This week’s episode of the David Dorer Show is about the man behind the curtain, the puller of the strings in recent political events. Specifically, Obamacare’s surprising effect on specific companies’ stock value, political upheaval in Ukraine and Syria (and how Russia is really running things), and Iran’s nuclear initiatives being less than forthright. Additional reading below.
My panel includes writer for The Blue Indian, E, Republican Strategist Mr. Bunker, and Democratic Strategist Anderson Lipscomb. (also featuring, because no one could be determined to be the victor in a duel, The Dude)

Obamacare and the Stockmarket –
Obamacare has been a hot topic on this show since the show’s inception, mostly because it makes for great political banter. But some new information reported by Business Week is shocking.
Motif investors have bet 45 times more money on Obamacare’s success than on its failure. Two of the hottest motifs right now are Obamacare and repeal Obamacare. They represent, respectively, the idea that the law will succeed and that it will fail.
Russia: In Control of Countries that Can’t Control Themselves –
Syria’s Civil War has raged on, presumably without the use of chemical weapons anymore, with no real end in sight, despite the fact that the regime government seems doomed to fail. Why? Because the regime is propped up by Russia.
Further, Ukraine has undergone a social revolution recently that has left Kiev’s independence square looking like a war zone. Major government facilities were badly burned by protesters demanding a change of the government. President Yanukovych of the Ukraine has signed an agreement to hold a new election, and yet the protests rage on. Why? Because Putin, again, is running the show.
Iran’s Nuclear Ambitions –
Iran has been another topic of what seems like constant conversation on this show, specifically its nuclear objectives. With Iran’s push to develop ballistic missiles, and Iran’s blatant refusal to budge issue of ballistic missile capable of delivering a nuclear warhead in it’s negotiations, I feel it calls into question whether the push for modernization by the President is the true objective, or if Ayatollah Khamenei is pushing a much more violent objective behind the veil.
