An outspoken critic of the US administration claims President Barack Obama had been handpicked by the current Wall Street moguls to safeguard the financial hub.
On Wednesday, author and journalist Webster Tarpley said people like former US national security adviser Zbignew Brzezinski, whom he claimed enjoyed considerable control over Wall Street, and others had chosen Obama among a ‘pliable’ group to step in should the financial watchdog face trouble.
“My finding in terms of Obama’s biography is that he was probably recruited by people like Zbignew Brzezinski or Samuel P. Huntington at Columbia University in 1981-1982, so Obama was groomed over a long period of time,” he said in an interview with Russia Today.
Tarpley, known for accusing military and intelligence apparatuses of orchestrating the September 11, 2001 attacks, said the president had effected ‘dictatorship of finance capital’ visible in his prioritizing financial concerns at a cost of other issues.
“About 13 trillion dollars of Federal Reserve money and US Treasury money have gone to Wall Street,” he claimed.
The alleged financial tsars like “Brzezinski, David Rockefeller and the trilateral commission,” which monitors the cooperation between the United States, Europe and Japan, “groom politicians so that when a crisis arrives, they have a number of politicians ready to go that they can put into action and Obama is one of these.”
Comparing the current authorities to their predecessors, Tarpley called the present administration a more ‘dangerous’ one which worked through ‘deception’ by pitting world nations against each other while keeping Washington uninvolved.
“Obama operates with deception, with trickery, with dissembling, with mass duping of the population.”
Obama’s inaugural committee received the chunkiest contributions from Wall Street which in 2008 survived its worst year since the Great Depression in the 1920s and 30s.
The committee, which refused money from corporations, registered lobbyists, unions or political action committees, welcomed the funds submitted by heavyweight financiers like George Soros, Ronald Perlman and David Shaw.
