New NSA docs contradict 9/11 claims

155. I'm sorry, but I just don't believe that...

I hear what you are saying. However, I think that our government has been completely taken over by corporatists in both parties and the neocons. They're all running it. I think the President is inconsequential. Yes, he is our figurehead and he does have some power. However, I truly think that the elitists/corporatists/neocons/warmongers have commandeered our government. The President only has so much power.

I think these elites also act on their on in our Justice Department, CIA, NSA and other government agencies.

I will never forget what happened during the BP oil spill. BP was using our Coast Guard (and they were armed) to keep reporters from shooting pictures of oiled wildlife. They were blocking access. I saw the video and pictures as did many others. This was not sanctioned by Obama. Somehow BP was able to use their power to use our government Coast Guard. Furthermore, our EPA specifically told BP to stop using Corexit. BP flat out ignored that order. Without repercussions.

Folks, something has happened in this country. We often get glimpses of the reality, like what happened with BP. People from powerful corporations and banks--and all bought-and-paid-for politicians have taken over our government. They control it all. We are not in charge. The President is not as powerful as these people.

I think that's why the Republicans nominate these dolts to be their party nominees. They need idiots who don't give a rip and are too dumb to do anything about it. Bush Jr was a complete shithead that they could manipulate, control and send on month-long vacations so they could pull off their crimes. Now, they want someone just as dumb--Romney, in the hotseat.

I do think that Obama is able to fend off some of their shenanigans. It's better with a Dem than it is with one of their lemming henchmen in the White House, but really--they are like the mafia, calling the shots and running the show like psychopaths.

I really feel that this is what it's come down to. All you have to do is look at the current state of so many things in this country. Corporations have their way--even if it kills us, harms us, makes us sick, steals our money or destroys our democracy. Big Pharma gets to poison us and kill us, Big Ag gets to serve us unhealthy food that makes us sick, health-insurance companies get to decide when we die and are treated (based on what makes them the most money!), banks get to implode our country and steal our homes while getting billions in bailouts. The list goes on and on and on.

All of this...is no accident. Corporations paid for this abusive power. It's just sick.
