Fellow, there was a guy in the house named James Trafficant. He had a shady past and expressed our interests probably near as much as Ron Paul has on the floor. He was also not all that good of a judge of character, and his enemies got someone on the inside of his organisation and brought him down. The People were pissed, with a fairly good faction of them attempting to reelect him even as he sat in prison.
The difference Ron Paul enjoys is that he is squeaky clean, basically untouchable. They have no doubt been looking for skeletons in his closet for decades. They wiil go to those lengths. Actually when it comes to Trafficant, they watched him for a good decade before even thinking of charging him. They had no evidence. They had wiretaps for years and came up with nothing, something he did mention at his trial. But one person authorized a disbursement from his office to a lawyer, and somehow that was some sort of conflict of interest or something like that. That is all that is proven.
Ron Paul was lucky to have been squeaky clean all his life. They can't touch him, and you know they would like to. People simply usually can't get into positions of power honestly. It takes a bit more, like an edge. And if you make it, your life may be in danger. Not very attractive as a career choice anymore is it ?
That's why I expect very little from politicians, they can only do so much. It is as if tyhey have the sword of Damacles right over their head, but then I think most of them do. I myself have run that game. "I know what you did and I haven't said a word, now I need someone to.........". Been there done that, and that is the way the world is run from behind the scenes.
And from a very old book, one statement that stands out now over thirty years after I first read it :
Knowledge is power, and knowledge shared is power lost.
Extortion on this scale happens every day. Just because I may have done it does not make it right. What "they" have done to this country was not right. And they operate with impunity because they know which closets contain those skeletons. After that comes the lobbyists. Money talks.
And then if the puppets happen to have a spare moment, they might find the time to think about the sheeple who elected them, maybe, if we are lucky. They are busy people serving these other interests. Interests that helped them get into the position for one, and those who grease the wheels. We come in thrid at best. But not with Ron Paul, or James Trafficant. There are a few others who are actually on our side, but they are in the minority to say the least.
They work hard, but for whom ?
