Yes!!..You guys should address Sawzaw's question!!! That way, in the exchange, the truth may come out...even the reasons WHY. There is NO winning an argument or debate, if the truth doesn't come out!!...unless you wish to be as the Greek sophists...all they had to do was out-logic, others in the Senate, and it became law, and true..EVEN IF IT WASN'T!!

SawZaw's info, BTW is being reported, just as he is running it down. I also heard about it.

Now, what does that have to do with "Can we afford Democracy?"

It ALL DOES!!..including the bit on Reagan!...and they are all tied in!!

Don't believe me?
Think back, on all the blasting debates that go on in here....think of the main subjects they revolve around.....
other than 'social issues(?)'.....

(Not in any special order):

1. Financial institutions running am-muck with cart-blanch corrupt scams, upon the American tax payer, and rifling the economy...including the privately owned Federal Reserve, with their IRS sidekick collectors and enforcers.....works through both parties, offering 'deals' to help the 'little guy', (Democrat),while empowering the banksters to government deals (catering to Republicans), opening the gate(Glass-Steagal) to collect on the biggest financial scam in history! (promoted by Republicans, signed into law by Clinton(Democrat)..then closed again)

2. Mega-oil companies/corporations, who seemingly are involved with illegal wars all over the place...including the Cuban 'Bay of Pigs', where the Bush family's ship, was the supply ship,(from Zapata Oil), and Bechtel in the Mid-East Gulf, Schultz was CEO of Bechtel, and so on and so forth....Big pharma is part of that(mostly Republican).

3. The various works of the CIA and black box budgets, doing weird stuff internationally..taxpayer costs beyond belief...and doing stuff, pretty much at will...and of course in secret, including facilitating the 'illegal' drug trade...and arms deals...etc, etc.(Both Democrats and Republicans favor their covert ops, depending who's (Whose party President) is selling the idea...make us proud!

4. Organized crime syndicates, who muscled in on the unions, and bought off politicians, distributed the drugs, and facilitated a LOT of corruption, to get their ways. Mostly drugs and unions(Democrats), 'developments' (Republicans), labor(Dems), transportation infrastructure(Repubs) etc etc.

...and all those events, Vietnam, Iran-Contra, the Iranian hostage release, the mid east, Mexican drug cartels,...oh, might as well mention Afghanistan's opium trade, too, arms sales, corrupted financial dealing around the world, Mid-East oil wars, taxing phony causes, and more, can all be traced back to these primary four....right?

What an ironic coincidence......they, segments of certain organized crime, oilmen, intelligence community, were All implicated in the events, Nov.22,1963, Dallas......within a month of Kennedy issuing a statement of auditing and abolishing the Fed!...and with each of them, with something directly to gain in each group, they put together the coup, took control of our political system, and we've been declining, ever since...and the policies we clamor over, ever since, has been whooped up demand and outcry to have one of these groups programs foisted upon us.....NO MATTER THE COST!


"Can we afford Democracy?"
I'm not sure how it handles....
Can we at least test drive it??
