From Obama to Trump: the Grand Deception of Cyclical Change YesTheyCon [ghionjournal.

Lydiaeli comments on Jun 6, 2018:

I like the point about not finding identity through politics. A temptation for all people, regardless of politics. So, where do you find your identity?

William_Mary replies on Jun 6, 2018:

Political identity? I would suggest the first thing to do is to weigh your position on what you see and hear that's going on around you, the world. I'm in the same boat as the writer of this article, Teodrose Fikre, with Obama even. I voted for change. 2 years with all 3 houses under his belt and the democrats sat on their hands. Imagine what they could have done if they used the same trickery the republicans use while in power. Change rules on the floor while voting, force a majority vote in the senate, for gods sake, create an investigation into suspicious actions. You never hear of the democrats forcing an investigation into anything anymore!?! All we got was, I'm willing to work with the republicans. How many times did we hear that even though as Obama was being sworn in they were already supposedly working against him. He followed foot lock in step with the agenda Bush left him. They are as they say, 2 wings on the same bird. Sanders con was my last straw. Quite frankly, if anyone came out of the last election cycle without realizing we are being hood winked by the entire system, they're totally ignorant to the realm of reality of what's being perpetrated onto mankind. It takes a lot of work to start getting that picture of reality. And the most important thing to do is to get yourself better news sources! Outside of the main stream media from independent sources that aren't being bought by the 6 billionaires that own over 90% of the news most Americans get. Once you start weighing in what you learn from those sources compared to the MSM, you can start to develop a new identity that fits your, dare I say soul, here. So to speak, if I may. I think that's what he means when he says, (For God’s sake, learn to think for yourself and be independent!) We already have our identity. But within politics many of us are letting the MSM and the establishment dictate what they want us to think and know. When there's a totally different reality out there being hidden from us.

The Real Venezuela Is Not What You Think [venezuelanalysis.com]

OldGoat43 comments on Jun 1, 2018:

Yes, it is interesting but it sounds slanted in one direction without any corroboration or opposing views.

William_Mary replies on Jun 2, 2018:

The article starts out with a relative statement in favor of one of our own past presidents statements, Jimmy Carter, claiming he witnessed an election favoring Carter's statement. In which he then goes into a litany of many aspects of claims and oppressive tactics used by governments and the opposition party there, giving a measured opinion why one would find reason to pause to each. (But you never hear the voices of these poor people in the U.S. press. You never hear their side of the story, how they have benefitted from the Bolivarian Revolution and how desperately they do not want to go back to how things were before.) As you stated, we also do not get both sides to the story from our MSM, as he made clear towards the end of the article. At least he added what they, the MSM, do give you with a rebuttal of reasoning to give you a chance to develop an opinion for yourself to find a plausible reason to pause. We don't get that from our MSM. We only get what they want you to think. And then he finishes off with the ultimate reasoning why you only get that from our MSM and government. In which our history has much evidence of, and still growing! (While they have been given a voice in Venezuela, it remains muzzled in this country, and by a press which passes off pro-intervention and pro-war propaganda as journalism. It is no wonder the United States continues to careen into one disastrous military adventure after another.)

Interesting, but who funds this media?

William_Mary replies on Jun 2, 2018:

Venezuelanalysis.com is a left-leaning, pro-Bolivarian Revolution news website.[1] Its founder Gregory Wilpert said in 2007 that the site had received funding from the Venezuelan government along with grassroots donations, and had mutual support agreements with other groups, such as Green Left Weekly.[2] According to the website (2014), it relies entirely on reader donations.[3] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venezuelanalysis Gregory Wilpert is also currently a producer for The Real News Network in Quito, Ecuador. Which is, not primarily Ecuador's, one of my most trusted news sources. Founded by Paul Jay, a Canadian and American source with branches globally. Also self funding and out of reach of the establishment agenda.

William_Mary replies on May 26, 2018:

The PAC money is to ensure the status quo keep power by drowning out any real progressives from being able to gain any ground. And the MSM is their tool to reduce the chances of the population from knowing they have other choices. I would argue Sanders was a major blow back for them! A fixed shrill put out as a fake candidate against Clinton they had no idea we socialist and left leaning progressives would so strongly stand behind and donate our money to. The grass within the grass roots movement became so high they had to criminally, visually, steal that primary with all the nation watching. Outing themselves to a point of the circus still being waged today within fake accusations and investigations. Even drawing Britain in as a measure of justifying it with another falsity along with their Russian narrative. As I mentioned in another post this morning, all roads lead directly to the Clinton's in all aspects of the entire election cycle, yet she and Bill's actions during it have not been touched by any entity of our checks and balance system. One would think with the way the republicans over the years have seemingly been at war with the Clinton's all these years, they would use the gold mine of occurrences during that election cycle to wage a number of investigations. Nota, silche, crickets. Sanders is a democrat still spewing his con we all know now, Trump let Hillieary off, as did the republicans, and there's a fake war between our intelligence agencies and Trump. And the majority of the population is still stuck in the illusion that the MSM keeps alive. We are slowly making progress, to slowly?

I don't think Hedges has any intent for a violent revolution, as he is quite religious, a Presbyterian Minister. Very out spoken towards war and it's effects, especially on the population such as ours today.

He also describes how those who experience war may find it exhilarating and addictive". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_Is_a_Force_That_Gives_Us_Meaning

William_Mary replies on May 24, 2018:

@Theskeptic Visibility? Is that because they don't get the amount of money from entities such as wall street and corporations selling their fake ideology to force on us? In which then our MSM would cover them more. For me to get visibility I have added as many of their local and national people and groups to my facehack page to keep up with them. If I didn't, I wouldn't even know they exist. For example, during this primary cycle I haven't heard of the MSM mention even 1 Green Party member being on a ballot across the nation as of today. That's by design! That's the whole problem with our voters today. They are going into the system totally managed by the establishment and MSM without having done any necessary research to vote for their best interest. They are in fact voting for what they are told to vote for by their selected party. Because I have these groups and people on my facehack page, I know they have a number of meetings and social activities in my area on pretty much a monthly basis, to talk about issues and other activities that I'm not going to find on MSM or any local news paper. I know Jill Stein holds a video talk session about once a month also. If we want change we have to work for it. Because the establishment and deep state aren't going to announce or promote it for us. They like us being managed just the way most are.

We have the party in my opinion. The Green Party. All it needs is the same grass roots support we gave Sanders. It has the roots and the floor mate most Americans want and is ripe for development to our discretion. I believe there are a lot of people, especially main street business, that are waiting for us to finally get serious about change before they put their head out there. No one wants to be the next Eugene Debs in this atmosphere unless they see some serious want for change.

I rarely see us men giving out good vibes in that regard. Hence my initial comment. And they, you women, are out numbered something like 10 to 1. It's a no brainer women are going to get more contact. Which leads to your statement on the poly issue. Dudes have to have something to keep a harem happy. I wonder what that is.

I'm not getting a hit on any of my sites for that accusation, I got a ton of hits from right wing sites, and a few from MSM sites. And the 2 or 3 MSM sites even cautiously used the word "alleged" in their opening lines. And knowing how any organization that in the past has tried to help the Palestinians in any manor have been branded as a terrorist organization, I reserve to back that claim. I do agree there is a power structure from both sides using the Palestinians as a means to keep their own agenda going though. Which I argue needs to be addressed by the world community and the international court.

I feel so sad for you! To be so lost in the illusion of a managed perception of false manipulation and brainwashing. On a place some decades ago was self abstaining consisting of some of the best doctors and professors and decent societies of the world. A place where many abroad use to go to attend collage because of those professors and doctors. A place I remember reading about in the 80s when both these people struggled to understand what and why the winds of change was going on with their neighbors they had live beside and shared life with for decades. Obviously with that generation gone, so is the truth of its history. Your attempt to replace that history with what it's like there today is disgusting. Your attempt to ignore and justify the slaughter of a people with your ignorant or purposeful analysis is horrific and down right frightening to a civilized society. While you are incorrectly able of placing a murderous agenda onto the victims while at the same time find justice for the oppressors committing the murders.

I always felt that Jimmy Carter had too much of his faith in religion which made him appear soft in the eyes of the public. I liked him but don't believe he had what it takes to be president.

William_Mary replies on May 13, 2018:

I think Carter fell into the gap between a time before and today's move towards colonial globalism. I often claim Carter was one of the best presidents we've had since JFK. I believe the Deep State began it's move when JFK was president, he was getting to real for the upcoming agenda. This is the era GHWB, Cheney, and Rumsfeld began making their power run and mark on society, worldwide. Carter also being to realistic to allow another 4 years. I mean, for christ sakes, what was he thinking when he put solar panels on the white house!?! When we have decades left of petroleum making material in the ground to lay waste to the planet and pockets to drain. Yea, he took the religion aspect of his life to serious for them to allow to carry on. An aspect of life they all use to propel themselves higher but really don't believe in. They knew via the bush family that the Saudi's were in the bag with the agenda. What's a little hiccup in the 70's when all you need is to get the right puppet masquerading as a leader, Reagan, you can control while aggressively starting the agenda. Carter was an obstacle for being more of what we would want today. Although he was forced to play the agenda game in the middle east to a point, which ultimately was used to set him up for failure. Yea, they did a good job of making him look bad.

William_Mary replies on May 12, 2018:

I argue that the Libertarian and Green Party's are viable 3rd party's. At the present time I am supporting only the Green Party candidates, since Sanders betrayal. My hope was Sanders would be able to start a reform of the democratic party within an 8 year period. Lets face it, you're not going to change that party in a short period after decades of it being bought out. State, local and national, it's bought. And after how the 2016 election cycle went down, it's here to stay the way it is. That leaves only 2 ways to go now. By way of the Libertarian Party, which is basically another conservative Tea Party who wants to privatize as much as possible, leading to destruction of social programs, less middle class, and more poverty. And quite frankly, when a party puts out a candidate so totally ignorant on foreign affairs and leaders, it scares the fuck out of me! Or the Green Party, which has the ability to be built by community leaders, activist, and main street business. It's the only party that doesn't have a hoard of big money corporations drooling for power. All it would take to get the Green Party to the top is the same grass roots support we gave to take Sanders to the top. Get them in and we have the ability with the help of those I mention to reform politics in this country.

@Gareth yea, I'm not going to spend more time beating a dead horse over this. All you're doing, it seems to me, is going in circles in which you keep making my case. For the discovery of finding solutions to any matter there can be no "well defined discipline". I give you, Albert Einstein. As you refer to standards again, supposedly agreed to by the field. If Einstein had inhered to a discipline and standards of the scientific community in his time, in which they criticized his theory of relativity, it could have become impossible for him to further the knowledge of that same scientific community. Maybe they should have imprisoned him or put him under house arrest for the remainder of his years as was the case for Galileo. How dare he go against the standards of the churches beliefs! He should be more disciplined!?! "Philosophical inquiry ought not to be subjected to pre-conditions or rules". Exactly. If your main goal is to advance knowledge it can't have restraints.

@Gareth this kind of makes my case, or I should say theory. Philosophy is a study of matters. Standards would be a set of protocol to follow. That's what I see when I read your post. But to you, I'm wrong. You're already attempting to set your standards on me towards my ideal of philosophy as incorrect. This contradicts the ability of a group to toss ideas at each other if only your standard is applied. Limiting the ability to progress knowledge if one standard is enforced to the group. That is a controlled maintenance in my opinion.

I would imagine you're referring to the Iran-Contra affair during the Reagan administration. Oliver North was the most major player to be convicted in that era of the "I don't recall" statement that was overly used by several on the witness stand during those trials. Reagan being the biggest user! I would argue the governments in these areas as being the guard dog for corporations there doing these crimes.

Is a democrat who is a centrist also a leftist or socialist ?

A Democrat who is a centrist is also known as a Libertarian. As is a Republican who is a centrist.

@ILikeToREEE "capitalism has been the greatest source of prosperity and freedom humanity has ever witnessed." Yea, for the wealthy class it has. Obviously you're missing where capitalism is running out of fuel to support itself. Which has lead us to global warring in an attempt to sustain itself at the cost of human suffering. Yea, lets talk about human suffering. "Don't get me started on the immorality of social programs... or anything else that's federally funded." Yea, lets talk about the social programs that, again, work best for the wealthy. Like bailouts for banks and corporations at tax payer expense. And subsidies at tax payer expense to multi million and billion dollar profiting companies. Which I would also add to the above as a proof capitalism can't survive on it's own without taking from those they find to be lowly. Also leading to, yea, human suffering.

@AnneWimsey and those that know the history know it's a lie in both cases. If you look up the people that started the libertarian party, you'd get a quick realization they'd like to hand everything over to corporations, same as republicans. Destroy as many social programs as they could get away with. Thom Hartmann gives a good rant on the history on libertarians from time to time.

William_Mary replies on Apr 29, 2018:

That's part of it, to various aspects. But there is also a political aspect to it also. There is presently an attempt of large scale socialist democratic leaders being pushed out by right wing politicians in bed with the westernized global force. More so is the fight against unions and activist killings. People are living in fear to speak while being suppressed to do so. It's not uncommon for night raids to happen in these counties, people disappearing or killed in the middle of the night. A lot of it is economic also from the results of our interference from decades of installing puppet governments, and or the interference the CIA runs, also again, westernized global force, in countries like Venezuela. The surrender of FARC has left communities open to attack by government forces also. They more recently attacked a farming community after backing out of an agreement to help that community switch from going from coca farming to other crops. I guess planting their dead body's to the ground was cheaper?

I actually don't see a lot of this happening all TO soon. Our entire social structure is developed on the first industrial age. And when you go to the east coast, it's even well before that time. Automatize trucking doesn't have a chance in a lot of east coast cities. Or a lot of metropolitan areas period. I think we might actually being going backwards in a lot of areas. And this middle east thing is causing that. We really need to get out of that to move forward. The powers to be are going to ride it out like it is as long as they can just like using petroleum products. It's what keeps us in check for them. And they aren't anywhere close to wanting only 2 classes of citizens yet. Take a look at what's in mind compared to what we live today. https://www.arconic.com/thefuture/

@WizardBill via newsweek The most recent court hearing on the case was held on April 25, during which the DNC reportedly argued that the organization's neutrality among Democratic campaigns during the primaries was merely a "political promise," and therefore it had no legal obligations to remain impartial throughout the process---http://www.newsweek.com/bernie-sanders-rigged-hillary-clinton-dnc-lawsuit-donald-trump-president-609582 per The Washington Post--Bruce Spiva, representing the DNC, made the argument that would eventually carry the day: that it was impossible to determine who would have standing to claim they had been defrauded. But as he explained how the DNC worked, Spiva made a hypothetical argument that the party wasn’t really bound by the votes cast in primaries or caucuses. “The party has the freedom of association to decide how it’s gonna select its representatives to the convention and to the state party,” said Spiva. “Even to define what constitutes evenhandedness and impartiality really would already drag the court well into a political question and a question of how the party runs its own affairs. The party could have favored a candidate. I’ll put it that way.” In other words, they don't have to follow their own written rules. They (the rules) are a deception and now viewed as a promise they have the right to break. Openly admitted in court. In which the court dismissed the case because it would take to long to argue and sort out. https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/when-is-a-russian-hack-not-a-hack-evidence-suggests-dnc-email-hack-was-an-inside-job/article/2631267 https://consortiumnews.com/2017/07/24/intel-vets-challenge-russia-hack-evidence/ There is more evidence to backing up an inside leak than to any hack ever provided. Everything towards a hack has all been pure accusations. And the refusal to allow access to the server speaks loudly. https://consortiumnews.com/2016/12/12/us-intel-vets-dispute-russia-hacking-claims/ Leak: When someone physically takes data out of an organization and gives it to some other person or organization, as Edward Snowden and Chelsea Manning did. Hack: When someone in a remote location electronically penetrates operating systems, firewalls or any other cyber-protection system and then extracts data. All signs point to leaking, not hacking. If hacking were involved, the National Security Agency would know it – and know both sender and recipient. In short, since leaking requires physically removing data – on a thumb drive, for example – the only way such data can be copied and removed, with no electronic trace of what has left the server, is via a physical storage device.

William_Mary replies on Apr 21, 2018:

@WizardBill What's conjecture? I've read articles on everything I mentioned. I'll be glad to dig them up if you have a certain aspect you believe I'm pulling out of my ass. I can look up the DNC court findings where their lawyers argument was that the DNC aren't held to hold a fair and impartial primary. Essentially admitting they can and did on their own go against voters choice and propelled Clinton to win in a biased manor. I can dig up articles of X Agents, one I think was McGovern, who backs the theory of leak not hack. Outside of my opinion of the DOJ being totally useless, I'm basing my opinions on that in which I have read and history of our governments past quagmires over several decades. Nothing I said above is there that a simple search on google that one can't find the very article and others that I've read over time. Personally, I use DuckDuckGo's no tracking site.

William_Mary replies on Apr 21, 2018:

Point 1- It's been over a year and a half with no evidence or indication the Russian government has been exposed as having done anything they are being accused of. The lie that 17 of our intelligence agencies having all concluded they hacked the DNC was debunked to only actually being 3. Top X intelligence agents and collages that work in computer technology have all confirmed that the information taken from the DNC had to be done from a download, not a hack. I repeat, NOT A HACK. A download from one of their servers on the east coast. Stating there was no way a hack could have downloaded as fast as the information was gathered from the data base. Point 2- The DNC beginning in 2016 claims the Russians have been hacking into their system from 2014 into the 2016 election cycle. It took 2 years for this information to come to light? Or it is a lie being used to manage the perception of their corruption? This was a job for the DOJ (Department of Justice) starting in 2014 if it's indeed a fact, and should still be the job of the DOJ today. Not a job after needing a reason to cover their tracks of running a corrupt primary election cycle they got caught in. The tax payers are now flipping the bill for a special investigation that will cost millions, if not billions, over an issue the DOJ should have been on top of from the very beginning no matter what god dam year it was! This isn't about Clinton losing to Trump as they are making it out to be. It's about how the DNC under the direction of Clinton DWS and the entire DNC orchestrated a rigged primary cycle against their own rules and took the Sanders campaign money we donated afterwards. It's a fucking illusion that was purposely built to avoid the real truth from going any further than it has. And both party's are working this illusion together. And the other issue never brought up that's being covered up, is if this is indeed all fact, the DOJ and our intelligence agencies are unable to do their jobs to protect us, period. Let that sink in for a moment, if you need a moment. They want me to believe that the most best equipped intelligence agencies on the planet with more than 2 years time can't handle and stop hacking into our political committees without digging up a shred of decent proof of who's doing it or from where? Then they need to quit trying to bury Wiki Leaks and hire them instead!

I don't trust the US government, but I also don't trust Russia, either. & tho any "regime change" in Syria is not up to us, I don't trust Assad or his government in the slightest. They are all culpable of war crimes, fact manipulation & brutality.

William_Mary replies on Apr 17, 2018:

Yea I hear you. But in Assad defense, there's no real proof or evidence of any accusations of any time. Take to mind what he has on his shoulders, same as Saddom did. You can't be an angel dealing with these groups as it is sometimes. Then add on the chaos being purposefully created by outside western governments with an agenda. Extremely making matters worse. I'm on my tablet right now or I'd post an article of an X CIA agent who spent time with Hussain while he was in jail questioning him several times. We don't need another Iraq like Hussain warned. We had no problems in Syria until they were created. He was and still is liked my most of the Syrian people. And there were no real bitches until his country fell in line for the next agenda move.

@DenoPenno I hear you Deno. But at the same time I think he knows exactly what he's doing. He's doing exactly what Clinton wanted to do. Because that's what their owners wanted done. He's in the position he's in for going against Clinton on this issue. Yet here we are, in the very issue he claimed he was against, with another broken campaign promise. He was another surprise win over Clinton just as Obama was. Clinton was suppose to be in the chair of all chairs. This not only solidifies that voting can turn the table in DC, but also solidifies that both party establishments do as their oligarchy owners want. We're just not voting in the right party to change it!
