With our own Country falling apart at the seams, the National Debt standing at $20 Trillion dollars (that's right ... Trillion), and our Country hopelessly stuck in a failed ideology demanding endless and perpetual illegal Wars & "Regime Change" criminal operations all over the globe (7 Countries) while wasting Trillions of borrowed dollars far away Overseas every year, and as our Jobs are systematically outsourced away by design into 3rd-World "cheap labor" Nations, and with U.S. Covert Ops in Syria now building into escalating threats and open Warfare with Russia, one might ask ..... just how the heck do we get off this sinking ship?

Clearly this Country is currently lost, and its current political overclass has no vision, no ideals, no ethics, or regard for its own people (much less the people across the entire world).

Lost in the current superficial U.S. Mainstream Media maelstrom surrounding this Election is the subject of actual policy itself. The American people are longing for change, real policy change, some moment of awakening. Something ... anything ... that might finally move the needle away from the disaster that has become U.S. policy (and "talking-points") for the last 40 years.

But whether it is 3rd-Party challenges, Bernie Sanders, or Libertarian-Right challenges, The U.S. Mainstream Media has always aligned itself squarely against any change movement that is made against the corrupt status-quo interests.

They brainwash the public with War propaganda, conformity, character assassination, 'political correctness', and planted negative stories ....anything... to keep the American people distracted from thinking about real policy change, and from ever questioning what has really been going on in this Country -- as they dutifully protect the corrupt Elite Oligarch interests and status quo.

But this Election has policy consequences -- including whether we stop doing the things that have been crippling our Country, and creating chaos of Biblical proportions throughout the entire World. And one such consequence of this Election may just be whether we will be foolishly going into a state of direct Warfare against Russia ("no Fly Zone" standoff), with potential Nuclear consequences awaiting.

The Media will never talk about the actual policy changes that are really at stake. They don't want change.

And what I worry about most is that the existing corrupt policies continue to become legitimized as our Country continues mindlessly and unopposed on its downward spiral.

Most would agree that neither of these candidates offer wholesale reform, or are in anyway ideal candidates. But the fact that the Media is so transparently aligned against Donald Trump is somewhat instructive here. Can any of these candidates rock the boat? That is the central question of this Election.

Can any of them move the needle against the Oligarchs control of our Country? Maybe it's time to ignore the superficial Media narratives, and take a look at the prospects for any serious policy change.

For the most part, there is plenty on all sides to disagree with, for one to have something to hang his/her hat on here.

But one thing sticks out and is clear. You would never hear Hillary Clinton ever give a speech calling out the failed policy driving our wages down, and making our jobs disappear so clearly, and make a such total, clean break with that policy. And by Donald Trump doing that this would be a real game changer for the middle-class, and American Economic security.

"We're going to renegotiate our absolutely terrible trade deals. We're also going to replace a failed political class that has betrayed our workers, spent trillions on endless Foreign Wars without victory, and destroyed our Middle-Class. Your companies won't be leaving Maine under a Trump administration; not anymore, they're not going to be leaving.

Speaking in secret to a Foreign Bank, Hillary Clinton said her dream is for total open trade and open borders. There go the rest of your jobs. Hillary and Bill raised millions of dollars from Global interest groups who have no alligience to our Country or to our workers whatsoever -- they couldn't care less. By open trade she means that Foreign companies can cheat us out of millions of jobs, and trillions of dollars. What kind of a government allows its own people to suffer like we're suffering?

But if we're going to bring back hope to suffering Americans, we must solve our jobs and economic crisis. Because we have a tremendous jobs crisis. So many of our jobs have gone on to Mexico, to places like China -- the State of Maine has lost 1 out of 3 manufacturing jobs since NAFTA signed by Bill Clinton, and supported by crooked Hillary. And since China entered the World Trade Organization, another Bill Clinton disaster also backed by Hillary, 70,000 Factories have shutdown or left The United States.

We're living through the greatest jobs theft in the history of the World. If I win, we're going to announce our plans to totally renegotiate the disaster known as NAFTA. If we don't get the deal we want, we'll leave NAFTA and start over again, and make much better trade deals. I'm for free trade, but it also has to be fair trade. We want a two-way highway, not a one-way highway. We're going to start making things in America again. America's comeback begins on November 8th.

We're going to have back the American dream. I'm going to fight for every person in this Country who believes government should serve the people and not the donors. Once again we will have a government by, of, and for the people."

---Donald Trump, Bagnor Maine 10/15/2016

And beyond just rejecting and reworking the trade deals (which have far reaching impact for American workers and wages) , Trump's critique is also more broadly directed at the failed tyranny of Globalism itself, and the violent and bankrupt Neocon/Globalist agenda to achieve it at all costs. It becomes more clear then just why the Oligarchs and the Media are so mad at Trump, and have ganged-up on him.

Something's gotta change folks. And, as it turns out.....something actually can change. In this Election, the possibility is there.

I look forward to that change. It won't be perfect in all aspects. I would rather have Bernie Sanders. But the Oligarchs are squirming here for a reason, and the American worker and upward mobility may just be able to get a second chance once again in this Country.

That's something to hang my hat on. When the Oligarchs are mad, you know you're doing something right for the 99%.
