70. You said better than I did, in a whole lot fewer words!
My worry is that these psyops are not just idle media games. It's a very intense campaign. It is so similar to the Iraq WMD campaign that it feels like the prelim to war. It may be yet another oil war that the realities of the world have made it impossible for the Bushwhacks to carry out, like Iran. But, on the other hand, denial of Iran's oil must make Venezuela's oil all the more tempting to the servants of Exxon Mobil. And, given the Democrats'--and even Obama's--echoing of the psyops 'talking points,' we are not out of the woods, as to Oil War-South America, just by Obama taking power as president and commander in chief. We could see a "Bay of Pigs" scenario, a "Gulf of Tonkin" scenario, and a whole lot of other scenarios, to try to trap Obama into an oil war in this hemisphere, and we've got the Clinton-Biden faction to worry about on both the economic and military fronts. Clinton's chief campaign adviser was a paid agent of the Colombian government, for godssakes. And Biden has always been wedded to the war industry. Biden on the ticket was the signal that Obama had to compromise with the pro-corporate, pro-war Democratic leaders, in order to win. They now have the lead on policy, from what I can see. And what Bill Clinton did, as president, was to set us up for Bush's war on Iraq, and for the 'free trade' looting that led to this financial 9/11. That faction of the leadership--the Clintons, the Bidens, the Feinsteins, the Dodds, the Reids, the Pelosis, the McAuliffes--betrayed us on the war and on 'TRADE SECRET' vote counting (all in the same month-Oct 02). Neoliberalism was their baby. Bush just took it to its logical conclusion: looting everybody, by force and by Diebold.

I am encouraged by what I think was an Obama emissary to Chavez earlier this year (Bill Richardson, who spent an amicable hour and a half with Chavez, ostensibly about the three US hostages in Colombia, and afterwards did a friendly press conference), and of course by Obama's pledge to "talk to our enemies," and I certainly know what a minefield he is walking through, to try to oust this extremely dangerous junta. I do believe that he is a peace-minded man, but the Bushwhacks have not set things up for peace, and the global corporate predators who are running things have put such a squeeze on the poor, here and worldwide, that conditions looks hauntingly similar to the Great Depression-WW II era. Who will be the aggressor this time--over resources, land and cheap labor--while harboring notions of "superiority"? It could well be us.

Obama is certainly no candidate for Hitler II, but there is no security, with the voting system the way it is, and the media the way it is, and the financial 9/11 that just occurred, that he will be re-elected in 2012. In fact, it looks all set up for Hitler II to be Diebolded into office at that point. And they won't need "brownshirts" stuffing ballot boxes and beating up voters to do it. One hacker, a couple of minutes, and millions of votes can changed, without detection. When have fascists and multi-billionaires ever had that kind of power and not used it?

Their letting Obama win will be used to shut us all up about the 'TRADE SECRET' code. And that will be that.

Dark thoughts on this morning, nine days before an Obama rout. The lies about Chavez lead me here. And the 'TRADE SECRET' code. And the 4th Fleet. How can the 4th Fleet be justified? What threat is there in the Caribbean? Absolutely none. But what is there, in the Caribbean, that Exxon Mobil wants? Zulia. Is this the "difficult decision" Biden was talking about the other day, that he said we will need to trust them on?
