Choose Your Poison, Then Die, Seriously


As a conservative, I guess, I find myself inclined to vote for Rick Perry, he seems to be advocating all the right things. In 1988 Rick Perry was a democrat, not just any democrat, but one that supported progressive Eco-freak Al Gore. Al Gore, a part of the disgusting anti-America apparatus, hell bent on extinguishing lives to grow gardens, that Al Gore. In 1989 Perry became a republican. How do you go from supporting a progressive lunatic like Al Gore's bid for the Presidency to a republican? Can progressives shift to different sides of the isle? Yes they can.

As a republican Perry also supported Clinton's health care plan, a very progressive endeavor. Then again he also supported tort reform to limit malpractice lawsuits and is an opponent of the income tax, markings of a republican?

Rick Perry doesn't believe in term limits, the problem there can be summed up in three names, Nancy Pelosi, Barney Frank, and the late great Teddy Kennedy. In 2007 Rick Perry signed an executive order to perform forced vaccinations on teenage girls, simply because they were enrolled in government funded schools.

I like some of Romney, Bachmann, and Paul's positions, some. I love Herman Cain (as a guy with ideas) On the other hand President Obama has been an utter failure and he's got to go. I guess at the end of the day, to steal an expression from everyone, all of these candidates carry the symptoms of progressive poisoning. To me, it's very hard to fathom that big business, special interest, and the military complex would ever cede power to anyone outside of the progressive scope.

It's my opinion that since WW2 the elite wealthy ruling class, inspired by the Roosevelt Dictatorship, realized that they could manipulate and control elections from both sides of the isle. With lies, misinformation, murder, and money, rich greedy megalomaniacs discovered that they could pit the most conservative verses the most liberal, but what would it matter, they served the same master.

Since this time hundreds of millions have died, victims of our handlers. By this time America has gone global, the CIA, the KGB, NATO, have been propping dubious maniacal dictators around the globe and is responsible for the death of millions. It's so pathetically clear, The United States put Gaddafi in power, then empowered Islamic fascist to overthrow his regime decades later.

It wasn't that long ago when I stilled believed any given team could be victorious in sports on any given day. However, the first reality to hit me like a boot to the face, was Pro Wrestling, my grandfather always said it was scripted, he was right. Then it was the NBA, I was a big fan, I hardly noticed that teams just did enough to keep to ESPN highlights in business during the regular season. Later I would discover the NBA is operated by big money, advertisers, and criminals, the fix is executed by both the corrupt referees and particular players.

I'm getting off point, American politics are rigged as well, we haven't chosen a President since WW2. And for those of you Ron Paul fanatics, grow up. I don't believe he has many character flaws and yes he's flip flopped a few times, but all and all he's probably a good man. The world Ron Paul lives in just doesn't exist, he should be elected as Treasury Secretary and abolish the fed then abolish the Treasury Secretary. We desperately need to restore our Republic, which means litigation for rogue judges who refuse to abide by the constitution, create term limits for judges, state representatives, and other career politicians.

The American public must reign in our elected officials now; this by drastically reducing their salaries, making it illegal to profit from their service to our government while in office. We must create an atmosphere where becoming a politician is no longer a lottery ticket to power and wealth. Our best leaders were paid meagerly when they served, they often had to leave their families behind and welcomed exiting office. Current American President Barack Obama requires a salary of $400,000 annually, this excludes millions from best selling books, kick backs from special interest groups and Wall Street.

I, like all the other displaced patriots, will vote for Rick Perry, he is the poison I will choose. If and when we finally decide we're not going to allow this charade to continue, we will be subjected to a police state. The progressive machine is too embedded and it's two children will be our only choice. Child one, the democrat, servicing the worker, defender of the elderly, vanguard of the poor, blah blah blah. This is their shtick. The republican, purveyor of the rich, tax abolitionists, tree killers, yada yada yada.

It is a game, until conservatives seize total control of the republican and democrat parties, they will remain a progressive breeding ground. The war isn't between democrats and republicans, the war is between Progressives and Conservatives. Until the American populace realizes this we will continue to choose our poison and die, seriously.

But He's No George Bush......

Reading this article, one would almost think Bush was still at the helm. The main stream media should suppress this discovery at all cost, God forbid Obama supporters realize he is a liar. Our CIA has been doing this for decades, so to me it's no surprise, but to invision President Obama not "bring it to the people" is shocking. The global President? You mean he's as guilty as some of his predecessors?

The Central Intelligence Agency continues to rapidly expand its global extrajudicial assassination program under the Obama administration, secretly murdering people with drones from Pakistan and Afghanistan to Somalia and Yemen. Even American citizens are fair game, according to the President.
The dramatic evolution of the agency’s priorities and operations has become so extreme that a former senior intelligence official told the Washington Post the CIA had been turned into “one hell of a killing machine.” The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the paramilitary transformation was “nothing short of a wonderment.”

But the dramatic metamorphosis, detailed in a recent exposé by the Post, entitled “CIA shifts focus to killing targets,” is hardly without critics. Some experts have even warned Congress that the illegal killings may constitute war crimes.

Thousands of suspected “militants” and civilians have been executed in drone strikes so far. At least 168 children were killed by such attacks just in Pakistan over a seven year period, according to a study released last month by the London-based Bureau of Investigative Journalism. The real figure is probably even higher.

But few of the targeted suspects, if any, were formally charged with committing a crime before being blown apart — often with their entire families. Even fewer had been convicted in a court of law.

And though American authorities publicly claim the assassination programs only target high-level terror suspects, the former intelligence official cited by the Post said that is not necessarily the case. “It wasn’t always high-value targets,” he said, speaking about the intended victims of the agency’s teams on the ground. “They were trying to pursue and kill sometimes lower-hanging fruit.”

Along with its death squads, the CIA has also reportedly recruited a vast network of spies in the nations where its Predator drones are dropping bombs. The agency’s “Special Activities Division” even trains and operates own proxy militias in countries such as Afghanistan, which are apparently responsible for much of the dirty work.

According to experts, the ongoing changes in the CIA’s focus and operations have led to boundaries between the agency, the military, and U.S. war contractors becoming increasingly blurred. Even Congress is often kept out of the loop under the guise of “national security.”

But critics charge that the agency’s expanding role as an independent war-making apparatus should be cause for concern. “We’re seeing the CIA turn into more of a paramilitary organization without the oversight and accountability that we traditionally expect of the military,” National Security Project director Hina Shamsi with the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) told the Post.

The myriad assassination programs are particularly troubling to critics. In the U.S. Congress, for example, representatives on both sides of the aisle have blasted the “illegal” murders.

“Think of the use of drone air strikes as summary executions, extra-judicial killings justified by faceless bureaucrats using who-knows-what ‘intelligence,’ with no oversight whatsoever and you get the idea that we have slipped into spooky new world where joystick gods manipulating robots deal death from the skies,” noted Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio) in an editorial.

And it isn’t just foreigners who can be executed at any time. Last year it was revealed that the CIA — with the support of the Obama administration — maintained an assassination list that included dozens of Americans. The agency has knowingly murdered at least one American citizen in Yemen with a drone strike, and others are still in the cross hairs.

Congressman and Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul was among the critics who noted that murdering people without trials violates the law. “Now we are told that assassination of foreigners as well as American citizens is legitimate and necessary to provide security for our people. It is my firm opinion that nothing could be further from the truth,” he said during a speech on the House floor. “Secret arrests, secret renditions, torture and assassinations are illegal under both domestic and international law.”

Around the world, the uproar has been even more significant. In Pakistan, where hundreds of drone strikes in recent years have resulted in countless civilians deaths, outrage over the CIA’s aerial killing spree has sparked waves of massive protests.

Human rights organizations have also sounded the alarm. And at the United Nations, senior investigators have repeatedly claimed the U.S. government was openly flaunting the law.

"In a situation in which there is no disclosure of who has been killed, for what reason, and whether innocent civilians have died, the legal principle of international accountability is, by definition, comprehensively violated," noted then-UN extrajudicial killings investigator Philip Alston, who authored a 2010 report charging that the Obama administration may be committing war crimes.

The CIA said its murder programs are used less frequently than other tactics such as arrests. But under the Obama administration, the use of drones and assassinations has surged to unprecedented heights — far beyond what occurred under Bush. The operations, however, rarely attract media scrutiny.

As The New American reported in June, increasing amounts of American bombs have been raining down on Yemen. And according to the Post’s recent article, the CIA is actually building a runway and expanded facilities for its drones — presumably because the assassination programs in that country are set to balloon.

The U.S. government’s secret war in Yemen, which used blatant lies exposed in diplomatic cables to attack targets and prop up the ruling dictatorship, has also been criticized for widespread civilian casualties. One of the American citizens targeted for assassination by the CIA is believed to be somewhere in Yemen.

And in Libya, recently leaked documents reveal that the CIA was helping Gaddafi fight the same terrorists currently being armed, trained, and financed by the Obama administration and NATO. In a sudden unexplained shift, however, the agency has since then been helping the al-Qaeda-linked rebels overthrow the regime.

Closer to America the CIA’s shadowy operations are under scrutiny, too. As The New American reported last month, the agency was almost certainly involved in the growing scandal surrounding the federal government’s “Operation Fast and Furious” that armed Mexican drug cartels. Reports also suggest that the agency’s decades-old involvement in drug trafficking continues.

Even more recently the CIA was exposed collaborating with the New York Police Department to spy on Americans. The revelations led to particularly fierce criticism because the CIA is not supposed to be engaged in domestic espionage or law enforcement operations.

While the increased scrutiny of the spy agency and its deadly operations has led to more criticism, very few policy makers have proposed solutions. Rep. Ron Paul, like former President John F. Kennedy, suggested abolishing the CIA entirely. But for now that possibility appears remote
