[click image]This, posted today, mirrors a marathon phone fight I had yesterday to such a spooky degree that I've got the willies! Where's my damn foil helmet? They're listening in on me! Anyway, of course, and as you can imagine if yer not dirt certain already, Greenwald expresses my points with an elegance and understated scholarship that I have never in my life had the patience and paint drying stoicism to endure reading for long, let alone producing. Some say he is the more powerful for it. Certainly I can agree that most people are much more likely to believe him and appreciate him for his work, but, actually, I don't think he can ultimately be more effective his way than I can when I ever get that good with mine. I think almost no one is moved by him, except to link him and talk to him and enjoy using his brilliant and hard work as a sort of prop, sort of like having a poster of Einstein on your wall so visitors will know you are a serious person.
Did I mention yet that I've given Obama a quintuple eff minus on his job performance?
lol 99:) I recognize myself in your description. I realize that it is very hard to make people think differently about the information they don't get.
ReplyDeleteIf some Einstein picture can make the case more plausible for them I always use it.
I know a few European diplomats here. It is amazing to see that they know nothing, absolutely nothing about things such as "who are the neo-conservatives".
The only way to get at them is some Einstein-sponsored source:)
I understand it is better to not need this sort of "credentials", but ordinary mortals do need them :)
Alas, dear Homie, you tell it true. Ordinary mortals do need them. Would that they could DO something startlingly wonderful once they'd gotten them.... I'm sure Greenwald would be as stoked as I would be.

This is a pretty good article...

however I see he is falling for the Cheney Trap.
And I do mean bipartisan. Both Dick Cheney, hoping to prove that torture “worked,” and Nancy Pelosi, fending off accusations of hypocrisy on torture, have now asked for classified C.I.A. documents to be made public. When a duo this unlikely, however inadvertently, is on the same side of an issue, the wave is rising too fast for any White House to control
I firmly belief Cheney asked for the documents knowing they wouldn't be released because the * administration wrote laws preventing their release under the States Security bullshit. Now he can claim whatever he wants about their content, knowing damn well they in fact prove torture doesn't work.
As for Pelosi, I have no idea what to believe on that issue - basically I don't believe anything!
Obama has been the chosen one for a long time, a fact known only to a few in the deep inner circle, and his relationship with Brzezinski almost certainly goes back to the start of the 1980s when he attended the Ivy League, and big-time Illuminati, Columbia University where Brzezinski was head of the Institute for Communist Affairs. Obama simply will not talk in any detail about this period. He has been covertly funded and supported ever since by the Trilateral Commission and its network of foundations connecting into the Ford Foundation, for whom Obama's mother worked.
ReplyDeleteAnd a question: Does anyone really believe that someone, a 'man of the people', would simply appear from apparently nowhere to run the slickest and best-funded presidential campaign in American history? He was chosen long ago by those who wish to enslave the very people that Obama says he wants to 'set free'.
The sources of Obama funding read like a Wall Street Who's Who - Goldman Sachs, UBS, Citigroup, Credit Suisse, Deutsche Bank, J.P. Morgan Chase, Morgan Stanley, and so on. No wonder he went back on his pledge to accept the limitations of public funding for his campaign and instead took the no-limit option of 'private' funding.
And those people are going to support a candidate who does not represent their best interests?? Oh please.

Still, I think Obama himself is deluded about this. He's just the embodiment of charm, and has probably been advised by trusted associates of his mother and their friends all along the way. He chose a very clever way to insert himself into the Illinois political machine, the choice of Rev Wright was no accident. That was the most potent single move to win local votes for his seat in the State Senate, and insured his win for US Senate. I don't think he thought of all that on his own. But I do think the schmuck is so in love with himself he has no idea how much strategy and how many strings were pulled to get him in a position to do this.
ReplyDeleteSmart enough to be prez of Harvard Law Review yet so naive he really thought he'd be the decider? OK, let's run with that. His hair is turning grey so quickly because he had no idea what he'd learn in his first briefing. When do the sheeple see this continuation of the policies of the prior administration *can't* be Obama's choice and look up to see the strings?
ReplyDeleteThe story of his elevation to Editor of Harvard Law Review is interesting. He seems to have been selected after a grueling day and night of balloting where he ended up being selected because he got along with the conservative contingent. That was the hook. He's charming to the nth degree. Always has been. I'm not saying he's not smart enough to know everything going on. I'm saying he's so self-involved that even knowing, he doesn't think it, thinks it's his own merits, own good judgment, all the way down the line.
ReplyDeleteHe might be rethinking now.
His hair is really gray one day and not gray at all the next. I can't tell if he puts the gray in to look more presidential or takes it out to look more youthful. He gets a haircut at least every other week, so who could tell?
He's a bullshit artist... a classy one.
Obama said he'd release the torture photos, then said he wouldn't. I don't think he simply changed his mind after thinking about it. Powers above him vetoed it.
ReplyDeleteThe coming and going of the gray is pretty weird. Maybe he's a shape-shifter.
Dude, I'm not arguing that he's being told what to do. He could disobey and get the JFK treatment... and I think he should.
