Democratic establishment unmasked: prime defenders of NSA bulk spying

38. no doubt catherina

but not real surprising

It's all part of the ongoing good cop/bad cop routine we've all beeen victimized by for at least a couple of decades now. I've long wondered (and argued) if the relatively recent foray into madness on the part of rightwinguts in the form of the Pee Party, etc, isn't part of the effort, allowing the good cops to be a little more "bad" without getting the notice and outrage it should warrant.

All the tag team has to do is instill fear and validate it say, with things like the owner of this board has pasted prominently on the top page, and if they manage to preserve what we had, or most of it, they're our saviors again. The good cop role is to simply save what we have with as small erosions as they think the voting public will tolerate, as opposed to advancements towards our collective betterment at the expense of those who have plenty. Even if ACA succeeds, it's not like their corporate masters won't be left holding the bag of money, etc. It's all about taking baby steps of that kind on all fronts (ongoing on the corral and control front in earnest since 9/11 especially, where a reason and cover was given) that keep the levels of complacency and compliance intact to do more than maintain a status quo, and to keep filling the coffers of the 1% and their political power and control over us.

Just imagine the freedom single-payer would provide us little guys.

The big picture tells me that all this NSA stuff is more than tangentially related to their schemes, and a critical element in consolidating and maintaining a plan hatched long ago, either in conjunction with or on the heels of the movement towards the wealth transfer and resulting inequalities we see today.

I suppose all that could make me a "conspiracy" kook... lol

They know that our only hope for salvation is to elect those not interested in playing their game, and that that will be impossible to the extent necessary as long as our choices are dependent on them in varying measure to be competitive in the election process.

Money talks, and "hope and change" walks -- like a cripple.
