(17,266 posts)TPTB planned on having Obama serve two terms as they put the final bits into place for the full conversion of the US to a fascist state. I know how that sounds, but if you've been paying attention, all the indications are there. The way I figure it, and I come at this from the position of "How would I go about creating a lasting fascist paradise out of America?", the first thing I'd want to do would be to get control of just enough of the media to take advantage of a particular psychological weakness in a large portion of the US populace. This fear-based weakness could be easily exploited to turn vast numbers of people against those people who are capable of identifying my plan and possibly foiling it. Once I have the nation so divided, I would have my swaths of lobbyists create a legislative/legal framework whereby the basic infrastructure and the economy of the nation were put under great stress. I would 'allow' for one who represents the more enlightened constituencies to have the White House and mobilize my media assets to whip the ignorant 'sports fans' into a frenzy of hatred.
Then, after the tenure of the Democratic president which the media has used to crystalize the fear and hatred of several million people, I'd see to it that a Republican was installed in the White House. It would be a Republican who would immediately enact tax cuts, deregulation, privatization policies, and a host of other policies that would be sure to sabotage the barely recovered economy. I'd probably find a strong female candidate, if I could. Then, as oil peaked, famine spread, and economic collapse hit, the media would dutifully blame the 'liberal communists' and my hordes of morons would don their black boots, crosses and flags, and round up everyone that could possibly threaten my new empire. The formula is very refined by now, and all indicators point to inevitable fascism.
Meanwhile, I couldn't have someone knocking Obama out of office so soon. We can't get the hordes of morons to turn on their fellow Americans as easily as we could by letting them start to taste prosperity again. Because Romney might actually have a chance at beating Obama, I'd want the media to poison him from the get-go among the wingnuts. That way any of the other morons could get the nomination and flame out.
It's what I'd do. I never made a claim to complete sanity.
