naïve if you cant recognize this.
The 1% owns almost all of Congress. There are a few that may care about the 99% but they are only a few. The 1% owns the NSA, the FBI, the CIA. Why would you think any different? They are tools to be used, not to protect the 99%, but to keep us under their control.
Its naïve to assume that the NSA is looking out for the 99%. Why would they? The people that run these organizations are either members of the 1% or are on retainer. Why would you think they give a shit about us?
We all want to believe that president Obama with his beautiful family and nice smile, is looking out for us. And in some areas he is doing his best. But in the areas that directly affect the 1%, like the domination of Wall Streets, and the dominance of the intelligence agencies, he is failing. For whatever reason he has continued to use those that were in power under Bush. How can a Democrat knuckle under to those Republicans? Tim Geitner, Lawrence Summers, Ben Bernanke, William M. Daley, Jeff Immelt, Alan Simpson, Dave Cote, Jeb Bush, Robert Gates, Gen Stanley McChrystal, Jacob Lew, Jeremiah Norton, Gen Petraeus, John Brennen, Chuck Hegal, Michael Taylor, James Comey, James R. Clapper, Robert Mueller. All are authoritarian conservative Republicans.
Even though President Obama belongs to the 1% club, we might hope he is looking out for us instead of his own group. But why? Why would he choose us over his friends like Penny Pritzker, the female Mit Romney?
And in 2016 the 1% will make sure that the Democratic candidate is Ms. Clinton. They would prefer Chris Christie for president, of course but would settle for Ms. Clinton. They have the resources to decide on both candidates. You will be allowed to vote but both choices will be theirs.
Unfortunately the progressives not only have to battle the idiot Republicans, but also the conservative Democrats that carry water for the 1%.
