The Obama Deception (2009 Video)
6/10
Factually dubious but teaches you how to think

Some viewers seem to be under the impression that this documentary is an anti-leftist or anti-Obama video. Such is not the case. The author, Alex Jones, isn't a Republican. He's a libertarian. This documentary tells you to open your eyes - not to take Obama for granted. Jones merely addresses the Obama-hype his way.

Whilst I support the intention of this release, I do not support the choice for his interviewees. Willie Nelson, Jesse Ventura, Webster Tarpley, really, they are not the 'deep thinkers' I need. Same goes for KRS-One. More on this pop group later.

Sure, they all have something interesting to say. But overall the movie has too many flaws. Anyone who'd dissect the movie (and it has been done) could debunk many of the statements made. There's plenty of issues with the style of the documentary, i.e. editing and quote-mining.

Now back to KRS-One. At the start of the documentary he says that if one complains loud enough about a cold burger, the complainer might eventually see the floor manager. But the customer will never see the franchise taker. And exactly that is what we should learn from this documentary! Learn to look at the enablers of individual politicians. Such is my interpretation, and it is the best advice I personally could give to anyone.

This documentary focuses mostly on the financial sector. Yet the enablers of politicians are more diverse. For example without the support of the Jewish lobby, one is not going to be anything significant in politics. It's also striking that thirty percent of the judicial legislation at the top consists of Jewish people. Not to mention the Jewish background of managers of many financial institutions and the Federal Reserve Bank, again.

Alex Jones will never address this though. His sponsors are mostly Jewish owned companies. So there's that and it explains why Jones will never mention the elephant in the closet when he should. Eventually, Alex Jones is a tool like many others, so much has become clear to me.

Now years later, we have the chance to evaluate this documentary. It was quite spot on. Yes, the West has moved out of Iraq, but the troops have been replaced by mercenaries. We're still in Afghanistan and haven't accomplish anything. Now we're told we should fight in Syria and Iran. And look what is happening to Iraq; ISIS is pretty much taking over and the Western intelligence supposedly didn't see it coming. Who are they kidding?

The wars never end. See 1984, Orwell, for a deliberate never-ending war. Guantanamo is still fully operational despite Obama's promise to shut it down. Banks continue to be fully protected, only insignificant details have been changed. Whistle blowers are fleeing to China and Russia these days. Non-US citizens are chased around the world (Assange). A record breaking eight whistle blowers have been prosecuted by Obama. A record number of Generals and other armed forces officers are removed who didn't agree with his policies. And his reign isn't over yet...

I read often the argument that Obama inherited a mess. But after this many years that's not an excuse. The movie is about opening your eyes and not trusting his words. This president - Obama - did nothing, but received a Nobel prize nevertheless. Take a hint, and extend this knowledge to every upcoming politician, no matter what party he or she is in.

I give this movie a 6/10. I don't like the suggestive editing and too many statements aren't (entirely) true. On the other hand I fully support the overall message, and that is to learn to look at the enablers of politicians.
