And as was obvious to the less-smitten amongst us, the pollyana gobbledygook he laid on the left to get himself elected was never going to work in reality- a fact that the calculating opportunist Obama likely knew full-well back when he was promising them the moon and the stars.

it wld be good for USans and the world to esatblish a strong second party. Does nader lead a party or movement? Movements and orgs, as a rule, achieve little or only what one party approves of.

there is always enlightenment available. People cld teach their kids at home about what the flag really represents; it represents about 10-15% of amer pop.
or that constitution is an iterpretative writ and solely or largely interpreted by judges appointed by one party system.
and thus you’d obtain opposition to present lying/deceiving institutions.
obviously, it make take decades to establish even a fledgling opposing party. But without a second political party, one party rule wld remain for centuries or until some cataclysmic event occurs.
going from door to door or car to car and pasing onthis vital and enlightening knowledge wld help.
i have done in vancouver. I passed leaflets; held banners whenUS was about to attack iraq.
at times i was alone. I had a few nasty encounters but most people wld accept my leaflets; especially if i wld smile and spoke softly or kindly. tnx

Don’t get me wrong, the political process would be a far cleaner way to achieve the kinds of goals we seek: basically to get back our human, labor and monetary rights outlined in the constitution, and to further enumerate rights and limitations that are absent in the original document.

A non-aggression mandate is necessary, as is a process for states to recall senators and representatives that fail to uphold constitutional law.

I want guaranteed access to quality health-care and education for our citizenry as well, but I doubt that more government monopolies (they already have it with primary and secondary ed) are solutions, merely stop gaps. The government should not be a producer of goods and services, they either suck at everything (?) they do, or deliberately hamstring or siphon off the programs. O.K. There must be something they do well . . . fire-fighters seem to provide pretty reliable services, libraries, . . . um . . . help me out if you can on this one. I’d like to be wrong. Local governments do a much better job than the behemoth that spilled out of the ten square miles of DC. Pare it back down, spank it, don’t empower it. Stop the predatory private banks, return to The People the power to coin money and create credit out of thin air, guarantee a Social Dividend to every man and woman and the issues of access to basic needs would disappear. We’d never hear a wealthy Red complain about paying taxes and welfare again.

And oh yeah, Industrial Hemp could help the farmers in my state, A LOT.

Take heart, the Peaceful Revolution for Humanity and Freedom has a significant number of police, firefighters, active and retired military as well as “intelligence” agents. It is here, it’s gathering steam. That is why Janet Napolitano’s agency is targeting some of them as terrorists. The trick is to not let knee-jerk, single issue distractions drive that wedge between people. That’s the hardest part. Choosing unity over competition. People over pet ideology/identity.

I still get really threatened Obamabots ire up when I point out the obvious, when I cite legislation, when I speak of the backgrounds of appointed cabinet members, when I dare speak of reality. He’s a hologram to complete a well orchestrated psychological operation on the citizens of this country. Us, the products of the Federally controlled Public Fool System.

And yes, Revolution. Stop cooperating with all top – down systems. Get rid of the cell phone, you don’t really need it. It’s just expensive and an open line (even when OFF) to the surveillance apparatus and therefore is a completely false sense of security. Get your kids OUT of the Public Fool System and teach them how to be disobedient, to dissent, to develop moral courage. Stop using plastic to pay, it robs businesses of a percentage of profit and feeds the surveillance and illegitimate pilfering by the financial giants. Stop paying Federal Taxes.

Become as inconvenient to government and as useful and respected by your neighbors as possible.

The Goldman Sachs fraud with no content of character told us: “Make me do it.” Game’s on.

As always,

That has a ‘ring’ of truth to it.

So many of my friends were so hopeful about Obama (O’Bushma) when he ‘won’ the election. They were quite angry with me because I said then he would not change anything, really. His ’stuff’ was rhetoric.

On the one hand, I am pleased I was NOT wrong. On the other, there are moments when I wish the American hologram … the illusion that we are good and our policies just, that the constitution takes care of us, that the US isn’t a vicious, self-serving empire … was true.

It is not true, alas.

So, what is to be done?

Revolution … and until then, it is all just rhetoric.
