Cheney, the has-been V.P.

It must be really galling to him--the prospect of going down in history as the forgotten side-kick of the worst President ever. That must be the explanation for the desperate effort to salvage the war theme, even if it means assigning that lofty accolade to that undeserving usurper in the White House.

That's actually a gigantic concession from the purported leader of a population that defines itself on the basis of heritage (who's your daddy not only defines your social status, but determines the quality of your behavior). But then, Cheney himself is a Johnny-come-lately, hanging on the coat-tails of the Bush heir. So, in a sense, the effort to derive significance from the warrior designation is consistent. If the ties of heritage are weak, the warrior stance is a traditional route to social prominence.

That someone would discount this traditional route in favor of personal achievement must be doubly galling; especially after coming to the realization that the Bush heir did not fully appreciate the role of supreme commander he'd been vouchsafed. For, when you come to think of it, most of the VP's machinations actually came to naught, since the Bush-heir's satisfaction with BEING in the driver's seat did not translate into him actually DOING anything. Which suggests that the effort to goad Obama into action is a sort of last resort to demonstrate that the misadventure in the Middle East was/is a valid endeavor.

Richard Bruce Cheney wants Barack Hussein Obama to certify that he, the original self-made man, was right. If that ain't a kick in the pants, I don't know what is.

In a culture where heritage (who one is) defines the value of behavior, it's not uncommon for actual behavior to be minimal. After all, if one is already superior by virtue of one's birth, there's no need to demonstrate superiority by actually doing anything. That's the reality Cheney seems to have overlooked in fixing on the Bush-heir as his vehicle to historical prominence. The Bush-heir may have been willing to consider himself the equivalent of Alexander the Great, but his ability to act the part turned out to be virtually nil. Now, as a last resort, the has-been V.P. is reduced to hoping against hope that Obama, destiny's heir, can be tempted to assert a New American Century or empire under the global security umbrella.

QUIT CALLING WOLF, NO ONE LISTENS.

No One Is Telling Us The Truth?

Once you start to ask yourself about whose agenda is served by events and their news spin, other things come to mind. For example, last July there was a news report that the government in Yemen had disbanded a terrorist cell, which was operating under the supervision of Israeli intelligence services. According to the news report, Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh told Saba news agency that a terrorist cell was arrested and that the case was referred to judicial authorities "for its links with the Israeli intelligence services."

Who benefits? Clearly, attacking Iran is on the Israeli agenda, and
someone is creating the "evidence" to support the case, just as the leaked
secret "Downing Street Memo" to the British cabinet informed Prime Minister
Tony Blair's government that President Bush had already made the decision to
invade Iraq and "the intelligence and facts were being fixed around the policy."

The supposition still exists that government represents the public interest. Political parties keep this myth alive by fighting over which party best represents the public’s interest. In truth, government represents private interests, those of the office holders themselves and those of the lobby groups that finance their political campaigns. The public is in the dark as to the real agendas.

The U.S. and its puppet state allies were led to war in the Middle East and Afghanistan entirely on the basis of lies and deception. Straight from Mossad.

Now the same thing is happening in regard to the nonexistent Iranian nuclear weapons program. Forged documents leaked to The Times (London) that indicated Iran was developing a "nuclear trigger" mechanism have been revealed as forgeries.

The willingness of people to believe their rulers and the propaganda ministries that serve the rulers is astonishing. Many Americans believe Iran has a nuclear weapons program despite the unanimous conclusion of 16 U.S. intelligence agencies to the contrary. Why? The
controlled mainstream media with an
agenda that supports the lies from the
benefituaries, AIPAC & ISRAEL.

68% of America supported the "change
agenda" proposed by Obama. All the
well meaning promises, but we face
another administration controlled by the
same rogue State lobby as Bush & Cheney were. A totalitarian political system where everyone knows that there is no free press, a gullible or intimidated public, that turns to their
religious leaders to again be lead astray
from the truth, but of course they hear
it is all biblical, end times are here.
Israel will rule the World, it's finances,
media, and political leaders. We need to
do nothing, leave it to GOD and his
chosen people to lead us to "Hell". we
are following the anti-christ for sure.

What a coincidence. That is exactly what 9/11 succeeded in accomplishing in the U.S.
"Our modern society is engaged in polishing and decorating the cage in which man is kept imprisoned."

The loss of moral values, ethics, and
integrity in government has created a
society that has lost all true patriotism,
we are no longer the America we once
were so proud of, and willing to serve.

All based on myth larger then Santa Claus, The Easter Bunny, The Tooth
Fairy, and Wine from a rock.
