\nWhether you vote Republican or Democrat, the oligarchs will win

\n The election of the next puppet president of the �world�s only superpower� is about two and one-half months off, and what are the campaign issues? There aren�t any worthy of the name.
\n
\nRomney�s other issue is to blame Obama for America�s unemployment caused by the offshoring of the US economy by Republican corporate CEOs. In order to enhance their compensation packages, the Republican CEOs sent millions of America�s best jobs to India, China and elsewhere. The lower cost of labor in these offshore sites means much higher earnings, which drives up share prices for shareholders and drives up performance bonuses for management, while wrecking US employment, GDP growth and tax base and driving up the deficit in the balance of payments.

\nAmerica�s main economic problem-' + '-the relocation of the US economy offshore-' + '-is not a campaign issue. Therefore, the US economy�s main problem will remain unaddressed. \'I\'m sick to my stomach\': anger builds in Illinois at Bain\'s latest outsourcing plan | Business | guardian.co.uk

\nThe real issues can nowhere be found in the campaigns or in the media. There is no mention of the Bush/Obama destruction of the US Constitution and its legal protections of citizens from arbitrary government power. Due process no longer exists for anyone who the executive branch suspects of being connected in any way to Washington�s chosen enemies. US citizens can be thrown into dungeons for life on suspicion alone without any evidence ever being presented to a court, and they can be executed any place on earth, along with whoever happens to be with them at the time, on suspicion alone.
\n
\nLast May federal district court judge Katherine Forrest ruled that indefinite detention of US citizens is unconstitutional and issued an injunction against the Obama regime using this police state measure in the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). The Obama regime gave the federal judge the finger. During the week of August 6-10 the Justice (sic) Department�s Brownshirt lawyers refused to tell Judge Forrest if the Obama regime is complying with the injunction. NDAA on trial: White House refuses to abide with ban against indefinite detention of Americans — RT The position of the Obama regime is: �we are above the law and do not answer to federal courts.� One would think that Romney would be all over this, but he isn�t because he wants the power himself.
\n
\nThe Obama police state will shop around and find a federal appeals court dominated by Republican Brownshirt judges and get Judge Forrest�s ruling overturned. All those Republican federal judges we had to have to save us from liberal Democrats will now complete our deliverance to a total police state where all power rests in an unaccountable executive branch.This is what the Republican Federalist Society has wanted for years, and they are on the verge of obtaining it.
\n
\nThat the United States has degenerated into a police state in the short period of ten years should be the campaign issue. Who would ever have thought such a thing possible. Yet, there is no mention of the destruction of the rule of law in the name of a hoax �war on terror.�
\n
\nThe Bush regime created the propaganda that �they (Muslims) hate us for our freedom and democracy,� but how can Muslims hate us for what does not exist? The arbitrary unaccountable power asserted by the executive branch is totally incompatible with freedom and democracy. Yet, neither Obama nor Romney makes this an issue. And neither does the media.
\n
\nThere is no war on terror. There is war on countries that are not Washington�s puppet states. Unaccountable Washington is currently slaughtering thousands of Muslims in a variety of countries and is preparing Syria as its next holocaust. Washington, taking advantage of the splits between Sunnis and Shi�ites and between Islamists and secular Muslims, has organized a rebellion in Syria in order to overthrow a government that is not a puppet of Washington and Israel.
\n
\nDon�t expect the packaged political campaign of the next couple of months to deal with any significant issue. Americans are oblivious of their fate, and so apparently is the rest of the world.
