Obama's Intelligence Agenda: More of the Same from the "Change Administration"

[Mark Stapleton]

When Adminitrations change but the basic and most important policies do not, it is a clear sign that other invisible forces are truly in control.

Having said that, the electoral process of our democratic west is a charade in any case, designed to lull people into believing a sham dream that they have a say in how politics work and how their money is spent. They do not. Matters of state are far too important to be left to chance and the whim of the citizen casting their votes.

What is so sad, however, is that when the next great hope comes along in a decade or so he/she will receive the same adoration of those same tens of millions -- who held Obama so high in their esteem -- and will also fail miserably to live up to their hopes and expectations.

The democratic process is a fixed roulette wheel and it will remain fixed so long as punters continue to enter the Casino and spin the wheel.

And by God they will...

I doubt I would have said this three years ago, but I agree with every word of this post, David.

I'm on board, albeit a little late.
