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).

From Screwed:
"If we are going to live in a Democracy, we need to have a healthy middle class. Thom Hartmann shows us how the ‘cons’ have wronged this country, and tells us what needs to be done to reclaim what it is to be American."
From Screwed:
"Hartmann speaks with the straight talking clarity and brilliance of a modern day Tom Paine as he exposes the intentional and systematic destruction of America’s middle class by an alliance of political con artists and outlines a program to restore it. This is Hartmann at his best. Essential reading for those interested in restoring the institution that made America the envy of the world."
From Unequal Protection, 2nd Edition:
"If you wonder why and when giant corporations got the power to reign supreme over us, here’s the story."
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.
