What a relief and Edwards did the same! Now if only the rest of the front runners, Republican and Democrat alike, would follow suit. Although I must say, out of all the front runners, I dislike Obama the least. Too bad Kucinich didn’t have a chance in this two-party regime and too bad we’re left to choose between doody and vomit.

If McCain wins, Iran will be attacked.
(Presidential candidate John McCain shocked observers on Sunday when he told a crowd of supporters, “There’s going to be other wars. … I’m sorry to tell you, there’s going to be other wars. We will never surrender but there will be other wars.”)
Pat Buchanan replied that McCain never used the word “promise” but simply said there would be more wars, and that from McCain’s point of view, “that is straight talk. … You get John McCain in the White House, and I do believe we will be at war with Iran.” Pat Buchanan said: “There’s no doubt John McCain is going to be a war president. … His whole career is wrapped up in the military, national security. He’s in Putin’s face, he’s threatening the Iranians, we’re going to be in Iraq a hundred years.”)

As the saying goes about “an opinion†— it is like an ass-hole — everyone has one. Unless you can support your opinion with credible references, then you are a mere ranting buzzer, talking BS –being a troll. When it comes to the election of a US President, I admit that I have no credible references to support my “opinion†below.
While trying not to fall into the prey, nor becoming a victim, of being labeled a “conspiracy theoristsâ€, I doubt if the unfolding events are all “innocent and trueâ€, not being the creation of Murdock’s Empire and what they want us to believe through their media presentations, designed to achieve their own aims and interests (e.g. the presence of the US military in middle east to “protect its interestâ€).
I refuse to believe that tonight’s Obama vs. Hillary debate (31 January 2008) was not choreographed by Howard Dean, the Chairman of the Democratic Party. What a civilized and Lovi-Dovi debate, compared to the previous night’s debate between John McCain and Mitt Romney — which must have been choreographed by Mike Duncan, the Chairman of the Republican Party.
Could it be that both Howard Dean and Mike Duncan have already been told by XXX how should their candidates present themselves for getting maximum votes?
Knowing that XXX (= US giants corporations) do not give a hoot as to whether a Democrat or a Republican is in the White House, as long as the outcome is in the Corporations’ best interest, one wonders whether the outcome of the elections are (or have already been) decided by the Choreographer of the choreographers – the XXX

Paul: Secretive elite controls America

Republican presidential hopeful Ron Paul
Presidential candidate Ron Paul says he traces America’s problems to the flawed monetary policy of the wealthy and secretive elite.
During a speech at the University of Washington on Thursday, Paul said the Congress and the Federal Reserve will not be able to stem the recession spurred by the home mortgage meltdown.
“The most important thing you can do is nothing,” said the Texas congressman, who voted against the recent $146 billion economic stimulus package passed by the US House of Representatives.
The 10-term Texas congressman maintained that a series of wrong economic decisions by the Bush administration has led to a recession.
The government should allow the market to correct itself, Paul added.
Although the mainstream media attempts to keep a low profile on the 72-year-old presidential hopeful, he has managed to find a staunch group of supporters who say he has captured their hearts with his ‘message of freedom’ and constitutionalism.
“The Constitution was written for one specific purpose and that was to restrain the government, not to restrain the people,” Paul has said.

Chomsky: US acts like Nazi Germany
Fri, 01 Feb 2008 19:39:24
MIT professor Noam Chomsky
Prominent linguist Noam Chomsky bashes the ‘imperialistic’ foreign policies of the US, likening Washington to the Nazis in Germany.
Chomsky compared US foreign policies to the conduct of Nazis within Germany, citing the Nuremberg trials as an example of the contradictions between US political speech and government-sanctioned actions.
“I think the ironies of United States deployed treacheries in Vietnam, Nicaragua, Iraq, Iran, and North Korea are self-evident,” The Daily Free Press quoted the Pulitzer-Prize winning author as saying at Roxbury Community College.
He also condemned the abusive actions of General David Petraeus and US ambassador to Iraq, Ryan Crocker, against the Iraqi nation.
“Lord Petraeus has initiated tyrannically destructive policies, including, but not limited to, the surge proposed on Sept. 11, 2007 in a despicably theatrical manner before Congress,” exclaimed the MIT professor.
Chomsky also referred to the ill deeds of other US administrations, slamming Ronald Reagan for causing the overthrow of the legally elected Sandinista government in Nicaragua in 1984.
“Reagan was a thug and a coward, he managed to physically diminish a democratically-elected government and throw a nation into civil chaos for well over a decade . . . because the Sandinistas didn’t back US trade policies,” he expounded.

The Testimony of a US ex-marine, who went to fight in Iraq
Jimmy Massey: “I have been a psychopathic murderer”
For nearly 12 years, staff sergeant Jimmy Massey was a hard-hearted US marine. He arrived in Iraq in March 2003 as part of US invasion troops with 45 men under his command; they did not hesitate at killing innocent civilians. Massey attended the most recent Caracas Book Fair, where he presented his book “Cowboys of Hell,” a crude testimony about the genocide being committed every day by the United States against the Iraqi people. The ex-marine gave an interview to Cuban journalist Rosa Mirian Elizalde.
