Look, I have liberal friends who are decent loving people but who just lost their minds and ethical bearings during the Obama years. Therefore, when I tell them that to be consistent they have to make a link between opposition to the NRA and opposition to the US arms industry and war most get it.

I’d say that evil triumphs because of the blasé. There’s no use telling anyone that… it’s how normal people ran Auschwitz. “I can’t do anything about it… they’ll hurt me if I protest”. Remember… weak people are more dangerous than evil people are. There are more of the former than there are of the latter…

Maybe people should keep this in mind, as they lap up the warmongering pabulum fed to them 24/7. Remember, the fact that all media feed you the same pabulum does NOT mean that it’s true. It just means that six corporations with the same interests own them all and they coordinate their ”talking points” (i.e. daily propaganda). I’m sick of people telling me self-righteously as they roll off a list of imperial media names:
Are you telling me that they’re ALL lying?
Yes, they are. They’re lying to you. Moreover, if you weren’t so very afraid of subjecting your precious delicate mind to information not approved by your overlords, you’d investigate and find that out.

10 March 2018. BOTH Neoliberal Parties are Enemies of the People

If you think that Hillary is an “alternative” to Trump, do think again. They’re both Upper Middle “strivers”… that is, neither one is really accepted by the real American Élite and the desire to part of that group eats both Chilly Hilly and Trump the Chump up alive. You see, the Mellons, Carnegies, Rockefellers, Gardiners, and Whitneys don’t accept them as part of their social circle… that snobbish exclusion rankles both Trump and Clinton (it angers them that the real upper-crust snubs them). Of course, the First Families use those two… they back both factions, for they know that Clinton and Trump are both their patsies. We don’t need either neoliberal party… but my question is:
Ponder it wisely… for an ill-considered move could bring in real fascism, not the denatured form now in power. Which side ARE you on?
