Periodic recap prelude the group for new members, recent, and old. I'm posting Robert Parry's Memoriam as a template the purpose of the group. Within it provides why we need more exposure the population of factual independent news sources we don't get from our mainstream media. It covers Parry's career from the early 80's into his short time of this new Trump era. His trials with MSM and the start of Consortium News. You can find a few good articles from his past also within as they go through his life in relation to the topic at hand in those periods.

Robert Parry’s Legacy and the Future of Consortiumnews

I'm also adding a 2010 article by Robert Parry. It give us a sense of how we got to where we are today as a country, so far to the right. I call it collaboration of the left, as a lot of my post go towards the lack of their representation for left ideology, dare I even mention progressive social ideology. As you read Parry's opinion from 2010 you can see how we slowly moved towards a government now consisting of 2 right parties due to the silence of the democrats when we deserve a party with a sense and will to fight for us. We don't hear a lot about the Tea Party anymore. That's because despite the fake opposition the republicans put up, they incorporated the ideology seemingly without much notice. Remember, they once claimed the Tea Party wouldn't take over their party. Today, it is the Tea Party. Just as I called the fake Trump hate they voiced opposition to in the primary cycle, they have again seemingly incorporated him. In which the democratic party put up virtually no fight with his administration nominations. We now also have a democratic Party who openly admits to be opposition to any real sense of progressive policies. I give you Nancy Pelosi. As the 2016 primary cycle came and gone, the democrats conducted no resemblance of a democracy with it's corrupt stolen win for one of the most vile people on the planet. Is that harsh? I realize a lot of people still love that woman. Hell, I use to love both her and Bill, I use to love watching interviews of them. They are fucking brilliant speakers. But then one day I learned what is in the shadows they cast behind them. It was like being hit upside the head with a 4x4 board. The truth hurts sometimes. People, we are represented today by 2 right wing parties. Why does this hurt? Because it's been by design within a creepy fog that has engulfed us in an illusion through a systematic managed perception.
