The Democratic Party, once the champion of women, children,
working people, middle class and the elderly now has abandoned the very values
that differentiated Democrats from Republicans. The two parties have morphed
into a Fascist monolithic behemoth.
According to Vice President Henry Wallace’s “The Danger of AmericanFascism,”
Excerpt:
The American fascist would prefer not to use violence. His
method is to poison the channels of public information. With a fascist the
problem is never how best to present the truth to the public but how best to
use the news to deceive the public into giving the fascist and his group more
money or more power….
Most American fascists are
enthusiastically supporting the war effort. They are doing this even in those cases where they hope to have
profitable connections with German chemical firms after the war ends. They are patriotic in time of war because
it is to their interest to be so, but in time of peace they follow power
and the dollar wherever they may lead…
They demand free enterprise, but
are the spokesmen for monopoly
and vested interest. Their final
objective toward which all their deceit is directed is to capture
political power so that, using the power of the state and the power of the
market simultaneously, they may keep the common man in eternal subjection.
The Republican Party has declared war on Donald Trump to
destroy his Presidential ambitions. Today C-Span dedicated its 3 hour
Washington Journal program to "political correctness." What's
interesting about that is C-Span has been taken over by Right Wing Think tanks,
many funded by the Koch Brothers like the Cato Institute as well as American
Enterprise Institute, Heritage Foundation, The Federalist Society, etc. who support
establishment candidates with millions of dollars. From Mint Press:
Excerpt:
Jewish Republicans Line Up Against Donald Trump
At a recent board meeting of the Republican Jewish Coalition, the big donors
and high-powered operatives in the room went around the table to make sure
they had someone supporting each potential Republican nominee.
Jeb Bush backers were easy to find. Supporters of Marco Rubio, too,
were plentiful. Ted Cruz had friends there, as did Scott Walker, and even
George Pataki and Lindsey Graham. The Republican Jewish elite have spread
themselves wide across the GOP firmament.
Yet Donald Trump, who has topped 20% to lead all other Republicans in
recent presidential primary polls, and who also leads the pack in both Iowa and
New Hampshire, is a different story…
What is clear is that, despite his surge in the polls, the
anti-immigration hard-liner has
strikingly little support among prominent Republican Jewish donors, activists
and consultants.
Many Republican Jewish leaders
remain unwilling to speak about Trump. The RJC’s spokesman did not respond to a
request to speak for this story; neither did former Republican National
Committee chair Ken Mehlman, who is a member of the RJC’s board; former George
W. Bush spokesman Ari Fleischer, also an RJC board member, or former Republican
House majority leader Eric Cantor, who has been close to the group.
After the overthrow of the American government December 12,
2000 in which those prominent RJC members played a huge role, the two parties rigged
the Primary process to ensure the candidates preselected by the DNC and RNC are
the candidates.
In the 2008 Democratic primary election the will of the
voters was nullified by the “super delegates.”
According to the ballots cast in the 2008 primary where voters actually
went into a voting booth and cast a ballot, Hillary Clinton was leading the DNC’s
preselected candidate Barack Obama. FromThe Caucus:
Excerpt:
Democratic Leaders Lean on Superdelegates
WASHINGTON – Hoping to bring the
Democratic presidential nomination fight to an end, party leaders are
intensifying their efforts to encourage remaining uncommitted superdelegates to
make their choice public by the middle of next week.
In an interview Thursday on a San
Francisco talk radio station, Senator Harry Reid of Nevada, the majority
leader, said he had spoken with Speaker Nancy Pelosi earlier in the day, and they had agreed to take steps to avoid a
contest that extends into the convention in August…
Both Ms. Pelosi and Mr. Reid have
remained publicly neutral… the two top lawmakers are evidently ready to
exercise their influence with the approximately 200 members of Congress and the party elite who have yet to make
their preference known publicly. Party officials say both Mr. Reid and Ms. Pelosi are also calling uncommitted
superdelegates to press them for a resolution.
And how did Pelosi and Reid ensure the votes cast by the
American people in the primaries did not select the Democratic candidate? From The Caucus:
Excerpt:
7:45 p.m. | Rules Wrap Up: After a
nearly 10-hour marathon meeting of the Democratic party’s rules committee,
Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton came away with a total of 24 more pledged
delegates, but today’s decisions on the seating of Florida and Michigan
delegates fell far short of what her campaign had hoped.
In a blow to Mrs. Clinton’s candidacy, the committee voted to
restore the delegations of both Florida and Michigan at the party’s nominating
convention, but gave each delegate only
half a vote…
Minutes after the meeting ended, Mr. Ickes and another Clinton backer
on the committee, Tina Flournoy… continued to register their strong
objection to what they called the committee’s decision “to undercut its own
rules in seating Michigan’s delegates
without reflecting the votes of the people of Michigan.” They wrote:
The Committee awarded to Senator Obama not only the delegates won by
Uncommitted, but four of the delegates won by Senator Clinton. This
decision violates the bedrock principles of our democracy and our party.
We reserve the right to challenge this decision before the
Credentials Committee and appeal for a
fair allocation of Michigan’s delegates that actually reflect the votes as they
were cast.
Given that history, I found this August 2015 article in Bloomberg very disturbing. Remember this was
written by Mark Halperin who along with John Heilemann wrote “Game Change” a
propaganda piece that was made into an HBO movie about the 2008 election.
Excerpt:
Clinton's Superdelegate Tipping Point
Mark Halperin and Jennifer Epstein,
at Bloomberg Politics, report that Hillary Clinton’s campaign is claiming
commitments from as many as 440 superdelegates, perhaps giving her an
insurmountable lead in the race for the approximately 2,250 delegates needed to
win the Democratic nomination.
There is both more and less to this
story.
For starters, superdelegates are formally unpledged delegates to the Democratic
National Convention who are chosen by
position, not through votes in primaries and caucuses. The two big groups
are elected officials (members of Congress, governors) and party officials.
Superdelegates were added in the
1980s … Democrats were concerned that their new system didn’t place enough
weight on electability, and believed
a larger voice for politicians and formal party leaders would tilt the
nomination in that direction.
In
the event, the “supers” have never tilted the nomination; they always line up with the candidate who
won the most delegates in the caucuses and primaries. That’s essentially
what happened in 2008: Clinton had an early lead in superdelegates, but as Barack Obama started winning caucuses
and primaries, he wound up picking up
almost all the undecided supers and even some defectors from Clinton…
So basically it is the super delegates that choose the
President of the United States. Since
Barack Obama was elected President, he has advanced the Republican agenda that
no Republican could ever get passed. And
now, Hillary Clinton is defending the horrific Obama record and her base is
fleeing to the only candidate that espouses their values, Donald Trump. No one explains this better than Big Pink at Hillary is 44:
Excerpt:
Deathblows: #Trump2016 Versus #Hillary2016 On #ObamaCare, #ISIS,
Immigration, Muslim Terrorists And The White Working Class
The second debate was a catastrophe
for Hillary2016. In the wake of the Muslim Terrorist attack against the West in
the city of light it was to be expected that Hillary Clinton would turn the
events to her advantage but instead she immolated herself on issue after issue
in order to protect Barack Obama…
In the second debate Hillary Clinton
went out of her way to praise ObamaCare….
We now have this great
accomplishment known as the Affordable Care Act. And– I don’t think we should
have to be defending it amount [sic] Democrats. We ought to be working to
improve it and prevent Republicans from both undermining it and even repealing
it. [snip]
I– I think– I think as Democrats,
we ought to proudly support the Affordable Care Act, improve it, and make it
the model that we know it can be–….
Why in Heaven, Earth, or Hell,
Hillary Clinton defends ObamaCare even the Almighty cannot explain.
Today, Bombshell: United Healthcare
may exit individual insurance exchanges after 2016. Yes, that is the latest
news from the ObamaCare that Hillary Clinton so defends:
Insurance giant UnitedHealth Group
dealt a blow to the Affordable Care Act on Thursday when it warned that it may
stop offering insurance plans to individuals through public exchanges
established by the reform law….
More than half of the 23 non-profit
insurance co-ops established under the ACA are shuttering by the end of this
year, but UnitedHealth is the largest single insurance carrier in the U.S.
United’s comments about the health of exchange-plan holders also runs counter
to what was expected….
We wrote about this death spiral to
ObamaCare back in 2009. It was easy to see. But Hillary Clinton continues to
defend ObamaCare. We also warned repeatedly that deductibles were too damn high
and made ObamaCare a killer. On the same day as the second debate, the New York
Times published the truth about ObamaCare deductibles which Hillary either did
not see or chose to ignore:
Many Say High Deductibles Make Their Health Law Insurance All but
Useless [snip]
“The deductible, $3,000 a year, makes it impossible to actually go to
the doctor,” said David R. Reines, 60, of Jefferson Township, N.J., a
former hardware salesman with chronic knee pain. “We have insurance, but can’t afford to use it.” [snip]
In many states, more than half the plans offered for sale through
HealthCare.gov, the federal online marketplace, have a deductible of $3,000 or more, a New York Times review has
found. Those deductibles are causing concern among Democrats — and some Republican detractors of the health
law, who once pushed high-deductible
health plans in the belief that consumers would be more cost-conscious if
they had more of a financial stake or skin in the game.
“We could not afford the
deductible,” said Kevin Fanning, 59, who lives in North Texas, near Wichita
Falls. “Basically I was paying for
insurance I could not afford to use.”
He dropped his policy. [snip]
“Our deductible is so high, we practically pay for all of our medical
expenses out of pocket,” said Wendy Kaplan, 50, of Evanston, Ill. “So our
policy is really there for emergencies only, and basic wellness appointments.”
Her family of four pays premiums of $1,200 a month for coverage with an
annual deductible of $12,700.
In Miami, the median deductible, according to HealthCare.gov, is $5,000.
(Half of the plans are above the median, and half below it.) In Jackson, Miss., the comparable figure is
$5,500. In Chicago, the median deductible is $3,400. In Phoenix, it is $4,000;
in Houston and Des Moines, $3,000. [snip]
Mr. Fanning, the North Texan, said he and his wife had a policy with a
monthly premium of about $500 and an annual deductible of about $10,000
after taking account of financial assistance. Their income is about $32,000 a year.
The Fannings dropped the policy in
July after he had a one-night hospital stay and she had tests for kidney
problems, and the bills started to roll in.
Josie Gibb of Albuquerque pays about $400 a month in premiums, after
subsidies, for a silver-level insurance plan with a deductible of $6,000.
“The deductible,” she said, “is so high that I have to pay for everything all
year — visits with a gynecologist, a dermatologist, all blood work, all tests.
It’s really just a catastrophic policy.”
Hillary Clinton defends this scam?
You pay your premiums then you pay the deductibles and by then the insurance
companies have done well but you haven’t. Only if you are very sick and squeeze
the system dry is ObamaCare of any use to anyone. And Hillary Clinton defends
what by any definition is a scam…?
“This will be an issue at least one
more time in the 2016 election. It could absolutely still hurt Democrats,” said
Robert Blendon, a professor of health policy and political analysis at the
Harvard School of Public Health. “Polls
about the Affordable Care Act have a considerable amount of middle-income
people who say either the program has done nothing for them or actually hurt
them.”
Repeatedly the concerns cited by
Americans quoted at the New York Times and the Boston Globe is that their
insurance is not only worthless, but a drain on them. ObamaCare is a scam that takes money by force of law and delivers
nothing but bills. Hillary Clinton defends and supports this???
Donald J. Trump promises to burn
ObamaCare to the ground.
Big Pink is right, the people most hurt by the Affordable
Care Act and all of Obama’s policies have been the middle class, working
people, military families, elderly and the list goes on. More from Big Pink:
Please notice that the
predominately white, working class and the middle classes are the ones hurt by
ObamaCare. It is also the white working class that is disgusted by Barack
Obama’s pro Muslim Terrorist policies. Policies which Hillary2016 adopts like a
dog picks up fleas.
In October we noted that Donald Trump was walking away with the Clinton
Coalition. Hillary2016, like Barack Obama has orphaned the winning Clinton
Coalition. The Wall Street Journal confirms the flight of the white working
class to Donald J. Trump:
Trump Rides a Blue-Collar Wave
Fifty-five percent of his supporters are white working-class.
The biggest surprise of the
presidential election so far is the emergence and persistent strength of Donald
Trump. [snip]
Among Republicans and Republican-leaning independents, 39% of the white
working class backs Mr. Trump, twice his share of white college-educated
voters. Fifty-five percent of his supporters are white working class…
So the Fascist monolith that is the amalgam of the two-party
system has pulled out all the stops to stop Trump. Every attack against Trump has not only
failed but has made his coalition stronger.
But the media thinks they have found a winner, the magic elixir to once
and for all convince the American people they must abandon Trump, only the
establishment can save them from themselves.
CNN is leading the charge against Donald Trump and other
news outlets are jumping on the bandwagon reporting that Trump mocked a
handicapped reporter.
From The Guardian:
Excerpt:
New York Times slams 'outrageous' Donald Trump for mocking reporter's
disability
The New York Times has criticised
Donald Trump as “outrageous” after the Republican presidential front-runner
mocked one of its reporters and appeared to imitate his disability.
In a speech to supporters on
Tuesday night, Trump derided Serge Kovaleski – a reporter for the newspaper who
has disputed Trump’s claim that “thousands” of Muslims in New Jersey celebrated
the 9/11 attacks – while flailing and twisting his arms.
Kovaleski has arthrogryposis, a
congenital condition that affects joint movement.
In 2001, he was a journalist at the
Washington Post and one of the authors of a report cited by Trump in defence of
his 9/11 claim. (The Washington Post has since added a disclaimer to the
report, distancing it from the claims.)
And yet in 2006 Rush Limbaugh, whose show has right wing
sponsors like the Heritage Foundation, mocked Michael J. Fox’s disability on
the air and he was defended by a lot of the same “news” outlets piling on
Trump, like Rupert Murdoch’s Fox News.
One thing that all the news outlet have failed to report on
is the fact that there was footage of people in New Jersey cheering as the twin
towers came down, but they were not Muslims as Trump has cited. From Black Agenda Report:
Excerpt:
A Black Agenda Radio commentary by
executive editor Glen Ford
Israelis – Not Muslims – Cheered in Jersey City on 9/11
In debunking Donald Trump’s big lie
about Jersey City Muslims celebrating the destruction of the World Trade
Center, the corporate media have told an even bigger lie of omission. There was, indeed, shameless cheering on
the banks of the Hudson River on 9/11. But it was by young Israelis, as was
widely reported at the time. Fourteen years later, corporate media are
covering up for Israel – which makes them even bigger liars than Trump.
“By making only a partial correction of Donald
Trump’s prevarication, the corporate
media were telling their own lie about what happened on 9/11.”
The corporate media don’t like Donald Trump. They used to like him
a lot; in fact, Big Business Media are responsible for making this minor
multi-millionaire into a household name. But
Trump is on their hit list, nowadays, because the Republican presidential
candidate insists on telling his own
lies, rather than sticking to the list of official lies parroted by corporate
media every minute of every day.
Donald Trump told a really “HUGE” –
as he would put it – lie when he claimed to have watched thousands of Muslims
cheering in Jersey City, New Jersey, as the World Trade Center came down on
9/11. Every corporate news outlet in the
country rushed to debunk Trump’s fictitious account. The Washington Post offered psychological
theories for why Trump gets away with telling fantastic lies. The New York Times said there was no
evidence that Jersey City Muslims cheered the destruction on 9/11. CNN said it never happened. And, they
were right.
However, by making only a partial
correction of Donald Trump’s prevarication, the corporate media were telling
their own lie about what happened on 9/11. There
was, in fact, celebration in Jersey City on that fateful morning, and the
incident did, briefly, make a major news splash. But the people doing the
cheering weren’t Muslims: they were five
young Israelis in a white moving van, who were observed in Liberty Park
ecstatically taking pictures of themselves framed against the smoking ruins of
the Twin Towers.
As ABC News reported, the five were
later arrested at gunpoint near the New Jersey Giants football stadium. Most
U.S. intelligence sources believed the men were Israeli spies, and that their
“moving company” was an Israeli intelligence cover. They were detained for a
while, and then deported.
…Israelis celebrating 9/11 would
have come up in any search to correct Donald Trump’s tall tale – but the
corporate media kept that part of the story from the public. They censored their own correction of
Donald Trump. So, who is the biggest liar? Trump, who lies to advance his
own personal interests, or the U.S.
corporate media, who lie to the people on behalf of the State of Israel, and
Zionism.
Hmm, interesting isn’t it.
The media is lying to cover up the fact that Israeli’s were the ones
cheering as the Twin Towers came down not Muslims as Trump has claimed and now
the media is piling on Trump to destroy him.
And this comes just after the Mint Press reported that Jewish
Republicans have conspired to destroy Trump.
Is it any wonder that the White Middle Class are abandoning
Hillary Clinton for Donald Trump? Trump
should dump the RNC and run as an independent, I have just the perfect campaign
song for him.
