In the beginning of Book I of his Histories, Herodotus, the first Greek historian, tells us the story of how King Gyges became ruler of Lydia. The function of the story in the context of Herodotus’ history is to offer the reader an insight into the nature of political knowledge as Herodotus saw it. Political knowledge is not like any other kind of knowledge available to mankind and that is because political knowledge somehow involves having a certain kind of wisdom and comprehension of human nature, both the external and obvious characteristics, as well as the more subterranean and concealed ones. Without this kind of wisdom, political insight is actually quite impossible. Now most people who suggest that there is a subterranean and concealed government behind the known or public government are considered to be conspiracy nuts or whackos. I have had it up to HERE with this propaganda. People who don’t get their news from MSNBCCBSNBCFOXNEWS are somehow liars or misinformed. People who look behind the crap sandwich that is delivered daily at our door are somehow misinformed??? I’d say at the very least that they have good TASTE. I guess I will have to pull out Einstein in order to give our conspiracy nuts a little less nuttiness in the eyes of those who will AT LEAST listen to a genius of science.

I truly believe we are being run by Munchkins. I don’t have actual proof, but....
the conspiracy theories don’t seem so much like theories now.
“They” never did seem like much of anything. But, have at it by all means.
It is known that George Soros has seized financial control of the Democrat party and over much of the think tanks and support apparatus linked to the party. It is not a conspiracy to believe that he exercises that control.
If Richard Mellon Scaife had ever exercised the smallest fraction of the power over Republicans in that George Soros currently wields within the Democrat party, the media wailing would be relentless.
Machiavelli’s warning against Fortuna was a warning against rulers and ruling in conspiratorial tones. Rahm’s crisis exploitation and siding with terorists is filled with conflict of interests and conspiracy to destroy the US.
The Munchausen syndrome by poxy is basicaly Obama’s way of operating for attention and for his cons to gain power. Thus some seek to feed their own mental disorders or addiction through sheer destructive conspiracy since the hold on them is inherently self conspiring.
Thus we see how gluttony or sexual addictions and homosexuality can lead lawyers who lose or mishandle cases to actualy go the length of twisting the laws so they never have to lose a case and be counted as bureaucrate civil servants. This was how Lenin operated, a failed lawyer, and same with Obama who followed and cloned his footsteps of narcissism apparently through Harvard.
Divide and conquer, Saul Alinsky’s adaptation of guerrilla tactics to politics up to the Clausewitzian warfare level, Sun Tzu etc...
Meanwhile “life clueless” Republicans keep saying: “it can’t happen here, you must be extremists, we have to become moderates”. Fools, ignoramuses who stopped reading and suffering through, lecturing us one’s compassion yet completely ignoring things, sheltered and seeking further of the same socialist shelter which now house the very same conspiring mindsets of sin and addictions subsidies.
Providing social padding for idiots or mistakes never meant to empower the mistaken, nor meant to sequester those needing the sports like calculated capitalist “risk-terrain” breathing room for making the very protective structures. Now, that is crazy.
When laws and burdens of proof are so deli berately twisted for failed lawyers to be subsidized, we get situations where we now have burden of proof on us to disobey a government because Obama is being given the Affirmative Action benefit of not having to show his birth certificate, until “democraticaly” or “thugocraticaly” convenient: “I won” is what he said.
I guess we lose then is what this conspiring murder risky mad man means.
