The "powerful" have finally gotten to the point where they can deconstruct the USA. To me, there is no other explanation and also there is plenty of evidence.

It's their time.

It's true - GWB doesn't get to set his own policies on this nor on a lot of other issues that directly impact the Powers That Be. I think the 1980 election of Ronald Reagan was the catalyst - it scared the hell out the elites, and they vowed to make sure that no incompetent Carter or activist Reagan ever got elected again, and that whoever did get elected towed the mark on issues important to those elites.

So that's why who wins in 2008 really doesn't matter that much. The general direction of the country will not change. I guess the key to success in the USA in these times is: find a way to provide value to Goldman Sachs. And if you want real political change, start a proxy fight and vote out their board of directors. ;)

I was looking at your page.............. excellent.

Some people say the Illuminati, the funny Bohemian Grove characters, etc. ............ are all fiction. I don't think so.

Your Heinlein's, "One man’s 'magic' is another man’s engineering" sort of tells me that the "elite" are pretty great engineers themselves, for most of the citizens say they are nonexistent.

LOL.
