Pick a president.

Informal poll here for the Americans and those conversant on American history/politics.

Which historical president would you want in the White House in 2009, to face the full brunt of Peak Oil?

My nomination is for Dwight Eisenhower. He knew how to fight two enemies every bit as big as the US (the Axis and USSR). No president since has had to. He actually built national infrastructure. Ultimately the wrong choice in highways everywhere, but he didn't know we'd skimp on maintenance and dismantle the rest of our infrastructure out of cheapness. He lead for domestic investments in schools, and a strong defence, but one that pursued peace and worked against the "military industrial complex". He even worked to secure the borders. He did this and balanced the budget. Not just by luck of being at a boom-time in natural resource production (that sure didn't hurt), but, get this, demanding sacrifice. Did they teach you in school what the top marginal tax rate was in the Eisenhower administration? Bueller? Bueller? I'm betting they didn't. Under the conservative Republican Eisenhower administration, the top marginal tax rate (on income over $400,000) was 91%. Not kidding. Look it up.

I'm curious if any of you have other suggestions.

Warren G. Harding- instrumental in helping the bolshevicks overthrow the czar. ( covertly of course )

Actually Flowerr, I made that shit up totally and am amazed that Harding was actually president around that time, I picked a somewhat obscure president at random and then pulled an event that few here would know the details of, directly out of my ass. I thought it would take at least till tomorrow till someone would write something like...." jboogy, your a retard, Harding died 80 years before the russian revolution, WTF are you talking about?"I might nominate you for expert status Flower, if that's your real name.

Exactly why no one can ever tell the whole story, no one will believe it. We all remember more than we think from school LOL.
Your subconscious actually remembers everything you ever heard, you just don't have good brain control to bring it back. When you are in trauma, your whole life flashes in front of you and you can remember everything to the minutest detail, so you knew what you were talking about even if you thought you didn't/.

anyway. I will remove the post since i am out of the box and it won't do any good leaving it anyway. but the basics on the invention of communism is well documented by many *high* level people on the net. I don't need to go there.

You are maybe on the wrong revolution (Russia has a few of them)

There was the first revolution in 1905 my great grandfather was there, they let the tsar hang around but in 1917 the second revolution they took the family captive and kidnapped them. Both were started by the lightened ones.

Warrne harding was president just after that but the development of communism was in full force and they needed a passive pres to not prevent them they wanted to set up the bad guys, warren harding was chosen he didnt even want to be president.

Story is true, Czar removed by illuminaughty. for his grandfather preventing central european bank development long before WWI revenge, they took the family descendant guy OUT. A lot of stories, What is in the books is what they want you to think, not what really happened.

Harding was picked by them for major fascism (itally) naziism(Germany) and communism deevelopment a strong resistance so the war can go on a while..and both sides max out on loans and use up equipment and buy more..

Harding was incidental in allowing communism to develop during his presidency.

He was placed into office, kind of drafted.
He was a front man for huge illuminaughty preparation for WWII

his inactions and allowances helped the communists and naziis to develop


As president, he appointed a strong cabinet that included Charles Evans Hughes, Andrew Mellon and Herbert Hoover. However some other appointments, including that of Albert B. Fall as Secretary of the Interior, proved to be corrupt, leading to the Teapot Dome and other scandals.

In short he was a stooge and his administration was a fuill court illuminaughty press invoving leases to OILMEN and navy ownership, acceptance of money for public non-bids corruption in the FBI wiretaps (beauro of investigation, large shakeup and insertion of the great enlightened Hoover who single handedly changed the department into central power zone. everything important happened in his 2-3 year short stint, and he knew nothing, kind of another G shrub.

In foreign affairs, Harding signed peace treaties that followed on from the Treaty of Versailles which formally ended World War I; he also led the way to world naval disarmament at the Washington Naval Conference of 1921–22.
(shmuck, allow the Germans to multiplex - that was the plan.)

and the MERCANS FUNDED THE DEVLOPMENT OF _____S WAR MACHINE grand pappy shrub general lectric and mercan steel, and huge illuminaughty loans thanks to lax haring passive international stupid trusting peace everywhere laws.

At age 57, Harding died from a heart attack in San Francisco, California. He was 29 months into his term and the sixth U.S. president to die in office.

Harding is often ranked as one of the least successful U.S. presidents, despite his immense popularity while in office. Indeed, Harding himself is quoted as saying "I am not fit for this office and never should have been here."[

Anyway, he was illuminaughty, central in development of communism.

thanks for separating the two points, I didn't really dig to deep into that one just know it is true.


Now TONYA HARDING was not communist, just a blond with good moves, likely the same genes though, really un-bright.

Just picking randomly you probably will pick one of them.

The ones that were not were:

Lincoln, Jefferson, Wahington, Adams, Kennedy, Andrew Johnson, Richard Nixon, Jimmy carter, Zachary Taylor, James Garfield, William McKinnley, Eisenhaur. and a few others. Andrew Jackson, yes good man.,

I would pick Andrew Jackson the only president who ever had the guts to take on the bankers. The first thing he would do is dismantle the Federal Reserve which is a private bank working against the interests of the average citizen. The second thing he would do is round up all the "guest workers" who have been undermining the working man for 30 years and kick them out of country whether they had visas/greencards or not in what would become known at the second trail of tears.

Kennedy had the guts, before he died he announced he would be issuing government backed money, fire the central bank, and would tear apart the _ _ _ intelligence network and throw the pieces to the wind...

He being president didn't even know how big they are.

REally, google is free and so is video.google.com, you can check daily for cool videos, the good ones get removed within days, so watch them while you can.
One tip. If you run into any vids dealing with ET's or lizards be aware that is a shill site put there for a specidic purpose of 1. causing fear 2. getting your address. 3. making you stick your head out of the trench . never join their sites or buy anything from them. Do not for any reason join the 911 truth movement.
