Politics is done in the Darkness podcast # 6

I've decided to continue my "Politics is Done in the Darkness" podcast/ audio-cast, but as audio only, so not something with an accompanying YouTube video. I will still be making the "My Two Cents" videos, which I think of as specifically for YouTube, and also via blogs and such.

This latest covers topics such as the peace agreement in Syria, the ongoing tragedy of what the west did to Libya, and some open-ended thoughts on the level to which our votes count, or do not count.

The possibility of the predetermined presidential election

More than a year ago, because Webster Tarpley began talking about it on his show, and on other internet radio shows, I became aware of a politician called, Ben Sasse. The interesting thing about Ben Sasse is that there are those who claim, as far back as Sasse's college days, he would tend to introduce himself as the 45th President of the United States.

For a time, I didn't think too much about that story. After all, there was no sign of Ben Sasse on the radar as a candidate for president.

The days and weeks went on, and Trump became the front runner in the campaign on the Republican side. Suddenly, a low rumble began. One might just make it out coming through the media cacophony. It was the leader of the opposition to the Trump Republicans, Ben Sasse, gaining notoriety. Then came the movement to draft him into a third party, and run him as a candidate for president. As of this writing, he claims he would never do that.

Will he run for president after all? Will he become president? I don't know. I do know this video of Tarpley explaining the story about these allegations of a man who introduces himself as the 45th president long before the election campaign for that position is interesting to say the least.
