If I were Hitler, I would not have tried to take over half of Europe. I would have nationalized the war debt from WW1 and just said "We ain't paying, attack us if you want". and maintained a strong defense.
Russia was going to attack eventually, or at least he thought so. That being the case, why did he start shit ? I can't believe I just heard this last week, but the olman told me that we had lend-lease with Russia. I had heard about it with England, and I believe we are still waiting for our money, but I was totally unaware of the Russian situation.
He said we sent them a shitload of tanks and whatever else, and without us, the Germans would have mowed them down. Imagine if Hitler didn't start his shit, and Russia came knocking. Playing his cards right, there may have been lend-lease with Germany instead. In that case Russia would maybe be part of the neo-Austian empire. He joked that the Russians might be speaking German now, but that was a joke. Any conqueror knows not to try to change the national language of a country you occupy. Try that shit and you will mobilize every Man, Woman and child against you.
Any conqueror knows that you may hold the power, but if you push too hard, the costs of maintaining the occupation could skyrocket. Just take the power, govern the country and don't fuck with the People too much. After while something like the Stockholm syndrome will set in, and they will become loyal. Or at least tolerant and compliant.
In the nasty racist rag called the Protocols, it says that feedom cannot be realized because nobody knows how to use it in moderation, or something like that. (hey, I quote the Bible too)
Well I say the same thing about power. What would happen if by some very strange circumstance I was elected to the Presidency of the US. I know that we are not the penultimate power of the universe we think we are, but that office weilds alot of power. I would say it is within the top ten chairs in the world.
Even that chair can be vacated without much problem, just ask JFK. A while back I was talking to a Black Man, and I only mention that he is Black because they have only been here for a couple hundred years, and what he said was very insightful, very much so.I was impressed.
This was around the time of a Presidential election. He said that after the President gets sworn in, look at his face over the next few months. It will look like he aged five years. That is because they are telling him about all the shit that is going on.
Now being Black, maybe he saw something in White people's faces that I didn't all along. And I don't necessarily attribute that to race, but it could be why.
What he said was quite profound as observations go, but attributing it to the briefings might not be correct. It might be that he doesn't wear as much makeup once he gets in the big chair. Or it could be a combination of both.
Looking at a human face, there are many other attributes than just skin color. It is said that people who have large [appearing] eyes that are set far apart are more likely to ascend to positions of power. Certain types of eyebrows, the shape of the forehead, they are all factors.
So if we continue to choose leaders based on looks, we can get villains. Real easy, seems to have happened. What I read about this was compiled from statistical data, and where the hell they got it I have no idea.
But look at the situation. They always have to look good, WHY ? No matter who is running, when you see them on TV they have just had makeup put on to make them look better. Why do looks matter so much ?
I can understand consideration of looks when choosing a mate. A buddy of mine has a Woman who is butt ugly, but she looks fine to him. He actually thinks guys will go after her, but I talked to her. She has a brain and I think she knows it is a game. Some guys, not in their presence of course, have said "Yikes". If they had said it in either one of their presence they would most likely not be welcome here anymore.
But do her looks make her stupid ? Absolutely not. In fact she is fairly intelligent.
So, as I say that we are doing wrong by even considering looks in choosing leaders, how is that charisma doesn't follow ?
So how about I run my almost butt ugly ass. I am not really ugly but I am not good looking. Then my platform is "I am going to shake the tree". If you have read me before you know what I mean. There will be no new plasma TV in your Christmas stocking, we are going to take steps to reduce the national debt. This might hurt a bit, but it must be done and the sooner the better. If we wait too long we are screwed.
Hard things that we must do, and soon. People losing their house, if the mortgage contract is deemed predatory, the bank must rent the house to the people for what the original payment was. This should not hurt them, the payment was enough before, and to have the place vacant and vulnerable to thieves and vandals is no better. The payment is what it was when you moved in, the only difference is that you are not accruing equity, but you really weren't doing that much anyway.
If the people know they can stay awhile, not for free, but not have to move right now, they will likely want the plumbing and wiring to work and are less likely to steal it for scrap.
But I would say to the banks, YOU gave out the money on the property, YOU took the risk. YOU took alot of risks and won, this time you lost. Deal with it. You will not throw people out of your house (not in these numbers), what are you stupid ? You've got ready made renters who actually did aspire to be homeowners. What more could you ask for ? Collect the rent, they get no equity past what they got once in default, but it's a win win I think.
And I would also go find out where all that fucking oil money is going, and get back as much as possible. The government put up our lives, our fortunes and our reputation to get that oil. By their own law they should not be paying for it at all. Instead of stealing it themselves, they had private firms do it, and enriched their buddies. That oil is the spoils of war, it is ours.
And that is only the beginning of it, the rest would take me a month to type.
But the point is, I would be a villain, to the villains. I would rock their world to say the least. I would surround myself with close friends, literally between me and the secret service agents. Speaking of which, what is so secret about them ? Everybody knows they are there. Sounds like a business I started, it was called Deal Direct, and nothing could be farther from the truth. Customers didn't just come, I dealt through retail outlets.
Does the lie work better than the truth ?
And I say this with all due sincerity, which is alot.
If the lie works better than the truth, it is we who need to get better, not the liar.
I yield the floor.
