[Lucius Cornelius Sulla]

One thing that most people don't know is that the string pullers AREN'T elected officials

I think that it is fair to say that most folks on Free Republic are well aware that the Directors of the FBI and of Central Intelligence, and all of their subordinates, are appointed bureaucrats, and that these people run those organizations. Or are there some aliens operating out of Roswell, NM who are really running the CIA and FBI.

Since the current posters on this thread are 100% folks with tinfoil hats, I think I will take a pass on further comments here.

...and that's the really scary part.

I see you don't get it LCS. Put it to you this way. Those who pull the strings pull even the President's strings, not just those of lower echelons. And they aren't even government officials, never mind elected. If you want to believe in aliens, well that's up to you. But I'd say the puppeteers are of an earthly origin.

As far as government officials go, suffice to know that there are those in government who truly believe in serving the People, and there are those who don't.
