Have you ever wondered why Putin alway’s looks like he has his hand in the cookie jar?
It’s because he has been “blueprinting” our perverted Democracy, he is using the same methods as the fracking industry the gmo group and every other entity that is abusing our country by
purchasing the people that can get it done for them.
We as a nation are not a very good roll model and haven’t been for some time.
It is my opinion that Putin has owned Viktor for at least the last two years and most of the funds that are missing were used for propaganda setting this whole thing up. Viktor needs to be
careful, he only has two way’s to go he will either end up the president of Ukraine or will die from some mysterious illness because he knows too much. If he did the propaganda properly the people of Ukraine will be asking to be part of Russia and all of this noise is pissin in the wind and a complete waste of time.
The money has already been spent and buyers remorse is not an option.
It’s little scenarios like this that should make it clear that we need to concentrate the majority of our efforts on getting the funding problem out of our politics, the rest will take care of itself.
The only thing that will have any effect on any of our major problems including: GMO’s, Fracking, Global Warming ETC. is ELECTION REFORM.
In conclusion-One other thing that could be of help would be to get rid of a bunch of Inferior court judges (good luck with that one).

Mueller's favorite place to pray (written about in "Prophet's Way"), and the roof of the room where the Last Supper is reputed to have happened.
From Screwed:
"The powers that be are running roughshod over the powers that OUGHT to be. Hartmann tells us what went wrong — and what you and I can do to help set American right again."
From Cracking the Code:
"Thom Hartmann ought to be bronzed. His new book sets off from the same high plane as the last and offers explicit tools and how-to advice that will allow you to see, hear, and feel propaganda when it's directed at you and use the same techniques to refute it. His book would make a deaf-mute a better communicator. I want him on my reading table every day, and if you try one of his books, so will you."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Right through the worst of the Bush years and into the present, Thom Hartmann has been one of the very few voices constantly willing to tell the truth. Rank him up there with Jon Stewart, Bill Moyers, and Paul Krugman for having the sheer persistent courage of his convictions."
The voice of the People is centered in the vote. It is truly the People speaking to the government. If money is suggested to be speech, that corruption can be used by the wealthy to suppress the People's will as expressed in the electoral process. Not only does combined money/speech give the rich a disproportionate share of the debate, it will eventually saturate the media and crowd out all other speech and views not their own. The free exchange of ideas, so dear to the founding fathers, will be destroyed along with our representative democracy which depends on it.
