For those of you who are not alive then it's interesting to know that Ross Perot had just sold his private company which was called EDS electronic Data systems which had huge contracts that ran the computers that the computerized the Medicare Medicaid and social security system for the government. And they did it at a large profit and they were the first to computerize all that stuff. Anyway Ross Pearl had just sold his company to general motors in exchange for a large amount of general motors stock and a seat on the board of general motors so when he's talking about the cost of manufacturing cars that's why he's talking about that. So he's original deal was for about a billion dollars in GM stock he got a seat on the board and sold his company to GM which made him the first billionaire in America and he was on the cover of several magazines at the time no one had ever been a billionaire before than anybody knew about this is excluding Saudi chics and rothschilds and all these other secret people who always been
in any case so he sold his company to GM for a billion dollars I believe in GM stock and a seat on the board and then he proceeded to really criticize GM for being backward and terrible and the executives and the other board members at GM were so worried that he was revealing all their wasteful spending and everything else that they paid him another billion dollars to get him off the board so he made a double profit from his sale of his company to GM and then he started another computer company called pro systems to basically do a lot of what EDS was doing.
Anyway I just thought that background would be interesting for people who didn't know where he got his wealth and why he was talking about the cost to manufacture cars in America and why he was knowledgeable on that subject.
All three of them were lying for different reasons.
It can and would be solved if politicians and corporations weren't out to get billions of kickbacks AND if the American people weren't out to get kickbacks.
Don't fool yourself, The People are just as guilty as any pos politician or corporation. They demand their free healthcare. their free schools, their free roads and their free entitlement packages all while the rest of us pay for it.
Well Ross Perot later said that the main reason he dropped out of the campaign was that George Bush sent some former CIA agents to his daughter's wedding and basically threatened his family. And so Ross Perot pulled out of the campaign. And he later tried to re-enter the campaign but quite frankly a lot of his followers sort of felt betrayed and he never quite got the momentum back. But he did pretty well for a third party candidate and I think the consensus was that he took more votes from George Bush than he did from Clinton so he caused Clinton to win
In any case the whole story that George Bush who was the former CIA director and we now know was deeply involved in a lot of other things and probably even the John f Kennedy assassination the whole idea that George Bush sent people to threaten parole's kids was scoffed at by a lot of people but of course it's much more believable now now that more people know the way the world really works and how many people have been killed by these deep staters and cia types.

It wasnt that.
Do you remember the howard "dean scream"?
Unawaware bystandards believe the primary front-runner (and hugely popular grassroots candidate) simply screamed into a mic and that was what caused him to lose all credibility.
It wasnt that he screeched into a mic that made his poll numbers drop. It was that the media, collectively, all got the script to assasinate his character. CNN, MSNBC, FOX, morning talk shows, in unison planted the seed that this moment of excitement made howard dean zany, and not credible.
What does this have to do with 1992?
Perot dropped out telling people he loved his daughter and didnt want harm to come of his family, only to re-enter the race shortly thereafter.
The news media had an amazing story how a darkhorse candidate overcame his fear of treacherous political hit men and is now putting it all on the line to save the country. Instead the mass media collectively ran seeds of doubt about electability, and the gullible bystandards believed them. Perot was the first to be "dean screamed."
It was that. They put a hit out on him. Chip Tatum talks about how they wanted him to take out Ross. However Ross had supported wounded special operations guys and they warned him. Chip refused to do it as it was not acceptable to assinate a US citizen on US soil using a US based hit team.
No I'm talking about the "supporters felt betrayed" narrative.
The layperson believed the news and the media bobbed their head up and down on puppet strings, disappearing Perot from real contention.
What should have made him stronger in the polls (eg, surviving an assassination threat, and having the nerve to keep campaigning) everyone was fed universally, instead, "oh well, too bad he dropped out temporarily because they put the fear of God in him, now nobody is gonna vote for him."
The "supporter felt betrayed" is bullshit. The public got psyop'd.

One of the things I often wondered: what would he have been like as President.
Alas... ear wax.
