The so-called ‘soft power‘ doctrine is a term used extensively by Joseph S. Nye, Jr., who is a Harvard University professor and is considered to be the godfather of ‘neo-liberalism’, which is a fancy way of saying that foreign policy should be predicated upon the use of financial payoffs rather than through military power. It is rather obvious by now that the soft power doctrine has been fully adopted by B. Hussein Obama, and it is failing miserably.

From Iran to Honduras to Israel and Pakistan, the notion that payments of money to one party or the other in a conflict can help resolve the conflict by means other than through violence. There is one catch to this, however, which is that the issuance of the fiat currency needed to pull this kind of new world order off causes financial distress and hardship, scandals, corruption, and eventually inflation and the ruination of currencies and along with it the financial system.

This is precisely why you will hear liberals denounce the fact that Obama will announce sending in more troops to Afghanistan on Tuesday even though his campaign promise was to defeat al Qaeda and the Taliban. The way in which Obama and his ilk plan to defeat international terrorism (or any foe for that matter) is by printing money and handing it out to America’s sworn enemies. You can view a stellar example of this policy in action given the payoffs to the Taliban from the Pakistani ISI, the source of the funds being the US and more specifically the Obama administration.

The Daily Nigger has contended from the outset that in order to pull this outrageous foreign policy off, the bankers have to be on one’s side. Fully implementing the soft power doctrine required complicity among the banks and the Federal Reserve, which has never backed down so far. The Fed being a secretive institution answering to no one is the perfect source for Obama’s soft power doctrine.

Here is Bernanke responding to a question during a congressional hearing about where the money is going…

This is precisely the meaning of the Democrats and Republicans being two sides of the same coin, that is, both require deficit spending in order to further a doctrine of projecting American power abroad. The way in which the money gets spent varies slightly from one administration to the other, however, Obama is relying heavily upon the soft power doctrine, which is now wreaking havoc in the financial world and is clearly not achieving the intended results on the ground in Afghanistan, Iran, Israel, and other countries. Iran just announced that it will build 10 more uranium enrichment plants, and Israel caved into Obama’s demands for a 10-month moratorium on West Bank construction. Ironically, the moratorium expires just before the 2010 mid-term US congressional elections and is nothing more than a face saving mechanism to show that “progress” has been made in the Middle East. No doubt there were financial promises made to Netanyahu in return for what amounts to nothing less than a political favor.

As for Iran, it is evident that they simply could not care less what Obama is saying to them. Ahmadinejad bitch slapped Obama by visiting with President Lula of Brazil, and the only recourse Obama has is to endorse the conservative candidate of Honduras leaving his former friend, Zelaya, in limbo at the Brazilian embassy in Tegucigalpa.

Meanwhile, the US dollar and the underlying economy itself has been so weakened by the soft power doctrine that there is quite simply no further bargaining position available. The soft power doctrine is now dead on arrival, and the blame for it is clearly Mr. Obama’s, however, none of the mainstream media is calling this failed policy out. Quite simply put, they are ignoring the 800 lb. gorilla in the room, which is their own corporate profits, which will be threatened if they dared speak out. The media has as much to gain from shielding this destructive game from the public as do the recipients of the funds. The soft power doctrine is giant shell game that has now failed.
