With Bernie Sanders disposed of and the coercion of "moderate Republicans" underway, Hillary and the "Democrats" will continue to move further to the right, corporate power will continue to expand after the "election", the Constitution will continue to be shredded, the Pentagon beast will continue to prowl through the Middle East, there'll be finger pointing at Putin and fearmongering about terrorism every damn day of the week, by everyone in power, by everyone in the corporate media, by everyone accustomed to profiting from the slaughter and carnage of Endless War, Incorporated.

There won't be days of hope, there'll be days of lasers in the jungle, lasers in the jungle somewhere. There won't be days of disengagement from the Middle East, there'll be days of Reaper and Predator drones, killing in the desert somewhere. There won't be days of economic justice, there'll be days of TPP treachery, plotted in the shadows of the Deep State somewhere. There won't be any days of miracle and wonder, there'll only be days of betrayal and plunder.

Corporate propaganda will be even more pervasive, those staccato signals of constant information are becoming a 24/7 deluge of constant disinformation, that loose affiliation of millionaires and billionaires is consolidating into a global cartel called the Clinton Foundation. They want what the Clintons want--POWER. Absolute, beyond challenge, permanent. They want what the Clintons want--WARS. With Russia, with China, with ISIS and Iran and Pakistan, pick a country, any country, if it has resources worth at least $10 it's on the target list.

And guess who'll get to fight their wars?

It was a dry wind,
And it swept across the desert,
And curled into the circle of birth.
And the dead sand falling on the children,
And the mothers and the fathers,
And the automatic earth.

The political establishment sowed the winds of war in the Middle East, but we're the ones reaping the whirlwind. The economic establishment sowed the winds of exploitation across American society, and we’re the ones reaping that whirlwind. The media establishment sowed the winds of Trump vs. Hillary, and the whole world is going to reap a whirlwind of ruin because of it, a whirlwind of ruin because a pathological liar is going to be in the White House no matter who wins that pig circus propaganda contest they're calling an election.

Decent human beings.

Seven billion of them.

Dominated and exploited by monstrous hypocrites.

That's the way we looked to Bernie until he endorsed one of the monstrous hypocrites, that's the way we look to anyone with a conscience, that's the way we'll look to whoever is left to pick up the pieces, that's the way we'll look to a distant constellation that's dying in a corner of the sky, while our own world is dying all around us in this little corner of the sky.

But don't cry baby, don't cry,
Don't cry, don't cry.

Because we're doing everything we can to turn things around, because we're giving everything we've got to make this world a better world. Because we're facing in the right direction, and when you're facing in the right direction you just keep going.

Welcome to Caucus99, new members and new readers. Welcome, exiles from TOP and refugees from what used to be the Netroots. I know what it's become, you know what it's become, we all know what it's become--the DNC Ministry of Information. Well to hell with them, we're here to tell the truth and we're going to keep telling it.

It's great to see you here, it's great to have you with us . . .

You'll need a good companion,
For this part of the ride,
So leave behind your sorrows,
Let this day be the last,
Tomorrow there'll be sunshine,
And all this darkness past . . .
