Great post, the comments covered most of my thoughts - thank you for posting.

IMO as the rich get richer and the poor get poorer we will reach a "tipping point" vis a vis the French Revolution and it will be bloody. Hopefully in 2020 the voters will smarten-up and Progressive Democrats will take over our Gov't and reverse the trend to oligarchy.

Wow I’ve needed to see that article for awhile because I was beginning that I was the only one who realized a lot of that.

But as far as Russia goes there’s two more reasons for the attacks on them.
The first being that almost all of our enemies are countries that don’t practice elections as we do.
The reason this is an issue is because how else are we going to install a corporatists Who’s willing to sell their own people out.

And in the case of Russia Putin keeps getting into the main seat and has done the complete opposite of selling his people out he has through the B. R.I.C.S alliance Russia has able to develop partnerships with countries that were exclusive to the west.

So even though Russia was supposed to never recover financially after the fall of communism it was to purely be an outlaw country Putin grab the reigns and has steered the great bear in the right direction and has threatened to destabilize the world economy by switching to a non petrol backed Asian currency which is something that we wouldn’t survive.

And then the second reason being that while most Americans are too busy being distracted by their devices and stupid people and only looking at news feeds to know who our allies are let alone why.

We for the most part are clueless as to the fact that a lot of our foreign policy has become highly dictated by Israel and Saudi Arabia both of whom were partnered together through the British government and have since gotten us involved in their regional politics.

And no greater evidence of this was the Arab spring which most Americans are actually clueless about it even occurring let alone the how and why.

We along with Israel and Saudi Arabia created uprising in nearly every non Sunni country that was either conducting direct business with Russia or was considering joining Gaddafi in his pursuit of establishing a gold dinar currency for all of Africa and any opec countries that would want to be free of western influence.

And the reason that I mentioned non Sunni is that if the Muslim world were to all be Sunni under a single belief system then Saudi Arabia could claim rule over all Islamic countries and implement Wahhabism throughout therefore neutralizing any independent alliances as well as using the law of Islam as the only source of knowledge so that future generations will be dumbed down and obedient.

Russia saw this once The United States was pushing for the UN to authorize the use of military force against Gaddafi for fighting against the rebels that we created within his own country.
Just saying that I’ve openly criticized Trey Gowdy for not asking why were there over 100 CIA operatives in Benghazi which is very close to where the rebellion began.

But anyway Putin criticized us for carrying out these uprisings and later for us stealing Libya’s oil and gold as well as attempting to destabilize the rest of the Middle East. Which is why as soon as the first sign of “ rebels “ appeared in Syria Russia was there to observe and report what was going on and later damn near destroy both of the insurgent forces that we were backing in Syria.

Just saying that if Assad was removed Israel would’ve walked in taken the Golan heights and Saudi would’ve flooded the country with Sunni insurgents to eliminate those who would fight back.
Russia is standing in the way of our business of spreading imperialism and for that we must be conditioned to hate and distrust them just as ironically we have every country that refused an international central bank.

Today seems to all be about the selling of goods and services and the great lengths others go to in order to do that. Sometimes I even get phone calls in which the caller says they noticed I had went to their website. WTF? Chuck you, Farley. In support of Trump and his wall many tell me that Obama and Hillary even speak of "the wall" or the "barrier." They see no problem and will not tell you the reference is to what we already have in place. Business as usual used to work and it was the thing until this last election. Something went wrong and our people chose a non-politico. Now we do not have the proper gander.
