They (The Wealthy) Have all the money, Land, Newspapers, Radio, police, judges, courts, and politicians. we have the court of public opinion, Which means Jack shit, and is played like a violin. Stop for a moment, before you try to insult me again, to think about all the folks here who believe in the fantasy of the The Gulf of Tonkin Incident or 911 false flags, and that should tell you of the vast intellectual pool we have as a resource. and you tell me what good are things like the internet or DU!? I end this statement with a quote. One that I read In the book it came from, (Know thy enemy.)

"Naturally the common people don't want war; neither in Russia, nor in England, nor in America, nor in Germany. That is understood. But after all, it is the leaders (The Wealthy) of the country who determine policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. ...Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country."-Adolf Hitler in Mein Kampf

The old German War bride who used to live up the street from me, (RIP) saw this coming 6 years ago. And said to me, "It's happening all over again, and in my lifetime."

So what can a good German, oops I mean, American do, and not end up in a concentration camp?

BTW Capitalism does not exist any more for the big boys, remember? Too Big To Fail!
