Compare This Hypocrisy

The official United States policy doesn't pass the hypocrisy test. It is self evident if one is to look at the specific details surrounding international relations between various parts of the world and the resource extraction favorable to the U.S. corporate owners. The following is a small yet barely detailed glimpse at the two disparaging positions exhibits of this hypocrisy that occurred in separate places on the same day. Both are said to demonstrate the same morality, though the to positions fail in standing beside one another as equal.

Obama on Leno: October 25, 2011
of Gaddafi, "this is somebody who for forty years, had terrorized his country, uh, had supported terrorism, and he had an opportunity during the Arab spring to finally let loose of his grip on power and peacefully transition to democracy, and we gave him ample opportunity and he wouldn't do it and obviously you never want to see anybody come to the kind of end that he did. But I think it, uh, send a strong message around the world to dictators, people long to be free and ah they need to respect the human rights and the universal aspirations of people."
The U.S official position:
Support for the dictatorial government of Yemen
Support for the dictatorial government of Saudi Arabia
Support for the dictatorial government of Bahrain
Support for the dictatorial government of Egypt pre 2011 revolution.
(There is no clear understanding of current U.S. position as to Egypt, post revolution)

Meanwhile at the United Nations, October 25, 2011, The United Nations General Assembly overwhelmingly voted to condemn the U.S. for its continued embargo of the island nation of Cuba. In defense of the U.S. position, Ronald Godard, U.S. Senior Adviser, Western and Eastern Affairs stated, "For yet another year, this assembly is taking up a resolution designed to confuse and obscure. But let there be no confusion about this. The United States, like most member states, reaffirms its strong commitment to supporting the right and the heartfelt desire of the Cuban people to freely determine their future. And let there be no obscuring that the Cuban regime has deprived them of this right for more than half a century."

Any analysis of the two individual position statements can only reveal the discord between them individually. The U.S. condemns Cuba for the very conditions it supports in Yemen, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, and potentially Egypt. The difference is, well, there is no actual difference between these dictatorial governments worthy of differentiation. Authoritarian dictatorial governments suppress human rights equally. Though the U.S. gains wealth, and geographic influence through the countries it supports, while condemning those it has nothing to exploit.

In meantime, on the streets of the United States, the people are now unable to gain for themselves what our President intended to highlight as an ability to a right to determine one's own future. The people attempt to assert their 1^st amendment right and are met by tear gas, concussion grenades, rubber bullets, clubs and disallowed to freely take part in peaceful demonstrations on the streets. The warped officials serving out their sworn duty to enforce and protect the laws, and the public, continually show their selves as servants of inequality rather than equality, in spite of their actions being unconstitutional in themselves.

Scott Olson, victim of the police state brutality and the above stated unjust, unconstitutional behavior is now in a medically induce coma in an effort to save his life. The police stand <20 feet away and offer no help to the man they shot in the head with what was likely a tear-gas canister. As other people attempted to provide assistance, they were targeted by a concussion grenade thrown by police into the group attempting to give aid to the critically wounded man.

Yet our President can contend that the countries values as being supportive of the "need to respect the human rights and the universal aspirations of people."

I spent many hours today again reviewing the United States Constitution and its Bill of Rights, to bring the true words back into the forefront of my thought. I continually attempt to understand the legality of my own rights in the face of the current movement. It is good to re-enforce my own understanding with the clarity in that document. We must all stand together, as one within the 99% on the right side of the law, standing in peaceful contempt of our current corrupt system.
