"Last night, I had a warm conversation with president-elect Barack Obama. I congratulated him and Senator Biden on their impressive victory, [...] I told the president-elect he can count on complete cooperation from my administration as he makes the transition to the White House,"This reminded one forum member of Margeret Thatcher's exiting words to Tony Blair:
I can remember when Tony Blair was elected to the British premiership (after the convenient death of John Smith, the then leader of the Labour party) and how Margaret Thatcher gushed over his appointment. The actual words she used were; "I shall enjoy being a back-seat driver." This from a woman who was the Brit equivalent of a Neocon, speaking about a man who should have been a Socialist; i.e. on the side of the poor, the dispossessed and disenfranchised!As we are well aware,Tony Blair went on to be a willing lapdog supporting the Neocon's illegal wars, destruction of the economy and clampdown on civil liberties.
That was a massive clue right there, and NO-ONE picked up on it!

| President Kennedy receives the flag of the cuba exiles (Brigade 2506) in Miami in Dec. 29, 1962 and declares: "I promise to return this flag in a free Havana." Kennedy had been misinformed about the exact details of the planned Cuban invasion. |
Far more than Senator McCain, you [Obama] have received enormous, unprecedented contributions from corporate interests, Wall Street interests and, most interestingly, big corporate law firm attorneys. Never before has a Democratic nominee for President achieved this supremacy over his Republican counterpart. Why, apart from your unconditional vote for the $700 billion Wall Street bailout, are these large corporate interests investing so much in Senator Obama? Could it be that in your state Senate record, your U.S. Senate record and your presidential campaign record (favoring nuclear power, coal plants, offshore oil drilling, corporate subsidies including the 1872 Mining Act and avoiding any comprehensive program to crack down on the corporate crime wave and the bloated, wasteful military budget, for example) you have shown that you are their man?To look objectively at the situation we do have consider all the alternatives:
On the other hand, anybody who had opposed the Bush team over the past 8 years would have had ZERO chance of running for president, much less getting elected.
If we consider that the Dominionists can so covertly plan years ahead to take over the government for evil intentions (which they, of course, do not perceive as evil though they are certainly delusional), why do we not think that a decent person could, under the very trying circumstances we have all endured over those same 8 years, decide to try to do something about it, to behave covertly, so as to get into position to do something?
It's probably not the case, but I think we ought to leave the door open to that possibility.
And if it IS a possibility, then we would have to think that Obama would deliberately create a congressional record that would support him to the presidency.
Let's keep in mind that a smart man learns from his mistakes but a genius learns from the mistakes of others. The big mistake that John Kennedy made was to underestimate his opponents and to think that just being brave and decent and standing up for what was good for people was all it took.
"By that, I mean, 'Get me a lead singer. He's got sort of an androgynous blonde hair, very pretty. We need a guitar player, sort of hatchet-faced, wears a hat, plays very fast, very dramatic. He must be very dramatic. Get me a pound of bass player, pound of drummer ... they're making little cardboard cutouts. They hire a producer, they hire writers ... And in the current stuff now, they don't even bother getting people to play. Don't bother with that guitar player, bass player, drummer - nonsense ... The people in those bands can't write, play, or sing."
David Crosby, describing the synthetic, manufactured nature of today's rock bands
"David was obnoxious, loud, demanding, thoughtless, full of himself - of the four of them [David Crosby, Steven Stills, Graham Nash and Neil Young], the least talented."First of all, before getting back into the Laurel Canyon scene, I need to say that some of you people really need to mellow out on the visits to my website. Seriously. This isn't a crack-house, for fuck's sake, so just chill out a little bit. I mean, I've grown accustomed to the fact that you feel free to drop in unannounced at all hours of the day and night, but maybe, just maybe, you could consider doing it a bit less frequently. Is that so much to ask?

Chances are you really don't know what the Dominionists are all about, and that's just the way they like it. They like to operate under the radar screen, and become downright evasive when you ask about Dominionism. Dominionists are members of one of the most extreme forms of Fundamentalist Christianity, and their goal is to replace the American democracy with a theocratic form of government. It is estimated that 35 million Americans who call themselves 'Christians' adhere to Dominionism, some without really understanding its dangers. However, those trying to advance the Dominionist cause know how important it is to remain low key."This Republican Party of Lincoln has become a party of theocracy."
-US Representative Christopher Shays, Republican, New York Times, March 23, 2005
