What are the Similarities between Obama and Nixon?
Part 1 – The Enemies list then and Now

The multitude of scandals that is brewing around President Obama is increasing every day. The White House is in full deny and obfuscation mode. Obama has fallen back to his usual, “I didn’t know that. The first I heard of that was on the news.” Obama has used this many times in the past and the media had always given him a pass. Press Secretary Jay Carney is using the classic “No Comment” defense when asked about the Department of Justice (DOJ) seizing Associated Press (AP) reporters phone lines. Attorney General Eric Holder is claiming he recused himself from the AP investigation very early on. We know Richard Nixon had his enemies list. His list though was easily compiled by watching the major news networks, newspapers and anyone from singers or actors to average people who spoke at rallies who opposed him. Nixon’s list was manually compiled and was pretty simple and limited. Obama’s is much more dangerous. Obama, who is the first president to win the presidency in a large part due to Big Data and a mastery of Social Media. The office in Chicago set up by David Axelrod to use Big Data and Link Social Media to voters was simply brilliant. There are many articles looking into it from ARStecnica.com to MIT’s Technological review, but the most comprehensive is from Sasha Issenberg who wrote a book called the Victory Lab. http://www.amazon.com/Victory-Lab-Science-Winning-Campaigns/dp/030795479X/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1368646723&sr=1-1&keywords=sasha+issenberg We still don’t know the details of what data, algorithms, and pattern matching criteria they used. This is kept under lock and key and no one from the Chicago “Cave” as it was called is talking. This is not surprising as Obama and his team’s penchant for secrecy is Nixonian or worse. At least the media hated Nixon and were doing their job as a watchdog on power as the Founders intended when they wrote the Bill of Rights and made Freedom of Speech the very 1st Amendment. They did this on purpose; it wasn’t an accident that Freedom of Speech is the 1st Amendment. Obama’s hatred of truth tellers and whistle blowers is legendary. In Obamaland, no person, not even a journalist is safe as the Associated Press is finding out. http://www.washingtonsblog.com/2012/09/in-america-journalists-are-considered-terrorists.html What is truly frightening is that Obama’s use of Big Data and Social Media can be used to find any small collection between two people. It may be able to link your reading of this article to your Google and Facebook accounts and the numbers you have called on your smartphone. From there it can determine everyone you have emailed, texted, called and read on the Web. If you hit enough parameters, then you may be determined to be an enemy of Obama. What I just wrote might not even be true, but from where I sit in Silicon Valley, I know people who are writing these sorts of type of correlation algorithms. It is truly Orwellian. The Soviet Union and the East German Stasi could only dream of control like this. Here is my favorite story about the East German Stasi and their ability to track enemies and remember they had one officer per every 2000 people. An opponent of the East German President, Erich Honecker would buy a newspaper and cut out a picture of Honecker and write, “pig” over Honecker’s face and mail it to the Communist headquarters. This went on for weeks and then months. This infuriated the Communist Party. The then put the Stasi in charge of catching this man. The Stasi was able to determine the man lived in East Berlin from the Post Office Stamping. That was all they knew. The Stasi then had the local newspaper print a different number on the back of each picture of Honecker in each newspaper and associate it with either an home address, business address or where each paper would be sold. Once, this was done, they caught the write of “pig” very quickly and I am sure he must have been tortured in a Stalag for at least a decade if he was lucky. This took an unbelievable amount of manpower and effort for the Stasi in a Police State. The power Obama has is something the Stasi could only dream of.
