There has been a show on comedy central about the entry statements from G. W. Bush vs the ones from B. Obama. indicating that they sounded pretty much the same ;) But hey...changing the banks their people tand their behavoiur means some kind of communism :D

It is kind of scary how many Banks are controlled by the Governments in the U.K. & USA now....I guess it's an exclusive club where the Governments in control must have the word " United " in their titles. Perhaps we have learned some lessons in the fear of external control the United Arab Emirates.... :lol:

it's the other way around. the banks are controlling governments. what happens when one's debts become too large? the bank takes control of one's assets. the same happens to governments. on this level, "bank" refers to a different type of entity than the type found on the corner near your house. these "banks" are several levels above the corner bank. they loan to banks that loan to the bank on the corner. they control the flow of currency of every country...

it was Amschel Mayer Rothschild (1773-1855), who in 1838 said: "Permit me to issue and control the money of a nation, and I care not who makes its laws."

Yeah, Country's governments are nothing compared to who owns them.

Tell Iceland that their government has control of anything (or Greece, Spain, France, Ireland, Peru, Chile, etc. etc.).

I support Obama and free condoms. It's great that he reversed the ban on government stem cell research. Currently Obama has a 75% approval rating among US citizens. That doesn't mean everyone likes everything he does. It's interesting that 25% of US citizens still think President G. W. Bush was a good president. Never underestimate the stupidity of the public. I guess that is why the republicans don't want to invest in the public school system.

Hey, I thought that musicians were supposed to be liberal! At least where I come from they are (Washington DC). I guess we are dealing with some westerners and southern folk here.

Just so you know BC - I'm NOT a Republican, and hate BOOSH and everything he (supposedly) stood for.

Time will show that Obomba is a shill.

And the polls are controlled anyways, so I wouldn't give much credence and ANYTHING the media feeds us.

And I would support stem-cells if they would simply use your own cells and spinal fluids, etc. - lots of breakthroughs here. Also, a lot of disease preventative approaches are being squelched by the pharmaceuticals and insurance companies - so nothing is as it seems.

And you're right - NEVER underestimate the stupidity (or brainwashing) of the public :D

Gary,

My keyboard cable is purple at the end and my mouse is green. I would not makes ones with the opposite colors just to be different. That would be idiotic.

Ronald Reagan famously said:

"The government is not the solution. The government is the problem".

Now ask yourself why we have 40 million uninsured, a power grid that will will not sustain any more growth, dismally poor public schools, and the 16th slowest average internet speed in the world.

Because government is no longer government. It's an establishment of drug dealers, pornographers, oil magnates, war profiteers, genetic engineers, pharmaceutical companies, insurance companies (that are in it for profit, and NOT to insure anyone), lawyers, and banker-cronies.

A cure for cancer would mean the end of a multi-billion dollar pharmaceutical industry, a functioning infrastructure would mean the end of oil stranglehold (like when Ford and Firestone built freeways in California while undermining the inter-urban train system), an educated public would mean a freer thinking (self-generating) public rather than a brainwashed populace more focused on Britney's boobs than on true forward-thinking aware people that KNEW who was really running the show. In other words - for any possibility of ANY of these so-called government-backed programs to succeed, it would mean the implosion of 'the machine' - which would only lead to endless wars on the latest boogie-man of the day in order to band-aid the economy by building up the war machine.

Reagan was ONLY (at best) a wordsmith (and frontman for the elite) - but his actions (like deregulation) perpetuated globalism and expanded the banking interests as part of what has basically been a tyrannical coup that was mostly triggered around the time of the Kennedy assassination (and more recently 9/11).

So, basically, give up on your socialized government nanny system handing out any benefits or fixes, because it only means more taxes and more wars.

The only thing that is going to truly help people is for us to take things into our own hands.

we don't need INSURANCE, which is always a gangster's game(hey! you need protection! it'd be too bad if something happened...). we need to get rid of gangsters and make a world that serves PEOPLE and not some abstraction like business, government or money....

Well, at least it will be fine if somebody could aid & cure if you are ill or had an accident. The rest would be a smart world, unfotunately it needs somehow other types of humans to be realized. Nobody will change his mind unless he has to.
