Well, it’s almost over. Tomorrow is the final day of the election and we’ll know who the next President Elect is by the end of the night and know the congressional seating by the next morning. As for the President, my money is on Obama - not that I like him. In fact, I think he’s a slimy scum bag, only surpassed in sliminess in a very narrow margin by McCain.
I’ve heard this election being called “the most historic presidential election in our nation’s history”, over and over again by various players in the press. I have news for you morons: it’s the same shit as ever.
Now, I know many of you optimistic fools out there are looking to Obama for Change (© Barack Obama), but you’re not going to get it. If you’re voting for Obama, you’re not voting for change. You’re simply voting for a change of face.
In fact, I’ll lay odds down that the reason Obama was put up as the Democratic candidate to begin with and why a very unlikeable McCain was put in as the Republican candidate, is exactly so that Obama will win. The real powers that be are counting on Obama to win. In the process, the true powers that be behind the President have in place a convenient scapegoat to pin blame on the coming complete economic collapse and World War. He’s the fall guy. Once things fall apart, Obama will be used to fuel the desired racial tensions and class war, keeping the populace distracted from the real power mongering going on at a world scale.
The true power behind our economic and foreign policies have been the appointed individuals to key, non-elected positions of office. Take a look at Bush II’s staff and ask the question, weren’t a lot of these guys on Nixon’s staff? How many of them worked through the Reagan, Bush I and Clinton administrations? Hint: you’re going to see a lot of familiar names, all intertwined.
Take a look at Dennis Ross, for example. He was Clinton’s Mideast envoy, who also served the Project for the New American Century (PNAC) as a consultant - the same PNAC who’s members marched us with lies to war against Iraq. He co-founded AIPAC, Israel’s lobby in America, which damn near dictates our Mideast policy. He’s an associate of the Washington Institute for Near East Policy (WINEP), which includes names like Richard Perle, James Roche, James Wollsey and Paul Wolfowitz. He got his start under Paul Wolfowitz during the Carter administration and is now pushing hard to get himself placed under Obama’s cabinet.
Justin Raimondo has a very interesting article outlying much of the the problem with Obama and his foreign policy trends. I strongly suggest you read it, because Raimondo has hit the nail on the head too many times in the last eight years of the Bush fiasco. He understands that the real power brokers are not the people we elect.
Because it ultimately doesn’t matter who we elect for any office, as long as it is a candidate from the Big Two parties. The Democratic and Republican parties are simply two sides to the same evil coin. Plutocratic masters pull the purse strings and place key personnel into non-elected positions of power, to run the show from behind the facade of a Republic. It’s been this way since FDR and is only getting worse.
The only chance for change we have, before we lock and load, is to fill the elected positions of the two branches of the Federal Government with third party or independent candidates - who will not use the planted non-elected in their offices.
Currently, there is little chance of this ever happening. Too many Americans view the elections as a sporting event, where you pick your team and cheer for it - unconcerned about the real issues - slurping up the rhetoric drooling from the candidate’s mouths, as if any of them in the last century have done what they said they would. Neither party holds their stated tenants to heart and if the truth were to be known, most cheering for these parties don’t hold the party tenants to heart. Instead, they pick a team and then cheer on any idea put forth by that team, no matter if it follows the party tenant or not. As long as their team’s candidates are saying it, they go along with it, in order to support their team. Once elected, it gets even worse. Look at Bush II and ask yourself, how well did he uphold the stated tenants of the Republican party, and yet how many supported him until it was too obvious to avoid?
If this was a real Republic, with parties representing actual choice, we’d have a dozen major parties and twice that on the outskirts. We don’t have a Republic of elected officials representing our diverse nation, we have two competing sporting teams and a country full of idiots waving their pom-poms from their chosen side of the stadium.
Worse yet, most Americans concentrate on the Presidential seat and ignore the far more important congress. It is congress who rights the bills which sets policy, sets budgets, destroys our rights and until they abdicated the power to the President, starts our wars. To find the true allegiances in congress, you need only trace the money to the lobbies.
The only way to achieve real change, is to remove every Democrat and Republican from office. Period. Anything less is simply playing the game that the Plutocrats have set in place since the first quarter of the twentieth century.
On a last note, we are about to enter very dangerous times. For the next two months, those pushing the buttons behind Bush and Cheney are going to have a virtual “Get Out of Jail Free” card, as the election will no longer be a mitigating factor in their actions and they have nothing to loose by instigating any of their most outrageous plans. This is a very dangerous situation and could produce some rather horrible results. Perhaps they won’t take advantage of the situation, but ask yourself by what you’ve seen over the last two terms: can you trust in that?
You just can’t find crazy in politics, like you can in Utah.
