A Question About the People Protesting Trump

I was reading a New York Times article about how the protestors were working out their plans in strip malls weeks in advance of his coming. I thought that was odd, who is paying for the space? If they can afford the space then why don't they have pre-printed signs? Oh, yeah and how come the organizations funding the protests don't have to register as Political Action Committees? While those are all good questions, I have a better one, why didn't these people protest the wars in Arabia? Now that is a real good question because the protestors love to have signs that say, "No hate in our state" and some claim that they don't like the fact that Trump wants to limit people from Muslim countries coming here. If they care so much about the Muslims, why didn't they protest us bombing them?

Here is another question, when Cruz's SuperPac put out adds attacking Trump's wife, why didn't the media take Cruz to task; but, when Trump said that if Cruz was going to discuss wives, Cruz himself should be real careful? Yet the media has been talking for days about how Trump may have crossed the line? What line, Cruz's SuperPac actually televised this anti-Trump ad.

YouTube - Trump’s Wife's Nudes Are Being Using Against Him

So this story came out about a peaceful protestor who got pepper sprayed at a Trump rally; but, that story is not quite right. In fact the women punched a much older man in the face and then got pepper sprayed. The women who got pepper sprayed later claimed that the man she hit had fondled her. I have a question about that, you see the woman had been in a screaming match with the Trump supporters before hitting the man and he was in front of her but not close when she hit him. So if you watch the video you have to ask yourself, how long did she wait before she hit him because he doesn't even touch her in the video taken just prior to her hitting him, how did he get so far away before she came at him and hit him, she had to really reach out to hit him and oddly enough nobody who was there said the man had touched her. Now here is the funny part, the police are only investigating who pepper sprayed her and whether or not she was groped. Why aren't they charging her with battery for hitting the man? Simple answer, he didn't file a claim against her. He could have; but, he did not. Still, the police have the video evidence and should have charged her with battery; but, they didn't.

I have to say something, I don't particularly like Trump. Clearly I wrote that I had been for Sanders and no longer supported him because he acted like a cheap politician when it came to Trump. The thing is that while all the Republicans I know support Trump, they don't particularly like him either. What they care about is American jobs coming back. It is that simple. For reasons that I prefer not to go into, I am no longer sure that I could support Trump either. It has nothing to do with his wanting to halt and limit immigration, it has nothing to do with any of his policies, though I disagree with many of them. My reason involves a spiritual question that I prefer not to discuss at the moment. If Trump were to get elected and bring peace to the middle east, then I will discuss my questions. Still, I am bothered by all the propaganda and dirty tricks against Trump being used by the right and the left. I think it exposes their hypocrisy. I really don't like Trump supporters being compared to Nazis when most of my friends support Trump and had family members fight the Nazis. My dead uncle fought on Iwo Jima during World War II. He would have supported Trump, my dad would have too and he was highly decorated in the Korean war and hated communism and the Nazis. Here is a poll that was taken and never published, how many of you who support Trump thought we should not have fought Nazi Germany in World War II. I guarantee this poll was taken and will never be released. How do I know this, they took polls to see how many of Trumps followers thought the south should have won the civil war. How bout this question, how many Trump supporters fought in World War II compared to the other candidates. That poll was taken too, the polls asked people's age, that means the pollsters knew how many of Trumps supporters had lived through World War II.

Water Lies and Theft

YouTube - 7News - Denver investigating underground water storage.  Keep an eye on all stories about water, something interesting and wrong is happening. Denver is now looking into underground water storage in case of drought. Why is this interesting, simple, why go to all the expense of storing water underground when you can store it above ground for much less.

Fox - State of California flouts its own enviro laws, claims county threatening multi-million-dollar suit.  Okay, Caltrans drills tiny little holes so see what the groundwater levels are and many counties want them to obtain permits to "protect" the groundwater. In Sacramento they claim they are concerned about the Sacramento delta; but, that is not below ground. What might be interesting is to find out how much groundwater has been taken and the condition of the water table.

Fox - Supreme Court appears skeptical about feds applying Clean Water Act to family biz properties.

Christian Science Monitor - Debate over water rights intensifies as Saudis buy up swaths of US farmland.  The short of the story is that Saudi Arabia is buying up desert property and draining the groundwater to grow alfalfa in the desert and then shipping the alfalfa overseas. I will ask a question that I have asked before, why are people allowed to take water during a drought and send it or its products overseas when the rest of us must ration water and not even water our lawns? Think about it.

Garry Shandling R.I.P.

I like comedies and find comedians to be very interesting people. I am amazed at how many comedians are shy, fiscal conservatives and often sad people in real life. Garry Shandling seemed different, I know that he was known for his kindness, pretty rare in such a competitive industry. He is regarded by other comedians to be one of the best standup comedians ever; but, I don't think standup is where he shined the most, I think he could tell a good story and his television shows were groundbreaking and amazing.

Shandling did one of the first scripted shows on HBO, the Larry Sanders Show. It was about a make believe late night talk show and mixed drama with comedy in a way that would have scared off most comedians. It was also so original that it should not be forgotten. I went on YouTube and got the finale of the show and I am going to provide a link to it. If you don't know much about him, watch the show and if you know him well, watch the show and remember him.

More Mass Media Propaganda

I went out last night for dinner with two friends of mine, we had a really great dinner and a pleasant conversation. Once again talk turned partly to politics. As I have written before I tend to be a bit of a socialist; but, my friends tend to be very conservative. In fact, all my Republican friends are supporting Trump. I mention this because the media tends to portray Trump supporters as fascist, Nazis that hate women and wish the south had won the civil war. I find this strange as none of the people I know that support have any of those beliefs and most of them are very well educated, not low information. While my friends and I may disagree about politics and policy, the fact of the matter is that my friends are just that because they are considerate, generous and loving people. The media doesn't like presenting them that way because it doesn't fit the desperate corporate media whose masters want only the puppets that they select for President.

Recently I read two articles that claimed that people were disillusioned with the process used to select a President. One implied it was because Trump was winning, the other pointed out that people were disillusioned because there is open discussion of manipulating the process to deny both Sanders and Trump a fair count based on votes and the open plan to change the rules of the Republican convention and go as far as putting up a candidate who hadn't even run for President. It should not be surprising that Republicans began losing more and more faith in the process right after all the articles and reports came out saying how the party establishment was going to rig the race to broker the convention.

The media is not a free media, it works for giant conglomerates and it's number one goal is to support those corporate interests and not to inform the public; but, instead to manipulate the public. That is what is truly sad about this election.

How To Stop Trump Winning Easilly

There is a very simple way for the Republicans to stop Trump from winning the election. Promise to not give any more tax breaks to the rich and give them to the middle class instead. Oh yeah and penalize companies for outsourcing jobs and refuse to give them ANY tax breaks. With all the talk by pundits about getting rid of Trump by violating the voters rights, why aren't they discussing jobs? Hillary won't do it, Cruz and Kasich think the solution is lower pay for Americans and bigger tax breaks for the wealthy, we have been doing that for 30 years and it has only resulted in fewer jobs that pay less. People are not voting for Trump because they love him personally, they are voting for him because the rest of the establishment has left them out to twist in the wind. Think about it.

Violence at Trump Rallies and the Media Spin

There was a rally for Donald Trump in Tucson, Arizona at which a protester wearing a Ku Klux Klan hood was hit by a black Trump supporter. The media's take on it was that there was more violence at a Trump rally. Hmmm. Now Trump has been accused of being racist and having racist supporters, he has also been called upon by the media to disavow the KKK (something which he never supported in the first place or that would have come out). Why now ignore the part of the story about how the protestors are wearing klan hoods (this is not the first time). Are you really that surprised that a black man might find that offensive and hit the person wearing the hood?

YouTube Arizona Daily Star - This is how mainstream media reported what happened.

YouTube - The Daily Spectator. This is a little more information and you get to see what the man's friend in the above video was wearing, a Klan hood.

In the second video you hear Donald Trump say there is a disgusting man in a Klan hood. Does that sound like he supports the Klan? If he thinks the Klan is disgusting and says so at his rally, why doesn't that make the news?

Cuba, China and Jobs

President Obama has travelled to Cuba, the first President to do so in about 90 years and the media has serious questions about this, my question is why. When Nixon went to China the press was excited and glowed over the event in non-stop coverage. How is this any different? The media complains that Cuba is a communist dictatorship, yet, China is still a communist dictatorship. Heck, we have a history of supporting dictators, remember Ferdinand Marcos or the Shah of Iran. When we like dictators we call them Kings and Queens, when we don't like them we call them dictators.

I want to get back to the issue of China. Do you find it odd that we increased the outsourcing of jobs to China after they killed and jailed people in Tiananmen square. Heck, again, China is one of the most oppressive governments in the world; but, this is rarely discussed by the media. As far as being militaristic, when is the last time Cuba invaded anywhere? Now, when is the last time we invaded anywhere? I am not a Cuba supporter; but, I seriously question why we have this double standard in how we deal with Cuba (not at all) and how we deal with China (we send them millions of American jobs).

After World War II and the communists taking over China (killing over 60 million of their own people) we waited about 30 years before opening up relationships with China. At the time we were told that it had been to long, that we could not ignore the political reality of China being communist and about their important cultural history. It has been around 60 years since we broke relationship with Cuba, yet, none of the same arguments are made about that country. Why not? Why the hypocrisy and inconsistency?

Why do we give tax breaks to companies that outsource jobs to China and why do we allow the to export products to America when they have taxes on American products sold in China? If we do that with China then why do we not allow any exports from Cuba? Why is it that we hear so little about how China jails people for going to church or how they brutally kill and torture Tibetan monks? As you hear and read more and more about Cuba, I want my readers to ask the bigger questions.

How the Establishment Continues to Rig the Game.

This is going to be a collection of news stories that I haven't had a chance to get to yet.

Huffington Post - Donald Trump Prefers His Steak Well Done, AKA The Worst Possible Way.  I like starting with this one. The propaganda machine is on full tilt against Trump; but, this article is fanatical in it's stupidity. It basically says Trump is a bad person because he likes his steak well done. Wow, now that is what I call insane. Next they will be saying he is bad because he flosses his teeth.

Fox News - No Right to Rent? Cities barring property owners from renting out.  If you think about who this benefits you will understand why cities have passes laws restricting who can rent out a home. Yep, it benefits apartment building owners. Keep an eye on this because they are going to go after mom and pop rental buildings next.

CNBC - Here's how the GOP could stop Trump AND Clinton.  Basically the article promotes a third party candidate just so neither Trump nor Clinton could get a majority and that would allow the House of Representatives to choose the President and the Senate to choose the Vice President. CNBC is literally saying that the will of the voters should be superseded by a congress that has less than a 10% approval rating.

YouTube - Harper Suspends Parliament Giving Him All Power. The title of the video is actually wrong, it was the Queen of England's representative that closed the Parliament and did not allow the Canadian legislature vote on ousting their Prime Minister. Another example of how the vote of the people does not meet the wishes of the wealthy so the vote is taken away.

YouTube - EU faces existential crisis as democracy becomes contagious - UKIP Leader Nigel Farage.  Yes, Europe's laws are voted on by people who frequently were not chosen by the people.

Yahoo - Reuters - Uber seeking to buy self-driving cars: source.  Yes, Uber is seeking to buy 100,000 self driving cars so that it doesn't have to pay for drivers. I really enjoy listening to people who try to tell me that this will not happen in their lifetime.

Investor's Business Daily - Blame Minimum Wage, Not Carl’s Jr. CEO, For Automated Restaurants. Face it, employees are not wanted, go back and read my post on "What's Going On". Even slavery would not stop automation from taking away jobs, if you doubt it just look to China.

Fortune -  Conservatives Grasp For a Plan to Stop Trump. Another article calling for letting congress pick your next President and Vice President. We will be seeing more of these because the wealthy don't like the people deciding anything.

The Economist - Top Ten Global Risks.  This is from an English publication and it claims that if we elect Trump as President it would be one of the top ten threats to globalism.

Science and Jailing Dissenters

Here is a fun fact and something you should know. All of the global warming information you have been led to believe is based on data from the last 100 years as recorded by machines; however we have reliable data going back 800,000 years and you have never been told about it. Why not take a look at the complete picture.

Wikipedia - European Project for Ice Coring in Antarctica.  EPICA is the scientists that we fund to take ice cores in Antarctica and from those cores they can see how warm it was in the past, even before people were capable of determining it. Guess what it shows? It shows that we have not been warming steadily; but, rather we are in an expected cycle of warming. In fact if you go to Wikipedia - Temperature Records you can see their chart.

If you want to look at temperatures for the past five and a half million years you will see that we are actually colder. Wikipedia - Geologic temperature record. This is not surprising as we have known that the earth has been cooling for millions of years for a pretty long time.

If you go back to the Temperature records link you can scroll down till you get to their chart and you will see that the earth has been warming for about 22,000 years since the last time temperatures bottomed out. In fact, while the earths temperature has increased in the last 22,000 years it appears to have topped out, as was expected, and is now going down again and there is nothing we can do to cause it or prevent it.

Now, solar activity also has an effect on climate; but, that is harder to measure back in history. We can say that the planet gets hotter for a short period of time following intense solar flare activity; but, one also has to consider how trees and atmospheric changes effect temperature. We have a much easier time showing how volcanic activity effects temperature as extreme volcanic activity has a much more immediate and extensive effect on temperatures as it can block out the sun's rays. On top of this we look at the effect of asteroids on the earth. It is believed by just about every scientist that the dinosaurs were extinguished because of a single asteroid hitting the earth and putting such an alarming amount of dust in the air that it caused an ice age that wiped out the dinosaurs.

Here is a simple question, if we are going to ignore the scientific evidence that we have spent billions in collecting regarding temperatures over earth's history, then why would we rely on the records only for the last 100 years? The temperatures for the last 100 years are well within the predicted ranges and that includes all the records that pre-date man even inventing fire.

So why do I bring all of this up today. To begin with, I have been writing about the presidential race more than I wanted to. It is an important issue and attempts to limit our democratic approach to our representatives disgusts me and if you read my last post you probably feel pretty disgusted to. I went out to dinner with two very conservative friends tonight and we discussed that post and the prior ones that were labeled "What's Going On" and it had upset them because they finally saw how they were being lied to by the politicians and the "political establishment" that funds them, you know, the wealthy who make up the donor class. The second reason is that this blog has never been about one thing, it has always been about looking at everything through a different lens.

Now I want to discuss science in general. Those who have been reading this blog for a long time know that I have frequently written about science and I like science. I also know how science and other areas of study are managed and manipulated by political and other forces. Recently there has been serious discussion about being able to sue people over denying man made climate change. We have seen this before. Not that long ago we saw a law suit against a teacher who taught evolution in America, it was called the Scopes trial. Wikipedia - Scopes Trial.  I find it amusing that now people seek to sue people for teaching creationism in school, nothing has changed we sue people for saying things that we disagree with. In the past history has done worse, people were jailed and outright killed for disagreeing with the beliefs of the day. Galileo was jailed for saying that the universe revolved around the sun and not the earth. I am less concerned with which science is correct than I am with the willingness by the establishment to punish people for having opposing views.

When the Stock Market Crashes the Media Will Blame Trump. Bet Me.

The stock market is going to crash again and probably this year. I am not the only one that knows this is coming. The media was going to blame it on the Federal Reserves interest rate hike; but, instead they will blame it on Trump and the "other side" will blame it on the Federal Reserve. This is not going to be a long post, it is really meant to be used later to show how insincere the media is and how they lie to us. This post will be referred to after the crash and after the blame game has begun. The truth is that the crash that is coming is coming because it is a great way to steal money.

Why Do We Pay For Non-Democratic and Non-Representative Primaries

We are constantly told and were taught in school that we live in a Democracy. We do not. The Constitution says we live in a Representative Democracy. We do not. Your choices are determined by a small group of wealthy people. It is only representative of their vote. If you think I am wrong, consider what is being discussed, finally, by the media. Lets look at the two major parties.

The Democratic party is not democratic, if you want proof consider the "Superdelegates", one third of the delegates that will actually choose the nominee are not selected by the voters they are chosen by the wealthy that control the party and vote as they are told to by that small group of people. This is why even though Bernie Sanders won the vote in election in New Hampshire, Hillary Clinton was given more delegates than he got.

Now lets look at the Republican party, same thing different approach. Watch this.

Here is the statement from this Republican establishment representative, "The media has created the perception that the voters will decide the nominee." He then says that, "Political parties choose the nominee, not the general public."

Look, I stopped voting years ago. I stopped voting because of how the party system has been corrupted to limit our choices. I am voting in this election for the candidate who is less controlled by the media and the oligarchs that run this country. The truth is that Bush was a puppet, Clinton was a puppet and Obama is a puppet. I will not vote for puppets or support the oligarchs control over the political process.

Consider the billionaire who a year or so ago said that he believed that millionaires votes should count more than the vote of average people. If you forgot or were not paying attention, I will play the clip.

Specifically, this man said that if you paid a million dollars in taxes then you should get a million votes. He doesn't believe the votes of the rest of us should count. Oligarchs do not like democracy and they have been actively subverting it and the people have gone along with it.

If you think the media which is owned by these people believe in democracy or representational democracy, guess again and consider how most in the media want to see the Republican party ignore the wishes of the voters who support Trump. The conversation in the media, for the most part, is over how the oligarchs can change the rules of the Republican convention to pick the nominee if the voters support Trump or Cruz, which 80% of the voters do.

Here is an example of how the  media itself is against democracy. The Washington Post - To defend our democracy against Trump, the GOP must aim for a brokered convention.  Just think about what they are saying, to defend democracy we must stop democracy, we must violate the will of the voters behind the scenes in secret. Here is another example, Fox News - The new battle cry: Why can't the media 'stop' Trump? 

How anti-democratic is the media. Try reading this article. The Washington Post - The electoral college could still stop Trump, even if he wins the popular vote.  Here is the sub title, "Maybe — just this once — state legislators should use their constitutional authority and change how we elect the president." Yes, the Washington Post is seriously claiming that governors should choose people for the electoral college (the people who actually vote for their state's voters in the Presidential election) to pick people to vote against the will of the states voters.

It is not surprising to me that we live in a undemocratic society, what surprises me is that it has taken so long for the public to wake up to this fact.

UPDATE:

This is a couple of days after writing this particular post. I just read another article promoting the idea of violating the Constitutional intent behind the electoral college. I will comment on in later. I have decided to write some non-Presidential race stuff first.  I will say this much, many Republicans are refusing to do their job of advise and consent regarding Obama's nominee for the Supreme court. They claim to want a strict construction of the constitution and at the same time they are promoting voiding the voters choice in the primaries and are now considering using a new interpretation regarding the electoral college. It doesn't seem very consistent. Knowing the Democrat establishment they will ridicule the Republican parties efforts to ignore their voters and support having governors appoint people as delegates to the electoral college. I guess a Republican governor would appoint only Democratic delegates even if a Republican won the states votes and the Republicans would do the same. The party elites really don't like voters deciding anything.

The Death of the Republican Party and Who is to Blame - It Isn't Trump

The media and the establishment are blaming Trump, gay marriage and abortion for the death of the Republican party, it is a cynical lie, a denial of the truth. Trump is not killing the Republican party, if he was not in the race Cruz would have 70%+ of the vote, Trumps supporters are not going to suddenly switch to Kasich if Trump fails and Cruz's supporters will not support Kasich.  They both represent the middle class and working class, not the moneyed donors. People are not voting for Trump because he is not anti-gay, he is not running as an evangelical; but, Cruz is, yet he is still running against the establishment. This election for Republicans IS about changing the policies that only benefit the establishment and not working Americans.

Rubio and Kasich were the last of the establishment guys. Cruz is anti-establishment and his voters are to. If it comes down to a brokered election, Cruz's delegates will go for Trump. If the convention is brokered, it still goes to Trump. Cruz cannot effectively tell his people to support the establishment candidate, they will ignore him. There is no convention where Trump or Cruz's delegates vote for either Bush, Rubio or Romney. It will not happen.

The party establishment could regain control, it is very simple, they only need to put the needs and wishes of the majority of Republicans (workers and small business) above the wishes of the cleptokratic donors who only want tax breaks for themselves and to outsource jobs.

Why Liberals Should Be Okay With Sanders or Trump and Why Conservatives Should Be Too.

This blog publicly supported the Occupy Movement from the beginning. If you have been a regular reader than you may recall that I changed the title for a bit to "Occupy the Truth is Inside You". I also supported the Tea Party Movement mostly, I just thought they would be co-opted and focused to much on Gay Marriage. I have written that if Americans could find a way to bring the two movements together that we could do great things and stop the selling out of America.

We are divided over personal choices in lifestyle by the media rather than over economic and American interests. Tonight I want to discuss why and in which situation I would expect true liberals to vote for Trump and true conservatives to vote for Sanders. In a way the reason is the same for both sides.

To liberals I ask a couple of very simple questions. Liberals and conservatives are not that different. Most liberals want to see Americans do well and have good jobs, most conservatives feel the exact same way. Where they disagree tends to be over personal freedoms like the freedom to control one's body and have an abortion or smoke marijuana or have gay sex. No liberal voter or conservative voter would call for sending more American jobs overseas. No liberal or conservative voter would call for giving tax breaks to the corporations that outsource jobs. If you are liberal then you should know that the Democratic party has gone along with giving the wealthy tax breaks for outsourcing jobs to China. I know the Sanders supporters know this. Guess what, Hillary would continue what has been going on, she is owned by the big donors.

As for my conservative friends, if it comes down to Sanders versus Rubio or Kasich or even Cruz then you should vote for Sanders. You thought that trickle down economics would work; but, even Morning Joe had to admit that it has not, it has only led to more job losses. Remember when you were told that giving the wealthy tax breaks would increase jobs here? I think it is fairly clear that it did not.

On economic issues conservatives and liberals want the same thing, they want good jobs for Americans. The battle has never been between conservatives and liberal middle class workers, it is between the interests of the middle class and the wealthy. Since society split into the have and have not's it has been the most important battle except the middle class didn't know that, they believed the "establishment" and or so called "leaders" cared about the average citizen. They never did, this election is just highlighting that.

Breitbart - Huffington Post - HuffPo’s Grim: 54 Private Jets at Meeting to Stop Trump.  If you are a Sanders supporter and he loses to Hillary because the party elite steal the election with the super-delegates.

What Is Truly at Stake in This Election

Since the beginning of this election I have consistently sided with Sanders and Trump against the establishment . I see the fight being over whether or not this country will be an oligarchy or a democracy.  Ever since the 1970s we have been moving in the direction of an oligarchy where a very few pay for and control the elections and the politicians that they control. Ever since then we have seen our Presidential elections come down to a choice between the lesser of two evils who promise to improve the situation for the middle class and then don't. The political class at the behest of the wealthy have sold out the workers by outsourcing jobs and increasing taxes on the poor and middle class while giving tax breaks to the wealthy.

Lets face the simple fact a vote for any candidate who has a super-pac is a vote for oligarchy while the voices of the rest of us are drowned out and ridiculed by the establishment. If you don't understand that, then you are not paying attention. I have many Republican friends and none of them are racist; but, they all support Trump. We talk about this election everytime we get together. While the fight over oligarchy is rarely discussed in the media, when it is it is in favor of oligarchy. Think about this, the media is ridiculing the voters and not just the candidates. In a very recent post I linked to articles in respected news media that have flat out said that democracy is a bad thing. A bad thing for who? A bad thing for those in power.

Do you really think Hillary Clinton, Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio or Kasich is going to strengthen the middle class? Do you really believe they will respond to the needs of the majority of us? Let us first consider Kasich, he is in favor of giving amnesty to all illegal aliens already in this country, giving out millions of guest worker visas which will result in fewer jobs for Americans. Who does that benefit, the middle class or the wealthy? As for Marco Rubio, he supported the exact same things, doesn't that bother you. Cruz has favored guest worker programs in the past; but, now is calling for a wall to be built and tripling the size of the border patrol. The issue was originally raised by Trump in this election, you have to ask yourself why the others didn't raise it. I in fact raised this issue on this blog years ago, long before this election when congress was discussing denying citizenship to people who were born here, I vehemently disagreed with that plan. If you are born in America you are a citizen and should have the same rights as any other citizen, period.

As for Hillary Clinton, this is what she said, "'But the vast majority of the people who are here, we will give you a path to legalization if you meet the following conditions: pay a fine because you entered illegally, be willing to pay back taxes over time, try to learn English - and we have to help you do that because we've cut back on so many of our services - and then you wait in line.'" I hate to point this out but there a millions of legal American citizens that can either barely speak English or cannot speak it at all. In places that used to be part of Mexico such as Texas, Nevada, Arizona and California there are many places where the people still speak Spanish and there is nothing wrong with that.

Trump's policy is fairly clear, he wants to keep illegal immigrants out and while he says he would deport all people who entered the country illegally that will not be possible. An honest discussion over illegal immigration would block more illegal immigrants and grant amnesty to certain illegals; but, there would have to be a criteria. If it is automatic and the borders are not secure we will see a flood of new illegal immigrants trying to beat the deadline. That is just common sense.

In a democracy the people decide the immigration policy and not just the wealthy who want cheap labor at the expense of the citizens. In a democracy the majority decide on trade policy and tax policies; but, that is not happening. The establishment backs plans for accepting millions of illegal immigrants as a way to further lower wages while claiming to believe in overpopulation and a need to reduce our nations "carbon footprint". If we are truly overpopulated and want to reduce our nations carbon emissions, how does letting in millions of new people meet those goals? In particular why would support this agenda if you know we are losing jobs? That is the real issue and that is why the donor class is fighting the idea of the middle class choosing someone who disagrees with them.

Quantitative Easing Stealing From the Middle Class

I recently read an article in a financial magazine. It blamed the central banks for making the rich richer and the rest of us poorer because of Quantitative Easing (the over printing of money by the Federal Reserve). It then accuses the people behind it, the ones controlling the central banks (like the Federal Reserve) of being stupid and not learning from past mistakes. The article is wrong, the people that are printing the money intend to only benefit the wealthy. That has always been their intent and that is why Andrew Jackson sought to eliminate the precursor to the Federal Reserve. He said that governments did not need to borrow money from private bankers and he was correct.

Let me really simplify this. Wages have not gone up in the last ten years or so. During that same time the taxes on the wealthy have gone down about 50% (really). That means that the middle class is paying more as a percentage of their income than the wealthy. Those tax breaks were made on the promise that the wealthy would create more jobs in America, they did not, they increased outsourcing to China. Quantitative Easing, the lowering of interest rates by the overproduction of money will mean that the middle class pays the debt disproportionately to the wealthy. It was meant to steal money from the middle class and leave us with the debt. It is the final plundering of the American worker.

Rubio and the Republican Party Don't Think Voters Should Choose the Nominee

So Marco Rubio has come out and said that his supporters in Ohio should vote for Kasich. He has told his own supporters to not vote for who they want even if they want him. The whole purpose of the primaries is to find out who the voters want; but, as far as Rubio and the establishment is concerned they don't want to know who the voters want. Think about that.

As for Ted Cruz, he doesn't respect the voters either. Cruz has called Trump supporters "low information" which is to say that he believes half of the Republican party voters are idiots. Sarah Palin called him on this in a Facebook Post. Sarah Palin - GOP Majority Voters in Primary are Wayyyyyy Beneath Cruz, So Says Cruz.  Even Fox News took Cruz to task for this. Fox - Cruz says Trump backers have 'relatively low information,' not very 'engaged'. 

Breitbart - HuffPo’s Grim: 54 Private Jets at Meeting to Stop Trump.  Politicians of both party and billionaires got together to figure out how to ignore the will of the voters. These things should bother you even if you dislike Trump.

YouTube - How the Elite Control the World: The Rich Getting Richer, the Upper Class & Money in America (1996).  This is a video that is really worth watching. It is about the attitude of globalism rather than nationalism in the wealthy of today.

The New York Times - The Party Still Decides.  Here is a line from the article, "The less-than-democratic side of party nominations is a virtue of our system, not a flaw, and it has often been a necessary check on the passions (Trumpian or otherwise) that mass democracy constantly threatens to unleash."

And Washington D.C. Repubicans Vote For Rubio. Here is Why.

Washington D.C. holds it's own Republican caucus. This is okay; but, they also get as many votes as the whole state of Hawaii. In D.C. the Republicans make up only about 6% of the total population. In fact there are only a few thousand Republican voters in the whole city. Politicians and lobbyists and most of the government workers live outside of D.C. in places like Virginia which holds it's own primary.

The Republicans in the primary vote in Washington D.C. are probably mostly very low level civil servants who support the system that employs them. They support the establishment and their votes are in. The establishment lackeys who cannot afford to live outside of Washington D.C. voted for the winner, Marco Rubio. Yep, he got a whopping 1,059 votes which gave him 37% of all the votes. Kasich came in second with 1009 votes or 36% of the vote. Trump came in 3rd with 391 or 14% of the votes and Cruz came in last with 351 or 12% of the votes. The really sad thing is that they get as many delegates at the convention as does Hawaii which has a heck of a lot more voters. The fact of the matter is that some states get more delegates than they should not because of the states population or even the number of Republicans in the state; but, instead because of the number of establishment Republicans in the states. It is non-representative primaries that bother me. I don't like anyone's vote being watered down so that insiders can have an advantage.

I Will No Longer Support Sanders

I mention this because I had previously written that I did. I support many of his policies; but, I can no longer support him. I found his claim that Trump was responsible for the protests irresponsible and a political cheap shot. Mind you, I could not cast a vote for Clinton if my life depended on it, I find her to be very Nixonesque in her and her husbands political style. I believe she is insincere, dishonest and I simply do not trust her. I believe the attacks about her e-mails is silly; but, I still do not trust her. I will not vote for any bought and paid for establishment shill and that includes everyone except Donald Trump on the Republican side.

I believe my readers deserve to know where I am coming from so they can judge for themselves if I am consistent and honest in my analysis. Have a great weekend.

"Low Information" Media Pundits

Pimpernel has never accused another person's supporters of being ignorant and find it disgusting when I see it done to Sanders or Trumps supporters. It is dismissive of this nations citizens and the democratic process. If there is any single group that is "low information" it is the media. Lets face it, they have been 100% wrong about the Trump candidacy. They did not believe he was capable of winning any elections, that has been thoroughly disproven. They have continued for the past 9 months to say that he would go down in the polls because he said things that the establishment does not like being said and he has only gone up in the polls. They have said that his support was limited to 20, 25,30 and 34 percent. That has proven to be silly and wrong with his current support as opposed to the others running in the Republican party at 49%. Remember this is the same media that said that Jeb Bush could not be stopped because of the millions and millions of dollars that the donor class had given him, that is definitely been proven wrong. So what is the problem are all the pundits just idiots or lying? You decide, either way they have destroyed their own credibility and seem hell bent on continuing to destroy any respect that people may have had for the media.

Chicago Trump Rally Disruption and a Thanks to the Secret Service.

Last night a Trump rally was disrupted by a group of people who did not wish the man to speak; but, you have to know there is more to the story. Lets start with this, the protest was not spontaneous, in fact, it was planned and funded. That alone should disturb all of us. Elections are about hearing all the different voices and choosing who we want. Secondly, stopping a rally does not stop the message from getting out, we live in an age of television and the internet and candidates get more listeners by having an interview in a television studio than at rallies. So why did these people choose to try and stop the rally?

Lets look at the rally's to get a feel for why they upset people. Trump and Sanders have had enormous rallies compared to the other candidates, people are coming out by the thousands to see them and hear them, people are excited by the two candidates in a way that we have not seen in decades. Seeing the exceptionally large crowds at Trump rallies highlights how popular his message is with certain people and that is seen by the rest of the public on television. The establishment is scared that the people will see that they can work together against what is going on in this country and that scares them.

What would the response of the media be if the tens of thousands of Trump supporters who show up for his rallies shut down a rally by Sanders or one of the other candidates? I am pretty sure that the media would use it to demonize Trump supporters; but, when people prevent Trump supporters from attending his rallies the media says it is Trumps fault. That is hypocritical and wrong. It is however not surprising or unexpected. We need to ask ourselves what led up to this protest.

Breitbart - HuffPo’s Grim: 54 Private Jets at Meeting to Stop Trump. Here is the opening paragraph from the article, "Huffington Post reporter Ryan Grim told CNN’s Brooke Baldwin on Tuesday that “something like 54 private jets” had arrived at an elite meeting of tech CEOs, GOP party insiders and big donors set on stopping Donald Trump before he wins the Republican nomination." It should be noted that the meeting included some Democratic politicians too. Why would tech people get together to stop Trump? Could it be because he wants them to make their products here and not in China? Could they have an economic interest, I mean obviously they are very wealthy as seen by the fact that they all flew in on private jets.

While the media attempted to claim that these protests are spontaneous, the reality is that they were organized over the internet. The fact is that MoveOn.org has taken credit for stopping the rally. In truth since Trump has been seeing larger and larger crowds there has been a continual effort to disrupt his rallies with people getting tickets and then protesting inside the rallies, that does not seem very democratic does it? When disrupters have been removed from the rallies by security and the police, they are not condemned by the media. A press that claims to believe in freedom of speech seems quite content when Trump and his supporters have their freedom of speech disrupted. Does the media accuse the protestors of being "low information" or "racist", nope.

I have been very clear in my support for Sanders and for the Occupy movement over the years. Today I am disappointed in Sanders and that makes me sad. He blamed Trump for the disruptions following the lead of Clinton, Cruz, Rubio and Kasich. I expected better of him, I expected nothing different from the others. I will be truly disappointed if I were to learn that some of the protestors had been part of the Occupy movement as this is similar to how their voices were quieted and how they were removed from public places for voicing their concerns.

While I generally support protests, I do not respect disruptive protest. I do not see this as an attack against Trump, I see it as an attack against the democratic process and you should too no matter who you support. The Pimpernel would never call for disruptive protests against anyone running for office, it is just wrong. It is also the last ditch effort to subvert the election before the convention and will fail. The truth is that it will only solidify and give more support to Trump. People do not like being told who they can listen to or support and the establishment and his protestors are both attempting to do that. Once it has shown to be failed because of Trump's increasing his polling numbers, they will take a new track and the only one left to them is to attempt to eliminate Trump and that is not surprising. The establishment would rather see riots in the street than their control over the political system challenged, that is why a number of top Republicans have said that they would vote for Clinton over Trump. Today Rubio has basically said the same thing and that spells the end of his political career.

UPDATE:

I have to add something to what I wrote. I have been watching and reading media from all different perspectives and I keep seeing the same words used at his rallies. They say that Trump needs to tone down his message, that is nonsense. The people protesting him did not do it because protestors were kicked out of Trumps rallies, that is just silly. If they are protesting because he wants tighter controls over immigration then we have a real problem. Every nation has the right to decide who can come there. In truth I do not believe that is what is behind all of this. In fact, I disagree with the description of the protest being "violent", there were (it was estimated at the time) a couple of thousand protestors and well over 15,000 Trump supporters. While a very few of the protestors started fights (five were arrested), the fact of the matter is that a riot did not break out and the vast majority of protestors and supporters were peaceful. To demonize the vast majority of either side for the actions of a very few is propaganda.

FINAL THOUGHT:

Today at a rally a protestor rushed the stage and tried to reach Trump, he was stopped by Secret Service agents. If you watch the video you will see four Secret Service agents basically surrounding Trump to protect him. You really have to admire the Secret Service agents who risk their lives on a daily basis to protect our candidates so that you and I can decide who we want, they are not just protecting Trump or the other candidates, they are risking their lives for our freedom to choose who becomes President and then they continue to protect the eventual winner while he is in office. I tip my hat to all of the Secret Service members.

Donald Trump and What's Going On

For the past few days I have been writing about some big picture stuff; but, I have also been collecting news articles to discuss. I may wait to publish until later tonight.

MSNBC - Top Arab-American city backs Jewish socialist, man for Muslim ban,  The problem with the media is that they actually believe their own spin on things. For the past 15 years the media has said that they do not understand why the Arab Muslims hate the United States. The Republican establishment claims it is because they hate our freedom. This is delusional. They hate us because we keep invading their countries, stealing their oil and bombing their families. It is not really that complicated. Why did Trump win the Arab vote when he wants to put a temporary ban on Muslims from the middle east until we can determine which ones might be terrorists? He won their vote because he doesn't want us to keep invading countries in Arabia. Pretty simple.

Reuters - Foreign diplomats voicing alarm to U.S. officials about Trump.  According to unnamed U.S. Officials, a number of foreign politicians have expressed concern about Trump because of his crudeness and distrust of Muslims. What is interesting to note is that the countries mentioned in the article are India, South Korea, Japan and Mexico. Lets think about that, the countries that we are outsourcing our jobs to don't like Trump. Maybe it has more to do with his wanting to charge them a tariff than it has to do with his style.

Huffington Post - An Open Letter To Non-Racist Donald Trump Supporters.  While I regularly read the Huffington Post, their bias in pretty well skewed. This is the site that posted articles about Trump's candidacy in the Entertainment section and regularly posts three or more articles a day attacking Trump and all of his supporters. The title of the post itself is disgusting as it suggests that most of Trumps supporters are racists and that is simply not true. I know because all of my friends except two are Trump supporters, the two others are liberals. I myself am more of a social democrat as my posts over these six years have clearly demonstrated. What is truly telling is that the Huffington Post is not read by most Trump supporters, they are much more likely to read the Drudge Report.

The Washington Post - How Donald Trump is ruining Paul Ryan’s speakership.  The fact is that Ryan is in trouble with the Republican voters because he oversaw a budget increase and more deficit spending and the voters hated that. The take away from this article is that Ryan wants to set the party platform at the convention and force Trump to agree to it. The establishment is looking for any way possible to steal the election or at least control the candidates policies. Anything to contradict the will of the people.

Yahoo - Trump’s bad logic on 'bad trade deals'.  Here is the first sentence from the article. "Somebody please tell Donald Trump: A trade deficit isn’t a loss. You could even argue it’s a gain." What sort of logic is that? Who thinks increasing our debt to foreign nations is a good thing? Let me reiterate what I discussed in my series on "What's Going On", they do not want us to get manufacturing back and will say anything to prevent it.

The Cheat Sheet - How America’s Middle Class Dug Its Own Grave.  I always enjoy these articles where the wealthy use the media establishment to blame the people for the things that were done to them. It was not the middle class that outsourced jobs to Communist China, they also did not cause the financial crisis, that was done by the banks.

YouTube - Judge Jeanine: Mitt Romney awoke a sleeping giant. The average Republican is really mad at the party establishment and the attacks on Trump are really beginning to let them see how the party doesn't care what the voters want. Watch the video.

The New York Times - Rank and File Republicans Tell Party Elites: We’re Sticking With Donald Trump.  The Republican voters, even those who do not like Trump, are getting madder and madder at their party "leaders" for ignoring the voters. This is a party who is committing suicide to protect the interests of the wealthy in the party at the expense of the workers.

Fox - Hucakbee: The establishment has ruined this country.  I highly recommend you watch the video. It is a former Republican governor who is explaining that his party does not represent the voters.

Newsmax - 22 Republicans Declare Their Non-Support for Trump.  Well, they can kiss their next election goodbye. You cannot say that you will not support your parties nominee against Clinton and expect to then get the support of Trump supporters in your own election.

Follow Up - What's Going On series.

As the above articles show, the establishment (donor class, wealthy people) are getting hysterical over the voters supporting Donald Trump. They fear him because he disagrees with sending jobs overseas and with them getting tax breaks at the expense of the middle class.

What's Going on - Part 4 - What Are The Options?

The Pimpernel does not deal in fantasy nor delusion. Neither has any value in my world. In business I was paid to analyze what was going on and determine the best cause of action and that is what I did. In reading what I have written in the past 3 parts you may ask yourself how can we stop this from happening and the truth is, we cannot stop the reason behind all of this. The truth is that with the current changes in technology we will no longer need manual laborers as much, we also will not need their supervisors or all of the infrastructure that goes into having employees.

I want you to go back and read the Rockefeller Commission report that is linked to on the third paragraph of Part 1. Whether you believe in the concept of overpopulation or not, they believe in it and they drew up a plan for dealing with having more people than were needed. Guess what, we have more people than are needed to provide the wealthy with wealth. Those who are not adding to the wealth of society, those who do not have a job, are by definition, unnecessary for society to function. What do we do when half of the population is unnecessary for society to prosper? That is a tough question for many people to determine. The answer depends on your love for others.

Now let me tie it into this election cycle. Trump would try to expose the part of the game he understands and bring jobs back. He is a nationalist and is for the middle class. He also believes this can all be stopped. His heart may be in the right place; but, this cannot be stopped. We may be able to slow it down; but, we cannot stop it. Sanders wants to guarantee everyone a livable life even if they do not have a job, he wants to share a part of the wealth of this nation with all of it's people. I regret to say that his answer will not work forever either. Bill Gates's answer is that if we improve the healthy of people in the third world, they will have fewer children. This is actually true because people in countries where the children are more likely to die young are more likely to have more children to make up for the death rate. Reducing the population by convincing people to have fewer children will not solve the problem either; but, again it will delay things for longer. In the end with technology advancing as it is there will come a time where very few people will be needed to run and fix all of the necessary farming and industry. That my dear readers is just a fact.

In the last 15 years there have been a few movies asking what would happen if a giant asteroid were headed to earth and would kill everyone. The movies ask the question of how people would respond and what the governments would do and if they would warn people. That comet exists in the real form of a changing world where human labor is no longer needed. Ayn Rand believed most people were unnecessary and dragged down the useful in society. She is accepted by many conservatives as a God, Greenspan was one of her groupies as are many Republican politicians. The wealthy do not wish to share with people that do not benefit them economically or socially or aesthetically or to put it bluntly, people that do not benefit them at all by their mere existence. That is why Mitt Romney said he would not represent 47% of the citizens of this country when he was running for President. Heck, he told the truth. His backers do not care about people that do not benefit them directly.

My dear readers, what I have written is the truth and given a little time you will come to realize it. Sorry. Here is the truth, we cannot go back and un-create computers, robotics or the wheel. Ted Kaczynski, the Unabomber was a genius and a Professor at Harvard before he could legally drink alcohol. He saw what technology would do; but, he thought he could stop it by blowing up people. He was a modern day Luddite (they tried to stop the industrial revolution and failed badly). Reality says that any technology we discover will be exploited as much as we can, that is just human nature. Well, we won't need many people to run the world in the future and if all you have to offer is showing up or physical abilities, you are going to no longer be needed and will be very easily replaced. How do we deal with that? You may just now be getting the bigger picture. The truth is that the think tanks have known this for decades and have planned for it. What plan do you think they have made? It is in part 1 of this series of posts. It is the link in the third paragraph of Part 1, the link to the published plan that describes where they want the world to go. It was commissioned by the President of the United States.

I like my readers. Heck, I love my friends and family. I have the best friends in the world, friends that would give of the little they have to take care of me. My friends kept me alive and gave me hope when the Pimpernel's world turned to nothing but pain. Do you really think I like telling you all what is coming in these posts? I do not because there are very few options and in cannot be stopped. China did not screw America, they were taken advantage of by the wealthy here. Again, it is pretty simple. China is now the manufacturer for the world and they are going to automate all the factories, it has already begun. What do they do with over a billion people and no jobs for workers? Think about it. We have been transitioning for 40 years to a nation without that type of labor. In truth, we have replaced many of those manual labor jobs with technology jobs. We are certainly further along at the transition that are the newly industrialized countries. China will not know what to do when it has a billion unemployed people because their industries have all been automated and the citizens have to live with pollution and a very minimal existence. The problem for me is that I do understand the plan and see some logic behind it; but, I think we can do better. What do you think? Assume all 4 of these posts are accurate, make a game of it, if you watch zombie films you ask yourself what if scenarios, if my analysis is right, what do you recommend? I think we need to have everybody at least ask the question. The people that own the world don't believe in sharing the question or their solution with you.

Pimpernel

What's Going On - Part 3

Endless War and the Military Industrial Complex

Money for a few, death and destruction for the soldiers who are then ignored. All while weakening those with natural resources so we can get them cheap. The only manufacturing we consistently make a profit at is weapons. That is why we are constantly at war. The profits from war do not go to the citizens or warriors, they go to the defense industry, If it is our only manufacturing industry and pays well, why wouldn't we go to war. Not recommending it, just explaining it.

We are the defenders of the world. The United Nations doesn't need a large armed forces, they use the United States and your taxes and children pay for it.

Scapegoats for Our Destruction, Gay Marriage, the Attack on the Millennial's and Blaming the Victim

Right now, the most emotional issues are gay marriage, gun control and abortion. These are issues that people can easily understand and invoke irrational emotional responses. The people tend to be polarized in all or nothing positions and it is completely meaningless. Nothing we do will stop gays from having sex, there is no way to take all the guns already out there and there is no way that abortion will be made illegal again. These things will not happen. They are discussed more that the trade agreements because they are a distraction. You are being manipulated and while that goes on, jobs continue to be outsourced and social security is being destroyed.

Coordination by a Few Through Organizations that Do Not Act in Public

The Council on Foreign Relations, the Tri-Lateral Commission, The Bilderberg Group, the Bohemian Grove and others. All these organizations have something in common, they wield immense power and yet their plans are only discussed in private meetings which are not reported on and you are not allowed to see. In fact for decades the average citizen didn't even know these organizations existed. When the wealthiest and most powerful people in this world have meetings in secret with the most powerful politicians in the world you had better believe it is not just to enjoy each others company. Even the United Nations meets in public. You are not told what goes on in these meetings because they are planning meetings where everyone is getting on the same page and decide what fairy tale they are going to tell us as they implement their agenda.

The Coming Water "Crisis"

If water is so important that it must be rationed, then why are bottled water companies not subject to restrictions in California and why is it allowed to be polluted in massive amounts by the fracking industry? You control people with access to food and water. Right now Warren Buffett and Bill Gates are doing more to provide the third world with clean water and the ability to be self sufficient farmers than the United Nations or any country you can think of. This is counter to what the owners want, they want complete control over the water supply and it is happening in front of you; but, you don't know it. It is the reason that across this nation underground multi-billion dollar water storage facilities are being made and it is why the federal government has legislative power over all flowing water. Water will be treated like oil in the future and I have many posts on the details on this blog that I have written over the past 6 or 7 years.

The Destruction of Education

The United States spends more on students than other countries for elementary through K12; but, we do a worse job. This is not an accident and it is not the fault of the teachers, it is a plan and the teachers have been fighting it. We could improve education tomorrow without very little difficulty, all we need to do is return to teaching elementary school the way we did 40 years ago, teach the basics and teach math and English in ways that prepare people to learn more in the higher grades. Kids today cannot do basic math or basic English, that can be fixed and we are not going to because they do not want an educated middle class anymore because they do not need an educated middle class anymore.

The Destruction of Churches and the Vilification of Religion From Within

In simplest terms, every organization that is controlled by the middle class is being attacked by the media and the establishment because they do not want any organization that they do not control 100% to be able to fight their plans and they don't need a strong middle class anymore. Once you understand that, all the rest begins to fall into place. When you see conservative politicians attacking the Pope there is a reason. Even Trump did not attack the Pope when the Poe was tricked into saying things that seemed to be anti-Trump. The other politicians attacked the Pope for saying we should take care of one another.

The Destruction of Community Through the Centralization of People

Community is the idea that we need to take care of one another, that we are all in this together. In farming America this was easy to achieve and highly desirable to all. We could not have expanded food production if farms failed, so farmers banded together. They had their own union and it was very effective at the beginning of this century; but, it was killed and the farms were destroyed in the 80s by the Savings and Loan failures which resulted in the family farms defaulting on their loans and having to sell their farms in tax sales to giant conglomerates. In the big cities the sense of community came from the neighborhoods; but, those were all destroyed by laws meant to stop minorities from not being allowed to buy in "white" neighborhoods. While those laws may have been good they also have meant the slow death of homogeny in communities. When people lived in Italian or Irish or Jewish neighborhoods, they had more influence on laws effecting their community.

The Attack on the Judiciary.

The destruction of the Constitution occurs when there is no judiciary to enforce it and legislators and Governors can circumvent it without changing it by public vote. The Supreme Court was created by the founding fathers to stop politicians from changing the rules and people who claim to believe in the Constitution now want to politicize the Supreme Court by only approving judges who agree with their political perspective.

"Too Big To Fail" Means Big Enough to Fight the Agenda

Many conservative complain about the Wall Street bailouts and they should; but, those were done to steal from the middle class and act as a long term threat to the few remaining American industries. The interests of manufacturing and financial interests are not the same. The establishment has created a situation where industry can only be same if they outsource oversees. The auto industry was bailed out by the taxpayers and then increased outsourcing. Manufacturing industries in the United States can no longer stand up to the financial industry, they were tricked into being part of the financial industry which is why when the auto industry went bankrupt it turned out that General Motors and the others were making more money from financing loans than from making cars.

A Partial Summary

If you haven't read parts 1 and 2, please go back and read them in order. The agenda that is being played out was published in 1972 and a link to it is on the third paragraph of Part 1. The report was issued by the federal government and commissioned by the President. Everything that is going on now is directly related to the outcomes that the report called for; but, the process for achieving those goals was not published. It was decided by organizations within this country. The Rockefeller family is partially responsible. Obviously the Rockefeller Commission wrote the initial planning document; but, they are not alone in the plan. Clearly the Rockefeller family created and funded the Council on Foreign Relations and other groups that made the plans for the implementation of the agenda; but, again, they were not alone.

The difference between a conspiracy theorist and me is pretty simple, I identify the plan that the establishment published and you didn't know about. There are some ultra right wing nut jobs that  believe the "Zionists" (Jews) are responsible for everything that is going on and there are other idiots that believe the Catholic church is responsible for everything that is going on. Some believe that Satanists in Secret Societies are responsible for it all and David Icke believes that Reptilian aliens are responsible for it all. Nope, it is people that are doing all of this. Satan may be behind the plan; but, it is most definitely people that are implementing it and they are doing it for self interest. The self interest of the most wealthy is to keep as much wealth as they can and when they don't need workers it determines their actions. The analysis is really quite simple in the end and consistent with history.

What's Going On - Part 2 - The Domestic Weakening of America and Western Europe

The Purpose Behind The Death of The Middle Class

If you haven't read part 1, then you need to do so now or you will not understand what is leading to all of this. Lets start with the fact that populations in the west have not been going up and have in fact been going down for years. In fact while since the late 1960s we were told that America and the west would be so overpopulated that we would live in abject poverty and there would not be enough resources by 1999, this has not happened. Think about it, everytime we were told we were running out of oil, suddenly and miraculously it would be found and everything was fine. We were told that we were running out of oil in the late 70s and that became the oil "crisis". A short comment, whenever you read or hear the word crisis, reform and emergency, you are probably being lied to. We were also told that we needed to become oil self sufficient so that we didn't need to import oil. We now produce more oil in America (from fracking) and as soon as that happened, we began changing the laws and exporting American produced oil to foreign countries. All the money the government paid and gave away in taxes breaks for American oil to drill for more oil in America ended up benefitting other countries because we are now exporting our oil to them.

Europe and the Refugee "Crisis"

Currently we are being told that Europe is in crisis because refugees are entering it from the middle east. What the story leaves out is that Europe has been importing people from these countries as low paid workers for at least 30 years because their indigenous populations were declining and they needed workers; but, this is not true as the number of jobs in Europe has not been increasing because just like the United States they have been de-industrializing too. Currently the largest mosque in the world in in England, not Arabia or even Asia (you should know that more Asians are Muslim than Arabs).

In America we are being told that we cannot "realistically" deport millions of illegal immigrants because suddenly the Republican party which has claimed that the Mexicans are to blame for decades has decided they love them. This is the equivalent of what is going on in Europe. In both instances the influx of foreigners is meant to weaken the strength of the European Union and Americas middle class, the influence of the workers on the outcome of the elections. How can it be that we are being told that "Climate Change" means that we all have to live with less while at the same time we are allowing uncontrolled immigration? That is truly talking out of both sides of their mouths.

Outsourcing and Tax "Reform"

Ever since Reagan the United States has sought to deregulate industry and provide tax breaks to the wealthy in the belief that these things would benefit the poor and middle class. Let me ask a simple question, is the United States better off since these things were done? Clearly the answer is no. Deregulation has led to multiple financial crisis's, outright theft of pension funds by Wall Street, the manipulation of every market and the solution was bailouts for Wall Street without anyone going to jail for the theft of trillions of dollars from taxpayers. As for tax "reform", it has directly supported the shipping out of American jobs to China, Pakistan, India, Vietnam and Mexico. Neither deregulation or tax breaks for business has led to increasing manufacturing jobs in America. During this same time the media has been allowed to consolidate to where only six companies control 90% of all media and therefore the message and news that you are told.

The Destruction of Unions and Civil Service

The destruction of collective bargaining and jobs security is directly tied the belief by the wealthy and powerful that the middle class needs to be eliminated, or at least greatly reduced, because they have the numbers that can democratically hinder the wishes of the wealthy. The universal hatred by the media and the "establishment" for Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump is because these candidates are seen as possibly creating a united front against outsourcing and the tax breaks for the wealthy. It is also a major reason behind the movement to make the states more powerful and take away power from the those who believe themselves to be entitled to be our masters. It is called divide and conquer.

The attacks on Social Security, universal healthcare, unemployment insurance, public pensions and the minimum wage are all geared at weakening the influence of the majority of citizens. If you look at any one of these issues along it does not seem to be important; but, when you see them all being done at one time, there is a connection and if you follow the money behind these things, you find they are all connected.

Climate Change and "Sustainability"

Climate change is a constant and is not caused by man. It has been going on since the earth began. The truth is one volcanic eruption can do more to effect the climate than all the emissions that man is responsible throughout all of history. In fact, when Krakatoa blew up it changed the weather for a couple of years by degrees. We are now being told that everyone needs to live in central cities in apartments as small as 150 square feet to prevent climate change. NO, it is meant to limit resources shared with the majority. We are producing more food than ever before at a relatively cheaper price then ever before. The solutions that were claimed were needed to deal with overpopulation are now claimed to be needed to prevent climate change, the exact same solutions. Follow the link in Part 1 to the Rockefeller Commission report and you can see what they were proposing and it is mostly achieved.

The Search for Immortality in a "Overpopulated" World

Right now billions of dollars are being spent to allow people to live forever; but, why are all these monies and resources being spent on making people live longer if we are concerned about overpopulation. If these technologies are perfected clearly we will not all be allowed to access them which is why healthcare is being destroyed. In Europe the socialized medicine is being destroyed and in America they are attempting to limit our access by pricing out people and limiting what is available. If a pill could allow you to live to be 500 years old, it would only be made available to a very few and it would not be available to the middle class and certainly not the poor.

Increased Surveillance and Stricter Police and Military Powers

As all of these things mentioned are going on, people are beginning to become aware of the fact that the world is stacked against them and exists only for the benefit of a few at the top. In order to keep the people in line, the strength of the military and police has been increased. The militarization of the police was once considered insanity; but, in todays world it is seen as necessary and by tracking us via technology, it is made cheaper and more invasive. This is going on throughout western civilization.

Non-Representative Government

The people of Europe and America cannot understand why their politicians say one thing and do another when the problems are so clear. It is because they do not report to the voters, they report to the donors who pay their bribes and give them rewards for pushing more money upwards and less to the middle class. The political class is not the cause of these things, they are the tool of the rich and powerful to implement these policies.

Increased National Debt and Weakening Government

A lot of Republican voters were confounded by the latest federal budget. The Republicans control both congress and the state Governors; but, still voted for the largest deficit spending in history. If our debt is so out of control then why are we increasing the deficit. It is simple, increased deficits and tax decreases for the wealthy means that the middle class is left with all the debt; but, the money goes to projects that benefit the wealthy businesses and on top of that we pay interest on the debt to the financial institutions. Weakening the federal government and attempts to eliminate the Income tax are meant to permanently place this debt on the middle class and not on the wealthy who benefit from it.

Treaties that Destroy National Sovereignty and International Political Consolidation

Free Trade "Agreements" are not about free trade, they are about the consolidation of the laws. Many people are afraid of a "One World Government"; but, the same effect is achieved by making the laws the same. Current "Free Trade Agreements" do just that. In fact they are even worse than that, the Trans Pacific Partnership would allow foreign companies to sue America over laws that prohibit them from selling products made by slave labor or with a complete disregard for environmental laws. If you don't know about the TPP, you need to read up on it. How is it that the United Nations is so concerned with climate change; but, the nations still support trade agreements allow for the unrestricted pollution by China and the other countries that we outsource to?

What's Going On - Parts 1 through 4

Most of the people I know are looking around the world and don't really understand why things are changing. They know things are headed in the wrong direction for the majority of people and cannot understand why their elected officials are not helping them. That is the reason why anti-establishment candidates are winning. Tonight I will put the pieces together for my readers, I have been writing about the pieces, now I will show how they are connected.

THE OVERPOPULATION MYTH

When World War II began, the wealthy and powerful believed they needed us to fight for them and protect their interests. That meant that they needed us, the majority, the unwashed masses that they despised. If you don't understand this then you don't understand how people lived prior to World War II, it was a mess and the workers lived in filthy tenements. The conditions were so bad that the wealthy and powerful supported eugenics. In fact, eugenics began in England and America before it became the Nazis mainstay. After World War II the wealthy and powerful needed Americans to make things for the rest of the world because Europe, Russia, China and Japan were all in tatters. Because America was the industrial giant of the world, it needed to have educated people who could work the machines and lots of them. As a result, the GI bill was instituted and millions of ex-soldiers went to college and into business. Those ex-soldiers were making more money than the average guy had in the history of the nation and started having kids, those kids became the hippies. The 60s generation went to college on their parents expense and outnumbered the previous generations, that is the baby boom generation. The boomers also didn't like what they saw and decided to change the world. They ended segregation and rejected the control that was put on them. They even had the gall to protest against those in power and that scared the powerful because they knew they were outnumbered.

Population and the American Future - The Report of The Commission on Population Growth and the American Future. The report was commissioned by President Nixon in 1969 and published in 1972. As a result of that report the term overpopulation began being used. Overpopulation can be looked at in two different ways. Overpopulation can be seen as the world having more people that can be fed and taken care of or it can be viewed as having more people than are needed to work at making things that people want. For the people who run this world, it means the latter. The people who profit the most from this world do not see a reason to have more people than they need to profit off this world and with more effective robotics. they don't need as many of us as are alive. In fact, worldwide the number of workers will drop by a minimum of 45% in the next decade or so. Think about that. In America it is expected that we will lose 75 million jobs as the number of people needing jobs will increase. Think about that.

FUTURE GENETICS

Why is the world spending so much time, money and effort on genetically modifying humans? Do we really need to spend billions of dollars so that someone can choose the sex of their children? Does that actually make any sense to you? Why is the world spending billions of dollars to make smarter people? Does the average worker really need to be a genius to serve you at McDonalds? Smarter people means the people who own this world need fewer people. More controlled people means they need fewer people. More effective soldiers means they need fewer people to protect themselves and steal from their opponents. Look up DARPA and Super Soldiers.

FUTURE TECHNOLOGIES

Autonomous vehicles, advanced computer algorithms and computerized decision making means that even the managers and strategists will not be needed. Why would any rational person put decision making in the hands of computers? The answer is simple, because the people who own this place don't want the rest of us being able to redirect where the world is heading. They have their plan and they don't want a fight. This is partly why the "establishment" is so afraid of Sanders and Trump they have a different agenda, they actually want to find a place for those who are losing their jobs and won't be needed anymore.

THE END GAME

I will now summarize in simple terms. If you believe technology will replace workers in ten years, twenty year or a hundred years then you have to ask yourself, if you owned the place, if you were the .01%, how many servants would you want to keep around? Perspective is just that, it is how an individual views what they want and need. How do you think the maybe 1,000 that own 90% of this world view the rest of us? Do you think they feel they need us and should treat us well? If so, you are delusional and do not understand history. In Rome, those who were not seen as citizens (needed) were treated as slaves and enemies. Human nature has not changed. Prior to World War II things were still run in the same way, the haves (those whose opinions and needs mattered and chose how the game would be played) and the have not's (those who made the system work and were kept ignorant over what the system really was).

Here is my simple request to my readers. Every time you see the world acting in a way that "makes no sense", ask yourself if the filter I have just described explains why. Now there is a larger reason for all of this; but, until my readers understand this aspect, they cannot understand the larger context.

What's Going On - Part 4

People Are Not Living Longer. I can prove it.

The oldest person whoever we can prove lived (outside of the bible) was 122 years old and she died in 1997, that is 19 years ago. If our age limit for death had increased then we would see an increase in that number. Certainly by now someone would be 123; but, nobody is. The average age of death has increased. That is due to many reasons and goes up and down depending on disease and war and sanitation and a million things; but, the limits of lifespan have not changed a bit. Getting to live past 100 is like winning the lottery, it is all luck.

3/3/16 News and the Debate.

Fox - Critics of California water-tunnel project claim it's gov't waste to save tiny smelt.  The state of California wants to build a $15 Billion underground water pipe to hold water diverted from the San Joaquin- Sacramento delta. Critics claim that this is being done to protect a small fish called the delta smelt. That is not the reason this is being done and by the way even environmentalists are against this project. Go back and read the things I have written about water rights in the future and ho it is being turned into a commodity like gas. Not long ago I posted about how CIM Group is building a 165 billion gallon underground water storage facility in the Antelope Valley. Once contained water is going to get very expensive and be traded like any other commodity. In other words, the market will be rigged to benefit a very few. Here is a simple question, while water rationing is going on in California and people can only water their lawns one day a week in some places, Nestle is allowed to take more water than just about anyone else from this state, bottle it and sell it in any other state at the exact same time.

Daily Mail - The end of the courier? Self-driving 'ground drones' are heading to London to make deliveries across the capital.  In London they are using "drones" (it doesn't fly, it walks at 4 miles per hour) to make deliveries) to deliver packages. The "drone" will take a picture of anybody who touches it as a form of self protection. What jobs might this kill, maybe postal deliverers. Think about it.

Daily Mail - ‘I like Ted Cruz and I want to be his trans ambassador’: Republican Caitlyn Jenner says she would want to work for evangelical Christian despite his anti-LGBT views.  To begin with, I have not written just about anything about Chris-Caitlyn Jenner. I view her as a meaningless distraction from the real issues of the day and frankly I just don't care much about her or her story. I have made it very clear that I also do not care about gay marriage, it is none of my business who sleeps with who and marriage is not determined by the government. I have been writing this blog for 6 years and my opinions on these matters have been consistent and are online. Having said that, I also know that people who have sex changes are rarely happier afterwards and have a better than 50% chance of committing suicide. Transgenders are very rarely truly gay. Jenner believes himself to be a woman now and would consider being with a man but is unsure, that came out in the last two weeks.  Jenner is also saying that he likes Ted Cruz who is absolutely against trans people and gay people. The reason for the incredibly high rate of suicide by transgenders is because no matter how much you change your body, you are still you. If you didn't accept yourself before the operation, you still wont like yourself. That is just a psychological reality. I am worried that Jenner's deeper issues may cause him to harm himself someday. His appreciation of Ted Cruz is a sign that he is conflicted over himself.

Aside from all the above, Jenner said something that is just wrong. He said,  "Socialism did not build this country. Capitalism did. Free enterprise". Actually, the first settlers to America lived in communes. The pilgrim's lived a communal life, sharing together, hunting together and working together as a community. Jenner is not alone in thinking this and it is stupid. The first to come here were religious maniacs who didn't understand the bible because they were in a cult and they were communists. As for the founding fathers, they were all racists who believed in slavery. Why doesn't any politician say that this nation was built on slavery and if it was good enough for the founding fathers it should be good enough for us? They don't say it because, even though it is true, does not fit in with the garbage they are trying to sell us on today. It does not matter what this country was founded on, what matters is where we want to take it. That is why the founding fathers created the federal government and gave us the built in right to change what was done in the past. By the way, the first Christians also lived as communists and accepted slavery. If anyone reads this and doubts my words, leave a comment and I will provide enough evidence for you to choke on. People need to learn their bible and history.

vocative - Inside Scalia's very, very weird Secret Hunting Society.  Scalia was a member of "The International Order of St. Hubertus". Although the order was created in the 1600s, the Nazi's outlawed it and it was brought back in 1950, or almost immediately after the war. It was started by generals and ambassadors and that was done at the Bohemian Grove.

YouTube - Fox Segment Berates Min Wage Worker Who Can't Afford Food,  I don't really like this guy; but, this is worth watching.

Huffington Post - Growing Number Of GOP Politicians Refuse To Back Donald Trump In The General Election.  Can you believe that the "establishment" of the Republican party has said that they would vote for Hillary Clinton before they would vote for Trump. The same people that asked Trump to promise to support whoever the parties eventual candidate and now saying that they would not do the same. If you hate Trump you probably stopped thinking about what is really going on; but, there is much more to this story. The Republican party had a coup a while back, it was taken over by wealthy financial interests and stopped caring about the Republican voters, the middle class or the working class. The party left them, it just took them 20 years to figure it out and now they have and they are angry.

What does this mean for the Republican party? Well, it is actually simple. Either the Republican party will start to protect it's base (middle and working class Americans) or it will die. The voters have looked behind the curtain and found the real puppet masters, the establishment of people who only care about themselves and support sending jobs overseas. The enemy of the American workers is the Republican (and Democratic) Establishment, because the "establishment" just means the wealthy who control these organizations by funding them.

New York Post -  The New York Times abandoned its ethics to take down Trump. Donald Trump met with some people at the New York Times and at some point in time he spoke "off the record",  pretty common. Talking off the record is like being a confidential source and as you know the media claims special privilege to not revealing their sources; but, they gave up Trump. The New York Times leaked information about what Trump said off the record. Who do you think will talk to them "off the record" again? They have committed suicide to protect the establishment control over us. No public official will ever trust them again. Stupid.

Finally, comments on the debate last night. Totally meaningless, Trump will go up in the polls as a result of it.
