Are you going to say that it’s old news? That it doesn’t matter?
I believe you will just ignore it.
Is there any doubt as to why Trump didn’t trust the high ranking Barry appointed intel people he inherited?
They dont care. They never cared. It isnt about the law. It isnt about justice. It isnt about corruption. It isnt about Russia Russia Russia.
Its about rigging the primary, the election, spying on political opponents, covering up an investigation, and weaponizing the law enforrcement/intelligence arms of the US government----all done to guarantee the certain and inevitable coronation of Queen Hillary in 2016. The Democrats just want power. Thats all they care about. Two things are already obvious at this point---
1) Nobody in the justice or intelligence arms of the US goverment thought they would ever have to answer for what they did because Hillary was going to win and sweep it all under the rug.
2) This went too high up, was too wide ranging, too illegal, and too coordinated for these people in different agencies to possibly be acting alone and independently. At the absolute very least---Obama knew and approved what was going on---at worst (and more likely) he was actually heavily involved in coordinating it. Just too many arms of the executive branch are involved for Obama to be ignorant. This isnt a few renegade back benchers breaking into Watergate on their own. This is a carefully crafted interdependent effort to rig primaries, rig investigations, and weaponize the DOJ and intelligence arms of the US Government---with clear ties directly to the White House, NSA, and State Department.
Both sides want power. Just like businesses want to make money. Nothing wrong with that part of it. What's wrong with the Democrats and their "leadership" is what they want to do with that power. They basically have a very simplified platform:
Dems want to 1) Destroy families 2) destroy America the way it basically was set up and has functioned for 230+ years and 3)empower the worst nations of the world to destroy our country from withing and without.
There's nothing bleeding heart about the Dem agenda. They don't want to help the poor or minorities--Dems want to enslave them all (or, rather keep them enslaved with mind tricks) and turn them over to our enemies. No way most people can get behind that--and they're not even lying about what they want to do with a bait-and-switch like Barry did. They're actually out there saying these very things willfully without any shame or remorse. That's the amazing part of it.
Corporate America wants to use the Dems to destroy the last class of people in this country with the ability to resist them politically, the middle class. By forcing the middle class to pay for the impoverished and by lobbying for corporate perks at the state level to alleviate state taxes whether that is property tax or sales tax, and at the Federal level to keep their tax liability low they push that burden off on you guessed it the middle class. Their cheap labor abroad and their local property tax and sales tax breaks have given them a tremendous advantage over private business and the loss of that private business has caused communities to raise property taxes to cover declining sales tax revenues lost to corporate perks and the victims of the property tax increases is the Middle Class.
What this is doing, and has previously done in Europe, is allow the corporations to purchase oodles of formerly private property when the owners or heirs can't afford the tax increases. Low interest manipulated through corporate banking, combined with inflation in the areas that that the government does not count it (food, health care, pharmaceuticals, and energy) all combine with low wages to pressure those with tax burdens to dump holdings.
Their attack on the Middle Class accomplishes these things:
1. It will eventually eliminate the only political opposition to their monopolies.
2. It frees up land and property that they want, or want the resources from said property.
3. It creates a majority of cheap labor in an underclass that can't effectively organize against them due to Government influence purchased by the corporations, and the fact that law enforcement agencies are then likely the only ones armed.
So what this is is fascism. Fascism exists when corporations buy the government, drive off the middle class, and empower themselves by manipulating the poor in their service. It's hallmark is having at least 95% of the wealth in the hands of 5% of the population and the maintaining of the illusion of democracy when really they own all the parties involved.
The last roadblock to corporate fascism in the U.S. becoming fully realized is the effective elimination of the Middle Class. Here that means mostly whites who are educated and think for themselves, but includes upwardly mobile black families and Asians and old line Hispanic families who have bloodlines as old in the United States as the DAR and Colonial Dames.
This is why the extremist lefts talking points are so anti white. Forget the racial overtones this is just another clear attack on the middle class which by the way is the bulk of the Trump support.
Our real enemies are the CEO's of the FAANG companies, the CEO's of the largest banking and investment groups, and folks like Gates, Buffet, and Bloomberg. The only money left for them to take belongs to the middle class. When that's gone they'll turn on the millionaires.
The only solution to this mess is this:
1. No Bill of Rights for corporations, only for citizens.
2. No corporate money in elections. Congressmen work for who pays them. That needs to be us, and not the lobbyist.
3. No paid lobbying.
4. Free elections with air time given by all media outlets as their public service.
5. Go back to any candidate getting the requisite 250,000 signatures being placed on the ballots of all 50 states and included in debates.
6. The only contributions permitted to a campaign are those from individual citizens with a cap on how much 1 individual can give.
Do this and we'll have a voice. Let conglomerates donate the majority of PAC money and charge that donation back to the media outlets they own so that in effect what they give to a candidate or party channels back into one of their holdings and you and I will remain unheard, and will never really be considered when legislation is being passed.
My personal recommendation is this:
7. All House Members must be from the business world.
8. All Senators must be from the legal world.
Let's at least clean up the business branch by getting rid of the lawyers. Then maybe handling deficits will be more practical.
