This is not in any way like the 1990s all over again. I long for those years back.

Hillary Clinton is (today) just a Neocon, Warmonger, Crony Bank Bailout puppet of the same Oligarchs that manufacturered Bush and Obama.

However, the Bill Clinton of the early-1990s actually did some progressive things (namely completely reverse the fraudulent “Trickle-Down” Reaganomics Tax model at that time in 1993, and then stand-up strong to Newt Gingrich and House Republicans when they tried to block-grant Medicare).

Jeb Bush would mean, of course, more horrible War, more Torture, more high-financial corruption — but we have all these things today anyway with Obama & Hillary (Sec. of State) along with austerity cuts to our Social Security lifeline.

Neither Hillary nor foot-in-mouth Joe Biden offer anyone to anything. They are controlled puppets, and chronic liars.

The sad thing is that The U.S. News Media would ever even consider treating Jeb Bush as a remotely credible option for the people after 8 years of hell and treachery from George W. Bush.

But this is exactly what the Media, and the Oligarchs want: Bush and Clinton .. and no change and no hope.

On the “progressive” scale, Rand Paul is nowhere near as good as his father Ron Paul.

But Rand still would be better than the Warmongering, Neocon-Bankster puppet Hillary Clinton (“we will obliterate you”)….America’s version of Margaret Thatcher….yuck!.

Rand Paul at least would do things like oppose provisions of The Patriot Act, defend Bradley Manning, support Medical Marijuana , oppose Bank Bailouts, consider cuts in the Military, and the concept of not starting any new Wars, oppose the terrible NAFTA-style trade agreements, stop sending billions of dollars to foreign governments (even as we can’t even fund our own government), stop some of the Drone activities, generally support far more transparency in government, etc.

The current state of the Democrats (Obama-Clinton-Biden-Reid-Pelosi) is just so bad, and so dishonest that they are indistinguishable from the GOP-crowd on every single issue (except “abortion”), and certainly every issue where large-scale financial corruption, global violence, and robbing the middle-class is involved.

The first thing that The Democrats did once they got power in 2006 was to declare that Impeachment was off the Table (and funding the War remain on). Then once they got large majorities across the board in 2008 they declared that the Bush Tax Cuts would be on the table, Bank Bailouts on the Table, the Patriot Act on the Table, but protecting social security…off the table.

The whole Social Security thing should make everyone recognize that The Democratic Party is just a mere name only, while the real Party of FDR died along time ago. It’s just a rope-a-dope act. This crowd has supported every single thing that Cheney-Bush-Rumsfeld-Ashcroft and Hank Paulson ever did, and even expanded their corruption further, and cracked down harder on any whistleblowers who got in the way.

We even see former Vietnam truth-teller John Kerry now making the same dumb hostile threats against Iran (a Country that has not ever started a War in over 200 years, and has no WMD).

There was no change whatsoever with OBOMBA. It was a decidedly and deliberately hand-picked Establishment Regime from day one, and a complete pro-Establishment, pro-Neocon, Wall-Street-Halliburton business-as-usual charade. A Hillary Clinton administration would be no different. Same thing with foot-in-mouth Joe Biden. This Party has no ideas, except to do whatever the Oligarchs and the Warmongers or the GOP-Base tell them to do (they sure don’t care about the progressive base … now do they?).

So yeah, Rand Paul isn’t very good. But at least he might introduce some bit of sunlight here and there in a few areas, and a create different dialog, less Torture and Bombing, and less corruption.

The conventional candidates can’t offer anyone anything.

I have some questions:

1. Can a Senator like Elizabeth Warren or Bernie Sanders technically Fillibuster the budget deal legislation, in the same way that Senator Rand Paul had Fillibustered the “Drones attacking Americans” issue?

2. Obama is traitor, but so also is Nancy Pelosi who has happily agreed to enthusiastically green-light the Chained-CPI Benefit Robbery of Senior Citizens money. So is it possible for everyone here to bombard, surround, and harrass Nancy Pelosi night and day with Phone Calls, EMails, Faxes, Office Sit-Ins, etc. and demand that she defend The New Deal, and stop this madness of hurting the poor and the old?

What can be done here?

Nice speech from Rand Paul.

Where oh where is the Democratic Party equivalent to this? There are no principled visionaries or serious high-level thinkers anywhere to be found within The Democratic Party.

And it’s been that way for a long, long time … (since Robert Kennedy’s assassination) which explains why this Country took such a giant rightward shift.

Just Imagine how much impact this would have, if John Lennon were right there with her, speaking on behalf of this cause, and drawing public attention to it?

Maybe that’s in fact why he was assassinated.
They only kill the pacifists and the truth-tellers…

No news here. This is like asking the fox what happened at the chicken coop.

The United Nations has for decades happily setup the table for The United States & Britain (and really the Global Foreign Banking Powers that control them) to wage unlimited War all over the Globe whenever it feels like it. And Israel itself was a contrived creation of The United Nations, used to carve up Middle-East Oil for the Global Banksters, and their Mulitnational Oil Monopolies.

And also it is The United States itself here that has the largest controlling influence over anything that The United Nation does. So you cannot possibly have a Watchdog that is also itself the perpetrator of the Crime.

Finally, Obama’s Ambassador to the U.N. Susan Rice will assure that this is just simply meaningless theater, and any “report” will be far more likely to fraudulently clear or dismiss The United States of any wrongdoing, than it will to possibly serve even as a minor slap on the wrist (which would enforce nothing anyway).

So this is just a big gimmick.

The Drones will not stop, until you have a U.S. President that actually cares about Human Rights, and also about Human suffering, International Law, and The U.S. Constitution. Obama never did. But he what he is committed to is stealing money from us U.S. Taxpayers on totally unnecessary LIFETIME Secret Service Protection of Dick Cheney and George W. Bush (War Criminals).

That’s something he cares about.

Martin Luther King would be ashamed of him.

Obama has not, and will not bring an End to any Wars.

First of all, we still have a great number of taxpayer-funded CIA activity, and Military Defense Contractors controlling events in Iraq, including Abu Grahib.

Guantanamo Bay goes on and on unabated…

We have 6 Wars going on even right now (Libya, Syria, Yemen, Iraq, Afghanistan, Iran: sanctions + CIA), and we are also probably inside other parts of Africa, and Latin America?

Finally, in a speech in which he trys to fool people that he is somehow against “perpetual war”, in that same speech he gives an unrestrained committment and vow to continue expansion of the American Empire Policy itself, as evident by the following quote:

“We will renew those institutions that extend our capacity to ‘manage crisis’ abroad, for no one has the greater stake than its most powerful nation…..We will support ‘democracy’ — from Asia to Africa, from the Americas to the Middle East, because ‘our interests‘ [ Oil, Central Bankers Profit ] and our conscience compel us to act on behalf [ by waging Global Warfare, Human Torture, Bribery, and CIA Criminal Activity ]“

The part in brackets is my own translation of the words he used, but the point is unmistakable.

The Bankrupt Empire goes on, and the expense of its own people, and to the chaos and destruction of a large portion of the World.

Welcome to Bush’s 4th-Term

No, the cap has never been signficantly raised in the last 20 years.
