Samantha Power
I am watching Samantha Power on C-Span/. What a dilemma she is in now. Having at first written a book about genocide in Iraq calling for intervention (in order to trash the US). Then having been surprised that the US did intervene to stop the cruelty, she had to scramble to stay in favor with the boys on the left and trash all the fine people who were struggling to liberate that country.
Now she has written another book, and having spent time in Darfur she must discuss Darfur Yet, how can she still be the heroine; still keep her anti-war hatred fresh and clean for Obama and the boys on the left while discussing the genocide on women in Darfur. Don't worry she finds the way.
You should see the manic energy she projects while silencing the other woman on the stage with her.
Now she is trying to explain to Jews why she supports the Palestinians in their genocidal determination to wipe Jews off the face of the earth. C-Span will have this on video so you can watch it.
Try to watch critically - she is young, thin, with long hair - talks animatedly and with a sense of urgency. She seems to be so relevant and humanitarian. She will feed your longing to do the right thing. You want to follow her. Pay attention to what she is saying. She is actually talking in circles. It is a circle going round and round building up only her own ego. The end of every thought is, do nothing. The people she writes about, she abandons. All she offers is a sense of involvement without any real assistance delivered to hurting people. But years of books to write and many many royalties to collect.
Oh yes and vote for Obama -- every world tragedy she manages to reduce to Vote for Obama and Create Commissions. He doesn't take lobby money she lies - lets not mention the nuclear industry or all the lobbyists on his staff. What is her definition of lobby money? What does "Is" mean?
Power's is everything that is corrupt about our people. Sound devoid of accountability. Marketing. Worse, she sounds as if she has a schoolgirl crush- embarrassing . But worse than embarrassing. Power urges the audience not to act. Her charisma means no help for people. She urges the audience to get lost in talk and quells action.
The schoolgirl crush, the empty manic talk, are only redeemed by the books she writes. Because there is information in those books we can use. But don't get fooled again.
Go to Book TV search page here. Type in the Name Power and this video will pop up.
