My stance is that it's not surprising and that we shouldn't be focusing on presidents or presidential candidates or party systems because I think it's all fast becoming irrelevant to what we're really trying to achieve here. If you are a supporter of OWS, please watch this video. The points made here directly correlate to this movement and I think they should be understood by everyone here:

Oh, so just ignore part of the problem.. Gee! That sounds like a great idea!!

[-] 1 points by ComplexMissy (291) 13 years ago

No, no. But there are other parts to focus on that would actually take care of a lot of other problems (see video). Go after the root of the issues and those problems will start to clear up with very little effort. It doesn't make sense to go after every issue, just the ones that are closest to the root cause and the person who holds presidential office is not close enough.

ALSO NEOCONS OWN OBAMA! In turn, the military industrial complex and the banking cartels.

EVIDENCE THAT NO ONE WILL PUBLISH! Neocons Write Nice Letter Asking Obama for War in Libya

Not only did the whole PNAC crowd sign off on it - but more importantly, Max Boot was on the list of signatories as well.

Know who Max Boot is? He is the official CFR minion that has CODIFIED the REVOLUTION IN MILITARY AFFAIRS. He has written several books on the subject, popularizing it amongst establishment figures.

Here is his CFR page - he is part of the 'CFR thinktank' and is listed as an 'Expert'.

Here is his Revolution in Military Affairs book

http://www.amazon.co...e/dp/1592402224

And BTW - if you still don't believe this diddly poo is HARDCORE IMPORTANT - go listen to his podcast here -

Here is his RMA podcast

Anyway, here comes the article -

Neocons Write Nice Letter Asking Obama for War in Libya

By Jim Newell, Mar 15, 2011 05:01 PM

President Obama is seriously wearing on the patience of America's most war-loving war lovers, the Washington neoconservatives. Why won't Obama be reasonable and just let them have their endless War in Libya? Muammar Qaddafi is strengthening his grip and moving east, so the window of opportunity for invading another decentralized tribal country and then spending a dozen years there while alienating everyone in the region is closing. And so the neocons have banded together to write Obama a sternly worded letter asking for their war, please, now.

The signatories includes many of the usual bold-faced neocon names who've been writing these same letters demanding wars since forever. Kristol, Kagan, Boot, Podhoretz — these folks wouldn't miss a war-letter signing if it meant skipping mother's funeral.

Here's the full text:

The Honorable Barack Obama

President of the United States

The White House

Washington, DC

March 15, 2011

Dear President Obama:

Regrettably, the international community has yet to take serious action to prevent a moral and humanitarian catastrophe in Libya and the Libyan opposition is now on the defensive. As forces loyal to Muammar Qaddafi push eastward, we are concerned that the brutal and indiscriminate tactics of government forces could lead to additional civilian casualties.

On Saturday, the Arab League endorsed Libyan opposition calls for a no fly zone. We call on you to urgently institute a no fly zone over key Libyan cities and towns in conjunction with U.S. allies. We also call on you to explore the option of targeted strikes against regime assets in an effort to prevent further bloodshed. The United States should also immediately recognize the Libyan National Transitional Council and take all necessary actions to support their efforts to unseat the Qaddafi regime.

In your inaugural address two years ago, you said this: "And so to all other peoples and governments who are watching today, from the grandest capitals to the small village where my father was born: Know that America is a friend of each nation and every man, woman and child who seeks a future of peace and dignity, and that we are ready to lead once more."

Today the United States and its allies should stand with the men, women and children of Libya who seek a future of peace and dignity. The situation in Libya in the coming days will not just impact the Libyan people. As protests continue against repressive regimes around the world, the message currently being conveyed by our inaction is that killing and repression will go unpunished and are the best option for despots seeking to postpone reform.

For the sake of our security as well as America's credibility with people who seek freedom everywhere, we ask you to act as quickly as possible to ensure that the people of Libya – and the world – know that we are willing to back up our principles with action.

Sincerely, Stephen E. Biegun

Subsequent to receiving this letter, Obama authorized a war with Libya.

No Senate, no congress, no "we the people" involved in this decision at all. And no pretense of involving "we the people".

Ask yourself why not even PRETEND to care what the citizens of this country want.

Because the constitution has been shredded, they simply don't care anymore.

It only took three days from the day the letter was sent to this:

Obama - U.N. resolution "enforced through military action" if necessary

Start the war against Injustice by starting our own banks to double our income, for many more people will come to your side when you are proactive (for “new” Business & Government solutions), instead of reactive (against “old” Business & Government solutions), which is why what we most immediately need is a comprehensive “new” strategy that implements all our various socioeconomic demands at the same time, regardless of party, and although I'm all in favor of taking down today's ineffective and inefficient Top 10% Management System of Business & Government, there's only one way to do it – by fighting bankers as bankers ourselves, and thus doubling your income from Bank Profits which are 40% of all Corporate Profits; that is, using a Focused Direct Democracy organized according to our current Occupations & Generations. Consequently, I have posted a 1-page Summary of the Strategically Weighted Policies, Organizational Operating Structures, and Tactical Investment Procedures necessary to do this at:

http://getsatisfaction.com/americanselect/topics/on_strategic_legal_policy_organizational_operational_structures_tactical_investment_procedures

Join

http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/StrategicInternationalSystems/

because we need 100,000 “support clicks” at AmericansElect.org to support a Presidential Candidate -- such as any given political opportunist you'd like to draft -- in support of the above bank-focused platform.

Most importantly, remember, as cited in the first link, that as Bank Owner-Voters in your 1 of 48 "new" Business Investment Groups (or "new" Congressional Committees) you become the "new" Congress replacing the "old" Congress according to your current Occupation & Generation, called a Focused Direct Democracy.

Therefore, any Candidate (or Leader) therein, regardless of party, is a straw man, a puppet, just like today, for it's the STRATEGY – the sequence of steps – that the people organize themselves under, in Military Internet Formation of their Individual Purchasing & Group Investment Power, that's important. In this, sequence is key to doubling your income from Bank Interest Income.

Why? Because there are Natural Social Laws – in mathematical sequence – that are just like Natural Physical Laws, such as the Law of Gravity. You must follow those Natural Social Laws or the result will be Injustice, War, etc.

The FIRST step in Natural Social Law is to CONTROL the Banks as Bank Owner-Voters. If you do not, you will inevitably be UNJUSTLY EXPLOITED by the Top 10% Management Group of Business & Government who have a Legitimate Profit Motive, just like you, to do so.

Consequently, you have no choice but to become Candidates (or Leaders) yourselves as Bank Owner-Voters according to your current Occupation & Generation.

So please JOIN the 2nd link so we can make our support clicks at AmericansElect.org when called for, at exactly the right time, by an e-mail from that group, in support of the above the bank-focused platform. If so, then you will see and feel how your goals can be accomplished within the above strategy as a “new” Candidate (or Leader) of your current Occupation & Generation.

That we need a 3rd party.

I thought you were the 1%. Your answer does not count.

It turns out I'm not.

[-] 1 points by slinkeey (244) 13 years ago

I don't feel like I am the 99%. They only support Crony Capitalism when Obama participates.
I don't support it from either side, unlike OWS.

[-] 1 points by Mooks (1985) 13 years ago

You realize that millions of the 99% are also Wall St. beneficiaries?

[-] 1 points by slinkeey (244) 13 years ago

Yes I do know that.. OWS doesn't see that.

[-] 1 points by beardy (282) 13 years ago

yeah funny how that whole 401k thing works

[-] 1 points by slinkeey (244) 13 years ago

Exactly.. OWSers don't see it that way.

[-] 1 points by Mooks (1985) 13 years ago

Or even just people playing around on Etrade or the like.

Get him to be...

above the influence.

[-] 2 points by slinkeey (244) 13 years ago

I don't see that happening.

[-] 1 points by Meeky (186) from Los Angeles, CA 13 years ago

I know.

Still...

[-] 1 points by slinkeey (244) 13 years ago

The problem is you can't get an ordinary hard working family man or woman in there that has worked and lived the normal life. That is just my opinion though. OWS only supports Obama.

[-] 1 points by Meeky (186) from Los Angeles, CA 13 years ago

Leaders are not suppose to be ordinary. >:)

[-] 1 points by slinkeey (244) 13 years ago

Well I am glad you support Obama for not being Ordinary.

So Crony Capitalism is good when Obama participates?

[-] 1 points by Meeky (186) from Los Angeles, CA 13 years ago

I can believe the two (crony capitalism and the president) can be separated.

[-] 1 points by slinkeey (244) 13 years ago

I will believe it when I see it.
