And the Star Search Spokesperson Is...

One is tempted to believe, as do most Americans, in a quadrennial opportunity to "make a difference", to "get on the right track", to "turn this country around".

Ain't gonna happen.

Why, you might ask (or you might not give a ---), am I so cynical?  What happened to my faith in the greatest country in the world?

Because that country was stolen, then "paid-for", a long time ago.

Tony Cartalucci, in "The Next US President Will Be...",  (blacklistednews.com) points out that

"George Bush’s cabinet consisted of representatives from FedEx, Boeing, the Council on Foreign Relations, big-oil’s Belfer Center at Harvard, the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), Circuit City, Verizon, Cerberus Capital Management, Goldman Sachs, and the RAND Corporation, among many others.

"Obama’s cabinet likewise features representatives from JP Morgan, Goldman Sachs, the Council on Foreign Relations, Fortune 500 representatives Covington & Burling, Citi Group, Freedie Mac, and defense contractor Honeywell.

"And with Mitt Romney, the likely republican candidate running for president against Obama in 2012, we see already his foreign policy advisers, Michael Chertoff, Eliot Cohen, Paula Dobrainsky, Eric Edelman, and Robert Kagan, represent the exact same people and corporate-funded think-tanks devising strategy under both President Bush and President Obama."

Captions to images in Cartalucci's article refer to "the time of JP Morgan 100 years ago," and "the past 100 years,", but our 21st century "corpolitical" situation was birthed a minimum of 120+ years ago, with conception long before that.

Nonetheless, Cartucci's article is well worth reading, if only for the graphics that illustrate what/who are the puppet masters.  By way of example, defense contractors General Dynamics, General Electric, Raytheon, Honeywell, Lockheed Martin,  Boeing, and Northrup Grumman, are prominently represented (with the latter two twice-listed); banks (and banksters) Goldman Sachs, Bank of America, CITI, and JPMorgan (let's not forget the World Bank, along with Freddie Mac); and, of course, oil companies Atlantic-Richfield, Shell, Chevron, and Exxon-Mobil.

These are among the organizations that actually run this country.
