"Just what powers, other than the Dimocraps, would have had an interest in blocking the show?"
The behind the scene liberal establishment, such as key/high end members of the Council of Foreign Relations, and other world organizations (closed to public scrutiny), that are compose of world bankers, industrialiest, etc., that pull the strings behind the scenes, and push for a far left agenda( socialism and one world government).
The main stream media is just one organ of these powerfull behind the scene organizations. And they have quite effectively used the democratic party since the time of FDR to gain control of much that happens in recent times. Hey make no mistake about it, there are also people in the republican end of things that have intercourse with these behind the scene power players. Please do not think that the democratic party are those in control of the far left agenda, they are simply an organ for use by the people that control much of what happens in the world. Now don't snap back and make some comment like well how do you explain the Muslim problem or lets say thousand of year old tribal problems that constantly create wars in Africa. These "peoples" are not a part of the western establishment.
The power brokers behind the scense simply use whatever resources and means they have available in a given situation to effect change whenever possible that leads toward a one world goverment. Bottom line is, the democratic party as it has been shaped over the past fifty years or so and the main stream media organizations are under the auspice of behind the scene power groups who work toward one world government. To do this they must effect change in the US and other powerfull western countries to create ultra liberal socialistic societies and lessen the power and influence of any given country both politically as well as militarily. In so doing this they can in effect control these countries, and with cunning continue to make it look like these countries are actually controlled by the elected political leaders of these lands.
Just my two cents. The subject requires much study to get a better picture.
At least with GWB we don't have the UN breathing down our backs. He has made it clear that he thinks it is a useless organization in many respects. I fully understand a lot of folks laught at the notion that there is some form of ultra liberal (in this case) group of organizations hehind the scenes that seek to control of the world. So I do not wish to debate here. Lets face it, it would require reams of information, rebutals back and forth, etc.. I am only expressing my opinion, I do not force it on others.
hang in there.
