		<description>Mary, I&#039;ll do you one better about Jindal. He passed and Intelligent Design Act that allows public school teachers to bring in outside material into science classes to teach the &quot;other&quot; theory of evolutionary biology. (Nevermind, the fact that legislation is in violates a LA Supreme Court ruling that the Creationism Act was unconstitutional.)

And that man is considered a frontrunner for 2012? Deargod, I hate that he&#039;s my State&#039;s governor. It is humiliating.</description>

		<description>Agreeing with Suthiano and thinking of what I have learned once at university, among others about rats and their survival program, how they are able to warn each other, even when they are already poisoned, shortly before their death, they appear to me as if they would have a better chance for surviving than human beings have.
By the way, the original slogan was a Cuban one, &quot;Si, lo puedo!&quot;, that of their alphabetization program in Venezuela and Latin America.
Yes, it is our man made system, which is going to collapse.
Nevertheless, stand up,  join each other, you are the American people. Stop leading the world to catastrophe!</description>

		<description>The American Free Press February 2009 had this article on the goodly number of Rothschild agents/Rhodes scholars given key jobs in the Obama administration. Noteworthy.  And is the Ezekial Emanuel mentioned in the list related to Rahm?

Rothschild Agents Take 10 Key Posts
In Administration of Rookie President  

By Michael Collins Piper

OUR GREATEST FOUNDING FATHER and first president, George Washington, probably wouldn’t be ready to celebrate his birthday on Feb. 22 if he were alive today. Having led the 13 colonies to independence from the British Empire in 1783, following the course of a difficult eight-year struggle by those freedom-loving American colonists who followed him, Washington (who lived from 1732 to 1799) would most assuredly be appalled to see that the liberties achieved from the American Revolution are now being flagrantly defied by a number of figures who populate the upper ranks of the administration of Barack Obama.

Six former Rhodes Scholars (educated at Oxford University in Britain) and four others associated with the London School of Economics are serving in key posts in the Obama administration. That’s not good. 

Here are 10 of the key “British”—that is, Rothschild —operatives now ensconced in the Obama administration (more can be expected):

Susan Rice—ambassador to the UN; Michael McFaul—head of the Russian desk at the National Security Council; Elena Kagan—solicitor general of the United States; Anne-Marie Slaughter—State Department policy planning staff; Neal S.Wolin—deputy counsel to the president for economic policy; Ezekial Emanuel—senior counselor at the White House Office of Management and Budget on health care policy; Lawrence Summers—head of the National Economic Council; Peter Orszag—director of the Office of Management and Budget; Peter Rouse—senior advisor to the president; Mona Sutphen—deputy chief of the White House staff.

The truth about the Rhodes Scholarships is not known to the average American who is constantly told by the mass media that Rhodes Scholars (such as former President Bill Clinton) are among “the best and the brightest.”

The Rhodes Scholarships—awarded to Americans and students from other former British colonies—are funded by a trust set up by 19th Century British imperial figure Cecil Rhodes, whose intent was to indoctrinate these scholars with the theme that the American colonies should be reunited with the British Empire and that they should work through “public service” to achieve that goal.

But Rhodes wasn’t just some rich madcap dreamer. His ventures were underwritten by the international Rothschild dynasty operating from the financial district in London known as “The City”—the banking center of the Rothschild controlled British empire that also includes the London School of Economics.

So now a clique of internationalists trained in the idea of extinguishing American independence are ensconced in the Obama administration.

And another Rhodes Scholar, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, is widely touted as the great Grand Old Party candidate to “take back the White House” in 2012. Jindal doesn’t offer “change.” He—like the other globalists in the Obama administration—is part of the problem.

All of this is not a “conspiracy theory.” Rather, these facts are well known to those familiar with what the Rhodes scholarships are really about.</description>

		<description>&#039;reason and knowledge&#039; are two of the main causes of our current predicament. The &#039;scientific&#039; positivist way of thinking has lead to such disasters as pesticides, terminating seeds, the atomic bomb, nuclear power, combustion engines... etc.

as far as &#039;elites&#039; are concerned, it is reasonable to with hold truth from a public that cannot comprehend important issues... of course the public is &#039;mislead&#039; but why is the public unable to discern between reality and bullshit? public is retarded, spiritually. greedy consumers we do it to ourselves. the elites just manipulate us according to their knowledge and reason...

this has always been true... it is why the words rule and rex (king) can be traced back to the Sumerian word for &#039;shepherd&#039;. Because the public are a bunch of ignorant sheep without the capabilities to lead themselves.... transformation is necessary.... it will happen with or without human beings.</description>

		<description>max, you array your conclusions and facts in your own words and i in mine. But  factual presentation along with the conclusions, etc., are the same.

i have repeatedly asserted [don&#039;t know about you] that the only changes that ever take place are those that the ruling class finds it beneficial.
i also think that relying on  &#039;saviors&#039;  to change the basics is a great roadblock for basic changes.

the mad priests of judea have introduced to us the greatest savior ever; yet religions routinely approbate serial warfare. tnx</description>

		<description>Pilger about sums up what I&#039;m witnessing.

It&#039;s true one man cannot change decades, no, make that centuries of imperial empire. 

But if we concede that Obama is not the &quot;man&quot; to make such changes, then let&#039;s just say he&#039;s a more stylish George W. Bush. 

The US imperial policies are old and transcend presidents and parties. This is clear. I think Pilger has it exactly right when he says Obama is simply an attempt to put a better face on it; a little more Clinton and a little less Bush; but the policies are the same.

This is not about a &quot;man&quot; failing. It is about a failed system, a system which is failed based on its own advertising. Obama was marketed and sold. The fact that he is not this change agent seems more than apparent. Saying it out loud is refreshing. Let the sunshine in. Obama is a semi-black version of Clinton and Bush. The elites found their symbol, their guy to keep the lid on. Bush was a failure at that level; but he was right on message with his policies as is Obama - again, it&#039;s a question of whose agenda we&#039;re working to: the power elite or the people&#039;s?</description>

		<description>Yes there is a difference between believing in something and not believing in it.

&quot;There’s criticism, and there’s wanting someone to fail.&quot;

I wish there was no Catholic church.

That is a criticism, it is also an profession of my beliefs. Are we not aloud to make such statements?

Do we all have to believe in the current structures hoping they work, restraining ourselves just to &#039;criticism&#039;, or can we have more progressive and substantial discussions/discourses?</description>

		<description>Madness, indeed.
  Obama and spouse are very decorative lawn jockeys to place on the White House entryway. The corporate killers manipulating events and opinions have hit a home run with this one, vacuous words and phrases continue to give an appearance of &quot;government&quot; as trillions of debt generated dollars go out the back door.
 Substance?
  What a novel idea!
  As glaciers melt, as a sub continent of plastic the size of Europe floats off shore on the Pacific coast of South America, as the large fishes disappear, as all the warning signs that something is truly screwed up with the ecosystem, these fools continue to grab and kill to aquire &quot;more&quot;.
  Narcissism enthroned.
  Thanks for posting this great article.</description>

		<description>I charge Obama with failing to revolutionise global politics. Surely in 100 days he could have stopped centuries of bad practice and the inertia of the last 10 years? There&#039;s criticism, and there&#039;s wanting someone to fail.</description>
