Does anyone wonder where our candidates for President come from? Who chooses the people who will be running in the primaries and then in the general? Sure it was the American people who voted Barack to be the Democratic candidate over Hilary, however it wasn't us who chose who we wanted to pick between. Dennis Kucinich and Bill Richardson never had a chance, same can be said of Mick Huckabee and Ron Paul. We knew before the primaries even began that it would be either Barack or Hilary VS either Mitt or John. Is that real choice? No all that is, is the dichotomy of a two party system. It is a bunch of pawns being put in to place, to allow the American people to feel a semblance of control over our system. The truth is no matter who won between the four front runners true change will never occur. We will still have an imperialistic military playing Risk with the world. We will still have a Federal Reserve taking loans from the World Bank in order to print money out of thin air to distribute to the American people. We will still have corporate media control of the majority of TV and print news that makes up most people's opinions on the world around them. We will still have secret meetings between high ranking government officials, CEO's, royalty and billionaire investors in order to make decisions about the things we believe our government is actually in control of. We will still have 1 percent of the population controlling 90 percent of the wealth. Maybe, just maybe if we're lucky we'll get some semblance of universal health care, start moving towards energy independence, and begin to intelligently use science to our benefit under an Obama administration, but the change we truly need to get this country out of it's downward spiral of weakening civil rights, economic woes, and military over extension hasn't been mentioned once by any of the candidates the media has focused on.
True Change will not come about until the people of the world stand up and demand it!
