CRIMES AND CORRUPTION OF THE NEW WORLD ORDER NEWS

Mike Whitney

Saturday, 12 January 2008

SNIP...Does it seem to you, dear reader, that we could save the taxpayer a lot of money and trouble by just returning to the “old system” of letting 9 judges on the Supreme Court chose our leaders? Why do we continue with this pointless sham?

Look, our elections are being run by corporations that have an obvious stake in the outcome. There's a heap of money involved and nothing is left to chance. The media's job is to make us feel like we have a choice. We don't.

The only reason the farce continues is because the ruling elite believe that perception management is the cheapest way to control the bewildered herd. And, of course, they're right. Pulling a lever every 4 years is a type of political empowerment. It makes us feel like we're part of the decision-making process, which makes it easier to accept the “shittier and shittier paying jobs”, the curtailed civil liberties and the endless wars. (Thanks George Carlin)

This year we can choose from a slate of 8 candidates; all of whom are members of the secretive Council on Foreign Relations; and all of whom are wholly committed to the off-shoring of businesses, the outsourcing of jobs, the expansion of police-state powers, and the obscene enlargement the already over-bloated War Machine. The only exceptions are Ron Paul and Dennis Kucinich who are treated like pariahs by the establishment media.

1. Tinfoil city

"The primary was stolen. End of story. Now, it's our move."

End of story. Right. Proving that Marc Parent isn't just lazy, he's trying to tell his readers who to vote for.

Imagine if Hillary did that.

And by the way, what happens when Obama wins in jurisdictions that are counted by Diebold (Premier)?

The "Hillary is Evil, Hillary is KKKorpr0ate" meme has half the world by the neck. 100% of her increased support is coming from people who are as sick of hipster lefties as they are of Gott Mit Uns conservatives.

There is a real, tangible, bona-fide case to be made against Hillary Clinton. I haven't seen it being made here yet. I don't expect I will, either.

There is also a real, tangible, bona-fide case to be made against Barak Obama. If it is made, it will certainly be discounted as a dirty trick from Eeevil Hillary.

2. Hey, it's not all about HRC

Two separate issues:

1.) Electronic voting machines really do suck, big time. The voting results and polls didn't exactly agree. I think it's great that Kucinich is asking for a hand count, if for no other reason than it will force people to take a second look at the private company running the voting show, and some of the convicted felons (named in the article) running that company.

2.) HRC may not be the KKKorporate personification of Evul, but I haven't seen too many persuasive or convincing explanations defending her record, or her platform, against the charges that she's a sell-out. They all tend to be really huffy, offended, and insulting, but don't directly address the issue.

3. I see all the candidates D&R as Corporate Illusionist

If your looking for a debate on a particular candidate it won't be coming from me. :)

4. yes, it is a truly dreadful article

The "secretive Council on Foreign Relations"? Puh-leeze.

I don't think the author even bothered to shape the tin foil into a hat -- just kind of strewed it hither and yon.
