I don't think we really know who runs the nation.

-----------------------------

“Since I entered politics, I have chiefly had men's
views confided to me privately. Some of the biggest
men in the United States —in the fields of commerce
and manufacturing—are afraid of somebody. They know
that there is a power somewhere so organized, so
subtle, so watchful, so interlocked, so complete, so
pervasive, that they had better not speak above their
breath when they speak in condemnation of it.” -
Woodrow Wilson

“A financial element in the large centers has owned
the government since the days of Andrew Jackson.” -
Franklin Roosevelt

“We are on the verge of a global transformation. All
we need is the right major crisis and the nations will
accept the New World Order.” - David Rockefeller

“Today, America would be outraged if UN troops entered
Los Angeles to restore order. Tomorrow they will be
grateful! This is especially true if they were told
that there was an outside threat from beyond, whether
real or promulgated, that threatened our very
existence. It is then that all people of the world
will plead to deliver them from this evil. The one
thing every man fears is the unknown. When presented
with this scenario, individual rights will be
willingly relinquished for the guarantee of their
well-being granted to them by the world government.” -
Henry Kissinger (Bilderburg Conference 1991 Evians,
France)

"The individual is handicapped by coming face to face
with a conspiracy so monstrous he cannot believe it
exists." - Edgar J Hoover

In 1913, Woodrow Wilson signed the Federal Reserve
Act. A few years later he wrote: "I am a most unhappy
man. I have unwittingly ruined my country. A great
industrial nation is controlled by its system of
credit. Our system of credit is concentrated. The
growth of the nation, therefore, and all our
activities are in the hands of a few men. We have come
to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most
completely controlled and dominated Governments in the
civilized world no longer a Government by free
opinion, no longer a Government by conviction and the
vote of the majority, but a Government by the opinion
and duress of a small group of dominant men."

The real rulers of Washington are Invisible and
exercise power from behind the scenes. - Justice Felix
Frankfurter - US Supreme Court Justice

The real menace of our Republic is the invisible
Government which like a giant Octopus, sprawls its
slimy legs over our cities, states, and nation. - John
F. Hylan - Mayor NYC 1918-1925

"Give me control of a Nation's money and I care not
who makes the laws." - Mayer Amschel Bauer
(Rothschild)

"We shall have World Government. Whether or not we
like it. The only Question is whether World Government
will be achieved by conquest or consent." - James Paul
Warburg , Foreign agent for the Rothschild dynasty -
Major Player in the Federal Reserve act scam / Feb.
17, 1950 speaking before the U.S. Senate.

"We are grateful to the Washington Post, the NY Times,
Time Magazine, and other great publications whose
directors have attended our meetings, and respected
their promises of discretion for almost 40 years. It
would have been impossible for us to develop OUR PLAN
for the world if we had been subjected to the lights
of publicity during those years. But, the world is now
more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a
World Government. The supranational sovereignty of an
intellectual ELITE and World Bankers is surely
preferable to the national auto - determination
practiced in past centuries." - David Rockefeller CFR
Kingpin, Founder of the Trilateral Commission, NOW
Godfather / June 1991

"For more than a century, ideological extremists at
either end of the political spectrum have seized upon
well-publicized incidents to attack the Rockefeller
family for the inordinate influence they claim we
wield over American political and economic
institutions. Some even believe we are part of a
secret cabal working against the best interests of the
United States, characterizing my family and me as
'internationalists' and of conspiring with others
around the world to build a more integrated global
political and economic structure - one world, if you
will. If that's the charge, I stand guilty, and I am
proud of it." - David Rockefeller, Memoirs , 2002

“Every time we do something, you tell me America will
do this and will do that . . . I want to tell you
something very clear: Don't worry about American
pressure on Israel . We, the Jewish people, control
America , and the Americans know it.” - Ariel Sharon ,

Answer 3

Corporation and lobbyist usually get what they want, but their interest are narrow and mostly about money. Only on the question immigration have they come into direct conflict of the will of the people, and it is not clear who will win. On Foreign policy the President is in control. and on social issues it is the Court. Congress is the place were the battles are fought. The People only have power when a majority who feel strongly about an issue unite, but that is a rare occurrence.

Answer 4

F: D**k Cheney

He has directly or indirectly made it clear so many times, that

- he is not answerable to Congress, to Supreme Court or to the People
- Lobbyists (including energy and oil companies) are in his one pocket
- Dubya is in his other pocket

Now I will sleep peacefully.

Answer 5

I'm all for generic drugs if they work. (Unfortunately, some simply do not work the same way as the brand name drug - they're finding this is the case with Psychiatric drugs.) However, I also understand the concept of intellectual property and that the company that researched and spent millions discovering and developing a drug should be able to sell it.

But yes, lobbyists run Washington.

Answer 6

Those that run this country are the ones that have the most money, and it doesn't matter which party is in office. Special interest groups run this country. Our politicians are told what to do by special interest groups. Campaign contributions is to white collar what bribes are to the blue collar masses.

Answer 7

Who is in charge of the clattering train?
The axles creak and the couplings strain,
And the pace is hot, and the points are near,
And Sleep has deadened the driver's ear;
And the signals flash through the night in vain,
For Death is in charge of the clattering train.
