26 Jan 2008 @ 19:10 by Sean M. Madden @89.242.1.240 : Author's Comment 26 Jan 2008 @ 19:27 by vaxen : Well... at least some of you are, maybe, beginning to wake up just a little. Though, in all honesty, I seriously doubt it. The saying goes be, DO, have. I'm not exactly suggesting that you attack those tanks with molotov cocktails but in order to extricate yourself from the propaganda, weaponized, that is turning your apathy into indignancy you're gonna have to do a helluva lot more than rant. Global warming, Global freezing, UFO's, agenda 21, Operation Mannequin, harlots palace and Wolfowitz back on the State Departments' payroll, thankyou Rice Krispy, all add up to the proverbial hill of beans which broke the elephants back. Maybe you should read "War of the Worlds," again, and maybe even the now terribly outclassed by reality bytes, yet still relevant "1984." A little "Brave New World" should reboot your socialist leanings to a more Malthusian crust and the dish runs away with the spoon. For good measure you might want to see what good old 'Facebook' is doing nowadays for Big Brother Inc., [link] And studying, deeply, Asymmetrical Financial Warfare (Or asymmetrical warfare period!) as well as a salt and peppering of G4W might get you closer to a par with the infotainmentmilitarypsyops complex controlling your dream space which is also a part of 'Whole Spectrum Dominance.' FCS's as concocted by Boeing for the 'army' are really far out there but... The 'Army (of one?)' wants linux to be the backbone of their new FCS whilst Boeing wants their own kludged crudola so there is yet still time till timesfuture is uncompressed and unleased upon an unsuspecting, head in the sands (Ostrich phenomena), world of co-opted debt slaves. Guns won't do you much good against weaponized scaler interferometers (words wont either). Oh, and Asteroid 2007TU24 is very close promising, in the words of Khabibullo Abdusamatov of Pulkovo Observatory in St. Petersburg, a new Global freeze as it tilts the earths electromagnetic poles towards Canada. Oh, but you still believe Al Gore? ;) Good luck! PS: Did you catch the pic of David with Benjamin Fulford in Tokyo? Maybe the Yakuza told him of the impending death of the NWO financial empire? Incidentally they, the yakuza, have portable scalar weapons, enhanced, that should give us some food for thought. Sold to them by the Russians who, according to [link] Colonel Tom Bearden have been controlling USA's weather for years! Lots of Black Ops military budgets sucking the people dry yet none can even begin to compare to the sleepers, and their weapons, already here in the land that time forgot. Now back to your facebooks children. A little Karma poke anyone? Is that paunch on Davies bodyguard a bullet proof vest? If we wanted to get rid of good old Rockie it would be easy as throwing pie in his bodyguards face. Looks like he has been eating a lot of it anyway. Maybe it's a beer belly? Psyops 101... Perception Control allows for distorion. [link] Economics Journalist Robert Kuttner on the "Most Serious Financial Crisis Since the Great Depression": "This is the Result of Rightwing Ideology and the Political Power of Wall Street" Is it? Or is it the result of a one-world ideology [link] shared amongst the elite of the so-called Right, the so-called Left, and not just Wall Street but an internationalist cabal of financiers, industrialists and in-pocket politicians who game everything from world financial markets to governments to the media, left, right and center? Conspiracy-deniers, read on and follow the links provided herein to refer to David Rockefeller's own admissions of just such a one-world internationalist cabal. Franklin Delano Roosevelt vs. the Banks: Morgan's Fascist Plot, and How It Was Defeated. Oh, it was defeated? Sure, sure, Mr. Puffingame.

I imagine the bodyguard didn't have much to do, since local gendarmes supplied by taxpayers like you and me always protect the dignitaries at these gatherings. Get one of Prison Planet's free videos, Vax, to watch everyone kept at Bush-type distance from the limos and their contents. Of course no reporters allowed either: trade secrets. It's astonishing to me that Mr. Madden himself found this piece within 8 hours of post. Google is on the job! He refers to a comment he wrote at the original article, which I'll gladly reproduce here~~~ Sean M. Madden said... Thank you, Bruce and Daniel, for your comments, and to those of you who have written to me via email. Bruce, your points are well taken. I agree that Amy has done much to wake people up to U.S. imperialism, for instance. That's good. But to the extent that her coverage is aimed at the symptoms rather than the roots of the problems, the larger impact, I think, is to forge another layer of protection between the people and those individuals and institutions who have an outsized influence on our lives. Also, perpetual symptomatic reporting causes many to feel angry, powerless and despairing. With regard to your initial point, readers cannot know whether I, myself, am pedaling yet another layer of obfuscation, further splintering the left. (An important aside: I don't consider myself to be on the left or right, a progressive or a conservative. Rather, I see this dichotomous language, itself, as being dangerously divisive and is exploited as such. I realize, however, that many of Amy's fans do consider themselves to be progressives and that DN! is a progressive program.) That is why it is critical that we take a proactive stance and seek out information for ourselves. Otherwise, we are wholly dependent upon our faith in trusted persons or media outlets to furnish information which is crucial to achieving and maintaining any semblance of democracy. Interestingly, I have often wondered whether Daniel's voluminous criticism on various progressive message boards (e.g., Media Lens) is just that, an attempt by someone who seems to have an abundance of time on his hands to argue for argument's sake, or perhaps to splinter discussions. Readers should know that Daniel and I have shared much correspondence on the topics of politics, media analysis, conspiracy theories, etc. We, ultimately, reached an impasse. Daniel is a former New York Times and Reuters foreign correspondent who is presently working for an investment management firm in London. Readers may find this relevant given David Rockefeller's statement included within my letter in which he thanks the New York Times and other such media outlets for their decades-long cooperation with the cabal's objectives. Also given Rockefeller's explicit statement that "[t]he supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national auto-determination practiced in past centuries." But, of course, no conspirators have total control of a situation. I would have thought this would go without saying. However, individuals do strategize toward common objectives, oftentimes in secrecy or without disclosure. This occurs in every government administration and within at least every publicly traded corporation. In other words, conspiracies happen despite the fact that we've all been well-conditioned to not utter the word or anything which would suggest that they exist, to say nothing of being widespread. What, after all, do intelligence agencies do if not conspire, extralegally and in secret? But, ultimately, this seems a silly subject to debate. David Rockefeller herein admits to the charges. Furthermore, and more generally, to think conspiracies don't happen would be to suggest that we're all floating within a world of happenstance. Human agency exists. Are we to believe that nations, wars, laws, financial markets, mandates and directives simply emanate without purpose from government and corporate offices, for instance? Also, Daniel, I don't think that the cabal has achieved (or will ever achieve) total, puppet-like, control. Is the achievement of absolute, total control the point at which we can say that a conspiracy has occurred? Rockefeller, in thanking servile journalists, has admitted to the cabal's achieving at least some measure of success thus far. It is also interesting to consider that he finally feels it safe (or perhaps expedient), after decades of public disavowals, to state the obvious in his memoir. Nor do I think the cabal's influence is limited to, say, an annual Bilderberg meeting. As reported in a January 2000 Forbes article about David Rockefeller's rolodex, "Rockefeller spends less than half the year at his home in New York City. The rest of the time he's traveling, either for Chase or such groups as the Council on Foreign Relations, the Trilateral Commission or Rockefeller University." Why would we assume that the influence of some of the world's most powerful individuals would only rise up at an annual meeting? Daniel, as I have shared with you (via in-person conversations and extended email discussions) quite a lot concerning my personal philosophy and my meditation practice (in which you have also received third-party training), you should know that I see the world as being infinitely complex and interdependent. That is, that all phenomena, in Buddhist terminology, co-originate, or mutually condition one another. So let us not assume for argument's sake -- particularly in our case whereby we have shared so much and so much more refined argumentation -- overly simplistic and tired points of contention, or to rerun the whole gamut of our one-to-one discussion thread from Step One. Life's too short. To preclude the necessity of having to state more of the obvious, no, I don't believe Amy Goodman nor David Rockefeller are evil incarnate, nor that we can drive all blames into one, toward them as individuals. The world and its goings-on are complex and multifaceted. That is not to say, however, that some individuals do not have far greater means than most to influence the thoughts and actions of others. Few would deny David Rockefeller's outsized power and proven propensity to influence individuals or society as a whole towards his publicly stated aims. And Amy certainly isn't without considerable voice and influence. The one-hour Democracy Now! program is broadcast on over 650 television and radio stations, five days a week. Her nationally syndicated column and her bestselling book give her further reach into the public consciousness. As public figures who seek to influence, they are open, as am I, to criticism. I harbor nothing personal against Amy Goodman or David Rockefeller. I like Amy as a person, and I think would get on quite well with her. Rather, I think it important that their work be held up for scrutiny, a naturally democratic process which it is obvious from David's statement contained in my letter he sees as a process in opposition to the internationalists’ aims. Speaking of which, readers may find this article on David Rockefeller, part of a larger piece on "Rockefeller Internationalism", to be of interest.

Give me back my broken night My secret room, my secret life Its lonely here Theres no one left to torture Give me absolute control Over every living soul And lie beside me, baby Thats an order! Give me crack and anal sex Take the only tree thats left And stuff it up the hole In your culture Give back the berlin wall Give me stalin and st. paul Ive seen the future, brother It is murder Chorus Things are going to slide in all directions Wont be nothing Nothing you can measure anymore The blizzard of the world Has crossed the threshold And it has overturned The order of the soul When they said repent I wonder what they meant When they said repent I wonder what they meant When they said repent I wonder what they meant You dont know me from the wind You never will, you never did Im the little jew Who wrote the bible Ive seen nations rise and fall Ive heard their stories, heard them all But loves the only engine of survival Your servant here, he has been told To say it clear, to say it cold Its over, it aint going Any further And now the wheels of heaven stop You feel the devils riding crop Get ready for the future It is murder Chorus Therell be the breaking of the ancient Western code Your private life will suddenly explode Therell be phantoms Therell be fires in the road And the white man dancing Youll see the woman Hanging upside down Her features covered by her fallen gown And all the lousy little poets Coming round Trying to sound like charlie manson Give me back the berlin wall Give me stalin and st. paul Give me christ Or give me hiroshima Destroy another fetus now We dont like children anyhow Ive seen the future, baby It is murder [link] The UN has officially announced what the fearmongering about man-made global warming has been designed to justify all along - a global carbon tax which will do nothing to reduce carbon emissions but everything to feed the trough of world government. Over one hundred prominent scientists signed a letter dismissing the move as a futile bureaucratic scheme which will diminish prosperity and increase human suffering. [link] For example, Gore claims that Himalayan glaciers are shrinking and global warming is to blame. Yet the September 2006 issue of the American Meteorological Society's Journal of Climate reported, "Glaciers are growing in the Himalayan Mountains, confounding global warming alarmists who recently claimed the glaciers were shrinking and that global warming was to blame."

WTG! 26 Jan 2008 @ 21:07 by a-d : Uuuuhhh,Jazzo, THANKS for that Mindful Living Guide link!!! " by Carla Royal Wherever I am, the world comes after me. It offers me its busyness. It does not believe that I do not want it. Now I understand why the old poets of China went so far and high into the mountains, then crept into the pale mist." to ALL who stumbles upon this article of Richard's: READ (and really absorb) the whole Mindful Page! you will NOT need to regret it! You can drop a lot of reading IF you read that one!Soooooo much to UN-learn...and sooo little time!...... 27 Jan 2008 @ 10:46 by jazzolog : Once In Love With Amy Thanks a-d. I'm sure if Mr. Madden stops by again he'll be pleased with your remark about his spiritual site. For Vax and others, the specific DVD to get by Alex Jones over at PrisonPlanet.tv is called End Game: Blueprint For Global Enslavement. Whether or not you believe the theory that Bilderberg is out to destroy 80% of Earth's population, there is great footage of attempts to access the last 2 "conferences," in Ottawa 2006, and Istanbul 2007. [link] One response I was certain I'd get here in Athens, was from my friend Bob Sheak. Professor Emeritus at OU of both sociology and anthropology, he's been the most vocal member of a group trying to convince the local "public" station here, WOUB, to carry Democracy Now! Bob wrote a column recently that got in all our papers, describing the value of the program and the frustration of trying to convince "your station" (at fundraising festival time anyway) to do anything. The station replied that Sheak, the advocacy group, and the show itself did not represent the political views of the majority in the listening area. Here's Bob's reply to the Madden open letter~~~ Has Democracy Now not reported on important issues that exemplify the lack of and diminution of democracy, the inequities, the environmental devastation, the harmful and counterproductive effects of our militarized foreign policy, and more? I think it has, though there are limits to what a one-hour program can accomplish. Or, worse, has Democracy Now, reported in stories in ways that support the status quo and the existing power structure? I don’t think so. Does her program focus only on symptoms rather that “fundamentals.” The answer to this question depends on whether one thinks that only Madden’s theory of the global system is valid. Democracy Now does not have an overriding systematized theory of it all. Is she a part of the very system she claims to oppose? Hardly. Sean M. Madden is probably right that Democracy Now has not advanced the theory through its programs that there is a one-world international cabal, organized around the Council of Foreign Relations, Trilateral Commission, and Bilderberg group. My initial response to his view is that it is simplistic. I have not yet gone back to systematically review Democracy Now’s programs on how “power” is discussed and depicted. Generally, however, the program, in bits and pieces, presents a critique of concentrated government and economic power and how it conflicts with the interests of the majority of people in the U.S. and around the world, and ecological sustainability. It is a program that is sympathetic to new deal solutions, social democratic solutions, and socialist solutions as they appear incipiently in countries like Venezuela. The program devotes many of its featured stories, and headlines, to how capitalist power has a devastating impact on people and community and habitats, and also offers examples of how that power is challenged, though often not successfully. My impression is that the thrust of the stories dealing with the influence of U.S. corporations is that they are the leading forces in a globalized capitalist system that systematically attempts to exploit resources and markets wherever it can, especially in third world countries. U.S. foreign policy is not only influenced by corporate interests, but they are the major factor. These interests are extended into domination over the government through a plutocratic electoral system, huge campaign contributions, massive lobbying, privatization, deregulation, and more. Their interests extend internationally, for example, through their domination of the IMF, World Bank, WTO, corporate-sympathetic U.S. economic and military aid programs, US insurance for foreign investments, the promotion of sales of military weapons, the threat and use of military interventions, and whatever else they can do to prop up sympathetic governments. Amy does have liberal and progressive analysts on as guests to offer their views on the economic roots of US economic problems e.g., Paul Krugman, Robert Kuttner, but the views of her guests cover a wide part of the leftist wings of the ideological spectrum. Naomi Klein has periodically appeared on Democracy Now and, through her book The Shock Doctrine, has identified, with extensive documentation, how corporations, in collusion with governments, have been able to extend their control of resources in the aftermath of various kinds of disasters. One of the program’s regular guests, Jeremy Scahill, is probably the most informed researcher about the growing privatization of the military and how corporations like Blackwater profit from government contracts with little transparency and no accountability. Other recent guests reveal important aspects of this capitalist system, and criticisms of and/or resistance to it, domestic and international. Here’s a random selection of examples, including: Michael Klare (blood and oil); Vandana Shiva (the outsourcing of pollution to the Third World); Trita Parsi (the secret dealings of Israel,Iran, and the US); Dahr Jamial (an unembedded journalist in Iraq); Nir Rosen (how US invasion of Iraq had led to ethnic cleansing, worsening of refugee crisis, and destablization of Middle East), John Perkins (on Economic Hit Men in the American Empire), John Pilger (on struggles for freedom in Israel-Palestine, Diego Garcia, Latin America, and South Africa; and on vulture capitalists), Michael Moore (on “sicko”) , Seymour Hersh (e.g., on how Rumsfeld misled Congress over Abu Graib, etc.; US intensifying plans to attack Iran), critics of media system and FCC (Eric Klinenberg, Norman Solomon); the CIA’s use of psychologists in torture; the unreported health hazards associated with collapse of the Twin Towers in NYC); CIA reports on years of Assassination plots, coerced drug tests, and domestic spying, coverage of the US Social Forum (another world is possible); Falen Abood Umara (general secretary of the Federation of Oil Unions and a founding member of the oil workers union in Iraq); Ralph Nader (on the candidates, corporate power); veterans and whistleblowers against the war; Randall Robinson (the unbroken agony of Haiti); women dissidents from Afghanistan; Poet Martin Espada (on the ongoing struggle for Puerto Rico’s national rights); John McQuaid (two years after Katrina, cleanup and recovery far from complete); Malik Rahim (on Katrina: hurricane of racism, greed and corruption); Akiva Eldar (on nuclear weapons in Middle East, Iran, military influence in Israel, and Israel lobby in US); Greg Grandin (the life and legacy of “Che” Guevara); Tariq Ali (Pakistani author, analyzes turmoil in Pakistan and region); Charlie Savage (subversion of American democracy); Craig Unger (untold story of how a band of true believers seized the executive branch, started the Iraq war, and still imperil America’s future); Noam Chomsky (path to Mideast peace lies in popular organizing against US-Israeli “rejectionism”); Naomi Wolf (US is on a road to becoming a fascist society); James Petras (analyzes opposition to the proposed overhauls in Venezuela constitution); various guests on Iran, questioning US government’s policy assumptions and actions. On the environment: Chris Moony (about how global warming related to the frequency and ferocity of global warming); George Monbiot (reaction to Al Gore’s Nobel Prize speech; excerpts from Gore’s speech); Tim Flannery (on global warming and the worsening dangers of climate change; on climate change and how to save the planet); debate: Annie Petsonik versus Daphne Wysham (on carbon trading). Democracy Now has done an excellent job in reporting on and having guests who analyze many aspects of the plight of African-Americans in more depth and/or from different perspectives than one finds on the mainstream media. The coverage of the Jena 6 comes to mind. On Iraq, Democracy Now was been consistently opposed to a war in Iraq in the years before the actual invasion and then a critic of the war since then. She has devoted programs to such dissident voices as those of independent journalists who have spent considerable time in Iraq like Jeremy Scahill, Dahr Jamail, Nir Rosen, and, recently, broadcast the on-the-ground filming by Rick Rowley documentation of the ethnic cleansing of Shia from Anbar Province…. Is Democracy Now different? I think, overall, its thrust is different in its coverage and guests than the mainstream media. It does represent an independent and critical source of information on power structures and their effects, and gives voice to many of those who oppose such arrangements. That’s not bad. Bob 27 Jan 2008 @ 15:02 by jerryvest : Thanks, Richard...Like others, I especially enjoyed the "mindfulliving guide". I had not heard Matthew Ricard speak about meditation though I have read some of the studies re; the benefits of meditation. I am currently teaching a meditation class with the soldiers returning from Iraq and Afghanistan who have sustained serious injuries of body, mind and spirit. I am hopeful that this discussion can be helpful to many who are looking for inner peace, confidence and fulfillment in their lives. I really appreciate your resourcefulness and your contributions to our work with those we serve. Jerry 27 Jan 2008 @ 16:20 by vaxen : Liberty or?

Al Gore's "An Inconvenient Truth" fits exactly into the Malthusian mold. The current, hopefully short, dearth of sun spots might cause people to recognize Maurice Strong's and Al Gore's lies. Maurice Strong has been behind the Rio and the Kyoto Agreements too. Strong's paradigm is Malthusian. [link] Democracy Now! - Audio and Transcript Independent journalist Allan Nairn and American Conservative correspondent Kelley Beaucar Vlahos discuss a little-addressed facet of the 2008 campaign: many of the top advisers to leading presidential candidates are ex-U.S. officials involved in atrocities around the world. Advisers to Hillary Rodham Clinton include many former top officials in President Clinton’s administration: former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, former National Security Adviser Samuel Berger, former UN Ambassador Richard Holbrooke. Senator Barack Obama’s list includes President Carter’s National Security Adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski, former counterterrorism czar Richard Clarke, former Middle East negotiator Dennis Ross. Rudolph Giuliani’s advisers include Norman Podhoretz, one of the fathers of the neoconservative movement. John McCain’s list of official and formal policy advisers includes former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, General Colin Powell, William Kristol of The Weekly Standard, and former CIA Director James Woolsey. One of Mitt Romney’s top advisers is Cofer Black, the former CIA official who now serves as vice chair of Blackwater Worldwide. Vice President Dick Cheney’s daughter Elizabeth is advising Fred Thompson. As for Mike Huckabee, it’s not clear. In December, Huckabee listed former UN Ambassador John Bolton as someone with whom he either has “spoken or will continue to speak,” but Bolton then revealed the two had never spoken. Huckabee also named Richard Allen, but the former National Security Adviser also admitted he had never spoken to Huckabee.

The story had been brought to his attention by his Russian-speaking son and had fortunately been saved in its original form before it was sanitized of several key sentences". The original unsanitized version curiously began: "Yesterday at the headquarters of Central Intelligence Service in Langley a confidential meeting between one of the Deputy Directors of CIA and a special messenger of Russian Intelligence Service took place. According to NewsRu sources he delivered to his American colleagues some documents including audio tapes with telephone conversations directly relating to terrorist attacks on Washington and New York last Tuesday. According to these sources, Russian Intelligence agents know the organizers and executors of these terrorist attacks. More than that, Moscow warned Washington about preparation to these actions a couple of weeks before they happened."

Purple is often associated with mystery, wisdom, and the spiritual.

It sure is brilliant to have that headline about right wing ideology causing financial crisis inspire this idea of Democracy Now being about supporting Democrats. What a thinker! For all of Democracy Now's great work they should have this rubbish thrown at them? 31 Jan 2008 @ 21:29 by vaxen : Hmmm... interestingly enough this damned country was founded NOT as a Democracy (A form or style of Government in it's own rite/right.) but as a Republic! Of course the "Democracy," often touted as the American Democracy, referenced is the legislative one in Washington, District of Criminals, otherwise known as the 'UNITED STATES' which is a Corporation! Over the years the traitors have tried to erase the fact that this 'Nation' was founded as a 'Republic!' Know the difference between a Republic and a Democracy? And, sorry, there is NO SUCH THING as a Democratic Republic! Hip, hip! Got your Fasces ready? However, the Res Publica still lives even though the filters are in place thanks to mass media mind control that force the idea of 'democracy (Actually a Fascist Oligarchy)' into peoples mind sets and which the edutainmentedly 'dumbed down (Well "Pavloved") sheeple' are coerced into believing is freedom. Looking at the smirking triumvirate of Bush, Cheney, and what's her name, the other night during the so called Presidents' final "State of the Union" address made me want to...forget it. Which I did by simply turning the damned mind control box off! Freedom? Liberty? The UNITED STATES is, and has been for a very long time, BANKRUPT! Maybe you should look into Ambassador Wantas' story? 25.7 Trillion dollars being misused by the thieves who really are controlling it for speculations sake yet Wanta was given control of it, after all it belongs to the American Sheeple, as a sacred trust for the people. But the Washington Lawyers and Attorneys long ago took over the 'We The People' ruberick and copyrighted it as a Corporation so...guess what America? Democracy? Bullshit! Democracy now? Ha! 4 Feb 2008 @ 11:05 by jazzolog : Soup For Tuesday Yeah, Super Tuesday on the horizon...and the papers are full of analysis especially about the Dems. Frank Rich, Maureen Dowd slapping both candidates around. Krugman leaning toward Clinton's health plan. Ambassador Crocker last Friday promising a good long troop inhabitation of Iraq [link] , which plans seem to interest neither Dem. But along the same lines of importance was Kathleen Hall Jamieson's remarks on Moyers that evening about the SOTU speech. Read this~~~ KATHLEEN HALL JAMIESON: The big news of the week was that the President of the United States with substantial power at his disposal, and in a presidency that has asserted an unprecedented level of authority for Commander in Chief suggested that there may be eventually a protective over watch mission. PRESIDENT BUSH: American troops are shifting from leading operations to partnering with Iraqi forces and eventually to a protective over watch mission. KATHLEEN HALL JAMIESON: What is a protective over watch mission? And is this President going to commit the nation and try to commit his successors to a more permanent role in Iraq than the Democrats would like? What are the consequences of that? What does it mean? Euphemisms are worrisome. Protective over watch mission doesn't translate well into some clear conception of what we're going to do and what the commitment behind it entails. The second thing that I thought we ought to look at very carefully. "Tehran is also developing ballistic missiles." PRESIDENT BUSH: Tehran is also developing ballistic missiles of increasing range and continues to develop its capacity to enrich uranium which could be used to develop a nuclear weapon. KATHLEEN HALL JAMIESON: Important words in the context of the case that was made for intervention in Iraq. Why should we pay attention to these things? Presidential words matter. Presidential power is real. And in times of war, a President's capacity to act is much less constrained than it is in other environments. BILL MOYERS: What's the relevance of this to the people listening? What should they take away from this? KATHLEEN HALL JAMIESON: We had two major debates, highly informative debates in which that was not a featured element in the debate. And as a result, we didn't clarify what these people would do in relationship to it, except in the Democratic debate with Hillary Clinton saying that she and Senator Obama would be joining in order to try to move through Congress legislation, a proposal that would say that we're not going to let President Bush bind his successor about a permanent presence or a long term presence in Iraq. And we should ask the same question of the Republicans in the debate. Because perhaps, the Republicans believe it would be desirable to do that. And it's in that context that I would hear Senator McCain's statement about a long-lived presence in Iraq. What is the nature of that presence? The Democrats are being fairly specific about what they see as the length of the commitment, whether desirable or not. And the nature then of the other kinds of activities that they would engage in as President. When would they intervene and go back in? When would they not?

Maybe he thinks he's Robin Hood, robbing the poor to give to the rich. 8 Feb 2008 @ 10:24 by Sean M. Madden @89.240.79.240 : Murray's or Madden's Muddle? In RE: to 31 Jan 2008 @ 11:26 by E Murray: Madden's Muddle Great response, jazzolog, to Sean Madden's absurd complaint to Amy Goodman. It sure is brilliant to have that headline about right wing ideology causing financial crisis inspire this idea of Democracy Now being about supporting Democrats. What a thinker! For all of Democracy Now's great work they should have this rubbish thrown at them? _________________ Dear E Murray, Your criticism of my purported muddled thinking lacks relevance given that your statement above that "this idea of Democracy Now being about supporting Democrats" is nowhere included or suggested within my letter to Amy Goodman.
