I'm finally putting the pieces together about this reigning insanity and I don't like what I see.

I think the powers-that-be sit the new President down and enlighten him about how the world really works. The President really has no power. It's these behind-the-scenes neocons/PNACers and corporate overlords who run things. Our elected representatives are just bought-and-paid for Pez dispensers.

Obama has been folded into the fray, and my guess is that the corruption is so entrenched, so deep and so set in stone--that the good people who become a part of it--have to play along. There is no choice.

I still remember during the 2008 primary. Obama handed out his "Blueprint for America." I still have a copy. In his "Blueprint", Obama mentions that he wants to restore Habeas Corpus.

Remember Habeas Corpus? Bush stole it from us. I'm no lawyer, but my understanding is that Habeas forces the government to produce a "body of evidence" against you, in order to charge you for a crime. They can't just round you up because they're suspicious, or because they don't like you. They must produce evidence. Bush took that away, and Obama cared enough about this injustice to include it in his platform.

Ok, Habeas is obscure. It's not an idea that attracts a lot of voters, like healthcare or education reform. But it was important enough for Obama to include it in his plan.

He's not a neocon. He knows that these people are corrupt psychopaths. He's a former Constitutional Law Professor and a community organizer, for Pete's sake. He's not a corporate prick like Romney--raised on greed, corruption and dysfunction.

Obama's blueprint--among other things--is circumstantial evidence that Obama is not one of them. His actions--and his leveraging of the neocon Syria plan--is circumstantial evidence that our President has no real power and is forced to play a role in making their neocon war dream a reality.

I also believe that Obama's demand that Congress vote on Syria was him saying that he's not going to solely carry this sick water. If they want to use him and the Presidency--then others will have to partake as well. I read that before Obama went to Congress to ask for the vote--he deliberated with John Kerry for quite a while. I believe they both know the score. They devised a way to spread the blame, and make it more difficult for war to happen. I really believe that.

Our world is so f'd up. Call your elected representatives daily. Tell them that you don't want this. Protest in your area or join other future protests. It's all we've got--and it is a lot if we participate.
