In Response to Trump, Another Dangerous Movement Appears

Matt Taibbi, Rolling Stone

Now, the cover story in The Atlantic magazine features the most aggressive offering yet in an alarming series of intellectual-class jeremiads against the dangers of democracy. In “How American Politics Went Insane,” Brookings Institute Fellow Jonathan Rauch spends many thousands of words arguing for the reinvigoration of political machines, as a means of keeping the ape-citizen further from power. He portrays the public as a gang of nihilistic loonies determined to play mailbox baseball with the gears of state.

by Ted Rall

To most people, “cheating” means breaking the rules of a contest. By this standard definition, there’s no doubt that the Clinton campaign, its political allies and the Democratic National Committee cheated in favor of Clinton and against Sanders.

It’s Time to Pop Your Conspiracy Theory Cherry

By Tim Bryant, Wake-Up World, 3 May 2016

Anyone who has spent the time going deep down the “rabbit hole” and researching in the realms of alternative information/conspiracy theory knows that a large majority of the world’s population hasn’t a clue as to what’s really going on in the world. However, all alternative researchers can relate to this because at one point they too were admittedly naïve and asleep to it all. In fact, almost all humans are born into some form of limited perception. There is a reason that the term “awakened” is often used by people in reference to their personal transformation from an in-the-box indoctrinated consumer to an open-minded free-thinker.

Crayfish And His 3 Trillion Dollars

Crayfish (David Crayford) is a bottom dweller but he does dig up a can of worms once in a while and this $3T is a nice example. Unfortunately, he hasn’t dug deep enough into an old story to find out the real purpose and use of this new issue of $100 Federal Reserve Notes. One clue that he did mention was the fact that China has a warehouse that is chocker block full of such notes printed in China. Taiwan has crates full too. The Philippines have crates of un-cut sheets.
