			<description><![CDATA[[quote="WT Reader"][quote="Blackdiamond"]:? Oh, Lordy---its all too much for me. I haven't the SLIGHTEST idea of what you kids are talking about---but don't stop. :P[/quote]<br />
<br />
[b]Hey BD ...<br />
<br />
I appreciate your honesty! I agree...hard to figure this out !! <br />
<br />
Have you ever heard the term used in the recent past... "The New World Order"?<br />
<br />
It is a political perspective which yes, is based upon a vast conspiracy theory.  It sees our country and many countries around the world as increasingly being controlled by an elite group of individuals set upon their own personal power and their own personal enrichment. How they are achieving these ends are by mostly secret meetings and secret rituals to bind themselves closer, to consolidate their power, to advance their cause.<br />
<br />
Many believe that the world-wide economic crises we are seeing is not by chance, but by design.  As these powered, monied elites consolidate more, the more resources go to them and the less there is for the rest of us.  Big Banks, Powerful Leaders (from all over the world), Big Military-Industrial Complex, Big Media, Big Academicians, Big Medicine, Big Info services (like Google and Verizon) are all aligning together to enrich themselves, to be the new "haves" while all the rest of us will increasingly become the impoverished "have nots."<br />
<br />
It is a chilling perspective, but when you look around at all the big problems in the world today, such as our continuing tanking ecomony, that isn't such a fuzzy wuzzy, heart-warming picture, either! It's very chillng! <br />
<br />
The videos I list in my initial post above try to explain this overall alleged scheme in the first part by the players, the persons alleged to be involved in this move towards world-wide consolidated power.  Such as the centuries old banking family, The Rothchilds (the richest family on this planet for literally centuries and centuries going back into the Renaissance and well-established by the time of George Washington).  <br />
<br />
Then there is this group of about 130 world elites who meet every year and have since 1954 called "The Bilderbergers."  They meet every yr in posh private retreats, this yr meeting at the swank Hotel Dulce in Sitges, Spain.  Major American corporate figures, banking figures, military figures, media figures and political figures attend as well as their counterparts from around the entire globe.  All in secret, no reporters allowed, no public allowed, PRIVATE.  It is alleged at these secret meetings that world policy is set, as where to declare wars, how to manipulate world-wide currencies, how much to charge for gasoline, much of all of this GLOBALLY decided here and during the yr by this group.  They call themselves "The Bildergerbers" because they first met at The Hotel Bilderberg in Oosterbeek, The Netherlands, in 1954.<br />
<br />
Then there are other organizations with exclusive membership where the world-wide high and mighty allegedly come together to meet and plan how to make the world work better for only THEM.  The Trilateral Commission, The Council on Foreign Relations are such alleged organizations. None of these are govermental agencies, BD.  THEY ARE ALL EXCLUSIVELY PRIVATE...like a COUNTRY CLUB IS.<br />
<br />
Then there are other secret organizations/societies they are alleged to also be a part of this. The Free Masons, The Illuminati (very secret and some question their existence at all) and others not so secret such as The United Nations (but what does that say..."UNITED NATIONS"?? as in ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT??..A "NEW WORLD ORDER"?) I am not saying I buy into ALL of this, just presenting here the perspective and how it is seen, BD.<br />
<br />
THEN there are the alleged MAJOR PLAYERS in all of this, some call them the "HIGH PRIESTS" .... and those are the names I list in my initial post.  Allegedly such as Multi-Billionaire Oilman DAVID ROCKEFELLER, Computer guru BILL GATES, long-time powerful diplomat and former USA Secretary of State HENRY KISSINGER (yes, he is STILL around and in the thick of things), the former top security advisor to President Jimmy Carter named  Zbigniew Brzezinksi (he is also a writer, a scholar, a lecturer and is alleged to be one of the top hidden insiders advising President Barack Obama about the Mideast right now).<br />
<br />
Then there is former President George Herbert Walker Bush (who on January 16, 1991 specifically talked about establishing beyond all doubt a "NEW WORLD ORDER")...take a look at this vid, BD...and hear it first-hand:[/b]<br />
<br />
&lt;!-- m --&gt;&lt;a class="postlink" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rc7i0wCFf8g&amp;feature=related"&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rc7i0wCF ... re=related&lt;/a&gt;&lt;!-- m --&gt; ( [i]"...when we are successful, and WE WILL BE .." [/i])<br />
<br />
[b]Then there are those who allege that President Obama is now into the "New World Order" scheme, too...and some even say he is a a mere puppet of the global elites and powerful monied interests to "mask" what they are really up to BEHIND the scenes.  These are examples of what some say are evidences from President Obama that he is on board and all steam ahead for "The New World Order."  <br />
<br />
[i]By the way, I find comparisons of President Obama to Adolf Hitler and then to The Devil outrageously disgusting, totally repulsive and absolutely ridiculous.  FACT is that some REALLY DO see him this way, and I am here to look at this ENTIRE "New World Order" perspective, even the parts that I do not agree with and that I do not like.  It is important to hear the WHOLE STORY, like it or not, that's the way I look at it.  [/i]<br />
<br />
OK then,  here is President Obama and what some are alleging about him:[/b]<br />
<br />

<br />
[b]ALL RIGHT....that is enough for now, BD.<br />
<br />
On my initial post above, I next list many of the weird alleged projects and entities of "The New World Order" which the vids present at great length.  I suggest first looking at the vids in the first section of my initial post (each which I have referred to here, along with relisting some) and then moving to the second part later.  <br />
<br />
I hope this helps explain what this political perspective is more about; parts of it make more sense to me than other parts of it, and some parts of this perspective are just too far out to make any sense at all (which I find repulsive and ridiculous, as stated).<br />
<br />
The parts that make sense are those that deal with the consolidation of power by world elites ginned up by huge reserves of billions of dolllars/euros ... combined with sophisticated new technology and the CONTROL of such technology for their OWN goals and agendas.  [i]This I find very, very troubling[/i].<br />
<br />
-- WT Reader[/b][/quote]<br />
When you consider all the above it becomes very apparent that these people would be very happy to have most of us busy and preoccupied bickering with each other about the relatively petty, polarized and divisive, conservative/liberal issues, such as a mosque at ground zero or  relatively minor changes to health care regulation.  We are fully complying with their program.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[why is it that.........<br />
board members are so quick to follow the administration and don't question their proposals?<br />
board members approved a list of programatic reductions and eliminations without specific details listed?<br />
board members approved school nurses being cut?<br />
in a time of defecit, the board did not at least ask the superintendent to renegotiate the last 2 years of his contract?<br />
in a time of defecit, the board approved long term extensions of the contracts of the CFO &amp; CAO just prior to announcing budget cuts?<br />
adminstrators may join others in  paying a small % of their individual health care, but will continue to have 100% of family members insurance fully funded?<br />
board members would agree to balance the budget in the backs of the teachers and students without looking elsewhere to save money?<br />
even if rif notices had to be sent out as a precaution, the boe has not publically charged the admin to go back to the drawing board and come up with cuts<br />
that do not directly impact students/teachers in the classroom?<br />
the majority of the board members are content to follow the adminstration rather than lead them?<br />
the board has not ordered the admin to begin negotiating with the unions?<br />
the board has not held a public hearing on the financial crisis which would allow community members to have questions answered?<br />
members of the community and employees who question and or demand alternative measures are demonized?<br />
we aren't getting the transparency and accountabilitythat we were promised? <br />
why is the tail wagging the dog?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[[quote="Blackdiamond"]Thanks WT. What has Canada done for us? They don't even fight in wars, right? We could use some help now. Educate this ole lady. :)[/quote]<br />
<br />
Canadian soldiers have been both fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan as Coaliton Forces with the United States all along.  Many Canadian soldiers have<br />
lost their lives in both conflicts.  Just "google" this topic and you can see for yourself.<br />
<br />
Canada is an ally, they are our neighbor.  When Canadians seek entry into the USA, they do not invade through our borders, they go through Customs<br />
with passports.<br />
<br />
Both the USA and Canada predominately speak English, they are a democracy and they are a trading partner of ours.  <br />
<br />
Would you not agree it is better to have Canada above us -vs- China, Russia or Iraq and Afghanistan?<br />
<br />
We take the Canadians for granted.  They are our friends, and we need to be mindful of this.]]></description>
