A pretty relaxed guy myself. I oppose Obama, but if he gets elected I imagine little will change for me personally. Keep smiling, it drives people crazy.

We get the government we deserve.
As long those with money are allowed to invade and control the minds of people in this nation via media manipulation, nothing will change. Out of a country of 300 million people, they offer us two criminal puppets of Wall Street. Pick only one of these 2 is the message.

Marketing and psychological tactics work, otherwise, you would not have a marketing department in so many companies.


People need to throw out their TV's, newspapers and junk mail for starters.

Do they "invade and control" YOUR mind? No? Then what makes you think others are more susceptible than you are, other than your own hubris?

If you can see it, others can too. Most people are at least as bright as you and I.

People can be tricked and manipulated via psychological tactics and still understand the game that is going on.
There have been many case studies where people were voluntary subjects in such instances and still were tricked.

That is why I said, it is better to just shut off the TV, get rid of the newspaper and see the con game for what it is.

Both choices they give us are puppets for the same puppet masters, and everything outside of that is divide and conquer via talking points to keep both "teams" going at each others throats.

Meanwhile the puppet masters that have no preference to either team, cash in on the game.

But, it doesn't happen to you...does it? You're too smart to be tricked, right?

A nation whose biggest health problem is obesity ain't revolting.

I don't own a TV nor read the newspaper so I am not playing the game.
Get it?

Contrast that with how many people in American own a TV and watch the major media channels?
