They are all war mongering bastards that are brainwashed into wanting world domination. There will be more wars and more conquests until we are faced with a China and a Russia that will not stand for it. It's bad enough that they devote 53% of the discretionary budget to the military industrial complex in other terms "The War Machine". Is this a nation that you want to live in?

You are a man of conscience. You would have never written "An Inconvenient Truth" if you weren't. This is another Inconvenient Truth. We are being bombarded with government propaganda on a scale that is that is beyond anything this nation has ever experienced.

We need a cable news show that will report the truth. Right now we need the truth about Syria, we need the truth about Climate Change; we need the truth about American military installations in other nations. We need the truth about the Patriot Act, we need the truth about the FISA wiretaps of Americans and we need the truth about why the Administration lobbies for the NDAA.

It's OK to vote for the person of your choice, as long as it's the person that we tell you to vote for. Sound confusing? Well it is. It seems that in South Carolina, you can't vote for a write-in candidate for President or Vice-President.

I want to take this opportunity to tell you how impressed I am with your political acumen. You (or the people you choose to run the campaign) seem to have the ability to run a campaign brilliantly. It is truly amazing how you can run an entire Presidential campaign based on pure bullshit and make it appear that you are promising the voters heaven itself.

The scenario of Turkey being attacked by Syria is a real possibility. Even if Syria doesn't attack Turkey, and Turkey attacks Syria, do nations ever advertise the fact that they fired the first shot? This would be ridiculous when you consider that they would lose the protection that being a member State of NATO provides.

In fact, it's OK for America to do anything. We can bomb people, assassinate people and put embargoes on nations (an act of war). We can do anything we please, anywhere and at any time. We are a nation of exceptional people.

Basically, the day has arrived where the proverbial piper is rolling into town and someone's got to pay him. The trouble is that there is no money in the bank. Obama isn't going to pay him, and neither is Congress. Nobody in Washington will part with any money unless it's for weapons.

The way I see it, Current TV was wasting precious media time by engaging in partisan politics in a corrupted, malevolent world. I mean who cares? Is Romney worse than Obama? Does any of it actually mean something? If Romney was elected President, would anything change? If Obama stays in office, would the world be a better place?

This woman (and I use the term loosely) is going to start a war. She's already laying the groundwork for World War 3 and it appears that she has Obama's blessing. On Friday in Paris, she slammed both China and Russia for blocking military intervention in Syria.

The bankers, the politician and the media have become dangerous. People have had so much taken from them in the last few decades, remaining asleep is no longer an option. The people have lost their homes, their savings and most importantly, their freedom.

It won't be long until we are bombing the crap out of Syria. We might be bombing Iran at the same time. Many Americans think this is a great idea. It doesn't matter that neither nation has attacked us, that isn't a prerequisite for warring against another nation. Maybe we'll see Ahmadinejad getting a machete up his ass like we saw with Gadhafi. That should be good for Obama's percentage points in the polls.

This time I'm going to take a different track. I'm not going to dwell on what's wrong. We all know what's wrong. No, this time I'm going to share a vision with all of you. It's a way out of this out-of-control train we are riding on.

I didn't enjoy writing this at all. It's because I'm an American citizen. All of this was done in my name and the name of every American citizen. It's about time we changed the direction of this government and you can't do it at the ballot box voting for the Democrat or Republican they decide to put in front of you.

While both corporate-candidates will be throwing numbers and percentages around until November, I believe that this time would be better spent examining all of the candidates. Not on their economic track record alone, but on their qualifications for holding office, especially the office of President. This means examining everything they have done, and everything they have failed to do, in their political careers.

Since the Early 1970's the economic model of Capitalism has favored the upper 20% of moneyed capital. The 1% has been the prime engine that dictates the direction that Capitalism seems to be moving.

So who is making money in the world's largest economy? What sector is the wealth going to? Here are some facts that The NY Times doesn't put on their front page. In 2007 according to a University of California study, the top 1% received 346% of the income in the US, while the next 19% got 50.5% and the bottom 80% received a huge 15%.

This is just another propganda event staged by the Federal government to demonstrate out "American Exceptionalism". We have to demonstrate that we as a "people" will not tolerate the abuse of people in other nations unless of course if we are doing it. In that case "they deserve it".

You see, I'm not angry with the government, I'm angry with the people of this country. I spent three years in Germany, asking the older folks that were around when the Nazi's were in power, "How the hell did you people let that happen?" I received the same answer from everyone. They told me that they never understood what was happening until it was too late.

Unless we as a people remain vigilant and fight to keep our fundamental liberties of which there are very few left, we can only look forward to an eventual police state if we don't have one already. We are completely clueless of what or where information of a personal nature ends up
