If B*sh is the puppet, who is pulling the strings?
Surely someone must be giving orders to the *Chimp*. Even he is not clever enough to release what he is doing in the quest for world obliviation.

So my question is, who is pulling the strings? What are they trying to gain? I am leaning towards one person and not a group of people, as even groups have a leader which makes the final decision.

5. What is their goal?
Money or world domination?

Let's say they achieve their goal... what's next? (Assuming the fact that there is still a world left)

8. Power
Power for power's sake.

That's what drives every empire in human history. It eventually leads to the crumble of every empire. And the process, even though humans are supposed to learn from history, then repeats itself.

Why? Because there will be people who have yet to be born that will want power as well.

A center of power always expands. It eventually clashes with another center of power that's doing the exact same thing. One will lose in the resulting war, and the winner will continue to expand. Until it hits yet another center of power, and that process continues as well.

What comes next after they achieve their goal? Another power grab.

9. Money. They won't be rushing to spread democracy
or occupy poor countries whose main export is avocados, just for the power of domination.

10. There are many layers of people....

Think marionette. Rove and Card are there to make sure the strings don't get tangled. They are responsible for coaching him just enough so he doesn't muck it up. They are the ones who break down the marching orders coming from above so that Bush gets it. What they need him to get is policy, history, sociological, cultural, and economic knowledge sufficient so that he can give a speech and introduce a dignitary. They have to do it so that he understands enough of the policy to spout the propaganda, but not slip and provide the underlying madness. Rove is also there to figure out how they can use Bush and others to cunningly and destructively destroy Democrats and Independents.

The marching orders come from on high. It used to be more clear - it was mostly from the Federalist Society and similar groups along with grand conglomerations of federal reserve, banking, investments, corporations, military, and intelligence whose purpose is acquisition and domination and stealth dealings for their purposes. The air is muddied with the emergence of PNAC. They are either the project leaders for certain parts of the agenda or they are operating a little independently of the Fed Society and friends and foundations.

Fed Society types are usually smarter than PNACers.

Rove and Card spin the delusion that Bush is making up the policy which he does to a certain degree, because he gets to play his games of loyalty, betrayal, and revenge. Bush's work is hard so he gets little rewards for getting on that plane and flying to another place where he gives the same old, same old speech. Then there are all those strange dignitaries he has to meet and be interviewed with - people who all require such a diversity of handling and who are so polite and who don't seem to like it when he slaps them on the back and snorts at his own jokes.

At least that is the way it looks from here. Can't we get a real President that we can respect?

11. There was a time I thought it was Cheney,
but I really think it is Rove especially since Frist wants Rove to handle his next campaign. Rove is evil, so very evil. I truly believe Rove has a grandeous personality and believes he is the president or can control the president. A real Nazi. Rove is just evil, he knows how to manipulate! I think Rove is to fear above all the wackos around.

13. Saw Rove on TV last night
Blubbering about W being one of the most intelligent Presidents ever. Didn't seem like he was talking about the same guy everyone else sees. Actually didn't make Rove look that smart if he looks up to dubby. Of course it might all be play.
