In his journey towards his election as President of the United States, Barack Obama built his myth. Many, especially Europeans, needed to believe in him after the presidency of Bush. He appeared as a liberal. As the opposite of Bush. As an opponent of the establishment. Ultimately, he proves to be a continuation of his predecessor's policies, albeit with a more "gentle" face.
The "Big Brother," the NSA, was monitoring, as revealed, the communications of millions of citizens, including Angela Merkel. Under Obama and with his orders, the deadly unmanned aircraft (drones) execute suspected "terrorists" around the world, along with hundreds of innocent civilians. Under Obama, the war in Afghanistan escalated, triggering a civil war in Pakistan. Under Obama, dictatorships were supported, and America stood against the democratization movements in the Middle East while encouraging the military coup in Egypt.
The myth of Obama had taken such proportions that he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize immediately after being elected, based solely on his declarations. In the pages of this book, the real Obama and the chaotic distance between his beautiful words and his raw actions are revealed. Undeniable evidence shatters illusions and myths.
