Richard – agree largely with what you say about the test cases – fits with what i know about ‘money’ the Fed and the Bank of England stories – and how since the beginning of the 1900’s have gradually dominated world finance – and who controls money — as we know from Kissinger – controls the world.

As I write – CNN is blaring out the American ‘election’ (sic) results, intermediary or final — it doesn’t really matter. Every four years the world is going through this circus – and what’s most amazing to me, is that people still believe in it – still hope for a better America – for a more just president, as if a president had anything to say – and wouldn’t be at the mercy, handcuffed to the powers of finance and the military industrial/security complex – they go hand in hand.

     It is a sad-sad state of affairs. Indeed – a downward spiral. – And a bunch o sheeple are supporting it.

About Naomi Wolf’s video – and Amy Goodman —- Naomi Wolf’s book and video date back to the Bush era (2007) – and has since been largely surpassed by events – by Obama doings, the total abolition of US civil rights, the ‘drone state’ – killing as a computer game and joking about it (yes, Obama made jokes about his drone power and those who better be careful).

What Naomi says in 2007 is of course right – but seen today it’s almost an understatement.

As to Amy Goodman – she is the typical spokeswomen for the system – the system needs someone like her, who is critical, attracts the intellectuals and gradually converts them into working and talking unwittingly for the elite. I have noticed this some three or four years ago, when I still was living in the Washington area, and ‘Democracy Now’ and the station that broadcast it, was my default radio station. –

I was also a great fan of Noam Chomsky, until I realized that he falls in Amy’s group – an excellent critique for the establishment. The system-establishment needs people who criticize them – thus, enhancing their credibility – but not the core of the system, not the basic premises on which it is based, the lies — one of the basic premises is the lie about 9/11. I have never ever heard anything questioning saying or doubting about the veracity of the official story of 9/11 either by Goodman or Chomsky — Every critique follows as if 9/11 was the truth – or as if ‘too big to fail’ was the ‘only’ way – i.e. not letting these banks die, but rescuing them was a must. The only question was ‘how much’ – and there of course, one was allowed to be critical – but not on the basic premise – not world renown thinkers like Chomsky — or Stieglitz for that matter – who also fits perfectly the pattern for the ‘perfect critique’ for the elite.

If they weren’t given some strict rules – these intellectual critics – as to what they have to adhere to, they would have been shut up a long time ago.

cheers,

Hi Susie,

Like everywhere else, people are confused by state propaganda. Rather than giving a balanced view of the referendum, as the constitution requires, the government uses its full powers to sell the referendum.
