Reply #29: That is so very well and concisely said, it deserves it's own OP

Sadly, I said this MANY times in the years 2001-2008, that my worst nightmare was that our next Leader (long before Obama was a blip on the radar) would merely be a placeholder for the Bushie Imperium, who would replicate the mistakes of gutless Democratic predecessors. Specifically Clinton on Iran-Contra & Iraqgate, though I mentioned every one of your examples at one time or another - as it was so obvious.

Kind of creepy watching it, especially after having such foolish high-hopes for Obama & his administration against the Corporate Media/RW Lie Machine Fusion and the rest of the Corporate Infrastructure of Power that now dominates damned near every aspect of our political system.

There can be no doubt that we are 100% correct in our assessment.

The only question left is, in 2013 (and 2017 is possible but unlikely in that the Bushies, who remain essentially the true Rulers of America, seem to be moving VERY fast indeed as they get closer to whatever their Final Solution will be) and on, will the American Corporatists be the same as their antecedents, the 1920s and 30s German Industrialists, and lose control of what they create.

Will we see in our lifetimes actual CLASSICAL Totalitarianism from our future Bushie Overlords, or will they be able to maintain the hothouse flower of current "plausibly deniable" Inverted Totalitarianism in the face of future building of societal stressors, many of which they personally cultivated through the Corporate Media/RW Lie Machine Fusion?

We get to watch it unfold, whether we want to or not.
