The President's Book of Secrets on the History Channel.

[Kablooie]

I just saw this show.
The gimmick of the president having a secret book that only presidents have read is corny but the show
is interesting. It goes into many of the secret options and procedures the President has at his disposal.
The government sounds unbelievably complex.
It also mentions that Presidents who renege on their campaign promises may do so because they learn
previously unknown secret information once they are inaugurated. This forces him to rethink his strategies
and he is not at liberty to explain why.

1. I heard the first entry is "Don't let Franklin near your wife or daughter. Or your son.

Or your steed."

2. No, the first is -- you don't make the decisions. Here is who does ---------------

And a lot of the people on the list of who does are in the military or major corporations including news media corporations.

3. They are pinging off many concepts.

Shows like that might be trying to say that 'secret information' they talk about makes them the 'chosen' ones. They even said the Presidents were chosen in there presidents TV Show. Note that the gospels also talk about disciples having secret information not told in metaphor. Maybe some wouldn't understand, some think it is because some don't need to know, and there are some things that are best not discussed, but many times that is so they do not have to be defended, and can be thought correct without examining, and to create a concept of superiority. The concept of needing secrecy has many facets, some contradictory, but sometimes some take concepts to make claims then lean on some secrecy that is only secrecy because they can't defend it. To be honest many bad things are done in existence by an excuse of it being spiritual, and then in secret because the groups know people would disagree. If it is about society and effects society, it should not matter that society knows. Although I understand metaphor in cases where it makes it easier to understand.

There are also some groups that want to model the success of many religions by replicating it structure but by changing its directions and goals, but using its structure and system in similar labels but not the same spirit, so it is common for some groups to try to put similar labels on things they want to try and make important in society.

It is done all the times, some Presidents and leaders may be chosen, some may not. :shrug: The point is they are defining the 'chosen' by some part of work or part of a system they are in. I do understand only some see information, but many times people try to do that same thing to only help themselves and their views.


The intent is to claim the concept of those in positions within a system, are the chosen, those claims are made all the time by many groups.


I don't think 'chosen' has anything to do with a private sector position at some company, or a public sector leadership role, although I do agree many of them may have some special tasks, it is not because of some position in the system.


I Don't claim to know who is chosen, but I do know there are some people out there doing some good things in all areas, everywhere there are people that have gifts and talents that could easily be said to make them chosen. Shrug, chosen for what, and by who, that would be the question. And most groups like to think they are the only chosen ones. It leads to a superiority flaw in many cases.


I like to think everyone might be chosen, based on what they can do, and how they can help if they want, even if it is just raising a family and sharing love in any ones home.

Claiming some group is chosen can be a powerful trap, since if they take that role, unlike the thoughts in the book Dune, where you have to move within your myth, if they let someone define their role, then that person defining it then guides their direction. There also can be a 'superiority' trap when someone says your chosen. Also why I think it is learning, more then chosen, if it makes sense, then you do it because it feels right, so think it is about education for many people, and people learning what they need to learn to be what they are able to feel and think is best.



Although this song is great, why would it matter if the person thought the writer and singers were chosen or not, or if anyone else thought them chosen, as long as the writer and singer knows they can make a difference in something they have some talent at. I figure it is the same with anyone else including things like Presidents.

So Presidents could be chosen, but it wouldn't have anything to do with being President.

4. And might I ask...

Why do you have Rocky's crusty old trainer looking beatific as your tag line?

5. What is it that makes their hair turn gray

almost immediately following the Oath Of Office? That'd be a secret worth knowing.

8. And probably the first thing that is shown is a special little film made by the CIA

It shows the events of Dallas, on November 22, 1963. The film is shot from the vantage point of behind the fence on the grassy knoll, and the very last shot shows a muzzle flash and smoke, right beside the camera, with the president slumping over mortally wounded in the open top limo.

I imagine that every president has been shown this as a way of guaranteeing their compliance with the agenda of the MIC and the wealthy and elite in this country.

It is probably why there have been no true "people's" presidents in the WH ever since.

a voice is heard saying "Any questions?"
