I'm not disagreeing with you and not claiming that Obama is the messiah. But you overestimate exactly how much control those groups have over the media. They do have a very strong influence over the media, but people have access to a huge number of different sources with the spread of media like the internet.
Its not like it is in 1984. For one, those groups familiarity with technology isn't at the level where they can unilaterally block the influx and outflow of media that easily. Frankly, they just aren't smart enough to do it. China has more control over the media in some ways than any of the groups you are mentioning.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
