Well, I can't say I'm surprised. If want your vote to count enough, you may need to vote more than once.

IMO People are not inherently evil. The average Man maybe, not women or children though. Ok there are evil women but thats another topic ;-)

If you had your family killed by a predator drone in Pakistan earlier this year, would you be more evil? Odds are more likely that you would be full of hate. And most people in the US don't even know that we were bombing Pakistan. I understand that terrorists can recruit people, and that is how they build their army. But wont we make recruiting stronger this way?

My OPINION is that we can pull completely out of the middle east, take the NEXT trillion we will spend over 7 years and spend it on border security and homeland security and be much safer. But it seems to me we are not doing this for safety.

We haven't even spent 1 trillion dollars on both wars for the past decade. Quit making crap up. :roll:

While I appreciate being held accountable for my statements. I am not sure which one of us is making crap up.

The direct cost of the Iraq war alone from 2003 to Feb 2010 is $704 billion. Those are direct costs, and not including health care costs to wounded veterans (in my opinion the most important costs at this point)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Financial_cost_of_the_Iraq_War

It is very difficult to find numbers on the Afghanistan war expenses. But even your most trusted news source CNN (Communist News Network) reported that we have already reached 1.15 Trillion in costs with both wars combined. Some news articles have reported the Afghan war is more expensive but I cannot find a breakdown on the actual costs.

Another interesting FACT is that the cost of both wars will reach $2.4 Trillion by 2017

http://edition.cnn.com/2010/POLITICS/07/20/war.costs/index.html#fbid=FDvZWP2gmw5

So Tim, we most definitely have spent over a trillion on these 2 conflicts. And when you add in the loss of life for the men and women in our military, the costs are much greater. And for what?

Heard of it Bryan. Is that the author you mentioned earlier?

If you happen to know another way this nation works, or the answer to this problem, if you can prove that it is BS, I would LOVE to hear. This is one topic I would be thrilled to be wrong about. I am humble enough to be corrected; seriously though please try.

BTW, if you really do go to a CFR meeting, please tell them I said see you in hell *****.

As far as Obama lying, he did a great job of telling us what we wanted to hear. And when Bush was president (hated it like most people), I fell for Obama's lies hook, line and sinker.

It was actually Obamas lies that helped me wake up to an interesting fact. It wont matter which side is in control. You are lied to by both sides, and each side has a purpose for the real owners of this nation.

True. Lincoln also didn't renew their banking charter. It went back and forth many times in the first 100 years or whatever.

OF course Woodrow Wilson apologized after allowing the Federal Reserve Act of 1913 to pass. He basically said, sorry guys I let these guys take over our economy. My bad!

JFK wanted to issue a different currency. Of course, he ended up like Lincoln. So you start to see what happens when you go against the people who really control this economy.

Not sure who Edward Griffin is. I do know who the Rothschilds are though.

Imagine for a second Bryan, if every dollar in circulation was a debt owed to you with interest. I know that sounds a lot like fiction to you, but it really isn't. Now imagine if that were the case in the case with the Euro, Pound, as well as the dollar and more.

Imagine after invading Iraq that you could buy up 80+% of their banking industry. Who do you think will control their economy in the future? And while it is true that this group does NOT control the whole world yet, they are well on their way.

Check out Hillary straight up telling you the Council on Foreign Relations tells the "officials" what to do:

First of all, I appreciate the men and women who choose to serve in the armed forces for our country. And I do not mean to offend them in any way, but instead try to gain insight in some questions that I have.

Why do you think we invade and occupy countries in the middle east? should we feel safer that we have done that? Does it make sense to do that in order to fight a never ending "war on terror"?

What have we gained from the invasions of these countries?

And why the hell are we bombing Pakistan?

I would ask if we are defending freedom, but I know that we aren't doing that. The Govt is steadily taking our freedom away, so that wouldn't make any sense.

Good for them! At least they have the testicular fortitude to stand up for themselves.

When they come for the pensions, and extend the retirement age here again. When they cut social services, and raise taxes at the same time. When they do all of these things here (and it is coming soon folks), will WE just roll over and take it? Probably! Even though we had no control over the Government expanding, wasting money, and exponentially increasing the deficit.

Do you know how trillions get printed out of thin air? Have you figured out what group is really responsible for the deficit spending? After doing just a little reading on that topic, I am sure you would agree that ignorant (public education sucks) poor people don't have a lot to do with that.

Guess I will stir the pot, or your minds up a bit.

They are not working for you at all. Neither side works for you AT ALL.

You do not pay them. Your tax dollars are NOT paying their salaries. They might as well be paid actors (not saying they are, but just sayin). If you want to know who REALLY pays them to do what they do, then follow the money back to its source.

"If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their money, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around [the banks], will deprive the people of their property until their children will wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered."
- Thomas Jefferson

"If the American people knew tonight, exactly how the monetary and banking system worked, there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning."
- Abraham Lincoln

You will not find a solution to this problem in the near future. Any major movement against this problem ALWAYS gets infiltrated by one of the two parties. Example: there were many Libertarians in the original Tea Parties that were speaking these truths. They have been drowned out by Republicans who will now control that movement.

Here in my area the Libertarian candidate for Gov was not allowed to participate in a televised debate. He will not be welcomed by major media outlets. So the public here will go in and pick their "side" and we will go along as usual.

So you are at the mercy of their agenda. Those who voted for Obama to end the war, end NAFTA, or one of the other millions of lies and half truths he told should KNOW this by now. You are not going to get a politician, or a group of politicians on either side to stand up to the money source. Yeah, they may blow smoke up your rear until they get elected; but the only "change" they will have to offer is what is approved by this source.
