Thanks,
With regard to your comment on Ron Paul being the *almost good guy* - I see the classic "good cop bad cop" routine play out in each election.
Even where I live (London UK) we got the Pig shagger in power now.
Seriously, I honestly am pleased I haven't voted for anyone in the past 15 years... I recall someone tried to convince me to vote because it increases my "experian/equifax" credit rating... What the heck do I want loans for? I don't play that game of Riba (interest) so meh.
They trick up these games to make us vote - they need our vote - don't vote, and you take the power away from them.
Imagine if 75% of Americans lost confidence in the voting system and decided against voting? I guess those black caskets the Obama adminsitration paraded around would be back again, a fear mechanic designed to subdue the people into voting and not revolt.
Funky eh?

Yeah, you've definitely got a good point with the whole good cop, bad cop paradigm. The PTB certainly have used this template many times before and we all fall for it every single time, lol (or most of us and at least and not you!

)
Maybe Dr. Paul was only playing his role in a sense. I've heard this before actually by some skeptics in the States. It's also like the whole "limited hangout" concept that various elites use at times to try to pull the wool over people's eyes, as if wow, we're really learning about some new "big" secrets (not!) of the Deep State or other elites (IMO, Snowden and Wikileaks might fall in this category). Haha. When will we stop being so gullible? lol
Yeah, Cameron, I had to think, where have I heard that expression. Of course various elites (including various factions of Intelligence Services) probably had the goods on him (I'm sure they've got a lot worse though), like they do probably on a lot of these politicians, deciding to save this blackmail material for a convenient time "just in case" (i.e. if they feel that they're maybe getting a little too "independent" or whatever)
But of course you guys got that in London, because the British/Rothschild Empire were of course not the first ones to use these kinds of various psy-ops, but they kinda tweaked it and set whole new "standards" for others to try to emulate. I'm halfway joking of course, because these things have been going on for a very, very long time.
But yeah, they do try to trick you into voting and of course when you tell them you don't vote they (and I mean the average Joe or Yusuf, and they're being sincere) try to use emotional blackmail saying but if you don't vote you can't criticize the policies or complain, etc., blah blah blah. Yeah like all the high taxes that they're robbing you with doesn't give you a right to be able to complain! LOL. And you gotta work 2,3 jobs just to pay the flippin' bills, and be able to feed your family. And yet we can't "complain." But yeah, that's a new one for me - actually talking about your credit scores improving! Yeah they must really be getting desperate.
True about Obama and the people not voting, but unfortunately, most people in the States still seem to be fooled by this whole worn out, every 4 years, "right-left" dialectic.
