is instead going through middle men, employees of lobbying firms who
can operate under the proverbial radar.
My friends, we have been well and truly snookered. The corporate media
has successfully shut out the real Democrats running for president, so
we are now stuck with two corporate-owned candidates who will not do

Hillary Clinton is beholden to corporate interests. And her efforts to omit her ties
from her "thirty-five years of experience" spiel have largely failed.
Every time I do digging on Obama, who preaches about making a change
