Meet the Trump Fan Accused of Registering Democrats as Republicans [msn.
rogerbenham comments on Mar 12, 2020:
She does not seem to gain from this except for the satisfaction of signing up members. Do they pay? Though very small I have to pay a party membership fee. I do wonder how she has gained from the republican party. What stops a republican member voting democrat or vice versa?
William_Mary replies on Mar 13, 2020:
To her the gain is they lose their vote. In our primary you can only vote within the party you're registered in. Switching them to the democratic party or registering a new voter to the republican party against that voters wishes denies them that vote. If she had insight on the voters choice somehow she could have been working on denying a certain candidate a vote. Youth and or Latino going for Sanders for example. Discussions while picking out the paperwork. Simply ease dropping while voters were mingling. T-shirts. The current perception management right now being Trump beats Biden.

Yet you miss the concept of an economic system the relies heavily on capitalist warring that has killed millions over the past 18 years. War has been big business feeding the capitalist system since at least WWI. Weapons manufactures, politicians, and wallstreet love it! The people who make this work are your "greedy evil pieces of shit" in which it is their system to do it from in which their wars help feed it, capitalism. How in the hell do you miss putting those pieces together!?!

@silverotter11 just follow me dam mit :-) No, seriously, you personally already have it in your DNA of knowing the reality of what's going on I've learned! You're on top of the game! Even the best of us fall down the rabbit hole from time to time. What matters is when we catch a root in the ground that stinks and we grab it and use it to pull ourselves back out. There's so many out there that just keep going deeper though. I think I provide a good number of sites on the welcoming page to cover all the bases though. I just wish more people would use them. I try to get at least one article of the main sites I use on the post each weekend to draw people to those sites, in hopes they save them to return and learn more on their own. Another good way to test a fact checking site is to watch where a site or source you feel is predominately good and see where it is on the list and how it's rated. It it has any inclination of being poorly rated you can probably be sure the site has an agenda to sway you towards fake news. If the site has any of the MSM sources under good ratings, RUN, fast. If you have to do a search for a site you like, it probably isn't a good sign. Like Google or Wikipedia they tend to avoid advertising or promoting sites and journalist that are the best. You're almost sure to get the controlled narrative sites and information on the top of the list.

Thanks. I really enjoyed watching that. The third kind begs so many questions. Who does hiring? Who decides what to make/do? Who controls each section? But I really like the idea of employees being part owners.
William_Mary replies on Mar 8, 2020:
Some of the most successful companies are those which are employee owned or employee shared profited. Are they going to be as big as those who are controlling our society? No, probably not anytime soon. But that is not what the purpose initially was. If our society was drastically more like this we'd be looking at a better society and a safer planet. If we had a government with real concern of its citizens, it would have quickly realized the damage of outsourcing our manufacturing and began turning these places into employee owned operations. I don't see any reason to change hiring protocols. This isn't done by CEO's for large scale operations in most cases. With a more unified employee democracy I would imagine they would inject a unionized style person to participate in that procedure also. I don't really see much to change in the other areas you mention either, for the same reasons. For the most part all aspects of a company are ran by people within the same social structure with incomes closely related. The main concern would come with distribution of profits and the ability to change over to another product should that be necessary. In which would greatly benefit equal distribution from one area to another and to reduce transportation concerns keeping societies outside our own immediate areas from falling into disparity. The entire present process of feeding wealth hungry CEO's and stock holders that hold our society back from advancement must end!

William_Mary replies on Mar 8, 2020:
@rogerbenham your stock broker makes a commission on the stocks he or she persuades you to buy. They don't actually have your best interest in mind when they offer you a stock to put your money in. They're going to attempt to sell you what makes them the most, first. Whether that means you're more at risk of loosing money or not. Unless you're someone that actually understands the stock market, which a vast majority do NOT, and can work it to your best benefit, you're essentially betting at the casino from the office of a financial adviser or stock broker, possibly over your phone, while your bookie gives you manipulated numbers. They can offer you a sure way to make a little over time, which isn't going to benefit them much, or they can offer you something the market will reward them better over while you take a high risk of loosing. Older retirees have been making the news the past couple of years having been caught up in these scams. This is a large part of the reason pensions have gone the way of extinction. It's cheaper for companies to draw their employees into 401K's where they (employees) lose their money with each recession over the company's continence in paying out pension funds. Especially with the predatory nature of putting companies out of business now. It doesn't look good when a predatory company purposely ends a decades long successful company business via manipulated means and rips the employees pensions from them. It exposes the fraudulent nature of the destruction of a company as they move overseas rather than injecting money to help it survive. While only the CEO's and stock holders walk off with all the money while in bankruptcy.

William_Mary replies on Mar 8, 2020:
@rogerbenham well the 2008 crash tells us there are over 2 trillion $ in reasons. As you noted, no one went to jail over it. These people from banks, loan companies, and market handlers who purposely created a scheme they knew would eventually fail and be bailed out walked away with over 2 trillion of tax payer money when it was all said and done. Then moved a vast amount of that money off shores to avoid taxes in other illegal schemes. The Panama Papers are still to this day exposing some of the players in that. Today, under Trumps tax laws, those people were able to bring back that money from their off shore accounts at a much lower tax rate and buy back their stocks to once again begin manipulating the market again. In which we have been covering here as they build up another bubble. When the companies fall, as in 2008, they'll bundle them up again in buying the worthless pieces of shit they created and start the cycle all over again. After 2008 Obama made one of the benefactors his economic adviser. His bank walked off with 38 billion in the first round of the initial 780 billion of tax payer bailout money. When it was all said and done via back door agreements it was estimated some 2 trillion was printed up and handed out to these criminals. What little legal actions were done ended in fines to a relatively few amounting in mere millions compared to the billions they all walk away with. That's quite a profitable business to keep repeating, no? Currently Wells Fargo is under investigation, for the second time no less, for creating fake accounts using their customers identities to fraudulently make money. Our government did relatively nothing to them the first time, so they did it again. And from the reports I'm seeing nothing is going to be done again. Good business for Wells Fargo, no?

Yes , taxes and bailouts, yes, because our governments are compliant and owned by the ruling class, yes. It goes so much deeper. Money laundering of and for drug cartels. Which if you took out the 100's of billions in that alone it would be drastically harder for the market systems around the world to continue their pyramid system. Organized crime and sex rings as Whitney Webb exposed from The Mint Press News on her Jeffery Epstein, a 4 part series if I remember right. Each providing essential aspects of money laundering through the system. We are currently under the grasp of a communist style ruled system in which our politicians work for the corporate entities controlling our societies in under the "westernized brand". Along with the information falsely being fed to us. We have been Incorporated. We are mindless slaves! Our reality is an illusion.

William_Mary replies on Mar 7, 2020:
When you redistribute wealth for healthcare from the working class to provide for those where many refuse to work or to put forth an effort to work, you're going to piss a few people off. I was one of them. My employer dropped our insurance program that year drastically increasing my premiums by 400% Many of my co-workers couldn't afford it and went without healthcare. Hell, I couldn't afford it to be honest, it put a major strain on my life in all aspects. And drained what little I had for retirement. Yea, some people actually made out by now having healthcare, at the expense of others loosing it. What we were promised didn't come to any sense of fruition we were told. There's a hell of a better way out there and people are now awake to it. It took nearly 2 years for people to start believing and seeing what I was telling them of my situation. I was called every nasty name under the sun when I stated my case on social media during those 2 years. Some people, families had it worse than me. Many elderly paid a major price also! Quite frankly, anyone who stands on a stage and claims they want to work on ACA to make it better, should be shot in the head as soon as they finish that statement! Another redistribution for the healthcare companies should not be tolerated by any means! Dispose of them once and for all for all time!

Unfortunately I'm prepared to be on the loosing side no matter which party wins. That's the difference between me and a vast majority of the US voters. I'm not voting to win, I'm voting for change. I am a member of the few in this country who isn't voting for who can win or beat Trump. I'm voting for who can change the system with help from like minded people. In which there are none available in DC today. The world hasn't ended with 3 + years of Trump and after the next 4 + it will still be here. Whether it's Trump or the next DC criminal. The question really is, is how much more worldwide murder, people of our own who fall through the cracks of our system, of those who remain in the conditioning of their state of criminality want to keep washing that blood and hard times off their conscience? The fact of the matter is they are as guilty for participating in their system as the establishment politicians. We've had 3+ years of exposure to the devastating truths of the reality of what our government really is. What 18 years of war in the middle east is really about, the false narratives to Syria, Russiagate and Ukraingate. What the DNC really is. Frankly, there is no democracy! What more do they want on their conscience? If they don't have a measure of conscientiousness to this then they are no better than those they keep voting for. You can no longer use a party, your party, to separate yourself from the crimes of nearly 5 decades that have been enduring this. And the past 3 + years have brought that fact out like a nuclear bomb. You're no longer allowed an excuse! You're either in the blast zone or delivering the blast with them now. Trump AND Clinton have really made it that simple for us.

@rogerbenham in respect to healthcare there's no need to tax as I understand it. Under a universal healthcare system we pay for it within the yearly tax system at a lower rate compared to us presently paying from our existing monthly payments to a company saving us hundreds a year. Ending subsidies to profitable corporations alone could pay for re instituting federal cuts to state and local issues. Our national government is currently attempting to abandon any sense of social construct to support society in regards to accommodate a changing social structure as technology and energy bring signs of change. They chose instead to cling on to a dying outdated system rather than to use the future to create jobs as the planet fails beneath us. They allow these corporations and the most wealthy to spend more money buying them off to keep a failing system afloat than it would take if they simply applied that to the issues we face. Hell, we don't even have election cycles any longer! These entities are spending billions from the end of one to the next preparing to undermine society to the amount we shouldn't even have issues! And then people are crazy enough to send their hard earn money to the fucking establishment politician of their choice on top of that!?! That's basically going out and buying a gun and handing it over to the home intruder and getting on your knees as you hand them the loaded gun.

Most of us can't even put the pieces of this puzzle together to understand we are being totally screwed and helping to screw ourselves at the same time. It's insanity! All the money being spent to suppress us is more than it would cost for us all to have what we see as fair needs and income times over. If we all had a unison mind to relate that to our politicians and governance as a whole the game should be over! Key word----game. Why the game? Why can't we all just get rid of the game!?!

And when their lawyers from the DC area showed up at the hearing Mueller asked for a delay in the hearing in which he never advanced or addressed the case again. Other than making the same "accusation" without proof in his report. The entire DNC debacle has been proven to most likely be a manufactured false narrative by independent journalist who can't get their investigations into main stream media.

William_Mary replies on Feb 29, 2020:
Well if you were to observe her Clinton light like actions as many do, you might understand why those of us who recognize this and know of the background noise of her and Clinton's collaborations don't support her. Her cheap shot at Sanders in one debate, then the next she played it off as nothing happened. As did Sanders :-( That was clearly a Clinton advised move that failed miserably. Along with reported regular communications with Clinton and Clinton's promise to Warren to provide her with her donors in high places. In which Warren then made a reversal in accepting certain types of donations she previously denounced, also admitting it was the only means for her to survive in the campaign. This isn't Warren's first rodeo with Clinton either. Warren and Clinton go back a while from approximately when Warren was still at Harvard, an episode where Clinton essentially betrayed over Warren over a bankruptcy reform agreement. I'll post a video of her on the Bill Moyer show below. In the leading writing to the video it explains the interview as follows. {Bill Moyers discusses Hillary Clinton's dramatic shift in policy regarding Bankruptcy reform with Harvard Law Professor Elizabeth Warren in a 2004 interview. Listen to what Warren has to say about why she believes Clinton changed her views. } I will argue what this says and what she says in the video is what today Warren herself has become. This is what DC and really any sense of our political nature, local, state, and national, does to politicians. Even if they go into politics with a genuine sense to do righteous work for the people, the ruling class agenda always trumps their intentions. This has become the Warren strategy if you've followed her and politics properly. If you can't beat them, join them. And joining them means playing the same games as they play. Warren isn't in politics for you, she's in politics for herself. She lives in a power structure that she's come to depend and survive on. Her goal is to survive within it while the driven agenda of the ruling class controls how she does so. Obama made this so evident there shouldn't even be an argument to this anymore!!! But you have to be a serious player in this game as a citizen to be able to recognize the betrayal of our government today. You also have to tear yourself from the conditioning of the main stream media which is owned by the ruling class in which they manage the perceptions of the population still foolish enough to religiously follow them. Left or right. You have to understand that we are under a constant state of propaganda that engulfs us in a delusional reality! If you're not understanding what I'm attempting to tell you, you're not asking enough questions and not putting enough time in finding the real answers. ...
Socialism Without Anti-Imperialism: A Different Flavor of Tyranny
rogerbenham comments on Feb 25, 2020:
Well Sanders is the best choice that you are being given.
William_Mary replies on Feb 27, 2020:
He seems to be the best choice. All you have to do though is look at how he's going about it! As the post and comments here suggest, he's lip service. If Sanders was actually serious he would be doing 2 things. Exposing the establishment for what they really are. And strongly suggesting how he would need help as the president to get his policies through the floors of both congresses. Which Piece2YourPuzzle correctly observes above, it being a practiced manor for about 5 decades now to move this country to the right. Sanders will need a vast injection of like minded people to get anything done. He should also being explaining this and calling for his supporters to also look outside the party for help! His weakness is not rocking the boat enough. Which will drive those who are conditioned to the capitalist perception to vote for Trump. Sanders needs to do like Ross Perot did. Spend money on a half hour of prime time TV and fully expose the establishment history from approximately the Reagan era, also including a full explanation of how his policies can be paid for. And the rest of us could spread that on the internet also!

William_Mary replies on Feb 23, 2020:
I get the argument often when I mention this that the US Constitution is like some glorified book of the Bible. But when you look at where the founding fathers came from and the secret societies some of them belonged to, it just might give one reason to think they weren't running from but expanding the empire. That the ruling arm was making sure it was guarding its new resource. Which is why, as you mention, the seats in the senate were placed by state representatives to protect wealth and property until 1913. One of the very reasons, main reason, for guarding this new resource was the new abundance of lumber. Where Europe had drastically eradicated their lumber resources the new world provided them a means to keep their naval power. Democracy has always been at odds with wealth and power here for a reason. We just need to get people to read between the lines!

@rogerbenham yes, that's one aspect. As I posted to Lorajay above I'll share with you. Teodrose Fikremariam wrote an article much like the one above a year ago. His target however was geared more towards black politicians and also both parties. A version of racism against their own. But Teodrose Fikremariam also wrote a better article that really delved into what I'm attempting to explain as far as how racism being propagandized against us. But with 135 pages of his work I could spend all day looking for it. Mind you, Teodrose Fikremariam wrote part of Obama's victory speech of his 2008 presidential win to later feel the betrayal much as I see in Sanders. He later came to referring to Obama as the first bank president in denouncing his presidency after spending his time working on and in Obama's campaign. Needless to say he found himself quite dissatisfied with Obama's continence of establishment policies over the change he falsely spoke of. You can find a link to all his post in the upper left corner near his picture. It's a golden wealth of great writing in my opinion. He has stepped back from political writing after taking a position of the chair of Ethiopians for Constitutional Monarchy. You can find a great story in Teodrose from a heritage of Ethiopian ruling descent to homelessness and back to where he is today. I know you often question my denouncing of the squad of 4 here, within his articles you'll find much of my reasoning that have helped me develop those opinions. https://ghionjournal.com/observations-malcolm-x/

@rogerbenham unfortunately I have a louder voice with a vast amount of money and potentially more avenues to fool that electorate as an opposition. And breaking them from their conditioned perception management that they are trapped in from those resources seems to be quite impossible as it is a very slow process. Another problem is that even many of the younger generation who are wise to my/our dissenting views, are also being corralled in a fake socialist movement behind the DSA (Democratic Socialist of America). Entrapping them inside a misguided narrative of thinking they can change the democratic party. Between the elder generations stuck in cognitive dissonance and the younger generations with a genuine desire for change stuck in that illusion, I don't know which is worse.

See this is another difference between us and them. We know we aren't going to win voting for who we know might actually begin to bring change. But they don't recognize they aren't winning even if their preferred candidate wins. Nothing of substantial importance will change to bring the change they seek. They don't seem to be able to reflect on the past 5 decades to recognize that nothing has really changed for the good of the country. It just keeps getting worse no matter who's been the president, no matter which party has had control of the congressional houses, even when they've held control of both or all 3.

Bill Clinton was working to get Putin in place as the capitalist were moving into Russia to reap the rewards of the falling Soviet Union. The Ukraine issue of today is all about placing a check on Russia. That's why we are supporting and funding a fascist state there now who wants to commit genocide of the Russian speaking Eastern Ukrainians. They just can't get close enough to Russia so they want to kill off those who side with Russia to get those few more miles in. The entire quagmire of over throwing Ukraine was built over getting a westernized president into power by kicking a president out who was willing to work with Russia. I'm still not convinced though that any of this is legitimate. It serves both capitalist nations to keep this war fear going? Russia never really puts up much of a fight when it comes to supposed backing in nations like Syria and Venezuela. Despite such much of Syria was turned into rubble under attacks by outside forces and still today is bombed by Turkey and Israel without recourse or protective defense. I often wonder just what role Russia is actually playing here! It really seems to me to be a role of inside CIA operative.

William_Mary replies on Feb 15, 2020:
Because they are supporters of Sanders, and or like what they see in him? Some people can't get past the lip service, or don't have enough historic information to develop a worthy opinion. When Sanders came out in 2016 very few people actually knew much about Sanders. Hell, I'd been following him for over a decade at that time and still didn't have all the information I needed to make a worthy right to advocate for him. But I put my heart, soul, time, and reputation into it. As I have explained here on occasion, his questionable voting record, support for and funding middle east wars, pushing hard to move Vermont's nuclear waste to a small town in Texas of a lower income community, impoverished brown people, which I didn't hear about until late in that primary cycle, yet I accepted his excuses to make a bad decision. This article exposes some of the same things I now understand that his supporters today can't face. Most likely they don't know ALL of his history and still believe in Russiagate. A large part is also based on beat Trump at all cost as Sanders is expected to be the one to them. They haven't figured out that Trump isn't the system that brought us Trump. Or that Sanders is part of the system. How he handled himself in the debates on 2016 and ended his campaign proved that. And he's weakish in the debates this time also as he refuses to rock the boat exposing 2016 and many other historic facts he could use. Sometimes I wish there was a test before people would be allowed to vote. But then the establishment would algorithm that also. This is how Obama came out of nowhere and went everywhere. Who the fuck knew anything about Obama? Slick looking with all the right talking. Yes we can became no we can't. 8 years later after GWB policies on steroids people wonder why another trickster lips servicing asswipe con artist was able to use a fair amount of truths to move the country towards fascism. It's never ending it seems :-( The difference between me and most Trump supporters. I see the con I was served. They don't and want more.

William_Mary replies on Feb 14, 2020:
@rogerbenham exactly. I've been covering this for several months now. It's a large part of the reason I encourage the members here to watch the RT programs I have listed on the Welcoming Page, and other for this following reason. For a few months now the programs I watch there have been talking about repo loans in which the FED is dumping billions into the banking system each night. The main stream media just last week has now finally started to talk about it also. Although they aren't really putting out the full scale of what's going on as they still spew out how well the economy is. We are currently, via the FED, blowing up another bubble to cover these banking loans. How long can we possibly continue to just print money out of thin air to cover these loans before the pyramid scheme comes crashing down from to much weight? If you remember they raised the interest rate? For a short period, then dropped it again. Well that's because they figured out the economy wasn't so well off as it created a drop in the market. Now talk is to drop it more, possibly going into negative interest. In Europe a few months ago a collapse of a bank sent interest loans into the negative in some places. These aren't good signs! I need to get ready for work. Love chatting with you though!

@rogerbenham people have been getting elected under the same pretense within the democratic party for at least 4 decades to combat what we see as an attack starting from the Reagan era. They come and go like the seasons because we have an electorate that often switches party when they become dissatisfied with the results from one representative. Which with each time one of these squad members make the headlines in main stream media, that media plants that very seed into the minds of viewers to question what they are actually getting done within their districts. So they tend to either get quickly voted out or reach media silence orchestrated by the establishment. However, AOC having been moved to the popular front gets paraded back out to the front ironically, seemingly, when they need a distraction. I occasionally made my case exposing her as a possible plant in the past to allow Joe to move into the lobbying field. While often being represented in the media as a new comer I have listed a number of aspects to her life that would suggest she's spent her life for this moment. When that electorate, seemingly, either remains uneducated due to perception management, or feels the need for change, it's due to that representatives motivation to remain timid towards rocking the establishment line. At what point to you draw a conclusion it's done within collaboration or incompetence? You're really left with no other considerations?

@rogerbenham you lost me in the last sentence. I see the squad to be the exact way I see Sanders. Tools to keep people trapped in a false hope of saving a failed party within a failed system. Their history is the same as Sanders. Never really exposing the degree of crimes an unethical practices of the establishment parties. Actually participating in a number of ways when it comes to many of the establishments false narratives. Especially when it comes to regime change and cold war issues! Presently avoiding election tampering at a time it matters most. Both in 2016 and 2020. Caving in on issues of importance over speaking out with substance to provide necessary examples of reason to create mistrust. The border issue and unethical use of appropriating funds from the military budget to build a wall to skirt the lack of support from representatives for an example. These are real matters to consider impeachment over the manufactured Ukrainegate. When they are attacked by other representatives and the media they basically allow it to happen never using that moment to expose real unethical practices within the same issue they are being attacked over. If they refuse to use the history provided by the practices of their attackers then they aren't really representing us are they? In all her time speaking out about the border issue and ICE, have you ever once heard AOC spell out the flight of all those people coming here and what drives them to come here? How the policies of Clinton and Biden created the newest wave of them presently being held in detention camps and horrid conditions in Mexico. Of course not, it would go against her own party and her past support of Clinton right after she was elected. And tying them to a collaborate failed system that Trump now uses to inflame the far right would not be tolerated. Just as Biden has managed to escape responsibility for and the rest of the democrats under a democratic administration run by Obama.

@BitFlipper I don't need to spin anything, the flavor is in the pudding. It's the people with no taste buds who for what ever reason miss the facts provided. When people like you claim to see rage from the screen of what ever device they are using are simply making my case as using the conditioned rhetoric the establishment and their media tool use of perception management have installed in them to base unsubstantial attacks from. If I was wrong you would have attacked the information from the substance I provided over attacking me in such a manor, conducting a useful debate. So that leaves options open. You either didn't watch much if any of the discussion leaving you out there talking shit and attacking without knowledge which you can't base a decent debate over because you've been conditioned to react a certain way. Or you simply can't raise any amount of substance within fact to base a debate on that which goes against what you believe. The last one can be the result of a couple of issues. But I'll give you more respect than you give me being that one or more reason would be negative factors which would be disrespectful for me to assume on a public forum. Like you did in at least one occasion above if not two. As you often do, or do not I should say, is provide any sense of substance on these forums towards helping solve the issues of today's politics. You really only hamper the issues more. So I must then ask, who then holds the rage? I think that one who attacks people, opinions on substance, rather than provide civil discussions with substance is the one who holds that rage.

Another measure on floor votes is the amount of times when representatives vote for a favored bill but then go on to never fund it. They get to march out in front of the cameras to boast how good it is while you never are told when/if it wasn't funded. You only find this out when some journalist digs deep enough to inform us. Or when some one manages to get funding in which the project went incomplete, sometime never started, yet walked away with millions of our tax dollars. Charter, online, and private schools are quite notorious for this. Many of these also embedded in fraud. In which is a large reason our public school systems are falling apart. I can't count the times that Sanders has walked out in front of cameras after voting for a bill he supported that had questionable ear marks attached to it and other questionable aspects, to claim it had some good things in it. It is one of the very things I ignorantly overlooked when supporting him thinking he was attempting to do good. I call them blackmail bills. But as I look back now I realize these were the only times Sanders was really permitted much time in front of cameras back them. Which indicates it was only a facade to support the establishment politicians and capitalist. I would like to see a record of how many of these times of what he voted for were actually fully funded and worked out for the better of society.

William_Mary replies on Feb 9, 2020:
@AnneWimsey that may be the case and I understand what you're saying. But interstate cross check takes place before you vote. The suppression is occurring behind the scenes without those effected knowing until they go to vote. In Iowa last week, if the one precinct hadn't posted their numbers publicly then they wouldn't have known headquarters fudged their numbers when they recorded them in the official count. Where was that check and balance at there? And how many precincts where they didn't post publicly went undetected and went in the official count wrong. Information coming out has been stopped, which is was the case in 2016. Discrepancies were reported, ballots were left uncounted, law suits were filed, then no information came out. ! million votes as Palast reported were not counted. Do you remember the California quagmire? He wasn't talking nation wide, that's 1 million in California alone! It was a state Sanders was expected to win and reports were that some 3 million ballots were never counted. So Palast even gives us a quite lower number. And that type of ballot issue went nationwide with no information after complaints were filed. I really don't mean to harp on you! I just want to get the idea out that our elections are not realistically democratic and flawed in a number of aspects. And the point the discussion rises is that both parties are involved in suppressing our rights to vote in a democratic nature for a reason. And neither of them have any intent to change that for a reason. If we were to have a real sense of a voting democracy the country would become a different place that they don't want to take us.

And within that time he has proven me right time after time with his actions, leaving his talk behind him in an empty vessel of a facade. Many have come before him and many afterwards.

We are not a member of that club to be watched over for. When neither party is calling out the other there's no other way to look at it other than a collaborate effort to suppress democracy. From the start of this nation democracy has always been at odds with wealth and power with intentional limitations put on the people to produce a fully functioning democracy. From start to today they have always managed to suppress the peoples will. Much of it from the hypocritical Constitution, to today's technology in various ways. Do you seriously think headquarters are going to make a difference when they are working within the same system that has an agenda to suppress your vote for the benefit of the oligarch that controls them?

We went from what many thought would be Biden as the preferred conqueror of Sanders. Now with his failing campaign it seems the establishment is gearing towards making it Pete Buttigieg. As Max then questions his campaign if it fails, as it should as he's being exposed, he thinks they will turn to Bloomberg. They refuse to put their power behind the candidate who is polling the strongest with the American people. Even though many people like me now see Sanders as a con artist, rather than use his 2016 experience against him, as Clinton did his voting record, rightfully so, they're more than willing to keep using him as the socialist to stop that movement. And Sanders by all rights should still be in Iowa screaming bloody foul, and from the stage last night massing his supporters. But he instead is basically speechless and going to allow them to walk over him again. It was all over his face last night. The same face I seen at the convention after he folded in 2016 when he didn't fight there as he promised. They are perfectly just as happy with another 4 years of Trump. None of them will feel the damage we feel! as the country continues to keep moving right. Their children are not being killed in their wars. They will make back their money after the next recession or depression. Their above the laws stature will not be taken way as ours and those who speak out against them rights are. Their world will not change as many will have theirs crumble under them.
Interstate cross check, that handed him (Donald Trump) the election more than anything.

Any post I make that includes this groups mention as above is also either posted to the Politics Page and or my new group, Out Of The Illusion----Video Versions. https://agnostic.com/group/exodusestablishmentparties So that people on the Politics Page have knowledge of this group as I attempt to draw exposure to our establishment crime lords :-) I tend to try to keep that to most relevant post of that nature as not to flood this group with unwanted establishment rhetoric. I've found that if I share the group link to much with simple shit people should know about , it seemingly draws in the rhetoric hacks. It seems if I post content there that's hard to debunk, those types of hacks avoid coming here. Which is why I started this group. I was spending way to much time on the Politics page and another group fighting that type of rhetoric with people who just don't want to see the truth or to lazy to redevelop their opinions with facts being presented. Lacking tolerance for alternative news sources and constantly spewing establishment rhetoric against sources like RT America displaying cognitive dissonance. It was giving me mental issues sending me back to 2016 as I was advocating for Sanders :-) Some people just aren't ready to break the hold of their conditioned MSM reality.

A curious statement, am wondering how accurate R/T news is and have you ever fact checked R/T ? I’ve seen their news broadcasts, they present a more alternative view than msm, usually find the host too casual to be taken seriously. Observation.
William_Mary replies on Feb 8, 2020:
Quite frankly, if you apply history to the information provided by RT, the answer to your question is that its validity rarely can be questioned. Despite all the establishment rhetoric about RT, they provide a more informative unbiased source of news and world views than the westernized news media. I will argue that RT America based in DC has several news sources and shows of dissenting views that highly rate above any news source in the US when it comes to amount of information and facts. The only show I don't spend my time on from the RT America group is Larry King. He is often an open mic to establishment rhetoric and glorified stars that often tow the establishment line in many regards. As one of the group who claims to question more, he often fails to do that.

@RoboGraham see I have a problem with that for this reason. When Perez comes out blaming the state chief election official of running a bad electoral process when the app they were forced to use came from democratic elites, taking no responsibility at all, via non disclosure/mentioning of that information, it creates a major concern to just who is running what. In one case where a precinct made their counts public going on to be misrepresented in the official count and having to be adjusted. Of course that misrepresentation favored a person in connection with the app! But how many other precincts did this occur at. Along with a very questionable coin toss. Again, how many of those. Then when you have a CIA like manipulation of dropping the official line number to the public to flood the phone bank for reporting the counts. The very same person from above who seemed to benefit from this a product of the CIA. Just so happens to have overcome all odds of miraculously jumping from 4th in the polls to being tied for the lead.

William_Mary replies on Feb 8, 2020:
Well yea, it is a problem. It's part of my agenda here to make that clear. It's a rigged system by both parties in which I attempt to get that message out. Each party plays different roles in voter suppression. The republicans, for the most part, use a system of purging in which Greg Palast has exposed and speaking against for several years. Deeply used in the southern states. The DNC pulled that page out in 2016 in the New England states. Along with shutting down online registration sites 2 to 3 days before the deadline. Along with switching voters party affiliation without notice. In Iowa they sent people home with provisional ballets claiming they didn't have enough forms to do the caucuses that would not be counted. Attacking all the areas that were considered to be heavily leaning Sanders, his home turf. As I have stated in this group on numerous times, it's in collaboration between the parties to move the country to the right. If I were wrong then please feel free to explain to me why neither party confronts the other, AND why the media doesn't cover it. The only way to combat this corruption is a massive exodus from both parties and overwhelmingly vote for a 3rd party who actually has a real concern for the people. We are not ever going to get that from the 2 party establishment. I personally turn to 2 parties now. The green party and the socialist equality party.

William_Mary replies on Feb 1, 2020:
I personally believe the DNC and Clinton felt Sanders would be the perfect opponent to easily beat in that election. Able to use him as a single challenger while using his claim of being a socialist against him. Martin O'Malley basically unheard of was window dressing and quickly disposed of. So they were attempting to avoid what happened in 2008 with Obama using the socialist managed perception in regards to Sanders. I've been following Sanders for over a decade. Having first learn of him during my time as an over the road truck driver about 2006. Listening to Sirius Radio there's a program on the Left Channel called the Thom Hartmann show. He has a 3 hour show in which on Fridays he had an hour dedicated to what he called Brunch with Bernie each week. The first politician I found with ideology that resembles mine. Anyways. I believe the DNC and Clinton made a grave error in underestimating how many people there are who understand the Marx ideology of a true socialist means of production theory who see the effects of capitalism. As I spent that time on facehack advocating for Sanders, I also witnessed many people in comments I communicated with who were changing party affiliation, or looking into such, to vote for Sanders. Independents who needed to and republicans. You might be surprised at the number or republicans who no longer recognize the party as one they've been a part of for decades, of all ages and generations, who were changing to vote for him. He blew that! Many went back to vote for Trumps con job. Sanders put up a pussy fight in the debates. I was using Clinton's neoliberal history and litany of lies while he merely used a few talking points on repetitive mode, never exposing the real person and politician she is. And I'll argue he is doing the very same thing today especially concerning Biden. He remained silent even though the writing of rigged was all over the election from day one starting in Iowa. He still remains silent to it today not using it as a cause for himself. Or how about this, out today, will he remain silent? DNC Insiders Plot Return of Superdelegates to Stop Sanders at Convention https://truthout.org/articles/dnc-insiders-plot-return-of-superdelegates-to-stop-sanders-at-convention/ This would again reward him the justice to finally speak out the truth of that party it gave him in 2016. They gave him in 2016 a valid reason to run as an Independent when they screwed him and his supporters. He had a duty to his supporters to carry on that revolution! We shall see though. Win or lose his true colors are about to be exposed. I'll say again in my opinion.

William_Mary replies on Feb 1, 2020:
I argue a democratic win would not have been better. I also often theorize that Trump might have been preordained to be the winner. Clinton's foreign policy, especially towards Syria, was more war hawkish than Trumps con speak. Her past history as both from within the white house of her husbands administration and time as SOS speaks volumes towards this. You want me to believe that the amount of support Sanders had in 2016 alone, but now combined with 2020, which is a 1000 times greater than Perot, Nader, and Stein, combined at all times of their runs, is not enough support to run as an independent!?! As using the full exposed truths of our governance and media tactics to serve the deep state. If a genuine Sanders took his support to the Green Party as invited in 2016, he could have probably put that up to a win. A genuine socialist would have taken that popularity to SEP over the past 3 years and built a winning presidential run. You have to also consider that the polls, primaries, and caucuses were all rigged with the help of media collaboration. So what you might believe as being a loss was most likely a significant win. All indications told a completely different story than was being reported. Crowd sizes at rallies. Crowd sizes at caucuses. In which at caucuses people were sent away falsely with provisional ballots. There are no provisional ballots for a caucus! You have to be present for your vote to count in what is basically an all day/night event. If the count is to close to declare a winner or tie, the 2 camps of supporters then mingle and attempt to sway others to their side. In which in all cases in Iowa Sanders supporters outnumber Clinton supporters greatly. What happened in Iowa set the tone for all the rest of the chaos in concerns to caucus states. Shutting Sanders surrogates and supporters out of meetings and counts, then refusing to allow observance and recounts. Note, even all national polls had Sanders beating Trump with high single to double digits compared to Clinton losing or barely ahead. Same as today with Biden or any other. No, Sanders had what it takes, but he blew it. If those of us who now no longer believe in him seeing the con he pulled were in the numbers he'd be showing landslide right now. I simply don't even believe the numbers being posted about him today. Yea he's pulling in big crowds again today, but where do these people come from? You think maybe all those 2016 Clinton supporters just miraculously support Sanders now. I don't think so. But hey, take note. With any luck I'll be here when it's over. And when it is, win or lose, I'll be pointing out how he conned his supporters again.

In which the younger generations are seeing and attempting to change for their future wanting to introduce socialism into that future.

William_Mary replies on Feb 1, 2020:
@rogerbenham that's where we have to do the work. It's imperative we use this alternative tool (the internet) to spread the word. With most of the younger generation and millennial's now favoring socialism, our interest is now to get them on the right path towards socialism's truest means. Right now there are to many that are trapped in the illusion of what the DSA (Democratic Socialist of America) are falsely detailing as a socialist movement. Their true intent is capturing and trapping them in the illusion of saving a failed democratic party using people like Sanders and AOC. Who's policies, as those of establishment democrats, will amount to no real change. Such as AOC's Green Deal, operating and relying on corporate interest towards a goal set well under the needs of the present needs to fight today's conditions. Not only is it to little to late, but corporations have no real interest in changing and will fight tooth and nail to drag out any real sense to change. Where the Green Party's initiative is to quickly move from fossil fuels to alternative energy sources creating millions of jobs at the same time. AOC's initiative greatly dismisses this element. Both Sanders and AOC have shown their true nature with supporting much of the same policies as the establishment representatives of both parties. Glorifying war mongers, supporting false Venezuela, Russiagate and Ukrainegate narratives, omitting important facts and history on several issues to keep the establishment line and perception management alive. That would actually give people still reliant only on main stream media a new interest in seeking and finding the information they aren't being told of by that media. When these politicians speak of a news source in which they operate from and develop an opinion from to form a comment, it's never an alternative news source! That's on purpose! It's sticking to the establishment agenda. It's always from a main stream media source. Can you just imagine Sanders one day on the campaign trail telling his crowd of supporters that his 2016 election was rigged against him and spelling it out to them? Shock waves across the nation would occur. And by the way, it wasn't Russia who hacked the DNC, that information was leaked by Seth Rich a DNC staffer. I urge you all to go to the Consortium News site and read up on the VIPS analysis of data released from the investigation. Are you getting any sense of what could happen here now? Memorandums of their findings were sent to Obama and Trump, main stream media knows of these findings, yet most voters and American's know nothing of it. And when Clinton tells you all 17 intelligence agencies came to the same findings she's lying. When actually it was a chosen few hand picked agents from the FBI, CIA,...

William_Mary replies on Jan 26, 2020:
@Surchin it's a proven fact that healthcare can be vastly cheaper on a socialized scale which can be worked at the end of the year when doing your taxes. In 2016 Sanders proposal was approximately $700 for a single middle class person. At the time that would have been approximately 2 months of what was drawn out of my pay at the time. Saving me 10 months of further payments for the rest of the year. That's approximately a $7000 dollar savings in a year that can go towards a hell of a lot of other things, mainly retirement. Why in the hell would anyone want to continue supporting over bloated CEO incomes, bonuses, failed red tape procedures, etc in continued support of a system where it seems like we are paying for better healthcare systems for people around the globe? Because basically that is what we are doing. The population of the US is basically being used to subsidize the rest of the globes universal healthcare. I personally want the same as they get. In some places they get free transportation to and from their appointments and hospital stays. Reimburse for bus fares if that is the case. Home visiting childcare (nannies) while they're away to their appointments. We're plainly being hoodwinked on healthcare in the US for manipulated profit needs. And it's well past time for our representatives to do something about it other than depending on their share of the scam being perpetrated on us.

@rogerbenham Warren of course would apply some executive orders as all do reversing Trump's towards a resemblance of Obama era. But the shift to the right is already in place. So I agree with your assessment. And as far as I'm concerned and stated here on many occasions, Sanders has already telegraphed what I see as the same. His actions and lack of actions in 2016 have already laid the path he is most likely going to follow. I will continuously argue that if Sanders would have taken Jill Steins offer of running under the Green Party ticket we'd have a president Sanders today, not Trump. He was leading in the polls within double digits of beating Trump. A large amount of registered democratic and independent voters that don't participate in voting today would have came out in droves to support him. I seen people of all ages and from both republican and independent parties changing party affiliation to vote for him in the primary. He fucking blew all that support! Then gave up the fight at the convention in which he promised to fight through. Then joined in with the false Russiagate narrative. And to this day never has mentioned or will mention how the DNC screwed him and his supporters! How the Primary went down from state to state. Not one time did he question what was going on in caucus states especially to show any sense of supporting us. He basically just allowed himself to be walked all over.

Who I ask had a platform that closely resembles hers is all one need to ask to understand the hypocrisy here. Below is a time Warren was a law professor at Harvard, on the Bill Moyer's show speaking about what Clinton did to her over bankruptcy legislature. Yet she works hand in hand now with the dog that bit her? I'll argue what you see in this video is a woman setting up her political career. That these types of dog and cat fights are merely a show of each other in bitter feuds are actually in compliance to provide entertainment. In time Warren and Sanders will carry on like nothing happened just as we see between Warren and Clinton. Because it means nothing to these people. The show must go on, towards the next show.

Warren went from collecting big money to keep her seat 2018, transfer the remaining to 2020, to now excepting their money through PACs for 2020. It's basically the best of both worlds. A game of deceit if I may. It sounds quite good to run as a president behind the mask of claiming you don't except big money these days while hoping the population is to ignorant to understand the what, where, and how of what a PAC is and does. And those who don't do the work support out of ignorance for various reasons. Approximately 3 months ago reports started coming out that Warren was initiating contact with Hillary Clinton. Or vise versa. Clinton was reported to be introducing her support system to Warren. Big money donors, campaign strategist, campaign dinners and meetings with corporations, etc. You get the picture. I think it's fair to place a conjecture to the recent Sanders events as being a Clinton campaign strategy Warren pulled. It helps to take all eyes from the money issue when you're attempting to draw the votes of some of those I speak of above who are voting merely on wanting the first woman president while using the sexist narrative.

It's sad to see your hatred of Hillary spilling over into this election cycle.
William_Mary replies on Jan 25, 2020:
Says the man that seemingly supports a woman clearly bent towards retribution stemming from hatred. Where you lose, is that the media has managed that perception of Clinton having an agenda towards retribution on Sanders, Trump, and Russia, blaming these entities for her loss. While my conjecture is that it's all a facade. As you seemingly are ignorant of her past and the results of it. Possibly a willing compliant to her and those results against humanity supporting the harm shes staunchly played a part in. I hate the game!

If you look hard enough and use the right words in a search you can find the outright disdain, or act of I would argue, of the family feud Michele Obama and Clinton had in the 2008 run. I've posted a video of Michele's comments before that would lead one to believe the relationship was no where near a cause of later making Clinton SOS. But how did that go? That alone gives at least a couple of suggestions as to why she was.

William_Mary replies on Jan 21, 2020:
Easily said while you're relatively safe in the US, while that is exactly what others face to force the US dollar use. And sanctions kill vastly more people in some regards. While the US has lost approximately 8000 people between the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, Venezuela alone has lost at least 40,000 people due to sanctions since only about 2014. Most of those since only 2017 at the height of application. You're basically admitting that the economic murder of millions over time is worth the murder of several thousand American troops when other countries resist. Just which families would you believe agree with that assessment? And if you don't believe these wars are over lies and a deceptive reality in which they are being killed in, you're must support them?

@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 ...

Right. When I make that statement it's in grave hopes people will step back and give my agenda here a hard thought realizing what dire times we are facing. People like you're talking about relates to another reply I just made a while ago. They refuse to see who they support committing the same unethical practices the other party commit. Often justifying it by degrees none the less.
