A truly FRIGHTENING post on DU today...."10 things to know about Snowden".

245. Don't feel bad, if it had not been for another DUer here I might have assumed the same thing,

although I am always skeptical about anything that comes from Rupert Murdoch's rags.

She was far more informed about what was going on in Europe at the time, and when I started to do some research, saw some of his speeches on the poor, on the IMF's policies etc, I couldn't believe it. I confess that when I saw 'IMF Chief etc etc, not being fond of that organization, I didn't look much further, and would not have probably, if she had not asked me to. I'm so glad she did. That is one of the more fascinating and probably important stories of the past decade and here, we are so isolated from the world here, it was presented as nothing more important than a cheap tabloid story.

Notice how it ended abruptly when they replaced him with someone more in cync with the neo-liberals? It was over in a flash. I discovered some interesting facts too while researching the story. French connections between our illustrious NYPD chief, good friends we found out, with the neocon French President at the time. And much more. It was eye-opening. Like some kind of epic novel. We discovered also that DSK has a brother here in the US very close to the Dems. Someday someone might make a movie of the whole thing. The US and its media will not look very good if they do. Nor will the IMF, Wall St and the rest of the 'rulers of the world'. But that's a long way off, sadly.
