Misadventures of a minority-elect President 14

Trump’s pernicious diatribe against the media at the CPAC, Michael Moore warns that Trump will do everything he ‘promised’ to do – be it legally or illegally, back to the business of illegal never-ending war as usual, how our minority-elect President used Muslim and Mexican bashing to recruit supporters, blocking protests under the guise of Trump’s fallacious ‘law and order’ platform, the Donald is a one-man 9/11, our wannabe dictator still living in the land of delusion, bureaucratic revolt against Trump’s Muslim ban lies, Bernie Sander’s kick ass response to yet another ignorant Trump tweet, another ignorant, misleading Trump tweet from the twit that bitches about “fake news” that grossly misleads his delusional comparison of the national debt in his first month to Obama’s, Americans split on impeachment and other revealing polls, spiking Intel that contradicts his Muslim travel ban and more.

“President Donald Trump delivered a violent, ultra-right speech to the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) on Friday, attacking the media and reprising many of the “America First” themes outlined in his inauguration address one month ago.

The annual CPAC conference was a festival of political reaction. Trump boycotted the event during the election campaign last year, amidst sharp divisions within the Republican Party over his candidacy. But this year’s gathering of fascistic-minded activists and college Republicans greeted him with rapturous applause, repeatedly interrupting his speech with chants of “USA! USA!”

Among those addressing the meeting, held this year in National Harbor, Maryland, just south of Washington, DC, was Trump’s chief strategist Stephen Bannon, who spoke alongside White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus on Thursday.

In his remarks, Bannon said the administration would press forward aggressively with what he called the “deconstruction of the administrative state”—that is, the dismantling of social programs and government regulations—along with an expansion of police state measures and the implementation of a nationalist trade war economic policy…”

Clinton campaign: lessons in Russian Propaganda and Deception

Leave a reply

No Hillary, Russia did not hack your emails and you have nobody but yourself to blame for your loss.

When the Democratic National Committee (DNC) was hacked and emails were exposed by WikiLeaks that revealed, among other things, collusion within the Hillary Clinton campaign and the DNC to make a corrupt Washington establishment candidate the presidential nominee, the blame was dubiously placed on Russian hackers in an effort to hide the lack of integrity and malfeasance of a corrupt political system and to try and cover up her crimes and malfeasance during her contemptible political career.

Repeated bogus claims of Russian hacking by a disingenuous “security” firm with shadowy ties to Washington’s propaganda machine – including the Department of Homeland Security and the highly politicized office of the Director of National Intelligence, both of which constantly hype terrorism with no supporting evidence while perpetually fueling it – do not make bogus claims true and offer more insight into why you should question them. As more leaked evidence eviscerating Hillary and showing her true colors and disregard for ‘everyday Americans’ appears, the lies and desperation to keep her culture of corruption covered up will grow.

In typical fashion Washington’s Chief propaganda pushers – The New York Times and The Washington Post – repeated the bogus Russian hacking claims as gospel. Ironically, while pushing Washington’s lies without questions both publications periodically publish pertinent articles delving into the content of the emails and the damage they do to Clinton. It’s obvious that the release of damning revelations about Clinton were timed to try and interfere with the U.S. election process but it’s completely unclear of how the hacks could be attributed to the authorization of only Russia’s senior-most officials when no evidence supporting those claims is presented for review.

WikiLeaks Dump Confirms Clinton Colluded With DNC

Leave a reply

For those who may have missed it: Senator Bernie Sanders’ supporters suspicions that the Democratic National Committee (DNC) colluded with Hillary Clinton to make her — the corrupt establishment favorite — the official Democratic Presidential nominee were confirmed recently when WikiLeaks, the whistleblower site, published nearly 20,000 emails and documents attributed to a hack by Guccifer 2.0, though the Clinton campaign dubiously attributed it to Russia, that revealed their suspicions were correct.

WikiLeaks released 19,252 emails and 8,034 attachments covering the period from January last year until May 25 this year from seven key figures of the DNC: Communications Director Luis Miranda (10770 emails), National Finance Director Jordon Kaplan (3797 emails), Finance Chief of Staff Scott Comer (3095 emails), Finance Director of Data & Strategic Initiatives Daniel Parrish (1472 emails), Finance Director Allen Zachary (1611 emails), Senior Advisor Andrew Wright (938 emails) and Northern California Finance Director Robert (Erik) Stowe (751 emails).

Some of the emails show the DNC as using “us” language when referring to Clinton supporters while using “them” language when referring to Sanders supporters. All the leaked documents reveal that the DNC secretly worked behind the scenes to help ensure Clinton took the primary and not Sanders.

Even Debbie Wasserman Schultz, DNC chairwoman appointed by Hillary Clinton — who also used a private email for DNC business — was involved in the chicanery despite lying from the beginning. Wasserman Schultz wrote in one email that Sanders would never be president despite denying that any manipulations by the DNC were happening. In fact it appears that Clinton’s DNC chairwoman was involved in more than one email incident aimed at eviscerating Bernie Sanders.

A Sanders Supporter’s Presidential Primary Conundrum

Leave a reply

In the modern world where America’s corporate media proudly serves as the mouthpiece for our corrupted political governance without question – often void of fact – it’s no surprise having two presumptive Presidential nominees facing criminal charges and jail time, yet still in the running. Campaign 2016 is turning out to be quite a freak show and has shown us once again just how corrupt and lopsided our political system is. On the Republican side you have a candidate facing Fraud and RICO charges and on the Democratic side you have a woman who is being protected by people in high places despite blatantly obstructing Justice, breaking numerous Federal laws, committing heinous War crimes in Libya, Honduras, Ukraine and a few other countries, acting negligently in a federal investigation while destroying and withholding evidence to avoid accountability, yet unsurprisingly, currently not facing charges.

As a Bernie Sanders supporter I have many issues with putting Hillary Clinton in the White House since the last Clinton presidency helped create the cluster you-know-what that has become politics as usual for which the American people have already paid a heavy price and her malfeasance and lies over her email scandal disqualify her. Despite President Obama’s perfidious claim that Democratic Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton is “the right person for the job,” there are a multitude of reasons one could easily argue. Yes, it’s wonderful that Hillary Clinton made history — albeit arguably for all the wrong reasons — but letting that overshadow her dubious past in politics, her egregious human rights abuses in the Arab world, her instigation of more than one illegal regime change in various parts of the world, her current scandals from her secretive, morally corrupt tenure as Secretary of State and her servitude to Wall Street is unacceptable.

This year’s presidential primary has made the U.S. the laughing stock of the world. Forcing Americans to choose between a psychopath on the Republican ticket and a Neocon Sycophantic Wall Street hack who loves engaging in endless, profitable Wars — a racket which Hillary Clinton has enabled repeatedly — on the Democratic ticket won’t bode well for Americans or the rest of the world. Trump is facing fraud and RICO charges and Clinton’s email troubles will grow now that WikiLeaks has published enough evidence to indict Hillary Clinton. Both need to be held accountable for their actions but if Hillary isn’t indicted, it offers yet more proof of how corrupt our “Justice” system really is. When you get away with breaking laws because of who you are as opposed to what you’ve done, you no longer have the rule of law as was made clear by the FBI’s decision not to prosecute Clinton, which came as no surprise since FBI Director James Comey has been covering up crimes committed by the Clinton’s for decades. It’s remarkable how Washington is interested in punishing secrecy violations until it involves Hillary Clinton.

Like many in California, where the two-party political system lost more credibility and 2.3 million ballots remain uncounted, I voted for Bernie Sanders. I would never vote for #TrumptheFraud, but whether or not I vote for Hillary Clinton this November remains to be seen. #TrumptheFraud is the biggest gift the GOP has given us in quite a while, but when the co-founder of the Project For A New American Century (PNAC) – the Neoconservative group that wrote the blueprints for the 9/11 attacks, some of whose founders and members ended up playing major roles in the George W. Bush cabal’s illegal invasion of Iraq — fully endorses Hillary Clinton it speaks volumes about her warmongering ways and what her administration will entail.
