This is in response to Dave Chirayath’s letter of March 19.

The economic chaos now sweeping the world can only be properly understood when the instigators of such events are not being obscured from the general public by the ruling elite’s press relations people and various conspiracy hecklers, such as the neo-conservatives in talk radio.

Instead of thoroughly exposing the nation’s phony two-party system, the neo-cons in talk radio encourage and promote conspiracy denial. They keep their listeners in almost complete ignorance of what’s really happening to America, even though many believe themselves to be well informed. Sports, recreation and television addiction have neutralized millions who rely on entertainers to inform them on the issues.

If Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and John McCain are members of the Council of Foreign Relations and the CFR uses its considerable influence to erode the sovereignty of nations, then voting for one party to defeat the other is time wasted, and only hastening America’s decline.

People need to take the time to research the undermining influence of secret societies in American politics. Whether it is the Skull and Bones choice of Bush vs. Kerry, or the current choice of CFR members, Americans are being duped every four years.
