    Eyes Wide Shut - coming to elections near you

    what are we witnessing? campaign advertising? haven't we had our $1.3B worth?
    did Trump invent white supremacists or did he embolden them? are white supremacist rallys something new or just new to our cable TVs? logically I would have suspected these white supremacists to have been more active, vocal and violent during a black presidents administration. I would have suspected that white supremacists would have "counter protested" at the peak of the BLM movement. why have these groups suddenly become so active, vocal and violent now? are they any more protected now then say a few years ago? if so how and by which laws? is this new or new to our cable tv screens?

    are we again witnessing a blurring of the lines between Nazis and Trump supportors via Nazis to white supremacists to Republicans to Trump supportors.

    does this sound familiar...remember when the 1980s wanted their foreign policy back a few years ago? In the matter of months our cable TV boxes suddenly made Putin and Russia the big bad bear again! Putin Russia manipulate the world wide web and meddle in world wide elections. Putin has the puppet strings, Putin Russia Ukrainian Balkan conquest!

    The blurred lines of Trump/Putin
    Pre-Election Trump/Putin, post election Trump Putin to Trump Russia to Trump campaign and Russia to Trump campaign associates and Russians to Trump campaign associates and financial dealings with Russians.

    Are we watching news on our cable TV boxes or campaign advertising disguised as news?

    Are you buying what your cable TV box is selling? I'm selling soap that can make you taller.
    You really should cite your sources. Must be another Russia/Trump collusion bombshell ready to drop today. It'll be bigly. 755 bigly. Has Trump condemned white supremacy yet?

    Godaddy.com informed teh Stormer that they will not host the site in 24 hours.  Do you think this is a dual attack on Stormer or that Anonymous is taking credit for what Daddy did?  
  • mrussel1mrussel1 Posts: 29,659
    Or.... that Stormer is going to blame the Globalist Anonymous for the attack in an effort to have another reason to be aggrieved..  I actually think this is the most likely scenario.

    Corporations are threatened by losing money, and are encouraged by potential profit - so they work to act in ways which produce profit, like working via lobbyists to not taint their reputation, yet curry favour with members of government.
     
    Lobbyists are simple: they're threatened by policies which lose their employers money, and are encouraged by policies which gain their employers money - so they influence until their employers are supported according to their intended goals.

    Members of government are threatened by lack of public support (necessary to win votes) and lack of corporate support (necessary to profit), and are encouraged by potential profit. 

    You have a cycle which exists because America's population is proud/naive/uneducated/oblivious (pick any) enough that the threat of lack of public support can be subdued by simply lying and hiding self-serving actions which far favour corporate support over public support, since the public can be fooled, and corporate favour yields greater compensation. How do you break this cycle, when the only threat is minuscule due to a people who have taught the powers that be, that they do not need to consider them? 

    The more I think about this, the more precarious and finite the American empire seems to be.

    Corporations are threatened by losing money, and are encouraged by potential profit - so they work to act in ways which produce profit, like working via lobbyists to not taint their reputation, yet curry favour with members of government.
     
    Lobbyists are simple: they're threatened by policies which lose their employers money, and are encouraged by policies which gain their employers money - so they influence until their employers are supported according to their intended goals.

    Members of government are threatened by lack of public support (necessary to win votes) and lack of corporate support (necessary to profit), and are encouraged by potential profit. 

    You have a cycle which exists because America's population is proud/naive/uneducated/oblivious (pick any) enough that the threat of lack of public support can be subdued by simply lying and hiding self-serving actions which far favour corporate support over public support, since the public can be fooled, and corporate favour yields greater compensation. How do you break this cycle, when the only threat is minuscule due to a people who have taught the powers that be, that they do not need to consider them? 

    The more I think about this, the more precarious and finite the American empire seems to be. 
    The decline of the American empire began with the invasion of Iraq and Bush/Cheney selling their souls for the surveillance state, secrecy (22 million missing emails) and extraordinary rendition with torture.

    John Oliver: 'Fucking Idiot' Trump Managed To Screw Up Disavowing Nazis

    “Nazis are a lot like cats. If they like you, it’s probably because you’re feeding them.”

  • Latest tweet from the vacationing President Trump folks....

    Luther Strange of the Great State of Alabama has my endorsement. He is strong on Border & Wall, the military, tax cuts & law enforcement. Heading to Washington this morning. Much work to do. Focus on trade and military. #MAGA 
    The Obstructionist Democrats have given us (or not fixed) some of the worst trade deals in World History. I am changing that fast!  Now that Ken Frazier of Merck Pharma has resigned from President's Manufacturing Council,he will have more time to LOWER RIPOFF DRUG PRICES!

    Any comment from Ben Carson regarding Charlottesville? Can someone go wake him up and ask him what is like working for a racist, white nationalist? Please.

    Or.... that Stormer is going to blame the Globalist Anonymous for the attack in an effort to have another reason to be aggrieved..  I actually think this is the most likely scenario.
    Like some on here they will blame in no particular order......

    The Jews
    Obama
    The Clintons
    Kamala Harris
    Etc etc
