re:["Not from the UK and USA electorate though. Many
parliaments are not even happy about the current status
of affairs."]

First sanctions, and then -- when, not if...



Do you really think the US & UK electorate have a vote
that matters? The UK may no longer even have a vote post
Oct. 2nd and Lisbon.

And people thought the Queen holds no power (wake up Canada)...

"The "instruments of (Lisbon Treaty) ratification" were signed
by the Queen and Foreign Secretary David Miliband before being
deposited in Rome.

UK Shadow Foreign Secretary William Hague said the prime minister
had "no democratic or moral authority to sign Britain up to
the renamed EU constitution".

It was "a total breach of trust with the British people and a
flagrant breach of his solemn election promise to the British
people", Shadow Foreign Sec. William Hague added.

There's 15,000 paid lobbyists in D.C. spending $6.5 million
per each member of Congress and the Senate who make $175k,
with guarantees of NGO, lobbyist, Think Tank, and Foundation
jobs that pay multiples of what they made in Congress, if
they get voted out of office.

And you wonder why they don't even bother reading the bills any more?

If the dual passport holders in this administration were Chinese,
we'd all be speaking Mandarin...



SOTB

PS: Oil crisis/spike cures Abu Dhabi, Saudi, and Middle East
financial hemorrhaging. And provides petrodollar windfall
(of great benefit to Russia) which provides badly needed
US Treasury funding.

Win-win for everyone... especially the military-industrial,
oil complex.

...follow the money.
