Nader's the one --
Are you an authentic human being or a brainwashed media-controlled robot?

consider it one of the clearest indications that Americans are
completely
brainwashed and anesthetized in a consumeristic, media-induced coma that
Ralph Nader, a man who has accomplished much for the actual benefit of
many
Americans, is regarded as the illegitimate presidential candidate who
can't
even get on the ballot in many states, while George W. Bush and John
Kerry,
two privileged patricians who have never even held a job that wasn't
handed
to them by their rich friends, and certainly have never done anything
significantly positive for humanity, are widely recognized as the only
realistic choices for voters in the upcoming election.
Could there be a clearer indication that the majority of the American
population is simply incapable of holding a conversation on their own
without depending on the slyly deceptive media misconceptions they have
been
forcefed all their lives?
Could there be a clearer example of how Americans are narcotized by the
avalanche of consumer images that dog their every step and can't even make
an authentic decision based on what is good for their own well-being?
I don't think so, although there are many other possibilities for the best
example of this - to name just one, sending your children to war in Iraq
for
reasons you know in your heart to be blatant lies. Rephrasing that:
sending
your children to die for lie.
I keep wondering what Nader would have done, imagining he were president
right after 9/11 happened. Can you just imagine him siccing legions of
Nader's Raiders on the World Trade Center rubble to check for anomalies in
the steel core columns to determine why they broke and allowed the
building
to fall? And scrutinizing fires that burned underneath the debris for many
weeks? Those re****ts his Public Citizen troops would surely have written
would have been very interesting. Overly analytical type that he is, you
can
be sure there would have been a very detailed investigation
It's an interesting thing to think about, considering we have had
absolutely
no investigation at all into the greatest crime in American history, a
stupefying insult to our intelligence that has changed the entire
character
of political discourse throughout the world based on a bald-faced lie that
no one seems to have the courage to confront. A stupefying insult to our
intelligence that significantly lessens the chances of every person on the
planet that they will live their lives without being blown up by their own
government.
And yet it's exactly the kind of thing Nader has confronted every day of
his
adult life.
Can you imagine Nader deploying an army of psychiatrists and
(non-fundamental) clergymen on the soldiers returning from Iraq and
requiring them to explain why they would have raped young Iraqi children
in
front of their imprisoned mothers in order to extort tactical military
information from clearly innocent civilians upon orders from Donald
Rumsfeld?
Of course, of course. 9/11 and the Iraq butchery likely never would have
happened had Nader been president. To my knowledge Nader is not intimately
and perversely connected to the petroleum-producing elitists who desire to
see American landmarks in a heap of rubble to increase their already
obscene
income stream.
He's the only candidate I know who talks about the danger of cor****ate
power. He's the only candidate I know who talks about the influence of
Israel on the American government.
I don't need much more information than that to know that puts him head
and
shoulders above Bush and Kerry, who are squarely in the pocket of both
cor****ate power and Israel, the two greatest threats to the well-being of
everyone on earth.
How much more do you need to know? And how brainwashed are you?
I find it very instructive to compare the achievements of Ralph Nader with
the resumés of George W. Bush and John Kerry.
For all the information Nader has compiled to help average consumers, Time
magazine once called him "America's toughest customer."
Though I don't have matching Time quotes for the other two politicians,
you
can just imagine what they might have said. Bush? "Was never successful at
any job he ever had." Kerry? "Bogus war hero who Admiral Elmo Zumwalt once
said needed to be watched carefully because of his penchant for killing
Vietnamese civilians unnecessarily."
Nader has been called one of America's most effective social critics. His
well-documented criticism of government and industry has had a tangible
effect on public awareness and bureaucratic power. His actions have
motivated thousands to become consumer advocates who in turn have
established their own organizations throughout the country.
Nader first made headlines in 1965 with his book Unsafe at Any Speed, a
scathing indictment that lambasted the auto industry for producing unsafe
vehicles. Not many of you remember the Corvair, a gasoline bomb on wheels.
The book led to congressional hearings and a series of automobile safety
laws passed in 1966.
Since 1966, Nader has been responsible for at least eight major federal
consumer protection laws, according to his campaign literature: the motor
vehicle safety laws, Safe Drinking Water Act; the launching of federal
regulatory agencies such as the Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA), Environment Protection Agency (EPA), and Consumer
Product Safety Administration; the recall of millions of defective motor
vehicles; access to government through the Freedom of Information Act of
1974; and for many lives saved.
All these years later Nader is still on the rubber chicken circuit
preaching
about the "imperialism" of multinational cor****ations and of a dangerous
inbreeding of cor****ate and government power. With the passage of
autocratic
trade treaties like the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and
the
new General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT), this merger of
cor****ate
and government interests is escalating. A magazine founded by Nader in
1980,
the Multinational Monitor, tracks the global intrusion of multinational
cor****ations and their impact on developing nations, labor, and the
environment.
Nader has always talked about empowering citizens to create a responsive
government sensitive to citizens' needs. The top of Nader's agenda has
been
detoxing the U.S. civil justice system, particularly in the areas of
product
liability, securities fraud, and medical negligence.
So just compare that impressive record with Bush and Kerry.
Bush? Military deserter, covered up by his father's political connections.
Cocaine addict, arrested in Houston, 1972, trial records made to
disappear.
Shady character in Central America, working for his father, who had an oil
company as a cover for drug smuggling. Then somebody bought him a baseball
team, and he turned a tidy profit. Then somebody put him on the board of
an
oil company, whose stock he illegally sold at a hefty profit just before
it
collapsed. Suddenly he's governor of Texas, signing death warrants at a
record pace. Then bingo, he's president, put there by a stolen election in
which the pivotal state was run by his little brother, who devised a
scheme
to deprive tens of thousands of people who would have voted for his
opponent
of their right to vote.
Then, bingo again, New York City is attacked and we have endless wars all
over the world. Now that's what I call a resumé. No wonder the American
media are so impressed.
Kerry? Member of same disgusting and secretive college fraternity as
George
Bush who just recently discovered his name was not Kerry but Kohn, Jonah
Kohn. Jewish on both sides of his family, but he let people think he was
Irish for years and years in order, one might allege, to get elected in
Irish Massachusetts. Campaigns as a war hero but his Army buddies felt the
need to write a book about what a reckless faker he was, putting himself
in
for medals for minor incidents he himself precipitated and killing hapless
Vietnamese civilians who couldn't fight back. Faked being an anti-war type
in the '70s to get publicity, but later, after being elected senator,
denied
he ever meant it.
But the topper for Kerry is what Sherman Skolnick re****ted: Kerry was on
the
plane that took Poppy Bush and his evil Republican retinue to Paris in
1980
to bribe the Iranians to keep the American hostages in prison until Reagan
had won the election. Yes, the famous October Surprise. Let's hear it for
the Democratic Party, Lori! You too, Frank!
So, when you put these three resumés side by side, and calculate that both
the media and the American public consider Bush and Kerry to be the
legitimate major candidates, and Nader to be the perennial inauthentic
pretender, what do you conclude?
If you reach any other conclusion that the vast majority is a braindead,
manipulated, unconscious herd that doesn't hear a thing that is actually
being said, then you are probably a member of this majority yourself.
Now, I am not advocating that you vote for Nader, because I am urging -
because we all know the vote count is being manipulated by the fascist
companies that control the electronic voting machines, and your vote won't
count in any circumstances - that you do not vote at all.
And even if I were going to vote, I would not say that Nader is the best
of
the alternative candidates, although I'm not saying he's not, either.
The Green Party recently dumped Nader for one of its own, and more
recently
the
California Peace and Freedom Party instead nominated jailed American
Indian
activist Leonard Peltier at its convention. Were I to vote this time I
could
easily vote for either of those candidates, or any of several others who
are
running with alternative philosophies. The point is that they are ALL more
legitimate - and will do far less damage to both us and the world - than
the
two major candidates who are being stuffed down our throats by the cabal
of
mainstream media mannikins who wouldn't recognize the truth of this rant
if
it were stuffed up their noses - and if they were allowed to attempt to
speak the truth by their Zionist/CIA/banker controlled cor****ate bosses,
which they are not.
It's just that of three candidates I focused on - Nader, Bush, and Kerry -
Nader is by far the more authentic human being and the less dangerous
person
than either of the two anointed perverse patricians that are being shoved
down our throats by journalists who are really propagandists for
tyrannical
criminals.
That virtually the entire American populace actually thinks this is not so
is a crystal clear indication of what mindwashed and manipulated morons -
willing to countenance the unjust mass murder of both its own citizens and
innocent people around the world - the U.S. population has become.
