32. So Obama is powerless in the face
of almighty "them." (or they)

They're not seizing power because they can't. They're too unpopular, things
are too screwed up, and won't get away with it. The success of their neo-fascist
program is that nobody noticed. Overtly seizing power through election fraud or
emergency legislation was not practical.

And it's not necessary. They hold the cards. They've handed Obama the Augean
stables to clean, and they're going to do everything they can to obstruct and
thwart him, and blame him for his failures. They can certainly arrange military
embarrassments for him (as was done for Carter and Clinton) and another 9/11 might
cause a Republican sweep in 2012. They're not just going away.

Besides, Obama won't dare pursue any meaningful change--taking down the Federal
Reserve and the CIA and the military-industrial complex, for instance. He's
already declared a hawkish nature. And he can't afford any fancy social programs.
So from their standpoint, how much damage can he do? He's the ideal front man
for them--the one who may not even know he's a front.

Nothing changes, we just switched from Sprite to Pepsi, that's all.



So who the hell is they, them, their ?
