brilliant. thank u for posting. everything u wanted to know about things u were pretty sure about was happening but was afraid to ask. ever notice those speaking truth to power, speak calm lay out the facts, the sympathizers to power tend to shout and carry on ..insult..spew crap without foundation.

3. They own and operate the mechanisms by which people become informed about such topics. As such, since "democracy" depends on "an alert and knowledgable citizenry", and the power structure owns the distribution points for information (therefore knowledge, therefore wisdom), these imperialists/industrialists/au­tocrats/plutocrats/kleptocrats­, whatever you want to call them, are invincible for all intents and purposes from popular uprising.

My two cents. Hope it helps.

Where is John Buchanan? Rumors are out there that he lives in rural Georgia and is suffering from bipolar disorder. Is there anyone out there who can get me in touch with Mr. Buchanan?

The 1934 attempt to overthrow the govt. by John Pierpoint Morgan, in collusion with the Remington Arms Manufacturing Co., the DuPont family, the Bush family happened... so WHY are these individuals are allow to remain in positions of power??? J.P.Morgan-Chase, DuPont, Remington, Bush family are still around and just as influential than they were back then.

We used to allow corporations to exist in our world, now they barley let us exist in theirs.

Talking Stick is the best. I plan to listen/watch every installment. This is what NPR (yuck) should be.

Americans need to listen to the alternative media, instead of being the gullible sheep for fox, cnn, msnbc.
