The more I read about this Rahm Emanuel guy the worse it gets, not only are his Israeli ties a cause for concern, but take a read of this- http://www.examiner.com/x-536-Civil-Liberties-Examiner~y2008m11d6-Obamas-chief-of-staff-choice-favors-compulsory-universal-service |

Yeah we're screwed. Obama is already setting up people that are known 'insiders' that do not have this country's best interest at heart. Rahm Emanuel is a NEFARIOUS character. This is just the beginning it seems. We're so screwed it seems semi-hopeless. There needs to be new life in the Patriot, Liberty, Independent, Libertarian, Green "Movements". I thought for a second that Obama would not surround himself with more Insiders in his Cabinet. After Rahm Emanuel and Warren Buffet....I see things will not "change". I already knew this, but now it's apparent. America has been suckered once again. |

Funny, as soon as this guy is appointed he is labeled as "an insider" and his appointment a danger to the US. I really do hope you guys have a stronger reason than his personal ties with Israel, and I hope you do share it.
Warren Buffet? So now he's in on this grand conspiracy of yours? I hope you guys do a better job than with the Federal Reserve thread ... all you posted as "evidence" of a conspiracy was a link to a speech full of lies and then looked the other way when I started pointing out the lies in said conference. |

Wouldn't that be the point of a real Truth Movement? Providing real info to the masses, that when challenged you either rectify that information or defend it until you prove its accuracy ... yet it seems that you are quite content with mere speculation. You want to know how this seems to an outsider of this Truth Movement? You tied your conspiracy theory to the Bush government, but now that a another party won the elections the only way to keep the ct alive is by including the new president and its cabinet in the grand conspiracy you guys have made up so far. It feels like quite a desperate move. |

Huh??? I haven't tied Obama to 9/11 in any way. Obama assumed Senatorial office in 2005. He was no where NEAR "9/11". What "conspiracy" are you talking about? I haven't proposed any conspiracy. I am proposing that it is looking like all the major players of old are being recycled back into the White House. Meaning, there is no "change". How is that a "conspiracy"? Are YOU so obsessed with conspiracies, that when someone here makes an observation, you think they are doing so in the name of "conspiracy theories"? Do you assume that people who pay attention to government actions(like people here), they would all of the sudden ease up and stop paying attention because the (R) on the white house is turning to a (D)? You're an absurd person if you think so, and it shows you haven't been paying attention to the most BASIC premises of people who are political watchdogs of sorts.
I personally could give a rats ass about opinions. My opinions are and have never been popular here. I hardly post here anyways. So I could care less if some guy (you) that I've never heard of or spoken to, comes here and tells me what things "look like". |

If we really want "change" we MUST vote for a third party, seriously. The Republican and Democrat brands of modern have failed us over and over and over again, why continue to give them the power? |

Read the snippet from "Rahmbo's" book, he wants to literally enslave 18-25 year olds and force them to serve the government, a "real patriot act" as he refers it as, and who's to say they won't enforce it ? Obama has spoken lots of times of similar things, the 1 million strong civilian army for instance. He sends dead fish to his political enemies. He actually served for the Israeli army during the first gulf war, would that not mean he has a conflict of interests ? the Israeli papers are literally referring to him as "Israel's man in the white house" And at a dinner for the clintons he repeatedly stabbed a knife into the dinner table reeling the names of his enemies off whilst shouting "dead!....Dead....Dead.....dead" , yeh, he really sounds like a great guy doesn't he ?

first of all his "real patriot act" actually sounds pretty good. giving free jobs (forced or not) to 18 year olds in the public sector sounds amazing to me. also by saying "real" patriot act, he is clearly implying that Bush's patriot act isnt patriotic at all THAT SAID, this guy scares me as it relates to foreign policy and isreal...i honestly dont think Obama knows what hes getting into. CFR member or not, Obama hasnt been around long enough to understand the real agenda |

from Emmanuel's "The Plan" "1. A new social contract — universal citizen service, universal college access, universal retirement savings, and universal children's health care — that makes clear what you can do for your country and what your country can do for you. 2. A return to fiscal responsibility and an end to corporate welfare as we know it. 3. Tax reform to help those who aren't wealthy build wealth. 4. A new strategy to use all America's strengths to win the war on terror. 5. A Hybrid Economy that cuts America's gasoline consumption in half over the next decade." Ok.....so we have a socially progressive lefty on domestic issues...yet also a sneaky little war-hawk neo-con bastard on foreign policy. i can see how Obama could be tricked into hiring this guy. |

Yeah, getting beaten/tasered by an 18 year old on a power trip is my new goal in life.
Or that it isn't as extreme as someone would want it to be. |
