What the thunder said

The entire establishment is scared shitless of Trump. His bid for the presidency is nothing less than a revolution in American politics -- a challenge to their "ownership" of the country --

-- and they are going all out to prevent his election. This will no doubt have some limited success  Without question, it is the conventional, proven technique for manipulating public opinion. But the world is changing. The internet as an alternative source of info has broken the MSM monopoloy on "narrative" construction, so there is mounting cognitive dissonance created by the conflicting narratives. And that dissonance actually **forces** people to think, forces people to **learn to think**.
It has often been said, in frustration and disgust, that the American people are stupid. I understand the situation, but I just don't think it's as bad as one might think. People who are intentionally manipulated, misled, maleducated, and propagandized, may speak about the world, and do things at the voting booth, that seem "stupid" to you, particularly if your political views are not theirs. But when people have no real choice, any vote they cast will look stupid. So what's really going on -- in my view -- is not stupidity, but helplessness.
Not stupidity. And the Trump movement phenomenon demonstrates this. Millions of regular people from across the political spectrum have thrown in with Trump. They are smart enough to know that they have been getting screwed "by a system that threw them overboard thirty years ago", and now, long-frustrated, their instinctive intelligence sees and seizes the opportunity to actually vote in their own interest,... for the first time in my lifetime (67 years). For Trump the blue-collar billionaire. Despite all his wealth, Trump is one of them: a blunt-to-the-point-of-rudeness, NY working-class, horn-doggie alpha-male. A guy who hangs out with the elite-and-snobby, caters for a premium price to the elite-and-snobby, hits on the wives of the elite-and-snobby, but is still at heart a working-class bad boy in the mold of Tony Manero. Oh, how the elite-and-snobby hate him. Their hatred, and their snob-based cluelessness is what signals regular folks to stream to support him at his rallies -- the enemy of their enemy is their friend -- and what makes me think the American people are smarter than the elite-and-snobby think they are, and are secretly, quietly supporting Trump. Secretly and quietly so that they do not have to be annoyed by the flailing and spittle-flecked hysteria of politically correct sissies.
So for the next 26 days we will have more of the magnificent spectacle. But after the polls and pundits,...
After the torchlight red on sweaty faces
After the frosty silence in the gardens
After the agony in stony places
The shouting and the crying
Prison and palace and reverberation
Of thunder of spring over distant mountains
...
We will have the reality of Nov 8th.
Then we shall see.
Good luck.

"Terrorism" and other manipulations

From The Next Big Future, which I believe is Brian Wang's website/blog (I'm new at this stuff) , I find a piece entitled Terrorism is a subset of Murder http://nextbigfuture.com/2011/03/terrorism-is-subset-of-murder.html (asserting, if I get it right, that Terrorism is illegitimate by virtue of being criminal). One commenter, Gigi, responded: As I have already tried to say before, I consider any use of the word “terrorism” more or less pointless. In fact, reading much of the western media about “terrorism” there is almost nowhere any clear definition of the word “terrorism”, for the simple reason that for any kind of such definition many of the military actions taken by the West against unarmed civilians in, say, Iraq or Vietnam may well fall in this definition. Is this an action of terrorism? http://boingboing.net/2010/04/... Simply put it, if Hamas kills one Israeli civilian it is terrorism, if the US or Israel directly kill 10 or more Palestinian it is ...

AW.C moderation back-up 5/16/2018

The Zionists, through their American fifth column, have bought and repurposed the US govt since 1948 (if not before). Congress is owned/subverted by AIPAC, with money from the hoodwinked US J*wish community, to serve Israeli interests ahead of American interests. And they own the State Dept -- and with it US foreign policy -- through more numerous and more abundantly-funded policy shops in DC. This "ownership" has been in effect through US administrations at least back to Truman, but you, addicted to Trump-hate, insist on making it about Trump. It is the opposition to Trump, the opposition by folks like you, in your refusal to help rebuild America, in your petulance and emotional self-indulgence, that drove Trump into the arms of the worst of America's domestic enemies. Trump's failure to drain the swamp falls squarely at the feet of those like you, who refused to support the President in his efforts to fix America. Have a peacef...

The movement to free Julian Assange

In response to a similar comment by  ISHKABIBBLE   /   FEBRUARY 18, 2019 on Caitlin Johnstone's Website: https://caitlinjohnstone.com/2019/02/18/watch-my-speech-on-assanges-persecution-for-whistle-blowing-wikileaks-the-future-of-democracy/#comment-9130 I am comprehensively in agreement with you. For the last two or three years, I have entertained the same idea. So let me now expand on your — and my — suggestion. First of all, this undertaking should be done completely out in the open. There should be no secrecy involved. It should be a mass, overt, worldwide effort, with invitations to assemble in London for the event sent out to all those who support Assange. There should be no question whatsoever that it is an in-your-face repudiation and challenge to the British “Establishment”/Deep State. The action would be nothing less than a “Declaration of Independence” issued by the people of the world against the craven and unlawful imprisonment of by the UK...
