The Great Game: Geopolitics and Oil (October 19, 2010)

The Great Game is afoot and no matter how we may disapprove of the Global Empire, we would be wise not to discount the cards it alone holds.

Geopolitics is not called The Great Game without reason. The game of dominating the world's resources, nation-states and alliances is like a combination of Go and chess, with the threat of military conquest or defeat always hovering over the statecraft and financial game.

The primary role of the U.S. govt is to protect and defend our nation and its people. The problem isn't defense, the problem is corrupt politicians who are enriching themselves with stolen money, totally ignoring the people who hired them and dictating their lives.

I love the three party system and the checks and balances. What I don't like is an out of control government.

The American people have only one choice if they wish to continue to thrive. Destroy the careers of ignorant politicians, and elect a president that understands and adheres to our founding principles. They are all written down in the Constitution and the Bill of Rights where anyone can read them.

Any future politician that doesn't understand that is a goner.

National Politburo Radio

By Ellen Ratner 10 22, 2010

In the fury of the firing of Juan Williams much of the tenor of what is happening at NPR is being overlooked. His firing is completely outrageous but it is a symptom of a larger problem at the news organization….

NPR CEO Vivian Schiller’s true colors showed through during a speech she was making where she said that Juan’s feelings about Muslims should be between his psychiatrist or his publicist. She later apologized for the remark, but it gave a huge insight into Ms. Schiller’s personality. It is a personality that wants complete control not only of the news product but also of the people working at NPR.

NPR should just call itself National Politburo Radio. It operates like one.
