RACHEL EHRENFELD: EMPEROR OBAMA’S NEW CLOTHES
http://acdemocracy.org/emperor-obamas-new-clothes/
The unfolding misrepresentations of the Obama Administration’s “deal” with Iran, suggest that either the President or the Iranians or both, have been avid readers of Hans Christian Andersen’s “The Emperor’s New Clothes.”
As in Andersen’s tale, the vain American president, Obama (the Emperor,) cares about nothing except for living up to his preordained legacy as Nobel Peace Laureate, wrapping himself in yarns of deceptions as accomplishments.
Although the American public and the world is led to believe that Emperor Obama initiated the rapprochement with Iran, it seems more likely, just as in Andersen story that idea came from the scheming weavers.
The crafty, terrorism trend-setting, Ayatollah Khamenei and his artful team of disinformation weavers, eagerly sought the opportunity to become the regional power and develop their in-house nuclear arsenal, recognized as early as 2007, the unique opportunity offered to them by then Democratic presidential candidate Obama, who declared he wanted “to talk to Iran.”
After decades of terrorist designations and sanctions, the election of Emperor Obama who strived to justify his unwarranted Nobel Peace Prize, and who did not hide his naked ambition to wear his power as no other American leader has done before him, offered the Iranian the perfect punter to their knotty scheme.
As in Andersen’s tale, the Iranians had offered to weave for him his desired mantle made of unforeseen before fabrications that would be visible only to those fit to serve in Emperor Obama’s court. Those who fail to recognize the beautify of the intricate deal would prove they are “hopelessly stupid.”Obama chose them to weave the most elaborate fabrication of his anticipated legacy.
Obama chose them to weave the most elaborate fabrication of his anticipated legacy.
The process of this plot that began in 2008, took many years because the artful Iranians understood that it would take time to introduce to Obama’s coteries and his not always accommodating congressional court and the media, and even longer to deceive them into accepting it. The Iranians and Obama knew that to accept this new weave, those who do not wish to be seen as “hopelessly stupid,” will have to acknowledge – to paraphrase former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld – that there are things that they know they can’t see. But there are also invisible invisibles, things they don’t know they can’t see. Moreover, the more fabrications they present and the longer it took, the the more money and other concessions they got.
Eager to encourage the Iranian, Obama’s disinformation Wazir Ben Rhodes ran “an echo chamber” in which the “experts” who could not see the advantage of the Iran deal, but pretend they can for fear of losing their positions in Obama’s court, went on validating what the Iranians and Obama’s Wazir instructed them to say.
Finally, after the Iranian weavers had accomplished the deal with Obama was ready, they and Obama’s coteries either parented not to see or were “haplessly stupid” to recognize the very visible dangerous yarn of the Iran deal and praised Emperor’s Obama’s new Iranian clothes.
But here the White House departed from Andersen’s story line. Now they admit that traces of man-made uranium from Iran’s Parchin complex were used in a weapons program. The reasons for this already known fact at this time are unknown. But if the media’s past submission to the White House’s “echo chamber” is any indication, Emperor Obama may continue to proudly parade himself wrapped in a web of deceptions, which despite ample evidence to the contrary, he claim is the world’s most peace advancing legacy.
And the artful Iranian? This “foremost state sponsor of terrorism,” according to U.S. legislators, goes on spending billions of dollars given to them by Obama to increase their military might, deepening their involvement in the Middle East and beyond. They send “troops, weapons, military-related parts, rockets, and missiles to hostile actors around the world, including, but not limited to, Hezbollah, Hamas, Islamic Jihad, the Houthi Rebels in Yemen, and the Bashar Al-Assad Regime in Syria,” while buying influence through large trade agreements with cash-needy, jittering European and other Western countries, including America’s Boeing Corporation. All this while they are suing the U.S. for more.
What a legacy.
