Did you know that the international corporate media is out there selling off your country’s image to the world public like it was some cereal product, fast food delight, or some resort property located out in the Florida Everglades swamp? Well they do! And the un-United States of America (Cocoa Puff Nation) came out on top according to The Anholt-GfK Roper Nation Brands Index We’re Number One! We’re #One!
Now I had never heard of Anhold-GfK Roper Corporation and its efforts to sell our nation;s image ot others around the globe, until I read the <Reuter's News Disservice this morning. Here is what it told me… U.S. most admired country globally: survey
NEW YORK (Reuters Life!) – The United States is the most admired country globally thanks largely to the star power of President Barack Obama and his administration, according to a new poll… (that would be from the Roper image making machine, located in New York City)
When I was in Colombia this summer, I got asked about how I felt about Barack Obama, the Coco Puff President? I could see the look of dismay when I responded with a sarcastic remark to the man who wanted to know. In his eyes was the look and desire to have that US coco puff desert of a president as his own, and to trade in his own Donald Rumsfeld style, US supported death squad Colombian dictator, Alvaro Uribe for my ‘product’ I was so ungrateful about. He had the face of disbelief that said, ‘Well there’s no satisfying some people’ written well on it.
I didn’t say much because the world doesn’t quite know how US presidents are marketed. They don’t know much about Roper, the DSNC, or the hidden corporate rulers of the universe out there in the Big Bad World. Maybe they will some day? Maybe we will, too?
Coco Puff or Cocoa Puff? You choose how you see the guy!
