Our voice under the Constitution has been "quieted" due to the War Powers Act which the corporation is usurping the authority of the people without the people's consent. This is the same acts foisted upon an unsuspecting citizenry back in the 1800's.feduphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15371588955295942598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-53246864840716464.post-34465665139238523112011-05-28T08:10:43.472-07:002011-05-28T08:10:43.472-07:00I believe people in power do pretend to be stupid ...I believe people in power do pretend to be stupid to get what they want.<br />My example isn't political, but it demonstrates the same dynamic.<br /><br />I had to get approval for medication through my insurance company. For expensive medications, they needed preapproval, and that meant filling out forms and sending it to them. Long story short, months later, I'm on the phone with this representative from the insurance company and she is telling me they did not receive it, and to send the forms again. She was very sharp, and had answer to everything -- I could tell she was very intelligent.<br /><br />I had already sent them preapproval forms 3 times. Once via registered mail. Once via email. And the 3rd time via fax. How could they have just lost them?<br /><br />She told me "we don't know where they are, send them again". I then asked her why her company would just lose important documents, and not know where they were. She told me they could have lost them in the office. <br /><br />She was playing dumb -- she was trying to act incompetent. I knew something wasn't right.<br />After talking with her and getting no where for a half hour, I played hard ball. I told her the next company I start a job with, if they happen to have the same benefits plan/insurance company I would make sure to see it they switch to another provider. And I hung up.<br /><br />4 hours later, I got a call. It was the sharp-tongued manager who told me 5 thousand times they "didn't know where my forms were, send them again". She told me they have the forms, and I would be approved for the medication.<br /><br />Blank stare.wakeupscreaminghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03629028244290208605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-53246864840716464.post-83171221225825921332011-05-27T11:06:00.165-07:002011-05-27T11:06:00.165-07:00You've been putting out some super-excellent a...You've been putting out some super-excellent articles, lately, GW! I cited you twice on my blog entry "Why I believed the official story about the attacks of 9-11" (you debunked them both ...)<br /><br />There's no doubt in my mind that two of the major environmental disasters in our time were met with *more* than inexcusable incompetence ... Bush's reaction to Katrina and Obabma's/BP's reaction to the Gulf oil "spill." I think there's malicious intent behind both those fiascoes.Jody Paulsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06009671330443309875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-53246864840716464.post-89290330432576378282011-05-26T23:46:35.525-07:002011-05-26T23:46:35.525-07:00Fwww.activistpost.com%2F2011%2F05%2Fhouse-passes-a...Fwww.activistpost.com%2F2011%2F05%2Fhouse-passes-authority-for-worldwide.html&h=15ab9Fungus the Photo!https://www.blogger.com/profile/14879977479841544025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-53246864840716464.post-61260494438636291582011-05-26T22:26:38.560-07:002011-05-26T22:26:38.560-07:00Why choose?

Yet it was also an incompetent plan, one doomed to failure.<br /><br />Likewise, the looting of the economy for the superrich banksters is fundamentally incompetent, as they are "killing the goose that laid the golden eggs" and will end up with nothing in 5-10 years. But it is also evil, and short-term competent, just not competent in the long term.neroden@gmailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07475686367097445497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-53246864840716464.post-79700375364737572312011-05-26T20:14:14.202-07:002011-05-26T20:14:14.202-07:00Great documentation, GW.

I put failure in quotes because I don't even know what the official explanation for what happened on that day is. As much as it wouldn't surprise me that the US gov had advance knowledge of 9/11, I also can't help but think that people overlook the possibility of incompetence on that day. What little I've read dismisses this because no one was fired. However, wouldn't it be possible to argue that no one was fired because no one wanted to admit incompetence?
