89. If I Called You Paid I'd Get Red-Flagged

Mon Apr 18, 2016, 04:14 AM

Apr 2016

The only paid sock puppets here are military contractors. I hardly think they would question 911 in any way. Especially with Bushes allies. You sound way more illogical than me. I don't think Obama likes the Bushes or the Clintons and those two families ARE in love with each other and collude. I could easily accept that one reason Obama had flipped on his promised regarding surveillance, lobbyist regulators and military intervention is because he is under constant threat from the security establishment who is according to most accounts the actual government. Handler may have been a bit hyperbolic but the point remains...these politicians are just figureheads and mouthpieces and when they try to actually change anything they end up like JFK/RFK/MLK or maybe the modern more subtle version of being William Colby'd or Wellstoned.
