leading questions is because the guy on the cover of the record, Lee Michaels, looks kinda cute. He sounds so la la and I don't know what he means.

And my answer to your question is: Go to bed and get some sleep. I had my night sleep already on this side of the globe, so you rolling the balls hit me while I am rested.

Nothing for Ungood. (literally translation for "Nichts für Ungut", google translated to "No offense")

And one thing I always reminded off (and disappointed about) is the fact that those, who want to change legislation of the constitution and the electoral college, are afraid to promote it, because they are scared they would create worse laws than they had before, with or without a president. So, who cares about the President anyway. I have nothing to say, but insist on my first amendment right. See? Do I sound smart now?

Have a good Sunday.

(Edit: the title went though before, but coming through to add an edit regarding a date I thought I'd mentioned, now the Subject is one character over and has to have the period removed?)

Oh, yeah, do totally agree with you on that! However, since the checks and balances have been co-opted as well as the Presidency and the US Constitution regarded as 'a piece of (toilet) paper' by The Powers That Shouldn't Be running government, it keeps coming back to ditching those for a government of, for and by the people, with equal rights, treatment and opportunity (finally!) for all, serving and protecting the public interest against all who would predate upon the more vulnerable at any level, in a country of laws, not men.

A two-party democracy might work if both parties were competing to provide the best for the benefit of their fellow-citizens and country, rather than fighting over which party gets to feed the vultures waiting for the rest of the public's/country's life-blood so that they can get some of the leavings as an extra.

We just have to figure out how to pacifically achieve recovering our stolen governments when the system's been warped to prevent this...

I saw the following video just before coming on last night to immediately see, to my delight, that the subject had been posted on by a deeply respected Someone Who Actually Knows, but I'll add the link and assorted mess here; notes are hasty and hopefully give a general and reasonably accurate idea of some of the video contents, also leaving in/adapting some notes on a very odd youtube problem I encountered, which may or may not be due to my general computer weirdness, but under the circumstances, might also be a warning of things to shortly come:

(Jan 15th, 2018) Must look up Corbet Report URLs on search, URLs on youtube music videos and others are present, as normal - perhaps these are simply provided by embedded videos carried on youtube? but have never seen this happen before, where only a blank shows where the Youtube URL should be on, so far, a half-dozen Corbett Report videos in a row, as they appear down the side of preceding videos... YouTube IS now removing videos which contain nudity or sexual references (lost a Blondie video labeled as deleted from playlists for that reason, don't usually watch 'em so have been looking to see what else has been so far deleted from my playlists, apart from several sorely missed Green Day albums) but I suppose that exposing the Empire's nudity, beneath the lies used to clothe it, qualifies as much the same thing.. looked these URLs up separately on Duck Duck Go, copy-pasting title and other associated info into search without seeing any of these from Youtube - although came across some Corbett Report youtube videos later that did have URLs; could this be be my computer?

(Today, Jan 16th, the video - and youtube URL - appears on DDG search: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MxSTmcwP4QI and I notice that the comments seem to be full of those thinking that global micro-management of everyone's lives is a good thing, which I somehow hadn't noticed before. And no questioning of why, if they're 'green' and 'sustainable', they're pushing fossil fuels, fracking, enforced GMOs in a toxic chemical stew and other deadly 'cost-cutting'/for-profit industrial poisoning of humanity and the planet. Might be better off going to the corbettreport site; providing both, anyway...)

The Dark Agenda Behind the Resource-Based Economy
Corbett05/29/2015

24/7 surveillance. Smart grid controls. Carbon rationing. Today we talk to “Technocracy Rising” author Patrick Wood about the hidden history of technocracy, the dark plan for a resource-based economy that is being pushed by the Trilateral Commission, the UN, and other globalist institutions in order to bring about a completely managed, controlled and regulated society.

(Embedded video at link; takes a moment to load past initially shown zeros for time - all of these videos are listed down the side at Youtube, all viewed so far lacking URLs... would that be in conjunction with the privatized Domain names? I suppose Youtube could pull URLs for their site in their own? Since they're Google and all?

In case this video vanishes, fast sloppy notes of some points made, with my commentary mixed in:

Speaks of the technocratic global conquest in progress, and of the desire to micromanage and control individuals 'for efficiency'. The quote stating that, for those involved: "The real enemy is humanity itself" and talk of 'deep transformation' of society shows, as far as I'm concerned, that the real issue is psychopathy. Only a psychopath could believe that 'trans-humanism' - working toward existence without life in a world where only machines or a 'virtual reality' can exist - is a desirable goal to be forced on all. Almost none of whom are intended to survive the process. This has been in process since the 1930's; please recall what the Nazi's were up to at that time, in the 1930s, and how many US and other Nazi sympathizers were in industry, moving into government over the intervening period.

(And - in my venturing to speak in disagreement with what appears to be the speaker's thesis in this one specific area - it seems evident to me that it's the industry and other self-interests in government, and not generic 'government' itself, that interferes with otherwise functional processes to screw over most for the benefit of a relative few. Psychopaths must be kept out of public office.

Modern government is a tool meant to be used by the people, in the public interest, and one which must be used to protect the public interest, in great part by preventing predation by self-interests on the more vulnerable at all levels, for species long-term - now, even very short-term - survival. Even enlightened self-interest would accept this essential fact, were The Psychopaths That Be capable of comprehending this.

Trilateral Commission, World Bank, etc., working toward their own goals; my view is that public office was abused to achieve this encroaching, ongoing horror, not that any sane, democratic government would have done this. A real government of, by and for the people would obviously have prevented this.

Also says that they got Jimmy Carter elected, that, I suspect, being related to his later ? expiation of sins? by working to create housing for the poor in various countries.

They captured the executive branch of the US government, to gain control over the economic machinery of the world - and [my addition] have been destroying the planet ever since.

Says also that John Podesta came from the UN to work as the senior consultant regarding climate change under Obama; NYT claimed that Podesta created Obama's climate change policy, down to the Executive Orders Obama was to sign, to implement these through the Executive branch, and 'recently', at the time of this May, 2015 discussion, left to manage [inserting my point: Fracking Queen, Mad Bomber] Hillary Clinton's campaign.

And when the idea for the formation of the Trilateral Commission to successfully enact previously failed attempts to exert a new economic order was proposed, (edit: I believe said to have been in 1932? in the video) this was discussed with the Bilderberg group, various members of the latter also joining the Trilateral Commission. Says overlap with CFR [presumably Council of Foreign Relations] the European-based Atlantic Council, the Club of Rome...

Says it was in 1976, with Jimmy Carter, that the Trilateral Commission took over the Executive Branch of government, and that it's never been the same since.

Obama and Biden, while surrounded by Trilateral Commission members, were apparently not members themselves, unlike others, such as Clinton and Al Gore, Bush and Cheney... The Trilateral Commission presents itself as being very green and sustainable; it isn't.

My personal belief is that it's about bleeding the planet dry, as well as the speaker's point that they wish to micro-manage everyone's life, as we have already seen proven - with no indication about any care for not destroying the ecology. Quite the reverse, and very rapidly.

US business interests who were members of the Trilateral Commission were in China before it was even legal, and built the infrastructure which is now , as described in this video, as 'raping America', while China is becoming a dominant global power, apparently powered by various of the Trilateral Commission's self-interests. [How delightful...]

Kinda been wondering, here and there, if perchance some factions within the larger countries being threatened but not yet directly militarily attacked by the US PTB were in on the kabuki, especially since the Clinton/DWS thing about the infiltrating - and evidently protected - Awan brothers (like Sec. of State Hilary herself) were sending out US foreign policy (intimidation/invasion plans) and other Sekrit information to foreign interests/governments - hard to know what to think and what to believe and the amount of salt I've been having to leave various things sitting in, while keeping them handy, can't be doing any good for their blood pressure...

Edit to add:

The power as Commander in Chief under

... war time conditions, of which we've been in since 2001, are immense for one person.
I think it's time the human race got beyond this practice of having one person in charge of entire countries. It's basically an extension of how it's always been with Kings, Queens, Rulers, etc., throughout history.

Edit to make the essential point I thought I'd made, lol, that democracies are supposed to have Presidents/Prime Ministers concerned with maintaining and improving domestic conditions and the lives of their people; military states - which America (under no danger of invasion and founded by those with deep suspicions of the hazards of a standing army of any kind, not being anyway required by the country,) was not founded to be - have glorified Commanders in Chief intent on, (in this case, as with the Nazis,) global military/corporate domination. The checks and balances have long been co-opted by internal enemies along with the Executive Branch, including the Supreme Court.

There never were 'US war time conditions', just global invasion plans which included the subjugation of the American people, in an excuse to 'lawfully' steal their rights, wealth, even their very concept of democracy, along with their future.

Bombing and invading other countries which were claimed to have had a group of people, all claimed to have died in the act - not connected to government in any way, claimed to have merely left from that country to come to theirs to use several hijacked airplanes to disintegrate some buildings and trash parts of others (which did not disintegrate), packed with mostly not top level workers and proof of corporate criminality - doesn't qualify as a 'war', just an invasion unprovoked by the country itself in order to occupy that - and other countries on the strength of this weak excuse - in order to steal their stuff in the process of global conquest. War crimes, yes, but no actual war could really be declared, except 'the (malleable and profitable) war on terror', (often essentially waged on civilians labeled as 'terrorists' after death to get that kill count up there and the war crime count down, with supplies cut off - by US official demand - to civilians starved and deprived of medicines, thereby killing millions more of innocent civilians, especially hitting hard among those sneaky and treacherous hazards, children, the poorest, the sick and the elderly) terror which US PTB themselves have spread throughout the world, including within their own country.

The solution to any such destructive governmental take-over including all checks and balances was allowed for in the inalienable right of The People to overthrow abusive government, to replace it with government truly of, by and for the people. The Founders just assumed that this would be possible, due to the 99 - 1 odds, and couldn't guess that unverifiable electronic voting records and obvious electoral cheating would come to be passively accepted by the people, due to such as the most extensive media propaganda campaigns ever, up until the ever-worsening now.

Was trying to write this in Outlook drafts, which too-often seems to decide that my 'session' is over while I'm working where I can see better and more widely than in this little window without having to wait for Preview here to go through, stay through and let me read through. Why the hell do they randomly limit time spent writing there anyway? Some of us are slower than others, and have restless and bored nose-poky dogs needing sometime a lot of frequent extra get-up-and-go attention in cold weather...
