2002-10 Regular color-coded terrorist alerts.

2003 February. Secretary of State Colin Powell gives false testimony at the U.N., asserting that Iraq possesses chemical and biological weapons of mass destruction and must be confronted.

2003 March. The U.S. attacks Iraq based on lies.

2003-8 Bush wages war on Iraq, Afghanistan, etc. Homeland "security" leads to indefinite detention, black sites, torture, spying on Americans, the loss of Constitutional rights, etc.

2007 February 10. Barack Obama, having been a U.S. Senator for 2 years 1 month, announces he is running for president.

2008 September. An international financial meltdown occurs. The government claims it was unforeseen. The Bush administration bails out the big banks and financial institutions.

2008 November. A seriously inexperienced senator from Illinois, Barack Obama, comes out of nowhere to be elected president on a populist platform of "hope" and "change." He receives more backing from Wall Street than his Republican rival. Liberals and progressives go wild for joy. Hope and change is proclaimed.

2009 Lawrence Summers, former CEO of Goldman Sachs, takes up his position as head of Obama's economic team. Timothy Geithner, former head of the New York Federal Reserve, whose father, Peter Geithner, oversaw the Ford Foundation's programs in Indonesia developed by Obama's mother, becomes Secretary of the Treasury. And Robert Gates, former CIA Director and George W. Bush's Secretary of Defense, continues in that position for Obama.
