Lamar Waldron wrote a book about Nixon/Watergate recently

Thom's great mind interviewing Lamar's great mind:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/101733040


One of the biggest big lies in all of recorded history:

"I am not a crook" - Richard M. Nixon


Now, what's really interesting and is one of the key elements of THE ROOT CAUSES OF THE CORPORATE TAKE OVER OF AMERICAN GOVERNMENT:

Nixon WH alumnus include

DICK CHENEY (chee-nee, as C. Mathews would pronouce it)
Don Rumsfeld
Roger Ailes

I strongly reccomend a DU listen to both parts of Thom's interview. It's EXCELLENT political archeology as to why our modern politics is pure unadulterated corporate propaganda to serve the interests of the wealthy at the expense of the rest of us!

This Nixon/watergate subject is a ROSETTA STONE for untangling modern American fascism.

And it substantiates my contention that modern America is a

CORPORATE FASCIST TOTALITARIAN POLICE STATE

All the laws are in place and enough of our Constitutional Rights have been repealed that CAMP REAGAN* will become a reality in my life time.

"Zappa was very critical about the Reagan administration. As early as the 1960s Zappa criticized Reagan, while he was still Governor of California. The liner notes of We're Only In It For The Money (1968) mention that the concentration camp in The Chrome Plated Megaphone Of Destiny is called "Camp Reagan".

Aditionally

The self control of the two left leaning guests is laudable and amazing.

If I found myself engaged in a conversation of any kind with the likes of FEHRNSTROM, it would take every ounce of self control I can muster to prevent myself from ramming my arm down his throat and ripping his lungs out with my bare hands.

These Romney people are despicable! They should all be sent back to their neighborhood Country Clubs with an ankle bracelet and kept under house arrest for the rest of their lives!

-90% Jimmy again.

Gee - turning Country Clubs into prisons for the wealthy is a really good idea, isn't it?

That is really good news

Primarily because it is the result of the efforts of the

OCCUPY BUFFALO movement.

The Occupy movement seems to be working effectively to begin the restoration of our Democracy.

I've has an Occupy yard sign by the road in front of my house for about 6 months now, and an Occupy bumper sticker on my tailgate for about four.

Meager, I know, but, I feel you have to keep trying and every little tiny bit helps.

ESPECIALLY IF WE THE 99% ARE ALL ENGAGED IN DOING THESE LITTLE THINGS! That would yield a louder pro-democracy message than all the Citizens United Corporate Propaganda their billions can buy!

Is it just me?

Is it just me or does all this voter disenfranchisement games going on by the Republican politicians in Florida have a Fascist Nazi Mafia aroma to it?

Our institutions have been captured by corporate organized crime.

And are annihilating our Democracy in the process.

Fool me twice.....won't get fooled again.

Once again, the internet is our last and almost only hope to save Democracy.

That Romney and Obama can be dead even or even Romney ahead in some polls simply means the Corporations are winning! Which also means we progressives are doing a crappy job of citizenship, as to me it's self evident that Obama should be leading by 25 points! The stupid mean selfish and greedy people are winning. Kicking our asses, actually. What are we all going to do about it?

About 90-percent

Gee - my profile info didn't migrate from the old DU I guess? The main thing - 90% refers to the maximum allowable percentage of nitromethane fuel permitted in modern NHRA Top Fuel and Funny cars. Which is what makes current "nostalgia nitro" so cool - you can still "tip the can" and run straight nitro, if you want to. I'm an aging northeast liberal with an overdeveloped justice gland. OUR INSTITUTIONS ARE INFESTED WITH GREEDY AND CORRUPT SOCIOPATHS
