Finding the Limits of U.S. Power

Sometimes I find myself missing the cold war. The well drawn lines of "us" and "them" made it clear who was responsible. The simplicity was comforting even when facing utter destruction from the other side. But, today is today as we look to our leaders to figure out how to keep rogue nations from uncorking the "genie in the bottle" that is nuclear weaponry.

... The propaganda obscuring the Bomb scenario kept me from seeing that the real war against America was not nuclear in scope, but psychological. The real war was one of deception by the Soviets and by our own leaders who in reality opened the door to America's external enemies and were protecting America's internal enemies.

This is how they control the people daily. They solve the basic problems of food, clothing & shelter by providing you with jobs. Every two weeks they pay you in debt notes & within ten days you have given it all back. You don't even know it's not real money & that the nations are all under bankruptcy & everything is prepaid. You are so conditioned you can't believe it, you deny it & you continue to go along with the corporate central bank tax scam. That leaves you free to solve more pressing problems like cash or charge, wine or beer, window or aisle, smoking or non, Oprah or American Idol Worship. You work all day in a corporate sweat shop. You pay taxes to the corporation of [your country name] then you watch Corporate news scare you to death with terror, murder, rape & corruption. You watch some sitcom Friends lie & cheat on each other for a laugh then you finish off the evening by witnessing some Criminal Minds plot & commit murder
