Best wishes to all my friends on Alanhart.net.

Today is the fated Doomsday LOL. So if we should not meet again I wanted to take this opportunity to say goodbye. However, some are saying that today is not a doomsday at all but instead represents an “explosion of consciousness.” Could we be witnessing the end of zion?

Dr. Richard Falk, UN envoy for Palestinian territories, became the latest victim of Israel Lobby. He was fired by George Soro’s funded New York-based Human Rights Watch group on December 17, 2012.

More attention must be given to mental illness.

The answer to your short question is, of course, NO. The System will not allow for any change because it’s the System that is in power now and the System favours itself above all else. That “System” is, by now, virtually universal, that is global. I agree with King David in that the USA is just the most visible of all the visible puppets, but it’s pretty much the same everywhere else. Or does anyone still think that Cameron is a free agent? Ot that Milliband would be any better? And look at France, Spain, India, you name it. Tutto il mondo é paese (the whole world is a village), these days. It can only end with a bang bigger that the Big one. Unless it ends with the protracted whimper of those who’ll wake up un morning and find themselves utterly enslaved (and I mean that literally and in the old-fashion sense) to some monster coprporation or other.
Stil,,,. Keep them coming, Alan.

Your question of if US leaders can lead; the answer I agree is no. That is the same for every government in the world. Governments exist for profit. They say and do what their sponsors require of them.

In regards to gun ownership. I would arm myself to the teeth if I lived in the US. The place is now converting to a police state. The citizens will require their guns to protect themselves from their government. Obama has stated that he intended to remove guns from the population; and that he was working on this with something “under the radar.”

I grew up in Lebanon and in the 70s and 80s we were proud if we bought any goods made in the US from clothes to tools to cars labeling them: “The best money can buy”.

Today the only “The best money can buy” that is made in the US is guns. On a small scale American citizen kill each other. On a larger scale, America sells them to the Arabs and we also kill each other!! The only difference is: Americans killing each other gets more media attention. Arab death does not really count except if someone is “Killing his own people” from Saddam to Kaddafi and now Assad.

Two weeks ago rebels fighting the Syrian government armed with American weapons (same people are called terrorist if they are fighting the Americans) killed around 20 kids in a school in or around Damascus. The incident did not get any media attention except on rt.com.

The role of the American president is reduces to a puppet waiting for a string to be pulled. I voted for Obama in 2008. I did not vote in 2012 actually I want my 2008 vote back! I saw his crocodile tears on TV yesterday. He will do nothing. He can’t do anything. He is waiting for the next string to be pulled.

The US appears now to be run by a criminal élite. Ordinary Citizens are locked up for murder length sentences for minor offences but drug money laundering banksters are let off with a trivial fine or nothing at all. This is a big two fingers from all the plutocrats and the political whores.
I think Igor Panarin who forecasts the preakup of the Federal Union ere long. Perhaps a Peaceful breakup is the only way to get rid of at least the top tier of Political Pathocrats/Kleptocrats. The American People must be united in their enemy which is our enemy: A small band of Gangsters in suits and the Political Whore class they have spawned.

President Michelle’s first draft bill had the provocative title An Act to Restore Democracy to the United States of America. . .

The Act to Restore Democracy . . . would make it an offence for any candidate for public office to accept gifts or loans in support of his or her election campaign; or, indeed, to use personal wealth for such a purpose. Congress would allocate funds to an Independent Electoral Authority and this Authority would in turn fund the electoral campaigns of all candidates qualified to stand for office.

The Act would set up a National Broadcasting Corporation, publicly owned and financed, but independently managed. All candidates for election would be entitled to a free allocation of television and radio time. Checks against abuse would be built in to the system.

At a stroke, this law would level the electoral playing field. For the first time in generations the wealthy would have little or no advantage over the poor in the competition for office. She expected new talents to emerge which would enrich and invigorate American political life. New parties might enter the political arena, breaking the monopoly presently shared by Republicans and Democrats and breathing new life into American democracy.

From my 2011 political fantasy, President Michelle, or Ten Days that Shook the World.

The attitude of US citizens and their supporters seems to be that violence and interference anywhere to further their interests are quite acceptable, that they are always right and that negotiations and cooperation are cowardly alternatives to threats and use of WMD. This, coupled with growing inequality and the reliance on guns for “self defence”, makes the “homeland” violence a natural consequence. The return in 2004 to legality of assault weapons shows that Congress, as always,is in the forefront of ensuring no progress is possible.

And political corruption can only be changed by changing the political system: the president with only one 7-year term (so he/she can govern without being occupied about the next election)and limiting Senators’ and Congressmen’s terms in office. More political parties need to be created and then introducing proportional representation. But as usual…lots and lots of talk and nothing happening.
