminating extreme poverty and
ensuring every child has food, shelter, and clean drinking water. As we strive to rebuild America’s
standing in the world, this important bill will demonstrate our promise and commitment to those in
the developing world. Our commitment to the global economy must extend beyond trade
agreements that are more about increasing corporate profits than about helping workers and small
farmers everywhere.”’ 173 The key to getting the United States and the rest of the world out of the
present Bush economic depression is to gear up American factories for a campaign of exporting
high technology capital goods to the developing countries, especially in the critical areas of
infrastructure and nuclear energy production (Atoms for Peace). That would be a real economic
recovery program. But Obama is talking about nothing of the kind: he is talking about extorting
taxpayer dollars by citing the very real fact that 40,000 people die every day in the developing
countries of malnutrition and starvation, and then cynically giving the money to his bankrupt Wall
Street backers to prop up their rotten and doomed system.
This capability of Obama to impose sacrifice and austerity qualitatively worse than Carter
depends on the fact that the force of hatred is far stronger in Obama, the foundation-funded anti-
American racist and crypto-Weatherman, than it ever was in Carter, who appears benign by
comparison. Even the cynical Spengler is aghast at the hatred of the American people which can be
detected in Obama: ‘“Evil will oft evil mars”, J. R. Tolkien wrote. It is conceivable that Barack
Obama, if elected, will destroy himself before he destroys the country. Hatred is a toxic diet even
for someone with as strong a stomach as Obama. As he recalled in his 1995 autobiography, Dreams
from My Father, Obama idealized the Kenyan economist who had married and dumped his mother,
and was saddened to learn that Barack Hussein Obama, Sr, was a sullen, drunken polygamist. The
elder Obama became a senior official of the government of Kenya after earning a PhD at Harvard.
