I have been trying to tell people at Truthdig for a while to investigate the connections between the candidates, and elite think tanks and societies that control them.

Greg:

“Republicans want to face Hillary Clinton because they think they have the best shot of winning against her.”

If this is true, then why are some of the most prominent neocons - Bill Kristol, David Frum, Norman Podhoretz, Murdoch’s NY Post et al - pulling for Obama to win the nomination?

Sorry, pal.  It seems that the GOP wants to face OBAMA, not Hillary.  And for good reason: he is a lightweight next to Hillary where dealing with the right-wing “investigate and smear” attack machine is concerned.

Peace.

I don’t want to vote for toilet paper!

Sir, I worked for JFK’s campaign in 1960. I lived during his all too short administration. While JFK did bring a lot of young people into his campaign that, quite frankly, is where the similarity between JFK and Obama end. JFK had 12 years of elected service to the U.S. Congress.(Obama two) JFK wrote scholarly books not pablum. (The Audacity of Hope. Gee. WOW! What arrogance of hype.) JFK was a true war hero. (What branch of the armed services did Obama serve? Also contrast that with McCain’s bona fide war hero status.) JFK did not stage rock group style campaign events. And he had a far fuller grasp of the issues of the day than Obama has, or has shown to date. Don’t stretch the JFK similarity too far. It won’t hold up, despite the Kennedy’s endorsements.

What I am saying is to do something different. I am not saying go the route of the Weathermen. I think one route is to go to these politicians and protest your concerns. While Hillary is shaking hands with the voters, some could ask her questions she won’t answer. People can bullhorn Bill Clinton. McCain can be confronted as well. We need to embarass and confront these criminals at every campaign stop. Let them know we aren’t fooled. Obama has to hear what people think of his crew of establishment hacks. Zbig should get an earful for his highhandedness and his scorn for the common people. You can feel his disdaind for the people in most of his academic works. Don’t support the candidates; protest them at every stop they make. You know the issues: everything from the Patriot Act, the 9-11 inside job to the damn wars. Understand that you are dealing with toilet paper. They get voted into office to do damage to the country and then they are retired by the people for another pat of toilet to carry on the nasty agenda.

Film these criminals. Throw hard questions at them that they don’t want to answer and then circulate these videos.

Does it matter all that much, Douglas? If the Dems do get the Whitehouse, I forsee people of your lot saying “Why is the Dem Prez punting on this?” “Why are we still in Iraq?” “We still have an economy damned by free trade treaties.” “How could this administration stab us in the back on Social Security?” “Why am I getting poorer? Voting Democrat was supposed to help me.”

And I will ask you which foundations were backing those empty suits? Or, “Did you know that so and so got this much from David Rockefeller? “Or did you know that advisor was a member of Shull and Bones, or the CFR?”

The reponses I get now are that they all have hangers on who are members of such organizatrions, so it doesn’t much matter. “I like their ideas.” “I like their proposals.”

We have 4 decades of administrations salted with these politburo types, and it hasn’t help us a bit.

I know you will ask me, “Well what are you going to do about it?”

But I do know one thing: if you are hitting yourself in the head with a hammer, and you are in pain, please stop it.

but who is good?

cyrena, talk IS cheap.  More than half of your post is untrue.  I am not going to go point by point, but
if you are as intelligent as you claim, just go to
factcheck.org and they tell you Obamas plan is questionable and Hillarys is workable and if you could read you would see those who can’t afford it will be helped.  Jeez just tell the truth.  Like I said the Obama cult is blind.  I wish I could be that gullible and I’d just go on down the road happy as a clam.

Yes, we all need a fresh, clean pat of toilet paper.

“What is amazing is that people, unfettered by any sense of reality or knowledge of history, believe in their “heart” or “mind” that either of these candidates can “change” the course to hell “we” have chosen.”

Better be careful with talk like that. Someone might acuse you of being mentally ill. I don’t think it is as simple as voting this party in or out in retaliation. If they all go to the same CFR speak-ins, and run with some of the same Trilateralists, they will give you old wine in bottles, which reminds of some of the wisdom of the New Testament:

1. Those with eyes to see will see.
2. Let the dead bury the dead.
3. Know them by their signs.

I understand that many writings have many meanings and mysteries. The most literal meaning will be grabbed by the profane.

We have had shadow government for a long time. In its own way the the real power lets itself be known if you are alert to its signs.
