in decades.

Whether I'm more sensitive to it or it's just that much more prevalent, the propaganda has been spread on thick lately. For example, the seven-dimension chess game we're playing in Syria is being exposed now.

I am still waiting to see an actual name who is a source about Putin's spying and hacking of Hillary. It's all absurd.

In days like these truth is decided upon in the backrooms, foisted on the public and then, judging on how much the public accepts or rejects, another modified limited hangout is released for the hoi polloi to chew on.

Hillary had every advantage, called in every favor, rigged the primaries, exploited the frauds and criminals in all industries, engaged in quid pro quo with human rights abusers and terrorism sponsors, she was aware of the electoral college and she still couldn't pull it off because of who and what she is. Hillary commanded and made deals with her vast resources to install her as POTUS. Hillary lost because she doesn't look at the 99% as people who have lives, have hopes, have dreams, have needs, have inspirations, and have every right to exist just as she does.

Hillary lost the election because she is an irredeemably vile person who is so impaired that she didn't realize a few lies out in the Mid-West were all she needed to win. That is an epic level of contempt for people.

Personally, I would've added NPR without hesitation.

How Teens In The Balkans Are Duping Trump Supporters With Fake News

Using domain name registration records and online searches, BuzzFeed News identified over 100 active US politics websites being run from Veles. The largest of these sites have Facebook pages that boast hundreds of thousands of followers.
BuzzFeed News also identified another 40 US politics domains registered by people in Veles that are no longer active. (An April report from the Macedonian website Meta.mk identified six pro-Trump sites being run from Veles. A Guardian report identified 150 politics sites.)
Their reasons for launching these sites are purely financial, according to the Macedonians with whom BuzzFeed News spoke.
“I started the site for a easy way to make money,” said a 17-year-old who runs a site with four other people. “In Macedonia the economy is very weak and teenagers are not allowed to work, so we need to find creative ways to make some money. I’m a musician but I can’t afford music gear. Here in Macedonia the revenue from a small site is enough to afford many things.”

But...but...they didn't make a difference, agreed.

Corporations don't like that more and more people are tuning them out.

So, when you can't sell your product even to suckers, there are two ways to still sell it.

1. Eliminate the choice.
2. Legislate mandatory purchasing.

Depending on the product the corps use one of these two. With Health insurance it was the second, and with the Internet they're going to go with number one until it people continue to seek other options.

Then they'll go with number 2.

There's so much obfuscation, red herring bullshit and purposeful distraction going on by both the pestilent Neoliberal cesspool of the Democratic Party and the complicit lapdog MSM it's hard to keep it all straight.

Never have I been so glad that I've been off Farcebook for over a year than for this election season, and we jettisoned cable tv years ago. But from what I read the latest manufactured controversy du jour are these anti-Trump/pro-Hillary protests these media bastards are using to deflect from everything else. Anything to make sure they don't have to engage in some self-reflection of their own outsized responsibility for Drumpf. And not a journalistic word on the gargantuan failures of Neoliberalism at the core of Democratic philosophy these past 25-30 years.

Can't get this video to embed but Gary Null played it on WBAI today and it is right on. A little poem with images by someone named Carey Wedler, called "This Is Why America Will Get The President It Deserves" (for some reason it won't embed. Please check it out; it's pretty kick-ass).

And just one more time...because it's sooo good:

MSM spins positive for a shitty candidate aided further by the worst in social media with derogatory fake news. I'm still happy she remains unelected. Now to get rid of Trump before he completely fucks up the internet.

Villager. Prolly lives in Chevy Chase, just off Conn. Ave., or Silver Spring, just off Georgia Ave., to be as close to the Beltway as possible while still maintaining deniability by claiming, "I live in Maryland."
Of, by and for the Village - the little people be damned.

Media did all it humanly could to prop her up, but it was hopeless.

Sounds as though someone got to Zuckerberg and Pichai. (I think google is the worst of this, not facebook.)

As far as fake news, heaven help us if the owners of facebook and google, who aren't even trained journalists, become the arbiters of truth. It's bad enough, mass media NYT holds news stories for a year or more upon government request. All the News That's Fit to Suppress.

What's next? Will internet service providers soon be deciding what is sufficiently truthy to be on the internet? Will twits tweet no more?

I caught the talk about fake news on the Diane Rehm show today and tried to call in to remind her of her interview with Bernie, when she asked him about his dual citizenship, which she later tried to justify by stating she found out about it...on the internet.
