"God" as "he" is conceived, is a LOGICAL IMPOSSIBILITY.

God is said to be Omniscient, all-knowing, knows everything that's going on;

Omnipotent, all-powerful, controls everything that's going on;

and all-Good.

Now, he can be any TWO of those things -- take your pick; but god CAN'T be all three, if words are to have any meaning at all.

He can be unknowing of all the evil and suffering going on in the world {especially that done in his name!};

can know all of what's going on, but be unable to stop it;

but he CAN'T be both the first two things, and be GOOD, in the same sense that we commonly use the words "good" or "kind" or "loving" or "compassionate" to describe ourselves or our neighbors! To say that "we just can't understand god" or "god has different standards than we do", is nothing but a {traditional} cop-out that completely perverts the meaning of "good" to mean, as a word, one thing when it comes to our ordinary standards of behavior, and a totally different meaning ONLY when applied to "god".

An entity can't be ALL black AND ALL white at the same time! Of course, an entity can be MIXED colors, and a god can be PARTLY good and evil. But that is not how religious people define him! People are finally getting sick of dealing with this nonsense conundrum.....

After looking at the evidence surrounding the Pat Tillman coverup, I have come to this certain conclusion: that DEATH SQUADS ARE OPERATING WITHIN THE UNITED STATES ARMY; USED AGAINST MEMBERS OF THE U.S. MILITARY ITSELF.

I am tired of endless crappola debates among the politically inclined, on whether President Obama is a "Good Guy or a Bad Guy".  Such discussions are a total waste of time, utterly pointless, change nothing. Obama really has VERY LIMITED power. This doesn't make him, in my view, a "hand-picked tool of Wall Street". {Wall Street had hand-picked Ms. Clinton for that role. Obama rode a genuine populist surge that surprised everyone!} Obama, with his LIMITED power, is like a "manager", trying to keep everyone happy if possible. Like a guy negotiating between Capital, the Bosses, and Labor, the Unions. In a situation where the Bosses basically hold ALL the cards! Trying to win for the "Unions" {to continue that metaphor} what concessions he can!

Who is really in power? CHENEY and his gang! and he is going around FLAUNTING that power! Bush was of course never in power, never had any power at all, was just a figurehead. But Obama is in a very tricky position. He is in NO SENSE in a position to make a "revolution" or a "coup"! And, in what I think Obama is trying to do, he may very well fail! The powers against him may be too great......

We are not REALLY a "Democracy"; not any more; we are an OLIGARCHY, rule by the few, with Democratic outside wrappings! We really ought to recognize this...... This is totally different from the Roosevelt era, when the President actually DID have some power. With the Kennedy assassination, essentially a coup was effected..... that has remained in power EVER SINCE. I am not going in for the Illuminati, the Elders of Zion, the Freemasons, the Knights Templar, aliens from outer space, "the Bilderberg group", or any of that stuff! However, we DO have a shadow government behind the facade of "democratic institutions". Calling it "Bilderberg" or anything else, does NOTHING to help understand it, or feel you have some kind of "control" just by NAMING it! {A well-known form of MAGIC, nothing more!} Besides, I think that the Oligarchy changes constantly, has internal power struggles we know nothing about, etc. It isn't just one specifically identified group of people you can point to and name! A whole lot is VERY undercover..... the main characteristic of this group, as in ALL such various dominant groups thruout Human History, is its willingness to use total brutal force, to succeed........ call it Social Darwinism if you will.

Obama of COURSE, KNOWS all this. He KNOWS who was really responsible for 9/11, for the Kennedy assassination, for the CIA-sponsored coup in Indonesia. If WE can know, OBAMA knows. He may be trying to do what "good", what large or small reforms, he can, under these deplorable circumstances..... and, he could fail.

McChrystal {sp.?} is a case in point. His being put in charge in Afghanistan. He has been associated with Black Ops. {That is where the REAL power base lies, in the secret Black Ops, NOT in such an open, and juvenilely ridiculous, place like Bohemian Grove!!!!!!!} He has also been associated with the cover-up on Pat Tillman's death. The reports on Pat Tillman lead me to believe, that DEATH SQUADS are operating WITHIN THE AMERICAN ARMY. Pat Tillman, a very high-profile person, was starting to question the rationale of the Iraq war; WHY WERE ALL HIS JOURNALS BURNED AT THE SAME TIME THEY BURNED HIS CLOTHES??? And, a LOT OF OTHER "SUICIDES" and "Friendly Fire" incidents, are being questioned ALSO. DEATH SQUADS OPERATING IN THE U.S. ARMY, JUST AS IN LATIN AMERICA and Palestine, etc....... The purpose of this, is to "nip in the bud" ANY Army Resistance, like that which stopped the Viet Nam war...... The hopelessness of forming any similar Resistance in this case, has led to the REAL suicides of soldiers {not faked}, who see NO solidarity and NO other way out........

So, the way I see it, Obama was FORCED to choose McChrystal...... he has very little room to operate, Obama, maybe he has even less room than he thot he would have when he was running for office..... tho on the other hand, Obama was certainly not blind to it, either. And, however much we demonstrate, communicate, express outrage and Public Opinion, it will have VERY LITTLE EFFECT ON THE REAL POWER, ON THE OLIGARCHY........ The after-Kennedy Oligarchy has found, much to the surprise of some of its more hidebound members, that it can absorb Social Change and still remain in power; it can absorb long hair on guys, tie-dyed T-shirts, rock music, Civil Rights for Blacks, and for Women, and for Gays, and still remain in power as its basic self, power that is BASED ON VIOLENCE AND THE WILLINGNESS TO USE FORCE, openly or covertly...... And, it will most likely CO-OPT THE GREEN MOVEMENT IN THE SAME WAY.....!
