How long will it be before the Logan Act in enforced?
It is illegal for any American to meet behind closed doors with foreign leaders or governments. Many are unelected to do so or out of power.

I want the Logan Act enforced against people such as David Rockefeller and Kissinger, etc. by the Justice Department for these secret powerful organizations (Bilderberg, Trilateral Commission, Council on Foreign Relations, etc.).

Who gave them permission to run the world from behind closed doors using our wealth and power to negotiate away our future? I want all Americans out of them now (including the candidates for President).

We are a democracy not an Empire. They are ruling as an elite few oligarchy. The divide the world up for their own power and wealth.

4. Pelosi added something to it but it's been around since
the Adam's Presidency. No it's not being debated but should be.

and liberals/progressives keep getting assassinated and otherwise eliminated?

Read the link . . . quickly ---

Imagine how much simpler our lives would be had we nationalized oil --- at least by 1960 when
JFK ran on a Democratic Platform which called for just that!!!

FDR was also going to nationalize oil, but he talked with LBJ about it and he talked him out of it!!!

It's interesting that we have a much more casual coverage of Bilderbergs and Trilateral, etal on the internet --- where it is almost taboo in corporate-media.

11. I was surprised to see he has a summer home on Mt Desert Island (ME)
My cousin, who is nowhere near wealthy, lives there. I'll have to ask her about him.

9. We are already an Empire.
What you are seeing is merely a continuation of old historic trends from the days of Rome to the British Empire to the American Empire.
