Things I learned on Twitter this Past Week From Dem Centrists

Bernie Sanders' campaign was orchestrated by Putin to sabotage Hillary and elect Trump.

Glenn Greenwald of the Intercept has deep ties to Putin.

So does Donna Brazile, who is a Putin stooge.

Mark Zuckerberg is a Putin propagandist. So are the folks that own Twitter.

Julian Assange should be executed for treason even though he's not an American. Also he is Putin's biggest propagandist and co-conspirator with Trump.

Russia is the most dangerous nation on the planet despite the lack of an adequate military because they control elections all over the globe, and cyber weapons of incredible size (or something).

The internet is too dangerous to allow free speech to flourish there. It must be censored to protect us from (wait for it) Russia. This is especially true of Left wing sites.

You should only believe news broadcast by the six media major companies that control the media market.

Mention any Clinton scandal - literally any - and you are a Putin bot and a traitor.

Joe Biden is a wonderful guy and he's our only hope to beat Trump in 2020.

If you use the phrase "ordinary Americans" you are a racist and hate Latinos, LBQGT and any other minority. This is especially true if your name is Bernie Sanders.

"Income inequality" is code for white supremacy.

Hillary Clinton deserves another chance to be the President.

Canada has the worst health-care system in the world. Just ask anyone.

You should be afraid, very afraid, all the time about everything.

All Republicans are pedophiles and sexists. Democrats, on the other hand are unjustly accused of sexual harassment and assault, especially if their name is Bill Clinton.

The Republican Tax Bill is horrible.

One of the above statements I believe. Can you guess which one?

The alt-right constantly bitches about 'the left' taking away their freeze peach, but have those morons really ever lost anything in that regard? No. No, they haven't.

They can still do and say all the stupid, harmful shit they please and the corporate state won't even bat an eye.

@gjohnsit @gjohnsit @gjohnsit banning progressives on Twitter for being Russian bots without any proof other than that their tweets do not accept the #Russiagate narrative. And if Congress gets their way they will probably ban users who link to a source outside of legacy media or the large corporate media conglomerates. Hell they made RT America register as a foreign agent, the only media company required to do so.

I don't post political stuff on FB. I do use Twitter a bit and try to push c99 articles when I can. I have been blocked on Twitter by Joan Walsh so that's something. Still waiting to be blocked by Peter Daou and Joy Reid, but I expect the number of twitter followers I have isn't enough to deem me worthy of blocking, yet.

@Steven D Two very popular Twitter posters, Charliepeach and Peter Douche were banned. Charliepeach was banned for supposedly being a Russian bot while Peter Douche (a parody account) was banned for impersonating a real person, Pete Daou. What do these two banned people have in common? They both represent the real left.

I wanted to embed a tweet from Julian Assange, but Twitter would not give me the embed code. I tried tweets from others and no problem getting the embed code for those.

The establishment is getting real nervous. They know that their time is coming quickly to an end and they are doing everything to prevent that.

Look for more censorship coming soon!

@gulfgal98 Charlie Peach was the one I meant when I spoke about people being banned for the accusation of being a Russian bot, but as I recall it was mentioned at the time she was not the only one who received that treatment.

Not Henry Kissinger's picture

is basically what they are saying.

For a center left party to paint its activist wing as foreign dupes/stooges is politically non-sensical. McCarthyism worked (for a while) for the center right Republicans because it united the base against a common leftist 'enemy'. Tying leftists to the Russians also worked well for Hitler's right wing party.

Yet all this neo-McCarthyism does for the Dems is alienate a big chunk of of its own base. How crazy is that? Why on earth would anyone vote for a party whose leadership insults them as dupes of foreign subversives? Who are they trying to appeal to? The Deplorables?

I think we need to do away with the underlying assumption that the Goldwater Dems running the party are in any way rational political actors. They are delusional, spiteful, viscous greedheads who have lost their tether to sanity and are floating in an irrational void of childhood TV nostalgia for a time that the rest of us would just as soon forget.

It's like watching The Iron Lady when you finally realize Maggie truly is off her rocker.

And God help us if any of these old, corrupt nutjobs ever actually do get back into power.

Because you know who they'll be coming for.

The current working assumption appears to be that our Shroedinger's Cat system is still alive. But what if we all suspect it's not, and the real problem is we just can't bring ourselves to open the box?

@Not Henry Kissinger some of those "deplorables" back into the fold. And they do not need their lefty base - they hope we do just sit it out because then it won't take nearly as many deplorables for them to win. While I do agree these people, many of them anyway, are not that sharp there are very sharp ones above them running this whole damned show, a show they've been running now for decades. And the end of that show is open full on Corporate totalitarianism in Murka.

Just because you are sharp doesn't mean you aren't nuts.

Often quite the opposite in fact.

And don't give them too much credit just because they run the show. The ones in charge now are not the ones who built the system. They merely inherited the family business and have done nothing in their time but run it into the ground.

Yeah, I'll just bet... The other one - Red Scare - still works, but they may have thought it was actual instruction on how to report suspiciously decent and caring Americans as 'Commies'. Or possibly Wobblies as in the dreaded Industrial Workers of the World.

Psychopathy is not a political position, whether labeled 'conservatism', 'centrism' or 'left'.

A tin labeled 'coffee' may be a can of worms or pathology identified by a lack of empathy/willingness to harm others to achieve personal desires.

Kevin Bacon Worked with Neve Campbell in Wild Things (1999)

So clearly the Pirate Cascadian Resistance is directly run by Putin.

Oh wait, that doesn't exist. Ignore that. There is NO Pirate Cascadian Resistance.

Pay no attention to the man with the cannon.

for all intents and purposes. Facebook is slowly but surely killing off all competition - anyone who doesn't want to hand over all their personal information so they can conveniently communicate with family and friends is being left behind.

It doesn't matter what you "need to know", doxx yourself or stifle in silence.
