Before we say ANYTHING, keep in mind that we’re not endorsing ANY candidate of this election. We are aware that there are diverse perceptions regarding politics and almost everything you read on touchy subjects. We do however condone talking about things society considers “controversial” and tell you NOT to talk about. Well we do here because you’re intelligent enough to hear the other side of the argument, agree to disagree, yet respect each others opinions and points of views. This is nothing to do with being “American”, this is EVERYTHING to do with being human on this planet with ideas, thoughts, and beliefs that you take to heart while allowing others to do the same.

So we wanted to play with this a little bit and give us your thoughts after;

Among the small number of American newspapers that have embraced Donald Trump’s campaign, there is one, in particular, that stands out.

It is called the Crusader — and it is one of the most prominent newspapers of the Ku Klux Klan.

Under the banner “Make America Great Again,” the entire front page of the paper’s current issue is devoted to a lengthy defense of Trump’s message — an embrace some have labeled a de facto endorsement.

“‘Make America Great Again!’ It is a slogan that has been repeatedly used by Donald Trump in his campaign for the presidency,” Pastor Thomas Robb wrote in the Crusader. “You can see it on the shirts, buttons, posters and ball caps such as the one being worn here by Trump speaking at a recent rally. … But can it happen? Can America really be great again? This is what we will soon find out!”

“While Trump wants to make America great again, we have to ask ourselves, ‘What made America great in the first place?'” the article continues. “The short answer to that is simple. America was great not because of what our forefathers did — but because of who our forefathers were.

“America was founded as a White Christian Republic. And as a White Christian Republic it became great.”

The Trump campaign sharply and swiftly criticized the article. “Mr. Trump and the campaign denounces hate in any form,” the campaign said in a statement Tuesday evening. “This publication is repulsive and their views do not represent the tens of millions of Americans who are uniting behind our campaign.”

What we’re wondering is what’s so hateful about the word “white”, let along “white Christian Republic”?

We can see white in many ways; white snow, white crayons, white sand, white sugar, white flour, white doves, white teeth, white paper, white—out. And if people are referring to “white people”, the last time we saw them they were all dead; blood and fluids drained out. So white people from every ethnicity (including black, Asian, Natives, etc) can’t technically be offended by anything because they’re in the morgue if not already buried or cremated.

Now if you consider “Christian” being hateful, it depends on how you see it. Hell sounds like a very “hateful” place you’re doomed to go if you’re not “Christian” and be punished by God. And almost every war in the world started based on different religious beliefs including Christianity (sometimes called “Crusaders for Christ). According to historical data, you either converted to this religion, confessed you believed in it, or was tortured and/or killed (just ask Joan of Arc and the Salem Witches in the 1690s).

“Republic” sounds like some form of religion in politics. It has differen meanings according to those who claim they live in one; (DPRK Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, Islamic Republic of Iran, USSR, The People’s Republic of China, The United States of America), I can go on and on. Are these countries “hateful”?

Reached by phone, Robb told The Washington Post that while the Crusader wasn’t officially endorsing Trump, his article signaled the publication’s enthusiastic support for the Republican billionaire’s candidacy.

“Overall, we do like his nationalist views and his words about shutting down the border to illegal aliens,” Robb said. “It’s not an endorsement because, like anybody, there’s things you disagree with. But he kind of reflects what’s happening throughout the world. There seems to be a surge of nationalism worldwide as nationals reclaim their borders.”

The 12-page quarterly newspaper calls itself “The Political Voice of White Christian America!” and has a well-known white supremacist symbol on its front page. The latest edition includes articles about Jewish links to terrorism, black-on-white crime and a man who claims to be Bill Clinton’s illegitimate child. An article near the end of the paper says that Trump’s candidacy is “moving the dialogue forward.”

The publication’s website says that its “number one goal” is to “stop white genocide.”

That word “genocide” is very powerful to most people. We see genocide as killing a particular “gene”. Academia and cultures have taught people to see genes according to the pigmentation of skin instead of seeing it as a human code. So when a mass murder is happening, or has happened regardless of ethnicity or culture, we consider killing massive amount of humans as genocide. Referring to our version of “white”, we all can die right now, but there will still remain white snow, white crayons, white sand, white sugar, white flour, white doves, white teeth, white paper, and white—out.

Since the earliest days of his presidential bid, Trump has attracted the support of prominent white nationalists across the country, setting off fears that a dormant fringe faction of the GOP base — one steeped in xenophobic and white supremacist rhetoric — would be folded back into mainstream politics.

In the early months, white nationalists said they were reluctant to publicly throw their support behind the controversial billionaire for fear of harming his strengthening campaign. But white nationalists said as Trump became more emboldened, they did too.

In January, Jared Taylor — editor of the white nationalist magazine American Renaissance — lent his voice to a robo-call recording urging registered voters in Iowa to back Trump. Those potential voters, Taylor told The Post, are part of a silent majority who are tired of being asked to celebrate diversity but are afraid of being labeled bigots.

A month later, Trump was embraced by former KKK grand wizard David Duke, which led to a controversial exchange between CNN’s Jake Tapper and the Republican candidate. Asked by Tapper to “unequivocally condemn” Duke, Trump pleaded ignorance.

“Just so you understand, I don’t know anything about David Duke, okay?” Trump said.

Tapper pressed him several more times to disavow Duke and the KKK, but Trump again declined.

“I don’t know anything about what you’re even talking about with white supremacy or white supremacists,” Trump said. “So I don’t know. I don’t know — did he endorse me, or what’s going on? Because I know nothing about David Duke; I know nothing about white supremacists.”

He just said he know nothing about this dude, nor this practice.

So this part is extremely important because it goes to perception. If I know nothing about a person, place, thing, or organization personally, I’m not going to have an opinion about them, nor agree or disagree with what they say because I never asked them to elaborate. Trump is saying he knows nothing about them or “white supremacy”, so of course he can’t disavow them or anybody he know nothing about. I’m the same way; I’d be considered a black man to “society”, but because I never met the KKK in person, I have no opinions about them either, nor can I condemn anything they say based on what someone else say about them. This goes for Hitler, Nazism, socialism, communism, Mao, Stalin, or anyone I’ve never met, sat down with, and talked to in person.

That same month, Rachel Pendergraft — the national organizer for the Knights Party, a standard-bearer for the Ku Klux Klan — told The Post that Trump’s campaign offered the organization a new outreach tool for recruiting new members and expanding their formerly dwindling ranks.

The Republican presidential candidate, Pendergraft said at the time, provided separatists with an easy way to start a conversation about issues that are important to the dying white supremacist movement.

“One of the things that our organization really stresses with our membership is we want them to educate themselves on issues, but we also want them to be able to learn how to open up a conversation with other people,” Pendergraft said.

Using Trump as a conversation piece has been discussed on a private, members-only website and in “e-news, stuff that goes out to members.”

In addition to opening “a door to conversation,” she said, Trump’s surging candidacy has electrified some members of the movement.

“They like the overall momentum of his rallies and his campaign,” Pendergraft said. “They like that he’s not willing to back down. He says what he believes and he stands on that.”

In August, the American Nazi Party’s chairman, Rocky Suhayda, agreed, declaring on his radio show that Trump offers “real opportunity” to build the white nationalist movement.

More recently, Trump’s rallies have been marred by a series of racially charged incidents.

Last week, a black Trump supporter was booted from a North Carolina rally after he was mistaken for being a protester. Trump’s security detail escorted a man out of the rally as the audience cheered.

“You can get him out,” Trump said, making a sideways motion with his thumb. “Get him out.”

The person in question turned out to be C.J. Cary, a North Carolina resident, who claims to be a longtime Trump supporter.

Cary, in a phone interview, said Saturday that he had gone to the rally because he wanted to hand-deliver a note to the Republican presidential nominee. He made his way to about 20 to 30 feet from the stage and shouted “Donald!” while waving his note around to try to catch his attention.

“Everyone else is waving Trump signs and I’m waving this white letter,” Cary, 63, said. He said that, coupled with the fact that he was wearing sunglasses during an evening rally to deal with his sensitivity to light, may have been what set people off.

Cary said a security official noticed he appeared to be a supporter but said he should not have disrupted the rally.

“He asked me, ‘What happened? You have on a GOP badge,’ ” Cary said. “I said, ‘I’m yelling at Donald, and he thinks I’m a protester.’ ”

This reminds me of something. Maybe the Crips and Bloods learned something here;

You reppin yo flag nigga?

Political correct translation;

You’re wearing your GOP badge? But sorry you got shot at because you look like a Beaner trying to be a Yakuza.

Days later, Donald Trump’s campaign manager, Kellyanne Conway, forcefully disavowed a supporter as “deplorable” for chanting “Jew-S-A!” at a weekend rally, the latest incident of anti-Semitic rhetoric used by some of the GOP nominee’s backers, according to Post reporters Jose A. DelReal and Sean Sullivan.

Can someone tell me what’s the difference between being “anti-Semitic” and just being “racist”? I’m really confused about these two, and I know there are billions of different opinions and definitions regarding the two. Or is it?

“[The man’s] conduct is completely unacceptable and does not reflect our campaign or our candidate. Wow,” Conway said during an interview on CNN’s “State of the Union.” “That man’s conduct was deplorable. And had I been there, I would have asked security to remove him immediately.”

The Saturday afternoon incident in Phoenix was captured on video that showed a man confronting reporters at the rally with shouts and a three-fingered hand gesture that resembled hate symbols flagged by the Anti-Defamation League.

“You’re going down! You’re the enemy!” the man yelled. As the rest of the crowd broke into a chant of “USA! USA!,” the man repeatedly chanted, “Jew-S-A! Jew-S-A!”

Could there be a reason why he said that?

According to some conspiracy theorists (and I don’t say that in a negative manner), most Fortune 500 and major multinational corporations including banks are controlled by what they call the “Zionist Jews” cabal, which is allegedly separate from real Jews (who so happened to be against Israel’s illegal occupation of Palestine and the human rights violation of Palestinians).

So according to many researches, America’s government is controlled by the influence of these Zionist Jewish corporations. This answers the question of why mainstream media and religion is a staunch supporter of the State of Israel, why they condemn any hint of “anti-Semitics” and even violate freedom of speech and expression here to suppress any criticism of the Jewish state, and its treatment of the Palestinians — because the media is owned by these same corporations?

That’s like Fox News criticizing Rupert Murdock of News Corp. and CBS making a news special on the corruption of Sumner Redstone’s family.

There’s even concerns of the whole Holocaust stories being a hoax to cover up the real reason behind Nazi Germany, Hitler’s true intentions to protect Germany, its people (including Jews there) against this Zionist cabal and their Allies in Britain and the United States, and what the word Holocaust REALLY mean. This coverup was believed to maintain the status quo in America to complete an agenda of corporate control over the masses. Which also makes sense because (according to Sigmund Freud) the masses don’t think for themselves, and buy everything under the sun to fill a void. If this is true, then the alleged Zionist Jews agenda will happen. No one force the masses to buy their products.

After doing research, this has showed us how misunderstandings of cultures, and a society who only speak American English can defend Israel and the Zionist Jews on knee jerk reaction based on a story they’ve heard instead of understand Latin, Greek, German, and seeing for themselves why this gentleman would chant “Jew-S-A”.

Could it be that the Zionist Jews own the U.S.A.?

If this is true, and you have a problem with this allegation — wouldn’t it be best to start your own business and/or start buying local? Just a thought.

Conway agreed when CNN’s Jake Tapper asked whether the man’s behavior was “deplorable” — a reference to controversial comments made last month by Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, who was criticized for casting “half of Trump’s supporters” as a “basket of deplorables.” Clinton later expressed regret for suggesting that half of his supporters were racist or xenophobic.

As DelReal and Sullivan reported, the “Jew-S-A” incident revived long-standing anxieties about xenophobic and white supremacist rhetoric used by a fringe faction within the GOP nominee’s base.

Like this wasn’t a concern 8 years ago with the whole Barack Osama presidential gig? (I wrote that on purpose for a reason).

I saw and witnessed fringe groups of some blacks forming military style tactics to intimidate others into voting for this man. I even saw a side of my family that gave me an outer body experience. So could it be their turn?

Then I started studying the psy-op technique of controlled oppositions. I saw how profitable it is to deploy this program. That’s when everything came together and I saw the game.

Anti-Semitic slogans and language, they wrote, have become common among self-identified members of the “alt-right,” a fringe conservative movement that fashions itself as a populist and anti-establishment alternative to the mainstream Republican Party. Many within the alt-right have enthusiastically embraced Trump’s campaign message, which has included calls for mass deportations of undocumented Latino immigrants and for barring foreign Muslims from entering the United States.

Many of Trump’s critics have accused him and his campaign of stoking racial grievances as a political tool. Those accusations have intensified since Stephen K. Bannon stepped away from running Breitbart News — which he has called a “platform for the alt-right” — to become the Trump campaign’s chief executive.

“I wouldn’t want to tar and feather every Trump supporter with the anti-Semitic comments of one person, but it is the case that the Trump campaign has been embraced by the radical right in an unprecedented way this season,” said Richard Cohen, president of the Southern Poverty Law Center.

Trump came under fire over the summer for retweeting an image of rival Hillary Clinton alongside $100 bills and a Jewish star bearing the words “most corrupt candidate ever!” Trump later claimed that it was a sheriff’s star.

Trump’s son, Donald Jr., also drew attention for doing an interview with a white-nationalist radio host this year; he later told Bloomberg News that he did not realize the interviewer was going to be looped into the conversation. He was also blasted for posting an image on social media he said he got from a friend that included Pepe the Frog, a figure that has been appropriated by white supremacists. He told ABC News that he did not know about the association.

VIDEO: Valedictorian Reveals Illegal Immigration Status
I stay away from this immigration debate, however out of curiosity…
Some of the tweets claim their “tax dollars” (remember to ask for a balance sheet for proof) paying for this criminal to go to college, who achieved a valedictorian status, preparing to go to college (Yale), so that she can contribute to America’s health to become a neurosurgeon.
BUT—they don’t mind having their “tax dollars” pay for the incarceration of Bernie Madoff and the Boston Marathon’s “alleged” bomber. Not mentioning rapists, murderers, you know the whole shabang?
So let me get the word “criminal” clear:
The government creates criminals when they pass a law to outlaw certain actions or products. So if alcohol was illegal during prohibition and you consumed alcohol, you was a criminal. And if you smoked weed, you were a criminal.
So let me get most of Americans clear here…..
They’d rather pay taxes to lock Bernie Madoff and Boston “alleged” bomber up in federal prison in the name of “JUSTICE”…….
But refuse to pay, and be angry towards this young lady choosing to pursue a career in medicine and contribute—-I can’t even finish this….
So there’s your Prison Industrial Complex. THERE’S your future….
PAY FOR A SWINDLER FOR THREE MEALS A DAY
while….
VERBALLY PUNISHING THIS “CRIMINAL” FOR BEING THE TOP OF HER CLASS AND GOING TO COLLEGE.
Really America? Really?
TURN THAT FUCKING TV OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And for those tweets that called her a criminal, I’m curious if they saw and heard the entire speech first*

*I do want to make note that I wasn’t there, so this is allegations that I believe half what I hear and see. But let’s say it’s real. Congratulations.

Yes, we are ALL humans. That does NOT dismiss my questioning everything, which leads to this…

The other half I’m questioning is if she was planted by the government to insight heated debates (which cause division among the country), and invoke emotions towards immigration, rather in a positive or negative light. Is she a distraction?

I question EVERYTHING, and don’t leave NO stone un-turned.

Regardless of the “hidden” agendas, we would never know. However, what we CAN know is having unconditional love for ourself AND all humanity so that this profitable “immigration debate” no longer matters anymore.

OH, one last thing:
Did the alleged “founding fathers” (which were undocumented immigrants from Europe) ask for citizenship from the Native Americans? Wondering.
 
I guess you should’ve built that wall after all Pocahontas…

Judge Judy DESTROYS an Obama-Supporting Welfare Cheat: I’m Sending This Tape to Congress!

Judge Judy DESTROYS an Obama-Supporting Welfare Cheat: I’m Sending This Tape to Congress!

The welfare system, in theory, is supposed to be temporary and help people when they are down on their luck. But in practice, it has created an entire class of citizens who refuse to work and live off the work of others. In many minority communities, with the number of single-parent households skyrocketing, the state often takes the place of the father.

Watch (below) as Judge Judy takes a “lazy” guy to task for misspending money the government gave him for rent. Because his friend provided him housing, he pocketed the money. And in Barack Obama’s America, it’s clear he had a sense of entitlement to abuse that government program anyway he saw fit.

Judge Judy, as a taxpayer, is not pleased and explains to him where that money (allegedly) comes from(!) She explains the purpose of the program, and is so mad that she promises to send this clip to Congress.

Watch:

Original article credit: American Journal Review

Not blaming Judge Judy or anyone, but I’m afraid she (along with a lot of taxpayers) might be a little uninformed.

And I’m not defending this kid’s action either.

For the record, I’m not for or against welfare. And no, I don’t have to choose one or the other. I do not have an opinion based on others perception of anything. So I consider myself neutral. You’ll see why later on.

Being “productive in society” may mean something noble to you, but NOT for the powers in government. Not blaming them, but being “productive citizens” is also part of the game and the cog wheel. And Congress is loving it. Why wouldn’t they?

You’ll see why in a minute.

With that being said, let me share THE most SHOCKING news you’ll ever hear in your entire “taxpayer versus welfare recipient” life.

I wanted you to read the paragraphs above without my two cents. However, I did highlight some key words for a reason.

  1. The word “suppose” is an assumption of an action that was designed for a particular purpose based on two or more agreements given to others. For example, tax dollars “supposed” to go towards a certain program but it’s not. Or, you “suppose” to go to work after finishing school, etc. Society put a condition on you that you’re “suppose” to do certain things based on what some politician or group told THEM about the particular action.
  2. The phrase “refuse to work and live off the work of others” is very popular among those who don’t know the game the government’s playing on them. The “refuse to work” is coined because the masses see “work” as a job you go to instead of the inner work of understanding who you are (thyself) without the labels put on you by others in society. But the BIGGEST misconceptions is “live off the work of others” myth. Others work has nothing to do with those on welfare because those who work aren’t paying for welfare recipient at all. Shocked? You’ll see why in a minute.
  3. If “lazy” is such a bad thing, why do most people like to relax in a “lazy” river? Hahaha just joking….on the serious note though, lazy is used as a weapon of words used by those who feel like they’re being financially and legally raped by the government, and throw their venom towards those who’s learning and using the system. You’ll see why in a minute.
  4. The blame game again; it’s all “Obama’s fault” right? His plan was to put as many people on welfare and food stamps right?
  5. The word “entitlement” is another favorite from the “taxpayer’s” venom. They claim that this kid is “abusing” the system by using funds “earmarked” for his rent on something else. And now get angry about it for a long time because they’re “forced” to pay something they don’t want to pay for.
  6. The last part’s my favorite. The author of this article obviously took this news personally based on the exclamation mark, and what most been told without seeing physical evidence or an audit showing how their “taxes” are used. And being “mad” about it definitely keep the fingers pointing and the “divide & conquer” game going.

Believe it or not, this stigma between taxpayers and “welfare recipients” are so profitable because it keeps America divided.

Look at it like this; it’s not the class warfare mentality that’s dividing America, it’s the assumption of where the resources coming from and where it’s going to…that keeps it going.

The best way to understand this game in a kindergarten level is to let Sherry Jackson, former IRS agent explain it to you.

How you digest this information is totally up to you, it’s neither right or wrong. However the thing that stuck out to me is the division this tax code has created. It’s causing this so-call “United” states to fight among each other for who owes what to whom over SPECULATIONS…….

That word “United” has a funny lingo to it doesn’t it?

References: Grab your copy of The Creature From Jekyll Island Now. And Stop Being A Self Sabotaging PAWN.

OH, AND THE UNITED STATES IS NOT BROKE AND NEVER WAS. FAR FROM IT. THAT’S THE OTHER SECRET YOU MAY NOT KNOW ABOUT, OR ELSE THIS “WELFARE” DEBATE WOULDN’T EVEN EXIST IN THE FIRST PLACE……..

WHAT’S YOUR THOUGHTS ON THIS? COMMENT BELOW…

 

Hillary Clinton’s war crimes are unforgivable. No real progressive could ever support her.

Hillary Clinton’s war crimes are unforgivable. No real progressive could ever support her.

Yep, we’re on Hillary again…

(WARNING: STRONG LANGUAGE AND CONTENT. VIEWER DISCRETION IS ADVISED)

Let me ask; what’s a “Progressive?” What does that mean?

I grew up in a right-wing Republican Bible Belt environment that always blamed “liberals” for every ills of politics, the economy, etc.

Well I’m not sure if they knew how to read but I did, and I decided to find out what the word “liberal” meant (according to old Webster, and NetScape..at the time…late 90s). I was surprise to read that LIBERAL in Latin meant (to liberate; a political philosophy that promotes liberty).

If that’s what “liberal” means then what the heck is “conservative?”

So if that’s liberal (among most American English language), maybe its best we learn a lot of Latin so we understand what the fuck we really saying without looking stupid?

I say that because in my experience I grew up around conservative “warmongers” who was ready to blow up everything under the sun in this God-forsaken planet. Everything and everyone who weren’t “conservative Christians” was an enemy of God and had to be dealt with. Yes, I grew up around that. Oh, and the death penalty was God’s will.

Now that I got all of that off my chest, it brings us back to the title regarding “war crimes”.

Let’s read the article below to get a clear reason why Hillary is being accused of such atrocious act.

IT’S PRETTY LONG SO BARE WITH ME HERE…

However if you’re impatient as me and realize that most of this shit is pure propaganda, you can skip all the way down to avoid insulting your intelligence.

Hillary Clinton made headlines with a speech in San Diego casting Donald Trump as unfit for the presidency due to the damage his incendiary rhetoric could cause. Simultaneously, the former Secretary of State sought to convince the California audience that she was the safer choice in foreign policy matters.

But when taking a closer look at US foreign policy under her leadership as the nation’s top diplomat, it’s obvious that Clinton could potentially be as disastrous as Trump if given the position of Commander-in-Chief.

Here are a few examples of countries where conditions are tremendously worse as a result of Hillary Clinton’s policies.

Hillary Clinton made Libya a failed state

In an April interview with Fox News, President Barack Obama, reflecting on his 7 years as Commander-in-Chief, admitted that ousting Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi was the biggest mistake of his presidency. While Obama took responsibility for the failure of Libya in that interview, he relied on the input of Hillary Clinton, his Secretary of State at the time.

In March of 2011, Clinton met with Mahmoud Jibril, who was leading the opposition to Gaddafi. As the New York Times reported, Clinton asked Jibril a series of questions about how his coalition planned to fill the power vacuum that would be created by Gaddafi’s ouster. And in the end, it was Clinton who convinced the White House that deposing Gaddafi was the right thing to do:

Her conviction would be critical in persuading Mr. Obama to join allies in bombing Colonel Qaddafi’s forces. In fact, Mr. Obama’s defense secretary, Robert M. Gates, would later say that in a “51-49” decision, it was Mrs. Clinton’s support that put the ambivalent president over the line.

The 2011 NATO-led invasion of Libya that took place after Clinton’s visit has since allowed extremist groups to seize power in an unprecedented takeover of much of the country over the last five years.

In 2014, the US State Department shut down the US embassy in Libya and issued a travel warning urging all Americans to stay away from the country. Roughly one year ago, Libya’s central bank, the last remaining institution in the failed state, was forced to flee to a city in the Eastern region of the country due to rebel forces encroaching on the bank’s facility in Tripoli, the capital. Libya is now a haven for terrorists, with thousands of ISIS soldiers using the country as a staging ground.

In an interview on CBS, Clinton laughed about Gaddafi’s slaying, proudly exclaiming, “We came, we saw, he died.”

Hillary Clinton deserves credit for poverty and instability in Haiti

In Haiti, the first state ever founded by freed black slaves, citizens are still fighting for political and economic freedom today, largely due to the influence of Bill and Hillary Clinton.

In 2011, Wikileaks published US State Department cables from 2008 and 2009 confirming that State Department officials were meeting behind closed doors with Haitian business leaders, plotting on how to stop the Haitian government from implementing a 37-cent hike in the minimum wage from $0.24 an hour to $0.61 cents an hour.

While Haitian President René Préval was initially neutral on the proposal of raising the minimum wage, he went on the record opposing the wage hike after consistent efforts from within the US Embassy in Haiti and the Haitian business lobby by July of 2009. Politifact rated the claim that Clinton’s State Department tried to suppress the wage hike as half-true, since there’s no link proving that Clinton directly played a role.

A Haitian boy carries water taken from a stream. (Care.org)

However, Clinton’s influence on Haiti didn’t stop there. As US Uncut previously reported, the former Secretary of State took an active role in swinging Haitian’s presidential elections in favor of corporate special interests. In the first round of Haiti’s presidential elections, thousands of citizens took to the streets demanding an annulment of election results, alleging that then-Haitian president Michel Martelly committed election fraud.

Martelly, who succeeded René Préval, is a close confidant of the Clinton family. In 2011, Martelly appointed Bill Clinton to an advisory board whose stated goal was to court foreign investors.

And in one of Hillary Clinton’s State Department emails made public, Clinton’s chief of staff received an email from another staffer openly boasting about using connections within the Haitian business elite to lobby for the withdrawal of Jude Célestin, Martelly’s political rival, from an upcoming runoff election. The aide, Kenneth Merten, predicted the news of the US interfering in election results would create widespread protests, and said he had called Martelly, asking him to plead with Haitians “to not pillage.”

While Martelly is no longer in power, his hand-picked successor, Jovenel Moïse, won the most recent election. However, watchdogs are calling the results fraudulent and demanding a new election. Ricardo Seitenfus, who has served as representative of the Organization of American States (OAS) for the last eight years, admitted that Haiti’s government is essentially a puppet of US interests, saying the Haitian election schedule is “subject to the U.S. schedule.” Hillary Clinton deserves to be closely scrutinized when touting her diplomacy record, as Haiti’s political instability is a result of her policies.

Honduras’ downfall resulted from a coup Clinton supported

Mural of slain Honduran activist Berta Caceres.

In 2009, shortly after Obama took office and appointed Hillary Clinton as his Secretary of State, Honduran president Manuel Zelaya was arrested at gunpoint by the military and forced onto a plane to Costa Rica while a new government took power. While the US State Department didn’t directly oust Zelaya, it refused to call his ouster a coup, despite calls from the U.S. ambassador to Honduras and from Congress to do so. In her interview with the New York Daily News editorial board, Clinton defended her decision to keep sending aid to Honduras despite the violent overthrow of Zelaya:

I think, in retrospect, we managed a very difficult situation, without bloodshed, without a civil war, that led to a new election. And I think that was better for the Honduran people. But we have a lot of work to do to try to help stabilize that and deal with corruption, deal with the violence and the gangs and so much else.

However, the result of the coup was a massive amount of bloodshed, as gangs and drug cartels began to take more power in the absence of a stable government. In the year following the coup, Clinton’s State Department published a list of human rights abuses prevalent in Honduras:

“…unlawful killings by police and government agents, which the government took some steps to prosecute; arbitrary and summary killings committed by vigilantes and former members of the security forces; harsh prison conditions; violence against detainees; corruption and impunity within the security forces; lengthy pretrial detention and failure to provide due process of law; politicization, corruption, and institutional weakness of the judiciary; corruption in the legislative and executive branches; government restrictions on the recognition of some civil society groups; violence and discrimination against women; child prostitution and abuse; trafficking in persons; discrimination against indigenous communities; violence and discrimination against persons based on sexual orientation; ineffective enforcement of labor laws; and child labor.”

The horrific conditions in Honduras triggered a mass exodus of migrants to the US. As Telesur reported, approximately 9,000 child refugees fled Honduras in 2015. Also in 2015, Clinton defended the deportation of children back to the Central American countries they’re fleeing in order “send a message.” However, Clinton has since walked back that statement as her Democratic presidential primary battle with Bernie Sanders became more competitive.

This March, the violence in Honduras became a subject of international scrutiny when 44-year-old environmental activist Berta Caceres was assassinated in her home. Caceres had been an outspoken opponent of a proposed hydroelectric plant on indigenous land, and had recently gotten in an altercation with soldiers, police, and employees of a private power company while protesting the project just weeks before she was killed.

Clinton is responsible for the fall of Iraq and Syria (and the rise of ISIS)

In late 2011, after months of sustained anti-government protests inspired by the “Arab Spring” movement, Hillary Clinton called for the resignation of Syrian president Bashar al-Assad. Then, in April 2012, Clinton gave a speech in Turkey more forcefully calling specifically for regime change, saying, “Assad must go.” Those three words created the policies that led to both the rise of ISIS in Syria and the European refugee crisis of 2015.

One of Clinton’s last actions as Secretary of State was to call for the arming of Syrian rebels fighting Assad. As the London Telegraph reported, Clinton’s plan to give weapons to Assad’s enemies was backed by not only former Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, but also by former CIA director David Petraeus and General Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. While Obama initially rejected his Secretary of State’s plan, he eventually agreed to arm Syrian rebels in the goal of ousting Assad.

However, as ISIS began to get a foothold into Syria and Iraq, the “moderates” that received weapons from the US were eventually overtaken by ISIS fighters, who suddenly found themselves in the possession of military-grade weapons paid for with US tax dollars. In a study conducted by Conflict Armament Research, which tracks the movement of arms in war-torn regions, researchers found that ISIS has weapons and ammunition not just from the US, but also from coalition forces that are funded by the US government. The access to advanced weaponry was likely the reason for ISIS’ rapid expansion into Libya, Egypt, and elsewhere.

The consequences of destabilizing Syria and Iraq are apparent. Over one million refugees, largely from countries where the US intervened militarily, fled to Europe between 2015 and 2016, creating the world’s largest refugee crisis since World War II. In this chart compiled by Eurostat, the top three countries people are fleeing are Syria, Afghanistan, and Iraq:

Yemeni blood is on Hillary Clinton’s hands

Yemeni citizens dig graves for those killed as a result of the Saudi invasion.

Saudi Arabia’s invasion of Yemen, which started in 2015 and continues today, was made possible with arms purchased by the US government. Since Obama’s presidency, the US has sold approximately $46 billion in arms to the Saudis, with many of those weapons sales greenlighted by Hillary Clinton’s State Department. As US Uncut reported in April, Clinton was particularly focused on making sure the US came through for Saudi Arabia in a 2011 weapons deal. David Sirota of the International Business Times reported that Clinton argued the arms deal was “in the national interest.”

At press conferences in Washington to announce the department’s approval, an assistant secretary of state, Andrew Shapiro, declared that the deal had been “a top priority” for Clinton personally. Shapiro, a longtime aide to Clinton since her Senate days, added that the “U.S. Air Force and U.S. Army have excellent relationships in Saudi Arabia.”

Saudi Arabia is very likely using the weapons acquired from that 2011 exchange to wage brutal bombing campaigns in Yemen. In March, Foreign Policy magazine accused the US and its allies of complicity in war crimes by funding and arming the Saudi regime:

Hundreds of civilians have been killed in airstrikes while asleep in their homes, when going about their daily activities, or in the very places where they had sought refuge from the conflict. The United States, Britain, and others, meanwhile, have continued to supply a steady stream of weaponry and logistical support to Saudi Arabia and its coalition.

This week, the United Nations added the Saudi-led coalition to a blacklist of states and armed groups that violate children’s human rights during conflicts, with UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon personally slamming

Hillary Clinton is completely right that Donald Trump is woefully unprepared to take on the responsibilities of Commander-in-Chief. But voters should also be leery of Clinton, who, despite having met with more world leaders than any presidential candidate in US history, is responsible for some of the worst foreign policy blunders of the 21st century.

I mentioned before how it seems as though ISIS is the new boogeyman to watch out for. Then the masses wait for the next boogeyman to be scared of and ready to “shoot first and ask questions later”.

However, I’m going to play Hillary’s (and every political figure accused of war crimes) attorney here and ask who the REAL war crime offenders are.

According to the Constitution, and an alleged conversation Ben Franklin had with someone back in the days (“you have a republic, if you can keep it” -Ben Franklin), the American people are blessed with the power to elect certain people to lead their country (which have me questioning and wondering about this Electoral College gig).

So let’s say that the American people vote for the president to make them feel special and important. During my entire life of paying attention to politics, every election I’ve seen, a candidate that mentions blowing something, ANYTHING up was the one that end up being the nominee for that party. I mean, they have to sound all bad ass and “cowboy” like in order to get the votes, ‘we gon’ track em down, wanted dead or alive’ and the people–the PEOPLE–eat that shit up like a siesta festival! You mentioned the Constitution? Well…

Sorry Ron but War loving ‘Muricans voted Romney as their Republican nominee in 2012

But you throw out some WAR candy like a Mardi Gras confetti and…

You sell it Trump and Cruz! I need to beef up my Lockheed Martin dividend checks…

By the way, you can count on Trump to deliver on ‘blowing the shit out of em’ because it seems like “blowing up’ sounds better than ‘utterly destroy’. (Cruz dropped out)

War sales. And it continues to sell. You just need a salesman/woman to pitch it very good to the bloodthirsty crowd that knows that these countries aren’t human.

So who’s the warmonger? Oh it doesn’t just end with Republicans, with Democrats war is only barbaric, until they got their boy in the white house…

The thing is Obama didn’t lie. He’s as truthful as he can come across. No really! He’s only a reflection of most of his “followers” who already knows war and see it everyday, they just need a (D) at the end for it to be okay.

So you see Bush, it wasn’t because you was the “worst President”, you just didn’t have the (D) at the end. All you had to do was play with the alphabets a little bit, then invading Iraq and Afghanistan would’ve been okay with them too.

Now now. In the meantime give Laura Bush (D) the head’s up if you want a second run at it. 😉 CREDIT: giphy

Most of the American people NEED war because they’re at war with themselves–constantly. That’s as criminal to humanity as the accusations thrown towards Henry Kissinger. How criminal?

It’s criminal in the first degree to say “God bless America”, and fear God at the same time. That’s where the war’s at; putting love and fear in the same sentence–that’s why they’re at war, their soul is like ‘WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS?!’

Then with the fear of this make-believe God who will punish you into eternal damnation if you don’t “love him”, you’re promoting an abusive relationship AND blackmail…

Hmmm, how does that fit in foreign policy? No..no…no the American people aren’t going to have a policy staying neutral according to that stale document called the Constitution. They need their “leader” to do a…hmm, what did Romney (the 2012 presidential nominee) say about implementing a “regime change” that’s best for American interest?

Church: give your life to an invisible God and pay your tithe or face torment and go to hell.

American foreign policy: give your allegiance to the U.S. and we put our bases here or face an invasion and we tell the American people through our CIA-back propaganda media you’re an enemy because you’re Muslim.

Better pay your tithing Imam…

If the American people DON’T vote for the president, then who get them the votes during primaries?

All I know is this; Ron Paul and every candidate that mentioned ANYTHING regarding the Constitution was left out, while the war mongers got the vote.

If voting with your dollar count, then is it on the businesses that fund the war, or the customer that fund the businesses that creates the war?

HILLARY’S MANSIONS: A Look Inside How Much Money Hillary Really Has (VIDEO)

HILLARY’S MANSIONS: A Look Inside How Much Money Hillary Really Has (VIDEO)

I just want to share this video first. Then say my peace…

(WARNING: MATURE LANGUAGE. VIEWER DISCRETION ADVISED)

If this is true, congratulations Hillary and Bill Clinton for achieving wealth that MOST people wish they had. But you know, they need a target guys.

Congratulations to ALL wealthy and successful people in the United States, and all over the world.

With that being said; I’m definitely seeing class warfare at work here.

Regardless if it’s Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump or any political candidate, I’m trying to figure out what is it that their residence have ANYTHING to do with the campaign or election?

Not trying to play the gender card here, but I’m actually surprised I didn’t hear any of the girls congratulating Hillary for being a powerful woman that achieved success for herself in a male-dominated arena. It would’ve been better than hearing ‘she can’t relate to us’…

Who’s “us?” Better speak for ya’ self…

CREDIT: globalgrind.com

 

The ONLY thing anyone knows about ANY candidate is what the corporate controlled CIA-backed propaganda mainstream media WANTS YOU TO KNOW. Nothing more.

Not defending either of them, but regardless of how ANYBODY feel about Hillary or Bill, most likely don’t know any of them personally, and probably never met them. And regardless of HOW the Clintons made their money, how certain people feel about them won’t stop them from banking it today, or forever more.

Next, this sounds like pure allegations. I didn’t hear anyone ask for proof, or evidence Hillary own any of those homes (not that it matters by the way). However, what disturbed me was the reaction after the “revealing” of the homes. They suddenly changed their minds with a flick of a switch–ALL BECAUSE she has multiple homes.

OMG they’re changing their vote because of a few extra million dollar cribs!!!!!

Don’t worry about it. It’s not like their vote ACTUALLY COUNT, totally forgot about that Super-delegate move…

CREDIT: knowyourmeme.com

Rather this video was scripted or candid, it also got me wondering if being successful (regardless of profession) has become a negative stigma in America? Did you hear what they said? ‘It seems like she can’t relate to everyday Americans‘……

Really? Well, now I’m wondering what’s an everyday American? I mean I would assume Bill Gates is an everyday American, so is Abigail Johnson (Fidelity Investments). Is being an “everyday American” have some kind of INCOME CAP or something? Is there some kind of bad taste regarding wealth in America these days?

The bottom line? Everybody want the wealth, but hate on the ones who have it. Go figure.

No wonder the wealthy keep to themselves.

Mad About Rigged Elections? Mainstream Media Says YOU Are the Problem

Mad About Rigged Elections? Mainstream Media Says YOU Are the Problem

Mad About Rigged Elections? Mainstream Media Says YOU Are the Problem

Op-Ed — Mainstream headlines constantly decry Bernie Sanders supporters for disrupting events in outrage, as if their protests and demonstrations somehow illustrate the devolution of the elections. But that focus by the corporate media utterly negates the consistent and continual reports of fraud and disenfranchisement fueling their ire.

And it’s getting ridiculous.

Newsweek, though far from alone, offered a prime example of the obfuscation of the election fraud and questionable campaign tactics by Hillary Clinton in its skewering of Sanders’ supporters.

Get Control, Senator Sanders, or Get Out,” Newsweek’s Kurt Eichenwald titled his op-ed — which thoroughly blasts the Vermont senator — as if he were somehow responsible for both the electoral chaos and the actions of an irate voting public.

“So, Senator Sanders,” Eichenwald writes [with emphasis added], “either get control of what is becoming your increasingly unhinged cult, or get out of the race. Whatever respect sane liberals had for you is rapidly dwindling, and the damage being inflicted on your reputation may be unfixable. If you can’t even manage the vicious thugs who act in your name, you can’t be trusted to run a convenience store, much less the country.”

Yeah! And that goes for you too…Donald Trump!

Really?

Because what Eichenwald obviates most readily in his attack is the inability to understand why those protests might be occurring in the first place. Judging by the timing of his article, it’s likely Eichenwald wrote it after chaos broke out at the Nevada Democratic Convention on Saturday — chaos that transpired after the party took it upon itself to ignore thousands who rightly believed Sanders delegates had been excluded unfairly from the caucus proceedings.

Despite the call for a recount, party officials refused to follow necessary procedure and abruptly adjourned the convention, leaving thousands of voters in the lurch — and hotel security and local law enforcement to deal with the aftermath. When things seem suspicious, apparently Eichenwald feels voters should not only have no recourse, they should be happy about it.

“Sanders has increasingly signaled that he is in this race for Sanders,” he continues, “and day after day shows himself to be a whining crybaby with little interest in a broader movement.”

It would be nice if Eichenwald’s hit piece were as much a joke as it comes across, but clearly he’s missed the point — and the vast movement supporting not only Sanders, but electoral justice. Worse, he didn’t stop there:

“Signs are emerging that the Sanders campaign is transmogrifying into the type of movement through which tyrants are born.

“The ugly was on display” at the aforementioned Nevada convention, Eichenwald adds, “where Hillary Clinton won more delegates than Sanders.”

No kidding. That would be precisely the issue that “cult” expressed fury about — Clinton managed to put yet another state under her belt under highly questionable circumstances. In fact, suspect happenings at nearly every primary and caucus so far oddly favor the former secretary of state — and Nevada stood as further testament to why voters are practically up in arms over what appears to be electoral favoritism.

But Eichenwald wasn’t alone in overlooking those concerns — or in blatantly mischaracterizing both that bias and its consequential thwarting of the wishes of a hefty segment of the voting public.

In the New York Times, Alan Rappeport also took the chance to strike at Sanders’ followers by citing Roberta Lange, Nevada State Democratic Party Chairwoman, who adjourned the convention early — earning the wrath of Nevada’s voters.

“‘It’s been vile,’ said Ms. Lange, who riled Sanders supporters by refusing their requests for rule changes at the event in Las Vegas,” Rappeport notes, adding, “The vicious response comes as millions of new voters, many of whom felt excluded by establishment politicians, have flocked to the insurgent campaigns of Mr. Sanders and Mr. Trump.”

Though he at least presented that aspect of the elections fairly, his description of what Lange actually did in Nevada misses the mark — that rules change had originally occurred prior to the convention, and Lange’s hasty and subjective decision on a contentious voice vote to permanently install the change arguably created the eruption of anger. But a number of Times staff have contributed sizeable amounts to Hillary’s campaign — and a Clinton family organization also donated $100,000 to the Times’ charitable organization the same year it endorsed her. Funny how bias thus peppers its reporting.

But the media roasting of Sanders and his supporters also appeared in the Sacramento Bee — where the editorial board also called the senator to task for the Nevada incident in lieu of calling out the controversial elections. According to the Bee,

“The episode had the reek of Trump rallies, where threats, insults, and sucker punches to defend the presumptive Republican nominee have been common. Yet looking back at the hundreds of Sanders supporters who descended on a Clinton rally in East Los Angeles earlier this month to intimidate her supporters, making one little girl cry, it now seems inevitable that the same kind of violent eruption would afflict those ‘feeling the Bern.’”

Seriously?

While the protest in L.A. certainly rattled Clinton supporters, violence didn’t pepper the event. One Sanders supporter — sporting a Free Hugs tee-shirt, no less — even assisted Clinton-supporting families with teary-eyed children in tow navigate through the crowd. While reports that someone ripped apart a young girl’s pro-Hillary sign might be valid, it would stand as the exception to what amounted to a boisterous demonstration over justifiable grievances. And, again, this obfuscation forgets entirely the need for demonstrations, which Hillary Clinton — in repeated lies, controversial policy proposals, and a campaign replete with fraud complaints — has clearly helped create.

Perhaps corporate, mainstream media — instead of targeting the symptom — should attempt to report its root cause.

No I don’t think corporate mainstream media should do that either. Reporting the “root cause” isn’t profitable and marketable. And if anyone (including you) really knew the root cause, you wouldn’t care what the media reports because you wouldn’t be watching it. And politics wouldn’t get under your skin, let along have anything to do with you and your life.

Perhaps enormous swaths of voters being dropped from the rolls in New York; Clinton’s inexplicably astronomical luck in coin tosses in Iowa; inexcusably untrained elections volunteers and their equally inexcusable tendency allowing Clinton supporters to participate in caucuses without first being registered; or any number of other examples from the mountain of ever-growing evidence the elections are, indeed, rigged, are infinitely more deserving of headlines than hit pieces against those protesting such affronts to the American electoral process.

See? If you knew the root cause, you wouldn’t care what headlines is more “deserving”.

Or perhaps we should all just do as Eichenwald suggests — swallow our pride and our desire for a less corrupt and fairer system — and turn tail.

Well I’m not in Eichenwald’s head but—I actually agree with him from my own perception.

Or not. Because this system is rigged — and the corporate media helps pull the strings. But as long as independent media reports what the mainstream refuses, and as long as fraud inundates the 2016 election, there will be protests — regardless of whether or not Newsweek and the Times and the rest of their ilk ever grasp accuracy in reporting.

So the system is “rigged”. Why?

What’s “rigged”, what does that mean?

Everyone who keep repeating “the system’s rigged” will give you more rigging. It’s the basic laws of attraction. And the government (and media) keeps on giving you what you keep saying they are…just keep on.

What’s rigged is using a wire hanger and aluminum to catch the right reception for your TV…that’s for those who remember the rabbit ears.

The mainstream media reports DRAMA, because drama sells. The thing is, drama is sold to a masses who’s addicted to–well, drama. So this article encourage “independent media” to report drama, then you’d be alright regarding coverage from a masses who wants more drama.

There will be protests. Really? How profitable. Protesting is such a masterful tool that get a bunch of angry people angry about something they know nothing about, for if they knew, they wouldn’t be protesting.

You see, the media is right. You might be the problem. It takes a viewer to turn the television on to watch what MSM got for them on today’s headlines to be angry about and share it among their angry friends and family. Same thing with social media, where everyone can click on their emoticons so Facebook, Twitter and other corporations can market to you based on your anger–voluntarily of course.

Mainstream media is a business, and they only sell what the viewers want. However, you’re not the problem if you like drama. What’s problematic is being in denial about it.

Bernie, Clinton, Trump, Johnson, Stein–it doesn’t matter who your cult of personality is. It’s all a game. And if anyone get so emotional over a story they heard (or watched) from someone else, and believe it without verifying the source. Well, maybe that’s a problem.

Then I’d encourage protesting.

Why Do Former Goldman Sachs Bankers Keep Landing Top Slots at the Federal Reserve?

Why Do Former Goldman Sachs Bankers Keep Landing Top Slots at the Federal Reserve?

Before we dive into this, I want to stress how crucial, critical, and important self-empowerment, responsibility, and choices are towards you–the individual. And, I want to highlight the importance of separating you–the individual from this soup of energy and mindsets of everyone else, or shall I say, the country.

So, read this for you and you only. Forget about the next door neighbor, forget about everyone else in your neighborhood, city, state, and the country altogether.

Next, forget about everything you’ve heard about everything the media says about everything.

You ready? Let’s go…

I will note this again because it should be noted again and again. Goldman Sachs should be dead. Door nail. Kaput. Finito. Gone. A piece of history. Expired.

But Goldman Sachs, Government Sachs, lives because it got bailed out by you the taxpayer. You’re the one who felt the brunt of the Great Recession. You who lost your home. You who moved in with the kids to make ends meet. You who went on food stamps quietly in desperation. You who had the heat turned off. You who saw the middle class slip away, away, away. You kept Goldman alive, largely because their former CEO Hank Paulson ran the US Treasury when Wall Street teetered on the open pits of hell.

This is the part where I would have the author speak for themselves. Unless they know you personally and you told them you went through all that and “bailed somebody out”, or you felt the brunt of the “Great Recession”, they no nothing about you.

However, IF you agree with that statement, I’m not going to stop you, I’m just curious to why you’d want to be in that soup in the first place if you desire anything in your life regarding money.

One of my pet peeves is when I hear people say “they’re spending taxpayer’s money” based on what their political gang or mainstream media told them, yet failed to justify their accusation by failing to see or even show me a balance sheet that prove something’s been paid by “taxpayers”.

Goldman should have fallen into the firey nether. A few of the other big banks would have followed the firm. But you know what wouldn’t have died? America.

Had we let capitalism actually work, had the crony barons actually paid for their breathtakingly stupid leveraged positions, we’d have probably recovered more quickly. Additionally, we’d now likely have a more robust (more) capitalist system than we had prior to 2008. The muck would have been cleared. Instead we must now deal with the crony system of legalized graft which has grown exponentially since the Crash.

Who’s “we”, and “us”?

We could’ve had THIS, but because THEY did THAT, we can’t have THE OTHER THING, and we gotta deal with THIS! So because we all are ordered to feel miserable because of THAT, all together America…

And now having been saved by you the taxpayer, the guy who likely couldn’t get past the reception desk at Goldman headquarters, Goldman has continued its crony quest.

(From The Nation)

Once Kashkari takes his seat on January 1, 2016, one-third of the 12 Federal Reserve Banks will be led by someone with strong ties to Goldman Sachs. In addition to Kashkari and his two fellow (and they are all fellow) recent appointees, the New York Fed’s president, William Dudley, is also a Goldman Sachs alumnus. He served as the bank’s chief economist for ten years as well as partner and managing director.

The presidents of the 12 Fed Banks help carry out the Fed’s bank supervision responsibilities, so the revolving door between Goldman Sachs and key Fed posts should alarm us. But it is also hard to see how the Fed’s recent selection of three Goldman Sachs bankers conforms with the Federal Reserve Act requirement that Fed leaders “represent the public,” with “due consideration” given to a variety of economic backgrounds and perspectives.

Still waiting for that balance sheet “taxpayer”…

Sadly The Nation’s concern strikes us as quaint, at best. They don’t like that the Fed system doesn’t spread the spoils of the system to the people they like. (The cronies they like.) This is the problem which plagues statist critics of the Fed. There is the tendency to want to believe that if the Fed was just run by the right people it would be a valuable tool for social engineering. They can’t bring themselves to call for an end to the bank, because a central bank is central to “progressive-statism.” And this is how the central banks always co-opt or simply dispose of their lefty critics.

Get real. End the Fed. Don’t be a wimp about it. Have some pride.

Who’s “they”?

Alright let’s clean this up. What’s a “cronie”? I’m trying to figure out what that mean to you. It has so many definitions. Well I’ll tell you mine. A crony is someone that tells you what’s going on with somebody else and using them as a crutch for not taking care of their own business.

What do you mean by that Diary?

I’ll tell ya. No one can end the Fed because “Americans” won’t allow it to die. How are they going to cash their checks every Friday? How are they going to apply for a credit card so they can get those “air miles” and “cash back” on certain purchases? How are they going to apply for that mortgage to be part of the “American Dream?” How are they going to write off certain interest payments and loans off their tax returns?

Pride? What pride? What’s so proud to blame another source on a financial decision you make? And on top of it, you need other Americans to agree with you? Would that make you feel special? Important? More “patriotic” to blame ole Goldman Sachs for your own financial woes? Oh, that corrupted government sachs stole taxpayers money? People are now broke, poor and eating mayonnaise sandwiches because of big old Goldman aye?

Now. American people. In unison, being angry with Goldman Sachs is so patriotic, it’s so patriotic to stress out over finances, and believe that you working hard at your job is patriotic, and paying your taxes is patriotic, and feeling angry when somebody else in D.C. spends “your money” on stupid stuff, ooooh doesn’t it make you so mad? Hey! Get angry you American! Did you know it’s patriotic to get a heart attack over some bullshit data, statistics and headlines CNN toss your way? It’s patriotic to be angry at wealthy people, greedy politicians and billion dollar corporations. Why wouldn’t it? You’re a taxpayer. Right?

I’m making fun of this because it boils down to be pissed off about something that you have to ask yourself; can I change this system tonight?

No, really ask yourself that question. Why are Americans so fucking angry? Angry about what? What the fuck are they so pissed about?

Is America the greatest country on planet Earth or is that a fucking typo people regurgitate blindly without knowing what the hell they’re even saying?

Why is America so goddamn angry?

I’ll tell you why.

America is a beautiful country with breathtaking natural resources. She is such a magnificent country, Mother Earth’s example of the treasures our planet can offer. And she utilizes one of the greatest real estate on Earth. Just ask the animals, which by the way I’ve never seen them angry at all.

Most of the American people however gives me hives. I’m allergic to almost everything they say, because MSM already convinced them that blaming others was the way to go.

Angry Americans angry about Mondays. And if they’re not angry about Mondays, they have to find something else to be angry about.

Are YOU part of that? What does it feel like? Just ask yourself that. What does it feel like to be angry with Obama, or Bush, or Monsanto, or ISIS, or Muslims, or any fucking body–how does that feel?

Why oh God help me why do YOU WANT TO STAY ANGRY?

What does that do to you? Who and where are you getting your sources from?

This article about Goldman Sachs isn’t the first. Goldman has been in the news for years. I didn’t trip over Goldman anymore because there was something I noticed that most conspiracy theorists did not….

Goldman was making money, and using players.

The complainers was the one who hated wealth.

I don’t know about you, but I love wealth. I love money. So, instead of agreeing with this article, I thought ‘since Goldman Sachs make a lot of money allegedly from taxpayers, why not buy some of their stocks?’

What? I can do that? People can buy stocks? Why didn’t I think about that before?

What? Mutual Funds invest in companies like Goldman Sachs? Why are retirees and taxpayers complaining about it? Don’t they have GS in their portfolio?

What was that? They don’t know? Why not? Because they leave that responsibility to the Mutual Fund manager? Well why don’t they see what companies they own? What? Oh because it’s a pain and they don’t have time for that? Oh…correction…they choose not to have time for that so instead of doing a little due-diligence on their MF portfolio they get angry over business deals based on what MSM tells them without verifying the source of the information? But why would they do that?

Because they just like being….angry?

Goldman Sachs is a business, and the American people are okay with that. Yes. Even most black people;

Obama was “allegedly” connected with, and campaign bankrolled by Goldman Sachs as well as Mitt Romney during the last election. Rather certain conspiracy sites was right about that or not, just the rumor was no concern regarding Obama supporters, they wanted their FIRST black President.

I’m surprised Goldman Sachs didn’t get a recognition for “change” from the NAACP–or was it?

Most people could careless about who Goldman is bankrolling, funding, “hiring”, and revolving door-ing, as long as people get their stuff Goldman can do what it does best.

Most people get upset with Goldman because they’re blaming America’s woes on everything except—–what’s going on in here…

Who lives in your mind? Why is it in there? Who put those thoughts in there? How did you even know anything about Goldman Sachs?

Forget about Goldman for a minute, and think about everything that’s happening in your mind, and if applicable your own household.

Did you know that when you allow what’s going on out there bother and affect how you run your finances and household, your home is no longer under your control? That means your home has experienced a silent invasion.

You are responsible of your mind. But when you lose it, and allow other to order you to feel a negative emotion towards something THEY invented, that never personally affected you, you just lost your freedom FROM responsibilities.

That’s equivalent of you living in a bad neighborhood in New York and tell your kids you’re leaving them alone to head out to California in order to fight for their freedom to not worry about burglars and hoodlums.

Think about that for a second. Long and hard.

Take control of your mind or someone else will be happy to control it for you. Start a business, make money. Take care of your family, and learn the game. Learn the game Goldman AND their buddies play. Then buy their stocks, while the other angry Americans start calling you a “crony capitalist”.

That’s including Goldman Sachs. 😉

The Illuminati Were Amateurs — The Facts Show These Five Families Rule the World

Before we get started, I would like to re-arrange this title….

The Illuminati Were Amatuers–The OPINIONS Show These Five Families Rule The World

Ah! There.

The word “facts” get thrown so many times, I’m starting to think it’s becoming a verbal confetti in a Mardi Gras parade of emotions that want something to defend their personal feelings towards something and call it “facts”.

I’ll tell yu what’s “facts”.

When you put your hands in water you’re getting wet. Put your hands in a flame you get burned. Jump out of a ten story building you’re going to fall to the ground below. Based on the laws of gravity, heat from the flame, and the molecules of water, the facts will show your body what facts are regardless of your feelings towards them.

Now that we got the “facts” part out of the way, let’s explore the five families “allegedly” controlling the world.

Now before we get into the nitty-gritty, this is the Court of The Diary. That means these powerful families need a defense. I’ve been curious to see what it would look like if there was someone who actually spoke on their behalf. In other words; facts don’t need explaining (you know, water don’t have to prove it’s not dry?), but accusations, conspiracies and allegations do. Just like in the court of law; the defendant lives in a nation where YOU’RE GUILTY UNTIL PROVEN INNOCENT…if that wasn’t the case, you wouldn’t be called a defendant, for if you’re innocent first, why defend? Defend what? So all this “innocent until proven guilty” is all bullshit, and most people I come across prove that point every time I mention the Rothschild, Rockefeller and Charles Manson.

And let’s not forget Adolf Hitler, Mao and Stalin.

So here we go, and I’ll act like their attorney. Remember, they have a right to a defense and their side of the story. Right?

As you begin to understand world governments don’t have your best interests in mind — that enemies of the State could more aptly be called enemies of the globe’s corporate and banking elite — power comes sharply into focus. (Those) who actually hold the power control the world’s economies, and it’s clear the fates of over 7.4 billion souls now inhabiting the planet are, at best, the least of their concern.

I object your honor! I actually agree that governments DON’T have you best interest in mind. Because not every person has the same interest. How do the government know who’s interest is apart from the other? Your own interest has to do with your own “state” of mind. If anyone interfere with your interest, aren’t they an enemy of your state of mind? And can you please tell the court your own independent definition of the word “elite” and “enemy?”

Regarding “7.4 billion souls”. Is that a proven count of people around the globe from your own personal account? Are you trusting the source you got this information from? And have you accounted the possible millions of indigenous and “off the grid” tribes as well?

No further…

Of those at the top of food chain, so to speak, a small collection of families dictates both domestic and foreign policy — mainly through fuelling “war” and conflict for the good of the military and pharmaceutical industries, and to a greater extent, corporate and central banks.

You mentioning here domestic and foreign policies. Are you currently a member of each bodies of government here in the states as well as all over the world?

You’re accusing my clients of “dictating” these policies by fueling war including the military and pharmaceutical companies. Are you a major shareholder, or on the board of these companies affected?

What’s your personal feelings towards corporations?

In order for military to work, you need willing troops, correct? And where does these troops come from?

Do they have the independent ability to choose rather to join the military or not?

In your independent definition, what is war? And do it require a compliance from that soldier for war to happen?

You mentioned pharmaceuticals. How many people who choose to exercise homeopathic approaches to their illness prefer prescription drugs than those who choose not to?

I would assume that you know all the “facts” about these families so I assumed you would know my last question. How many people depend on the pharmaceuticals for their health treatment?

Didn’t they make a choice to spend their money on these pharmaceuticals when they get a prescription?

No further…

Five families, in particular, have made a killing off killing — from the enormously lucrative business of debt it creates to the industries feeding off the plundering of world resources — and therefore control the world.

When you say “made a killing off killing”, what do you mean by that? Can you elaborate?

My understanding you say the business of debt is lucrative. Who request debt? I’m curious because from my personal experience, people go to the bank voluntarily to get a loan, a mortgage or apply for a credit card. No one forces them to buy it they just want it, what’s the crime in that?

If the business of debt is so lucrative, why aren’t you capitalizing on it?

You alledged my clients use industries to “feed off the plundering of world resource”. Do you have any physical evidence and proof of this allegation? Did you see them create these industries?

5. Rothschild

Perhaps the most well-known among those five are the Rothschilds, whose dominance of central banks, nefarious insider trading, and nearly invisible hand in world governance — without consideration for the greater good — frequently earns the blanket description, evil.

I always say that “bad” and “evil” is within the eyes and ears of the beholder. In other words, one way is bad to one person while that same way is good to the other. Now you mentioned “well known”. By whom? Did you know Mr. Rothschild in person?

What’s the “greater good”? What does that mean to you?

And what is evil from your own personal definition?

Would it make sense to say that not everyone in this planet have the same feelings or opinions of “good”, “bad” and “evil” as you?

Mayer Amschel Rothschild’s dealing in rare coins and antiques in Frankfurt, Germany, in the 1760s earned a rich patronage, allowing him to broaden his focus to include banking by the 1790s. In its 2005 list of 20 of “The Most Influential Businessmen” of all time, Forbes describes Rothschild as a founding father of international finance,” who “helped invent modern banking by introducing concepts such as diversification, rapid communication, confidentiality and high volume.”

Carrying on the various aspects of the family businesses, Rothschild’s five sons “effectively formed a multinational bank.” During the Napoleonic Wars, they facilitated“loans to warring regimes and traded in cotton, arms, and wheat in defiance of Napoleon’s ban on British exports” — cementing the family’s prominence in political circles as well as influence over governmental affairs. Nathan Mayer Rothschild formed the eponymous bank in London and financed the Duke of Wellington’s interests during those wars.

Estimates of the Rothschild family’s net worth vary greatly, in part because Mayer Amschel dictated a male-only inheritance structure in his will, forcing female descendants into family marriages to maintain their grasp on wealth. Additionally, the sheer number of family members and locations of Rothschild financial and business dealings make assessing the totality of family wealth virtually impossible — though it’s rumored to be in the hundreds of billions.

Cloaked in secrecy for centuries, rumors concerning the Rothschild family run the gamut — including the widely held suspicion it maintains a degree of control over the U.S. federal reserve. One defining fact about the Rothschilds — noted by both establishment historians and so-called conspiracy theorists, alike — has been its astonishing abilities to not only maintain such a high degree of wealth and influence, but to keep numerous businesses under family control over such a long period of time.

Mergers and partnerships aid have absolutely assisted the Rothschilds’ rise to power, such as the 2012 purchase by the Rothschild Investment Trust of a 37 percent stake in Rockefeller Financial Services — which cemented the family’s financial ties to the second dynasty in this list.

I’ve actually heard this story before. The question I have for you is…

HOW DO YOU KNOW?

I’ll be the first to admit I wasn’t there when he had his “antique coin business”, but the thing that stuck out to me was he started a business, and had clientele who voluntarily did business with him.

Where’s the crime in that?

He diversified his company’s portfolio, and someone came to him to finance some wars. Well, as a businessman would he let a good deal go cold? Is war personal, or it it just business? Can a bank control what you do with the loan they gave you when the money’s in your bank account? Is it the bank’s fault after you make the transaction?

According to the allegations, it looks to me as Rothschild is being accused of being a very well calculated and successful businessman. And, his entire descendants are being prosecuted for maintaining the family business.

So the question is this; who should be prosecuted, the one who wrote the check (Rothschild), or the one who cashed it (your politician)?

Who should be prosecuted, the bank who underwrote the mortgage, or the one’s buying the home?

4. Rockefeller

Son of a conman, John Davidson Rockefeller effectively began to solidify his American empire after buying out several partners who owned Cleveland’s largest oil refinery in 1865 — which became the foundation for the formation of the Standard Oil Company of Ohio in 1870. By then purchasing rival refineries and distributing its oil around the world, Standard — and Rockefeller — established a staggering monopoly on the industry, cornering some 90 percent of America’s refineries and pipelines.

He made them an offer, they sold. The basics of trading. However my question is; were you there when the transaction was executed?

Rockefeller’s pursuit of the market extended to every facet of Standard’s business, and “In order to exploit economies of scale, Standard Oil did everything from build its own oil barrels to employ its own scientists to figure out new uses for petroleum by-products,”according to History.com. Simply labeling Standard Oil a monopoly not only undercuts the company’s breadth, but downplays the savage and covert tactics Rockefeller employed to maintain its control over American oil.

What does “savage” mean to you? And what do you mean by “covert”?

The word “covert” has such a dirty word-like connotation doesn’t it? Is covert another simplier way of saying ‘not letting your left hand know what your right hand’s doing’?

Thanks in part to a series of 19 articles by Ida Tarbell, published in 1902 by McClure’s Magazine, the U.S. attorney under Pres. Theodore Roosevelt sued Standard Oil of New Jersey under the Sherman Antitrust Act of 1890. Over the course of the 1908 trial, Standard Oil’s dubious practices came to light — including secret deals with railroads, corporate spies, and bribes of elected officials, among other things.

In this court, it’s not what you know or what you’ve been told, it’s what you can prove. Can you prove without a reasonable doubt that these tactics was used during Standard’s business dealings?

Rockefeller “was accused of crushing out competition, getting rich on rebates from railroads, bribing men to spy on competing companies, of making secret agreements, of coercing rivals to join the Standard Oil Company under threat of being forced out of business, building up enormous fortunes on the ruins of other men, and so on,” the New York Timessummarized in 1937.

Though the trial resulted in the fractioning of Standard Oil into 34 companies, the government permitted the original stockholders, including Rockefeller, to keep their ownership stakes while putatively acting as competitors. Thus, the monopoly effectively continued for at least another decade afterward, though it arguably lives on in the exertion of power by companies like ExxonMobil, Chevron, and BP — just a few of those resulting from the official destruction of the Standard Oil empire.

Now, if these companies are descendants of Standard Oil, aren’t motorists continuously buying their products? Is that a crime?

Called “history’s richest manby Forbes in 2014, at the time of John D. Rockefeller’s death in 1937, “his assets equaled 1.5% of America’s total economic output. To control an equivalent share today would require a net worth of about $340 billion, more than four times that of Bill Gates,” whom the publication listed as the world’s richest man at the time of the article.

Other estimates imagine Rockefeller’s worth closer to $400 billion, and considering his habit of shady business practices, it wouldn’t be difficult to believe some of his fortune remained secreted away from the public spotlight.

What’s “shady business practices”, what is that? What does that mean to you?

All notoriety aside, Rockefeller stands as a testament to self-education, with his only formal training being a ten-week course in accounting — though it remains a matter of conjecture what good could have been accomplished had he focused his craftiness on other pursuits.

What does “good” mean to you in this context? My understanding is my client didn’t want to do “other pursuits” that’s why he became a successful oilman. In other words; he did wat he thought was good pursuits based on his opinion of “good”. My question is; if you had the power to make him focus on “other pursuits” what would that be?

In 2015, the approximately 200 descendants comprising the Rockefeller family were conservatively estimated to have a combined net worth of $11 billion — placing the dynasty well below the top of the list of America’s richest, at #22.

Grandson David Rockefeller was, in 1954, among the founding members of the Bilderberg Group — whose highly secretive annual meetings have long been fodder for theories that ultra-elite families seek to gain or maintain control of world governments.

Couldn’t it be because Bilderberg Group is what they call a “mastermind” group?

What’s the difference between that meeting, and a family meeting you hold and require secrecy among you and your family members?

Do you think that your decisions everyday regarding your transactions is just as important and affect the world as this “Bilderburg Group?”

Do you believe that every decision you make as a collective affect the world affairs one way or another?

3. Morgan

A panic inundated the U.S. in 1893, partly resulting from fear about the flow of the country’s surplus gold to foreign nations — but John Pierpont Morgan seized the opportunity to ‘save’ the economy and restore confidence in the dollar. Morgan had followed in his father’s footsteps in the banking industry, and formed J.P. Morgan & Company in 1895 — which, in effect, rescued the gold standard.

When you say “fear”, it make people do certain things–especially when it comes to their finances is that correct?

How did my client JP Morgan save the economy?

Were people forced to have fear during this time?

It seem as though Mr. Morgan benefited from this “fear” that was going on, would you agree?

In an agreement with then-President Grover Cleveland, Morgan “led a syndicate of bankers” — which, incidentally, included Rothschild — “to sell U.S. bonds to buy back gold from foreign investors. The firm offered the bonds for sale at $112.25 and sold out the entire issue in New York within 22 minutes,”according to J.P.Morgan.com.

So there was a mutual agreement between President Grover Cleveland and Mr. Morgan regarding a transaction of U.S. bonds and gold?

Go on…

With that gold and bond exchange, Morgan controlled the U.S.’ gold supply — allowing him the flexibility to then finance the creation of U.S. Steel, after an offer to buyout Andrew Carnegie for a price in excess of the U.S. government’s entire budget. After threatening Westinghouse — which had employed Nikola Tesla’s electricity using alternating current — with a patent infringement lawsuit, Morgan gained control of the emerging electric light industry and formed General Electric.

Are you saying that General Electric was NOT founded by Thomas Edison like the history books alledged? Are you telling the court that it was JP Morgan himself that founded General Electric?

Morgan’s unethical, cutthroat business practices — the creation of monopolies by eliminating competition, maximizing profits by slashing jobs and reducing wages, and lack of workplace safety — became known as ‘morganization.’ In fact, figures like Morgan became known as ‘robber barons’ for such tactics — their uninhibited greed fueled a severe stratification of wealth and became a popular target for muckraking journalists.

You’re accusing my client of “unethical” business practices. And then you mentioned “greed”.

What’s greed to you in your own independent definition?

And what’s your feelings towards “wealth”?

And his attempts to profit while exerting influence didn’t stop there. In an investigation afterward, it was revealed America had entered World War I, not for political and policy concerns, but for the profits of the banking and munitions industries.

Now what was your answer before when I asked you about war and the military? Was it my client’s fault that those who went to war joined the military based on their own free will to join? If every soldier (back then and now) all decided not to fight another battle again, would there even be a war?

Senator Gerald P. Nye, who headed the eponymous Nye Committee, vowed at the outset, “when the Senate investigation is over, we shall see that war and preparation for war is not a matter of national honor and national defense, but a matter of profit for the few.”

If this is true, then why do most Americans thank a soldier or a veteran that fight in a war? Shouldn’t a shareholder of a defense company honor them instead?

If war is all about profit, then do soldiers really fight for anyone’s “freedom?”

As it turned out, U.S. banks, including Morgan’s, lent over 100 times as much money to allied countries than it had to adversaries — and in order to protect those loans, the financiers urged the Wilson Administration to come to the aid of their allies by joining the war. Dubbed the “merchants of death,” arms manufacturers were again rumored to ally with the Morgans in the buildup to the second world war.

Who were the adversaries? And why were they “adversaries?”

And who told you they were adversaries?

Recent rumors have suggested a far comfortable relationship than the public would prefer, between what is now JP Morgan Chase and the Federal Reserve. Despite the U.S. abandoning the gold standard, the New York Fed still houses the country’s precious metals in a fifth sub-basement — across the street from JPM’s own fifth sub-basement-situated gold vault. As Business Insidernoted about the ZeroHedgereport, which brought the seeming less-than-coincidental locales back into the spotlight in 2013, the public at large will likely never know if a tunnel exists connecting the two gold vaults.

Unless you’re a shareholder yes? Than wouldn’t that encourage you to become one?

Closing arguments:
Ladies and gentlemen of the jury. It seems to me as though this plaintiff is only presenting heresy, which means none of us was there to see these events happening first hand.
Another thing that strikes me is the way all of my clients are described in this article. It looks to me more like an instruction manual to see how you can buy your own country, and politicians are ready to be sold. Just by becoming a calculated and sophisticated business person.
Is that a crime?
The plaintiff mentions my clients being part of what they call the “Illuminati”. Now according to the Latin word illuminatus, it means “enlightened” or “bearer of light” of knowing thyself despite what indoctrination is enforced by the state and religious institutions.
Rather you agree with that or not, my question to you–the jury, is this:
What is an “enemy?”
And, isn’t enemies based on preconceptions of someone else feelings or emotions towards what’s being called an enemy?
The only enemy that exist is the one that refuse to challenge those who want you to think or believe or feel a certain way. Presenting an alternative approach or argument against the popular beliefs of the masses would make YOU an enemy of the state of minds who believe everything that was spoon-fed to them from a regurgitated recycled accusation.
The plaintiff want you to believe that my clients committed crimes of providing a product that the masses wanted. The masses is what bought the oil, the prescriptions, the loans, the coin collections–the masses are the ones who agreed that my clients had the products they wanted. Is that a crime?
So my clients wanted more power. So they wanted control over their business operations. They gave the politicians what they wanted–money. The politicians took the money, and then made laws with it. Is that a crime?
My clients could never be in the position they are without the cooperation of the free market, and the politicians they voted for in office. In other words, my clients depended on a cooperative voluntary action of the buyers for their products, and they were able to capitalize on what the people wanted. Is that a crime?
However, if anyone truly have a problem with the business involvements of my clients, I recommend not doing business with them. Never mind anyone else, it starts with you. It’s none of your concern if people continue to do business with them, that’s what this whole case is about ladies and gentlemen of the jury.
But let’s say the plaintiff is correct about my clients’ business practices. Maybe it’s a good idea to be another Rothschild, Rockefeller or a Morgan.
Other than that, what is the whole point of the plaintiff? So they wanted to show you the ills of my clients and how they built their wealth. Now you know that at least they were businessmen. Now what? What do you do with that? Point out all the misery of the world’s affairs and blame it on the “elite families”? If that make them feel good then by all means…
But what do you do about this? “Informing” people about it does what? What does it do for you? Honestly, we should ask ourselves that question. Can you end the Illuminati tonight? If that’s the case, are you trying to end “knowing thyself”?
If “bearer of light” is what an Illuminati is, then based on YOUR personal beliefs, is that your version of evil?
Regardless of what I said here, you are the Honorable judge here to decide who’s guilty.
Charge: crimes against humanity.
Defendant: Rothschilds, Rockefeller, Morgan were only strategic businessmen and paying politicians to determine the policies of governments all over the world.
Plaintiff: Rothschilds, Rockefeller, Morgan are accused of “manipulating” world affairs through ruthless business tactics and bribing.
If they’re guilty, you have to think of the proper sentencing that will affect them. And every decision the consumer and political leader makes is out of their control because some unseen force is making them purchase the product and/or service and they have no common sense.
If they’re not guilty, then they’re acquitted of crimes against humanity. And it’s okay to start a business and build it to a powerful empire for yourself and your family because you’re providing a great product the consumers want, and because of your intelligence and knowledge in business, you’re able to buyout your competition and provide wealth for your family so vast it last for generations to come, you become a target for conspiracy theorists, you’re accused of being part of the Illuminati and you have haters who hate wealth and prosperity and hate you for not sharing your secret with a bunch of people who shunned wealth based on their belief system.
Okay enough playing “their lawyer”, I really wanted to show the other side of the coin as if someone was speaking on their behalf. I have no opinion regarding these families for I’ve never met them in person. The last thing I allow myself to do is to have an emotion towards a person or place based on someone else story. Regardless of who it is though, every human being in this planet deserve to have their side of the story told–or at least defended 😉

Enjoy your transgender bathrooms. We just lost America.

 

(WARNING: CONTAINS EXPLICIT LANGUAGE)

Before you read this article, I want to introduce a new concept to you. Everything this writer says, reverse it. You’d be shocked of what you read. I’ll give you a head-start at the beginning of a few paragraphs. Then after that, you’re on your own.

I learned how to do this after realizing what the terms ‘don’t throw stones in a glass house” and “we all live in a house of mirrors” truly meant, you can actually see what the person is thinking about themselves, and telling you what’s on their minds!

Yes, totally trippy right? But let’s be honest here; how can ANYONE speak or let along THINK on YOUR behalf? Even in a crowd of Americans, not every person thinks “American”.

How would you even know what the guy next to you is even thinking? If you can, good luck really seeing it.

So without further ado, read this article, and like I famously do, I’ll put my little two and a half cents in, then share your thoughts below…

Key=() are alibis of the self

While (you) I were fighting over who should use what bathrooms at Target, (we) I lost (our) my (country) perception.

While (you) I were arguing with coworkers over who would leave the country first if Trump/Clinton were elected, the “American Dream” perished.

Don’t believe me? Then perhaps ALL is lost. And I can prove it all to (you) myself through the eyes of a child.

The screens around our house in the past couple of weeks stand in stark contrast to what’s in front of them.

The television (that’s voluntarily watched) … the laptops (that’s voluntarily used) … the iPads (that’s voluntarily played with) … the cell phones (that’s voluntarily operated) … filled with images of the attacks around the world. Day in and day out, (we) I hear stories about “refugees” pouring into the United States. Broadcast are the sounds of tone-deaf leaders. Of anger. Of hatred. Of hurt. Of fear.

In front of those screens runs our little daughter. Just over a year old, she’s the greatest blessing a young family can have. She’s filled with innocence, love, joy and our hopes for the future.

But there was a lull in the media noise on Sunday when we attended Mass. Our priest usually preaches about love. Faith. Hope. But there was a different dynamic this week.

There was a different energy.

This time, he talked about the end of times.

Our priest is far from being an alarmist. Just the opposite. But this particular Mass, he spoke deeply and heavily about being prepared. “For we know not the hour … ”

He wasn’t trying to frighten people. But he also understood that he couldn’t be tone-deaf to the deep concerns of his flock.

It’s hard not to be afraid. It’s hard not to have an underlying anxiety. It’s hard not to wonder and pray over whether your children will have the same opportunities you did.

Growing up, I paid close attention in history class. And I’ve always felt a very deep sense of patriotism. I’ve always felt great respect for my country and believed that if, God forbid, we ever faced World War III, America would once again triumph.

Perhaps my fear, and the anxiety of so many others, is that (we) I were wrong.

You’re on your own….

We were wrong because of one simple line that I believe may have been written wrong. It should have read, “One Nation, Divisible After All.”

Have we ever faced a time when our country was so polarized? Have we ever faced enemies so dangerous? Have we ever been on such a precipice that a frightening and painful energy radiated through each of us, tying us together in some disturbing, unifying, powerful and yet simultaneously divisive way?

I’m angered to see that we live in a country where we have gone soft. We’ve become hypocrites, and we’ve become pansies.

We forget that our grandfathers stormed beaches to “protect freedom”. Instead, we demand that the freedom now come in the form of a shelter from hearing words we don’t like.

We flip out because our $7 coffee comes in a red cup.

We cancel concerts and cost people jobs because we don’t agree with a law that the people of the state passed.

We care more about protecting where someone can take a leak than we care about the safety of our children. OUR CHILDREN.

We give out trophies to kids who come in 8th place. Eighth freaking place.

We dig up the graves of people who have been dead for a hundred-plus years because they had something to do with the Confederate flag, and that offends someone NOW.

We say we hate what Democrats have done to the country, so we elect a House and Senate full of Republicans who proceed to also place THEIR heads up their collective asses as well. It seems as if both parties forgot what they were supposed to be doing and whom they are supposed to be representing.

I know I put my snippet two cents in between….but I’m going to let this one flow on, it’s getting pretty good. Don’t you think?

We pick sides and parties and teams and defend them to the ends of the Earth, ignoring the facts, pointing the fingers and hoping someone else will cover the cost of our skyrocketing and borderline pointless health insurance.

I couldn’t resist…they mentioned “FACTS”. That’s my neck of the woods!

The only “facts” that exist in this world is one plus one equating to two. No matter what your belief, patriotism of any country is, sexual preference or ethnicity is–every human being agrees that one plus one is two. Taking $5 to buy a product for $3 and getting $2 back for change is a mathematical FACT. Dipping your hand in water and getting it wet is a molecular FACT. Putting your hand in a fire and getting burned is a scientific FACT. No matter what anyone’s philosophies or feelings towards water, or fire is—they’re going to get wet, or burned. And if they disagree, that’s ignoring the FACTS.

Okay carry on…

We talk about the number of homeless vets who we have to feed and clothe and house when it’s convenient for us to leverage them like pawns in a game – yet tomorrow, so many will forget to feed and clothe and house them.

Okay I lied.

I’ve personally met homeless people (and veterans) myself, and based on my personal experience with them, they are a lot more smarter AND intelligent than most “regular people” would take them as. There’s most likely a deeper reason why they choose to be homeless in the first place. Some even make it as a career to “stay off the grid”. Don’t take my word for it, ask them yourself why they choose to be homeless. It’s really not all that bad if you know how to play the game.

I honestly don’t believe I am responsible for their “clothing” and “housing” because they’re grown and have the mind to take care of themselves. Sometimes, they actually want you to even forget about them based on deeper reasons.

But it depends on your own personal perception as well. Carry on…

We ignore the simple facts about our dangerously open borders and the lack of a vetting process for refugees, then we stand in horror as ISIS attacks and we ask our politicians how they could have let this happen. And then, of course, we put a fast lane in for more to cross the border.

Okay stop! Dangerous borders; is that a FACT or an OPINION? Well let’s see;

“Dangerously” sounds like an opinion to me. Going back to fire. You might think fire is dangerous because it could burn you if you’re not careful. It can also be safe if you use it for a purpose like cooking especially if you know what you’re doing. You can use fire to cook food for man, and you can also use it to cook the man. One way is “awesome” based on if the food is tasty, the other is “horrific” based on smelling his burning flesh after. But you can not escape the FACT that fire is a gas you used for either situations.

Borders are a fictional line seperating jurisdictions. What’s FACT is the other side is called Mexico. Rather your opinions on the borders is from your own perception of going there and seeing it first hand, or you got it from the propaganda mainstream media, you can not deny the FACT that it has a border between two countries.

Regarding “ISIS”, that’s also an opinion. There’s a good chance, I’ll say about 100 percent, that you’ve never been violated by an ISIS member personally. BUT, based on your “television, iPads and laptops, the media taught you how to fear something. Rather it’s ISIS, or them “foreigners”, you FEAR something based on what you’ve “heard” from a third party source.

The ONLY thing to actually fear and be horrified is fear itself. And fear loves company. In other words, when there’s two or more in agreement to fear something they don’t understand, the only thing they fear is their lack of understanding.

Carry on…

We put in place more gun laws to prevent the bad guys from doing bad things. Because for some reason, we believe that bad guys give a damn about laws and that giving them an open shooting range on a military base or school campus will somehow protect our citizens. But then we completely ignore the massive problem of mental health in this country. We’re more worried about the tool than we are the person.

What is bad? And what is good? I guarantee you that every person in this world has a different definition than you do.

What mental health problem do you refer too?

We cry out that police are our enemies … and then we beg them to protect us from the likes of ISIS.

Well it depends. Sometimes the cops are called, then are told to take their time because you’ve already fired the first shot on self defense.

We celebrate court rulings with rainbow flags that speak volumes about how far we’ve come and how inclusive we are as Americans … then we tell our neighbors to remove their American flags and stop saying “Merry Christmas” and “Happy Hanukkah” because it offends us.

Or remove their “Nazi” and “Confederate” flags because it offends them…

We send billions of dollars overseas to help the homeless in impoverished and war-torn nations while we cut the funding for our own food banks and homeless programs.

I’m wondering if every American citizen that make these allegations of where the United States sends its billions to, if they’re familiar with what a “balance sheet” is. And if they do, if they really take the term ‘taxation without representation’ seriously.

In other words; how many Americans actually demand a line-by-line balance sheet of the United States and determine where every single dollar’s going to. And if they understand the difference between a “BUDGET” of their government, and the “BALANCE SHEET” of their government.

Then, every American will be able to see financial FACTS of where the $10 is going rather $5 going to “war-torn countries” while $3 is spent on “food banks” and the remaining $2 to “homeless programs”.

Or is all that talk about “our taxpayer dollars” is just a talking point they regurgitate from where they hear from mainstream media and their politicians?

We get into fistfights about “under-inflated balls” while gorging ourselves on beer and wings at football games … while millions of Americans wonder how they’re going to pay their mortgage and put food on the table for their families.

Well I can answer that. Word on the street has it that this is a country of, what’s that huge “E” word that’s going on everywhere that help take families out of poverty? What is that word…

Entrepreneur? Starting a business? Millions of Americans were (and are) paying their mortgages and some by starting a home-based business without waiting on their politicians to “do something”.

That self reliant attitude of knowing they have something of value to give to the marketplace just like many thousands of households are doing today. I doubt the news is mentioning that.

And something to chew on: almost every wealthy family and household who’ve I personally met that started out of barely anything had two things in common.

  1. They rarely (if anytime) watched TV, or NEVER watched the news. (detrimental to their focus on their family’s financial and mental sanity well-being)
  2. They had a mini library of books regarding finances, corporations and personal growth.

In other words, instead of being scared of “ISIS”, worrying about transgendered bathrooms, and how everybody else lives and religions are, they’re focused on minding their own household business, and keeping anything toxic out of their homes AND minds (including their children).

Oh, and America’s still home to the MOST self-made millionaires and billionaires in the world.

But that’s a good start. Become very creative on how to pay for that mortgage or dinner by starting a good old American home-based business.

Carry on…

We fight tooth and nail over whether someone dying of stage four pancreatic cancer should be allowed to use medical marijuana while drugs like heroin are running rampant in our schools.

No one stop that person from buying “weed” period. Yes they have to buy it off the street corner, but there’s a good chance that dealer’s not going to take that $20 to lobby their Congress to pass a bill to “legalize” it.

Heroin on the other hand…them methadone clinics are something else!

I’m basically saying fuck anyone who’s telling a sufferer how they can or can’t treat their illness. If you need to go to the corner of 3rd Street and Main to get your plant, go get it.

But if you want to do it the “right way”, then wait for society to catch up to your ideal of “treatment”.

We teach kids that there should be no boys section or girls section at the store, but our kids notice that we won’t sit down with our neighbor for a beer because they have a different skin color and we’re too busy fighting over what is and isn’t racism.

We hold massive rallies demanding $15/hour for flipping burgers … but we sit quietly on the sidelines when our men and women protecting our country who make $11/hour aren’t getting paid because Congress is debating their funding.

Okay I’m going to defend the men and women in uniform’s sound minds by saying that they do start businesses of their own so they don’t have to “depend” on congress to “do something”. And there are local and national charities available as well.

First I’m going to say what might be the most controversial and “patriotically incorrect” thing I can say here. Ready you “First Amendment” loving Americans?

The men and women in the military are doing everything BUT protecting your country that you think it is. They don’t fight for “freedom”. How can they fight for something no one barely know anything about?

If “America” had freedom, you wouldn’t even need the military to fight anywhere, for freedom doesn’t need defending or “protected”. Freedom don’t know anything about war or a fight.

If you fear anything, you have no freedom.

Just look at September 11, 2001. Just mentioning that date to all who’s familiar with it strikes some kind of “emotions” in you. Then there are all kinds of memories that cross your path. Then that’s where you lost your individual freedom because you started to FEAR SOMETHING. It doesn’t matter what it is, you feared something, and it stayed with you since.

Fear is a multi-billion dollar industry. Fear is what sent those kids to a war they didn’t understand. Fear is what murdered millions of innocent civilians in the name of the United States people.

And fear is what caused every American citizen to criticize, demonize, and harass ANYONE that looked like a “terrorist, sound like a “terrorist”, and to anyone who designed art to even make fun of the terrorist event.

Then you fear demanded them to suppress their freedom to question EVERYTHING media and your government said about the event. And even if you ask questions, you kept it to yourself in fear of a patriotic “mob-rule” due to a massive DIS-ease of cognitive dissidence.

Don’t know what cognitive dissidence is? Well, have Kim Kardashian tell you.

The American troops work for major banking corporations. That is an allegation, however, when you consider every country the United States “INVADED” and colonized….

Now what if soldiers from these same countries invaded the United States, your town all because they’re “fighting for their people’s freedom”?

In other words; flip what the military is doing all over the world and reverse it here.

Then you ask yourself who’s the REAL terrorist?

We change our profile pictures to colors that represent solidarity with a country that was attacked by terrorists … then we attack our neighbors for being concerned that the same could happen here.

Yeah I’m wondering everyone was going to change their profile picture to the Iragi, Afghan, Libyan, Syrian and countless other countries attacked by the United States military in solidarity….then attack our neighbors for being concern of not caring about HUMAN RIGHTS AND LIVES.

Or does the human race ends at the American and European borders? Not sure of the civilized totem pole.

We’re terribly focused on what matters to us as individuals. Marriage. Cell phones. Birth control. On and on and on. We’re so worried about what matters to “me” that we forgot that in order for us to have a “me” … we have to first have an “us.” A safe “us.” A unified “us.” An “us” that can at least find some kind of middle ground.

Wait. I should be focused on “ME”, BECAUSE I AM THE ONLY ONE IN THIS WORLD I CAN CHANGE.

I can’t change “we” and “us”, because like I mentioned earlier, everyone don’t think the same way. And even if you think they do, how would you know what they’re thinking?

In other words; everyone have their own minds. Right?

It’s so tiring and boring to have a “we” and “us” that thinks like me. The “ME” factor is more important than your country, religion, social acceptance, and even your own family.

Yeah I said it.

That’s the whole reason why this person wrote this entire article, because they’re so caught up on what’s going on out there, they don’t realize they are interpreting what’s going on in their “ME” factor.

They’re at war with themselves.

This person has it all backwards. In order to have a “we”, you must first have “YOU”. No one is going to get you up in the morning. You get up in the morning regardless if your next door neighbor is or not. You make sure you’re not going to have bad breath when you brush your teeth before you head out, regardless if anyone in your country has either. That’s the “ME” factor.

But let’s say it is a “we” factor. And everyone decided to believe that “we” comes before “me”.

If “we” agree in unison that the world (including America) is going to hell in a hand basket, but YOUR world is as peaceful and rosy, you MUST dismiss your awesome optimistic life because “we” believe the world is going to hell in a hand basket.

Good luck with trying to find a “common ground” solution because–like I mentioned before; YOUR version of “hell” could be light years apart from the next door neighbor’s perception of “hell”.

Try to find common ground on that, and let me know how that’s working out for you.

Tomorrow is a new day. So tonight, before bed, we pray … just a little harder, perhaps, than we’ve prayed before.

Could it be that “praying a little harder” isn’t giving you the results you’re looking for? The thing is God IS having YOUR way in America.

We put our daughter to sleep and shut off the television. The internet. The phones. The iPads. All screens but the black and white monitor where we can see nothing but innocence. And for a moment, just one fleeting, precious moment, we’re once again one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

I don’t expect everyone to agree with everything in this article. But if even a piece of it resonated with you, please share it with others and ask them to do the same. It’s time we start having some very difficult and very real conversations. I hope this helps start that.

Before I go on my rant, I respect this author’s ability to express their beliefs, opinions and thoughts on this matter regardless if I agree with them or not.

With that being said, I’m going on my rant. Not against this writer, or anyone who agrees or disagree with them. My rant is towards me!
Yes, myself. Ever had a rant against yourself? Ever looked at yourself in the mirror and asked;
‘what the hell is wrong with me thinking this? Or believing in that?’
It’s pretty therapeutic, you should try it sometimes.
Well I give myself a self rant everyday when I feel like blaming the ills of the world, society, the country, economic woes, terrorism, social ethics and everything in between on everything and everybody else–except me.
Remember what I said earlier where no one think the same way or time as you. It’s impossible. Everyone have their own individual agenda on why they do certain things. There’s a SELFISH reason why people go to work. That individual could careless about the financial well-being of their employer, they just care about being compensated. There’s not a damn thing wrong with that. It can’t be more right than for you to think about only you!
Yes, it defies conventional wisdom and every ethical measure you’ve been told to practice, but the “ME” factor is what separates you from the rest of the “God bless America” herd. The same herd that continues to believe everything the media spits out at them on the 6 oclock news must be true. Don’t believe me?
Then who is ISIS?
I never heard of “their” kind of ISIS. The ISIS I’ve heard about was an ancient Goddess of some sort back during the days of Atlantis or something. But that’s all, I “heard” about it, never met this goddess.
Who’s Donald Trump? Hillary Clinton?
Who the heck is Kim Jung Un? Never met the guy, have you? I have no opinion on anyone or any place I’ve never been or personally met. And even if I did, I have my own personal perception of them. What I do have is unconditional love for them because I have unconditional love for myself, all of humanity, and for Mother Earth.
In other words; I elect not to have media insult my intelligence to tell me what to think about the economy, someone’s personal lifestyle, any country, someone else version of “god”, or how I should feel about certain topics and brands.
At the end of everything I recommend to myself to turn the TV off, and any information I receive regardless of where it’s coming from lead me to ask these questions:
“Does the information invoke a feeling in me to have unconditional love towards the situation it’s focused on, and therefore have appreciation for the different ideologies and cultures all over the country and around the world?”
What that means is; with unconditional love, there is NOTHING anyone can do in this world that would make me NOT love them anymore, for love has no conditions.
If the answer’s YES, then THAT is the ME that can become the change I want to see in MY world.
If the answer’s NO, then THAT is the ME that can utilize my freedom of choice to shut the drama off in MY world.
After all, it’s only YOUR perception. Right?
