Who’s giving liberals the order to go after Obama? Who shifted the political wind
overnight?

When Chris Matthews files for divorce from Barack Obama, you know the world is upside
down.

When the liberal online rag, Politico, features a clip of Matthews saying, “[Obama]
obviously likes giving speeches more than he does running the executive branch,”
we’re through the Looking Glass.

The liberal jackals are stalking their own leader, the President. After making 
mind-bending excuses for Obama’s disastrous presidency, they’ve suddenly heard a
supersonic whistle, and they’re out for blood.

Jonathan Turley, famous liberal constitutional lawyer, is counting Obama’s sins,
ranging far beyond the current IRS and AP phone-tapping scandals.

James Goodale, former lawyer for the NY Times, is writing, at the Daily Beast, “Obama
is fast becoming the worst national security press president, worse than Nixon, 
and it may not get any better.”

Liberal radio host Bill Press is calling for Obama to fire Eric Holder. Charley
Rangel says, “No one believes that the president has given us a sufficient answer
[to the IRS and DOJ scandals].”

Representative Zoe Lofgren and NBC’s Brian Williams are down Obama’s neck.

Just a few weeks ago, after the Boston bombing, Obama was unassailable. He was 
still the king with his own people. Now, he’s turning into lunch meat.

Liberals could be shouting and claiming that the IRS targeting of conservative, 
patriot, and constitutional groups had nothing to do with Obama, that he’s entirely
innocent, that he just got rid of the IRS chief and all is well…but they’re not
saying it.

They could be insisting that the DOJ tapping AP phones was all on Eric Holder, and
Obama had nothing to do with it…but they’re not saying it.

The current press virus is: Obama is Nixon. What’s going on?

Who’s giving liberals the order to go after Obama? Who shifted the political wind
overnight?

Yesterday, I examined Watergate from the perspective of Nixon’s betrayal of the 
Rockefeller family. That was the key to his ouster from the presidency. The Washington
Post was used as the attack dog. Are we looking at something similar here?

Has Obama failed to live up to his promises to people far more powerful than he 
is? If so, what is his betrayal?

Is it simply the fact that the Trilateral Commission and the Council on Foreign 
Relations have chosen Hillary Clinton as the next president—and in order to make
that happen, major diversions have to guide the press and public away from her role
in the Benghazi catastrophe? Is that why we’re suddenly seeing the IRS and DOJ 
scandals erupting?

Rockefeller’s Trilateral Commission (TC) certainly wields enough power to torpedo
Obama, if they want to. And they surround Obama.

Patrick Wood, author of Trilaterals Over Washington, points out there are only 87
members of the Trilateral Commission who live in America. Obama appointed elevenof
them to posts in his administration.

Keep in mind that the original stated goal of the TC was to create “a new international
economic order.” Consider the following TC members, who have held Obama posts:

Tim Geithner, Treasury Secretary;

James Jones, National Security Advisor;

Paul Volker, Chairman, Economic Recovery Committee;

Dennis Blair, Director of National Intelligence.

All Trilateralists.

In the run-up to his inauguration after the 2008 presidential election, Obama was
tutored by the co-founder of the Trilateral Commission, Zbigniew Brzezinski.

The TC is the hand that feeds Obama. Has he bitten it?

Zbigniew Brzezinski wrote, four years before birthing the TC with his godfather,
David Rockefeller: “[The] nation state as a fundamental unit of man’s organized
life has ceased to be the principal creative force. International banks and multinational
corporations are acting and planning in terms that are far in advance of the political
concepts of the nation state.”

A closer look at Tim Geithner’s circle of economic advisers reveals the chilling
Trilateral effect: Paul Volker; Alan Greenspan; E. Gerald Corrigan (director, Goldman
Sachs); and Peter G Peterson (former CEO, Lehman Brothers, former chairman of the
Council on Foreign Relations). These men are all Trilateral members.

How many foxes in the hen house do we need, before we realize their Trilateral agenda
is controlling the direction of our economy?

Any doubt on the question of TC goals is answered by David Rockefeller himself, 
the founder of the TC, in his Memoirs (2003): “Some even believe we are part of 
a secret cabal working against the best interests of the , characterizing
my family and me as ‘internationalists’ and of conspiring with others around the
world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure-one world,
if you will. If that is the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it.”

So yes, if the Trilateral Commission wanted to sink Obama’s presidency, they could
call that shot. They could radically influence press coverage of the president,
they could pull strings and end the worshipful celebration of Obama as the great
prophet. They could bring hard doom to him.

Nixon started imposing tariffs on imported goods. That was his Waterloo. He ran
afoul of the massive Rockefeller free trade agenda. What has Obama done?

Is he stalling on war with Iran? Has he gone too far in his embrace of Islamic 
partners? Has he finally balked at continuing the war in Afghanistan?

Setting economic and political policy for the US is a prime operation of the Trilateral
Commission. If Obama has crossed swords with the TC, he would be treading on very
dangerous ground.

From the shadows of history, let me give you an illustration of how far and deep
the TC can reach. It really does boggle the mind.

Here is a close-up snap shot of a remarkable moment-in the form of a conversation
between a reporter, Jeremiah Novak, and two Trilateral Commission members, Karl 
Kaiser and Richard Cooper.

The interview took place in 1978. It concerned the issue of who exactly, during 
President Carter‘s administration, was formulating US economic and political policy.

The careless and off-hand attitude of Trilateralists Kaiser and Cooper is astonishing.
It’s as if they’re saying, “What we’re revealing is already out in the open, it’s
too late to do anything about it, why are you so worked up, we’ve already won…”

NOVAK (the reporter): Is it true that a private [Trilateral committee] led by Henry
Owen of the US and made up of [Trilateral] representatives of the US, UK, West Germany,
Japan, France and the EEC is coordinating the economic and political policies of
the Trilateral countries [which would include the US]?

COOPER: Yes, they have met three times.

NOVAK: Yet, in your recent paper you state that this committee should remain informal
because to formalize ‘this function might well prove offensive to some of the Trilateral
and other countries which do not take part.’ Who are you afraid of?

KAISER: Many countries in Europe would resent the dominant role that West Germany
plays at these [Trilateral] meetings.

COOPER: Many people still live in a world of separate nations, and they would resent
such coordination [of policy].

NOVAK: But this [Trilateral] committee is essential to your whole policy. How can
you keep it a secret or fail to try to get popular support [for its decisions on
how Trilateral member nations will conduct their economic and political policies]?

COOPER: Well, I guess it’s the press’ job to publicize it.

NOVAK: Yes, but why doesn’t President Carter come out with it and tell the American
people that [US] economic and political power is being coordinated by a [Trilateral]
committee made up of Henry Owen and six others?After all, if [US] policy is being
made on a multinational level, the people should know.

COOPER: President Carter and Secretary of State Vance have constantly alluded to
this in their speeches.

KAISER: It just hasn’t become an issue.

ed. by Holly Sklar, 1980. South End Press, Boston. Pages 192-3.

Of course, although Kaiser and Cooper claimed everything being manipulated by the
Trilateral Commission committee was already out in the open, it wasn’t.

Their interview slipped under the mainstream media radar, which is to say, it was
ignored and buried. It didn’t become a scandal on the level of, say, Watergate, 
although its essence was far larger than Watergate.

If the mainstream press had made hay out of this interview, had reported it widely,
and commented upon it with relentless fervor and disgust and shock (a pipe dream,
to be sure); if the interview had been pushed and publicized as a scandal of the
greatest depth; if ensuing denials and distractions had been cast aside; the exposure
of the Trilaterals would have shaken the country’s foundations, and the press would
have had to admit all their coverage of government was a farce and a cartoon.

US economic and political policy run by a committee of the Trilateral Commission-the
Commission had been been created in 1973 as an “informal discussion group” by David
Rockefeller and his sidekick, Zbigniew Brzezinski, who would become Jimmy Carter’s
National Security Advisor.

Shortly after Carter won the presidential election, his aide, Hamilton Jordan, said
that, if after the inauguration, Cy Vance and Brzezinski came on board as secretary
of state and national security adviser, “We’ve lost. And I’ll quit.” Lost-because
both men were powerful members of the Trilateral Commission and their appointment
to key positions would signal a surrender of White House control to the Commission.

Vance and Brzezinski wereappointed secretary of state and national security adviser,
as Jordan feared. But he didn’t quit. He became Carter’s chief of staff. He gave
up.

That’s the kind of power we’re talking about. Barack Obama would merely be a minor
figure blowing in the wind, if the TC decided he’d betrayed them. Obama’s administration
is stacked with TC members.

They could foment the sudden liberal opposition to this president, which has bloomed
overnight like a mushroom in the dark.

No one at the moment is playing the race card for Obama, which has been an effective
strategy. No one in the press is claiming that Obama’s Republican opponents are
racists. Why not?

The IRS and DOJ scandals are manageable. By themselves, absent the press firestorm,
they can be contained. Eric Holder can go. The IRS chief has already been dispatched
to nowhere land. The president can claim immunity from these two doofuses. Indeed,
he may try that.

As long as his liberal allies keeping pounding on the fact that he’s a great president
who has been served badly by his inferiors, the ship could hold water. But right
now, that’s not happening. The sudden sea change is swamping the boat.

Remember, with Watergate, we saw a successful attack on the US Attorney General,
John Mitchell, on the way to nailing Nixon and knocking him out of the box. That
Rockefeller operation worked like a magic machine.

Eric Holder, the current Attorney General, has just testified before Congress that
he doesn’t know anything about anything. He’s pretty much said, “Ask me a question
about any scandal and I’ll plead vast ignorance. That’s my defense.”

Holder is ripe for a takedown. And then the press hounds would be that much closer
to pinning blame on Obama himself.

I’m not saying Obama will be impeached or will resign—although in politics, never
say never. I’m saying his presidency, such as it is, could be destroyed very quickly
among and by his own supporters.

The clue here, again, is the sudden and boggling liberal press turnaround, their
all-out assault on Obama. This kind of thing doesn’t happen by accident. It certainly
doesn’t happen from the bowels of the president’s rabid worshipers. But it is happening.

That means marching orders. That means screws have been turned by people who expect
and demand and can count on obedience. Those people are players who live far above
government. Government is their mechanism, as is the press, when it needs to be.

And right now, it needs to be.
