3. thanks. interesting, would like to read the book.

He's a Democrat, even though he voted for Reagan 2X. Says the current MIC, Pentagon, Spy agencies have a secret life of their own. Brian Lamb is really going over his voting record, almost as if to try to discredit him. :mad:

5. Amazing! Highly suggested viewing.

This man is on top of it.

His comments on the media were dynamite. He said that if one knows what's going on in the world, and they then watch the evening news, it's as though they are saying just the opposite of the truth.

And he was so accurate when he said that 9/11 changed nothing, politically. And we should have declared an emergency, not a war.

Sadly, he is not optimistic about America.

And I am most disturbed that he sees no candidates that he is excited about. Gee, that one hurt.

8. His take on current candidates did kind of hurt, but after thinking about

his points about the military industrial complex and the state of our democracy, I can understand his pessimism. He did seem to think that the people would have to want to make the changes, too.
