What is the real agenda?

[noise]

Not the layers of lies and spin and garbage...what is the Bush administration really trying to do? Are they on the same page as the rest of the Establishment (the coporatocracy) or are they rogue to some degree?

2. Who cares? W is toast

The American people have told him to get lost.

3. Motive is essential

because so far it's been disguised by secrecy (and an unbelievably amount of propaganda).

Why did the Bush administration pursue such sinister policies and how have they gotten away with it to date?

Why is the civilian command whose sinister policies caused the problems still in power...and why should anyone believe they are acting in good faith now?

These are questions that I can only hope the Democrats will attempt to answer with their oversight power.

4. Why did the GOP ignore those questions for 6 years? n/t

5. Rogue. They Have Always Been Rogue

Bush** does not represent "The Corporations". He represents a cartel of robber barons connected with the oil industry.
Corporations go along because they risk the loss of all government contracts if they don't.
It is likely that they are also being blackmailed. The inside information that the NSA has collected on every corporation would make that easy.

6. taking candy from baby...

con men (confidence men) work on the principle that the dupes are looking for a quick easy, and give it to them (they think). So the bushpricks aren't operating in a vacume. The ground is prepared for them, and this is well known: like all human societies, ours is flawed. And unless one subscribes to the basic 'private over the public' mentality that's at work in bushism, fascism nazism and so on then it defies understanding. But to believers, destroying the faith in public institutions is very good: where the effects must be countered (in militarism, police, prisons or such service as highways, communications etc) this can be done adhoc, uaing publicly funded propaganda to fix any messes that impact us, with the unspoken proviso that only about 10 percent of us matter ...
the real agenda is to break something that worked for far too many people, and replace that with something that works for the few that matter. It's child sandbox thinking, written by foxnews/cnn and the rest of the mediawhores.
