I wrote this about 8 months before the election...
Greetings To All:
We all know this is a very monumental time, with the elections and what-not. Being the socially conscious and information-hawk that I am, I thought I would pass along some very pertinent info.
Attached is a Word Document, with info I have been compiling. I encourage you all to view it, and feel free to share your thoughts and perspectives, as well as passing it along to others who might be interested. Dialogue is always welcomed!!

*******************************************************
I've been constantly bombarded over the past several months, with "encouragement" (at best) and admonishment (at worst) to go vote, and/or to participate in the US governmental electoral process. At work, in the streets, in the gym, at the grocery store.... People are even invading my privacy, by sticking little pamphlets under my door at home.
Some of you know my views on voting, the info (agendas) behind it, some of you don't. I won't go into that here.
However, I do believe, that a vote, assuming it has value at all, is a declared decision.
dictionary.reference.com/browse/vote
1. a formal expression of opinion or choice, either positive or negative, made by an individual or body of individuals.
2. the means by which such expression is made, as a ballot, ticket, etc.
3. the right to such expression: to give women the vote.
4. the decision reached by voting, as by a majority of ballots cast: The vote was for the resolution.
5. a collective expression of will as inferred from a number of votes: the labor vote.
6. an expression, as of some judgment: a vote of confidence.
–verb (used without object)
7. to express or signify will or choice in a matter, as by casting a ballot: to vote for president.
Thus, a vote is something that should not be taken lightly, nor should it be committed without being an informed decision.
Many of us are not informed, specifically African Americans, whom in particular, the issue of voting is especially sensitive and significant.
Many of us, especially during this current election, are more emotionally attached to the issue of voting, rather than intellectually informed about it. We let well-written speeches from handsome, charming delegates and their wives sway us. We let the demographic issues of race and gender sway us. We let controversial speeches and sermons from preachers sway us.
However, sadly, many of us do not let issues such as foreign policy, immigration, taxes, discrimination, alternative fuel, etc sway us. These are the issues--THE ONLY ISSUES--that we should be concerned with. However, most of us aren't, and I could point to some elaborate "conspiracy" as to why that is the case, but I won't (at least not here, LOL).
Would you buy a car, just because it looks nice? Because it's the leading name? Aren't there more pertinent factors involved in a car purchase, such as: how many MPG, industry recalls, safety, affordability, etc. We get caught up in the sensationalism vs the pragmatism.
Many of us are divided in one direction or another regarding the Democratic Vote. Obama or Clinton. The nice Black Guy, vs the assertive Woman. It seems that the former might very well win the day.
However, just how "nice" is Obama? He tells us that he is going to "make a change".... How is that to be accomplished? And with whom shall he accomplish it?
A presidential administration is not just the the president him/herself. Many of us do not realize that when you vote in a President, you are not just voting him (or her!) in alone. You are also voting in their board of advisors. Most people would perhaps have thought twice, if they knew that, along with voting Bush into office, they were also voting in Condoleeza, aka "sleezy Condoleezy", Colin Powel, aka "Colon Cleanser", Donald Rumsfeld, aka "Gin Rummy", and the rest.
But what about Obama's advisors? Are they any less suspect? Or, are they the "Usual Suspects"?
Lets find out:
Zbigniew Brzezinski
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zbigniew_Brzezinski
Major foreign policy events during his term of office included the normalization of relations with the People's Republic of China (and the severing of ties with the Republic of China), the signing of the second Strategic Arms Limitation Treaty (SALT II), the brokering of the Camp David Accords, the transition of Iran to an anti-Western Islamic state, encouraging reform in Eastern Europe, emphasizing human rights in U.S. foreign policy, the arming of the mujaheddin in Afghanistan[2] to fight against the Soviet-friendly Afghan government and later to counter the Soviet invasion, and the signing of the Torrijos-Carter Treaties relinquishing U.S. control of the Panama Canal after 1999.
He also became a member of the Council on Foreign Relations in New York and attended meetings of the Bilderberg Group.
Brzezinski is one of Senator Barack Obama's foreign policy advisers for the presidential campaign of 2008.
Some words from Mr. Brzezinski:
www.organicconsumers.org/articles/article_10577.cfm
[On Democracy Now, independent journalist Allan Nairn and American Conservative correspondent Kelley Beaucar Vlahos]
ALLAN NAIRN: Well, Obama's top adviser is Zbigniew Brzezinski. Brzezinski gave an interview to the French press a number of years ago where he boasted about the fact that it was he who created the whole Afghan jihadi movement, the movement that produced Osama bin Laden. And he was asked by the interviewer, "Well, don't you think this might have had some bad consequences?" And Brzezinski replied, "Absolutely not. It was definitely worth it, because we were going after the Soviets. We were getting the Soviets." Another top Obama person. . .
AMY GOODMAN: I think his comment actually was, "What's a few riled-up Muslims?" And this, that whole idea of blowback, the idea of arming, financing, training the Mujahideen in Afghanistan to fight the Soviets, including Osama bin Laden, and then when they're done with the Soviets, they set their sights, well, on the United States.
ALLAN NAIRN: Right. And later, during Bill Clinton's administration, during the Bosnia killing, the US actually flew some of the Afghan Mujahideen, the early al-Qaeda people--the US actually arranged for them to be flown from there to Bosnia to fight on the Muslim/NATO side.
So, some key points about Brzezinski:
• He was responsible for many reprehensible acts in US history
• He has worked on both sides of the political fence (Dem and Rep), so which side is he on?
• He is/was a member of the CFR and the Bilderbergs. Watch those names come up again.
Next up:
ANTHONY LAKE:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthony_Lake
Lake joined the State Department in 1962, serving until 1970 as a Foreign Service Officer. Lake was an assistant to Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge, Jr. during the Vietnam War. His State Department career included assignments as consul in Saigon, South Vietnam (1963), vice consul in Huế (1964-1965) and special assistant to the assistant to the president for national security affairs (1969-1970) in the Nixon administration. In 1969, he accompanied National Security Advisor Henry Kissinger on his first secret meeting with North Vietnamese negotiators in Paris. In 1970, he had a falling-out with Kissinger over the Nixon administration's Cambodian Campaign and later wrote a book critical of Kissinger's approach to Africa.
During the 1992 presidential campaign, he was one of Clinton's chief foreign policy advisers. During the 1994 genocide in Rwanda the administration ignored the clear knowledge of these acts and supported the removal of 90% of the UN force that attempted to stop the killings. Following Clinton's 1996 reelection, Lake was nominated to become the Director of the Central Intelligence Agency, but his nomination was withdrawn due to Republican opposition. It has also been reported that the failure of his nomination was related to his decision to withdraw support at the last minute for an Iraqi coup that might have removed Saddam without U.S. intervention. Others speculate that Lake's nomination failed because he faltered when asked about the innocence or guilt of Alger Hiss, in spite of the release of Venona information that had demonstrated Hiss' guilt.
Lake is currently a foreign policy adviser for Barack Obama's 2008 presidential campaign.
Further info about Anthony Lake:
www.organicconsumers.org/articles/article_10577.cfm
Another key Obama adviser, Anthony Lake: he was the main force behind the US invasion of Haiti in the mid-Clinton years during which they brought back Aristide essentially in political chains, pledged to support a World Bank/IMF overhaul of the economy, which resulted in an increase in malnutrition deaths among Haitians and set the stage for the current ongoing political disaster in Haiti.
Some key points about Lake:
• He was responsible for many reprehensible acts in US history (Iraq, Rwanda, Haiti)
• He has worked on both sides of the political fence (served for Nixon-Rep and Clinton-Dem), so which side is he on?
• He is a supporter of the One World Bank (IMF) an org that cripples 3rd world nations, by keeping the rich very rich, and the poor very poor. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IMF#IMF.2FWorld_Bank_support_of_military_dictatorships
Another Obama Advisor:
MERRILL MCPEAK:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merrill_McPeak
From 1970-73 McPeak was an air operations staff officer for the Mideast Division at Headquarters USAF in Washington. After graduating from the National War College in 1974, he was named assistant deputy commander for operations for the 1st Tactical Fighter Wing at MacDill AFB, Florida. He later (1975-76) was a military fellow with the Council on Foreign Relations in New York City.
In 1976 McPeak contributed an article to Foreign Affairs Journal expressing his views on the Israelis occupation of territories during the 1967 Arab-Israeli War.[1]
In June 1987 McPeak moved to Bergstrom AFB, Texas in the dual roles of 12th Air Force commander and commander of Air Forces for United States Southern Command. A year later he was named commander-in-chief of Pacific Air Forces PACAF. He was appointed Air Force Chief of Staff by President George H.W. Bush in October of 1990, replacing the retiring General Michael Dugan.
McPeak took over as Chief of Staff during the run-up for Operation Desert Shield, and assisted in overall strategic planning for Operation Desert Storm. His tenure also saw major reduction in force as a result of the end of the Cold War; during his time as Chief of Staff, he oversaw the disbandment of Strategic Air Command, Air Force Systems Command and Air Force Communications Command, with assets transferred primarily to Air Combat Command, Air Mobility Command, Air Force Materiel Command and the Air Force Communications Agency.
In 1996, McPeak served as Oregon state chairman for the Bob Dole for President campaign. During the presidential election of 2000 McPeak endorsed George W. Bush and served as co-chairman of Oregon Veterans for Bush.[3]
He now is working as a co-chair on Barack Obama's presidential campaign.
More info on McPeak:
www.organicconsumers.org/articles/article_10577.cfm
Another Obama adviser, General Merrill McPeak, an Air Force man, who not long after the Dili massacre in East Timor in '91 that you and I survived, he was--I happened to see on Indonesian TV shortly after that--there was General McPeak overseeing the delivery to Indonesia of US fighter planes.
Key info about McPeak:
• He was responsible for many reprehensible acts in US history (invasion of Iraq, support of the persecution of Arabs in Israel, etc)
• He has worked on both sides of the political fence (Endorsing both Bob Dole and working for GW Bush), so which side is he on?
• He is a member of the Council of Foreign Relations.
Another Key Advisor:
DENNIS ROSS:
Dennis B. Ross is an American author and political figure who served as the director for policy planning in the State Department under President George H.W. Bush and special Middle East coordinator under President Bill Clinton. The envoy and chief negotiator under both Republican and Democratic presidents, Ross was integral in shaping U.S. involvement in the Middle East peace process during his tenure.
For more than twelve years, Ross played a leading role in shaping U.S. involvement in the Middle East peace process and in dealing directly with the negotiations. Ross was responsible in both the G.H.W. Bush and Clinton administrations for exploring ways to settle the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. As an architect of the peace process, he helped the Israelis and Palestinians in reaching the 1995 Interim Agreement on the West Bank and the Gaza Strip and brokered the Protocol Concerning the Redeployment in Hebron in 1997. He facilitated the Israel-Jordan Treaty of Peace and also worked on talks between Israel and Syria.
Prior to his service as Special Middle East Coordinator under President Clinton, Ross served as Director of the State Department's Policy Planning office during the G.H.W Bush administration. In that position, he played a prominent role in US policy toward the former Soviet Union, the unification of Germany and its integration into NATO, arms control negotiations, and the development of the Gulf War coalition. He served as director of Near East and South Asian Affairs on the National Security Council staff during the Ronald Reagan administration, and as Deputy Director of the Pentagon's Office of Net Assessment.
More info about Ross:
www.organicconsumers.org/articles/article_10577.cfm
Another key Obama adviser, Dennis Ross. Ross, for many years under both Clinton and Bush 2, a key--he has advised Clinton and both Bushes. He oversaw US policy toward Israel/Palestine. He pushed the principle that the legal rights of the Palestinians, the rights recognized under international law, must be subordinated to the needs of the Israeli government--in other words, their desires, their desires to expand to do whatever they want in the Occupied Territories. And Ross was one of the people who, interestingly, led the political assault on former Democratic President Jimmy Carter. . .
Key Points about Ross:
• He was responsible for many reprehensible acts in US history (support of the persecution of Arabs in Israel, etc)
• He has worked on both sides of the political fence (working for both Bushes, Reagan, Clinton, and now Obama), so which side is he on?
• He is a member of the Council of Foreign Relations. www.cfr.org/publication/7458/council_on_foreign_relations_panel_discussion.html
So just who/what is the CFR?
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Council_on_Foreign_Relations
The Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) is an nonpartisan foreign policy membership organization founded in 1921 and based at 58 East 68th Street (corner Park Avenue) in New York City, with an additional office in Washington, D.C. Through its membership, meetings, and studies, it has been called the most powerful agent of United States foreign policy outside the State Department.[citation needed] It publishes the bi-monthly journal Foreign Affairs. It has an extensive website, featuring links to its think tank, The David Rockefeller Studies Program, other programs and projects, publications, history, biographies of notable directors and other board members, corporate members, and press releases.
Even from its inception, John D. Rockefeller, Jr. was a regular benefactor, making annual contributions, as well as a large gift of money towards its first headquarters on East 65th Street, along with corporate donors (Perloff 156). In 1944, the widow of the Standard Oil executive Harold I. Pratt donated the family's four-story mansion on the corner of 68th Street and Park Avenue for council use and this became the CFR's new headquarters, known as The Harold Pratt House, where it remains today.
Several of Rockefeller's sons joined the council when they came of age; David Rockefeller joined the council as its youngest-ever director in 1949 and subsequently became chairman of the board from 1970 to 1985; today he serves as honorary chairman.[21] The major philanthropic organization he founded with his brothers in 1940, the Rockefeller Brothers Fund, has also provided funding to the Council, from 1953 to at least 1980.[22]
The Council served as a "breeding ground" for important American policies such as mutual deterrence, arms control, and nuclear non-proliferation.
There are two types of membership: life, and term membership, which lasts for 5 years and is available to those between 30 and 36. Only U.S. citizens (native born or naturalised) and permanent residents who have applied for U.S. citizenship are eligible. A candidate for life membership must be nominated in writing by one Council member and seconded by a minimum of three others.[28]
Corporate membership (250 in total) is divided into "Basic", "Premium" ($25,000+) and "President's Circle" ($50,000+). All corporate executive members have opportunities to hear distinguished speakers, such as overseas presidents and prime ministers, chairmen and CEOs of multinational corporations, and U.S. officials and Congressmen. President and premium members are also entitled to other benefits, including attendance at small, private dinners or receptions with senior American officials and world leaders
The CFR is seen in conspiracy theorist circles to be helping implement the idea of a one world government, and lends its ideals to the idea of a New World Order. Many of its powerful members have gone on record stating that they wish to implement a one world government.

These people all sit on the same side. Don't believe that Obama is with this cabal?
obama.senate.gov/speech/051122-moving_forward/index.php
www.cfr.org/bios/11603/
The information about this goes on and on. I've only presented the basic highlights. The reality is, if you are not a political science major, you could be reading for years about this (as I have) and still not scratch the surface. However, what I've learned on the subject, has satisfied me to the degree of not being interested in the games of powerful men (and women), and how they control the lives of the masses, and deceive us into believing that we matter to them.
These people switch sides when it's convenient. And that's because there is no "sides", there's only one "side". "The King is dead; long live the King!", as they say. Still think your vote counts? Still think Obama is "our man for change"?
Perhaps he is for change, but not in a good way. When you "vote" (see the definition from the top) someone in, you are signing off on all their actions, good and bad. Find out who--and WHAT-- you are voting for, before you do so.... And especially before you encourage others to do so, and condemn others for not doing so.
Perhaps what I have shared here will sway you in some way, maybe it won't. My only interest is empowering people with knowledge..... Something I can guarantee that Obama isn't interested in doing.
SHAH
And then, out comes this documentary, THE OBAMA DECEPTION:
Wow, yet another CFR croney....
Do the knowledge, peace.

As an architect of the peace process, he helped the Israelis and Palestinians in reaching the 1995 Interim Agreement on the West Bank and the Gaza Strip and brokered the Protocol Concerning the Redeployment in Hebron in 1997. He facilitated the Israel-Jordan Treaty of Peace and also worked on talks between Israel and Syria.
Prior to his service as Special Middle East Coordinator under President Clinton, Ross served as Director of the State Department's Policy Planning office during the G.H.W Bush administration. In that position, he played a prominent role in US policy toward the former Soviet Union, the unification of Germany and its integration into NATO, arms control negotiations, and the development of the Gulf War coalition. He served as director of Near East and South Asian Affairs on the National Security Council staff during the Ronald Reagan administration, and as Deputy Director of the Pentagon's Office of Net Assessment.

Another key Obama adviser, Dennis Ross. Ross, for many years under both Clinton and Bush 2, a key--he has advised Clinton and both Bushes. He oversaw US policy toward Israel/Palestine. He pushed the principle that the legal rights of the Palestinians, the rights recognized under international law, must be subordinated to the needs of the Israeli government--in other words, their desires, their desires to expand to do whatever they want in the Occupied Territories. And Ross was one of the people who, interestingly, led the political assault on former Democratic President Jimmy Carter. . .
Key Points about Ross:
• He was responsible for many reprehensible acts in US history (support of the persecution of Arabs in Israel, etc)
• He has worked on both sides of the political fence (working for both Bushes, Reagan, Clinton, and now Obama), so which side is he on?
• He is a member of the Council of Foreign Relations. www.cfr.org/publication/7458/council_on_foreign_relations_panel_discussion.html
So just who/what is the CFR?
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Council_on_Foreign_Relations
The Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) is an nonpartisan foreign policy membership organization founded in 1921 and based at 58 East 68th Street (corner Park Avenue) in New York City, with an additional office in Washington, D.C. Through its membership, meetings, and studies, it has been called the most powerful agent of United States foreign policy outside the State Department.[citation needed] It publishes the bi-monthly journal Foreign Affairs. It has an extensive website, featuring links to its think tank, The David Rockefeller Studies Program, other programs and projects, publications, history, biographies of notable directors and other board members, corporate members, and press releases.
Even from its inception, John D. Rockefeller, Jr. was a regular benefactor, making annual contributions, as well as a large gift of money towards its first headquarters on East 65th Street, along with corporate donors (Perloff 156). In 1944, the widow of the Standard Oil executive Harold I. Pratt donated the family's four-story mansion on the corner of 68th Street and Park Avenue for council use and this became the CFR's new headquarters, known as The Harold Pratt House, where it remains today.
Several of Rockefeller's sons joined the council when they came of age; David Rockefeller joined the council as its youngest-ever director in 1949 and subsequently became chairman of the board from 1970 to 1985; today he serves as honorary chairman.[21] The major philanthropic organization he founded with his brothers in 1940, the Rockefeller Brothers Fund, has also provided funding to the Council, from 1953 to at least 1980.[22]
The Council served as a "breeding ground" for important American policies such as mutual deterrence, arms control, and nuclear non-proliferation.
There are two types of membership: life, and term membership, which lasts for 5 years and is available to those between 30 and 36. Only U.S. citizens (native born or naturalised) and permanent residents who have applied for U.S. citizenship are eligible. A candidate for life membership must be nominated in writing by one Council member and seconded by a minimum of three others.[28]
Corporate membership (250 in total) is divided into "Basic", "Premium" ($25,000+) and "President's Circle" ($50,000+). All corporate executive members have opportunities to hear distinguished speakers, such as overseas presidents and prime ministers, chairmen and CEOs of multinational corporations, and U.S. officials and Congressmen. President and premium members are also entitled to other benefits, including attendance at small, private dinners or receptions with senior American officials and world leaders
The CFR is seen in conspiracy theorist circles to be helping implement the idea of a one world government, and lends its ideals to the idea of a New World Order. Many of its powerful members have gone on record stating that they wish to implement a one world government.

These people all sit on the same side. Don't believe that Obama is with this cabal?

The information about this goes on and on. I've only presented the basic highlights. The reality is, if you are not a political science major, you could be reading for years about this (as I have) and still not scratch the surface. However, what I've learned on the subject, has satisfied me to the degree of not being interested in the games of powerful men (and women), and how they control the lives of the masses, and deceive us into believing that we matter to them.
These people switch sides when it's convenient. And that's because there is no "sides", there's only one "side". "The King is dead; long live the King!", as they say. Still think your vote counts? Still think Obama is "our man for change"?
Perhaps he is for change, but not in a good way. When you "vote" (see the definition from the top) someone in, you are signing off on all their actions, good and bad. Find out who--and WHAT-- you are voting for, before you do so.... And especially before you encourage others to do so, and condemn others for not doing so.
Perhaps what I have shared here will sway you in some way, maybe it won't. My only interest is empowering people with knowledge..... Something I can guarantee that Obama isn't interested in doing.
SHAH
And then, out comes this documentary, THE OBAMA DECEPTION:
Wow, yet another CFR croney....
Do the knowledge, peace.
