Politics
The article examines the current state of politics in the USA in light of the George Orwell dystopian novel, 1984. An interview with Ralph Nader provides the p focus for the analysis and probable or possible outcomes. Nader speaks to Clinton’s secret speeches on Wall Street, and the contract that protects them from disclosure. Civil unrest is probable. A groundswell of mass mobilization is essential.
Social scientists observed that truth matters less to people than reinforcement. We reformulate misstatements into truth so they conform to our biases. We do not change our beliefs even in the face of opposing facts (Normalcy bias).
Are you wondering what on earth is happening during this time in history? Evidence of upheaval is apparent now more than ever, especially politically. Intuition expert Penney Peirce weighs in on what’s going on.
Bolstering his argument that voters in every state deserve a chance to have their preference registered, Bernie Sanders proved too much for rival Hillary Clinton in Tuesday’s Democratic primary in West Virginia, a state she carried handily in 2008 when running against Barack Obama.
According to Politico, of the $60 million raised by and for the Hillary Victory Fund, a PAC jointly controlled by the Hillary Clinton campaign and the DNC, less than 1% of the money raised ended up benefiting state Democratic parties. Why does this matter? Because Clinton has been touting from day one, it seems, that she’s been raising money for the party as well as for herself, and the media, even after stories like this, by actor and activist Margot Kidder, started coming out, has been taking her at her word, allowing the assertion to go unchallenged, even when the facts were at hand. I’ve been calling the Hillary Victory fund a “kickback scheme.” Others have called it money-laundering. Full explanation of how the transfers work is here.
What’s the use of holding caucuses, primaries, or even general elections, if selection process is rigged?
Obama was unusually candid about the country’s state of affairs — even if he articulated them in a comedic, albeit smug, way. “You all look great. The end of the republic has never looked better,” he said to laughs and applause.
Indiana exit polls showed Sanders again beat Clinton among young people, white voters, political independents and people who most value honesty in a candidate.
If the U.S. presidential race is making you want to cry, try laughing instead — with these popular memes.
…Sanders himself has called out mainstream corporate media for its bias, and many award-winning journalists have done the same, illustrating how mainstream media is plagued by corporate, intelligence, political, and financial interests. Some of these interests are furthered through pushing the idea that the world faces a great threat, that we are in danger, and must accordingly give more money to the department of defence and more of our personal freedoms to the government; national security must be heightened in order to combat ‘terrorism.’ We have been seeing this with ISIS a lot lately, and with terrorism in general. Mainstream media ties terrorism to the Muslim faith when they have nothing to do with one another, and unfortunately, this propaganda campaign has been successful in its efforts, brainwashing many people, especially in the United States, into fearing Muslims.
The Supreme Court must by the Constitution hear every case presented to it. It does not. It hears only 1% of those presented annually, justifying this by the unconstitutional Judiciary Act of 1925 under President William Howard Taft. The Su[preme Court is the third branch of government along with Congress and The Executive. It guarantees citizens equality under Law. As it stands now there is NO equal protection under law.
“More people are discovering that the system is all rigged and voting is just pacification,” three-time presidential candidate Dr. Ron Paul said about U.S. elections in an interview with RT America.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has rejected claims filed by 2 families in Boise, Idaho, who alleged the USDA’s pesticide treatment contaminated their crops and poisoned a cattle herd.
Despite winning more points in the primaries, Hillary Clinton has sme serious outstanding issues that will undercut her potential of winning the Presidential race for the Democrats. Not so Bernie Sanders. He is well and loudly supported by individual human votes vs huge money.
The foreign interactions between the USA (under the Obama administration) and the Saudis has resulted in the creation of Isis, the maltreatment of Iran, the war in Syria, and of course 9-11. Read the total entanglement of the United States in creating the problems in the middle East and the endless wars.
