JAMES EDWARDS, October 4, 2012
I watched last night’s presidential debate and was amused at the lengths Romney and Obama went to in order to try and convince you that they actually disagree with each other on the issues. Both candidates, as we all know, are controlled by the same interests.
I truly do believe that Obama is allowed to decide how he wants his eggs for breakfast. After that, he is owned and operated. Ditto for Romney.
Marc Krieger sums up the farce that is the American presidential election perfectly in his shockingly accurate column.

The bottom line is that no matter who wins, we lose.
In the meantime, Rachel Madcow, (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yrn-TXGX9Tk) Al Sharpton, and Chris Matthews appeared visibly shaken by Obama’s poor performance.

And, in case you missed it, here is unedited video of the entire “debate.”

The Multiplicative Property of Idiocy and the U.S. Election (http://www.thepoliticalcesspool.org/jamesedwards/the-multiplicative-property-of-idiocy-and-the-us-election/)
Marc Krieger , September 25, 2012
At the risk of sounding like one who parades his cleverness, I will start by noting that the silver price hit USD $33.69 today, a 25% rise from 30 June when I emphatically recommended that you buy physical silver. In turbulent times such as these, owning precious metals is an integral ingredient to protecting your wealth.
However, today’s piece will not cover personal investments or the reasons why you should own precious metals. Rather, I will comment on the farcical spectacle known as the US Presidential election.
To describe the US Presidential election campaign as a circus would be to disparage and offend the talented performers working at the circus. Circus work is honest work and it requires aptitude, years of practice and perseverance, and courage whereas running for the US Presidency is about working the mob and working the system. A keen intellect, steadfastly maintained principles, and an eagerness to assume personal responsibility are not prerequisites for this once venerable role.
As you all know, Barack Hussein Obama is seeking re-election against Republican challenger Willard Mitt Romney. Mainstream media pundits describe the contest as a titanic struggle between two distinguished men espousing diametrically diverging ideologies. The media assert that the future direction of humanity hinges on the outcome of this monumental election.
However, the lamentable reality is that the both men represent two sides of the same coin for they stand in agreement on virtually every important issue and very little will change regardless of which one wins. Both candidates support wars of conquest abroad, they advocate the continuation of the crooked Federal Reserve monetary system, and they promise to continue increasing government spending, regulation, and intervention. They offer no concrete plans for addressing the massive problems confronting the United States such as the impending retirement of the baby boomers and the coming fiscal apocalypse. If anything, both candidates are intellectual pygmies devoid of wisdom, intelligence, integrity, and honour.
The contest between these cretins is on par with the appalling knavery one sees on television programmes like Judge Judy. On Judge Judy, members of the lowest order of Homo sapiens barely evolved from Neanderthals or Homo erectus make utter buffoons of themselves by suing their former friends, neighbours, lovers, or spouses over the most ridiculous things whilst their antagonists prove themselves equally idiotic.
Similarly, Obama and Romney quarrel over trifles and irrelevancies whilst ignoring the vexing questions of our epoch, as millions of mindless morons watch the spectacle. Both candidates embody the worst of humanity and are incompetents of the highest order. To enumerate and describe their flaws would require composing a treatise.
Perhaps the only thing worse than the two candidates is the alarming degeneration of a society that would enable such men to attain the pinnacle of power. In 2008, 69 million Americans physically cast ballots for a buffoon like Barack Obama because he promised to deliver “change”. This year, perhaps as many of 120 million will vote for one of these two ignoramuses.
[ without a totally controlled ZOG media non of this would be possible, CFR/FED/AIPAC/NeoCONS ]
A healthy and rational society would banish charlatans like Obama and Romney to exile. The mere fact that one of these two men will be the nominal leader of the United States signifies that the populace of the United States is functionally retarded. The leaders of a country are often a reflection of its people and, regrettably, Romney and Obama abundantly illustrate that the vast majority of Americans are immoral dolts.
Collectively speaking, if Americans had an iota of sense, they would have elected Ron Paul. However, most Americans want something for nothing and they happily elect demagogues promising miracles over statesmen delivering aphorisms. Meanwhile, the United States continues on its inexorable demise to perdition.
As a mere investments geek and student of history, I do not pretend to have the answer to life’s inscrutable questions. However, I suspect one could ascribe the electoral result in the United States to what I term “The Multiplicative Property of Idiocy”.
Essentially, The Multiplicative Property of Idiocy postulates that the collective brainpower of the mob is equal to the multiple of the number of brains in the mob rather than the combined sum. For example, if you take two people with half a functional brain and assign them together to a task that requires a person with a whole functional brain, their collective brainpower would equal one-fourth (½ x ½ = ¼) the brain power of a normal person. Two halfwits does not equal a rational being.
If you subscribe to the Multiplicative Property of Idiocy and assume that the United States has hundreds of millions of halfwits and perhaps plenty of quarterwits thrown in for good measure, then you can see the potential for truly monstrous outcomes. In fact, Barack Hussein Obama and Willard Mitt Romney are the execrable by-product of the Multiplicative Property of Idiocy and the millions of productive Americans toiling away in the United States and thousands of dead Afghan and Iraqi children are its victims.
