Knowing that this world is owned and run by psychopaths has nothing to do with "having it all figured out". Making such a ridiculous statement suggests to me that you are emotionally reacting and not thinking. Also, If you don't know this pretty fundamental fact about our world, you haven't been paying any attention. If you do know it, then how can you reconcile this knowledge with the hope that a presidential candidate can make any difference, which would contradict this knowledge?AquariusRising said:I am glad it is 'only part of the reason'. If you have it all figured out, that is good for you. I will wait and see.
Why not? Do you understand the role of Israel in the world today? If you do not, you have not been paying any attention.AquariusRising said:Anart, I do not think "that is all I need to know".Anart said:The fact of the matter is that Obama has already pledged his full support to Israel, and in the broader perspective, that is all you need to know in order to See that he will not, nor will any of the other 'candidates' change anything, objectively, for the 'better'.
How can you base your judgement on the character of a psychopath, when his character is a mask?AquariusRising said:I will base my judgment of his character on more than whether he supports Israel.
Of course not, but there are a lot of things he can say that is a gray area between the 2 extremes of complete support for Israel and not giving a hoot.AquariusRising said:In a city(D.C)/nation where the Israel lobby is so strong would you have him as a strategy say he doesn’t give a hoot for Israel?
What does religion have to do with anything? This statement suggests to me that you really don't understand the role of Israel, and therefore the significance of Anart's statement that it really is all you need to know in a broader sense.AquariusRising said:Though, I can not speak for him, it is my opinion he really doesn’t give hoot about Israel. Religion is not a big “part” of his campaign or identity when compared to other candidates.
While it's perfectly ok to not know something because we're all ignorant of something, it looks to me that you do not even want to know since you did not bother to even ask why Anart would say such a thing, you just ruled it out as irrelevant and wrong without even raising an eyebrow.
It reminds me of the movie Armageddon where AJ had a conversation with the Russian guy, Lev:
AJ: Have you ever heard of Evil Knievel
Lev: No, I never saw Star Wars.
Lev doesn't just not know why AJ said that, but he didn't care to know, AND he made a silly assumption about it too.
That's why he cannot win. And if he does, he will be blowing up children to pieces with bombs whether he likes it or not. Do you think Ron Paul is so naive to not know that he's not in charge? If he really thinks he can make a difference, he's very naive, he is completely ignorant of how the world works, and that is of course not someone that should be put in charge of a large country at all. If he knows he can't, if he knows he'll be just another puppet, then why is he running for president? It seems our 2 choices are - either he's an idiot, and so, incompetent to be president simply because of his lack of understanding of the world itself, or he consciously agrees to be a puppet of the PTB. What other options do you see?AquariusRising said:If Ron Paul were to win, do you think he could make a difference? Possibly? How? He may/will have to cater to the PTB, however could he blow children to pieces with bombs? Could he shatter the lives of millions of families like Dick Cheney has? I think not........and that is the difference.
Somebody mentioned that he is simply a distraction, to create the illusion that the system still works, that someone like Ron Paul can be running for president, and because he's even allowed to run, this proves that the system works, it is ok. If he doesn't win, it's because America isn't ready to elect him of course. All those who see the horrors of the world will be told to put their energy into supporting Ron instead of other activities that might actually have a chance to change something. I think that's the most likely scenario, that he's just another honey pot. Whether he knows this, or whether he's dumb enough to really think he has a chance sort of becomes irrelevant then, because his role wouldn't change.
In fact, if he has any brains at all, and any heart, he'll drop out completely of this race. He wouldn't want to distract people and give them false hope that he could possibly win. So either he has no brains, or no heart.
