22. My view has become that
all wars are the system's wars. Those that profit or gain power from them are vested interests that initiate, propagate and sustain them at all costs.

It has been a while now that I've stopped seeing the front man as anything more than a titular head. The human face is the first thing we recognize as children and so, it is not a matter of whether you love, hate or feel indifferent about the big, PR face and its particular spin, it is that you keep looking at it and remaining attached to the human diversion required.

While that overly simplifies my standpoint, if you pay close attention to how the system functions, (and now it is becoming more blatant and aggressive) it is not hard to see how the faces you don't see and the personalities you know little or anything about, are playing the chess pieces.

So, love Obama and even be an apologist for him, if you care to. I have no reason to be moved. Or, you can feel disappointed or bamboozled, or just plain angry. When it comes down to the deep politics of the PTB, your emotions and the belief that they really matter, (as if you are sending Chi-force out to effect them) are what I consider a great way to appease and distract the masses while the real power broking goes on at the Big Boy's table. No, you are not invited ;)

Voting has become yet another wonderful device, especially when you note who is offered for you to "choose". Yet, even today, with all we know and the information we have access to, the scheme continues to convey a sense of choice and representation as it becomes more obvious that neither trumps the vested interests as each important issue that comes to the forefront is now proving.

The people must be placated for the system to continue without major disruptions. That's what you get.
