Guest Post: Does America Face An Election Between Two Moderates?
Submitted by James Miller of the Ludwig von Mises Institute of Canada
Does America Face An Election Between Two Moderates?
This weekend the runoff election will be held in Egypt to decide who will be the next president. The country’s first democratic election in decades comes one year after former President Hosni Mubarak was ousted during a massive civilian protest. Despite decades of financial support from supposedly democracy-friendly U.S. and Western governments, it’s was widely acknowledged that Mubarak’s constant reelection was the product of ballot rigging. He aggressively held power for years by censoring and controlling the media along with suppressing political dissent. Mubarak was shielded from most opposition by the fact that he used his office as a tool of political corruption and was the quintessential Western puppet of a dictator.
At the beginning, most journalists in the West were celebrating the Egyptian revolution as a victory for democratic governance. They saw the possibility of untainted elections as the best way for Egyptians to adopt their values. With the first presidential runoff ballot since Mubarak just around the corner, the good feelings have begun to wear off. Many prominent media publications are dismayed that this weekend’s contest is looking like a battle between two radical candidates. The Globe and Mail reports:
If this is what democracy is like, maybe we’re better off without it, many Egyptians voting in their first-ever truly free presidential election must be thinking.
With a choice between a leader of the Muslim Brotherhood on the one hand and a former air-force commander and prime minister for Hosni Mubarak on the other, not only do these virgin voters have to choose between two political extremes, but the majority of Egyptians don’t want either of them to win.
New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman equates the runoff election with “having to choose between two diseases.”
From the mainstream, corporate media perspective, this isn’t how elections are supposed to play out. In America, the Democrat vs. Republican paradigm forces both parties to appease centrists and independent voters. The nominees must campaign not as extremists, but pragmatic moderates who embody the level headedness of the people. The victor in November is thus given an electoral mandate from the voters to carry out their collective will.
This is also the election process taught in public schools and universities.
But while the American public has been duped into believing such a process gives rise to pragmatic and temperate leaders, quite the opposite is true.
With former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney now the presumptive Republican nominee, campaign season is now fully underway. Romney is being portrayed as the free market loving, social conservative choice to Barack Obama’s cool, calm, and collected liberalism. Instead of falling victim to the stereotype of being a fragile leftist, Obama’s ramping up of the War on Terror has been applauded by the right as a step toward the center. Weekly Standard editor and all around warmonger Bill Kristol declared the President a “born again neo-con.” And in spite of initially supporting a public option within his key legislative achievement of health care reform, Obama opted for the less extreme alternative of the individual mandate that the conservative Heritage Foundation once endorsed.
As for Romney, he was portrayed by his opponents as Obama-lite due to his pioneering the President’s health care scheme during his tenure as governor of Massachusetts. Romney has gone on record stating “I’m not going to cut $1 trillion in the first year” as it would “cause our economy to shrink [and] would put a lot of people out of work.” Of course his logic only works if you believe the money stolen and spent by the government actually creates wealth despite the expenditures never having to compete in the open market. Statements like these are what leads to Romney being called a “closet Keynesian” by Paul Krugman and the “Massachusetts moderate” by Newt Gingrich.
Though the November election will be hyped as two opposites squaring off against each other, both candidates are considered rather moderate compared to who could have been the nominees.
The question is, are Barack Obama and Mitt Romney really that moderate?
Let’s account for the similarity in policy of both.
–Both are large supporters of the military industrial complex. Romney has vowed to increase defense spending and wants the Navy, which is larger than the navies of the next 13 nations combined, to ramp up production of warships. Numerous times the former governor has vowed to prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon even if it means offensive military action. For Obama, as the New York Times recently revealed, the President spends every Tuesday morning playing God by picking out drone targets on what could be mistaken for baseball cards. His unlawfully ordered death strikes are based on flimsy evidence and incredibly vague criteria for determining who the enemy is. And then there are the hundreds of civilian casualties that have been a result of the unaccountable killing spree. The drone war won’t end in a second Obama administration and military aggression will likely escalate under a Romney presidency. This policy does absolutely nothing to keep the U.S. safe and everything to put the public in harm’s way.
–Both show no opposition to the Federal Reserve System and the banking cronyism it has institutionalized. Both supported the Wall Street bailouts and the unprecedented bout of money printing that took place during the financial crisis. While Goldman Sachs was Obama’s biggest private donor in the last election, the investment firm is currently Romney’s largest donor. This election is shaping up to be more of the same as Wall Street is bankrolling both candidates. Seeing as how the whole banking system operates under the veil of solvency due to fractional reserve lending, it is in the elite money lender’s interest to use their easy access to the printing press to keep the house of cards from collapsing.
–Neither candidate has made a peep out of ending the needlessly expensive and socially degenerating drug war. In fact, the Obama administration has increased spending on drug enforcement and has cracked down on medical marijuana distributors more than any other president before him. Romney hasn’t taken a position on the drug war but considering his socially conservative talking points, it’s extremely unlikely he will allow others the freedom of putting what they want in their own bodies. In short, both candidates are supporters of the prohibition on dry plants and the seedy and dangerous black market it has created.
–And then there is the drug of which all of Washington is addicted to: spending and borrowing. Neither Obama nor Romney have presented budgets that have actually brought expenditures in line with revenues. The national debt would balloon under both their proposals. Being that, as Lew Rockwell identified, pork barrel spending is the “entirety” of the federal government’s budget, denying the welfare dependents of their food stamps, the elderly of their Social Security checks, farmers of their subsidies, green energy companies of their taxpayer loans, Wall Street of its implied bailouts, dictators of their foreign aid, and military contractors of their lucrative deals has become electoral suicide.
Those opposed to the above polices are typically referred to as radicals. This is especially so for the independent minded who see politics as a game played by well dressed mobsters and the state as an institution of pure thievery. In modern American discourse, peace is now the policy of ignorance. The right to do what you want with your self and property must come second to the will of the ruling class. Being in favor of free markets and not the crooked capitalism which politicians love means wishing to see workers starving in the streets. True liberty is only of value to the dimwitted and unpatriotic.
Texas Congressman Ron Paul was a steadfast supporter of sound money, nonintervention, the unfettered market, and significantly axing government spending before a now guaranteed financial collapse. His reward was being treated like a senile uncle and his presidential campaign being subjected to an incredible amount of voter fraud. He was deemed too much of a threat to the establishment.
In the end, Paul and others who are disgusted at the utter cronyism that is the state aren’t the extremists. What’s extreme is a blind adoration of government power. Paul isn’t a radical; he is practically the only politician in Washington who isn’t a closet socialist or fascist on an egotistical power trip.
With such radicalism deeply entrenched in the U.S. government, the best hope the country has is for this fall’s election turnout to be the lowest on record. Like Egypt, the choice is between two radicals seeking to use the state’s apparatus of violence to help their political buddies and mold society to their liking. Voting for the lesser of two evils is still evil and immoral. The freedom to not vote is still available to Americans. They would be best to exercise it before it’s too late.

The biggest whores have seats in Congress.
Just remember if you vote for Obama, or Romney, or a 3rd party, or abstain or Kodos, some bozo is going to blame every individual American (you) for whatever ensues.
I nominate Kodos as the official write-in protest candidate!

Give us a cost benefit analysis on how these agencies are funded, what their contribution is to GDP? Lastly, are these organizations subsidized by global/localized taxpayers? Do these institutes require a 2-5% yearly fund increase to continue its 10 year mission?

Religious discussion has been replaced by other fairy tales and unicorns, namely Keyensian ecconomics and central planning voodoo.
Sadly, no, they're as loud and pointless as ever...and we still have to deal with central planning.
Philosophical discussion was replaced by religious discussion long ago. There is a difference. Philosophy says a person thinks for themselves, develops moral pillars as a standard for personal morality, and then makes moral decisions based on those pillars regardless of the judgement of the gods. Then powerful men told us we were not smart enough to figure it out ourselves, down graded our education, and then the gods said you will think this way..only it was a man telling you what god told him.
True believers don't question. They will be raptured by the printing press. God help them.
What you are trying to convey, is a fantasy. There is no such thing as a purely philosophical person who "makes moral decisions based on those pillars regardless of teh judgement of the gods". They do not exist outside of Capt. Picard and other grand fantasy schemes. Like keynesian economics, they only exist as possibilities on paper and in make believe. When tried in the real world, they will always fail.
Hint: even things you haven't witnessed personally can and do exist!
Endowed by our creator with certain unalienable Rights? What? The left's "creator" and religion is Government. And your rights depend on who you know.
More specifically, the left's god is themselves, ie their own pride that they walk around with, thinking they can solve any problem themselves if they only put their mind to it and reject everything that works outside of their hubris.
And your pride rests in the abdication of personal responsibility to a robed proxy?
Let us know when you're ready to get off your knees.

"The left" (i.e. the 90% of society that isn't to the right of you) doesn't have a single Nazi-like vision for how all Americans should think, unlike "The Right" which is pretty much guaranteed to represent the rights of churches better than citizens. My "creator" is physics, a topic those who spend their Sundays in supplication would benefit from mightily, if they weren't so hell-bent on destroying the planet to kickstart the rapture with their 15 kids and multiple SUVs (the only real difference between them and the Taliban is that Wal-Mart food isn't Halal).
In their world, your rights depend on who you owe.
The minimum wage is a nazi-like vision. Forcing me to pay someone to murder your unborn child is Nazi-like. Forcing me to pay for ILLEGAL immigrant's ride at a PUBLIC school is Nazi-like. Your leftist vision is creating all kinds of f'd little projects that are slowly combining to ensure we can't possibly hire people to even package our own goods, never mind making the products. You are destroying your own culture and as Obama is trying now, he wants to ensure that LEFTIST views trump thousands of years of strongly held religious views.
The constitution was created by creationist, fundamental Christians and those right wing extremists (like FRINGE extreme compared to the Republicans of today) gave massive freedom to all, especially local and state governments. It's your leftist pals that are front and center in power grabbing to the federal government and then taking away rights from citizens.
Health care is a good example, as is the Catholic issue.
What else can be said other than delusion and deception is your strongest suit.
Any worse than forcing me to pay for the effects of your broken ideology on young innocents and the progeny you induce them to carry to term?
Perhaps you should take a look around and see that the majority of the left in America is just as devout as you are. Even the Catholic nuns agree that universal healthcare should be a moral obligation of any sane Christian. As for unborns and Nazi-like visions...I wasn't aware that you were being forced to use birth control?
Is depriving someone else of their sovereignty always a requirement for you to feel you aren't being dictated to? Curious hypocrisy that!
The Constitution was written by men who knew enough about mixing religion and politics to forbid the establishment you so callously assume was in the document from the start (when nothing could be further rfom the truth). You obviously spend more time reading the Bible than the Federalist Papers or any Virginia history.
Here's what else can be said: the long pathetic history of your brainwashed attempts to control other humans through making them feel inadequate about their very humanity may well be drawing to a close. And thank whatever deity floats your boat that the anencephalic heirarchical dominator meme that has twisted your pointed little head will be subsumed in something much closer to what your Christ envisioned at Qum'ran.
Now take your lame Paul-anity and thou-shalts and shove them up your self-righteous ass before the venal sin of your pride takes you asunder.
Election? You fuckin people are hilarious. The word is "Selection"....and it ain't the "people" doin the selection.
But hey...keep pushin the illusion...eventually, the acid trip becomes contagious.
In the land of the blind the one eyed man is king.
Land of the slaves, home of the cowards. Do you really expect a legitimate election?
cowardly slaves = amerikan exceptionalism
yeah...it's like that.
Sadly yes. I am beginning to believe that ZH will either become a record of patriotism or the reason "the state" had to ... well ... whatever. There are enough free thinkers (if we agree on all points or not) that it will come to Ben Francklin's 'join or die.'
Rhetorical: What is LIBERTY? Why is there a statue of it? What is the relationship between a right and an obligation?
I just want readers to think about that. The most patriotic a person can be is to listen to someone yelling at the top of their lungs a message that is directly opposed to their own beliefs, and yet allow them that right.
You may want to/ " reallocate" that post. Lot's of Spanish in my Familia'

100% correct. The GOP establishment treated Pat Buchanan much worse after he won the New Hampshire GOP Primary in 1996. The GOP establishment showed its true nature and savaged Buchanan. Some of the younger ZH followers here may not remember that so well, but it was brutal. The GOP hasn't nominated a candidate for POTUS worth a damn in a long time.
No, America Faces An Election Between Two Morons.
considering the voters...it seems fitting.
You gotch your militant morman or your alciada muslim for your NWO choice of enslavement. But SHTF and the revolution take place you be free to make your own decision whether or not the globalist in office is an American president. Stay frosty and keep an ear to the ground.
I think I'll pass on taking political advice from Canadians. Clean up your own house, Eh.
spoken like a truly exceptional amerikan.
now raise your can of budweiser and say cheers!
It isn't sustainable... yada, yada, and time marches on. I just pray to the Lord Jesus Christ for two things:
1) That the oil runs out before the revolution so lucifer can't use his super-weapons against the good people.
2) I may live to bear the brunt so my children may come later after the worst is behind us.
Okay so they BOTH suck. Vote for a third-party candidate. If enough did maybe they could win. Screw both major parties. Hell, Bernie Sanders became a Senator.
Yeah, and I just saw Elvis and Bigfoot fucking on a Unicorn.

I was gonna write RP in. Now, I'm gonna write "Daffy Duck" as my write-in candidate. Even Ron Paul tuned out to be a hamster.
scrooge mcduck, at least he knows what real money is. there is no upcoming election. it's already been decided. just a circus sideshow complete with worn out clowns. diebold voting machines, spanish vote tallying company. can it get any more surreal?
Republican/Democrat=Two sides of the same coin. IMO Barry is the third most destructive Pres in our history, Wilson being #1 and FDR #2. Some might throw Lincoln in there too. Romney will equal Barry. He will not reverse anything Barry has done. He can't because his puppet masters that will have put him in power, if they choose to, will not allow him to reverse anything. It's all about continuity of government and no matter who is put in charge the same major policies will continue. They will throw out some small issues for the masses to fight over. It keeps the masses distracted from the real damage that's being done. The destruction of America from within is the goal and Romney/Obama are just one of the tools being used to accomplish the task.
Agree, but at this point I personally have it as Wilson, Barry, FDR. Mostly because if I hear one more time that I can't stand O Fucktard because I'm racist (unbelievable the prevalence of this zombie talk), not because he is literally getting away with murder while tearing huge chunks from the Republic and wiping his ignorant "constitutional scholar" ass with the Constitution, my poor melon may finally explode.

So let's assume alien invasions and WWIII are not the best answers available, but I sure would love to hear Paul Krugman explain his logic to this President Harding in a room full of veterans who just returned from WWI, as to why he thinks he makes more sense?
He would get absolutely shit-canned and run out of town within the hour.
Much of this failed 'Nobel Prize' system of awards for the undeserving out-of touch academic buffon should be completely abandoned, as it's become a wretchedly destructive farce, of epic and perilously dangerous proportions, that's creating havoc and grand distortions to logic and to common sense responses, that now threatens to swamp the very capacity of humanity to survive into the future. This Nobel Prize Emperor has been shown again and again to be butt-naked.
These two war-mongering retarded turds now bidding for Prez will absolutely demolish what is left.
Moderates? Two con men w/o a plan just a thirst for power.
They are both Centracrats. Not as in political center, but central concentration of power. They may argue about the path, but the goal is the same. Government owning all, and government controlling all.
If Romney were to run as a conservative, he would run on a platform of reducing the controls and regulations of the federal goernment, and return powers to the states. If a state doesn't want to legalize something, then that is the end of it. No more of this ACLU crap.
The federal government should only exist to protect the country from foerign attack. Anything internal should be the responsibility of the states. If California wants to give out welfare and $85k a year pensions, go ahead,but when it fails it fails. In other words, don't rob Idaho to pay for Detroit ghettos.
The drug war is bullshit because 90% of the drugs are let in the border and controlled by groups our politicians are connected to. Hundreds of thousands of dirty cops take bribes to let the drugs flow. Legalization is not an option to me. I'd take the army and invade columbia and mexico, killing every drug lord we have info on. Drugs destroy society, including much of what is made by big Pharma. Prozac is as dangerous to society as cocaine. This is the job of the Federal government, protecting the USA from foreign enemies. However, today we are wondering who got paid off big for Fast and Furious, instead of wondering how the program would have made us safer. Safety was never the goal, manipulating the drug war for the benefit of the politician's pocket book was.
If you want to be a pot head, that's your business, but it still shouldn't be legal. But if you want it legalized, it should be based on the city. That way if you want to fuck up your town, go ahead. But don't fuck up everywhere else because of the stupidity of the few. If your city votes it down, don't complain. Move to the desert with some other like minded pot heads and start your own town. When you starve to death, it won't be the fault of anyone but you.
That is why we don't have freedom, and why the country is doomed. Central planning only rewards the corrupt, the criminal, and the stupid. The moral, the honest, and the productive don't need a government to take care of them. They can provide for themselves. Freedom is letting your dumbass neighbor starve if he deserves it. Freedom is also letting you save him if you think he deserves to be saved. Government taking your property to save your neighbor because they believe he should be saved is nothing but facism.
You are right about alot, but went off the rails on the reefer madness tangent.
I dont see it as being a city issue at all under the framework of the Constitution, but a state one. You seem to recognize this in one paragraph, but then throw it overboard in the next. Do you also want to ban alcohol on all but the city level, or is that OK in your book and somehow different?
Ive seen a helluva lot more people die or destroy their lives because of alcohol than smoking weed.
weed is the only "drug" I've taken heavily for long periods of time and then stopped suddenly for long periods of time with no side effects. Booze, coffee, cigarettes no so much...
edit by side effects I mean withdrawals or adverse affects from stopping
adr
today we are wondering who got paid off big for Fast and Furious, instead of wondering how the program would have made us safer. Safety was never the goal, manipulating the drug war for the benefit of the politician's pocket book was.
Agree w/ all you said except this,it may have been part of it but the end goal of it was to get ONE more reason for taking away Americans rights to fireams.
The kind needed to use if we had to. O & Vincente in collusion to kill ONE big bird,the 2nd Amendment,and the right to semi automatic weapons, and ammunition.
After 16 long years of the "Eurozone" still debating what Greece and Europe should do the year is now 2023. The governement turns to Beef Supreme to start "rehabilitating" the countries fiscal policies. Beef Supreme decides to make Mexicans "legal aliens" and Bill Cliton their new god. After they build the new freedom tower everyone gathers for the sacrifices which Lord Bin Laden's chosen one initiates. Waterboarding becomes a daily routine for most people to obtain the truth from one another, which was also a mandate from Beef Supreme. It was decided it was not torture since it only involves water.

it is hard to believe the decent and loss of basic decency that these neo cons satanist bank boot lickers have put upon the world, nothing against decent well behaved

there is really no way to overstate how horrible

these are people that should be amish but instead were

Seems like 95% of the North American populace right now.
North American cultural legacy is in large part a strong moral compass. The state seeks to divest the populace of that heritage and encourage them into a moral twilight zone. Don't let that happen, there really is a clear difference between right and wrong, just listen to intuition, imagine what great grandparents would do and realize that you are allowed to take a stand and form your own opinion. And speaking of Satan's block and tackle, turn off that fucking TV (at least the "news" shows).
you may want to reconsider this as your "truth"
because all those humans on the receiving end of the the "strong moral" compass point would surely disagree with you.
of course, if you're going on "history" as fed you since birth, with or without TV, then carry on, prolly not much use in exanding your awareness to include what really happens in the "world" that's excluded from the narrative.

When Barack Obama announced the US (2010) national budget for this year, we experienced unprecedented feelings. Never before had an imperialistic power moved them to pity. This is unthought-of. This year’s deficit is estimated to be $1.6 trillion and its foreign debt has gotten completely out of hand. It hits numbers that only mathematicians and astrophysicists knew existed few decades ago. There is no space for these numbers in the electronic boards so it is driven to add new elements on them.
It all started with the big crisis of 1929. The American economy reached a deadlock because of its social "pathogenesis"; a deadlock that led it to economic crisis in a different - faster- pace than the rest of the industrial forces of that time. Important decisions had to be made - mostly social - and the Whites didn't like that, especially the Whites' rulers, the Anglo-Saxons.

Corporation America the last Plantation
Voting in Obama or Romney will not change the welfare-warfare plantation better known as America (aka amerika).America As A Corporation Under Roman Rule America is a crown colony, but The Crown is NOT the british monarch: The Crown is The Temple Bar, lawyers who are inextricably linked to international bankers. They own nearly everything in the world, including you. PS. you? are officially dead (lost at sea) .End the Fed, End income tax (it's unconstitutional) cut the illegal black ops? (FISA), end the illegal pre-emptive wars, drop FEMA, drop HAARP, stop global stratospheric geoengineering. Boom, you've rescued the economy."

I don't trust Celente's blog as a source Blindman. I've seen way too much elaborately faked and completely dodgy shit posted on and linked from that blog (the kind that wants your money). I came to the conclusion that Celente is totally involved in that shit. He may tell a nice tale, but I don't trust him one bit. I think people cut him way too much slack due to his forecasting reputation, whatever. They need to take a close hard look at the content of his blog. Ask yourself if it's real, or valid, or verifiable then do some checking and digging and testing into the offered sources and claims that are being slipped in. Some of it is a bit of a production, but it's fake and it's after your money.
Then ask yourself why he's actually got a reputation for being so amazingly accurate and reliable with the overt trends projection to predictions.
I concluded he's actually been told, he's on the inside.
Have a look at who he knocks around with and is interviewed by on a regular basis.
Note how much money is involved in all the scams and 'offers' are being run in the process of keeping everyone 'updated' and 'informed' at these various sites. See how many scams you can detect.
The temptation with Celente is that he's one of the guys that regularly says, "Don't take my word for it, don't take anyone's word for it, do your own research."
It's a psychological gimmick you see, not a warning to inform yourself as such, because he knows that when he says that with such apparent passion, a lot of people hearing it are going to think, "ok, if he's being right up-front about this, then I'll take it as a given that he's basically honest and not being nefarious."
He knows that more often than not this is going to work in generating credulousness, and once he's got people going down that path, he can feed in some shocking and fantastic claims in his various sites (which are all bait), like that blog yiou referrenced, and he knows most people won't even question or check these.
He knows what buttons to press, and he's got that mesmerising charismatic gift-of-the-gab, because he's a professional and a very expert con-man.
A really interesting read.
Celente seemed to get his ass handed to him on a MFG embossed plate though - what do you make of that? Didn't see that one coming?

That tells you all you need to know about the content's veracity. There's something very dodgy going on there.
"The owner of this blog does not necessarily support or endorse the contents" ... and ... "This Blog is NOT run or owned by Gerald Celente" ... what?
So what the fuck is this site then? And who does own it, and is legally responsible for it?
And what is the relationship to THE Gerald Celente, and to the, "Trends Journal"?
It's dodgy as.
I don't read or "follow" Celente, but this certainly sounds familiar,
kind of like the "who authored those newsletters?" that the faithful followed for so many decades? and then waved the hand of dismissal at anyone questioning the author of the rhetoric.
I agree, "it's dodgy as" ^^
i think you are correct in everything you
have said. it is a site with a bunch of
productions of "radical" thought. it is like
a place where you can see what the mainstream
rejects out of hand, for the most part, and that
is why i like it. some of the productions are
tedious and "imaginative" but they challenge
the viewer to think. the lenny bloom, max egan,
gerald celente and others exposure, and rense ..
people would do themselves a service to listen
to those speakers it seems to me.
first rule of adulthood, trust no man.
think for yourself, that is the only thing that
commands respect in the real world.
we are in a realm of dropped names here. who runs
the site, for all i know it is the nsa. perhaps
a benevolent faction of it? who runs this site,
zerohedge? pretty anonymous, perhaps the same
benevolent faction? or maybe the stalinists in
waiting? i do not and can not know. it doesn't
matter in this moment.
someone told me once concerning online posting and
discussion. " these people are not your friends."
that is correct. i could die, they could die and
it would mean nothing to either as it is a disembodied
interaction for most involved. the hosts are
part of it, virtual. it is man using the machine to
rage against the machine, there are contradictions,
a metaphysical transition phase with plenty of
friction and drag.
here is something i believe, everything posted is reviewed and saved by some form of "intelligence"
apparatus, that would be at least one human being
is thinking about what you write. i say tell them the
truth as best you can and perhaps they will learn
something of the truth rather than the bullshit that
is ubiquitous. the life you save may be your own.
i believe in the educability of man, and the possibility
of redemption and spirited living with joy and humor,
no matter how miserable some insist the experience must
be. fuck em'. we need to take the world back from
the sociopaths, they don't know how to live, that is
why i call them sociopaths.
best to you, element, even though i have no idea
if it is really you i'm speaking to.
ps. re: celente and mf global....
"This is the shock that was felt by the customers of MF Global when their money was brazenly and openly stolen. They were a part of the game, they were believers in the system, well educated, hard-working. But to the powerful insiders they were really just cockroaches, and another form of prey."

for all i know max works for the nsa too? or some
faction but what does it mean? al quida is the cia,
the president of the usa is named hussein , romney
is the mormon version of m. milken? we are into
a level of virtual verbal scrabble regarding our
linguistic assumptions? confused by design, there
must be big money in it. last thing, hussein will
be selected as president again, romney will shake
down supporters for more money to feed the ailing networks. it is obama for the skin in the game
regarding affrica and the next 4 years of influence
there. that shallow and simple. it is about the
light as it comes off the skin, politics. check
the value of a good make up artist and the unified
particle theory of light.
Well that was a shit-hot reply blindman, we're on the same wavelength.
It is me just don't ask what that means.
It was actually an interesting take on the IRS's function anyway.

A Dream Within A Dream
For my own part, I have never had a thought
Which I could not set down in words
With even more distinctness that which I conceived it.
There is however a class of fancies of exquisite delicacy
Which are not thoughts and to which as yet
I have found it absolutely impossible to adapt to language.
These fancies arise in the soul,
Alas how rarely, only at epochs
Of most intense tranquillity
When the bodily and mental health are in perfection.
And those mere points of time
When the confines of the waking world
Blend with the world of dreams.
And so I captured this fancy
Where all that we see or seem
Is but a dream within a dream.

There ain't a fly's dick of difference between these two frauds anyway.
Omney and Robama, made with loathing from interchangeable parts.
I fail to see why so much time is spent by Zero Hedge pretending this horseshit election cycle will have any effect on the world beyond the assholes and their entourages.
We're all "with child" from the rape of our civilization by these boys' masters. Do we raise the little bastard as if we love it, or eat it to survive?
"I fail to see why so much time is spent by Zero Hedge pretending this horseshit election cycle will have any effect on the world beyond the assholes and their entourages."
Actually, I'm glad that they do so we can all publicly tear it to pieces. And I think that's exactly why they do it since I do not believe that the Zerohedge staff falls for the partisan illusion of choice BS any more than they do for the mainstream financial media BS.
fuck barack obama and fuck mitt romney
Another Obama supporter line of B.S. Say they are the same and so vote for the guy that kills US citizens hiding in the basement of the White House.
Hi all,
First post on here. Past bedtime, but thought I'd post the following real quick. Not that voting seems to mean much these days. But...
I know won't be voting for either SIFI Banker's wet dream, Mitt "Ramen Noodle" Romney or Barack "Nope and Chagrin" Obama.
I'll be putting on Ron "Rocks!" Paul as a write-in! One things for sure, he's the only reason I switched from the Libertarian Party to Republican.
To help Restore America Now, buy Gold and Silver!
Cheers all
One is beholden to bankstas, the other IS a banksta. It's a fucking rigged scam and you may vote for either one, but you don't really get to choose.

America faces an election between an incompetent buffoon and an accomplished executive.
Both are extremist predatory authoritarian statist thugs.
As the 2012 Presidential race heads into the sweltering heat of summer candidates are still unable to enter this year's summer Olympic games in the category of 'mudslinging'. Political campaigns nonetheless have become emblematic of a sanctioned Olympic event – pole vaulting (a.k.a. Poll Vaulting).
Narcissistic politicians love to pretend to be Olympic pole vaulters. First they allow themselves to be tested for illegal levels of a banned substance called intelligence by Washington K Street lobbyists. Then they attempt to jump over a bar that is painted high up on a brick wall by the media. While this may seem an odd way of demonstrating one's Ivy League credentials it 'smacks' of insanity without a trace of intelligent restraint (a.k.a. - incumbents).
Re. Does America Face An Election....
No - what America faces is an eRection - a big throbbing one.
And America is gonna get it, bent over, real good and hard.
Both are representative of the dominate ideas in the festering contemporary culture. We continually get what most people seem to want. When (if ever) we get the candidate that we can embrace, the cultural rot will have already begun to improve.
It's the ethics of altruism that's dominate, and it's a killing force.
"We continually get what most people seem to want."
No, we continually get what most people don't even know is happening. And what they think they want is based upon the illusion of choice presented by ad agencies working with focus groups. Guns, gays and god(s). Divert the masses with peripheral issues while robbing them blind with far more crucial but ignored or accepted (due to complete public ignorance) policies.
James Miller, Open your eyes.
Your article mentions "journalists". What are you trying to push? Members of the MSM publish propaganda with a purpose. Journalism died along the road many years ago. You know this.
Your article also attempts to assign some significance to the upcoming elections. Please give it a rest. Both of the "candidates" are water boys for tptb and will damn well do as they are told. Neither one of them has an ounce of backbone, or gives a bloody stink about the people of the US.
Its a dog and pony show to give the masses the illusion of choice and continue the myth that they live in some kind of representative republic. You know this too.
"Its a dog and pony show to give the masses the illusion of choice and continue the myth that they live in some kind of representative republic."
It is highly refreshing to see so many people here who actually know the score. If more of the delusional, propagandized and manipulated, partisan idiots passing for American voters would wake up from their stupor, these clowns would not get validated with their votes and we'd have elections where no one would show up.
However, since 50% of the people you see in public every day are on the left hand side of the IQ bell curve and most of those who are on the right hand side are successfully propagandized, that will never happen. The smart, but ethically bankrupt, will always herd the sheep.
I don't know if America faces a choice between two crony cocks who should both probably be in the legal court-room docks, but the world is suffering from Amerika's voracious consumerist appetite, now aped by China, to pollute the world and create this :
Global warming: The vanishing north | The Economist
And don't tell me its in the long cycle of nature...
Its very much a man-made Augean stables; just look at those two mountains of plastic junk floating on the greatest oceans of the world; all thanks to US refusal to handle its municipal and industrial wastes in responsible fashion.
"Does America Face An Election Between Two Moderates?"
to any productive person these 2 candidates are parasites with a heavy negative drag on the economy
to any civil person these 2 pro-war global thugs are the worst excess of a deluded and deranged State (of mind) and are nothing short of disturbing-the-civil-peace terrorists
how anyone could describe these 2 corrupt bankers puppets as "moderate" rather than in criminal terms is a sign of just how insane our society has become and propagndised by the sociopathic can't-stop-lying-and-spinning State
Monikers such as conservative (conserve the doomed status quo) and progressive (progressing toward tyranny) and the distorted left-right paradigm only serve to dumb-down and distract the sheeple.
Understand that the political spectrum is from 100% or totalitarian gubmint (left) to anarchy or 0% (absence of) gubmint (right). All of these @$$#01e ruling-party politicians like Bushbama and Obamney are way out left on the totalitarian end of the political spectrum.
Statesman like Ron Paul and other organizations in the liberty movement are centrists who advocate gubmint limited to protecting men's rights from others, including gubmint.
Of course, when you live on the extreme left, these centrists look far right.
To understand the political spectrum, political and economic systems and how they interact, I encourage watching "Overview of America." It really fit some missing pieces into my puzzle.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F_ciT1psaPc
I also recommend reading The Law, by 19th century Frawg legal philosopher Frederic Bastiat, who observed how the law is always ultimately perverted by the power elite into a system of legalized plunder.
http://www.constitution.org/cmt/bastiat/the_law.html
The ruling party presidential appointee Obamney is just another far left statist who will perpetuate a fascist/socialist/communist economic system under a political oligarchy.
The vote in the US is to steal from the origin of Friedman's quote (i.e. Germany) is like choosing between Leprosy and Cholera. Vote at your peril. Nothing will improve, but only get worse at different speeds.
Who can you name that is to the left of Obama? There's not many. He is easily the most liberal president in the history of this country and his Congressional voting record shows this as well. I would have to assume the author of the article thinks socialism/liberalism is centrist thinking and I simply do not. Hugo Chavez probably thinks he's a moderate also and I suppose Fidel Castro thought of himself as a centrist but the reality is far different.
Can you point to liberal policies he has backed with his bully pulpit? Speaking for liberal causes with sound bites doesn't count when you cave before negotiations even begin. First thing he did with health care was make a deal with one of his benefactors, Big Pharma, so that we could continue to pay more than the rest of the world for drugs. He let the Republicans use the "death panels" bullshit to their advantage instead of opening an honest dialog with voters about what end of life counseling means and educating them on the benefits of universal care. Instead we are stuck with continuing to pay up to 30% of health care expense for paperwork pushers in the insurance industry. What other "liberal" policies has he enacted?
Obama is no moderate.
It is Da Grifter vs The Whiter Obama.
Uncle Tom vs Whitey Obama
One is already a God, the other will be when he dies.
When in Massachusetts Romney was an Obama.
In Chicago, Obama did his best Daley impressions since a doper in Hawaii.
The best part is we deserve both of them and the worst is yet to come, looking on the bright side.
NO - We face an election between two PSYCHOPATHS who POSE as "moderates"/"conservatives"/"liberals"/etc when it is to their advantage.
Radical sociopaths if you ask me. Extremely dangerous as well (al-Qaeda is nothing compared to them).
Mever ever vote for the lesser of two evils. The lesser evil will claim a mandate by the voters and go on to work his evil. Instead, leave the section blank. That leaves a message.
I heard John Tamny (RealClearMarkets) once say that he wouldn't vote for Romney b/c he would just do brand-damage to the Republican party.
Obama is crippled by his ignorance. He is one of the worst know-nothings ever to inhabit the White House. In a way, he is the perfect president for an age of entertainment and blather, where TV watchers get their news from the likes of Bill Maher, an insufferable cretin, or NPR. We've created an economy where people who can't sing win Grammys, and tools who build and add nothing to the greater good become overnight billionaires. Obama fits into this world like a hand in a glove. Vapid blarney, air, President Gas. Obama is Justin Bieber w/power.
You could call him a socialist, but that is a disservice to socialism. Obama has the basic utilitarian from each according to his abilities to each according to his needs nonsense he got in a college class on gender studies, and it still rattles around in his brain. But he is a fool. and if there is one thing this oaf demonstrates it is an utter inability to learn from his mistakes. Add to that the fact that he is cynical enough to make Richard Nixon seem idealistic and you see the problem. Liberals love him because he talks like them, watches Sesame Street, and his wife has serfs grow her vegetables. Not one single move he has made since getting elected has been a plus for this once great nation. Fiscal policy? Energy policy? Health Care?
Romney is no great shakes, but at least he learns from his mistakes. He has some fundamentally screwy ideas: stay in Afghanistan, keep up the war on drugs. But they all have those. War on drugs is the full employment police act. Without it too many cops go on welfare. And what about all those folks in jail for drug-related crimes? What are they going to do for work? My biggest concern about Romney is that he won't take on the Federal Reserve and the utterly corrupt monkeys on Wall Street. I don't know how much longer America can tolerate a rigged market, insolvent and dishonest banks, and the circle jerk that is the Federal Reserve. But at least he is not a totalitarian in progressive disguise.
There is no difference between the two in any matter of substance. Obama has the edge because of his competence in managing the incompetent policies of his predecessor(s). Romney will simply do as he is told by the MIcomplex/banksters who really write the legislation. He has already made it clear that he will continue to favour the wealthy, defer to Israel, push down wages and liquidate the middle class. Obamacare is not socialism, it is corporatism... compulsory enrollment in a private for profit program.
God help you all.
I propose a simple strategy which still allows one to vote and consider it not wasted. Apply for an Absentee Ballot from your local Board of Elections. For your choice for President: WRITE-IN Ron Paul. Then if you desire to further show your "middle finger" to the Status Quo: determine which of those on the Ballot are Incumbents and vote for their OPPONENT, regardless of Party affiliation (if successful this will drive the Lobbyists crazy as they will have to cultivate "relationships" with new people). Absentee Ballots help one avoid the "Diebold Effect" when voting electronically, and avoid the "Florida Effect" when voting by Punch Card. I believe this is a better alternative to NOT voting.
With an absentee ballot you won't have to worry about your vote being miscounted...
Because they don't count them at all. They just chuck out the whole box.
It's an election between two sockpuppets................
Our government has been taken over by jack boot corporate terrorists. America is now AmericKa and I will not participate in this charade of democracy.
Two Communists, there, fixed it for ZH
I can't see any reason to vote for sock puppets.
"YOU HAVE TO VOTE! YOU NEED TO EXERT YOU CONSTITUTIONAL PRIVILEGES!"
Sorry, but suck my dick. The Constitution has been preempted, and the asshats on the ballots are SuperPAC sock puppets. Game over. New paradigm needed.
I just don't get the "freedom to not vote" part. I like my Pasadena Phil Rule better:
I NEVER vote for liberals or Democrats, ESPECIALLY when they run as Republicans. Vote 3rd, I mean 2nd, party. Always vote.
The idea is to boost the denominator and dilute the meaning of any victory by one of the two Democratic party candidates. For instance, if one candidate wins by garnering 42 million of 80 million votes cast, the headline reads as a landslide with 53% of the vote and can claim a mandate. But if an additional 20 million cast their vote for another candidate who loses, the headline will not include "landslide" and 42% is no mandate. That is what happened in 1992 and we were much better off with a Clinton or Bush with no mandate than we would have been with either with a mandate. Ross Perot delayed what happened in 2008 by at least ten years. We owe him a debt of gratitude. This is also why Ron Paul should run independent again this year.
Voting matters. Don't stay home. Just vote "none of the above" by picking ANYONE else.
Moderates? Who the hell chose that word?

Massive write in campaign for Ron Paul.
3% roll call
I have a bumper sticker on my car that reads "Obama vs. Romney Jackass vs Jackass". I generally see a lot of people in my rear view mirror laughing. I am thru with 'the lesser of 2 evils' campaigns. If there's not a worthwhile candidate fuck it no vote from me.
I have a bumper sticker on my car that says, "WWJB: Who would Jesus bomb?" I am a Christian, not the typical braindead type, and I am trying to get people in the Bible Belt (I know....futile, probably) to use their brain and their heart for once.
Anyway, last night my son and I were getting out of our car in a parking lot when a young guy (who was with a girl dressed like a prostitute) walked by and offered his opinion to us. He said, "Jesus would bomb MUSLIMS." I was so shocked, and tend not to be good at quick respponses, especially when I am so stunned, that I basically didn't say anything. I did look at him in disgust, and then spent the next several hours coming up with my response to this bastard, and wishing, in my baser instincts, that I would have punched him in the face!
My conclusion? We are so screwed....
I've got a sticker on my cars that say "ATLAS SHRUGGED". If you want one, for free (including me stamping), just send me a message. I also have some "VOTE HIM OUT WHILE YOU CAN" stickers, but nobody seems to want them.
In this corner we have Tweedle Dee and in this corner we have Tweedle Dum and in the USA we have Ho Hum It dont matter who we are screwed so elect the theif of your choice.
Guest Post: Does America Face An Election Between Two Moderates?
No. Its the SAME shit, just different piles.
Obamney 2012
Just vote for an independent - any.
It is time for a clean sheet.
A two party system is one party away from totalitarianism.
MASS ARRESTS... the only answer for ending Obamneyism once and for all... http://tinyurl.com/cd5cyjo
I so much do not want to say this.
But I think that the Pauls have betrayed us.
Both of them.
Forget Rand, he was never anything. Just for a handful of silver he left us. just for a ribbon to stick in his coat.
But even Ron -- if he were serious, if he were real -- he would run. He would give us a chance at a new party like Abraham Lincoln did.
This is the time, when America is waking up, when a new party, a party of liberty, could be born.
Make it, or die trying, Ron. That's what you do when you believe what you say.
In your place that is what I would do.
Or you could stay in the right-hand party of the Powers, and keep us all there with your bad speaking voice and your beautiful ideas.
Keep us in that trap
I think that Ron Paul has sold our hopes.
It's hard for me to feel that any politician betrayed me because, fwiw, it's my humble opinion all of the politicans who have reached national prominance are nothing but a bunch of lying S.O.B.'s. They've sold their souls to the puppet masters. That's if they ever had a soul.
America is screwed because we didn't insist on high standards and now it's too late.
Lincoln? LOL
Lincolns party of Greenbacked Government Uber Alles is what put us here, that lunatic laid the cornerstones for the whole thing.
Well, yes, good point.
But it was a new party. I'm sure you cannot imagine how sick I was of the fucking Whigs by that point.
Of course, had I at the time been aware of Mr. Lincoln's vampire-killing exploits, I might have felt (and voted) differently.
President Obama orders the CIA to use missile-launching flying robots to assassinate U.S. citizens without trial and he's considered a MODERATE. WOW. He ramped up Afghanistan and sent cronies all over the world to topple regimes. The Obama administration has sold more small arms than any other in American history.
Moderate=Anybody who hasn't dropped an atom bomb. Yet.
The Egyptian's will vote for the Muslim [MB] Brotherhood even with their close affiliation to the Salafis [sharia law?]. Granted the people are voting for the first time in what seems to be a choice between the 'devil you know [Amed Shafik] and the devil you don't know' [Mohamed Morsi], and the haves and have nots. After all, if the MB is a failed attempt, they can always vote the party out in four years. What's important, is to keep in context the very reasons for the Arab Spring uprisings - to bring about freedom [not hope?] too choose and lay the groundwork for a better future which was never attainable under the dictatorial Mubarak regime and his cronies!
Next we move into the main theme of illicit moderation?
I lived in Boston, so I know the political landscape. There have always been republican governors. The sad part is that Ted [diseased] Kennedy and his partner in crime Kerry have run the state into the ground politically and financially. Romney had to fight both tooth and nail just to get basic, and generic legislation past, period! His healthcare legislation wasn't perfect but the Democratic majority {[since the infamous evolution of Gerrymandering, instituted by Mass. Governor Elbridge Gerry] [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerrymandering ]} knew it was needed because of the exploding deficit. So,... what does one do, but toss the hot-potato [health care bill] into the hands of a Republican governor and let the litmus test thrive or fail. Indeed, these feigning muckrakers all piled high, on the sole head of Mitt Romney. Why do you think when he was offered the Olympic job he jumped with all fours! Simple, he wanted out of this crony, nepotistic, and pathetic ['Boss' tweed/ Chicago style symbiotic marriage] state!
Ted Kennedy and Kerry fucked it up so bad, I'm a bit surprised it hasn't gone bankrupt because of it's corruptness! Yeah, the cornerstone of american Independence is now a state of decadence! [check out the public pensions, the double/ triple dipping, etc., etc., and ?]
So in conclusion - I'm voting for the moderate Romney... no matter what that lying fuck Obama says, period!
jmo
Thankyou
And what of the Paul/Romney alliance? "Our families are similar," eh?
Liberal, Moderate, Conservative as descriptions of political philosophy don't matter in this election as both candidates are Owned which is the only descriptive term worth noting about either.
O'blamer, a moderate? Have you been smokin crack? He is to the left of Karl Marx himself. And yes, Romney like McCain before him, had difficulty in the primaries precisely because he is too moderate. Would he have the balls to pull a Scott Walker and actually cut off the head of the union/public sector beast devouring our country? We shall see, 'cuz he is CLEARLY the lesser of two evils.
And quit calling it crony capitalism - the rotting stench of corruption coming from Washington DC has NOTHING to do with capitalism.
Yes ... Crony Cronyism or Crony Crapitalism or Crappy Cronyism ... all fit
He he he...... sure.
“For Forms of Government let fools contest; whatever is best administered is best.“ - Alexander Pope
With voter participation rates in the United States, this government can in no way claim a representative legitimacy. We recently had a primary here where less than 1% of the voters went to the polls.
What we have is a fascist dictatorship - a veiled one, but a dictatorship nevertheless - and possibly the most severe one in the world by a large margin, if incarceration rates are anything to go by.
Voting is just participating in a rigged game. Any form of voluntary participation in this charade just encourages the tyrants. No messiah is going to come along and fix this shit from the top down. The only course is local community and awareness, resistence, and non-compliance with illegal laws and regulations (which is 95% of what they do). Build a parallel society and financial structure and let the parasites atrophy. If you have to write in someone, make it Jon Corzine. Why beat around the bush?
Terry Gilliam is a genius visionary. Democracy = mass manipulation. End feodalism of massive government which is justifying feodalism because it was "chosen" by the people. Republic, with small budget and do not ask nothing to the masses. Leave them alone with their daily cores.
