    Sham democracy is a real shame.

    The 2000 US Presidential fiasco only served to highlight the obvious - that US democracy functions about as effectively for the Republic as did the voting for party members in a Soviet.

    iCloud Supoena.

    So, the "remote control" is uncrackable? iCloud and Siri and "location awareness" with GSM, WiFi and GPS make the security of the actual device nearly an orthoganal proposition to any enforceable protection for the user or data.

    When this is so clearly a form of misdirection, I can't help but wonder the purpose of a DOJ statement like his being made public. Which perception and behaviour are they trying to influence, and by whom?

    Thought experiment:

    EVERY SINGLE US Citizen voted on a referendum TODAY - with 100% turnout and 100% majority in favour of a mandate: "Withdraw US presence from Afghanistan and Pakistan without residual bases or support for any military or police forces."

    What would be the outcome?

    The issue is not AfPak. Substitute ANY issue you like of importance - particularly those that establish Imperial presence and influence. There would be no representation in the sense of a real Republic, for the governed people's wishes to be realised.

    A story entirely referencing Romney's personal disclosure of events, without documentary references.

    Russ Kick's Disinfo.com hipped to a Kos poster - who has a nice pick-up on this:
    Romney tells the story of going around a curve and being struck at full speed by a Catholic priest named Albert Marie - who supposedly died. Albert Marie does not, and never did exist. The other driver survived. So, no one was drunk and nobody but Leola died - unless you count the Truth as a casualty.

    Bishop Jean Vilnet was the driver of the other car in Mitt Romney's fatal accident back on June 16th in 1968. Romney has been lying about what happened that Sunday for 44 years. Telling his gawd-awful lie about that crash is the single longest running project of Romneyâ(TM)s life.

    In 2014, Mgr Vilnet will have been a Catholic priest for 70 years.

    The âoedrunk priestâ named "Albert Marie" of Mitt Romney's imaginative fantasy about that 1968 accident has been spread around to his own family, to the families of the other Mormons involved, New York Times, The Guardian, Washington Post, Boston Globe, to Michael Kranish and Scott Helman for their book, "The Real Romney." That person does not exist. Never did. Photos at foolmoon dot com and elsewhere prove it. Bishop Jean Vilnet was injured in the crash and he can be seen in hospital at Bazas with his right arm bandaged.

    Bishop Vilnet, then 46 years old by American count, was not drunk, not speeding, and not out of his own lane. He was driving along and Romney hit him.

    That 1968 accident took place when Mitt Romney ignored painted roadway lines and went head-on into an on-coming left turn lane, opposite the post office at Beaulac, France. Concrete traffic separators were added later on. Good piece of engineering, that, but too late for Mrs. Leola Anderson. She died of her injuries as she was the sixth person in a five passenger car, so she had no seat belt.

    Mitt Romney claims over and over that he was blameless for that accident.

    Romney's view could well have been obstructed, particularly if a car or a truck ahead of him had slowed to make an acute right turn into Rue de la Poste. That is when being careful matters. Aggressive driving, guessing where the road goes can get someone killed. That is exactly what happened.

    It's called an "Inoculation story" - similar to "limited hangout".

    It's why everyone in the Press reported about Romney's poor dog on the car - and his accident in France - where he KILLED a passenger - is almost unknown.

    10. You can pretend to help decide which CIA-groomed figurehead will front for the banksters during the next four years.

    9. If the rigged voting machines break down, your vote might actually be counted.

    8. With a bumpersticker like "Don't blame me, I voted for Cynthia McKinney" (or your favorite 3rd party candidate) you'll feel superior to the sheeple for the next four years.

    7. Poking little holes in computer cards is good exercise for the muscles in your hands and wrists - and since you only do it every four years, you won't get repetitive motion syndrome.

    6. Voting offers an opportunity to do your civic duty: While standing in line waiting to vote, you can hand out 9/11 truth DVDs and explain to the sheeple that if voting changed anything, they'd make it illegal.

    5. If each of the two major party candidates gets exactly fifty million votes not counting yours, your vote will determine which candidate can brag about getting the most votes. Unfortunately, due to the mysteries of the electoral college system, getting the most votes has nothing to do with being elected President.

    4. You'll get to play a minor role in an outrageous, over-the-top farce, without having to get yourself hired as an extra in a Mel Brooks movie.

    3. Since your vote has no effect whatsoever on the actual governance of the nation, you can go ahead and vote without feeling guilty about the mass murders and genocide that the government is guaranteed to keep right on perpetrating, regardless of the electoral outcome.

    2. You can cast a write-in vote for a relatively honest president of some relatively honest country, like Hugo Chavez or Fidel Castro or Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, and hope that your local newspaper will mention it along with the write-in votes for Donald Duck, Ted Nugent, Ted Kaczynski, OJ Simpson, and Mishka the Talking Dog.

    1. Casting a meaningless vote in a system rigged to victimize people like you is better than masturbation: It allows you to screw yourself, without requiring you to assume an anatomically impossible position and risk serious injury.

    Ideology drove everything.

    It created the national/international tensions during Monroe and Polk. It was the bugle played to drive working people to kill each other in the civil war.

    Ideology switched the US from neutral/pro-German in 1916 to joining the War.

    The entire, fake Soviet threat was created, played and trumped on the people of the US to justify a false ideological divide to divert ordinary people from real issues of power, while an oligarchical elite cemented their ownership of all value.

    For some reason they were nicknamed memory holes.

    Howzabowt Levin's report:

    "Using their own words in documents subpoenaed by the Subcommittee, the report discloses how financial firms deliberately took advantage of their clients and investors,"

    "New documents and information detail how Goldman recommended four CDOs, Hudson, Anderson, Timberwolf, and Abacus, to its clients without fully disclosing key information about those products, Goldmanâ(TM)s own market views, or its adverse economic interests. For example, in Hudson, Goldman told investors that its interests were "aligned" with theirs when, in fact, Goldman held 100% of the short side of the CDO and had adverse interests to the investors, and described Hudsonâ(TM)s assets were "sourced from the Street," when in fact, Goldman had selected and priced the assets without any third party involvement.

    New documents also reveal that, at one point in May 2007, Goldman Sachs unsuccessfully tried to execute a "short squeeze" in the mortgage market so that Goldman could scoop up short positions at artificially depressed prices and profit as the mortgage market declined."
