I mean this: I don't think that God, or Jesus, or Mohammed, or any other High Being could have expressed things ANY BETTER than you, Paul C. Roberts, did in this article. I thank you, they thank you, and I pray that this article will be forwarded by many others, as I have forwarded to all those whose email addresses I have. Bless you, bless your writing, and bless all of us in this world, who are wrongly abused by this governments' "whores". That really is the correct word for what they are.

Thank you for a wonderful article.
I wish that the New York Times and other propaganda oriented newspapers could convey to Americans what you have written here.
Kent Cooper was the head of Associated Press for 25 years. In his "The Right To Know" (1955), Cooper told how the press was used to take us into World War 1 and World War 2. He also told how our government, in the name of national security, was resorting to the same news suppression techniques as the communists Americans were told to fear. Nothing has changed. It's no wonder we live in an Orwellian world. This has been going on for a long long time.
You tell it like nobody else can.

I'm a fan Mr. Roberts. Too much profit drives poor decisions: from the billions paid to CEO's of health care insurance, the military industrial complex, to the lobbies that can convince people to act in poor self interest. The hav's keep stirring people up with guns, gays, and god when none have any bearing on their well being. How in the world can anyone believe that a few more tax cuts and a few more wars would improve our condition?

Obama is a shill of the corporate dominators of America. The only difference between him and Bush is he's more intelligent and a better speaker; in real substantive issues, he's serving the same masters but doing so with more gentleness and sophistication. The funny part is he's being attacked by ginned up know nothing Americans as being some sort of Commie; really, the rich are so clever; they give us an attractive figure, dress him up as a change candidate, have him do their bidding and then, in order to befuddle the masses, delude them into thinking he's a 'socialist", or "commie" all the while transferring more wealth from us to them, the exact opposite of what he's accused of doing. You've got to hand it to the rich, they didn't get that way by being stupid, lazy or shy. Nobody is more aggresive, blood thirsty or outright evil than some corporate CEO with 35% body fat, stooping shoulders and dandruff. Three cheers for the ruling class!
