Then said I, Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts.

Isaiah 6:5:

Oh, truer words were never spoken.  The Democratic Party has come undone for they dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips.  The Republican Party has come undone for they dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips.  What is left you may ask.  The people of the world that are living on a planet that has been thrown off its axis of evil and now we must rebuild the world left in shambles by the godless handmaidens of the oligarchs.

Donald Trump has not even assumed the office of the Presidency and the two parties, gasping in their death throes are demanding that Trump have their blessing, nay their permission to form a cabinet that will govern the world for the next four years.  The two parties, deaf to the roar of the masses around them, are informing their constituents that the same failed leadership will return to their respective parties, i.e. Senate Majority Leader, Mitch McConnell, Speaker of the House Paul Ryan, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi. 

Are they serious?  What is wrong with those people?  Get out, we don’t want you!  As these miserable failures are returned to their leadership posts they are launching an all-out media blitz against Donald Trump and his choices for his team, particularly Steve Bannon.

Neocon vs. Neocon and the war against Steve Bannon, Trump’s Chief Strategist

Woe is me, according to the billionaire owned media Steve Bannon is the anti-Christ.  Steve Bannon was editor of Breitbart, the right wing publication that dared to criticize the editor of the Weekly Standard and son of founding member of the Project for a New American Century, Irving Kristol.  Oh woe is me.  Now the clarion calls for Trump to dump Bannon as his chief strategist are beginning to blare.  But what is the truth?  According to Heavy.com:

Excerpt:

Trump’s campaign manager, Kellyanne Conway, defended Bannon, saying he was a former Naval officer with a Harvard business degree, The New York Times said…

Breitbart Ran a Headline Referring to a Commentator as a ‘Renegade Jew’

According to CNN, the article ran in May 2016 and contained a headline that referred to conservative pundit Bill Kristol as a “renegade Jew.”

On November 14, David Horowitz, who wrote that article, attempted to defend it on the Breitbart site, saying, “In fact, neither Breitbart nor Bannon is responsible for that statement…

Horowitz said he wrote the article after Kristol became a Never Trumper, saying, “Bill Kristol and his friends betrayed the Republican Party, betrayed the American people, and betrayed the Jews when he set out to undermine Trump and elect the criminal Hillary Clinton. Obama and Hillary are supporters of the Muslim Brotherhood…”

My, my.  Seems to me more like a neocon vs. neocon spat rather than a real threat to America’s future.  Me thinks the GOP aversion to Bannon has more to do with his criticism of the GOP’s neocon, Zionist Sunday morning talk show panelist and imperialist apologist than any “alt-right” objection.   According to Dr. Paul Craig Roberts, evidence is building that left-wing billionaire George Soros is behind the destabilization caused by anti-Trump “protests” across America.

Excerpt:

A reader writes that Soros “is involved in destabilizing and overthrowing democratically elected governments all over the world. He is not just a political and social threat to Russia and Ukraine, but evidently now to the USA and Western Europe, where he has been behind the mass influx of immigrants to destabilise those countries as well.

“It is clear that Trump and Putin have a lot of threats in common to deal with. The shadow government is currently rattled, but will strike back soon. After the recent violent events, Trump should join the Russian government and also call for the immediate arrest of Soros for his treasonous activities and confiscate all his assets in the West, appoint special prosecutors to deal with the neocon war criminals and break up the bought and paid for press and media monopolies that are the corrupt and mendacious whores of the oligarchy.

Furthermore, he should also shut down the oligarchs’ Fed and create a national bank to issue debt- and interest-free US money to fund infrastructure and the rebuilding of the US economy. That would critically weaken the opposition and strengthen his position in dealing with the shadow government. “These forces will be eternal enemies not just of him, but of the Western people. They represent a cancer that is killing the host. Not reconciliation, but deep and thorough cleaning is required to rout out this den of vipers.”

My, my, my. woe is me.  George Soros who has been able to run wild, overthrowing elected governments with the blessing and protection of the Democratic leadership is now a wanted man.  Putin has actually issued a warrant for his arrest.  From US Defense Watch:

Excerpt:

Russia has officially declared that Billionaire George Soros is a wanted man in their country, citing him and his organizations as a “threat to Russian national security”.

Putin banned Soros from Russia last year due to the fact that Soros helped to nearly destroy the Russian economy in the early 1990’s.  Matt Taibbi of the Rolling Stone said of Goldman Sachs six years ago:

“The first thing you need to know about Goldman Sachs is that it’s everywhere. The world’s most powerful investment bank is a great vampire squid wrapped around the face of humanity, relentlessly jamming its blood funnel into anything that smells like money.  “In fact, the history of the recent financial crisis, which doubles as a history of the rapid decline and fall of the suddenly swindled dry American empire, reads like a Who’s Who of Goldman Sachs graduates.”

Obviously Soros wants to be like Goldman Sachs. Phil Butler puts it well when he says: “George Soros has a finger in every political pie there is. If there is a crisis on our world, it’s a safe bet he’s had a hand in it…”  Their strategy is a little different, but the end result is the destruction of lives via the economic system (be it capitalism or socialism) and political manipulation.

That’s why Soros seems to think that he is invincible. He thinks he can move the political and economic planet in a few blinks of an eye and no one can tell him to stop… Soros thinks he can kill political stability throughout Europe and indeed in America with no challenge…  His organization has recently been caught conducting covert operations designed to destabilize Russia.

Here is an interesting quote from the leaked files of Soros’ Open Society Foundation:

“Our inclination is to engage in activities and with actors that will understand and counter Russian support to movements defending traditional values…Naming and shaming from us is problematic: we are also in the business of channeling money into other countries for political purposes.”

Yes, that is what Donald Trump is up against in the United States as he forms his government.  Kind of makes me look at Steve Bannon as a wise choice for Donald Trump’s new administration.  Pretty wise indeed, and as George Soros and Bill Kristol call on their bought and paid for GOP and DNC leadership to kill any Trump nomination.  But the politicians have no control over the people who will have Trump’s ear for the next four years.  They need no confirmation from our corrupt politicians.

Oh woe is me, the best laid plans of mice and men, but these are not mice they are rats and these are not men, they are traitors against America.  Soros and Kristol must be shaking in their boots over a Trump Administration, especially since their sixteen year plan to destroy America and Russia has now been upended.  From Washington Post:

Excerpt:

Trump, Putin agree in phone call to improve ‘unsatisfactory’ relations between their countries, Kremlin says

President-elect Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin agreed in a telephone conversation Monday that relations between their countries were “unsatisfactory” and vowed to work together to improve them, the Kremlin said in a statement.  The statement said the two leaders discussed combining efforts in the fight against terrorism, talked about “a settlement for the crisis in Syria” and agreed their aides would begin working toward a face-to-face meeting between them.

Trump’s office said in a statement that Putin had called to “offer his congratulations” and that the two had discussed “a range of issues including the threats and challenges facing the United States and Russia, strategic economic issues and the historical U.S.-Russia relationship that dates back over 200 years.”  Although Trump’s statement did not mention Syria or other specific issues, it said that he told Putin “that he is very much looking forward to having a strong and enduring relationship with Russia and the People of Russia.”

The call came as Trump faced a growing backlash against his decision to name campaign chairman and former Breitbart News head Stephen K. Bannon as chief strategist at the White House, a choice CRITICS SAY will empower white nationalists…

Trump appeared to absolve Russia from responsibility for intervention in Ukraine and annexation of Crimea, and questioned the relevance of NATO, which has charged Moscow with engaging in provocative air and sea actions on the alliance’s eastern flank.

Giving Putin a free pass on those issues IS DIRECTLY COUNTER TO THE RUSSIA POLICY OF THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION, which has, among other things, called for an international war crimes investigation of Russia’s actions in Syria. It could also undermine current European negotiations with Moscow over Ukraine, and support for U.S. and European Union sanctions.

Oh, my, my, my.  Woe is me, the Trump Administration’s Russia policy in “directly counter to the Russia policy of the Obama Administration;” the administration that takes its walking orders from George Soros.  No wonder Soros is behind the anti-Trump demonstrations in America, it is in his financial and global interests to do so.  With a pliant billionaire owned media, those protests are magnified to seem as though they are more potent than they are in reality.  From Zero Hedge:

Anti-Trump Protests: Proof Of Professional Activist Involvement 

In a story from November 12, USA Today writes an article to discredit the idea that the professional activist community is involved with organizing anti-Trump protests. They invite you to meet the protesters. USA today presents them as ordinary people. However, WikiLeaks exposes them as experienced protest organizers and activists.

Ha, ha ha.  This should be good, go on….

USA Today presents the protests as spontaneous, involving people from “all walks of life” – certainly not professional protesters. If anyone in the crowd has protest experience, it hasn’t been since the Vietnam Era:

They come in all ages and walks of life, unflinching and determined to be heard.

Mothers with young children, hoping to impart an up-close lesson in history. Animated college students stretching their political vocal cords for the first time. Aging Baby Boomers who haven't toted a protest sign since their anti-war days in the 1970s.

So should we expect that everyone quoted in that article is there out of spontaneous concern? Would a reputable newspaper properly identify its sources, noting if they were known activists and organizers? Let’s meet USA Today’s first protester:

Yong Jung Cho, 26, who organized a candlelight vigil in front of the White House on Wednesday night, said about 2,000 people showed up… USA Today presents Yong Jung Cho without any introduction. Is she an average citizen, or an experienced protest coordinator? In a February 2016 email from the Podesta files, Yong Jung Cho is described as “350 Action Campaign Coordinator”…

So USA Today’s first person from “all walks of life” is an organizer who has experience on the activist circuit, and in that capacity she worked on the presidential primary. Not exactly the “spontaneous concern” presented by the newspaper.

How about another source, someone that USA Today introduces by more than just a name? Here’s Phil Roeder, a public school official with no disclosed interest except the welfare of his students:

"The majority of students at Des Moines Public Schools are students of color," Phil Roeder, the district's director of communications and public affairs, said in a statement earlier this week. "The rhetoric of this past election has caused many concerns and divisions among them, their friends and their families. The school district will not stand in the way of our students peacefully expressing their concerns."

So: Phil Roeder, concerned public servant without a partisan agenda, or veteran Democratic activist? Once again, WikiLeaks can shed some light on that question.

In the same 2014 email from the Podesta collection, we find that many of the activists in the Iowa organization had private meetings with Obama and Clinton, and that Phil Roeder was prominent in the group…

Phil Roeder is well-enough connected in Democratic circles that he merits more than one mention in WikiLeaks. In May 2015 in the Podesta emails – some years after Roeder became a prominent political organizer in Iowa…   So the Iowa Daily Democrat recognizes Phil Roeder as a Democratic strategist, but somehow USA Today didn’t…

My, my, my.  Woe is me for I am undone, because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips.  Donald Trump was elected president by the people of America and whomever he desires to be in his cabinet and for his closest of confidants is his right as well as responsibility.  The two major parties have come undone, they are of unclean lips and dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips.  America, she’s come undone and needs our elected President, Donald Trump to put her back together.  President Trump, make America great again.

Deliver us from evil: Obama and DNC’s betrayal of the American people elected Trump

The people don't want a phony Democrat. If it's a choice between a genuine Republican, and a Republican in Democratic clothing, the people will choose the genuine article, every time; that is, they will take a Republican before they will a phony Democrat,

~Harry Truman, May 17th, 1952

The DNC never learns.  The DNC under Howard Dean’s leadership abandoned Hillary Clinton and the Democratic base of white working people in favor of a “new kind of Democrat” called the Obama coalition.  Ted Kennedy, Chuck Schumer and Joe Biden headed up the new Democratic coalition that consisted of courting millennials and black Americans while labeling Hillary and Bill Clinton and their supporters “racists.”

During the 2008 primary, the Democratic Party was hijacked and white working people were banished and left by the wayside.  Candidate Barack Obama, the Illinois Senator who was famous for avoiding any votes in the State legislature by voting “present” and having an unremarkable half term in the U.S. Senate was chosen by the Democratic elite as their candidate.  During Obama’s first interview he took the opportunity to slam President Clinton as an ineffective president, while lavishing effusive praise on his hero, President Ronald Reagan. 

In 2008 Obama marveled at how Reagan had changed the trajectory of the nation and alluded to an Obama Administration that would continue on the trajectory set by Reagan.  Oh, and how Reagan changed the trajectory of America.  From Dr. Mercola:

Excerpt:

In 1970, following a series of environmental calamities, 20 million Americans — 10 percent of the U.S. population — took to the streets on Earth Day, demanding an end to environmental pollution. It was the largest public demonstration in American history. And it worked.  The sheer enormity of the outrage forced President Nixon to address the problem head-on.

As a result, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) was created. The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, which later became the Clean Water Act, was enacted to empower the EPA to go after major polluters.  The Act included strict pollution limits and penalties for those who violated them, and called for waterways to be fishable and swimmable again by July 1, 1983. The EPA initially made significant headway, suing several major polluters and banning DDT, for example.

Unfortunately, a decade later, the Reagan administration’s deregulation agenda gutted the EPA, effectively stopping it in its tracks…   Today, it seems both public and political will to take strong, affirmative action to protect the environment has been lost, and the pollution flowing from industrial agriculture and elsewhere is essentially and largely unregulated.

So let’s take a look at the accomplishments of the Republican-lite DNC’s President Barack Obama.  From Counter Punch:

Excerpt:

President Barack Obama’s Crappy Legacy by DAVE LINDORFF

Barack Obama came into the White House on a wave of passionate new voters, many of them black or young and white, becoming the nation’s first black president and promising a new era of “hope and change.”  Eight years later, as he is preparing to exit the White House, he leaves behind considerable wreckage, disappointment and a legacy of death and destruction, plenty of it physical, but also much of it in the legislative and political arena.

He did give us, over the last eight years, a lot of change, but not much hope, and most of the change has been negative.  Let’s just run through at least some of the list:

* One of candidate Obama’s big selling points in 2008 was that he promised to end the Bush/Cheney administration’s disastrous war in Iraq, to close the horrific torture site and prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba …  Eight years later …  US forces being added even as our Nobel Peace Laureate president prepares to leave office. Guantanamo remains open and stocked with prisoners many of them known to have been wrongly accused of terrorism, as the president has proved too gutless to do the right thing and just shut the place down, or order the captives released… 

Meanwhile, torture continues, the president has expanded and formalized a system of state-sanctioned and directed murder, even of US citizens abroad, and surveillance of Americans has reached appalling levels not even imagined by science fiction writers like George Orwell a generation or more ago...

* Race relations in the US, and the economic condition of people of color in America, have only deteriorated during President Obama’s two terms… racial profiling and the killing of unarmed blacks, including children, by mostly white police officers has become epidemic… along with a general militarization of police (encouraged by his administration’s offer of free military surplus war armaments) to the point that it’s hard to distinguish them from an army of occupation across the land…

* The prison system has continued to expand, with perhaps some of the worst conditions of all in Supermax prisons run by the federal government (under the direct control of the president), where all inmates are held in conditions of solitary confinement that the civilized world considers to be a form of torture…

* A once-in-a-generation opportunity to finally scuttle this country’s outrageous and uniquely expensive and class-based for-profit health care system in favor of some kind of government run “single-payer” national system such as, again, the rest of the civilized nations of the world have adopted at much lower cost and with far better access and outcomes, was squandered by this president…

* Climate disaster, which candidate Obama warned was the biggest crisis facing America and the world, has been allowed to worsen almost unimpeded. The president refused to make it his number one issue… instead pursued his wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria, Somalia and elsewhere and his drone killing campaigns elsewhere in places like Pakistan and Yemen, and as he promoted a gratuitously confrontational foreign policy towards both Russia and China as advocated by the neo-con advisors he appointed to key positions in his administration, including as Secretary of Defense.

* Particularly where it comes to energy, the president not only did nothing significant to reduce carbon emissions in the US…  He continues to back the construction of pipelines that only encourage more exploitation of heavy carbon-producing “dirty” oil from places like North Dakota and Canada’s tar sands.

And now on his way out of office Obama is now betraying the Native American water protectors and plans to approve the Dakota Access Pipeline.

* Nuclear war, which the president as candidate promised to make less likely, has become more likely… than any time since the Cuban Missile Crisis. This is in large part because this president has pushed an aggressive program… of undermining the elected government of Ukraine only to replace it with a coup government run by anti-Russian fascists…

* The president campaigned with tremendous labor movement support…    American workers have continued to have to battle to survive during the president’s two terms under a National Labor Relations Act that is stacked against them.

* Beginning in 2010, the president…   ran conservative Democratic candidates against … more radical and progressive candidates seeking office in Democratic Party primaries. The result of this backstabbing of progressive candidates… leading to Republican takeover of both House and Senate — a grim situation that will now be difficult to undo.

* In the area of education, the president has actively encouraged… privatization of public school systems at the expense of public schools…      shifted public tax money from poor schools to selective privately run schools, where much of it ends up being siphoned off to high-salaried executives and the shareholders of for-profit management companies running the charters…  At the level of higher education, the president had the government take over as lender to students… although such loans do not even allow default, they continue to be offered at extortionate interest rates, leaving graduates as essentially indentured servants for life.

* In the area of open and law-abiding government, candidate Obama promised a new era of open government. That was probably his biggest whopper. By all accounts, his has been the most secretive government in history, with the most prosecutions of whistleblowers… his hounding of such courageous exposers of government wrongdoing as Wikileaks founder Julian Assange, NSA critic Edward Snowden, and war-crimes exposer Chelsea Manning, and his G W Bush-like fondness for executive orders.

* Finally, Obama failed abysmally on the economy, in large part because just as with the criminals of the Bush/Cheney administration whom he declined to prosecute for their clearly illegal and unconstitutional crimes of torture, aggressive war-making and illegal surveillance on Americans, he decided to bar the Justice Department from prosecuting the criminal bankers...  That decision was a disaster that still haunts the USA today, where some 20 percent of the workforce remains unemployed or unwillingly working less than full-time, often at a fraction of the wages they were earning before 2008.

In spite of the horrendously disastrous record of Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton decided to abandon the white working Americans who stood by her in 2008 in order to attract the “Obama coalition.”  That was a big mistake, her fate was sealed when she decided to defend the indefensible record of Obama.  Is it any wonder that the Democratic base fled the party and joined the ranks of Donald Trump and his “make America great again” campaign? 

Trump’s message of fighting for all Americans, extracting us from these wars for profit and dumping the class based, Wall Street profit driven healthcare system resonated with the people.  The Democratic Party is dead, the Republican Party is on notice, support the Trump agenda or you are fired.

Harry Truman faced the same phony Democratic Party in the 1950’s and he was absolutely right when he said “The people don't want a phony Democrat. If it's a choice between a genuine Republican, and a Republican in Democratic clothing, the people will choose the genuine article, every time; that is, they will take a Republican before they will a phony Democrat.”  Trump is a Teddy Roosevelt Republican and that is a good thing.  The world is ready for a new day, and it is here, Donald Trump will make America great again.

America joins Brexit and takes the off ramp from the Bush/Obama fascism freeway

The nightmare that began December 12^th, 2000 when the American government was overthrown by rightwing Zealots hell bent on a New World Order of endless war is now over.  America has joined the UK to forge a new era of power to the people.  The global banking cartels who engorged themselves on the largess of nations will now be put to heel.  Let the healing begin.  The FBI, CIA and Pentagon who have usurped the power of the Executive Branch and have been running rogue agencies answerable to no one will no longer have free reign with unlimited access to America’s treasury.

Draining the swamp

That great sucking sound you hear is the plug being pulled and the swamp being drained.  Who won last night?  The American people and the people of the world.  Who lost last night?  The Democratic and Republican elite, who have benefited from the decimation of America over the last sixteen years.  It is time to clear the decks and start from scratch under a Donald Trump Administration.  No holdovers.

Drain the FBI swamp of political hacks

The FBI, the great domestic surveillance agency and protector of the American people has been infiltrated with political hacks bent on destroying America.  There’s a saying, one bad apple spoils the barrel.  The FBI has not been spoiled by a bad apple at the bottom, but has been spoiled by a rotten layer at the top.  It is time to skim the scum off the top and allow the career agents comprised of attorneys and forensic accountants to take over to protect America from enemies foreign and domestic.

The reign of James Comey has been marked with the stupidity and clumsiness that comes when the top is filled with political hacks who are more interested in destroying political enemies than protecting the American people.  Comey’s defiance of his superiors at Justice and his Don Quixotic crusade against Hillary Clinton along with his GOP vigilante cheerleaders have tarnished the agency.  From Politicus: 

Excerpt:

DOJ Complaint Filed Against FBI Director James Comey For Interfering In Presidential Election

A complaint has been filed against FBI Director James Comey with Department of Justice Office of Professional Responsibility that accuses him of interfering in a presidential election.

The Democratic Coalition Against Trump filed a complaint with the Department of Justice Office of Professional Responsibility on Friday against FBI Director James Comey for interfering in the Presidential election, following the FBI’s decision to open up an investigation into Secretary Clinton’s emails this close to Election Day. Federal employees are forbidden from participating in political activities under the Hatch Act….

“It is an obvious attack from a lifelong Republican who used to serve in the Bush White House, just to undermine her campaign…  Director Comey’s motives for sending the letter 11 days before a presidential election have been questioned by both Republicans and Democrats.

Hopefully a Trump Administration will put America first and advance an America-first hierarchy at the FBI to replace the current failed leadership.  It is time for the FBI to concentrate on preventing terror attacks in America rather than investigating political enemies. 

Drain the Pentagon and CIA swamps of right wing political hacks

The CIA and Pentagon has been jam packed with neocons under the Bush Administration who have been overthrowing elected governments across the globe and threaten World War III.  These Zionist controlled lunatics who now serve in the Obama/Biden Administration recognize no restraints within the American Government.  From Consortium News:

Excerpt:

New Cold War Spins Out of Control

U.S. enthusiasts for the New Cold War with Russia appear to be ignoring less-belligerent orders from President Obama and pushing for a dangerous escalation of tensions, reports ex-British diplomat Alastair Crooke… 

In the aftermath of the U.S. attack on the Syrian army positions overlooking and commanding the Dier A-Zor airfield – the airfield, whose daily “Berlin air-bridge” style flights, are the sole lifeline to a city long besieged by ISIS – the Russian U.N. Ambassador asked a pertinent rhetorical question at the United Nations Security Council: Who is running U.S. policy: Is it the Pentagon or the White House?

There was no official response, of course, but one was not necessary: the New York Times editorial board gave us the answer in its verdict of Sept. 15:  Praising the U.S. Secretary of State for his energetic, but “quixotic” diplomacy, the “Board” wrote:

“The [Syria ceasefire] agreement also has powerful critics inside the Obama administration, including Defense Secretary Ashton Carter. On Tuesday, Pentagon officials refused to say whether they would comply with their part of the deal, which calls on the United States to share information with the Russians on Islamic State targets in Syria if the cease-fire holds for seven days…

What is so surprising here is the non-surprise evinced by the editorial writers of the New York Times. The Board blandly states that the Defense Secretary and the Pentagon might not comply. Not a hint of surprise is evident at the constitutional implications of this open defiance of Presidential authority.

No, rather the Board seems to view it as quite natural and commendable that Carter should refuse to comply with this “unusual and risky” proposition. But this was not some “proposition for collaboration.” This was an agreed formal accord between the United States and another state – reached after lengthy negotiations, and done with Presidential mandate.

In brief, President Obama’s authority is no more – if it runs against the settled opinion of the Pentagon, the CIA, the New York Times, the Washington Post and of the Democratic Party’s Presidential candidate. It is not unreasonable therefore to assume that Obama’s grudging détente with a Russian President that he personally, viscerally dislikes, is now no more than diplomatic chatter…

Challenging Obama’s Authority

Cross-accusations are flying over who did what in Syria these last days, but what comes through is that Obama is facing likely insurmountable dissidence, even open disobedience, within his own Administration…

How long do you think that “insurmountable dissidence and open disobedience” will last in a Donald Trump Administration?  Do you believe that Trump will be overruled by the Pentagon, the CIA, the New York Times and the Washington Post?  Hardly.

Heal the nation

Trump has vowed to work with all nations and to rebuild the American’s leadership in the world. It is time that America assume her role as a world leader instead of a world bully.  President Trump in ushers in a radical movement in America, a real revolution.  The kind of revolution Americans are hungry for.  From Times ofIsrael:

Excerpt:

In victory speech, Trump vows to work ‘for all Americans’

US president-elect Donald Trump extended a conciliatory hand to Democratic opponent Hillary Clinton in his victory speech in New York early Wednesday, after Hillary Clinton conceded the US presidential election to the Republican.

Trump said it’s “time for us to come together,” pledging to be president “for all Americans.” He thanked Clinton, who called him to concede the result, for all her national service and congratulated her on a well-fought race…

“I pledge to every citizen of our land that I will be president for all of Americans.”  He said he plans to rebuild America, emphasizing development of transportation infrastructure and boosting the economy and “doubling growth” in the coming years.

Trump said he intends to deal fairly with all nations.  “We’ll get along with all other nations willing to get along with us…” 

Trump has pledged to act quickly to repeal Obama’s landmark health care law, revoke America’s nuclear agreement with Iran and rewrite important trade deals with other countries, particularly Mexico and Canada…

It’s a new day in America, this is what American elections are about.  Hillary Clinton put up a valiant fight and won the popular vote in spite of the unprecedented attacks by the FBI director and the GOP controlled congress.  But in the end it was Donald Trump who prevailed and now America must come together and work to heal the deep wounds that have persisted since the stolen election of 2000. 

Democracy has been restored, the American people once again had a choice and a voice.  At some point Americans must decide if we want to continue with an Electoral College system where 12-15 states choose the president.  But for now, God speed and power to the people.  May peace and harmony return to the world.

Election 2016: the CIA and FBI vs. the American people

James Comey’s politicization of the FBI has had detrimental effects on the agency that will tarnish the august institution for generations to come.  Comey, who had no law enforcement background, was nominated to head up America’s domestic intelligence agency by Barack Obama, whose presidential campaign was funded by Wall Street Banks.  During Obama’s presidential campaign, three-quarters of a billion dollars was funneled into the coffers of Obama in the biggest quid pro quo in America’s history.

After the election of Obama as president, the nations’ agencies were stacked with Wall Street Banker’s most loyal of agents in order to protect the banks from prosecution for crashing the global economy in favor of pure, unadulterated greed.  Obama’s first Attorney General, Wall Street’s own Eric Holder, ensured there would be no investigations nor prosecutions.  Nay, not only would the taxpayers bail out Wall Street but those at the top would collect hundreds of millions in bonuses.  From Rolling Stone:

Top spy agencies stacked against American people

Excerpt:

Eric Holder, Wall Street Double Agent, Comes in From the Cold

Barack Obama's former top cop cashes in after six years of letting banks run wild

Holder will reassume his lucrative partnership (he made $2.5 million the last year he worked there) and take his seat in an office that reportedly – this is no joke – was kept empty for him in his absence.

The office thing might have been improper, but at this point, who cares? More at issue is the extraordinary run Holder just completed as one of history's great double agents. For six years, while brilliantly disguised as the attorney general of the United States, he was actually working deep undercover…

Holder denied there was anything weird about returning to one of Wall Street's favorite defense firms after six years of letting one banker after another skate on monstrous cases of fraud, tax evasion, market manipulation, money laundering, bribery and other offenses…

Here's a man who just spent six years handing out soft-touch settlements to practically every Too Big to Fail bank in the world. Now he returns to a firm that represents many of those same companies: Morgan Stanley, Wells Fargo, Chase, Bank of America and Citigroup, to name a few…  after he handed out these deals, his service was certainly worth many billions of dollars to Wall Street.

Now he will presumably collect assloads of money from those very same bankers. It's one of THE BIGGEST QUID PRO QUO DEALS in the history of government service…

Yes, Eric Holder let the big banks off the hook to the tune of billions of dollars extracted from American taxpayers to bail out American and European banksters, one of which was HSBC the British based bank that laundered money for Mexican drug cartels through US satellite banking offices.

Anyone who even tries to claim that none of the banks actually did anything illegal should be directed to the HSBC settlement of December 2012. In this deferred prosecution agreement, Europe's largest bank paid $1.92 billion to settle their responsibility for violations of the Bank Secrecy Act and other laws.

This is from a description of HSBC's crimes by Holder's Justice Department:

"As a result of HSBC Bank USA's AML failures, at least $881 million in drug trafficking proceeds – including proceeds of drug trafficking by the Sinaloa Cartel in Mexico…were laundered through HSBC Bank USA."

You might remember the Sinaloa cartel for their ISIS-style, unforgettably upsetting torture videos. HSBC washed their cash. They even created special teller windows to make their deposits easier. This is admitted, not alleged.

But Holder went out of his way to let them keep their U.S. charter. HE GAVE THEIR EXECUTIVES A GRAND TOTAL OF ZERO DAYS IN JAIL, ZERO DOLLARS IN INDIVIDUAL FINES…

Holder contributed countless subtle inventions to soften punishments.  The most revolting in my view was allowing banks like Chase the courtesy of calling their settlements "remedial payments" instead of fines for wrongdoing.

This seemingly insignificant semantic tweak allowed the bank to call $7 billion of their settlement a business expense, which meant they could claim it as a tax deduction, which in turn meant that taxpayers like you and me paid a whopping $2.45 billion of Chase's penalty.

And guess who one of those Executives that received a “grand total of zero days in jail and zero dollars in individual fines” was?  None other than James Comey.  That’s right, James Comey one of the executives at HSBC Bank was involved with money laundering and drug money trafficking in the US through a British owned bank that cost American tax payers $881 million in “drug trafficking proceeds.”

Obama is Bush’s Third Term

In 2009 Mother Jones wrote an article called “Bush's Third Term?  You're living it.”  In the article they outline what George W. Bush would have done if he had a third term.  

Excerpt:

If Bush were in his third term, we would already have seen him propose, yet again, the largest military budget in the history of the world…  And of course, he would have held onto his Secretary of Defense from his second term, Robert Gates, to run the Pentagon, keep our ongoing wars rolling along, and oversee the better part of our public budget…

He'd probably also be escalating the campaign he launched late in his second term to use drone aircraft to illegally and repeatedly strike into Pakistan's tribal borderlands with Afghanistan….  If Bush were still "the decider" he'd be employing mercenaries like Blackwater and propagandists like the Rendon Group and he might even be expanding the number of private security contractors in Afghanistan.

In fact, the whole executive branch would be packed with disreputable corporate executive types. You'd have somebody like John ("May I torture this one some more, please?") Rizzo still serving, at least for a while, as general counsel at the CIA. The White House and Justice Department would be crawling with corporate cronies, people like John Brennan, Greg Craig, James Jones, and ERIC HOLDER.

In addition, the bank bailouts Bush and his economic team initiated in his second term would still be rolling along…  Ben Bernanke, for instance, would certainly have been reappointed to run the Fed…

If the Democrats in Congress attempted to pass any set of needed reforms like, to take an example, new healthcare legislation, Bush, the third termer, would have held secret meetings in the White House with insurance and drug company executives to devise a means to turn such proposals to their advantage.

This dark fantasy of a third Bush term is… an accurate portrait of Obama's first term to date.

Yes, in 2008 Americans were desperate for change, they were promised by Obama and Biden, they would get universal healthcare.  Medicare for all. Instead what was passed was the GOP’s Wall Street profit driven health insurance plan written by the right-wing Heritage Foundation.  Once the plan was repackaged in black face under the cover of a “Democratic” administration, any opposition was quickly extinguished as being racist. 

And Obamacare was just the start, the Bush Administration’s lawless attacks on civil and human rights were placed on steroids by Obama and Biden.  Each terror attack, no matter where it took place, demanded further erosion of constitutionally guaranteed rights.  From, The Free Thought Project:

America a lunatic asylum run by FBI and CIA

Excerpt:

Former CIA Officer: “Every Single Terrorist Attack In US Was A False Flag Attack”

Washington, D.C. — While it is a commonly known fact that the CIA utilizes foreign terror groups to destabilize governments targeted by the United States, a much lesser known fact is that numerous whistleblowers have come forward to claim that U.S. intelligence services not only use terrorism to achieve foreign policy goals, but to actually create domestic terror incidents to “blind the masses.”

The most recent intelligence whistleblower is David Steele, a 20-year Marine Corps intelligence officer, and the second-highest-ranking civilian in the U.S. Marine Corps Intelligence.  Steele, a former CIA clandestine services case officer, had this to say:

“Most terrorists are false flag terrorists, or are created by our own security services. In the United States, every single terrorist incident we have had has been a false flag, or has been an informant pushed on by the FBI. In fact, we now have citizens taking out restraining orders against FBI informants that are trying to incite terrorism. We’ve become a lunatic asylum...”

Many people believe the attacks of 9/11 to be a false flag event, perhaps orchestrated by U.S. intelligence services or an entity that operates above the level of government entities (commonly referred to as the deep state/military industrial complex.)

The alleged purpose of this false flag attack was to justify the invasion of other countries, and usher in a heightened state of “national security,” precipitating the curtailing of civil liberties in the name of “safety.”

How effective has the 911 false flag been in persuading the American people to accept the CIA’s overthrow of elected governments who refuse to succumb to America’s imperial ambitions?  Just ask Brazil and Argentina two of the most powerful and rich countries in South America, who have both seen their elected governments overthrown by the CIA and their resources and treasuries thrown open to Wall Street hedge fund vultures.  From GlobalResearch.

Excerpt:

Wall Street and the Pentagon greeted the onset of 2016 as a ‘banner year’, a glorious turning point in the quest for malleable regimes willing to sell-off the most lucrative economic resources, to sign off on onerous new debt to Wall Street and to grant use of their strategic military bases to the Pentagon.

Brazil and Argentina, the most powerful and richest countries in South America and the Philippines, Washington’s most strategic military platform in Southeast Asia, were the objects of intense US political operations in the run-up to 2016.

In each instance, Wall Street and the Pentagon secured smashing successes leading to premature ejaculations over the ‘new golden era’ of financial pillage and unfettered military adventures…

Argentina and Brazil:  Grandiose Schemes and Crapulous Outcomes

The international financial press was ecstatic over the election of President Mauricio Macri in Argentina and the appointment of former Wall Street bankers to his cabinet.  They celebrated the ouster of the ‘evil populists’, accusing them of inflating economic results, reneging on debt obligations and discouraging foreign lenders and investors.  Under the Macri regime all market obstacles were to be removed and all the bankers trembled with anticipation at the ‘good times’ to come.

After taking office in December 2015, President Macri unleashed the ‘animal instincts’ of the market and the carrion birds flocked in.  US ‘vulture funds’ scooped up and demanded payment for on old Argentine debt ‘valued’ at $3.5 billion – constituting a 1,000% return on their initial investment.  A devaluation of the peso of 50% tripled inflation and drove down wages by 20%.

Firing over 200,000 public sector employees, slapping 400% price increases on utilities and transport, driving small and medium size firms into bankruptcy and enraged consumers into the streets ended the honeymoon with the Argentine electorate quite abruptly.  This initial massive dose of free enterprise ‘medicine’ was prescribed by the local and Wall Street bankers and investors who had promised a new golden era for capitalism!  …

Brazil:  Wall Street’s Three Month ‘Whirl-Wind’ Honeymoon

Most of the current elected members of the Brazilian Congress, Senate and the recently-installed (rather than elected) President, as well as his cabinet, are in trouble:  The hero, Michael Temer and his argonauts, chosen by Wall Street to privatize the Brazilian economy and usher in another ‘golden dawn’ for finance capital, now all face criminal changes, arrest and long prison sentences for money laundering, bribery, fraud, tax evasion and corruption.

In less than four months, the entire political edifice constructed to impeach the elected President Dilma Rousseff and then de-nationalize key sectors of the economy, is shaking.   So much for the financial press’s proclamation of a new era of “business friendly” policies in Brazilia.

Ha ha, the best laid plans of “rats and spooks” in Latin America is a big failure.  Now the 2016 election is upon us and the CIA and FBI are pulling out all the stops to upend the two major candidates, neither of whom they want to ascend to power and rein in the unfettered power of the US shadow government.  The agencies are irate that the American people rejected their candidates in the primaries.  So, what is the latest “false flag” being spoon fed to the American people?  The Russian Government is interfering with the American election.  Bullsh*t.  From Alex Jones:

Excerpt:

CONFIRMED: US INTEL OPERATIVES LEAKED CLINTON CAMPAIGN EMAILS, NOT RUSSIA

It’s now clear from numerous sources that the Podesta hack, which led to Wikileaks releasing tens of thousands of Clinton campaign emails, as well as other hacks targeting the Democratic Party, were the work of U.S. intelligence operatives…  Sources who have spoken privately to Alex Jones but don’t want to be named have confirmed that government and intelligence operatives worked in tandem to provide Julian Assange’s organization with the Podesta emails.

This is backed up by former British ambassador Craig Murray, who was told by security insiders that the email leak “comes from within official circles in Washington DC.”  William Binney, NSA whistleblower and former technical head of the NSA, also told Infowars back in August that the email leaks which have negatively impacted the Democratic Party were carried out by individuals within the U.S. intelligence community who were angry at Hillary exposing classified information and sought to take revenge.

Yes, and while the intelligence community is throwing everything in their massive covert goody bag at Hillary Clinton before Tuesday’s election, the Republican establishment is coalescing around Paul Ryan to keep Trump from winning the electoral vote.  It is too late, Trump has already won.  Trump is truly the candidate of change. 

Not only has Trump stood by the people of the United States, he has stood by the people of the world especially in the UK, Russia and Syria.  Now the people will stand by Trump and Trump will be the leader of the free world.  Under a President Trump, America will be great again, because America will be good again.  Under President Trump the world will be a better place.  On Tuesday America’s sixteen year nightmare will be over, thank God.

Oligarchs cheer Comey's “hail Mary pass” to defeat Clinton & Trump on November 8th

On Friday, October 28^th just eleven days before the presidential election, the oligarchs threw a “hail Mary” pass, not to Donald Trump but to Paul Ryan, the oligarch’s speaker of the house.  The oligarch controlled congress has been teed up to decide the election should neither candidate garner the 270 electoral votes required to become president.  Republican James Comey, Director of the FBI and oligarch’s handmaiden delivered a blow to the frontrunner in the presidential race, Hillary Clinton when he sent a letter to the Senate Judiciary Committee stating the FBI was “reopening an investigation” into the e-mails of Hillary Clinton.  From Newsweek:

Excerpt:

The disclosure by the Federal Bureau of Investigation late on Friday, October 28 that it had discovered potential new evidence in its inquiry into Hillary Clinton’s handling of her personal email when she was Secretary of State has virtually nothing to do with any actions taken by the Democratic nominee, according to government records and an official with knowledge of the investigation, who spoke to Newsweek on condition of anonymity.

The revelation that the FBI has discovered additional emails convulsed the political world, and led to widespread (and erroneous) claims and speculation…  The truth is much less explosive. There is no indication the emails in question were withheld by Clinton during the investigation, the law enforcement official told Newsweek, nor does the discovery suggest she did anything illegal.

Also, none of the emails were to or from Clinton, the official said. Moreover, despite the widespread claims in the media that this development had prompted the FBI to “reopen” of the case, IT DID NOT; such investigations are never actually closed, and it is common for law enforcement to discover new information that needs to be examined.

My, my why would Republican James Comey drop this bombshell now?  We keep hearing that Comey is an honorable man, above reproach but is he?  From The Common Sense Show:

Excerpt:

Comey Oversaw Drug Cartel Money Laundering Operations As a Top Executive At HSBC Bank

Before becoming the director of the FBI, Director Comey, worked at the criminal bank of HSBC which laundered drug cartel and terrorist drug money in the worst banking scandal in US history.

My best insider source states that FBI Director James Comey has absolutely no law enforcement background, and is not qualified to run the FBI. To add insult to injury, the FBI Director held an executive position at HSBC Bank, while extreme money laundering operations where (sic) being carried out by the Mexican Drug Cartel and their terrorist allies with the direct assistance of HSBC banking officials. I asked my source if Comey would have known, and he replied “he would have to have been drunk 24/7 to not know what was going on”.

Comey did not just work at HSBC bank as his resume indicates (see below). He was on the Executive Board at the very time the HSBC scandal was breaking. There is no way he did not know as he looked the other way. And when he was vetted for his job as FBI Director, they knew then, he was in a key position of an organization that was caught laundering Mexican drug cartel money for the Sinoloas, the Los Zetas and their terrorist allies. Yet, despite this information which is publicly available, he was made the FBI Director with no law enforcement background!

Oh, dear and this is the man that dropped the bombshell that Hillary Clinton is being investigated for e-mails sent from Anthony Weiner’s personal computer.  E-mails that according to Newsweek had, “virtually nothing to do with any actions taken by the Democratic nominee.”  Whose interests are being served by Republican James Comey?  Maybe this article by Dr. Paul Craig Roberts can shed some light on Comey’s conflict of interest.

Excerpt:

The Failure of Democracy -- How The Oligarchs Plan To Steal The Election

I am now convinced that the Oligarchy that rules America intends to steal the presidential election. In the past, the oligarchs have not cared which candidate won as the oligarchs owned both. But they do not own Trump…

Who are the oligarchs?

--Wall Street and the mega-banks too big to fail and their agent the Federal Reserve, a federal agency that put five banks ahead of millions of troubled American homeowners who the Federal Reserve allowed to be flushed down the toilet. In order to save the mega-banks' balance sheets from their irresponsible behavior, the Fed has denied retirees any interest income on their savings for eight years, forcing the elderly to draw down their savings, leaving their heirs, who have been displaced from employment by corporate jobs offshoring, penniless.

--The military/security complex which has spent trillions of our taxpayer dollars on 15 years of gratuitous wars based entirely on lies in order to enrich themselves and their power.

--The neoconservatives whose crazed ideology of US world hegemony thrusts the American people into military conflict with Russia and China…

Hmmm, Wall Street mega-banks, the military/security complex and crazed neoconservatives hell bent on World War III stand to gain if Comey’s FBI can destroy the two front runners in the presidential election.  Gee, no conflict of interest there.  Paul Ryan and the GOP controlled congress are lapping up Comey’s latest witch hunt Pablum.  But if anyone believes this revelation by Comey is designed to benefit Donald Trump they are “dead wrong.”

What convinces me that the Oligarchy intends to steal the election is the vast difference between the presstitutes' reporting and the facts on the ground.  According to the presstitutes, Hillary is so far ahead that there is no point in Trump supporters bothering to vote…  I am yet to see one Hillary yard sign, but Trump signs are everywhere. Reports I receive are that Hillary's public appearances are unattended but Trump's are so heavily attended that people have to be turned away. This is a report from a woman in Florida:

"Trump has pulled huge numbers all over FL while campaigning here this week. I only see Trump signs and stickers in my wide travels. I dined at a Mexican restaurant last night. Two women my age sitting behind me were talking about how they had tried to see Trump when he came to Tallahassee. They left work early, arriving at the venue at 4:00 for a 6:00 rally. The place was already over capacity so they were turned away. It turned out that there were so many people there by 2:00 that the doors had to be opened to them. The women said that the crowds present were a mix of races and ages."

Interesting, in order for the oligarchs to succeed with a coup d'état this election is to create their own reality.  In other words they must convince the people that the two front runners are so unpopular that they cannot amass the 270 electoral votes to become president.  It’s the old “who are you going to believe me or your own lyin’ eyes.”   A free and honest press is vital to Democracy and we do not have a free or honest press.  Now AT&T is planning on merging with Time Warner to form the largest media monopoly in history, but Donald Trump has stated unequivocally his administration will block this unholy marriage.  From Bloomberg:

Excerpt:

Trump Would Block AT&T-Time Warner Deal in Media Crackdown

Donald Trump said he would block the AT&T Inc.-Time Warner Inc. tie-up if he becomes president, arguing that such media combinations leave too much power concentrated among too few companies, including ones he says are hostile to his presidential bid and rigging the election for Hillary Clinton.

The Republican commented during a speech on Saturday in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, billed as an unveiling of Trump’s “contract with the voter” and prospective actions for his first 100 days…  Trump also suggested he would favor a breakup of NBC and Comcast Corp., a merger completed in 2013.

Such deals, he said, are “poison” to democracy and result in companies “telling the voters what to think and what to do.” Trump, who has called the U.S. election rigged multiple times this month, didn’t discuss mergers among non-media companies.

Well, well is Trump right?  Are such deals as the NBC/Comcast and AT&T/Time Warner poison to democracy?  From Silicon Beat:

Excerpt:

AT&T built system for spying on own customers, selling info to law enforcement for millions: report

News that Yahoo reportedly gave in to a court order without a fight and spied on users on behalf of the FBI generated massive public outrage. Now it appears that AT&T has been spying on its customers on behalf of various law enforcement agencies, and that it’s been raking in millions of dollars in exchange for information about users, including their locations.

The telecommunications giant, whose planned $85 billion purchase of Time-Warner faces heavy scrutiny by regulators, created the “Hemisphere” program and used it to make millions of dollars a year peddling users’ personal information to police and other agencies, according to The Daily Beast…

AT&T developed Hemisphere in 2007, and it’s now used in 28 Drug Enforcement Agency intelligence centers, according to the article. Employees of the telecom reportedly analyze AT&T’s data on users to give information to the DEA.

Gee, that seems in violation of the constitution of America.  Sounds like a case for the US Supreme Court, our highest authority on the constitution.  An august body above reproach for their “non-partisan” interpretation of the constitution.  Not.  From Slate:

Excerpt:

No More Bush v. Gore

For many years after the Supreme Court ruled 5–4, along partisan lines, to resolve the 2000 election in a way that ensured George W. Bush would win the presidency, Justice Antonin Scalia would unerringly answer questions about Bush v. Gore and a potentially stolen election with a tart admonition to “get over it.”

The late justice’s words drove liberals nuts—it was about as dismissive as he could be without resorting to his middle finger. But as we fret about the toxic—and possibly even violent—outcome of a presidential election seen by a great swath of the electorate as illegitimate, and as we worry about the impossibility of post-election repair, Justice Scalia’s seemingly snotty answer reveals just what has been lost between 2000 and 2016.

Despite the rank injustice of how the 2000 election was decided, and the staggering silliness of the majority opinion in Bush v. Gore, Americans tolerated the judicial decree that the election was over…  Senate Republicans have now clearly signaled that any nominee seated by a Democratic president will not be “their” justice and a court dominated by Democratic appointees is no longer a real court.

So the oligarch controlled GOP has drawn a line in the sand, if the GOP loses the election they will not confirm any Supreme Court Justice nominated by a Democrat, effectively initiating a judicial coup.  Only a SCOTUS approved by the oligarchs is “legitimate.”  So will the 2016 election be stolen by the oligarchs?  In order to do so there must be massive, behind-the-scenes fraud.  From Insider Fox News:

Excerpt:

Officials in 2 States Say Early Voters Want to Change Their Ballots

Voters in Minnesota and Wisconsin have the option of changing their vote if they cast their ballots early or as absentees.  Rich Edson reported on "America's Election HQ" today that officials in the two states have confirmed that some voters are indeed changing their minds and their ballots.  Edson reported that the Minnesota Secretary of State's Office says that voters can ask to cancel their ballot until the close of business one week before Election Day.  "Wisconsin officials say voters can cancel their absentee ballots up to three times," Edson noted.

Ha, ha.  Who do you think those “some voters” are?  And what about those previous two votes cast, will they be counted as legitimate votes?  Are some voters allowed to cast three votes in Wisconsin?  You betcha.  Do you think elections in “Koch Brothers’ Korrupt Wisconsin are legitimate? 

He said that these rules are particularly significant in this election, with all the late-breaking sexual assault allegations against Donald Trump and WikiLeaks dumps of Hillary Clinton campaign emails.

"Now, thousands of voters in those states can resubmit their ballots if revelations about the candidates change their mind."

Yes, while some voters in Scott Walker’s Wisconsin can cast three ballots, students at UW-GB will have a difficult time even casting one vote, thanks to the GOP. From The Nation:

Excerpt:

A City Clerk Opposed an Early-Voting Site at UW–Green Bay Because ‘Students Lean More Toward the Democrats’

Carly Stumpner, a junior biology major at the University of Wisconsin–Green Bay, had an hour between classes to vote during Wisconsin’s April 5 presidential primary. But when she arrived at her polling place on campus, the line stretched for two hours across the student union...   When polls closed at 8 pm, there were still 150 students waiting to vote. “Some people described it as chaos,” reported Ellery McCardle of the local ABC affiliate. “People were standing shoulder to shoulder, there was absolutely no room to move around in here.”

After the primary, leaders of eight different student groups—including the Republican, Democratic, and Libertarian parties and the Black Student Union—asked the city to put an early-voting location on campus to alleviate long lines. But city officials ignored the request and opened only one early-voting site on September 26 for the entire city—the third-largest in Wisconsin—at the clerk’s office, a 15-minute drive from campus, which is open only during business hours. City Clerk Kris Teske, an appointee of Republican Mayor Jim Schmitt, a close ally of Governor Scott Walker, said the city didn’t have the money, time, or security to open an early-voting location on campus or anywhere else…

But privately Teske gave a different reason for opposing an early-voting site at UW–Green Bay…   “I have heard it said that students lean more toward the democrats…  In 2014, Wisconsin’s Republican legislature eliminated early-voting hours on nights and weekends and restricted early-voting sites to one location per city.

GOP State Senator Glenn Grothman, who’s now a member of Congress, cited extended early-voting hours in heavily Democratic cities like Madison and Milwaukee and said, “I want to nip this in the bud before too many other cities get on board.”

Even Barack Obama and John McCain are now admitting the election is rigged.  From Veterans Today:

Did McCain and Obama BOTH admit 2016 election is rigged?

In a stunning bipartisan admission, President Barrack Obama and Sen. John McCain reportedly have revealed that the outcome of the upcoming presidential election has been essentially decided in advance, and that the pre-ordained winner – barring an act of God – will be Hillary Clinton.  McCain’s reported remarks echoed Obama’s statement in August that Trump will be declared the loser, and will not even be allowed to raise questions, unless he is at least 10 or 15 points ahead:

“If Mr. Trump is up 10 or 15 points on Election Day and ends up losing, then maybe he can raise some questions,” President Obama stated on August 4th according to Reuters… The official admission that Trump will not be allowed to even “raise questions,” much less claim victory, unless he is “up 10 or 15 points” speaks volumes about American elections…

The official admission that Trump will not be allowed to even “raise questions,” much less claim victory, unless he is “up 10 or 15 points” speaks volumes about American elections. If you win by less than 10 or 15 percent, they will steal the election from you – as Bush/Cheney did when Kerry won by roughly 54% – 46% in 2004, but had the result nullified by rigged voting machines. The cyber expert who rigged the machines, Mike Connell, was killed in an engineered plane crash shortly before he was scheduled to testify in court against Karl Rove.

That’s right, unless Donald Trump wins with a “fraud-proof margin” he cannot even question the preordained results.   So just eleven days before the presidential election, the oligarchs have thrown a “hail Mary” pass to Paul Ryan and the oligarch controlled congress.  It doesn’t matter that there’s no there, there.  The media will run with the “bombshell” October Surprise provided by the oligarch’s handmaiden James Comey. 

After the election Comey will receive another cushy job for his service to the oligarchs, maybe at the World Bank this time.  The results are in, the election is rigged, and Americans have a choice in front of them, they can either rise up and fight against the oligarchs or take Antonin Scalia’s advice and “get over it.” I for one will fight.
