Surchin comments on Jan 25, 2020:

As a healthcare practitioner, if healthcare is a right, who provides it? Do you force people to go into debt for school to provide for others' needs? I think we both can agree that our hybrid system is not working. We do not have a free market for healthcare, we do not have a truly state sponsored ...

William_Mary replies on Jan 26, 2020:

@Surchin it's a proven fact that healthcare can be vastly cheaper on a socialized scale which can be worked at the end of the year when doing your taxes. In 2016 Sanders proposal was approximately $700 for a single middle class person. At the time that would have been approximately 2 months of what was drawn out of my pay at the time. Saving me 10 months of further payments for the rest of the year. That's approximately a $7000 dollar savings in a year that can go towards a hell of a lot of other things, mainly retirement. Why in the hell would anyone want to continue supporting over bloated CEO incomes, bonuses, failed red tape procedures, etc in continued support of a system where it seems like we are paying for better healthcare systems for people around the globe? Because basically that is what we are doing. The population of the US is basically being used to subsidize the rest of the globes universal healthcare. I personally want the same as they get. In some places they get free transportation to and from their appointments and hospital stays. Reimburse for bus fares if that is the case. Home visiting childcare (nannies) while they're away to their appointments. We're plainly being hoodwinked on healthcare in the US for manipulated profit needs. And it's well past time for our representatives to do something about it other than depending on their share of the scam being perpetrated on us.

William_Mary replies on Jan 25, 2020:

@rogerbenham Warren of course would apply some executive orders as all do reversing Trump's towards a resemblance of Obama era. But the shift to the right is already in place. So I agree with your assessment. And as far as I'm concerned and stated here on many occasions, Sanders has already telegraphed what I see as the same. His actions and lack of actions in 2016 have already laid the path he is most likely going to follow. I will continuously argue that if Sanders would have taken Jill Steins offer of running under the Green Party ticket we'd have a president Sanders today, not Trump. He was leading in the polls within double digits of beating Trump. A large amount of registered democratic and independent voters that don't participate in voting today would have came out in droves to support him. I seen people of all ages and from both republican and independent parties changing party affiliation to vote for him in the primary. He fucking blew all that support! Then gave up the fight at the convention in which he promised to fight through. Then joined in with the false Russiagate narrative. And to this day never has mentioned or will mention how the DNC screwed him and his supporters! How the Primary went down from state to state. Not one time did he question what was going on in caucus states especially to show any sense of supporting us. He basically just allowed himself to be walked all over.

William_Mary replies on Jan 25, 2020:

@rogerbenham I'll argue she is a Hillary Clinton! She claims to have been stabbed in the back by Clinton, then supports Clinton. Now works with Clinton. In 2016 she held back her choice in support for either Sanders or Clinton almost right up to the convention, then supported Clinton. Who I ask had a platform that closely resembles hers is all one need to ask to understand the hypocrisy here. Below is a time Warren was a law professor at Harvard, on the Bill Moyer's show speaking about what Clinton did to her over bankruptcy legislature. Yet she works hand in hand now with the dog that bit her? I'll argue what you see in this video is a woman setting up her political career. That these types of dog and cat fights are merely a show of each other in bitter feuds are actually in compliance to provide entertainment. In time Warren and Sanders will carry on like nothing happened just as we see between Warren and Clinton. Because it means nothing to these people. The show must go on, towards the next show.

Warren went from collecting big money to keep her seat 2018, transfer the remaining to 2020, to now excepting their money through PACs for 2020. It's basically the best of both worlds. A game of deceit if I may. It sounds quite good to run as a president behind the mask of claiming you don't except big money these days while hoping the population is to ignorant to understand the what, where, and how of what a PAC is and does. And those who don't do the work support out of ignorance for various reasons. Approximately 3 months ago reports started coming out that Warren was initiating contact with Hillary Clinton. Or vise versa. Clinton was reported to be introducing her support system to Warren. Big money donors, campaign strategist, campaign dinners and meetings with corporations, etc. You get the picture. I think it's fair to place a conjecture to the recent Sanders events as being a Clinton campaign strategy Warren pulled. It helps to take all eyes from the money issue when you're attempting to draw the votes of some of those I speak of above who are voting merely on wanting the first woman president while using the sexist narrative.

Says the man that seemingly supports a woman clearly bent towards retribution stemming from hatred. Where you lose, is that the media has managed that perception of Clinton having an agenda towards retribution on Sanders, Trump, and Russia, blaming these entities for her loss. While my conjecture is that it's all a facade. As you seemingly are ignorant of her past and the results of it. Possibly a willing compliant to her and those results against humanity supporting the harm shes staunchly played a part in. I hate the game!

If you look hard enough and use the right words in a search you can find the outright disdain, or act of I would argue, of the family feud Michele Obama and Clinton had in the 2008 run. I've posted a video of Michele's comments before that would lead one to believe the relationship was no where near a cause of later making Clinton SOS. But how did that go? That alone gives at least a couple of suggestions as to why she was.

Easily said while you're relatively safe in the US, while that is exactly what others face to force the US dollar use. And sanctions kill vastly more people in some regards. While the US has lost approximately 8000 people between the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, Venezuela alone has lost at least 40,000 people due to sanctions since only about 2014. Most of those since only 2017 at the height of application. You're basically admitting that the economic murder of millions over time is worth the murder of several thousand American troops when other countries resist. Just which families would you believe agree with that assessment? And if you don't believe these wars are over lies and a deceptive reality in which they are being killed in, you're must support them?

William_Mary replies on Jan 19, 2020:

@altschmerz I know the feeling all to well. I keep bouncing the idea of voting for Sanders around in my skull, but, soon after the thought 2016 quickly smacks me upside my head, it makes my head hurt. While the debates have added a rather colorful entertainment for us I quickly remind myself that it's just that, entertainment. Controlled by the media apparatus by the DNC. What we are getting is simply a mirror image of 2016 with more people participating in role playing. Within a controlled environment that isn't answering any problems or detailing any means to combat the real issues. Again the main narrative is beat Trump at any cost while basically preserving the present policies ripping our society apart. Russia is hacking our elections fear tactic as part as the foundation the facade is built on. Iran is evil, another corner stone. Israel has a right to defend itself, cornerstone. Universal healthcare cost to much, cornerstone. China is stealing our technology and is a communist threat to the world, cornerstone. What you aren't getting is the mention of a vast waste of money on Middle East wars built on lies that they knew can't be won. Barely, if at all, brought up even though we know this is fact. When it is brought up it's not about the truth, it's about how to adjust sustainability. In other words that means more of the same. All the money we've put into this warring could have been provided to combat social issues times over! In the debates it gets, crickets. Actually delving into the legitimacy of actions and holding people responsible can not be tolerated! BECAUSE THEY ALL PLAYED A FUCKING ROLE IN IT! And still are!

William_Mary replies on Jan 19, 2020:

@rogerbenham the sad thing is there seems to be an abundance of them. But as above where altschmerz brings up an article of Johnstone's, these people seemingly are staunchly related to republican administrations, within a means she mentions in that article. In that article she relates the democrats to a boxers jabs through their policy practices. While their policies basically do little to nothing to create the progressive change they voice to be, they essentially move us slowly to the right in compliance. This setting us up for the knockout punch for when the republicans take control moving further right. I'll use the last 5 decades as an example. Carter to Reagan--Pretty much without public notice Carter allows himself to begin the Afghanistan affair with the USSR. Combine that with the hostage situation of Iran. Carter comes out looking like a dying rose only to be seen as a president who made some bad choices who got a bunch of servicemen killed and couldn't get the hostages freed. Going on to be a media wise growing symbol as a humanitarian only to be denounced by republican supporters. History now telling the incoming Reagan campaign made a deal with the Iranians to hold the hostages until the 80 election was over. Combine that with Iran-Contra you begin to see a certain type of people we've seen filter from the Reagan administration and 3 other administrations, both Bush's and now Trump. Latin American wars, illegal arms trade with Contra's and Iran, after US funding was banished for use twice, leading to a crack cocaine epidemic. With only a few fall guys taking the hit virtually no one is held responsible. Add 4 years of daddy Bush to continue much of the same policies while also using his presidential power to cover up the remaining remnants of the previous 8 years of crimes and his involvements. Including his time in the CIA. Clinton begins his endeavors with light antagonizing warring in various places like Kosovo, Bosnia, Somalia, Rwanda, and Iraq. Although media wise seen as humanitarian these all had quite questionable acts of compliant atrocities within them. Bill Clinton is still vastly endeared by many today. 500,000 dead children in Iraq can't even break through that barrier. Bush Jr to Obama, I would imagine the pattern is exposing itself by now? Bush loads his administration with much of Reagan's administration war criminals who are friends of daddy. Again making an appearance in the Trump administration. Obama like Clinton is endeared by many. Those main 2 previously from above are all linked to think tanks, NGO's, and foundations of a particular agenda wrapped up in deep state intelligence agencies using a tool called the media to create a facade towards balance of government. I can only wish right had something ...

William_Mary replies on Jan 18, 2020:

@RoboGraham right, I know the feeling all to well. All you can do is state you argument and hope for the best sometimes. With some people no matter how much information you provide will you be able to turn cognitive dissonance. They will latch onto those very few ideologies they've been conditioned to believe in never stepping abroad to anything that contradicts. Accusations with little to no information without opposing views become pure facts. They become unable to ask the right questions or recognize when someone else does so with legitimacy. Articles that provide valuable learning details via links within an opposing view take to much time for them reach an informative basis to form what could be a redevelopment of their current opinion. In which at this point they are probably more the type who only learns from catchy eye candy headlines and a forward paragraph or 2 that's meant to condition one. Then the MSM via radio and TV fill in the rest of the agenda with perception management. Because those reporters and journalist will not upset the agenda either. Never giving the brain the opportunity to raise valuable questions. Pick you fights well. I learned that the hard way. I've wasted much time debating those who only are able to repeat establishment rhetoric nonstop never getting anywhere. They can never provide an opinion with substantial information only repeating the rhetoric they hear in the MSM. And they attack when you do with the rhetoric they've been conditioned from which they hear from MSM and often social media. This is why tribal politics continue to survive. They only recognize when the other party does unethical practices, but can't recognize when their party is committing the same unethical acts. Often then it becomes an argument of degree in compliance of justification. Which from the Reagan era to Trump, at least, what we see today is the enactment of crimes and unethical procedures becoming ordinary.

@RoboGraham well the terminology within the presidential powers is quite misleading. None the less, it's due to reliable and factual information being used. Both countries are throwing around the terrorist label. Was this person also so inclined to give Obama the same justification as he illegally used these powers? Being a subject of partisan politics. Possibly just engulfed in the perception management of hate Iran and anything they say or do also? Personally I would argue Iran is the better adult in the room. They've been in defense mode since the early 1900's due to colonialism from first Britain and now the US. Anyone that can't see this simply doesn't know the history of these relationships over the time lines and compliant to the brainwashing that comes with it. This is all information you have to seek on your own accord being the media works hand in hand with the establishment and deep state. If Iran assassinated a commander of ours within their sense of terrorist labeling, would this person accept it as legitimate? Probably not having been conditioned outside of the true history and facts.

William_Mary replies on Jan 18, 2020:

@RoboGraham basically the US created a civilian war by manipulating social tensions. As ISIS was being forced out of Iraq into Syria, the US began funding and weaponizing various sects of Al-Qaeda groups to create a social disturbance under a facade of a civil war. When all was summed up something like 28 terrorist sect groups were or had been funded by a combination of the CIA and US military. Add on the White Helmets and a fake mash unit also funded by an English billionaire. At some points even fighting each other, total chaos. Essentially forcing the civilians into a war by over running local governments. This while ISIS was able to move into what became their caliphate. Long story short. These groups were then used to fight ISIS when the Syrian government with the help of Russia began pushing them out of the cities they destroyed with the help of western coalition bombing. Eventually many of those in these groups realigned with other groups and or ISIS. The articles I sent you can fill in the pieces.

However I lost it in a crash and been having a hard time finding it to pass on. But you might find it there. I don't do the Patreon thing myself.

William_Mary replies on Jan 11, 2020:

Often the problem with food and material donations are the vast amount brought it. Storing the over load becomes costly, food becomes rotten, the earlier issue becomes nest material while rodents feast on the latter issue. Then comes the fraudulent conduct of private foundations and philanthropies. In which 2 places of more recent history you might now be thinking of Haiti and Puerto Rico. Waste of money within known aide foundations via over paid CEO's and area managers. Pick yours very carefully! Often unorganized while in effected areas where people who need help the most don't get it, and or, biased application is the chosen pattern. Which way do you go?

Washington escalates Mideast war threat with strikes on Iraq, Syria [wsws.

SeanMoore comments on Jan 2, 2020:

The USA is bombing Iraq again? That certainly turned out well before. Except for the 15 year war in Iraq with 3500 American soldiers and a million Iraqis killed.

William_Mary replies on Jan 4, 2020:

It, Iraq, now serves as a battle ground for the US imperialist against Iran. Go ahead and send troops in now. Our families will be fighting both Iraqis and Iranians. And the Iranians will send a lot more than 5000 home in body bags. This is what a war built on lies in the first place have taken us to! The question now is, are the American people going to sacrifice their families over those lies again for the profits of the military complex and capital system who are the only beneficial entities?

Why add Carter? To me he is easily the best president you guys have had in my 72 year lifetime. Kennedy, not Carter.

William_Mary replies on Jan 2, 2020:

Carter got his hands dirty in the Afghan issues that lead to the support of Operation Cyclone. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Cyclone The people of Afghanistan who grew tired of a corrupt government lead an uprising to go back to being a socialist government. and signing a treaty with the Soviet Union. And of course the familiar story of mass murder and flipping the narrative towards cold war agendas became the lead to 9/11 and today's events in that region. Carter essentially allowed himself via the CIA and Charlie Wilson to become the father of the interference in those countries leading to supporting and funding terrorist groups over diplomacy. Kennedy had his flaws in Cuba and Latin America also. If he really wanted to expose the CIA for what they were, Central America would have provided a good deal of pause for the American people.

America Will Likely Experience a Social Breakdown in the 2020s [ghionjournal.

Of course it will breakdown. It will collapse financially at any moment once people ever figure out the truth.

William_Mary replies on Jan 1, 2020:

The people are blissfully going about their simple lives. As that, what is happening out there will not happen to me, delusion engulfs them. A large amount of people don't even think, know, or hear about these issues. The main stream media tells them the economy is good and growing, the market is up and breaking records in some areas on some days. To many 2008 was just a blip where, if they are in a certain class or hold a position in which they have small market interest, lost about a 1/3 of their value. Some may even believe they actually got it back by now. That's the problem in a nut shell. Because millions of people who lost everything in 2008 were on another ship beside theirs went it went down. And the same wave is coming back around that can effect them this time filtering down to family and friends around them. This is what the results of their social conditioning have brought us. Our culture no longer relies on initiatives or innovation to embody a social construct towards advancing our society. For over 5 decades democracy has been torn down and society has been targeted within a systematic conditioning that has lead us to having little to no time to consider those we share society with to a large degree. We blissfully put ourselves in a place of tribalism at times when the media forces us to do so now, in the small amount of time we spend observing it, which has allowed them to create and choose what they want us to see and hear. We have lost the sight in which those around us outside the US still have and are fighting now. They are managing to keep themselves informed! They are fighting against what we have already become! In Latin and South America, they are fighting against what we have done to their neighboring countries. Those people are united! While we have essentially already surrendered and will merely fall divided. Our truth for most part will not come until the morning they wake up and find the bottom fell out during the night, or is presently falling as they drive to work. Just as it happened in 2008.

Campaign against Sanders on ‘antisemitism’ for his criticism of Israel begins in earnest

William_Mary comments on Dec 29, 2019:

@altschmerz well he's most likely going to go through pretty much the same smear campaign Corbyn went through. Warren also. He needs to pick a structured side and stick to it if he were genuine.

It's a joke. Just read Biden will refuse if subpoenaed by the GOP to testify at an impeachment trial. Apparently scared it will divert attention away from Trump.

William_Mary replies on Dec 29, 2019:

Biden however reversed his decision yesterday in Iowa during campaigning. I imagine his handlers explained how it looks to the public if he chose to commit the same offense of refusing a subpoena as those from previous hearings after using that against them and Trump. He however continued on managing the narrative of course, I don't do the same wrong as the other guy, while at the same time attempting to contradict his previous statements by stating he was setting the record right by explaining himself. In other words, his words, clarifying himself. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/biden-clarifies-after-saying-he-wouldnt-comply-with-impeachment-related-subpoena/ar-BBYqa3e

Should we ever believe what our government says about another government, especially one it likes regarding as an enemy?

William_Mary replies on Dec 25, 2019:

@rogerbenham my sources, for the most part, eliminate the right left divisional divided conflict covering the essence of issues. They, I, don't allow the distinction of either side which hinders the amount of information or entrapment to one or the other which leads to false perceptions, willing ignorance in compliance, or blissful acceptance to acts both sides commit, leading to a delusional reality. The Ukrainegate and Russiagate issues would be a perfect example of most recent events which have captured the public attention for the past 3 years. Where my main 2 sources on these issues have been Consortium News and Mint Press News that have exposed those issues as both being misleading and vastly lacking factual information in which both the right and left are compliant in developing a delusional reality to cover up each others crimes and unethical actions. The border issues which has vastly left the news cycle. Jeffery Epstein. The war on terrorism, recently Afghanistangate, the entire Middle East and African, especially North Africa, the entire Latin America problem. Truth does not conflict with truth or facts when all the information is provided to develop an intellectual opinion. Conflict only occurs when more information is provided or discovered. Closed minds create the conflict when one refuses to examine new information. Tribal politics are designed to create that conflict. Each person has the ability to either play a part in the conflict or intellectually weigh all information to avoid it within the factual truth through the information provided. But when most of the population is reliant on one side or the others managed reality without proper examination of all information, there in comes the political conflict creating ignorant voters. Each side refusing to examine facts that are presented no matter who provided those facts and information. The tribes listen only to their chosen glorified politician or news caster unwilling to accept the possibility the storm is coming because another tribe running from it provided the information. We have hard working independent investigative journalist who have been harking on this problem for decades now who can't get their work released to main stream sources because of the entrapment system they are caught in. Who many came from that very system out of disgust even though it meant leaving a lucrative career. They chose dignity and integrity over money and systematic perception management. The other conflict is getting the right and left to these sources.

William_Mary replies on Dec 21, 2019:

@altschmerz well look how Obama came upon us, forced on us, and then what he became. Look at who he supposedly went up against in 2008. Who he then made his SOS. Then she became the 2016 candidate who through a rigged system took out Sanders and brought us Trump. You might see a correlation of ending results if you think it out. Clinton held as much power in world politics as SOS by most means. As does a republican Senate. Look at the effects of it on our country. The resource in India is at the moment swimming in an atmosphere of nationalism within a fascist nature that isn't much different than our own right now. I wouldn't consider him or her to be looking at us from a different perspective, but from the same perspective within a more diverse religious society. In which some are under attack today within a country undergoing major changes. Decency in politics is often well hidden until you've been called on towards leadership of the deception. Obama is the poster child or horrific lessons learned on this. I still have a bad taste in my mouth from 2016 to want to think about taking another bite off Sanders catering.

Deborah Wasserman Schultz, she was the Chair of the DNC in 2016 until she was forced to resign at Obama's request when Wikileaks exposed the emails that were leaked by an insider. Along with it coming out that questions in the debates were being leaked to Clinton before hand. Halting the Sanders' campaign's access to DNC databases on bogus charges for nearly 2 days. In which one of his staffers, on his own accord, actually tried to gain access to a restricted data base. Rescinding a prior ban on corporate donations and accusing Sanders supporters of violence at the Nevada Convention.

William_Mary replies on Dec 21, 2019:

Her problem was her time in California. Those who actually follow politics close enough to know her history there, or wise enough to research her when she stepped out into the national light, took pause on what they learned. We are beholden to the ignorant though when a vast number of us vote within their ignorance! Those who desire a woman president without intellectual knowledge of the woman, add African American to that in this case. Clinton in 2008 then again in 2016. Those willing to over look the history or trapped in the delusional reality painted by the establishment and main stream media flock to a conditioned social desire, rather than a well coordinated measure of acceptableness. I desire a country more of a socialist nature. Which in 2016 I believed Sanders was the one to begin leading us out of the inequality devastating our country today. Along with many other failing aspects we face today. But as the primary and debates of 2016 progressed it became apparent Sanders wasn't entirely putting up a legitimate attempt to fight for his supporters, himself, or the country. I began questioning him during the second debate, by the forth it was clear he didn't have a genuine heart. I'll end that there. You know the rest of the story as I now consider him just another political con artist. Her campaign ended because the DNC and democrats have created a field of over 20 candidates which spread out all those people I spoke of above. Some of them moving on due to discovery, some due to manipulation by the media and narrative control of the debates. Which include manufactured polling where people tend to a need to follow the fan wagon. Harris was essentially a cash cow out of the gate for the DNC anyways. The establishment wasn't going to allow her to become the president with Biden being the apparent chosen one for now. And her campaign was beginning to eat away at the money it brought in. She out lived her usefulness. And has been replaced with other potential establishment figures who in the case Biden falters can replace him.

You're an idiot for asking me to rewrite the article, or any part of it, as prove the article is legitimate. If I thought the article lacked substance or legitimacy I wouldn't post it. So your essentially attacking me as a measure to some means. You're always a constant one liner of negativity who never offers any substantial debate in any forum you take a need to be heard on. Congratulations on outing yourself, again. I'm sure you get much of your desired notoriety from people just like yourself.
