Barack Obama is a deeply troubled personality, the megalomaniac front man for a postmodern coup by the intelligence agencies, using fake polls, mobs of swarming adolescents, super-rich contributors, and orchestrated media hysteria to short-circuit normal politics and seize power. Obama comes from the orbit of the Ford Foundation, and has never won public office in a contested election. His guru and controller is Zbigniew Brzezinski, the deranged revanchist and Russia-hater who dominated the catastrophic Carter presidency 30 years ago. All indications are that Brzezinski recruited Obama at Columbia University a quarter century ago. Trilateral Commission co-founder Brzezinski wants a global showdown with Russia and China far more dangerous for the United States than the Bush-Cheney Iraq adventure. Obama's economics are pure Skull & Bones/Chicago school austerity and sacrifice for American working families, all designed to bail out the bankrupt Wall Street elitist financiers who own Obama. Obama's lemming legions and Kool-Aid cult candidacy hearken back to Italy in 1919-1922, and raise the question of postmodern fascism in the United States today. Obama is a recipe for a world tragedy. No American voter can afford to ignore the lessons contained in this book.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"An important concept in this critique is the CIA Color Revolution/People Power coups that have been staged in Ukraine, Serbia, Georgia and Belarus. This book maintains that the Obama candidacy is just such a coup. As outrageous as that sounds, the book makes an excellent case." -- Phillip M. Rose "Amazon.com"

When Obama first started becoming a brand name in the political world, people had a great deal of mixed reaction. Those on the left proclaimed that upon the Chosen One's election, we'd experience a new golden age of togetherness and unity. The right rambled about Obama being a communist, a Muslim, and a socialist. This book does neither. It is an indictment against what an Obama presidency would mean for the world, and even more significantly, it attacks Obama from the left. It attacks him from the perspective of someone who is a New Deal, American System Traditionalist Democrat. Tarpley cuts through all the nonsense of "socialism" and new "golden ages" and calls Obama what he is: a Wall Street puppet. Tarpley proclaims that Obama is the new Jimmy Carter, in that he will promise much, but his loyalties to Wall Street and his puppet status will crush and mortify any hope of carrying out much needed reform.

Tarpley dedicates a great deal of time to examining the presidency of Jimmy Carter in an attempt to get a feel for what Obama would do if he were to win the presidency (this book was written before Obama even got the Democratic nomination). Tarpley examines the aspects of the Carter presidency in which Carter talked with a populist tone, but in the end, demanded sacrifice from the American people during a terrible economic time. Amazingly, we are seeing this unfold before our eyes today. Perhaps the most chilling warning deals with Obama's foreign policy advisor and main controller Zbigniew Brzezinski. Those who know about Brzezinski know that his main stock and trades consist of his hatred of Russia and orchestrating "people power coups" to turn foreign countries into tools of aggression against other nations. It was done with Carter and there's a very good chance that what we are witnessing in the Middle East and in Africa are a reflection of the Brzezinski policy in action. Another amazing prediction by Tarpley was that the US would intervene in Africa under the pretext of human rights, which is currently underway in Libya.

The easiest way to know what a president will do is by examining their advisers, which is another part of The Post Modern Coup that is extremely important. Tarpley goes through the ideology and the background of Obama's known advisers at the time - Susan Rice, Samantha Power, Brzezinski, and Austan Goolsbee to paint a picture of deep budget cuts, continuation of the Bush wars, starting new wars under different pretenses than that of Bush, and other orgies of disaster. There is also a great deal of writing dedicated to examining the history of fascism and how a mass movement of fanatics historically have had catastrophic results. It served as an ominous warning in the midst of the shameless groveling of the media at the feet of the Chosen One. Unfortunately, few listened.

Part of what hinders Tarpley's work is the fact that he often comes to conclusions that, while logical to those who have some background information, are not always readily understood by the average person. He'll often declare something to be true, but not provide all the necessary groundwork for the reader to fully understand his analysis. This is unfortunate, because Tarpley has a tremendous gift of intellect, but his approach is often not easily understood by people who do not have the same historical perspective. Another aspect that hinders the book is the fact that Tarpley repeats himself several times throughout the book, which gives the feeling that it was a book that was written with a great deal of haste.

Since this book was written prior to Obama even winning the Democratic nomination, it's an important text to reflect on. Tarpley had Obama figured out possibly before anyone else.

Tired of the fake, controlled, contrived taking points both for and against Obama in the corporate media? Check this book out. Even if you disagree with everything the author says in the book, you'll still have a whole new perspective on this thanks to Tarpley.

Obama The Postmodern Coup

Reviewed in the United States on June 12, 2011

This book was written BEFORE Obama was elected as a kind of warning of what we might expect should Obama be elected. Tarpley's warnings of just how awful an Obama presidency might be have proven to be chillingly accurate. he writes "Obama has been trained to hate Americans through two decades of association with hate-mongers including Brezinski, Rockefeeler ans Soros, Obama's hatred of American people is a positive guarantee that he will enforce Wall St's austerity decrees with avengeance.Forget the Utopian platitudes and the messenianic rhertoric (of his campaign), Obama real economic program is now clear for all to see.It is a path that leads to genocide agianist the US population. among others"...we will see he is a proponent of savage austerity and the wrecking of entitlements, American living standards will fall 40 -50 % under Obama.
We will see Obama usher in the "credit-carbon swap" to be the next blast for Wall St...we will see his clever plan to give Wall St money to buy up hard assets, in other words the remaining wealth in our nation as the meltdown crisis over a quadrillion in derivative losses grows and grows.
And then on Obama's plan for war; blatant meddling in the internal affairs of sovereign states under the guise of concern of human rights....including the CIA destabilization of these target countries...he warns that US,British and NATO are the very essence of international anarchy including gun running and drug running...
And he warns that Obama is the biggest warmonger the US has ever had seated as President...Tarpley writes that Bush created a dictatorship and Obama will take us on the next step to fascism...we are entering a top down police state and chances are high he will launch the USA into a nuclear war...
In other words, this book is the telling of an American HORROR story....that is still unfolding. I couldn't put this book down. It is a riveting read and hopefully it will resonate with Americans everywhere so that we might somehow intercede in what is Obama's doomsday plan for us....God, help us all.

This book could have been so much better...

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 9, 2009

Verified Purchase

I bought this book because I wanted to get under the skin of the man, see what was really making him tick.

I have no doubt that Mr Terpley knows a lot about Obama and his background and this book should have been a gold mine of information and revelation.

The first problem with it is that itis written primarily for a US readership. A good half of it is inside info, attacks, jokes, invective etc. on last years presidential campaign and on post-war US politics ingeneral, that only Americans or foreigners intimately familiar with US politics would understand.

Then it seems a very disjointed document. His writing style is a mixture of intelligence gathering and sharing, political journalism and gutter press. It is not an easy mixture to wade through. He has very strong and forthright opinions on individuals; fine. But he seems to provide very little evidence for his claims about Obama or his background. It reads very much like 'I'm Webster Terpley - of course I'm right, how could you doubt me..?'

I almost wishhe had written a straightforward intelligence report on Obama; it would have been more persuasive. I really found it just too much trouble wading through all the speculation, supposition and invective to dig up his solid information. And how solid it is is questionable, because he doesn't back it up or reveal sources.

This book to my mind really is a huge missed opportunity. Seems I'll have to look elsewhere forthe reality of Obama.

Tarpley Is A Prophet

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 18, 2009

You can tell the book was rushed out. There are repetitions and the structure is not great towards the end.....BUT....

Tarpley was predicting Obama's victory when Clinton was still the frontrunner. He has the inside track somewhere.

He predicted every nuance of Obama's agenda and every betrayal that has since come to pass.

He said that the first thing that Obama would do is bomb Pakistan. This happened.

He said Obama's program would be Malthusian and fascistic (with 'left-cover'). So it is.

He said Obama would be an owned creature of Wall Street. Paulson, Geithner, the TARP, the bail-out.......say no more.

Terrifyingly, he says that Obama is a much more dangerous lunatic that Bush (who attacked little countries that couldn't hit back)....that he would challenge and risk getting in a fight with Russia and China!!!

.....don't bet against it.
