11 Ways You Know You Live In A Country Run By Idiots

It seems I live in a country run by idiots.
Which makes me an idiot for living here. Wait! Whaaaa?????
FUCKING HILARIOUS!!

Americans elected and re-elected Choomboy. So who are really the idiots running (or ruinning?) this country.
Of the idiots, by the idiots, for the idiots.
Were these 11 points rhetorical... Everyone already knows this country is run by complete blithering idiots.... its a cocophony of advocacy for mediocrity.
I think the author could have picked so many better comparisons to prove his point. Like on number 6 it seems he actually thinks muslims are treated favorably compared to others, what kind of neo-con FOX news tard thinks this is the case. And what kind of identification is he suggesting would suit a voter (who is rather irrelevant as he has no actual power), an iris scan, DNA sample or a chip in the arm installed at birth?
I wish they were just harmless idiots...

All kidding aside, the world is run by very smart 'people' - evil - but smart. They recruit not losers, but rather, bright talented people.

It is the masses who are the idiots (brainwashed) to not see the illusion that 'they' have created for us.

If by the ISIS threat in the Middle East you ever thought it was not going to be a transparent cover so that Obama could attack Syria then you are an idiot for not realizing that your country is run by very scheming non-idiots who know you are an idiot for never seeing why ISIS only appeared when early false-flag chemical attacks failed to gain traction for an attack on Syria a year earlier...

I was chatting with my very nice but somewhat ....eh.... eh...er..... .gov employed neighbor. Yeah. That's being polite. Anyhow, I commented the country is full of idiots, run by idiots, idiots in school teaching idiot kids. Just my usual rant. She asked me " where is your proof of that?" I was dumbfounded. I responded, " the country elected Obama , twice " what more proof do you need? At which point she looked at me like I had a third eye. Obviously, I struck a nerve, and know who she voted for.
Oh, the Humanity!
Would you rather have President McCain? President Romney?
McCain would have been a better choice than Romney and in spite of the criticisms he managed to stay alive for the full 8 years.
If McCrazy was a president, USA will be involved in a war inside Iran right now and/or possibly a nuclrear stand off with Russia right now. Is that what you want?

You need a license to have a dog, drive a moped, catch a fish, shoot a squirell, but not to raise a child?
WTF?
...the things one reads reads here sometimes. Unbelievable.
You'll have to make a note to yourself that you cannot comment on people's children and their unalienable right to have as many of them as they damn well want. They get veeeerrrrryyyyyyy sensitive about it. You see, genesis said go forth and multiply but unfortunately forget to mention when to put on the brakes.
I believe the EBT card has a limit at one dozen kids - if she wants more she needs to find a new baby-maker...
You should not need a license for ANY of those things.
That was what I was trying to say. It didn't come out right.
Sorry if I offended those playing the system for free shit, based on the spawn you spew.
If you read the koran and the bible and compare you will find that the bible (foremostly the old testament) is more hostile towards other religions. Unfortunately both text can be rather self contradictory so when you treat muslims like trash for a couple of centuries some of them traces down the couple of verses instructing you to be hostile towards infidels and then they become just that.
The problem is that the author of this text seems more committed to making a treat out of muslims and other people which in general are rather harmless instead of focusing on the real trash bags such as those running FED. For example, why doesn't he cherry pick some ridiculously harsh sentences handed out to petty criminals and compare them to banker scum that have stolen billions or trillions and still goes free? Probably because the author is an idiot himself who fails to realize why things have gone wrong in the first place.
You're a moron.
Religion is a disease to humanity.
Sounds like you would fit right in with the Zyklon B crowd
Zyklon B was invented and used by people who had the words "God With Us" engraved on their belts.
Zyklon B was a pesticide designed and used to de-louse the internees' clothes, bedding, and personal effects. No human-- Jew, homo, gypsy, or commie was ever placed in a gas chamber. These are the facts, and even the curator of the Auschwitz Shoahoax Museum was forced to admit it.
The Germans attempted to save the camp internees from typhoid fever, and somehow the Zionist propaganda machine has turned it into the "industrializedmurderofsixmillionjews".
Yes, they invented Zyklon B. Yes they used it on prisoners' effects. Yes they had "Gott mit uns" on their belt buckles. The rest is Bullshit Blood Libel. It's time to put this myth to rest.
Holocaust denial should be made a punishable criminal offense in any jurisdiction.
Right-wing extremists such as yourself only provoke contempt and defiance in me.
Thank God for ZH members like Kobe.
True, some want to turn the Holocaust religion into a forced religion. Like I said, Judeo Fascism.
Per census records, there were 3.5 million Jews in Europe at the beginning of WW2. And, they were leaving fast, migrating to the US at the rate of about 3000 a day, and to Israel at the rate of about 300 a day.
So, where did WW2 Germany get 6 million Jews - import them ?!
There's no business like Shoah business.
Yes, and that God was the "State" manifested in the body of Adolf Hitler. Just because they appropriated the wording doesn't mean they believed in the one true God
Religion keeps people ignorant and submissive.
Greed keeps people silent.
And the environment and education makes an idiot.
This.
Fear, not greed, keeps people silent
Greed = Money!
Take the money out of the equation, say, you won the lottery, you got divorced, you fear nothing. You tell for what it is.
Retaliation keeps people in fear.
So is government.
Four hundred million killed by government in the 20th century.
Anusocracy,
Not government! Not wars! Not religion!
Poverty.
Poverty.
Of The Mind!!!
DaddyO
Poverty is too much control in the hands of others and a lack of motivation.
Those two things form a feedback loop.
Anus;
You wrote: "Poverty is lack of motivation... form a feedback loop."
Well...., just give it some time:
In 1980, the top 1 percent controlled about 8 percent of U.S. national income. The bottom 50 percent shared about 18 percent. Today the top 1 percent share about 20 percent; the bottom 50 percent, just 12 percent.

FTFY
That is how they exploit you assholes to do what they want. If you people in intelligent design and gods creating your asses then you'll understand the true gift god gave you is the ability of critical thinking and the power it gives you to overcome predisposition by the ability to recognize predisposition in the first place....
Einstein understood this hence his simple quote insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.
The only thing is the people exploiting this mental defect to own you are not insane.
You're an idiot, too. A moron, and an idiot. A raving one, apparently.
Who are you trying to kid?
Only one religion has the moral imperative to dominate the world. Old Testament war verses are contextually and historically constrained. 164 Qur'an verses of jihad including neck smiting and terror casting on infidels, apostates and hypocrites, were written by the 8th and 9th century authors of Islam. No school of Islamic jurisprudence considers the Qur'an to be constrained in any way. The Qur'an is a perfect book from their perfect 7th century warlord.
You call stoning children to death for disobeying their parents, restrained. Oh no, no, no. Can you people ever, for just once in your life, be objective and come out and say "well yeh, the bible does contain a lot of evil". You can't though because your whole edifice of delusion comes tumbling down the moment you concede the bible is flawed.
Oh, and while we're on the subject of stupidity and bibles, if the animals lined up by twos on Noah's ark, did he have one gigantic green house for the tens of thousands of species of plants. Oh no, our resident bible bashers never thought of that and never do think beyond the black ink that forms the words and verses therein.
"You call stoning children to death for disobeying their parents, restrained."
Have you ever had to deal with some of the feral utes running the inner cities lately?
I believe to what he is referring is that Jesus in the New Testament fulfilled and closed the Old Testament, leaving it as a historical account but not a guide.The law was kept perfectly by Christ. And all its penalties against God’s sinful people were poured out on Christ. Therefore, the law is now manifestly not the path to righteousness, Christ is. The ultimate goal of the law is that one would look to Christ, not law-keeping, for righteousness.
This is the basic tenet of Christianity. There is no similar divergence in the Quran which has remained the same since the 7th century.
Miffed;-)
"And all its penalties against God’s sinful people were poured out on Christ."
That's some bad karma.
Interesting intertwining of religions ( though Buddhism is not really a religion). Being a Christian who has an attraction to astrology and Buddhism, what you say strangely makes sense.;-)
Miffed;-)
Seen from this vantage, it makes Christs' purpose all the more staggering.
Astrology eh? Here is a video of a historical astronomical event.

Tx, I enjoy it when those who bend their rigidities of faith to explore answers in realms unthought. This can result in fascinating outcomes that often shocks the explorer. Opening a fist allows God a door in to your life.
Be still and know that I AM.
Astrology can show the tendencies, inclinations and personality of a person however it is not definitive. It is up to the individual to manifest his life as he chooses.
Miffed;-)
Although skeptical, astrological character portrayals often leave me uncomfortable with their accuracy.
;-)
Comfort is dangerous because it lulls us into tranquility.
Miffed;-)
Nice!
Whats your sign, baby? :)
Cute. I am a Pisces. Moon in Aries. Many planets in the 12 house making me a bit mysterious to myself and others. Most who see my chart either run or want to get to know me curious to see how I manifest it.
So what's yours? ;-)
Miffed;-)
See? Already your knowledge dwarfs mine and I appeal to it.
I am a Scorpio, born at midnight at the end of the cycle.
A former acquaintance of mine said that put me in the category of a "golden eagle".
Since this dialog began I did a brief search but I found nothing that recalled to me the context of our discussion back(30yrs! ) then.
Any insight? (while I google you : ) )
Wow... just wow. I am speechless. I have ruminated over a proper response to you but what I have come up with is way beyond the scope and appropriateness of an on-line forum. This would leave me too exposed and, possibly, you as well. I would be open to an off line discussion if you are amiable to that.
Miffed;-)
I'd be honored.
I'll be back this evening EST and look for you then.
Here is a sample of what I found:
"Lunar Ariens have an unmistakable independent streak. They put themselves right out there in the world, and make an impression in whatever they do."
That sounds about right. Decidedly so.
"Moon in Aries men and women are prone to have plenty of crushes and other short-lived yet intense desires. "Needs" and "wants" are indistinguishable to Lunar Ariens at any given time. In their minds, what they want is so powerful that it becomes an absolute need. "
Well now, I would have to get to know you better before agreeing to that, maybe after that pastie. ; )
"There's an aura of childlike innocence around Lunar Ariens, even when they're getting their way again, that can be charming indeed!"
Something tells me this is an accurate portrayal!
I think it is more than a coincidence that we are having this discussion, I know another vibrant, Pisces female who works in microbiology as well that I am attracted to. Whenever we are out with our spouses we two are often mistaken as the married couple by those who don't know us.
Awkward at times but exhilarating nonetheless.
This is fun!
Well, you are getting somewhere Scorpio! You are starting to uncover the mystery.
There is a very special relationship between Pisces and Scorpio. Both are Water signs. They have a unique perception and see things other signs don't. Pisces is generally more giving and open. Scorpio more reserved, intense and very misunderstood ( they are represented by the Golden Eagle as well as the Scorpion) They are the most sexual of all signs and coupled with their passionate intensity.....WOW. My Scorpio male friends locally are all married and when my Sagittarius husband and I go out with them the chemistry is very palpable ( my husband rolls his eyes on the way home afterward, you two can raise the room temp) Being unchaperoned around one would not be wise.
The dark side of Pisces is too much dreamy contemplation and clinging. My moon in Aries tempers that with the fiery independance that is so typical of me. I am constantly being pulled in two directions. Intense caring and helping people and then doing battle with the forces of evil. The impulsive and stubborn nature of Aries pushes me to explore new things and ideas (sometimes I can't sleep because I can't quiet my mind and relax). The Pisces side pulls me inward and I curl up in a ball deep in thought. My poor husband must be very patient sometimes. Hmmm...ok I see this is where you are today...I think I need to change my plans. ;-)
Pisces and Sag is very mismatched. Sag likes freedom over everything and a clingy Pisces usually sends them running. We are very unique. I am so grateful I have a mate that can deal with my craziness and quirks.
It would be an honor to get to know you Scorpio. I could possibly explain some deep part that seems a bit mystifying to you. A chance at a friendship with a Scorpio is something I would find hard to pass up.
Miffed;-)
I'm about to turn in for the evening, I was hoping to catch you online but my typing skills are plodding at best. Even though this is an old thread you may want to edit out your email address as I have it.
I look forward to this.
I as well. ;-)
I work today and won't be home until late. My Monday starts at 4:15 Am and I won't be home until 7PM PST. I want to be sure I have sufficient time to respond to you and my typing speed is not legendary as well. Besides, I do have to spend some time solidifying my kaleidoscope brain into cohesive thought to communicate adequately. I think some here think Miffed is an old wise sage when, in reality, her mind is a Jackson Pollock painting.
I look forward to meeting you.
Miffed;-)
Later then.
: )
Muslims, Jews and Christians today all share and believe the first 5 Bible books all the same. There's a specific story in the Bible, in the first 5 Books, showing the clear separation of the Muslims vs Christians and Jews.
Not too sure how many people get really what's going on. The plan has been there since the first days,
Islam is a 6th century creation and is based on the pagan worship of the moon. http://www.investigateislam.com/moonGod.htm
Islam is the root of all evil.

It's Bible THUMPERS. You are a bible BASHER, idiot.
Moral imperative to dominate the world? Let me quote the old testament (NIV).
10At that time Joshua turned back and captured Hazor and put its king to the sword. (Hazor had been the head of all these kingdoms.) 11Everyone in it they put to the sword. They totally destroyeda them, not sparing anyone that breathed, and he burned Hazor itself.
12Joshua took all these royal cities and their kings and put them to the sword. He totally destroyed them, as Moses the servant of the Lord had commanded. 13Yet Israel did not burn any of the cities built on their mounds—except Hazor, which Joshua burned. 14The Israelites carried off for themselves all the plunder and livestock of these cities, but all the people they put to the sword until they completely destroyed them, not sparing anyone that breathed. 15As the Lord commanded his servant Moses, so Moses commanded Joshua, and Joshua did it; he left nothing undone of all that theLord commanded Moses.
Joshua 11 vers 10-15
Not to mention the great Jehu who was so smart because he setup a massive gathering for the servants of baal and then slaughtered everyone that were present. The list of such "civilized" behavior described (and hailed) by the bible goes on and on, and you says this religion has the moral imperative to dominate the world? Fucking sick tards.
Wow, harsh dude. Some of these folks need to chill out, smaller a doobie or catch a good skin flick or somethin'. There's a lot of cool shit out there if you don't mind just laying low and going with the party flow...
Why don't you tell them why Jehu did what he did and who (or better yet) what kind of Baal worshipping evil witch Jezebel was, to add some, ummm, color. And Elijah correctly prophesied she'd be eaten by dogs, so theres that.
Maybe the dogs just thought she looked like a can of Alpo.
Which is completely natural, by Baals standards ;-)
I prefer Ray Bradbury, so who's the author of this novel?
To keep it secular, Britannica ;-)

Time for you to read some Mooslim history.
Yet I think you just proved a prior posters point. We KNOW that this government would rather put sticks in its eyeballs that ever open itself up to accusations or profiling, much less racism. A white cop can shoot a black man and it is obvious racism but if a cop shoots a white man it is proof that the real danger in America is angry white men. Wake the fuck up and get off your libertard podium. And maybe you haven't noticed we are being overrun by illegals and obviously every fucking politician is salivating to lick their asses, which MUST imply that these fuckers in some way influence election outcomes. Yes things are fucked but to simply ignore the most egregious simply because statistically they are not the single greatest threat is an insult to anyone who does believe in the rule of law...even if our president does not. This is a death by a thousand cuts and until we recognize each and EVERY problem is contributing to the ends at hand, we are truly fucked.
No, no, no. The strategy is called divide and conquer and you just went right on the hook and swallowed the bait. You turn all your rage towards these guys so some greedy banker fuckers and other oligarchs can rob you and enslave you without meeting any meaningful resistance. Forget these latinos and turn your eyes toward the headquarters of your evil corporate masters.
Im sure he is well aware of the Banksters. Why you give a free pass on millions of illegals is another story.
When we enforce our laws we are not divided, we are not attacking Hispanics or blacks or anyone else. We are enforcing the laws that are supposed to apply to everyone. This is the basis of our society and its strength, the rule of law, not of men. The illegal aliens, the H1B visa people, the government employes, the welfare mooches, the bankers are all playing on the edges of the laws and our government is the one turning away. Our government is willing to ignore law to advance their agenda. No, I'm not talking of division at all. I'm talking about laws that have been on the books forever that are willfully ignored or negated by bought and paid for politicians. The people taking advantage of this are not our friends or allies, but they are not our enemies either. They are a useful tool of those who would see us on our knees. If someone throws a beehive in my front door, I will kill the bees, but I know they are not my enemy. Illegals are not my enemy but I will not deny my responsibility to resist them. Don't continue to turn the other cheek simply because you are told it is the progressive thing to do.
Dang 'Wood, the beehive was good. I'm stealing that one!
Odd choice that- a beehive in your front door? Why'd you kill the bees knowing they had nothing to do with it? Is this a euphemism in your neck o' the woods? What are the chances that somebody's gonna actually do that?
When I was a kid, I got my peepee stung by a honey bee whilst pissin' in Grandma's flower bed. I wasn't real happy about that at the time, but I now realize that it was totally my own fault.
My analogy goes something like this; In the unlikely event that someone actually does "throw a beehive in your front door", you run like hell because bees are not sentient beings (as you're supposed to be), and you know they'll eventually settle down to a more manageable state. Forget killing the bees, run out the back door and run around front to see if you can identify the asshole(s) who are actually instigating the conflict, and work from there. They are cowards and pussies to use beasts (actually insects) against you in the first place. They won't confront you directly, they're afraid of you.
Substitute bees with illegals and assholes with dual-citizenship banksters if you don't get what I'm trying to convey.
Oh, and if we manage to kill off all the bees, we've assured our own demise as well, but that's another issue. The banksters (also known as war-mongers) however, can be dispensed with, with no ill effects.
Maybe you are willing to abandon your home to killer bees from central america and Africa, but not me. My point is that I will defend my home from who or what ever, but I'm not so foolish to not understand the source of the cause of such an invasion. I'm not going a mission to kill ALL bees, just those in my house, but I will hunt down the fucker who made the toss.
So, you really were talking about bees, after all? My bad. Ever since I read your comment I've had this mental image of a frustrated and confused middle-aged man in his foyer with a flyswatter and a couple thousand pissed off bees. You can't win that battle, dude.
BTW, where did I imply that I would abandon my home? (assuming you're talking about your actual abode, and not the jurisdiction it exists in)
A lot of people are pissed and frustrated because they perceive that illegals are taking their jobs. But if someone who doesn't speak the language and doesn't know the culture can just walk across the border and take your job for half the pay... do you know what that means?
It means you are grossly overpaid! Many of our own progeny don't speak the language or know the culture. Thing is, they've got a piss-poor attitude as well. Which one would you hire?
Illegal Africans? That's kind of a stretch unless they're hella swimmers or unless we're back on the subject of actual insects. If you're referring to Obama, he's about as African as Karl Marx. Nobody seems to know where he was born, but in real life, he ain't no Kenyan.
Think of it this way; You're a bee, too. You may belong to a more advanced colony, but you're still a fuckin' bee. If your betters decide to attack you using a colony of your lessers, who should you fight?
Ace, to contend that if an immigrant is willing to work for less than you, that you are overpaid, is to accept the concept of globalization, unfettered and without any borders. Our constitution promises us protection from foreign invaders, so do you contend that just means that they can't come and shoot you, or just kick you out of your home, or simply deprive you of a means of making a living so as to make your home no longer affordable to live in? You see, property rights mean more than just holding a title to something, it means you have the right to keep it, to defend it. If you are suggesting to me that I have no right to protect my home or my job from people who are not citizens, that have no legal right to even be in my country, then you are suggesting I have no rights at all. I reject that.
Yes, we live in a global world now and may not be able to forestall the inevitable wage equalization, but to simply throw the doors open...say, come take what you will, is suicide. Our government's primary role is to protect AMERICANS from foreign or domestic threats. The loss of my job, my way of life, my ability to keep what I have worked for, is in direct contradiction to that. We should have policies that tax imports, not domestic production. We should have limits to immigration that soften and graduate the effects of globalization rather than simply throwing us to the winds of fate. There are a lot of evils afforded us by our bloated central government but the one thing they are supposed to do, they have deliberately turned their back on.
So sure, we are overpaid. Lets just let the market work, not just the financial market but the market place of civilization. If illegals want to come here and work...let them. If we want to import Chinese crap that undercuts our jobs further...let them. Just one thing...no more fucking welfare, unemployment, section eight, aid for dependent children, subsidized healthcare, or any other government provided subsidy or payment. NONE. Then lets watch the fucking market work. Lets see who is in the streets, who is willing to work or fight for what. If you want a free market, if you want globalization...lets get it on!
To address your final paragraph alone, Oldwood, I would say that you've come a long way since our last exchange which was what, yesterday?
Just because our government works tirelessly to undermine us, does not mean that we should reject all comers, even if they were "thrown" here.
The problem is that O and his idiot minion Holder have opened wide the gates to all and sundry. They don't do this of their own volition, though. They are owned- either by blackmail or bribe, they are owned.
It doesn't matter if I agree or not with their personal beliefs, or if they themselves agree with the actions they take. They are owned. It's so obvious it hurts.
Personally, I would never do anything to intentionally hurt you or yours. Oligarchs don't think that way. They promote ambitious shitheads like Obama to their highest level of incompetence, and only then do they reveal the higher agenda.
You know Bill Hicks?

Bet you are not a harmless idiot...
You are an idiot. Point number 4 proves this. The Obummer regime sold the 20 fighter jets and other military equipment to the muslim brotherhood regime of Morsi. Now that moderates and secularists have tossed out the fanatics the Obummer regime is delaying the shipment of the weapons.
Most Westerners are not following what is going on in Egypt but there is trouble with the fanatics (including ISIS cells beheading civilians) and hardly a week goes by without a few dozen killed. Northern Sinai is now a no go zone and the police and army are losing about 10 dead a week there. The Egyptians have complained that the US regime is purposly delaying shipments needed to confront ISIS including parts for the Apache helecoptors.
People make a big deal about ISIS beheading and posting online the death of Foley, but in the past few weeks there have been multiple videos posted of Egyptians being beheaded and the US regime does nothing to aid the Egyptians.
Why did Obummer favour the fanatics but hinders the moderates?
Uh, because his agenda is to promote chaos throughout the world in hopes that the destabilization will give cause, along with financial collapse to further centralize power???
^^^^^There's one now!
Of the idiots, by the idiots, for the oligarchs.
FIFY.
1,2,3,6 & 8 is why zerohedge will always be preaching to the choir and never converting the ill-informed. How are the oodles of socialist fucktards and liberal tosspots supposed to take your financial views seriously when they are littered with old limpdick white guy logic? Why the fuck do you flops even bother with moralism on zerohedge anyway?
Go start a blog and tell yourself how great the world used to be gramps
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! haha haha ha oh sorry (catches breath) I thought for a second you were suggesting votes actually matter...
+1. Choomboy is the USD / CIA poster boy for now. Voting is a complete sham.
Remember the Church Committee Hearings and all the committees that came after that?
Well the CIA has been running this country and the US President probably by the 1950s. It created huge operations and spy networks all over Europe from even before the National Security Act of 1947. Key components are Banking, Military Support (especially in Europe at the time), access to aircraft and use of aircraft & satellites, and strong relationships to weapons makers and defense contractors as well as engineering firms of all sorts including energy experts and nuclear specialists.
The US Presidents all had to be informed of the state of technology and the importance of world events in order to expertise power and direct the state department properly. Later of course CIA people were brought into the State Department and Ambassadorships.
So it is really our military that runs the president, but not the military in general only the inner most circle.

Hopefully everyone here already knew we have a Military Republic not a Democracy.
I don't want a democracy if it means that 51% of zombies can take my shit. Its bad enough to have to fight for everything we have without having to fight the very government we are indentured to as well.
Actually I am quite positive we are 100% completely fucked and the government rams it up our asses every single fucking day regardless of facial expression. Its a nice gesture, but remember some openly socialist company from spain, which DONATED TO OBAMAS CAMPAIGN bought the majority of electronic ballots. For the more conspiratorial, the deep state/bankers/oligarchs/nwo/illuminati etc etc install their guy anyway. This is obvious given the fact that every single president has moved this country in the same direction regardless of which fake party they belong to. As for voting with assets, I would agree with you except for the fact that american subjects have no assets. Case in point, you own a car? Take the tag off, see who gets it. Property? Skip some taxes, see who ends up with it. Income? Again skip taxes and the IRS will take every fucking thing you own. Its theirs, we pay rent (taxes) on everything we have that belongs to them. As long as we are dependant on their fiat we are in the matrix, and the game is played by their rules. Only armed revolt can change anything at this point, but they're ready to crush that to. If you must know, I wrote in Ron paul in 2012. And it was a romantic gesture. I admire your ideals, but realistically, we let them win a long time ago and our options no longer include voting.
Voted you up about 18:38... I don't know anything to add.
You are right.
The military is merely a tool, and is run by a bunch of tools (brass knob jockeys).
National policy is effectively controlled by the collective efforts of the senior intelligence service (not even the DCI, but Brennan might be an exception given his specific previous roles in the club), and policy is dictated to .gov implementers by the most senior wonks at the sanctioned think tanks.
The system is self aware, self healing and evolves over time, it is a creation of men, but answers to no man.
John Foster Dulles' boys put Jay Wright Forrester's boys to shame (after taking their work to whole new level).
The system is self aware, self healing and evolves over time.
You ain't kidding about the self aware part. I don't think the owners understand just how self aware system has become and that is going to be their downfall if the system sees them as a threat to it's long term existance.
How do think the system keeps the human batteries that sustains it from being aware of it and the owners.

Or put another way, whether Anatoliy Golitsyn was a defector or a plant is actually irrelevant in the larger scheme of things (the primary why would be a digression). His primary indictment of his former employer would be laughable if the same perspectives on concurrent reality (as apposed to simple veridical paradox) didn't also exist for those on the other side of the hill, where the grass and the fiat are always greener.
But that concurrent reality is about as appetizing as green eggs and ham to most, as they have been well conditioned to a diet of yellow eggs and blue pills.
How's that for walking a knife edge between esotericism and off my rocker while off the reservation...

You're wrong. and John Foster Dulles' "boys" murdered Kennedy. After JFK fired him from head of the CIA. The shadow military is not a tool; it is the machine.
You should really add another 800 points to the SAT score before responding to comments like that, because in this case -- you most certainly need both math and English to understand what is being said.
Hey Teeth, in the spring of 1980 a few weeks before he was killed, Green Beret colonel Ed Cutulo made an affidavit describing amongst other things - a huge domestic surveillance program, a large part of which he himself supervised. The targets included thousands of local police departments, churches especially the Catholic and LDS, judiciary, prosecutors offices, many local and national politicians.
This information was corroborated, in the main, by a lengthy, colorful, highly informative court deposition given years later by the daughter of Colonel Al Corone.
Any true student of recent history would be well advised to read through these documents.
Interesting trail here. I don't know about this stuff.
I haven't really pulled military conspiracy stuff for a decade it seems like. Looks like fun reading and seems to be very well documented.
Of course; ever since JFK, the CIA/MIC have been the US Government. It was a coup. The Bankers are just a distraction.
If you think voters matter, not the vote counters, you are an idiot...
If you think voting doesn't count then you believe we are completely fucked and might as well bend over and take it up the ass with a smile. I ain't smiling.
Voting at the ballot box is our responsibility. Voting with our assets is our right. We must use both in tandem.
The old line always gets trotted out by the wrinklies: "People died in world wars to enable you the right to vote".
Bullshit.
You get to the ballot box once every four years, and can select the red or blue pill(ock). Neither gives a fuck about the constituents who elected him/her. Same old self-serving piss in different colored bottles. Voting is no longer a responsibility - it is only a means of empowering one of a choice of two career polititians who from then on in devote their life to feathering their own nest.
That is democracy today.
ANd if you do not vote, are our leaders still not empowered to do as they wish? What is Obama's approval rating right now? Do you think he gives a fuck when he has his pen and phone in his golf gloved hand? Half of Americans don't vote now and you are suggesting that it will be better if none of us vote? Compared to what? I hear a lot of fultility about voting and do understand but bitching and moaning aren't fixing anything. If you got a good idea speak up. I believe in using everything we have...all of it including voting for the least stinking motherfucker of them all. Yes. I'm all for doomer prepping but just because the boat has a hole in the hull doesn't mean I'm going to quit bailing. That water looks cold, dark and deep to me.
Oldwood, I tried to give you a Green Arrow, but for some reason it would not let me. I am with most of the rest of the cynical crowd here at ZH, and I don't think voting will change anything at this point. But I appreciate your passion, and your willingness to try to see through this bullshit to some sort of solution. I may not have much use for voting in national elections, and I think .gov is my enemy, but it doesnt mean I will stop looking for ways to resist and survive the dark days ahead. As you say, sitting around just bitching will not solve or help one bit.
Good on you OW. I am glad to see you hanging tough and being willing to stand up to the mob mentality that shows itself here at ZH on occassion.
My solution is more local. And my hope that someday, it may grow enough strength to try to reorganize this "union" of formally sovereign states (Secession or something similar).
Take care of yourself and your family. Then take care of your local community. And when you are solid close to home, spread the strength from there. That is the only chance some of us may have to pass something on to the next generations except debt and servitude. Good luck to all!
"If voting changed anything, they'd make it illegal." — Emma Goldman
And let's be clear, the one vote that matters — the one the Scots will be using on September 18 — is illegal, here in a country that was founded on the exact opposite principle.
It won't stop one or another state (my guess being Texas or Alaska) from finally calling bullshit on our vaunted experiment in federative government and going its own way, however.
It's just a matter of time and probably probably before the end of this decade.
Its easy to assume that voting does nothing because we cannot see the results of another option, like smokers who have lung cancer convinced that they probably would have had it whether they smoked or not. We rationalize. BUT NO ONE KNOWS, as they cannot know what might have happened if the alternative had occurred. We are free to suggest or extrapolate our views, but that is all we can do. Many of us hate the fed and what our government has done to create such fragility and dependency, but it may be possible that if they had not, we would still be a backwater country scratching our lives from the dirt. WE DON"T KNOW. I'm not suggesting that anyone here is wrong in their opinions as much as to say you cannot know for sure that voting has not made a difference. WE KNOW IT COULD BE WORSE. Given that our option, our only option is to not vote, and watch what our country turn into absolute dictatorship and tyranny, why should we abandon what little hope we have for no hope at all? What is you game plan? Precipitate what you think will be our ultimate collapse? We are all going to die as well, so should we hurry that along too?
Democracy, as both the ancient Greeks and our founders knew, is a grave danger, as majority rule is but mob rule without the protection of individual rights, these being the foundation of a true republic. Individual rights are sacrosant, in other words — to life, liberty, and property — and can't be vitiated by a majority. That this has happened — as Franklin said, "When the people find they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic" — is the sad story of our now hopelessly failed experiment in federative goverment. For it is long past being either a republic or a federation and has instead descended into oligarchical rule over a public contented with bread and circuses.
There will be an end to this and a new beginning, the question being how long the oligarchs are able to hold it off — i.e., "extend and pretend" — never mind that it will be all the worse for doing so.
I fear more and more that a compliant, needful, and increasingly helpless public will allow them to hold it off until only the worst can come of it.
"Many of us hate the fed and what our government has done to create such fragility and dependency, but it may be possible that if they had not, we would still be a backwater country scratching our lives from the dirt. WE DON"T KNOW."
The U.S. was already not an economically or technologically backwater country before the creation of the Fed and before the emergence of fascism in the early 20th century, including in the U.S. WE DO KNOW THAT. The period between the Civil War and WW I was perhaps the greatest period of economic growth and material improvement of individual lives in the history of the world (America's Greatest Industrial Transformation, http://mises.org/daily/5466/).
Not overlooking the horrors of the U.S. Civil War to preserve the Union, the long list of evils perpetrated by powerful government since around 1913, some of them unspeakable, accompanied by the cumulative votes of hundreds of millions of approving citizens through it all to this very day, of a system that stands once again at the brink of yet another unnecessary foreign war and national/international financial collapse, is also something that WE DO KNOW.
Leviathan's warfare/welfare state requires no identification or explication here, nor is it necessary to ignorantly claim a lost utopia. But it is necessary to flatly deny that "we would still be a backwater country scratching our lives from the dirt" were it not for what "the fed and what our government has done to create such fragility and dependency".
Republicunts threw Paul under the bus and ran two shitheads instead.
Mutual idiocy. There are 13% reasonable humans in this country. Ron's final poll results. The rest of you just bent over for choomboy lite instead.
Yes you have the country you deserve.

"Americans elected and re-elected Choomboy."
Of the two "idiot" candidates on the ballot, the voters elected one of them
I do not believe in the integrity of the election process, especially at the national level, any more.
I should have questioned it a long time ago, but was just too naive.
You said it,brother.The idiots who voted for turd-boy TWICE got some 'splainin ' to do
90 MILLON JOBS ARE MISSING .
We have elections so you can't blame it to the "bankster oligarchs" even if you claim they spent millions to campaign for these idiots. The problem is we the electorates are bunch of idiots. "Birds of feather flocks together" and idiots vote for idiots.
No; run by the CIA and Rogue MIC elements with aim of a totalitarian fully militarized economy to achieve world domination; a fantasy; of course; but always fatal.
Why bother citing an article on 911 that doesn't mention Zionism?
12. If all of the public schools are filled with Mezkins, and you are forced to pay for private school if you want your child to get a real education... and if merely pointing out this fact makes you a racist, YOU LIVE IN A COUNTRY RUN BY IDIOTS.
If pointing out a racist shows off that you live in a country filled with idiots, then YOU ARE AN IDIOT.
Is that a real MAD mag cover,if so gotta have.
...If You Leaders Promote "Militarism & Consumerism Over Humanity and the Environment", You live in a Country run by Idiots.
