Wow! That is a lot to read. I'm sure real good info at a glance.
Thank you for posting it, Eric.

My take/bottom line on it is: "the hidden agenda". They NEVER tell you the REAL reason for what they're doing. There is ALWAYS a COVER story. That should be called "THE FIRST LAW OF POLITICAL AGENDAS".

Yes, I understand it is a long document with alot of information to read through. But it nevertheless has much great information that we all should know and be aware of.

Scroll down to read about the tactic of "moving the middle" by gradually exposing the public to slightly more and more extreme legislation over time. Scary direction it is taking us, isn't it?

It starts on page 156.

Like I always say -- "We get the Government We deserve".

And "We" (most Americans) are a bunch of Dumb...'s. Pretty sad, when you think of all the freedoms and opportunities allowing us to be so much better than we are. And yet "We" prefer to be ignorant. "We" continue to allow those freedoms and opportunities to be taken from us.

"We get the Government We deserve".

As a die hard civi libertarian and an Ayn Rand fan. I really hate that word "we". With a bit of a twist on Anthem I think there should be a society where the word "we" is banned (Lol).
Quite seriously though that phrase insinuates that those of us who disagree with the policies of these idiots in office and refuse to vote for them have something to do with the current people in power. When in all honesty libertarians seem to have to endure listening to some jack-assed republicans telling us how our vote for a libertarian candidate is a vote for democrats over republicans (as if I support either party or even see a difference between the 2.).

The "We" for the most part says that, for the most part, America is a pretty ignorant and intellectually lazy country. We let others tell us what to think and how to behave, as to otherwise think for ourselves is just too much effort.

Please see my post on the General Discussion Forum, with the link to the television program EL GENERAL. It is airing now. I've watched it 3 times already.

Some great history, but more importantly a realistic look at our future as a Fascist Oligarchic America with no Middle Class. Some of the more current statements by those Mexican citizens interviewed are profound. Are you ready for that Third World Mercado de Pulga informal push cart street vendor economy. Too late. It's already here.

This Blog is in agreement with my take on our socio-economic future.

I swear, if we don't mainstream the message to the general public, that our plight is but one of many symptoms of the disease that is destroying America...
