Movie The Obama Deception

Movie The Obama Deception is very intriguing. I highly recommend it to all who have an objective mind. In case the title turns off some people, it should be made clear that this movie is not a campaign tool used by conservatives to unseat the current president. The movie equally criticizes his Republican predecessors.

Though the movie has not convinced me to share its conclusion – the world is shaped behind the scene by the Bilderberg Group which is dominated by powerful bankers, it makes a strong case of the undue influence of the financial industry.

The bankers have convinced a large number of people including many policy makers of the financial industry’s critical role in the economy. This is why their interests were protected first when the recession caused by them came. Their critical role may be true, but it does not have to be this case.  If it is true, it needs to be changed. With so many politicians pocketed or partially pocketed by bankers, such change is unlikely to happen.

The weakest point of the movie is its missing of an insider of the Bilderberg Group. Bilderberg group must have had thousands of members over its history of more than half a century including many well respected figures. These members plus their aides and the hotel staff who have served them probably number in tens of thousands. If this was a group conspiring against the public interest, there would be at least a few insiders with the integrity and conscience to reveal the dirty secrets. Not citing a single insider goes against its claim.

As for president Obama, whom I strongly supported, very few can still believe in the changes he promised.  I still think he sincerely wanted to make the positive changes, but he put in the people of the same old mindset surrounding him probably out of obligation. In other words, his team, by design, is not for making the dramatic changes needed badly by the US.  Healthcare reform provided a golden opportunity for him to showcase the changes he promised - transparency, free of lobbyists' undue influence, uniting people by seeking common ground, which is plenty in the healthcare reform because all want to control the skyrocketing cost.  He failed to show any of the promised changes.
