    Joseph I also just read the Boston Globe article about the concept of a double government put forth by Tufts University political scientist Michael Glennon. Terrific to see this idea emerge in mainstream media, and by a university professor. But I have to wonder if your work, and that of Richard Dolan and Catherine Austin Fitts has been acknowledged or drawn upon. In any case it is an opportunity to speak up, use that opportunity to keep the public conversation going. Notably, it feels like an element of “Disclosure” that many have been looking for.

    Here in Oz I saw an Al Jazeera piece where the film crew went into the streets to interview people on the election. ALL OF THEM said that what the US needed was a third party. One guy said “I believe in the country, NOT THE GOVERNMENT.
    Well that says it all, and sooner or later, the Republithugs and Demecrooks will take a beating, but it may take some time unfortunately.

    The saying that regardless of who wins the election, the government still gets in is finally acknowledged in a recent Boston Globe headline: “Vote all you want. The secret government won’t change. The people we elect aren’t the ones calling the shots …” Refreshing honesty! Already in early voting in Illinois and Maryland there are reports of computers switching votes from one party to another. “Calibration errors” they call it … At least it would be more fun if we had candidates like Darth Vader, Chewbacca, Princess Amidala and Yoda who ran for Parliament in Ukraine’s recent election.

    Off topic: TheByteShow just posted the latest conversation with Dr Farrell … 2+ hours worth!

      Margaret,

      What? Fraud in Illinois voting?! Just kidding. Presently Illinois has two former governors side by side in prison, a vile, dual citizen mayor of Chicago as a result of the south side plantation voting 6-8 times and the north side elites providing the money. It doesn’t end there. The father of one of my childhood friends was the assistant to Secretary of State Paul Powell who died leaving a closet full of shoe boxes that were full of bills. Well, the checks for licenses and plates were made out to -Paul Powell, so he cashed the checks through a laundry bank and put the money in shoe boxes. Paul was from a small town south of where I was born and raised, Vienna. So why vote? Good question and the reason the Maytag man is not the loneliest man in town…its the Polling Worker in various parts of Illinois. And we have the gall to lecture every other country on the earth on how to vote and run their country. Funny but tragic, huh.

    During the 96 Prez Election, a female LBT pundit said, “If we don’t elect a 3rd Party candidate by 2000, we’re toast”. Sad to say that was the case. Vote fraud has been around for decades. To think that the System would actually threaten real change from within is simply not an option. I would love to see a candidate get his name changed to “None of the Above” and pledge not to serve if elected.

    How ironic a satire website is more truthful than the official political websites. Three cheers for The Onion everybody hip hip ha ray.

    Sadly, in today’s world of
    privatization & globalization
    (aka grabitization and globalbaloney) –

    the darker the humor is;
    the closer to the truth it becomes.

    Frankly, in a true democracy, if less than half of the citizens vote then the issue itself should be considered invalid. And I do mean all citizens, not just “registered voters” or whatever they want to call them.

    Secondly, it’s very irritating to see how much attention is given to the Republicans & Democrats in America. They’re both universally loathed yet that’s all anybody talks, especially amongst those who claim to have a strong interest in politics. Want to have some fun with these people? Try this pop quiz:

    How many choices were there in the last Presidential election?
    A. 2
    B. 3
    C. 6
    D. more than 10

    Surprise, the answer is D. Although it’s difficult to pin down the exact number (because of different ballots in different states), Americans did in fact have a wide variety of choice. Here’s link to a list of most candidates:
    http://www.politics1.com/p2012.htm
    Yes, some of them are nutty but if you research all the candidates then I can almost guarantee that you’ll find one that is more appealing you your concerns than the sell-outs in the two biggest parties. I’m not American, but if I was, I would literally have voted for Roseanne’s Peace & Freedom platform rather than either Obama or Romney.

    It’s just bewildering that so many “care so much” yet are completely unwilling to do any research or have the guts to vote outside of the mainstream. What a sad, mind-controlled populace.

    Lol, gotta love the Onion.

    Revealing that a majority of Americans believe that the most positive thing to do on election day is stay home- a general strike. I still believe referendum, pot, GMO etc. or third party candidates should be given voter support and even the occasional local lamestream candidate. My Bklyn congressional district, like so many, is so gerrymandered that a dem couldn’t win against a houseplant. First step is to form a local political discussion group. My neighbors mostly watch the evening news, see the ebola segment, then hide under the bed. And it is these sheeple that never miss voting in an election. Nobody came trick or treating. The ebola thing is managing minds. In NY there was only 1 televised gubernatorial debate. PBS at least included the green and the libertarian candidates so it wasn’t just the Rep and Dem attacking each other, you heard ideas like ” a ND style state bank” & keeping/attracting businesses by slashing energy costs through a commitment to renewables. Here they are doing there best to screw drivers: neglecting road repair and improvements, more and more bus and bike lanes. Their alternative? Maintaining the decrepit, snail paced, obsolete, and now bedbug ridden subway system as the only alternative.

      For 2 weeks now in Colorado the TV stations have been scaring all the parents to check their children’s candy on Halloween for pot candy. They are even pushing this testing kit you can buy for $15.00. Surprise, no reports yet. I guess no one wanted to give away expensive $15.00 candy to get some kid high. Predictive programming.

        Yep I saw this on Tampa news where they have a big medical marijuana vote in two days and on New York news. I almost went trick or treating after hearing it.
