I think most people realize that Obama started the race with a very dirty balance sheet. But nobody really knew anything about him except that he had nothing to do with Bush or the neo-cons. And, at the time that was considered more important than anything else.
But it's poorly known in America that European-style socialized health-care costs people more even more than in the states.
Here in France people pay a big chunk out of their monthly salary for the national healthcare. But then people also have to buy a "mutuelle" insurance to pay for all the things the national insurance doesn't cover, and even then the individual is left paying a lot out of his own pocket for things the mutuelle doesn't cover.
Anybody who things socialized medicine makes healthcare more affordable is absolutely clueless.
The most affordable healthcare I've seen was in countries where there was neither socialized medicine nor health insurance... where people pay for healthcare right out of their own pocket. Thus eliminating hundreds of greedy middle-men.
Maybe it had something to do with the fact that nobody in the US wanted Obama's boondoggle but it somehow got shoved down their throats in typical Communist style.
Because some human beings are very very evil, and they already have guns. No use giving them ours as well.
Who's the one bringing up race here. We were talking about communism and dictatorship and lying promises and being in bed with the big banks. Those attributes don't have anything to do with the amount of melanin in Obama's skin.
Critical thinking and "pointing out gaping holes in logic" are exactly what earns someone the label of "conspiracy theorist" in the first place.
If you, Marsman, are critically analyzing people's claims and pointing out faults in the logic of their theories, then YOU are a full-fledged "conspiracy theorist" yourself. Congratulations, and good for you. Wear the label proudly.
People who want the truth are happy to have their logic questioned and their theories examined.
And they don't mind being ridiculed and accused falsely. It comes with the job.
And yes, it does serve as a means of figuring out who's sincere, and who's trying to deceive others.
Logic is logical. And can be recognized as such by people capable of clear thought. (an endangered species nowadays).
But contrary to your assertion, it is not the so-labeled "conspiracy theorists" who generally turn a blind eye to evidence and refuse to discuss issues rationally. Quite the opposite.
Those who refuse any degree of critical scrutiny of their sacred theories are those of the cult of the official lie.
There is apparently also a link to the extremist Chabad Lubavitcher cult (remember mass murderer Baruch Goldstein). Some Ahavat events take place in Chabad centers.
My guess is that Ahavat is actually a Lubavitcher project.
Instead of World War, we'll see the rapid rise of an oppressive and highly dysfunctional world dictatorship accompanied by the same sort of prolonged reign of terror that always marks the rise of a left-wing dictatorship to power. (French Revolution, Lenin, Stalin, Mao, etc).
That darned quote system doesn't seem to work half the time.
My last post should have read thusly.
OP: Belief is belief no matter what belief it is, that is what makes it a belief in the first place - and since placebo explains the process and effect of belief, then what do you believe in? You have any good religions?
Me: Yeah here's one. Try believing that your own personal understanding is the ultimate defining truth, the ultimate "good", the ultimate wisdom, etc. Mock the very concept of belief in anything higher than yourself. Like Narcissus, fall in love with your own reflection.

It should not come as a surprise to anyone that the collapse of the US economy results inevitably in a collapse of the US hegemony.
It's automatic. Weapons, soldiers, military officers, politicians, and all the other instruments of world power are but commodities. They are bought and sold. And they go to the highest bidder.
Rich countries will inevitably gain world power. And poor countries will inevitably lose it.
And the US is now the brokest nation on earth. It lives only by Chinese charity.
China can buy the US government and military. In fact it already has.
Don't imagine a coming showdown between the US and China. Instead, watch for China and the US to form a coalition intended to disarm the last remaining independent nations and bring them under globalist control.
Oops, In my post above the following Ttom text should have been erased before I hit the post button. My bad.
Not one word of this foolishness should be attributed to me.
I say this. Assad is just mouth piece taking orders from Moscow. He takes some small act of rebellion then harshly supresses them. Then a small revolt begins. This 16 months ago.
Then continuing to supress the Sunni, Assad forces have some atrocities and a real civil war begins. Russian and China block the UN resolutions. Iran and Russia rush in support units to Assad. Then this thing really heats up. Turkey has a F-$ shot down. NATO is advised vote to support Turkey. Both side move units to the border.
Kofi Annan UN peace plan for peace is removed and it seems a hopeless situation. Now Russia/China/Iran move naval forces into the area.
First question. How can Naval Forces determine the outcome of a land civil war in Syria? They cannot. Warship are about as much help in Syria's civil war as horse calvary with drawn sabers charge.
Second question. What do Russia and China get with Assad staying power? Syria is a 1000 miles from Russia and 5000 miles from China. Sure Russia get a MED port, Tarsus to use. But Russia has resupply vessels that can refuel and rearm the Russia MED flottila at sea.
The MED has never been what I would call a region of influence for the Chinese. Why do either really care about Assad, other than he is a major buyer of weapons. Even if the Sunni win, they can get weapons sales with the new regime. They will in Egypt.
Third question. Would Iran commit major forces into Syria's Civil war? I mean 200,000 or more. Assad is really man short. He has equipment. But not the man power to use it. If Assad is asking Russia for weapons....eg....tanks....personnel carrier ....I bet he is also asking Iran for major deployment of manpower.
But with all these naval deployments....there is more going on here. Ship in a land war are about useful as .....well a Calvary charge on water.
Well of course. That's been the plan all along. Palestine is the OK Corral of the entire world. The site of the planned showdown.
The Zionists think a coalition of western powers will come to save them. But the globalists plan is to destroy Israel as the foundational act of their new Global Dictatorship. When the showdown comes not one nation will side with Israel.
"Some say"? perhaps. You can find "some" who say just about anything, for a price. But nobody who is honest and informed would make such a ridiculous claim. Iran doesn't even have a breeder reactor. It doesn't have any plutonium. It can't even produce fuel grade uranium. Much less weapons grade uranium.
Your fearmongering claims are the same as those that led up to the attack on Iraq.
There are no Iranian forces in Syria. There are no Russian forces in Syria. The Kurdish forces are anti-Syrian. Al Qaeda is, (and always has been) just a CIA boogeyman force of a couple hundred people at most. Hezbollah is part of the legitimate Lebanese Defense force. The only thing keeping Israel from invading the entire levant. Hamas is an Israeli created and armed organization that was used to steal authority from the PLO and destroy world support for the rights of Palestine.
Why what a coincidence that is. Just when Obama needs a world crisis to boost his popularity one comes along. Sounds practically Bush-esque doesn't it?

It's the same old standard "regime change" plan that the CIA always uses.
1. Create and arm a Contra-type opposition force and use it to kill a lot of civilians and soldiers. 3. Blame the government for the all the violence. 4. Seek to impose international sanctions that prevent the government from effectively quelling the violence. 5. Pay or coerce some individuals to make false claims of brutality. 6. Establish bases just across the border protected by foreign power thereby allowing the insurgents to raid the country from safe havens. 7. Use the international press to continually blame the country's government and mount pressure for the leader's replacement.
Nothing complicated about it. Tried and proven in Asia, South America, Africa, Europe, and just about everywhere else.
From a Japanese guidebook: "When a passenger of the foot heave in sight, tootle the horn. Trumpet at him melodiously at first, but if he still obstacles your passage, then tootle him with vigor.".
Since you brought it up and it does certainly fit what's happening I'll expound a little on SSRI antidepressants. First, they don't really "treat" depression at all, in fact they make it worse, increasing the risk of suicide or violence. They work by preventing the re-uptake of a feel-good neurotransmitter called serotonin. For the first weeks they do make the person feel better, but only because they use up the body's stock of serotonin more quickly. This leads to serotonin depletion and the depression comes back twice as strong because there is less serotonin to react to it. At this point the doctors typically double the dose of the antidepressant trying to squeeze every last drop of feel-good out of the little serotonin that remains. But when it's all gone, it doesn't matter how much SSRI the person takes, there is no comfort to be had, because there is no serotonin left. At this point the poor victim goes psychotic because the calming system of his brain is totally depleted.
So I agree with your suggestion that it's all part of the plan. A large percentage of the people (including many of the police) are chemically conditioned to react to stress in a bizarre unpredicatable manner. So all it takes is a little intentional stress to set off a very predictable chain reaction of escalating violence and psychotic behavior that can then be used as justification for creating even more stress, such as armed searches etc.
The bad guys behind it all think that chaos is a good thing because it allows them to rearrange the world order to suit their own personal interests.
