True the opening paragraphs outlined a serious issue pretty well but the latter ones failed to offer any clarity... and yea the SPECTRE agents bit devalued it further.

The entire western political system under the aegis of the corporate media throws up politicians who effectively have no real "values": blank books & management milksops. Soros /CIA and the like then provide a pre-packaged overton-window friendly set of ostensibly liberal-trendy "views of the world" whereby they can triangulate their career path with the "idea" of politics and whats "allowed" by the big US cheeses & then suddenly they have strongly held "opinions".

-I'm amazed at how little effort it takes. A few months on a State Dept. freebie in America on the: "International Visitor Leadership Program" which offers "... current and emerging international leaders the opportunity to experience the richness and diversity of American political, economic, social and cultural life..." -for the likes of Scotland's present incumbent First Minister does the trick and bingo: we have a milksop talking tough...
