Donald Trump, Be Wary, Wary Afwaid

I wrote a previous article in which I mentioned a conversation I had with my sister about Donald Trump. She's a left wing liberal, non-democrat, that is so exasperated by the thought of a Trump presidency that she's considering something heretofore anathema to her, voting for Hillary Clinton as the lesser evil.

What? Hillary Clinton? Lesser Evil?

Well shoot, looks like my sister might be right.

"Appearing on The O’Reilly Factor, Trump spokesperson Katrina Pearson hammered at the other candidates while covering for her boss who, in a recent debate, was stumped when asked the country’s nuclear strike capability known as the "nuclear triad."

"What good does it do to have a good nuclear triad if you’re afraid to use it?" Pierson asked. "And that’s where we are today and we need to fix these problems. Not just complaining and name-calling about who started this and who started that."

Here's the video if you can take it.

 

 It's not just Trump, it's his people, his followers and supporters too. I've said the same thing about Clinton and Sanders supporters. This Pearson person is absolutely nuts and so are many, too many, of Trump's followers. These are the people who would support Trump as President, people that would have no qualms about barring entire religious groups from their country and would support using nuclear weapons on our ruling class "enemies".

Pearson btw is the same person who earlier said about Trump's proposal to ban all non-American Muslims from the country, "So what, they're Muslims?".

I've said the same things about Clinton and Sanders supporters, the vast majority of whom are democrats. Democrats in poll after poll, year after outrageous year, approve of Obama's job performance at the rate of 80%. A proven war criminal, warmonger, imperialist, corporatist, liar and deceiver like Obama maintains an 80% approval rating from Democrats for his actions. That would include the continuation of the Bush wars (War OF Terror, Afghanistan war, Iraq war), the illegal and inhumane bombing and destruction of Libya and the Obama led war against Syria. It would also include support and advocation for the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP), a travesty to all but the very rich.  

Clinton of course is an accomplice to Obama for the Libya and Syria wars making her a documented war criminal also.  Imagine that, a real life war criminal running for President of the United States.  And relative to Bernie's "revolution", it's primarily made up of people who support Obama and will vote for Clinton in the general election if she wins the Democratic primary.  What kind of revolution can it be with people who support wars and war crimes? 

But along comes Trump and his psychophants and supporters to up the ante to a higher level.

FUBAR man, it's all just FUBAR.  

Do Rich People Get to Keep Their Guns?

Why does the Pope need guns?   To protect himself? 

But the left wants to take guns away.  Do they want to take them away from the Pope too? 
How about taking them away from President Clinton?

Yep, something to think about.  If you like to think.

Yesterday's Gone

What's a human supposed to do when there are no options? We live in this country and everybody talks about the democracy and the freedom and the home of the brave. We're taught that we're the greatest, strongest, bestest country that's ever existed, the land of a thousand shining lights and we, and only we, are the way forward for the human race. American exceptionalism and Manifest Destiny.

But it's all bullshit. What's funny is we Americans have been subjected to a lifetime of fantastic illusion and propaganda and we've been convinced it's the other humans who are the dupes. We're shown filmsclips/videos of the brainwashed citizens in other countries to prove that WE are different. We watch them salute their dear leaders, chant their nationalistic slogans and watch their military parades and wonder how they can be so ignorant and compliant. While we pledge allegiance to a flag and sing songs about how free and brave we are because of bombs bursting in the fucking air a couple hundred years ago. No way, "merikans" wouldn't take no shit from a dictator.

I'm just done with it. I'm supposed to vote, that's my civic duty, it's my way to participate in this wonderful democracy we live in. People died for my right to vote. If I don't vote, I have no right to complain about the actions our political representatives take. That's all bullshit too. People died for our right to vote because they mistakenly believed voting made a fucking difference. It doesn't, never did. The political system of this country is an oligarchy which is defined as a small group of people that make decisions for everyone else. Someone tell me what 535 politicians that make decisions for over 300 million people is if not an oligarchy. Then to top it off, the oligarchy is completely beholden to those with the most money and wealth, i.e., the plutocracy. So that's what our form of government really is, as set up by the founding father dudes, it's an oligarchy controlled by a plutocracy.

I'm not done with voting. When I'm "allowed" to vote for issues/actions directly such as initiatives or referendums for gay marriage or legalizing marijuana, I'll certainly do that. When I'm "allowed" to vote to raise or lower my property taxes or to raise the sales tax to fund new schools, I'll do that. But I'm done with voting for political representatives UNDER THIS SYSTEM.

I've read many writers in the last years state that we need major systemic change in our society to solve our problems. That has to start with the political system. There's nothing sacred about it and the U.S. Constitution is not some devine document from God that should remain the same forever and ever Amen. Some of the more astute "founding fathers" acknowledged that such a change would probably be necessary.

When I saw Clinton vs. Bush (or as it is now, Trump) coming I thought it would be a perfect time to make the move. Tell them to shove it, we aren't taking it anymore and we demand change. I figured there was enough people in this country fed up with these greater evil/lesser evil choices pushed down our throats that we could finally form into enough of a force to challenge the plutocracy. I still think it's possible, particularly after the kabuki with Bernie Sanders and the Democratic party is resolved and it's clear Clinton will be the nominee.

But it's not shaping up that way yet. The fly in the ointment could be when Sanders is defeated in the Democratic primary and it becomes moment of truth time for the left wing of the democratic party. Will they fall in line as instructed by Sheepdog Bernie to support Clinton because Trump and the republicans are batshit crazy? Or will they follow through with their "Bern or Bust" threat to not support the Democratic nominee unless it's Sanders?

It appears most will fall in line. Most are Democrats after all and Democrats, to the astounding tune of 80%, approve of Obama's job performance. The same warmonger Obama who has waged wars in seven countries, become Assassinator in Chief, and a literal treasonous traitor to the country for his role with the Trans Pacific Partnership. Since most of Sanders supporters are of this stripe, what else can we expect when the rubber meets the road other than a sudden turn right to the clutches of Evil Queen Hillary, the Wicked Witch of the West.

There has been speculation that ultimately Trump is in the race for Hillary Clinton, or the Clinton's to be exact. Bill was even questioned about it by Bill Maher on his show, asking Bill if

Funny thing about that. I was talking to my older sister the other day and when the discussion turned to Trump she also became beside herself. My sister is a full blooded liberal, not a Democrat, and is just as disgusted with our state of affairs as I am, almost. She said she hates the idea of the lesser evil thing, but she might do anything to keep Trump from office, the anything in this case being voting for Clinton. The way it's working out with the Trump factor on the right and the Evil Queen of the West on the left, the lesser evil approach to demockery is slowly becoming the only forseeable option for the 50% of the voting public that still participates in this fraud.

I told my sister to not do it, don't vote for Hillary Clinton under any circumstances, even if Trump is revealed to be the Antichrist.

History tells us that what we're seeing with Donald Trump is simply another example of the ruling class full on ascent to psychopathic madness, joining neverending war, blatant legalization of torture and assassination, a fascist police state, and trillion dollar bailouts to the banksters and an unabashed quest for world supremacy. He acts like an outlier but it's all in keeping with the same trajectory pattern. Presidential elections are controlled, that's a proven fact, and there's no reason to believe this one is different.

The world is as close to a nuclear World War III than at any time since the more serious segments of the original Cold War. Debt and man-made financial instruments of mass destruction are enveloping the planet along with massive poverty and an existential crisis of climate change human greed is preventing from being addressed. We KNOW it won't get better with either Trump or Clinton or any President. The trajectory is going the wrong way and it's accelerating.

Can we afford eight more years of this shit? Can we really settle for a lesser evil that is anything but while the world is falling apart before our own eyes? As my Uncle Dan used to say, "I've got any uneasy feeling about this shit".

 

Alms for the Poor, or Take this Inequality and Shove It

Recent reports have shown that nearly half the country is at or near the poverty level. Over half of Americans make less than $30,000 per year. The federal minimum wage is $7.25 per hour! My stepdad, and this is true, made $7.50 per hour in 1970 as a brickmason.

Other reports have shown how much wealth is flowing to the top of the oligarchy. It's become obscene from all angles and the serfs display incredible cognitive dissonance about it by complaining about it while also supporting the systems, organizations and instititions that perpetuate the inequality.

I lived in West Germany for five years and visited a number of famous castles including the one Disneyland is modeled after, Neuschwanstein, and was amazed at the size and extravagance of King Ludwig's digs.

Today I saw a link for the top 15 houses of famous athletes. The one "owned" by Tom Brady, the quarterback for the New England Patriots, looked like a castle. That's what it is, a fucking castle. Then there's the hedge fund managers and the Wall Street bankers and corporate CEO's castles. Throughout history, the Kings and Queens and Dictators had the castles. Now it's an expected part of the top one percent. Thou shalt have castles.

We stayed at seven bucks and hour while they went from mansions to castles.

But the Serfs get to look, they can click on a link like I did and see for themselves. Take a little tour of the high life, then go back to their minimum wage job and minimum wage lives.

How can it be stopped? Can it even be slowed down? I saw an article recently that posed the question, "have we reached peak inequality"?

Hell no it hasn't peaked. I don't care about data and statistics when it comes to this. It can't stop, there's nothing to stop it. The people can't seem to stop it. The people don't seem to really care. Most people seem to accept class divisions as a normal way of life, just the way it is and always has been. Maybe that's it. Maybe it was meant to be.

Until it all comes crashing down.

FYI

FYI to anyone who might care, I'm posting over at CafeBabylon, as invited, until such time as I'm not.  Until then, I'll probably post here only when I have something to say I can't say elsewhere.  Maybe I'll start cross-posting, I don't know.  Still trying to gear up for the Great Election Boycott of 2016.  I'm gathering reasons from people why they vote.  So far, the best I've got is because "people died for our right".   That's kind of like people died for our freedom.  Well, that was then, this is now.

Hey, 9/11 was a false flag inside/outside job.  Everything should be about 9/11 but it isn't.  Isn't it weird that there's no talk about investigating 9/11 more thoroughly, even with the missing 28 pages? 

If 9/11 was a false flag, doesn't that change EVERYTHING?  Shouldn't people want to know?

Hell, we still believe the lies about the Constitution, I suppose the 9/11 lies have at least that long of a shelf life. 

"They're Not Going to Stop"

"They're not going to stop."

I've personally been saying that for years in my discussions on the internet regarding U.S. led wars. I've said that to try to emphasize the urgent need for American and global citizens to stand up and end the madness once and for all. The state of the human race on planet earth is reaching pure madness and it's being caused by a very small group of people intent on ruling the earth.

Sound insane? It is. It is insane but that's what's happening. Boil it all down and what we have is a small number of supremely rich and powerful people on the planet who want to create what they call a "New World Order", or a one world government controlled by them. It's simple, something right out of the comic books or a movie thriller. It shouldn't be so difficult for people to understand.

But it is unfortunately. The same small group of people control the information war. They control 90% of the media including the internet and their false narratives, propaganda and outright lies are incessantly pounded into American brains while the illusions of land of the free and home of the brave are penetrated so deeply into their psyche's they're left in a permanent state of cognitive dissonance.

"They're not going to stop".

A writer I follow, Tony Cartalucci of Land Destroyer Report, is one of the independent "alternative media" writers who have been key in delivering the real truth about what's happening in the middle east and north Africa (MENA) and why. He understands the big picture explained above.

In the linked article below he talks about Turkey's downing of the Russian Su-24 bomber inside Syrian airspace and notes:

"In the days and weeks before the incident, US Senators openly called for the shooting down of Russian planes over Syria. Their goal has been clear since 2011, overthrow the government of Syria before moving on to Iran, then finally Russia and China."
http://landdestroyer.blogspot.com/2015/12/americas-creeping-war-in-syria.html

It's that simple. The deciders have decided long ago they want to rule the world. That means taking down, TAKING DOWN, Iran, Russia and China. 

They're not going to stop with Syria. They're not going to stop until they're done or defeated somehow. What do you think all this is for, all the wars and militaries and weapons of mass destruction? What else could be the final human condition except to rule the world. That's what it's always been about.

Here's another experienced alternative writer truth teller, Mike Whitney,

"Ultimately, the war on terror is a public relations fig leaf designed to conceal Washington’s attempt to rule the world. It’s impossible to make sense of goings-on around the globe without some grasp of how seemingly random acts of violence and terror fit within the broader and more comprehensive geopolitical strategy to create a new unipolar world order, to crush all emerging rivals, and to extend US full-spectrum-dominance across the planet."

http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article43665.htm

Now that the endgame is upon us, here in the 21st century, we 21st century humans have a special burden unlike any of our ancestors. It's real now and we're of the last ones who can stop it before the deciders either complete their agenda or kill the planet and everything on it.

If only the American people could understand, if only they could be made to understand, the real enemy isn't ISIS, it's not about radical Islam or terrorists or "evil forces" out to get us, it's about those that rule over us, that's the enemy, that's the problem. The root of the problem, the source. They're criminals, evil criminal sociopaths and yes, some genuine psychopaths, that will not bat an eyelid at "sacrificing" millions in their "crusade". 

They will not stop.

It doesn't matter whether it's Bernie or Hillary or even Donald Trump. Those at the very top are in charge, in control and proceeding as planned.

If we don't stop them, nothing else matters. It's that simple. And we don't have time to mess around with our fake elections of fake representatives in our fake democracy. We don't have a democracy. So it goes hand in hand. If we want democracy, if we want this planet and the humans on it to survive, we need to stop the criminals at the top. There is no other way out.

Because they will not stop.
  

Trump/Obama vs.GOP/Dem Primary Voters

I noticed a comment by a partisan democrat ridiculing republicans because of the results of a recent poll regarding Donald Trump's recent statement about Muslims (that they should be temporarily banned). 

The Democrat ridiculed the result where 65% of Republican primary voters favored Trump's call for a temporary ban on all non-American Muslims from entering the United States.   He/she failed to mention the poll also indicated 18% of Democrats favored Trump's call as well. 

And what the Democrats always fail to mention is the fact that 80% of Democrats polled APPROVE OF OBAMA'S JOB PERFORMANCE!.  

So what is worse - racist republicans that support Donald Trump?

Or racist democrats that APPROVE OF THE ACTIONS OF a war criminal who has waged wars in seven Muslim countries resulting in hundreds of thousands of deaths and millions of displaced Muslims? 

I guess it depends on who you ask.  Seems to me the REAL deaths and displacements win out over the racist words of the racist.

Either way, there's a lot of sick, ignorant people in this country. 

Terrorist Jaywalking in Vancouver!

Breaking News.

I don't have much to add but just heard breaking news right here in my hometown.  A dark haired person was caught downtown today jaywalking and has been arrested and charged with "terrorist jaywalking". 

This comes directly on the heels of an arrest yesterday in a Oregon town of a man passing a bad check at Walmart.  He has been charged with terrorist bad check passing and has been shipped to the terrorist prison at Guantanamo.  Remember,  we're at WAR, so the fascists can do anything they want.

We the Serfs should rest peacefully tonight knowing our fascist police state is right on top of the terror problem on this Planet. 

Daily Kos Democrats support Obama's Killing Wars, Want 2nd Amendment Abolished

Fucking hypocrites.  These are people who approve of Obama's job performance (thus his killing wars) and will vote for Hillary "the Warmonger from Hell" Clinton. 

These are also the people who are leading Bernie Sanders' "political revolution".  You can see what kind of revolution that would be, if Bernie was in it to win it which he isn't.  The partisan democrats are just as dangerous, if not moreso than the partisan republicans.  Both groups are the opposition in the Ruling Class war because they come down on the side of the Ruling Class, wittingly or unwittingly.

Where the Hell are We Headed?

I saw this article at World Socialist Website, "The police crackdown in Paris and the drift towards dictatorship in France."

"Yesterday, barely two weeks since the November 13 terror attacks killed 130 and led to the closure of large sections of Paris around République Square, violence again erupted in the streets of the city. With 120,000 soldiers and police forces deployed across France, and fully 6,300 police and paramilitary riot police mobilized in downtown Paris alone, République Square was again blocked off by a massive police cordon.

The target of this deployment, held under the state of emergency imposed after the November 13 attacks by the Socialist Party (PS) government of President François Hollande, was not, however, a group of fighters loyal to the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS). Rather, it was a domestic social protest mounted by ecological groups against the COP-21 ecological summit opening today in Paris.

The state of emergency bans all forms of public protest for three months, and police seized upon this standing ban to stage a brutal crackdown on a crowd of several thousand people. République Square, which had seen vigils for the victims of the November 13 attacks and official appeals for national unity, was filled with tear gas as police shot rubber bullets at peaceful protesters."

http://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2015/11/30/pers-n30.html

Like I said in the title, where the hell is all this going?  I mean, look at that description.  6,300 riot police in downtown Paris! 120,000 soldiers.  I look at that and it's simply hard to believe, it's like science fiction come to life. This is actually happening in France in 2015? 

They're squashing all dissent, closing alternative blogs and websites, going fucking crazy.  And the craziest thing is the Serfs, We the Ignorant Serfs, are supplying the tax dollars and offspring necessary for this Apocalyptic extravaganza to corral all the serfs on Earth into cozy little boxes so they can be no threat to the Evil People, only to themselves.  Let the Serfs kill each other.

That's what it is now.  A fight of good versus evil.   The Evil People running this country have killed 20-30 million people since WWII in their Crusade for their New World Order. They don't care how many die in their quest for Supreme Beingness for they are the chosen ones, all else are nothing but chattel to be disposed of. "We think it's worth it" in the immoral words of the evil queen, Madeleine Albright, Bill Clinton's henchwoman back before the New American Century.

The so called far left can't even get behind an election boycott we've been so conditioned.  It's like they're innately driven to obey the "principles of living as a human" started some thousands of years ago in a cave.  They must vote because people died for the right.  It's sacred. 

What's so fucking sacred about voting in a system that is a fraud?  An illusion of democracy that's been scientifically proven to be a fraud. 

They say we need to start at the bottom, elect the "right" people to the city councils and state legislations.  Get behind Bernie's "Revolution" and provide him with enough of the "right" democrats to gain a majority in the House of Ill Repute. 

Not only will that not work, especially within the ruling class Democratic party, but even if it could it will take too long!

Just look at where we are now and where we're heading.  I have kids and grandkids, the grandkids who were born in this century.  They should live throughout this entire century, I hope. 

But what the hell are they going to be facing in the year 2050?  2060?  Look at what they're facing now.

We have to stop the Evil People NOW!
