Nobel Winner Says Internet Might Have Stopped Hitler
There can be little doubt that the internet has changed everyday life for the better, but Nobel literature prize winner Jean-Marie Gustave Le Clezio has upped the ante by saying an earlier introduction of information technology could even have prevented World War II. "Who knows, if the Internet had existed at the time, perhaps Hitler's criminal plot would not have succeeded — ridicule might have prevented it from ever seeing the light of day," he said. I have to agree with him. If England had been able to send a "Stop Hitler Now!" petition to 10 friendly countries, those countries could have each sent it to 10 more friendly countries before the invasion of Poland, and one of history's greatest tragedies might have been averted.
The Internet didn't stop George W. Bush.
Didn't stop Bush.

Except, at our secret prison, we don't f!#king kill everyone. Sorry you're an idiot.
Obama has shown a mastery of media and propaganda on par with Hilter. Look back the the fainting audience members, the teleprompters at whistle stops, the very carefully controlled media imagery to make him look more important than his current office and life experience genuinely suggested appropriate. None can ignore the ubiquity of the Marxist-like "HOPE" signage. Even now he's out there with his bogus "Office of the President Elect" (there's no such animal -- the Electoral College haven't even fully voted) and there's his faux "presidential" logo and use of a government domain "Change.gov" which may or may not be legally appropriate. He got elected on image, not substance. He is potentially the most dangerous Western threat to liberty of the 21st century. Every one here should keep a very close eye on the "Change" he brings.
