@altschmerz I know the feeling all to well. I keep bouncing the idea of voting for Sanders around in my skull, but, soon after the thought 2016 quickly smacks me upside my head, it makes my head hurt. While the debates have added a rather colorful entertainment for us I quickly remind myself that it's just that, entertainment. Controlled by the media apparatus by the DNC. What we are getting is simply a mirror image of 2016 with more people participating in role playing. Within a controlled environment that isn't answering any problems or detailing any means to combat the real issues. Again the main narrative is beat Trump at any cost while basically preserving the present policies ripping our society apart. Russia is hacking our elections fear tactic as part as the foundation the facade is built on. Iran is evil, another corner stone. Israel has a right to defend itself, cornerstone. Universal healthcare cost to much, cornerstone. China is stealing our technology and is a communist threat to the world, cornerstone. What you aren't getting is the mention of a vast waste of money on Middle East wars built on lies that they knew can't be won. Barely, if at all, brought up even though we know this is fact. When it is brought up it's not about the truth, it's about how to adjust sustainability. In other words that means more of the same. All the money we've put into this warring could have been provided to combat social issues times over! In the debates it gets, crickets. Actually delving into the legitimacy of actions and holding people responsible can not be tolerated! BECAUSE THEY ALL PLAYED A FUCKING ROLE IN IT! And still are!

@rogerbenham the sad thing is there seems to be an abundance of them. But as above where altschmerz brings up an article of Johnstone's, these people seemingly are staunchly related to republican administrations, within a means she mentions in that article. In that article she relates the democrats to a boxers jabs through their policy practices. While their policies basically do little to nothing to create the progressive change they voice to be, they essentially move us slowly to the right in compliance. This setting us up for the knockout punch for when the republicans take control moving further right. I'll use the last 5 decades as an example. Carter to Reagan--Pretty much without public notice Carter allows himself to begin the Afghanistan affair with the USSR. Combine that with the hostage situation of Iran. Carter comes out looking like a dying rose only to be seen as a president who made some bad choices who got a bunch of servicemen killed and couldn't get the hostages freed. Going on to be a media wise growing symbol as a humanitarian only to be denounced by republican supporters. History now telling the incoming Reagan campaign made a deal with the Iranians to hold the hostages until the 80 election was over. Combine that with Iran-Contra you begin to see a certain type of people we've seen filter from the Reagan administration and 3 other administrations, both Bush's and now Trump. Latin American wars, illegal arms trade with Contra's and Iran, after US funding was banished for use twice, leading to a crack cocaine epidemic. With only a few fall guys taking the hit virtually no one is held responsible. Add 4 years of daddy Bush to continue much of the same policies while also using his presidential power to cover up the remaining remnants of the previous 8 years of crimes and his involvements. Including his time in the CIA. Clinton begins his endeavors with light antagonizing warring in various places like Kosovo, Bosnia, Somalia, Rwanda, and Iraq. Although media wise seen as humanitarian these all had quite questionable acts of compliant atrocities within them. Bill Clinton is still vastly endeared by many today. 500,000 dead children in Iraq can't even break through that barrier. Bush Jr to Obama, I would imagine the pattern is exposing itself by now? Bush loads his administration with much of Reagan's administration war criminals who are friends of daddy. Again making an appearance in the Trump administration. Obama like Clinton is endeared by many. Those main 2 previously from above are all linked to think tanks, NGO's, and foundations of a particular agenda wrapped up in deep state intelligence agencies using a tool called the media to create a facade towards balance of government. I can only wish right had something ...

William_Mary replies on Jan 18, 2020:
@RoboGraham right, I know the feeling all to well. All you can do is state you argument and hope for the best sometimes. With some people no matter how much information you provide will you be able to turn cognitive dissonance. They will latch onto those very few ideologies they've been conditioned to believe in never stepping abroad to anything that contradicts. Accusations with little to no information without opposing views become pure facts. They become unable to ask the right questions or recognize when someone else does so with legitimacy. Articles that provide valuable learning details via links within an opposing view take to much time for them reach an informative basis to form what could be a redevelopment of their current opinion. In which at this point they are probably more the type who only learns from catchy eye candy headlines and a forward paragraph or 2 that's meant to condition one. Then the MSM via radio and TV fill in the rest of the agenda with perception management. Because those reporters and journalist will not upset the agenda either. Never giving the brain the opportunity to raise valuable questions. Pick you fights well. I learned that the hard way. I've wasted much time debating those who only are able to repeat establishment rhetoric nonstop never getting anywhere. They can never provide an opinion with substantial information only repeating the rhetoric they hear in the MSM. And they attack when you do with the rhetoric they've been conditioned from which they hear from MSM and often social media. This is why tribal politics continue to survive. They only recognize when the other party does unethical practices, but can't recognize when their party is committing the same unethical acts. Often then it becomes an argument of degree in compliance of justification. Which from the Reagan era to Trump, at least, what we see today is the enactment of crimes and unethical procedures becoming ordinary.

@RoboGraham well the terminology within the presidential powers is quite misleading. None the less, it's due to reliable and factual information being used. Both countries are throwing around the terrorist label. Was this person also so inclined to give Obama the same justification as he illegally used these powers? Being a subject of partisan politics. Possibly just engulfed in the perception management of hate Iran and anything they say or do also? Personally I would argue Iran is the better adult in the room. They've been in defense mode since the early 1900's due to colonialism from first Britain and now the US. Anyone that can't see this simply doesn't know the history of these relationships over the time lines and compliant to the brainwashing that comes with it. This is all information you have to seek on your own accord being the media works hand in hand with the establishment and deep state. If Iran assassinated a commander of ours within their sense of terrorist labeling, would this person accept it as legitimate? Probably not having been conditioned outside of the true history and facts.

William_Mary replies on Jan 18, 2020:
@RoboGraham basically the US created a civilian war by manipulating social tensions. As ISIS was being forced out of Iraq into Syria, the US began funding and weaponizing various sects of Al-Qaeda groups to create a social disturbance under a facade of a civil war. When all was summed up something like 28 terrorist sect groups were or had been funded by a combination of the CIA and US military. Add on the White Helmets and a fake mash unit also funded by an English billionaire. At some points even fighting each other, total chaos. Essentially forcing the civilians into a war by over running local governments. This while ISIS was able to move into what became their caliphate. Long story short. These groups were then used to fight ISIS when the Syrian government with the help of Russia began pushing them out of the cities they destroyed with the help of western coalition bombing. Eventually many of those in these groups realigned with other groups and or ISIS. The articles I sent you can fill in the pieces.

She has done a lot of work through participating in UN council meetings on Syria that might lead you to more domestic style issues. I had a council meeting a while back she was involved in, along with a Syrian representative, that went into many aspects of the nature citizens dealt with during the times the terrorist groups were taking over the country. However I lost it in a crash and been having a hard time finding it to pass on. But you might find it there. I don't do the Patreon thing myself. But most information in that documentary and council meeting can be slowly exposed in the many articles of hers at the mint press news site.

Carter got his hands dirty in the Afghan issues that lead to the support of Operation Cyclone. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Cyclone The people of Afghanistan who grew tired of a corrupt government lead an uprising to go back to being a socialist government. and signing a treaty with the Soviet Union. And of course the familiar story of mass murder and flipping the narrative towards cold war agendas became the lead to 9/11 and today's events in that region. Carter essentially allowed himself via the CIA and Charlie Wilson to become the father of the interference in those countries leading to supporting and funding terrorist groups over diplomacy. Kennedy had his flaws in Cuba and Latin America also. If he really wanted to expose the CIA for what they were, Central America would have provided a good deal of pause for the American people.

The people are blissfully going about their simple lives. As that, what is happening out there will not happen to me, delusion engulfs them. A large amount of people don't even think, know, or hear about these issues. The main stream media tells them the economy is good and growing, the market is up and breaking records in some areas on some days. To many 2008 was just a blip where, if they are in a certain class or hold a position in which they have small market interest, lost about a 1/3 of their value. Some may even believe they actually got it back by now. That's the problem in a nut shell. Because millions of people who lost everything in 2008 were on another ship beside theirs went it went down. And the same wave is coming back around that can effect them this time filtering down to family and friends around them. This is what the results of their social conditioning have brought us. Our culture no longer relies on initiatives or innovation to embody a social construct towards advancing our society. For over 5 decades democracy has been torn down and society has been targeted within a systematic conditioning that has lead us to having little to no time to consider those we share society with to a large degree. We blissfully put ourselves in a place of tribalism at times when the media forces us to do so now, in the small amount of time we spend observing it, which has allowed them to create and choose what they want us to see and hear. We have lost the sight in which those around us outside the US still have and are fighting now. They are managing to keep themselves informed! They are fighting against what we have already become! In Latin and South America, they are fighting against what we have done to their neighboring countries. Those people are united! While we have essentially already surrendered and will merely fall divided. Our truth for most part will not come until the morning they wake up and find the bottom fell out during the night, or is presently falling as they drive to work. Just as it happened in 2008.

William_Mary replies on Dec 25, 2019:
@rogerbenham my sources, for the most part, eliminate the right left divisional divided conflict covering the essence of issues. They, I, don't allow the distinction of either side which hinders the amount of information or entrapment to one or the other which leads to false perceptions, willing ignorance in compliance, or blissful acceptance to acts both sides commit, leading to a delusional reality. The Ukrainegate and Russiagate issues would be a perfect example of most recent events which have captured the public attention for the past 3 years. Where my main 2 sources on these issues have been Consortium News and Mint Press News that have exposed those issues as both being misleading and vastly lacking factual information in which both the right and left are compliant in developing a delusional reality to cover up each others crimes and unethical actions. The border issues which has vastly left the news cycle. Jeffery Epstein. The war on terrorism, recently Afghanistangate, the entire Middle East and African, especially North Africa, the entire Latin America problem. Truth does not conflict with truth or facts when all the information is provided to develop an intellectual opinion. Conflict only occurs when more information is provided or discovered. Closed minds create the conflict when one refuses to examine new information. Tribal politics are designed to create that conflict. Each person has the ability to either play a part in the conflict or intellectually weigh all information to avoid it within the factual truth through the information provided. But when most of the population is reliant on one side or the others managed reality without proper examination of all information, there in comes the political conflict creating ignorant voters. Each side refusing to examine facts that are presented no matter who provided those facts and information. The tribes listen only to their chosen glorified politician or news caster unwilling to accept the possibility the storm is coming because another tribe running from it provided the information. We have hard working independent investigative journalist who have been harking on this problem for decades now who can't get their work released to main stream sources because of the entrapment system they are caught in. Who many came from that very system out of disgust even though it meant leaving a lucrative career. They chose dignity and integrity over money and systematic perception management. The other conflict is getting the right and left to these sources.

In which one of his staffers, on his own accord, actually tried to gain access to a restricted data base. Rescinding a prior ban on corporate donations and accusing Sanders supporters of violence at the Nevada Convention.

Her problem was her time in California. Those who actually follow politics close enough to know her history there, or wise enough to research her when she stepped out into the national light, took pause on what they learned. We are beholden to the ignorant though when a vast number of us vote within their ignorance! Those who desire a woman president without intellectual knowledge of the woman, add African American to that in this case. Clinton in 2008 then again in 2016. Those willing to over look the history or trapped in the delusional reality painted by the establishment and main stream media flock to a conditioned social desire, rather than a well coordinated measure of acceptableness. I desire a country more of a socialist nature. Which in 2016 I believed Sanders was the one to begin leading us out of the inequality devastating our country today. Along with many other failing aspects we face today. But as the primary and debates of 2016 progressed it became apparent Sanders wasn't entirely putting up a legitimate attempt to fight for his supporters, himself, or the country. I began questioning him during the second debate, by the forth it was clear he didn't have a genuine heart. I'll end that there. You know the rest of the story as I now consider him just another political con artist. Her campaign ended because the DNC and democrats have created a field of over 20 candidates which spread out all those people I spoke of above. Some of them moving on due to discovery, some due to manipulation by the media and narrative control of the debates. Which include manufactured polling where people tend to a need to follow the fan wagon. Harris was essentially a cash cow out of the gate for the DNC anyways. The establishment wasn't going to allow her to become the president with Biden being the apparent chosen one for now. And her campaign was beginning to eat away at the money it brought in. She out lived her usefulness. And has been replaced with other potential establishment figures who in the case Biden falters can replace him.

That's the very problem we are faced with today. In 2016 many thought the republicans were going to run Trump out of DC or keep him on a short leash if he attempted to do half the shit he has been doing. I told you so doesn't quite make me feel any better though. I seen them drooling at the mouth from the gate. And what the democrats are doing is feeding his supporters and the republican party the reasons to keep supporting him and move on with their agenda people like you and I knew was there from the beginning. What few have turned way, which is few, have been revitalized by the democratic party's actions. It will be a nothing short of a miracle for the democrats to win in 2020. Not that it would be any better. There is however a conspiracy going on now about some major events about to take place. It has to do with Trump's Space Force program. Which just got funded in the recent spending bill passing. Some recent patents having been applied for and acquired by the military on new technology involving space crafts and space travel. This technology also has the means to make life on this planet much better and cleaner if properly applied, not used as a profit generator. This Barbara Barrett https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Secretary_of_the_Air_Force and a representative from Alabama, I think it is, are trying to get some documents declassified on our interactions with aliens and a space program that's been operating for some time. I've been following Ancient Aliens for over 20 years and pour a vast amount of time in government cover ups. With the recent release of the 2004 air force videos and others , I think the lid is about to pop on all this. According to insiders this is going to depend on the Trump impeachment hearings and his reelection. But if you relate Trump's uncle John to all this and the theft of Tesla's work by him and the OSS it begins to add up. But I have a good deal of pause to give Trump any credit of good to come out of anything! Being this is such a far out there issue by most in society I'll quit there. But I've from 2016 have had the conjecture that Trump was planted on us for a reason. Maybe this is it? I'm just a nut with an overactive mind :-) though. Some of the stuff I recently viewed don't quite add up to what I understand either. Trump being played as a hero just doesn't fit my mind. By all senses he scares the shit out of me.

You can only view this as I do with Sanders, a simple matter of compliance to the very people who are in control. I have no doubt he' will be greatly rewarded by some means.

There's no longer a need to take them over to that degree. He won without the popular vote in 2016. 3 million out if I remember right. With both parties purging voters it's fairly easy to fudge the numbers now. All they need to do now is get the polling companies to manufacture their methods to match the voting numbers within a 5 to 6 percent margin. Few will question the outcome and few will hold either party accountable. Each party has significant reason and evidence to challenge and accuse the other for voter fraud and tampering but, crickets. And when it comes to the American people, most are ignorant to it or only complain when their chosen one loses. In the case of the 2016 Sanders scam, the courts ruled that the DNC has the right to chose their candidate as a private entity. They aren't held to abide by their own rules. Essentially that means the republican party can do the same thing. So if the general election was to be caught cheating the voters guess what the courts are going to say? Ask Florida how that goes? The US Supreme Court illegally handed Bush a win before all ballots were counted. Later finding out the state started destroying ballots to cover up the growing lose to Gore. As I repeat often here, the only way we will change and exterminate the corruption in DC is to mass exodus the 2 party establishment and unify behind the green party or sep. But the tribalism engaged on the public by MSM is overwhelming to defeat.

I honestly can't say without it being pure conjecture out of ignorance. But if you consider Central American wars from the Reagan era and the information that came out from the governments they installed in those countries, we had a hand in torture and mass murders. What makes the difference if ship to another country of done in country? The paramilitary death squads unleashed in those countries were brought to the US for training and sent back to commit horrible crimes on humanity. Our government is still doing this today in military camps in the US. Recently it backfired on them with A Saudi air force trainee committing a shooting in one of those camps. If I remember right the radio claimed we have some 300 Saudi's in the US training on air force bases. Essentially Trojan Horses to go with the White Helmets and top commanders of ISIS and other terrorist groups transplanted to the US as Syria pushed them into a corner of their country. All these people and groups are basically of the same ideology of Sunni Wahhabism. Another 9/11 is immanent? As for sweeping off the streets and transporting to other countries, my first recollection was with the start of the Afghanistan war.

I'll go propaganda to the point of distraction. Which another post on this issue was made clear on that and the timing. In which it was claimed the timing was a result to rush this out as the impeachment hearings were kicking in to smear Trump. I made the statement in that post about it (paraphrasing) falling back onto 2 prior administrations also as mere collateral damage that would be easily soluble in time. Basically I was using WAPO's own discovery against them knowing they aren't a source to be trusted. And most likely have a hidden agenda. Showing truth while also creating a conditioning narrative. So what is the agenda of the propaganda you see in this then if you don't think the Afghanistan war has been a total waste and lie? You haven't seen this information slowly coming out about Afghanistan over the past 18 years that alternative journalist have been bringing light to? I agree it will become superficial as stated above and the other post, as I stated in other words. The WAPO is relying on a population with a short attention span and will go back to business as usual immediately. But at least we have a more precise record of the truth to use. We just need to decipher the agenda from an questionable source.

William_Mary replies on Dec 15, 2019:
I'm sorry! I imagine that is a struggle you have to face from within. While I have no family that I know of in that aspect, I, like many I would imagine, struggle on the patriot aspect. For the record though, my intent here is never about bringing shame on anyone for their service or bringing shame on our country, or anyone else's country, for the imperialistic manufactured warring agendas being played out. My intentions are purely about changing the criminals leading us down that path. PTSD is probably a result of many coming home feeling the same from forced involvement. I've worked with some who explained their discontent with their time in Iraq and Afghanistan. As soon as 2005 I was getting stories from those who served in Iraq and seen horrors and felt the confusion of purpose. The reasons are endless, but mirrored by many. Over 18 years we have had all the evidences leaked out of what would lead to this, which the MSM has never covered. Veterans groups who speak out about it, families angered and speaking out, 9/11 families, will not be allowed. They can't get a platform but they are out there. And to get a platform would mean tolerating a growing outcry which would cause more families to join a movement to quell the warring and bring awareness to those still trapped in the illusion. Or those who are there but fear the backlash of the minions without a sense of sincere empathy within their fake patriotism. And those are the one's I attempt to speak for. I glad your brother made it home safe and hope he survived from the worst many came back with.

William_Mary replies on Dec 5, 2019:
@DavidDuhon well, that's not particularly correct either. Take Caitlin Johnstone's reference used in the article to 9/11 and the illegal invasion of Iraq for an example. While the hype to war was going on to that open pubic conspiracy many were denouncing it. Chris Hedges lost his, or was basically forced out, of his job at the New York Times over his dissent towards that conspiracy being played out. I think Rick Sanchez was another victim to that, now on RT also. That war took a number of journalist out of their careers to look for another avenue to do their work. I embarrassingly admit to having fallen prey to that false narrative myself. Being at the time I was a faithful MSNBC follower. Plus I fell victim to the the History Channels documentary on Iraq which also was a conditioning false narrative propaganda tool. In which they used another common weapon, repetitive cycling. If I remember right the Discovery Channel also payed that same documentary a couple of times. I was among the brainwashed population that fell for the same bullshit going on now in Venezuela, Nicaragua, Iran, Russia, Ukraine, Bolivia, etc. These are not going on in secret. These are publicly open false conspiracies being waged on the public with the establishment using their corporate tool, the main stream media, to spread a false theory. I would consider this to be about as large as it gets! It's only secret to the extent our MSM doesn't cover the real facts. Which now introduce the initial narrative of the article I posted, how conspiracy theories become weaponized. So as we go out into social media land and attempt to draw attention to the facts, we get labeled to the bad nature its been conditioned to now be. I'm not attempting to make this personal by any means, or be negative. But you've now went another route with your initial reply and still seem to be conditioned to only one manor conspiracy theory can be possibly used, and you're leaning heavily to the bad and secretive. I'm simply attempting to get you to give both the good and bad an equal playing field as to determine which is which as to differentiate which one is being applied. Once we get people to see this light then they can more likely see when the publicly open conspiracies are con jobs. Then getting them to more reliable news sources can be more easily applied.

While I'll agree with much of that, what then do you relate our interference in many countries? We are just another brutal dictator for resources? Justified by what means? Many of these areas in the Middle East had a population in which many religions mingled together with no to few issues. The relevant issues being extremist factions that created strife, often at the behest of western interest. Syria would be staunchly relevant to your reply being it was a area of desired control by a hand full of secular people. It was in a sense a gateway from one region to the other where a vast mix of people used the region for trade and desired control. Assad surely was left with a quagmire for a region. That struggle still exist today and will for some time under current measures being applied. Diplomacy within a unified society of nations to you isn't an option I take it. We're just not advanced enough to shred our primal instincts yet? So we should just go with the flow of the ruling class agenda?

In which that combination alone should give you good cause to question both parties and candidates. Which is one of the agendas of this group, dissent against both corrupt parties.

In Venezuela's case, and much of Latin America, most of these people are of the lighter skinned population that are descendants of the Europeans who initialized the colonization in the past having benefited from such. This is where we get the most false rhetoric on comments of dissenting views when we visit certain sites attempting to get the truth out. They're not supporting their country so much as they are supporting the capitalist systems wanting to continue to tear them apart, or make their way in.

@FearlessFly in my group here on the welcome page I provide a list of sources that cover about every aspect of our society towards understanding our politics and the world in a different light. Towards the bottom of this page above the videos is enough resources to give anyone a start in seeing a completely different view of the world and a more factual news base. https://agnostic.com/group/unempire/post/418901/welcome-to-out-of-the-illusion-im-just-a-slave-in-a-world-raised-by-kings-and-queens-who-used The hardest part of these sources for some people are those so engulfed in the establishment rhetoric when it comes to my RT America links. But these links provide sources and information that our main stream media will not cover under the facade of it being a Russian government entity. The Americans on these programs have been provided a place to get better news out to us that no MSM will allow in public. I challenge anyone to use them and attempt to provide a debate of substance against the factual information on them or any of those on the list. This list is my most trusted sources. Rating is needed? An ignorant population is easy for conditioning. Victim to perception management and a manipulated narrative. Our present society has been purposely created to take time from us to properly educate ourselves to the realistic happenings at home and around the globe. Social media and the cell phone everyone is addicted to are tools they use against us to that nature. Most people aren't going to take the proper time to put into finding real news, and any algorithm created for such is going to be just another tool used against us. Why I might say this? Where and who is going to provide them? It will be the very tech companies and media floor mates already in control working against us. Under direction of the government and billionaires who own the government. If you put together the sources as I described above, they will in turn direct you to the false narratives within their work quite often to compare with their work. Often providing links and information they use to their own narratives. We can not rely on the ruling class to do our wok for us! We must unite as the working class and educate each other. One person at a time, filters down the line.

When you're only free due to constrained participation and compliance to criminality around you, where in is the democracy? Did you perhaps miss the 2016 elections where all sense of democracy was strangled by both establishment parties and the main stream media? Where the DNC openly admitted in court ,via their lawyers, they have the right to chose their chosen candidate. As they spearheaded a fraudulent primary with the help of the media to quell Sanders campaign. Miss the circus of 27 participants within the republican party primary in which the media at the behest of the DNC and Clinton to propel Trump to the front. The degree of voter purging and oppression of independent voters, uncounted ballets, horrific confusion at caucuses filled with corruption. This is the same system that is working in Hong Kong supporting and funding those protest. A mix of both top republican and democrat politicians, US intelligence, the Trump administration, a number of NGO's (non government organizations) who have a history of spreading freedom and democracy. Ask the world how well that usually works out. Since WWII, not so well. As I attempted to communicate in the initial post, Hong Kong is not what the world establishment and deep state have conditioned the world into believing it is. It's essentially 427 square miles of corporate corruption that went from 3,000 inhabitants scattered in a dozen fishing villages to 7,460,918 since the British took it over. The last thing these people are planning to install there would be freedom and democracy in the sense most American's believe they have. Poverty is high and housing is high cost. What's going on in Hong Kong has nothing to do with freedom or democracy. It has everything to do with who controls the corporate and banking entities and the benefits that come with them. From both China and abroad.

@Leetx yet none of them went to jail due to the narrative of the investigations. They were convicted of crimes other than and outside of the fake Russiagate probe. In which it was the duty of the DOJ and congressional process of approval of Trumps administration that should have prevented these people from "his inner circle" from being appointed in the first place. So the "fact" of the matter is that you should be asking why our government allowed these people in, in the first place. If you don't think they had and knew all this information at hand in the first place, I have the proverbial bridge to sell you. No, 17 intelligence agencies did not say this. The "fact" of the matter is that a combination of people from 4 intelligence agencies worked on the DNC data base to determine that. {NYT Finally Retracts Russia-gate Canard} https://consortiumnews.com/2017/06/29/nyt-finally-retracts-russia-gate-canard/ Your "facts" were exposed to be lies from the work of the VIPS long before NYT's finally retracted their story. Which you can find that retraction story within the article I provided for you above. Which was posted in this group some time ago. The "facts" you believe from the DNC and their main stream media have mostly all been proven to be false. The DNC was not hacked, it was most likely a leak. As best, all evidence in the data base lacks evidence of a hack. Meaning it was either a leak or the data base was manipulated taking the path in to the data base out to cover someones tracks. ( US Intel Vets Dispute Russia Hacking Claims) https://consortiumnews.com/2016/12/12/us-intel-vets-dispute-russia-hacking-claims/ (Hillary Clinton’s Deceptive Blame-Shifting) https://consortiumnews.com/2017/06/01/hillary-clintons-deceptive-blame-shifting/ More on this from Robert Parry above discrediting the 17 intelligence agencies false claims. The "fact" that you still believe this falsehood today is quite frankly very disturbing! I suggest you spend more time here where we provide more intellectual and factual news sources. As far as Trump's bankruptcies and family concerns. You direct them towards me as though I am a supporter of his and support his actions. I assure you I am not and do not!

William_Mary replies on Nov 28, 2019:
rogerbenham pretty much sums it up. Establishment is a referral often used towards the 2 party system we have in the US, especially by dissenting opposition to their ways of governance. Deep State would be the reference towards the ruling class the establishment works for. The ruling class is made up of the most wealthy in the country, corporations, bankers, wall street, some add the intelligence agencies to this also. The ruling class are vastly the major beneficiary entities to our current laws and passing legislature today. Often with corporations playing a part in developing our laws today through lobbying and pay to play schemes. The energy corporations and healthcare industries are vastly known as major players in this that make the news most often. Chemical companies are among the top also. Banking institutes. If you follow politics closely enough you'll find people from these entities in every presidential administration who end up having great influence on every presidents policies for the past several decades. These entities manage to get their millionaire and billionaire people into administrations to curve policies to their benefit then return to their profession to reap the rewards when that administration ends or they achieve their goals. In which they often do (achieve their goals) unless they are caught on unethical issues or other questionable matters are brought out about them. Almost every president in recent history ends up with someone from a banking institute or wall street as their financial adviser. They leave a very lucrative million dollar a year profession to serve in a administration for a couple of years or more, then go back to that profession and returning to their yearly income again almost certain to get millions in bonuses for their time in the administration and accomplishments. Trump has the most questionable administration in the history of our country in every aspect of our governance! In which both establishment parties allowed to go into place with little lip service in compliance. What little progress we were making towards the environment, education, homelessness, poverty, housing, veterans, healthcare, immigration, add your concerns here, we are now going backwards because of these types of ruling class people and entities.

My comment was more towards present times within the Russiagate scandal with the Trump administration. While I agree with the convictions, there is obviously a doubled standard being used by those conducting the hearings and those they are convicting. In both cases, both Russiagate and now Ukrainegate, the representatives have used numerous statements of unfounded accusations and false narratives that have highly suggested material opposing those narratives and accusations they've used as a means to control a conviction. And most of those convictions were basically leads to lying to the FBI or during hearings that actually had nothing to do with the initial reasons for the investigations. But lead to other activities outside into other crimes. Which I have for the entire period of these last 3 years been saying these are all measures the DOJ should be accountable for, for allowing to happen in the first place. If they were actually to have done their job Trump should have been crushed from making it past much more than a couple of debates. His appointments to his cabinet and administration should also have been crushed for the amount of conflicts of interest, and or experience, in each of them, and those who had been working for foreign governments as private contractors. These were all duties of the DOJ and confirmation hearings, especially on the part of the democrats, that went totally unchecked essentially going through with ease. I would also argue that each republican candidate in the 2016 primary were in compliance as their campaign organizers didn't seemingly dig the Trump dirt out either. I underscore, seemingly. As my use of compliance. That's what these people do for their candidates, find dirt. And Trump has a mountain of dirt behind in 2 states. This is quite frankly information the DOJ already had knowledge of in most cases and remained silent to allowing the circus to continue from 2015 to today. Ukrainegate isn't about a new discovery! It's an ongoing saga of government crime that happened in 2016 under the direction of the DNC that has been swept under a rug in which the entire DC core of corruption are attempting to whitewash. But Clinton got caught with her hand in the cookie jar and lost to another criminal that wasn't even suppose to be able to win. Right now we are suppose to have the first woman president with a republican controlled house and senate with the appearance of a functioning government while the country continues to move right non the less. But the misstep of the DNC the corrupt DC core is taking total advantage of the nationalist movement that ended up in power while they can. Why do I say this? Because if the republicans were actually serious about their opposition to the impeachment hearings they would be ...

I imagine it would create a major stir if they did that to her and Sanders, but if all reports are true about her and the Clinton tie it's just a matter of time for her to sell out. And she'll have a Clinton response for doing so that sounds plausible to her supporters. I really hope Sanders pulls it off. Because he'll end up showing himself to be just another Obama. And then there's no other way for people not to start seeing the truth other than simply being compliant with more bullshit excuses. With only 1 year left to go it's obvious there's still not enough people awake to the corrupt country we live in to actually be brave enough to want and fight for change like we see going on around the globe around us. We'd rather allow this ruling class and their capitalism to slowly kill us and the next couple of generations off while more people are forced into poverty and the streets. And dammed if it even means our own families.

I was leaning Hawkins until he started spouting off about Russia propaganda. Directly attacking RT America. Yet he appeared on On Contact a while back with Chris Hedges and never mentioned a word about this. It would have been interesting to see the response from Hedges had Hawkins done so. I watch RT quite often and never get a sense of propaganda leaning towards any favor ability to be directed into a perception of Russia over America in any means of right or wrong. What I do get though is a diverse set of programs of American journalist and reporters who provide a staunchly more factual report and coverage of events. The Rick Sanchez Show actually has investigative journalist who travel the world to provide information for his nightly reports. Covering different issues you don't see on MSM. Unlike all other MSM outlets who's desk reporters typically rely on the work of other journalist who all use repetitive narrative each night covering the same crap each night for days to weeks. You can spend 4 to 5 hours a night on MSNBC, for example, and all 4 to 5 hourly shows are repeating the same perception management with the same agenda narrative management. The difference between Sanchez and MSNBC is like night and day. Sanchez providing the light within the rabbit hole MSNBC pulls its watchers into. RT's daily news covers events around the world to the likes of which you'll never get from our MSM without a mention of American news. They also have a weekend news that repeats every few hours and special documentary type like hours of quite import going on's of various people world wide that I've never seen our news programs do in my life time. It's essentially like the history channel without the narrative and perception management. Raw footage without an agenda. The only sense of propaganda one could come out with from the shows from RT are from the actual people doing the shows that admittedly describe to the viewers their content isn't like the other news you get from MSM. Rick Sanchez's moto is actually, "lets do news again". They've all gotten together and did a small advertising skit to that narrative denouncing the fake news we get from MSM that plays between shows. It has nothing to do with Russia. In the video when talking about elections he doesn't bring up purging!?! Which Greg Palast has exposed by the republicans. Or what happened in 2016 by the DNC and Clinton's campaign!?! Or how the NSA has the ability to catch all this other interference of the countries he mentioned, but don't. Or provide the proof when they claim they do. This is scary to me and gives me great pause. I have to give him a lot more thought now! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9xZZTlzThTo

I'm sure there is a major shift coming up and those in power on both sides do not want to deal with it. Obama and Hillary are not brought up because neither of them are in power right now. Bringing them up is distraction and disinformation. Apples and oranges that Trump hopes you will be concerned ...

@DenoPenno {You seem to be falling for the same distraction and disinformation as everyone else.} No, I want Biden to pay for what he helped to do to that country along with all the rest that collaborated in the murders and genocides. I want Obama to especially be held accountable! I want the truth of Russia involvement to be publicly acknowledged over the fake media using them as a fear factor. I want it to lead back to the 2016 primary where the DNC and Clinton got away with totally destroying what was left of democracy. I want Seth Rich's murderer and those in that conspiracy to be held accountable. I want Julian Assange freed over the false narrative he's in prison for before they kill him. Preferably before he loses his mind and ability to become healthy again. If you were to take the time to watch the video I post today of Aaron Mate's discussion with his father Gabor Mate, Mr. Mate explains how fear is used against us through propaganda. That discussion is a tool towards enlightenment on a few aspects.

{Progressives account for 72% of Democratic voters.} I'm curious to whether that number is figuring in Independent voters in the general election. In 2016 the numbers were 26R 26D 48I. Many states with different laws oppressing Independents from participating in their primaries. But that's roughly 74% of voters who share basically, closely, the same political ideology that can be worked on together. That's enough of the population to carry a 3rd party behind a united front against the ruling class parties.

@DenoPenno well the Ukraine shit is all bullshit. I can think of reasons each president should have been hauled out of the white house since Reagan. Which leads right back to the Ukraine bullshit. They have all broken the law, ethical conduct rules of governing, committed crimes against society, and lied their way through all of it while congresses and senates have played out numerous facades in investigative hearings. We have no real sense of a government working for the people in any aspect! And your stuck on Trump. Their mission as far as direction has been accomplished. It's not about the LBGTQ society being large enough to secure an election. Or gun people of either side. It's about society as a whole who find common interest in how they want their society. As I stated in my last reply, the LBGTQ society vastly leans to the left supporting democrats. The problem with that is that there is no left, left anymore. The left started leaving during the Nixon era. By the time Bill Clinton was done the left was gone. The democratic party has retreated back to the days of their racist times joining the republican party against working class people also for the benefit of corporations and the ruling class. They don't care if they lose to Trump!!! I've been saying this since the 2016 primary when I realized Sanders was a con artist.
