  1. Just Need One Complaint From Mr. Or Mrs. Big on EU Considering Regulating Video Bloggers · · Score: 0

    Reminds me of other circumstances of how the Elite controls most of "us". Once upon a time - I taught in high school. At the weekly staff meeting - the principal (a Monty Python character) told us that he had one phone call from a "resident" (no name = Mr. Big) complaining that students were smoking cigarettes on the way home from school - that is smoking on public sidewalks.

    The principal wanted us teachers - upon finishing our legal responsibilities at the end of the school day - to then spread out throughout 1/4 of the town's streets and patrol the streets and/or follow likely student smokers home and stop them from smoking!

    No I am not kidding or exaggerating.

    The point is that the power that Mr. or Mrs. Big everywhere is overwhelming and of course flies in the face of Democracy government. The above is just one example of thousands that occur on a daily basis - everywhere.

    "men and women were invented by the "Elite"."

    So I have to explain everything to you? What better to distract people than to pit men against women - to argue with each other ....... endlessly - the longer the better. The Elite new that women would get the vote eventually - would get equal pay eventually. The Elite just wanted to stretch it out. Which was the Elite's whole point - distract ... distract.... distract - not polarize.

    While women were burning their bras - USA marines were burning children in Veitnam. That was the purpose of the MEN Versus Women distraction.

    "All that I am saying is that "left" and "right" in political terms are useful definitions to enable rational discourse."

    After you finish reading Langer's book you'll understand that the whole point of the Elite inventing Left/Right, Black/White, Men/Woman, Democrats/Republicans is all about the antithesis of "rationale discourse". It's all about causing adistraction - so that there is no rational discourse.

    If "we' weren't distracted then we would start looking around and really see what is actually going on. "We" might notice several hundred Catholic Priests screwing 6 year old boys acroos the country over a 60 year period, for example. Or Blacks being hung from trees like Xmas decorations over a sixty year period. Or "we" all might notice that "we" are inhaling radioactive isotopes escaping from Nuclear Power plants for the past 40 years.

    As well say in Canada.....eh!

    "The fundamentalist attack on gays also fits neatly into the left-right divide. They think they're better so they want to use the power of the state to keep the gays down."

    I don't know if you are getting it yet - Karl Rove had only one goal in mind in the last election - to win. Kerry had one goal in mind - to win. Bush and Kerry are both puppets of the Elite (Yale, Princeton, Harvard). Rove was simply smarter than whoever Kerry's strategist was (was supposed to be!). First of all, Rove destroyed Kerry's trumph card - of being a war hero. Kerry never recovered from that simple ploy. If there was a thing call Left - Kerry a war hero, would have come out with "all guns blazing" about holding a summit and invite Ben Laden and other Muslim radicals so that "war would end forever".

    After Rove destroyed Kerry's trumph card - he still knew the election would be close. All he had to do was to set up a situation to collect just enough votes for Bush squeak in. So first of all, Rove made sure 200,000 to 300,000 blacks couldn't vote. And then went to work using the nut case radical fundamentists who all believe in The Apocalypse (geeez!!!) by using the Gay Lesbian Card. Kerry's camp reaction - duuh!!

    You have to remember, The Elite used black slaves to build the entire USA economy - and to build all of the old family wealth - that is the basis for The Elite today. Remember a Republican President destroyed slavery not a Democratic president. Remember both so-called Left and Right, Democrats - Republicans stopped Blacks from voting for 60 years and more, kept Blacks on the back of the bus for 60 years and more, let Blacks get lynched (hung by the neck) from trees for 60 years or more and on and on.

    In the supposed notion of Left and Right - labour is supposed to be this United Left (you know unions etc.) - with all of the social concerns about The Little Guy - what bullshit! Union leaders in the USA (for example) were the biggest war mongers on this planet - gunning down anyone who got in the way. It was all about power and money. In Canada and the USA - the National Hockey League players set up a union because at that time the hockey players beat their brains out (actually) on the ice; but, were paid next to nothing - while The Elite owners became billionaires. After 20 years go by, the players discover the NHL Union leadership was actually working with the Elite team owners to keep the players poor. Gordy Howe, likely the best player in the world, - his retirement package on retirement was/is $15,000 a year. Howe likely generated a trillion dollars in renevue for Elite Team Owners and Union Leadership!

    You need to read Dr. Ellen J. Langer's book "The Power Of Mindful Learning" to help you get rid of all of the Urban Myths that have been pumped into your head in school and in the so-called Left Leaning Media (which of course doesn't exist - another Urban Myth). Thank god for the Daily Show. Well actually thank Daily for the Daily show - he was priceless last night.

  6. Re:Colbert legitimizes TDS on The Daily Show as Substantive as Broadcast News · · Score: 0

    Is Colbert legit? Of course he is legit. That is the whole point of his show. His show is structured exactly like programs that are on CNN, FOX and 1000's of other TV and radio talk/news shows. Not only is the structure exactly the same; but, Colbert is saying exactly what is being said on CNN, FOX and most of the other networks and in the same manner. But everyone knows that the show is supposed to be a comedy show - what some people don't realize is that it is a satirical review of the useless USA media.

    The difference between the Daily Show and Colbert's is - Daily simply juxtaposes (for example) - what Rice (or some other government honcho) says one day with what Bush says the next day - each contradicting the other (which is funny) - while Colbert simply portrays every mainstream TV newsreader and/or "news" analyst (which is funny because they are so ridiculous)

    Rove is the ultimate snapshot of what politics is all about in the USA and shows that politics in the USA has nothing to do with "left" or "right", "conservatives" versus "liberals", "democrats" versus "republicans", fundamentalists versus gays and lesbians. It's all about getting power/control and money (without working for it) to the Elite.

    One of The Elite's puppets, Rove sits down and says to himself (in the last election ) - who do I need to screw and how do I screw them in order for Bush (a puppet) to win and/or other puppets (senators etc.) to win?

    ,p>So Rove, an athiest and the son of a gay father, then decides that since election is going to be very close - drags out the gay/lesbian card - so the best way to win a squeaker is to screw/use the fundamentalist voters - by running a campaign using "fear factor #1" - "about gays and lesbians are going take over the country and turn your children into lebos". Rove and the other puppets couldn't give a crap about religion. Of course Rove also screwed a couple of 100,000 voters out of their right to vote (blacks) - just to make sure of the election results.,p> ,p>Of course, the other party hasn't found a cutthroat puppet "screwer" - anywhere near as vicious - or as "good" as Rove. And of course if the other party Elite takes control in the next election (maybe fundamentalists don't like Senators screwing their sons who are pages (they want to crew them themselves?) then the billions of tax dollars will go to their friends. And life goes on.,p> ,p>It's Molly Ivins stuff I was stealing - she's the one who said: their is no such thing as left or right - what you need to do is find out is - who is getting screwed and who is doing the screwing.
