The Very Best Candidate to Preserve the Status Quo!

Of course, the Ruling Elite has their hair on fire after hearing this statement of Bernie's because, in their eyes, each and every item on this list makes Hillary Clinton eminently qualified to be the next President of the United States.

If you haven't heard of the Panama Papers, you need to. Leaked from a Panamanian law firm, it's one of the largest leaks of all time, revealing the way some of the world's most controversial leaders hide their assets. Allies of Vladimir Putin. Ukrainian president Petro Poroshenko. King Salman of Saudi Arabia. Ayad Allawi of Iraq. Top Chinese officials. The son of the Malaysian prime minister.

This was originally a comment I posted in response to reading the article by Bernindownthehouse: It's not just the fossil fuel money thread. I just got piqued enough to rant, but comments also most times tend to be short, and they tend to be lost more easily, so I had to add to it, and let folks know more of how it strikes me that we have so screwed up a society. I also am amazed how so many supporter of the status quo do not see this and how Hillary is so wrong for America overall.

For all the talk on some unnamed supposedly liberal

sites, one topic that is rarely discussed is hispanic and young white voter suppression, particularly outside the South. In two recent cases one can see how both IL and CA have suppressed both. In IL the Clinton surrogate state election official ensured that university towns did not receive enough ballots, disenfranchising tens of thousands of actual liberal voters.

As Chuck Dickens once inked,

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way – in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only.

We have several problems in this state. A devious, deceitful, TeaBuggered Governor who wants to run for president in 2020, a sneaky, lying, nasty bully ruining one of the best cities in the world, financial issues, crime issues, and more. Just a peak at one of our papers says it all.

Corruption, reciprocity, and the influence of money

Bernie Sanders' message about corruption is a significant part of his campaign. He speaks forcefully about a system in which legislation and political favors are essentially bought by donations from large donors. He does not call out any individuals as such. There's a good reason for that: the kind of corruption Bernie is talking about isn't bribery.

It felt like a veil had been lifted from my eyes and I had a totally new understanding of people and events pushing the levers of government when I first listened to Catherine Austin Fitts explain how trillions of dollars were sucked out of the US economy by an organized crime syndicate consisting of government and big banks.

The next step must be to root out all of the greed and lawlessness, right?
