@altschmerz well look how Obama came upon us, forced on us, and then what he became. Look at who he supposedly went up against in 2008. Who he then made his SOS. Then she became the 2016 candidate who through a rigged system took out Sanders and brought us Trump. You might see a correlation of ending results if you think it out. Clinton held as much power in world politics as SOS by most means. As does a republican Senate. Look at the effects of it on our country. The resource in India is at the moment swimming in an atmosphere of nationalism within a fascist nature that isn't much different than our own right now. I wouldn't consider him or her to be looking at us from a different perspective, but from the same perspective within a more diverse religious society. In which some are under attack today within a country undergoing major changes. Decency in politics is often well hidden until you've been called on towards leadership of the deception. Obama is the poster child or horrific lessons learned on this. I still have a bad taste in my mouth from 2016 to want to think about taking another bite off Sanders catering.

The deception of a liar.

Along with it coming out that questions in the debates were being leaked to Clinton before hand. Halting the Sanders' campaign's access to DNC databases on bogus charges for nearly 2 days. 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.

William_Mary replies on Dec 15, 2019:

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.

William_Mary replies on Dec 15, 2019:

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.

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?

You seemingly missed the 2016 republican primary and their facade of 27 candidates which lead by the main stream media propelled Trump to the front within billions of free air time, lead by your dear Fox news, for Clinton and the DNC. 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. As you go on to bash Sanders who was the most legitimate candidate one could possibly see at the time. Seriously!?! How is it people like you can see when one side is corrupt but miss when the side you support are the same in mirror fashion, often, obviously, in collaboration with each other? Giving you no right by any means to be throwing the word hypocrite around! Socialism is a bad thing when we want it to work more towards society rather than as a welfare check to corporations and bankers depleting our treasury and social programs!?!

Many immigrants now vastly come from the right of their countries who supported the opposition to overthrow their democratically elected governments. Fleeing as the chaos would start. 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 nearly unfriended him. 🤣 Warren is iffy. Sanders I think could pull it off. I believe it's just a matter if time before Warren shows her true colors. She's going to go to the suits eventually. I'm just waiting now for the curtain to be drawn that exposes she's getting pac money through the back door now somehow like AOC was. Why? Because all those who were writing off big donors were having their campaigns blacklisted and denied vendors. Why isn't her campaign being blacklisted? 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 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.

{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.

William_Mary replies on Nov 9, 2019:

@DenoPenno Trump isn't suppose to be the President today. All indications were that Hillary was going to win if you had listened to media and polls. But he miraculously managed to win the electoral collage, pulling it off at the end of the night, to everyone's unsuspected surprise. So at any given point the rules or party conduct can be changed, as we seen with the DNC, the delegates and collage can determine who wins within a blink of an eye. Why? Because it's all a scam. Why? Because you and I don't matter and don't get a count. Why? Because between the republican party and democratic party enough people are purged from the system to make it easier to take the obvious out of the equation. 2016 was the largest example of how both parties managed to chose their primary candidates against all odds to show every American that the voting system we have is simply one major joke. It now has neon lights all around it that spell out suckers. I don't understand where you're trying to go with the LGBTQ statement. As stated it makes no sense. All I can give you is that the majority tend to vote democrat. Are you attempting to claim they are changing for some reason or leading to making that a point? Sames as with guns. Guns are a party issue, what is it you're attempting to say to me. The only issue with guns is within the democratic party supporters. Those that want guns take away and those that request better background checks. I think its safe to say most republicans support the false narrative of the 2nd amendment and conditioned NRA agenda. I don't put much thought into the talk on what's going towards the predicted future by the media or even my own sources I trust knowing it's all conjecture until the bottom line has a period. Think for yourself using the information provided. Everyone has a projection towards conjecture. It's a lot more interesting when yours comes out being right or close to being right, than having discovered you been duped again by the perception management squad.

William_Mary replies on Nov 3, 2019:

@DenoPenno that's where you lose in my opinion. It's the past politics that lead to today's policies. You're unable to recognize the relevance of both parties policies that lead to Trump. That's exactly why you're trapped in the rhetoric of getting rid of Trump rather than getting rid of the policies that created him. While you accuse me of me of losing talking points, you seem to be trapped in the same rhetoric of talking points provided by the other side of the media and establishment. While I instead recognize both sides and view the entire spectrum as a facade. Getting rid of Trump helps to do nothing to change policies that have been working to the benefit of the ruling class moving the country to the right since the Reagan era. If you can't recognize the relevance you're in the rabbit hole. Book are written by people who also have the same agenda as the main stream media. To manage perceptions, control narrative, condition the population. As with news it depends who's books you're reading. Although Jane Mayer may be a good resource, if you refuse to use her knowledge to connect the republican party to the Koch bothers, their past actions, what good does reading her book do for you.

William_Mary replies on Nov 3, 2019:

@DenoPenno I personally wouldn't vote for a libertarian. Just another tea party under a different name that serves rhetoric lips service on a few issues they know will draw in certain types of voters. My response was geared more towards 3rd parties in general. I look towards the green and socialist equality parties when I vote. Democrats talk of LGBTQ are geared towards understanding that American's have changed towards being more acceptable to their rights to have the same rights within a more diverse society. But it's a facade just as with their talk towards the African American community. If you watched the 2nd video you would find that the Bill Clinton era was nothing of the sort in diversity, but attack. Let's not forget as I have pointed out in the past, the Clinton's not only by legislature brought a great deal of question to their African American relations in the 90's, but also played a role in the crack epidemic of the 80's. As a large amount of cocaine Oliver North was transporting to the US at one time came to Arkansas when he was governor. And as the beginning of this present primary was unfolding, Biden is the old dog of that era and was called out. Just as Hillary was in 2016, and on minimum wage. Who was against $15 an hour before she was for it. You might recall her sudden change of heart in a debate where she let that cat out of the hat from nowhere. Can I get a "lip service". As far as guns, until recently the most call from Americans has been for better background checks. I'm one of them. I own guns and have a CCW for within my state. But there are far way to many people out there with guns who should not be around them. The gun issue in government is being used to divide us though. Not for a means of common sense. And as it's used a amount of false narratives are used over common sense to prevent addressing the issue properly. And those most likely to commit a crime with a gun are those using the false narratives to keep representatives from being able to legislate properly. Falsely using the 2nd amendment, distorting it, for one, falsely claiming left leaning people have committed more mass shootings than their own right leaning supporters. Which is drastically disproved by statistics. Which is why Mary and I went and got our CCWs. I didn't get mine for another false narrative (terrorist) but because of them and the mentally challenged that shouldn't be allowed to own a gun, of any type. Then there's the entire NRA narrative which has changed from their original established founding decades ago. The other war on our representatives that only benefits the gun manufacturers. I say that loosely being I'm certain our representatives probably don't give a rats ass if we kill each other off. It actually benefits them and continues...

William_Mary replies on Nov 2, 2019:

That's the problem. Most will go on unresolved. That's why Trump was installed. Republicans have been winning state seats and governorship's nationwide. 2018 had virtually no impact on that. Of somewhere around 240 unfilled judicial seats left open by Obama, McConnell and Trump have been filling them at record pace turning our courts to the far right. The right wing facade of disdain towards Trump has lead to Trump campaigning nationwide for these runs for governor and seats in which most have won. Despite his total betrayal to his supporters most are still behind him. The democrat party and media have been totally silent on the major jump to the right this country has been undergoing the past 3 years. The MSM has drastically failed to inform the population and hold our government responsible in any means of this. This is because people have been duped in the distraction of the MSM of blaming Trump for everything while the whole shit lot of them, state and national, have been turning the country upside down in compliance. I have been attempting for those 3 years to get everyone in this group to understand this and spread this to your families and friends. I'll repeat this again. Trump is a symptom of the problem that started 5 decades ago. He is a test on the population which we have failed. The establishment now knows they can do practically anything they want and we'll go silently into compliance to it. You haven't seen anything yet. Joe Biden is getting away with a much more horrific crime than Trump committed, and supporters in that party are in compliance to it all for, beat Trump at all cost. That's just one example. Who else? I'd almost think Obama was dead.

How to Pay For Medicare for All Without Raising Taxes: Cut the Pentagon’s Budget With a ...

DenoPenno comments on Oct 26, 2019:

If we went with Medicare for all right now we could save a little money. Big pharma has their foot in the door on this and spreads rumors that it would cost us 91 to 92 trillion dollars.

William_Mary replies on Oct 27, 2019:

They (big pharma) could be right. Or cost proportionally effective to a degree. My problem with M4A is that they and insurance companies are still relatively involved. There's a number of issues that can come out of actually moving to M4A. There's no guarantee that the government is actually going to be able to reduce cost. The end may, and I'm going with, most likely will, end with pharmaceutical companies raising prices to combat their loses. Same as insurance companies. How did ACA (Obamacare) work out? The first year of that program there was a 20% hike in premiums. A lot of people who needed insurance and the existing conditions stipulation got it. Good for them, I'm actually glad they got something. But it came at a cost to others. Employers across the country dissolved their employee healthcare programs leaving them paying 400% more for their premiums. Employers, as this capital system erodes, use the excuse that they need to downsize to make profits. Which also often leads to attacking employee healthcare. Which is exactly what happened in my case. And right now there are companies that have been falling through the cracks. One of the largest industries, the auto industry, is reporting falling sells. They even have a name for it now. Peak auto, or is it peak cars? Many of my co-workers couldn't afford the insurance, hell I couldn't but needed to, and paid the penalty. So these companies were using us to make up the cost for others to have insurance, some with existing conditions who couldn't get insurance otherwise. Those still on employer programs seen/see their premiums continue to rise to this day to continue paying for such also. Basically what we got from ACA was a shift in people without getting, and people getting either forced to go without or pay substantially more. I call that a manufactured inflation rate that really only benefited the pharmaceutical and insurance companies. Well, for those who didn't see it my way also seen it as god send in which Obama became over glorified within. See, this is where politicians manage to self propel themselves to star status. When the few blissfully revel in their win while others, just like them, are caught under the avalanche, we sell each other out. So Obama benefited also on another bad program while managing to con a vast majority of the country. While I explained this to people on facebook, for the better part of 2 years I was called a liar as I explained my situation. It took the better part of 4 years for people to start getting the word down from those around them to finally understand what ACA actually did. And today we still have some that will glorify this corrupt program as though it was the best deal for the country. A deal that came out completely void of its initial ...

There's no proof or evidence of such, or is it stated he did anything to break the law while engaged in his forth estate rights. And he's not a US citizen to even be charged here as such. He simply exposed evidence in our governments wrong doing in which the forth estate was designed for. Evidence that was provided to him from other sources. Not once has it been proven he's broken any laws in introducing his information to the public. Not once has he or WIkileaks had to retract what they have exposed. He pretty much has a spotless record compared to our MSM outlets, that by the way have used his information on numerous occasions.

I on the other hand can not. For the sacrifices he sees as for the nation, I see as murder for the ruling class in which millions in other nations paid the sacrifice. There hasn't been a legitimate war in our part since WWII. And quite honestly, WWI and WWII can be arguably voiced to have been for advancement of the industrial age and military expansion for perpetual warring.

Dating further back to our news arena being slowly taken over by corporations and the intelligence apparatuses, mainly the CIA. I use the word arena because it's a fucking shit show towards forming a delusional reality a vast majority of the population live in, believe in, actually thinking it works, can be trusted, and used to vote from. Spend enough time here, I and a handful of others can put the pieces of evidence together for you. While I do the majority of post here we have a few others that add rather good points and information to help me get this message out. Not all people in this group understand what we are attempting to communicate. Some of them will never understand, will not give it the time to understand, don't want to understand, or will take a considerable amount of time to understand. Please refrain from attacks on these people with name calling or other negative gestures in which such acts degrade the attempt to educate these people, which can lead to deterring them and others witnessing such to stay interested in our goals.

Calling a vast number of people dick heads is surely a means to lose any validity to your argument and or opinion in the future. Quite frankly, that's a major reason we have the type of division in our country holding us from solving our real issues. That cavalier domineering approach to bring people together simply creates more strife and is a magnet for useless empty discourse. Although I come close to that line myself at times when attempting to get a point across, I always attempt to keep it from becoming so personal and towards a means to draw in useful debate to exchange opinions. If I referred to people as dick heads as I attempt to draw them to better news sources and the truth to what our government does I'd never get anywhere. I'll only ask once.

WayneDalton comments on Oct 19, 2019:

Talk about 'fake news'! The deflection tactic of blaming Biden seems to be working.If Biden acted illegally, why was this not mentioned at the time by republicans,since they controlled the house and Senate at the time?

William_Mary replies on Oct 20, 2019:

One good reason would be that a republican senator, John McCain, was a major player in this also. Another reason would be that both parties are pushing the false narrative to fear Russia as being our enemy and involved in a conspiracy to interfere in our elections. Then there's the relationship of at least 2 or 3 of the top American weapons manufacturing companies that have highly initiated the war in Ukraine, lobbying politicians to sell arms to the government they overthrew worth billions to each of them. Deflection tactic? https://youtu.be/UXA--dj2-CY That's Biden bragging about his extortion in Ukraine to get a prosecutor fired. Like I said in the initial post, or leaning towards. I don't know about illegal, yet, but morally and politically wrong. Compared to Trump's actions, not so much unless it can be proven it's merely a political asset. If you want to go that route though, then you're telling me that a sitting president, the top law official in the country, is by law exempt from being able to request an investigation into wrong doing by the politicians and intelligence agencies around him who he's suppose to be able to rely on to run the country? I'm heavily leaning to what Biden did as being illegal though. If he didn't break any political ethnic rules or our laws though, he dam sure played a role in creating a humanitarian crisis, manufacturing of an unnecessary war by the overthrow of a democratically elected government. Which created a civil war leading to ethnic cleansing, the downing of a jet liner with innocent civilians on it which was falsely blamed on Russia. Raising tensions with another world power unnecessarily, again under false narratives in a number of regards involving Crimea and Eastern Ukraine. The entire Obama administration and European SOS Victoria Nuland's department should be investigated in this travesty of humanitarian and war crimes.

As I have mentioned occasionally, all our representatives have ties to Russian companies and politicians. It's not just a party or Trump issue. Lets not forget when Bill Clinton was president he and Yeltsin worked out a deal, involving funding to Yeltsin's campaign, that Putin was mentioned as a power coming in afterwards and viewed to be easily worked with. Which explains how Hillary would be welcomed into his circle. This is the very reason I hold a great deal of reserve to Russia being scapegoated as the enemy of our country. As I do with China. I strongly believe the deep state role of Russia in Syria was to suppress Assad more than to help. Not only on the war front but to control what information Assad could release about actions that took place as the war on terrorism began. Assad has a ton of dirt on the CIA and black opp sites that were ran there as the Iraq quagmire went on. Have no doubt about it, the deep state is a worldwide collaboration of all the ruling class. You don't move a vast amount of your manufacturing to China to make an enemy out of them! While depleting your job sources and destroying your middle class! In other words. As Dore exposes the conditioning our media uses against us, the establishment has created a catch 22 that can be used from cycle to cycle within the media to divide us as they teeter totter the criminal acts they are involved in. All along while they and the ruling class who own them greatly benefit in the wealth and power that come from it. While the vast majority of the public are caught in this rabbit hole of a delusional reality being forced on them by the MSM they are drawn from the reality of what is actually happening around the world. So when a distraction is needed they simply pull out a version to use as a facade to draw attention. The agenda is to keep us distracted so we never have time to actually seek real facts. And when the few like you and I present them, we are faced with establishment rhetoric because all they know are what MSM condition them to know. Evidence? All one needs to do is relate how each side always ends up with their hands in the pot. Neither being left out without benefiting. This can only = collaboration. As Dore exposes in both Russiagate and Ukrainegate aspects, you'll find this goes back decades from at least the Reagan era. The Warren scene greatly reminded me of Gabbard when the guy asked about the DNC rigged primary at a town hall meeting. The deer in headlights look with awkward smile, tongue tied, then the woman from the DNC coming up to take the mic away. The only thing left to expose for us who are awake is who the fuck is writing the script for these actors in DC. It's all show!

I will suggest you post this within a wider audience on the political and general forums. There is also a facebook link for New York in which you might find someone close to you, maybe even someone you know. https://www.facebook.com/xrnyc/?eid=ARDbU8plvWZbdqSPsDA-1CE5aRpg4rDKenBTwkfyfNQgp87BytQkLS7LTrmk5jYPi_FA6M_sVery5qf4 I also would proceed with due caution if you didn't watch the video. Choose your preferred moments at this event carefully and wisely. Some moments at this protest can be of a disruptive manor in which arrest can or most likely will happen. Nonviolent none the less, but a part of their agenda is to push the narrative to be heard which resorts to blocking traffic and other types of public awareness at times. If you participate in such actions your arrest can happen. I went over the program fairly well and it looks like it's pretty well organized for you to pick pieces to avoid such. But with NY police you never know. They have a tendency to invade parks and start arresting people to quell public awareness before it gets much attention. Know when to get out quick. If you don't care, my hats off to you! I wish I could join you.

William_Mary replies on Oct 6, 2019:

That's quite interesting. Now if you were talking about China, or maybe even North Korea, I would consider that to be a legitimate agenda with good reason. If I were Venezuela and a number of other Central American countries I would be one to consider that agenda. Being the agenda of the westernized world is to create false narratives to conger these places. While within their own countries they create a delusional reality to fool their populations into believing those agendas. Using acts that infringe on privacy to misinform their populations of the real reality and quell as much dissent to their agenda as possible.

SiouxcitySue comments on Oct 5, 2019:

In telling this story to a family member I was told it was an old story. My reply was it's not that old and it is a great example of how capitalism can be used to benefit many instead of 1%. Capitalism is, after all, an economic system not a political system.

William_Mary replies on Oct 5, 2019:

Capitalism is said to have been created in Europe, mainly the UK, as it had the largest grip on imperialism and world trade about 300 years ago as it transformed from Feudalism into the industrial age. The industrial age was basically creating a sense of understanding and exposure of evidence of inequality to all of societies. The previous systems mixed with growing world trade lead to power structure wars, unrest in societies. This essentially lead to a need to avoid a total collapse in world affairs. I'll again argue this leads back to the power structure from the grips of the City of London where its elite are sheltered from laws they enforce on us who control all world affairs. All matters of market and currency outside of this little power structure inside of a city, London, around the world merely being arms to that centuries old body. Which is a large reason I suspect the founding fathers of the US were merely a roost to a new nation being a good deal of them came from the very secret societies of Europe and conducted themselves with the greatest forms of hypocrisy within the very Constitution they developed. The 2nd amendment we so often misrepresent is a perfect example as to just who they truly believed should be controlling power. Today their intentions of the 2nd amendment are being orchestrated through the militarization of our police to stifle society from rightful protest. Our politicians now banning corporate targeted protest, even now labeling such as terrorist acts, and allowing private security firms to be hired to quell protest like we seen in the pipeline protest. Boycott Israel? While giving rights in with one breath, they take them away in another. Seriously, the hypocrisy is deafening. I often bring up the warnings we get from so many leaders over times towards corporations and the military complex, right out of the gate from Washington himself right through from Obama, Trump even. I must ask, warnings or conditioning? I find it to be rather more towards threatening! Conditioning all the same. Essentially warning that we have these fake rules and protocols for you to abide by. Take no mind to how we conduct ourselves for we are the rulers. We have the power to crush you otherwise. Any economic system can be used to benefit a society, or as a tool to abuse a society. Even socialism has been used to do such. No matter how you see your preferred system it is composed of all of them in a combined measure. It's simply what the ruling class at the moment in time want to call it and how they want to use it. http://www.solfed.org.uk/a-s-history/unit-1-the-origins-of-capitalism

William_Mary replies on Oct 5, 2019:

That is a good question that the article doesn't go into. But if you're going to break it down to semantics like this, we're all losers when it comes to credit. From one credit company to another we are all victims. This is the system we've been forced into and what our ruling class capitalist survive on. I personally fought against this system for many years until I was eventually forced into it. You might remember a time when you could go to any bank and cash your payroll check. Free of charge! Then banks began slowly charging, more, then more, until you then needed to have an account. I ran out of banks to cash my checks without handing over a religious requirement. Anyways, you lead me towards researching for answers. Seems this story is actually from 2015 in which this move became quite problematic for Mr. Dan Price. Although he made this change without adding more fees, he became a victim of backlash in other areas. It's quite a interesting story. My hats off to this guy! I'll bet there are very few people who come from a background like this that go on to make a move as such.

William_Mary replies on Oct 2, 2019:

Playing this out like they did Iraq? Sanctions for several years killing off as many as possible and weakening citizen support. Only with Iran and Venezuela I don't think it will work. Iran isn't wrapped up in the holy Islam war like the other countries over there and have a decent hold against the types of groups that come with western interference. Much like Iraq did. So it will take another false narrative they believe they can get away with. I don't believe they can push enough ISIS and Al Qaeda into Iran like they did with Syria to break Iran down. Iran will not tolerate that. Lets not forget. Iran was kicking Iraq's ass in their war. It took secret involvement from the UK and US to get Iraq back into that war. And Syria's problem is being to close to Israel. By the time the Russians came in Assad had lost to much. To many fronts to contend on his own. The Venezuelan people know and feel the results of what Chavez did. They want that back! And those that migrated (in the millions) to Venezuela who reaped the rewards of Chavez's era will continue to stay faithful also. That's hard to fight against. With the vast jungle like country sides of Venezuela, you're looking at another Vietnam type of warfare. Leaving you 2 choices. Major losses of life in combat conditions, or nuclear use. Hit and skip in larger cities you might be able to take will lead to years of occupation like Afghanistan.

William_Mary replies on Oct 2, 2019:

Exactly! There are some good millionaires out there. Some good companies. Employee minded towards ownership, shares, and profits. A fairly large group of them want to actually pay more in taxes for a better society. These are not the one's Biden speaks of though! He speaks of the 500 companies that shore their base in his state to keep from paying taxes. This is common sense to a sense of equality towards a better society. Within our establishment and our media in which they own, common sense will not be tolerated and rarely heard of to this nature.

I guess the CIA working within the US has become a norm now, rather than against the rule of thumb, being it's exposed on a regular basis now. But as your audio seems to confirm, with the possibility of this agent being loaned to the white house, he or she just backfired on your potential use of such expertise. So where does Trump's value of his intelligence agencies go from here? He spent his first days mocking them, then using them with a value of faith, to being bitten by them. It has to lead one to wonder, as I so do, that this is all a mascaraed ball.
