REDACTED LIBRARY: THE OBAMA LEGACY

Now here’s a question for you and Tubularsock really wants you to set aside your cocktail, your hash-pipe, your straw&coke ……. and sure Tubularsock knows, that’s for breakfast ……. and think about ahhhh. . . . .

Let Tubularsock start here.

Why would you build a library for someone who never even finished a book about a goat on 9/11?

Well it already has been done, as you know, for the TORTURE PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH. In Dallas, TX. And speaking of luck it is the 13th Presidential Library administered by the National Archives and Records Administration.  See: https://tubularsock.com/2014/04/09/art-by-any-other-name/  and https://tubularsock.com/2014/04/28/question-bush/

And make sure you catch the George W. Bush Presidential Center’s GIFT STORE

pres gifts

where you can buy gifts like the “Presidential Baseball Bat for $129.98 or maybe you’d prefer the “Presidential Stetson Hat” for $249.98 or could you top “The Presidential Sketchbook at only $49.98?

The one gift so many remember George pushing for as the TORTURE PRESIDENT isn’t even on sale. And that is the Presidential Water-board with directions and detainees.

WATERBOARDING

Now all of this for this sad, worthless, little man, the Shrub. A true sack of shit who should be in jail for war crimes he has committed.

And fucking imbeciles actually visit this place …… a DisneyLand in Texas that is one step below the Texan Chainsaw Massacre!

DADDY CIA BUSH has his Presidential Library just outside of Houston in College Station, TX.

And just to complete the picture Barbara Bush has a Harris County branch library named after her in Springs, TX. There is nothing in the library about her but who gives a shit anyway?

But this was all a quick back story because the question that really needs to be considered is why have a library with all the books and papers so redacted that the pages are just black.

The Obummer Administration is in the process of planning the library for the most NON-Transparent  secretive President in the history of the United States ….. THE DRONE PRESIDENT BARACK H. OBAMA LIBRARY in Chicago, IL.

And here is the trick. In order for a President to have a library a President has to create a FOUNDATION.

So abracadabra ………

OBAMA FOUNDATION LOGO

And what’s it goal for existence except for the reason of taking in tax free money from world-wide corporate sponsors and foreign countries in order to buy influence?

library vision

Well here you go “inspired citizen”:

So it represents a “movement” that kills people from the sky without warning or due process, or even knowledge of who they are or what they’ve done?

So it represents a “movement” that keeps people locked away in Guantanamo Prison-Torture Camp for decades, even people who have been proven that they are guilty of nothing but won’t be released?

So it represents a “movement” that attacks other sovereign nations with no-pretext other than we just don’t like them and lecture them about being a nation of laws?

So it represents a “movement” that allows the banks to rob, swindle, and cheat and be bailed out with the citizens money only to set them up to do it again with no one being held responsible.

So it represents a “movement” that condone torture and inhumane treatment of people without NO ACCOUNTABILITY.

So it represents a “movement” that creates a health system based on insurance and care providers PROFITS rather than health care.

So it represents a “movement” that has set up a system attacking the Bill of Rights and the Constitution and the freedom of the citizen with draconian spy programs and detention without trial possibilities in the name of National Security.

So it represents a “movement” that . . .

Please pass the BULL SHIT. Thank you.

Now as usual everybody and their brother wanted Obummer’s Library in their neighborhood. The University of Chicago was competing with the University of Illinois in Chicago, Columbia University in New York, and the University of Hawaii in Honolulu to host the Obummer Library.

But The University of Chicago won out and with the help of that little sleazeball Mayor Rahm Emanuel (remember Obommer’s former chief of staff) the hurdles that were in the way of building Obummers Library on park land was settled by having the District Park Board vote to change the law that protect public parks to allow Obummer to acquire 20 acres of City park land to build his library.

Sleazeball Mayor Rahm Emanuel and Tubularsock.

Sleazeball Mayor Rahm Emanuel and Tubularsock.

But the Friends of the Parks who said they would challenge the City in court over the City violating the state’s public trust doctrine, which forbids private development on “property recovered from the waters of Lake Michigan.” In other words: landfill. That land under the terms of the trust must be “preserved as a natural resource and open space equally available to Illinois citizens.”

Then State lawmakers changed the state law to specifically permit presidential libraries on park land provided the public still has access. And Governor Bruce Rauner signed it into law against the wishes of the FOTP.

In fact, “the new law was filed around 7 p.m. April 22, and by midday April 23 it had zipped through both houses of the State Legislature and was sent to Gov. Bruce Rauner, who signed it”. (Greg Hinz, Crain’s Chicago Business, 4/25/15)

According to FOTP, House Bill 373 “basically authorizes the City to run a mall up and down the Lake so long as they call it a museum.” (Deanna Isaacs, The Reader, 5/1/15)

But funny thing, the Friends of the Parks president Cassandra Francis abruptly left her job. She had been a big supporter of protecting the Lake Michigan shoreline and parks in general and found herself on the opposite side of the power structure she’d previously been part of and stepped down. All she said was that it was a good time to “move on”.

“Francis insists she left under her own power but, well, sometimes a wise woman doesn’t wait around for the hanging party to arrive.” (Greg Hinz, Crain’s Chicago Business, 4/25/15)

But here is the silver lining, at least for Tubularsock the muralist ……..

Tubularsock is sending his mural idea for the entrance of the new Obummer Presidential Redacted Library.

And Tubularsock has set his heart on winning the entry mural competition ……… if they have one. STAND BACK, IT SAYS IT ALL AMERIKKKA.

tube special report

 

NEWS THAT ISN’T!

The German Economic News  reported that a current Princeton/Northwestern University study has discovered that, The United States is no longer a democracy. Well no shit, Dick Tracy!

It takes two Universities to study and come to THAT conclusion?

Even a fucking beer swigging, football watching, wife beater, with a sixth grade education has figured that out just sit’en on his fat ass! It’s just that he doesn’t give a shit!

You see the Universities discovered that “. . . political decisions no longer serve the needs of citizens, but the interests of a small economic elite”. Wow. That’s as surprising as “fish have fins”.

Where in the fuck have these “educated people” been! Fucking DisneyLand?

And sit down because they discovered that in the realm of foreign policy it is the COMMERCIAL INTERESTS not the American citizen that the U.S. Government represents.

And they found that, “In the United States, the majority does not rule . . . As soon as a majority disagrees with the economic elites or organized groups, the majority loses . Although in the US the majority principle is incorporated in the Constitution, we note that even if fairly large majorities want a certain policy, they do not get it “.

The researchers determined that the U.S. government has become an oligarchy or a Corporatocracy. This means that a very few among the privileged and wealthy are literally controlling everything.

And Congress and the President do not have as much power as the American people previously thought but are controlled by the elite.

TUBE MERBOMA

Now there is no surprise here for those who have wanted to see the truth but most Americans believe that their VOTE counts for something. IT DOESN’T! It is all a sham.

And you can vote for Hillary or Jeb but you’ll get the same government. These people are just puppet figure heads and nothing more!

Tubularsock just can’t figure out why something so obvious is refused to be seen by the general American public.

Regardless of whether we face it or not it will not remain this way. It will either be the American public forcing a demand for change and going to the streets in mass or a collapse from within from the weight, just because shit is heavy, and that weight will bring us down.

Either way it will not hold!

Tubularsock has been boarding up his windows in his top floor corner office in his underground bunker overlooking Washington, D.C. from Oakland, CA as a precaution.

Tubularsock has a bank account.

You may not have been following this story but Tubularsock has been following it for several months now and it’s rather weird to say the least.

Since March, 2013 there have been 51 bankers that have died. Some by suicide, some by questionable circumstances still up in the air, and some by “accidents”. According to Deutsche Wirtschafts Nachrichten (Economic News of Germany).

Now hell, people die everyday but these are all successful bankers and they are dropping like flies.

Now why is that?

For example Geert Tack, a 52 year old “flawless, athletic, slim, successful” banker who worked at ING Group and handled portfolios for wealthy bank customers washed up on the beach in the port city of Ostend, Belgian on Wednesday December 3rd.

He left his villa in Vondelen and headed to work but never arrived. He had left his laptop and his cell phone in his mansion.

The autopsy has not been completed so suicide, perhaps or maybe murder, perhaps. Or maybe a total collapse upon finding himself without his laptop and cell phone. You know, in todays world one can not be “unplugged” for even a minute?

Or lets look at Shawn Miller, the CEO of Citigroup. He advised managers and other customers on sustainability, including environmental and social policies. These include the areas of mining and renewable energy. He worked for Citibank in various monitoring functions in over 100 countries.

Miller was found dead in his New York apartment in March 2013. His cause of death is still unclear. His body was found by the police in the bathtub with his neck completely cut open. No half way job here!

They found no weapons and no apparent “violent external force” but murder is suspected.

Which if you look closely Dr. Watson it would be rather difficult for a person to cut open his own neck and not leave behind a weapon. Cleaver devil, I should say.

Now the house camera did show that he allowed an “unknown” man into his apartment that WAS NOT his current lover.

Now how about the “accidental death” of Robert Evans a 30 year old vice-president of Bank of America Merrill Lynch who fell off his bike and smashed his head on a rock after losing control on a fast descent as he competed an Iron Man triathlon on the French Riviera.

An eyewitness saw Mr Evans swerving repeatedly before he hit the rock.

“Accidental”? Seems like it ………

Robert was Vice President of Electronic Trading Technology at Bank of America Merrill Lynch in the London office.

Another “accidental death” was 54 year old J. Patrick Sheehan, a managing director for public finance at Well Fargo in New York.

According to a police statement, he died at the scene, as did the driver of his livery car, after a Ford Explorer sport-utility vehicle crossed the median and struck his limo.

“Accidental”? seems like it.

Why does Michael Hastings car “accident” come to Tubularsock’s mind? That was just a regular car accident …….. right, right?

Sometimes some people seem to know too much ………

Now like Tubularsock has stated, people die all the time and accidents do happen but when they happen within a curious “trend” well just maybe something else is happening.

IT'S ONLY MONEY

For example:

March 11, 2013: Mohammed Hamwi, IT specialist financial company Trepp in New York. Was on the street and was shot three times in the head, reports New York Post .

July 29, 2013: Hussein Najadi, founder of the Arab­Malaysian Banking Group was shot dead in a car park in Kuala Lumpur by a shooter at close range. A suspect was arrested in September 2013, reported The Star .

April 13, 2014: Tanji Dewberry Vice President of WL Ross investment in New York and Deputy Vice Presi of Credit Suisse. She and her son burned to death at their home in New Jersey, reports The Daily Mail .

April 18, 2014: Benedict Philippines, Director of the Bank Ans­Saint­Nicolas, was shot dead along with his wife and child by unknown assailants in their house, Reuters reports.

July 6, 2014: Julien Knott, Director at JP Morgan. He and his wife were shot dead at their home in New Jersey, reports the International Business Times.

And then there are the suicides which make up about a third of the total number.

Now for the Tubularsock disclaimer. The world is a big place and lists like this could be created based on a variety of professions but Tubularsock does find this curious and is only bringing this to your attention to alert you about this and thereby maybe you’ll find a connection. Or not.

It just reminded Tubularsock of the ending of the movie “Wag The Dog”, that’s all!

Oh well, Tubularsock over thinks sometimes but what if ……….

Oh, and Tubularsock closed his bank account ……… too scary!
