The sooner the Democratic Party nominates their presidential hopeful, the sooner, we the people, three very powerful words indeed, can truly begin the countdown to the November election. For, standing in the wings, and having a free run, and no doubt enjoying the machinations of the Democrats and thanking them for all sorts of material to use against them, is Senator John McCain: war hero, politically and personally courageous, maverick, cantankerous, unpredictable.
In the past several months, McCain has made some comments, misspeaks, and has declared positions that have not been fully challenged. This is due in large part to the media circus that has surrounded the Democratic primary with such important issues as Senator Hillary Clinton showing us she is "one of us" by downing shots and beer (what, no darts or pool?), and the Senator Barack Obama - Reverend Jeremiah Wright saga, a media love-fest not seen since the Clinton years of the '90s.
The question of McCain's knowledge, or lack of, concerning who is fighting who, and where, among the Iraqis, Iranians, Taliban, al Qaeda, et al, was discomforting to say the least. It became very serious when it was repeated three times, despite the efforts of Senator Joe Lieberman to help out his buddy. But this flap passed by as quickly as it arose.
Then there was McCain's admission to not having much expertise regarding economics, despite the US confronting its most serious economic problems since the great depression of the 1930s. Again this passed by very quietly.
There were other missteps and misspeaks, one which I thought was serious in its own way: that he would or should nominate someone young as a vice-president since he was "old." Honest statement? Depends how "old" is "old." Uh oh. We're in trouble.
But the media did us a disservice two weeks ago when they largely ignored a McCain policy speech in which he proposed to re-initiate the cold war by expelling Russia and excluding China from the group of advanced industrialized nations, the G8, and proposing a League of Democracies, and the nations that were not democracies would be excluded, including Russia and China. If you polled a thousand people, it would be surprising to find if there are ten who know about this. But you can bet the other 990 know who is battling it out on American Idol.
His latest flap is a beauty. So that I don't appear to be twisting his words to benefit this posting, here are McCain's own words: "My friends, I will have an energy policy that we will be talking about, which will eliminate our dependence on oil from the Middle East that will - that will then prevent us - that will prevent us from having ever to send our young men and women into conflict again in the Middle East."
I have read this statement over and over and I can only come to one conclusion, in my own mind and interpretation: the genie is out of the bottle. Or the cat is out of the bag. Or whatever group of words you want to use. McCain is admitting, publicly, what I have known and suspected, along with millions of others, that Georgie, Rottweiler, Rummy, and company left Afghanistan unfinished, ignored Osama bin Laden, and went into Iraq for OIL. Committed the lives of our young men and women for OIL. And McCain is pledging that we won't have to go into the Middle East again for OIL. It was all about OIL. It has always been about OIL.
But "we will have to stay there for a hundred years," another McCain declaration.
The cost of a barrel of oil when the US illegally and unjustifiably invaded Iraq was $26. The cost of a regular gallon of gas averaged $1.25.
But the biggest cost of all: 4,071 lives of young US men and women, and counting, and untold tens of thousands of Iraqis, and counting.
Hurry up Democrats. There is something wrong with this movie. If McCain is the next president, it does not have a happy ending. It does not have an ending.
Peace.

In order to address economic issues we must first examine the Federal Reserve System. Creating money out of thin air, charging interest on it insures that it cannot possibly be paid back. Deliberately undermining the lower classes. The elite are in control for a reason, they have the money, and are not going to risk loosing out to the underclasses. The only way to insure their perverse dominance is to target those underneath them, eliminate their competition. Economic warfare is perhaps the most deadly means of which to accomplish this... as Thomas Jefferson described central banking...
"The [privately-owned] Central Bank is an institution of the most deadly
hostility existing against the principles and form of our Constitution...
if the American people allow private banks to control the issuance of their
currency, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and corporations
that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all their property
until their children will wake up homeless on the continent their fathers
conquered."
The ONLY presidential candidate to address the Fed is Ron Paul!! The rest are part of the game, members of the CFR and Bilderburg!! We are becoming a nation of debt slaves, and its NOT by accident, its by design.
The Federal Reserve Bank is as Federal as.. Federal Express! It is a PRIVATLY OWNED AND OPPERATED bank! The government has no control over it whatsoever! The interest for printing our money therefore.. goes to private bankers. The government borrows money from the fed for interest.. in order to pay it back we need to borrow more money.. think about that!
None of the three major candidates will bring about any real change. They have been selected by elite society, therefore it doesn’t matter whatsoever which one of them actually wins. The same agenda will continue, to dominate and subdue "evil" nations (nations that won't yield to the imperialistic west, like Iran). Ron Paul is the only candidate that would bring real change, and we can see how much attention the corpo/elitist media gave him. We need to bring the troops home now, ALL OF THEM, from Germany, Japan, Iraq, Afghanistan, EVERYWHERE! We can't afford it anyway! We borrow 5 billion from China every day to sustain this insane foreign policy. But the reasons given for it are pure lies. There is no real threat of terrorism, is crap. It’s utilized as a means of control, to justify unlimited defense spending, trashing our constitution, creating an Orwellian state of complete control. McCain is just another puppet being manipulated from above. 4,000+ young Americans have paid the ultimate price for these control freak parasites. It's time We the People take back our country from these robber barons. Please watch ENDGAME by Alex Jones, he lays it out quite well.
Part one.....
