Orwell at the UN: Obama Re-Defines Democracy as a Country That Supports U.S. Policy
In his Orwellian September 28, 2015 speech to the United Nations,President Obama said that if democracy had existed in Syria, there never
would have been a revolt against Assad. By that, he meant ISIL. Where
there is democracy, he said, there is no violence or revolution.
This was his threat to promote revolution, coups and violence against
any country not deemed a “democracy.” In making this hardly-veiled
threat, he redefined the word in the vocabulary of international
politics. Democracy is the CIA’s overthrow of Mossedegh in Iran to
install the Shah. Democracy is the overthrow of Afghanistan’s secular
government by the Taliban against Russia. Democracy is the Ukrainian
coup behind Yats and Poroshenko. Democracy is Pinochet. It is “our
bastards,” as Lyndon Johnson said, with regard to the Latin American
dictators installed by U.S. foreign policy.
