The attempt to blame the electoral insurgencies in the United States’ two ruling political parties on Russian interference, rather than massive social inequality—the worst in the industrialized world—is a desperate ploy. The courtiers in the corporate press are working feverishly, day and night, to distract us from reality. The moment the elites are forced to acknowledge social inequality as the root of our discontent is the moment they are forced to acknowledge their role in orchestrating this inequality. This terrifies them."<br /><br />https://www.truthdig.com/articles/the-cost-of-resistance/Jay–Ottawahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10360356126450612113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-974773076690597683.post-31499679969095317862017-11-05T07:14:33.632-05:002017-11-05T07:14:33.632-05:00The NSA does seem adept at vacuuming up all commun...The NSA does seem adept at vacuuming up all communications by legal and illegal means, with a huge (unlimited?) black budget. Which comes to the question of what their 30,000+ employees are doing with the data. For example, are they just collectors who savor the data for its own sake, with no intention of sharing it with other three-letter spy agencies? Or are they just not very good at figuring out what is important? Or some combination? We are left to speculate, with our elected officials disinterested in these questions.<br />voice-in-wildernessnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-974773076690597683.post-14592522943757682172017-11-04T21:10:02.154-04:002017-11-04T21:10:02.154-04:00What a sham.

Rather, it's because the PTB failed to successfully influence the election despite major efforts. They did everything in their power to help elect their Chosen One, [genuflect] Hillary Clinton and hurt Trump. Nearly unanimous national print media endorsements, Hollywood celebrities, the Intelligence Community, Neocons, Neolibs, and Wall St. all chimed in and put their money where their mouths were, but all that money and power didn't work. That's what REALLY scares them. Not only that, but they never saw it coming. They won't allow that to happen again, and that's why they're engaged in a power grab with Silicone Valley. <br /><br />The DNC created the superdelegate/lobbyist/insider system for the same reason - to ensure that Democratic voters never again elected a George McGovern type. This election is resulting in another shakeup, not of the electoral college but more basic elements they can control or buy involving media and official propaganda. It's an information power grab. <br /><br />The PTB have far too much invested in the political system to allow 'folks' to risk undermining it democratically and corporate capitalists ending up the dreaded 'Uncertainty', the enemy of Markets and businessmen everywhere. While Trump is currently playing ball, there is no certainty about him. <br /><br />Hillary, on the other hand, was a sure bet for certainty. She had already been pre-paid for her performance, just as Obama had been (even being given a list of Citigroup appointees). They must realize by now that their confidence in Madame Secretary and her judgement was misplaced, with her half-baked 'Pied Piper' strategy to help Trump win the nomination with media overexposure which ended up helping him get elected President. The monster that Dr. Frankenstein and her complicit media created couldn't be controlled. <br /><br />So now Russia! is being used to inflame the masses in support of the soft coup to replace Trump and justify morphing the 'Collect It All' Big Brother into 'Control It All' Big Daddy. Social media is being drafted into the propaganda and censorship army, like it or not, for National $ecurity reasons to protect us from dissent, division, and discord before the next Presidential election. It's no wonder the Donkeys are so on board with this. They don't believe in legitimate elections either. <br /><br />Social media has already been free-lancing in the censorship racket, so they'll not resist becoming more officially involved, especially if they are promised compensation. Last summer there was widespread suspicion that Twitter blacked out tweets about DNC and Podesta emails. Recently that 'conspiracy theory' was confirmed when the Twitter CEO testified that he did indeed hide 50% of all the #DNCleaks, and 25% of all the #PodestaEmails, despite the fact that only 2% were of suspicious origin. And that was just one confirmed venue (looking at you, NYT), and evidently not coordinated with the State Department's new Global Engagement Center, aka Ministry of Truth. <br /><br />No power player needs to be told what to censor by some sinister leader or new federal agency for domestic propaganda. They already know because they have the same mindset as, and the same ownership by, the corporate Powers-That-Be. <br /><br />Electoral surprises are a risk to the national intere$t because they threaten the Certainty which is the lubricant for the global economy. Nothing can be allowed to jeopardize that, not even democracy.Annenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-974773076690597683.post-56532677715630301492017-11-04T13:41:08.529-04:002017-11-04T13:41:08.529-04:00“I woke up election morning and it felt like maybe...<br />“I woke up election morning and it felt like maybe what the Apostles experienced on Good Friday.
