Of the current crop of Republican President candidates, all of them, except for Ron Paul, are whores and puppets for international Bankers and International Corporations (I call them Cosmodemonic Transnational Megacorporations).

It doesn't matter if Obama is re-elected, or if Romney gets in, or Gingrich, or any of the other sleazes. Nothing will change, since there isn't a dime's worth of difference between any of them. No matter who is elected, there will be only minor, cosmetic changes. And the believers in politics will be stunned at this, as they always are.

All of the naive were shocked when Mr. Hope and Change turned out to be a continuation of George Bush, but I wasn't. None of the current crop are adults, not totally. And that's the problem.

What makes Paul different? For on thing, he's a doctor, whereas all the others have become rich sucking at the public tit and avoiding real work. Paul also understands the importance of political and economic liberty. The others pretend they do, but in reality they don't.

Paul is actually an Elder, which every society needs and which we barely have. The Elders have always been mentors and teachers of the young. Where are they now? They barely exist.

Although I am not Catholic, at least the last few Popes have been Elders -- teachers and mentors. Among Protestants, who is there? Obese blasphemers like John Hagee?

We no longer have Elders either religious or political. They barely exist in grade schools, middle school, high school, and college. There are some, but not all that many.

When people want to destroy a society, the first thing they do is kill the Elders. Then that society is lost. There's an old saying about it -- "kill the head and the body will fall."

I cannot remember having one mentor -- Wise Elder -- growing up. Most people cannot remember any, either. Much of the time those who pass themselves off as Elders are fools who don't know what they are talking about.

Robert Bly once wrote a book about a society in which there are no Elders. He called such a society (and the book) The Sibling Society. There are few adults and even fewer Elders in such a society. Many people are semi-adults. That's why Bly called them "siblings."

One of the reason for the destruction of the Elder system is the expansion of the State. The State, with its lies and mass murder and theft, is now supposed to be the omnipotent Wise Elder -- a mother and father that know all and give all. Those who believe this always find out how deluded they are.

This is a problem most people only vaguely understand, because we lost our Elders so long ago. These days, some people never completely grow up. And because of it society goes backward, and becomes more and more coarse and degraded. And one of the reasons is because we're being ruled by children.

Which is exactly as I predicted long before he was (s)Elected. Of course the true beeeeeeeeeeliever Obamabots did not want to hear it as they were swept up in Oh'bummer's Marketing PsyOps Campaign.

We're being ruled by idiots who can't express one coherent thought.

“With the exception of Whites, the rule among the peoples of the world, whether residing in their homelands or settled in Western democracies, is ethnocentrism and moral particularism: they stick together and good means what is good for their ethnic group."

Ain't it the truth. And hell, it ain't just a problem at the top either. This whole nation has gone bonkers with semi adults irresponsibly given authority. A system like that where elderly teenagers run the show can only end badly.
