"Without money, what populist candidates do you think you'd ever hear about? And if you did come to learn about them, how would you know that they weren't stealth candidates? Look at Obama. As stealth as there ever was."
Yes you are right with all the buying of politicians any politician can be a stealth candidate like he is.
The answer remains with the people to do the hard work, but the time is not here yet.
It took almost 30 years from the first World War to the end of the second world war to slow the last movement of fascism. It could go faster this time due to technology but it will not be easy.

With all the electronic toys and the technological advances for communicating, we are no better informed (worse, ironically) than our parents' and grandparents' generations about information directly relevant to our government and elected leaders. For example, I wonder who knows about this?
The very idea that any branch of our government is closed off from public view, and that we allow it (the Supreme Court's refusal to allow cameras in) makes a mockery of 'a people-determined government'.
CSpan needs to be nationalized and all of its channels need to come with basic cable. Ideally, every household should get basic cable services free of charge in the US. No American should have to pay to watch their government in action.
In the meantime, when people ask me, "What can I do?", I say, "If you want to make a difference, and probably in the only way possible these days, support Free Speech TV.
Do it now.
