The human species is very comfortable with killing. There is a sham morality that says killing can be bad but it carries so little weight in the big scheme of things. All carnivores kill for food, but this is something else.
Well, this is the big one!
Despite the DNC & the media's best attempts to shut down the Sanders campaign here it is, June 7th and we are still trucking on towards the convention!!!
I will be posting election return results as they come in as well as watching and commenting on the live stream of The Young Turks election coverage.

Therefore, it's no surprise when it behaves like one.
Bernie said there was corruption. Well, we found it.
The only surprise here is that they were this ham-handed and blatant, seriously jumping the gun when there was no need to, using a method which could create a lot more blowback than other, subtler methods.
How consistent systems are. Tonight we were informed that the oligarchy has decided to stop Bernie before the remaining sham primaries because they fear the result.
Pinch-hitting-(hitting-hitting) for shaz (shaz shaz)....Tonight I consider myself....the luckiest blogger....on the face of the Earth. I'm whupping up an OT on the quick.
First, a little background before I get to venting about the state of the world.
DATELINE - Philadelphia, July 7, 2016.
In what has already been the strangest, unpredictable political season, things just got weirder. Much weirder.
How we got to this time and place will be written about for generations to come. One thing is for certain - nothing, absolutely nothing is certain anymore.
The plans to set us up for repression at the Philadelphia convention are all too transparent. Nevada was a first step. Having been a movement leader in 1968 I can see the similarities in the oligarchy's strategies but there are huge differences in the context.
I did not not think they would lose their composure so quickly but they muist be willing to risk it. Nevada was the turning point I think.
The tactics used there foretell what is coming. Look for it to get much worse. They fear the massive turn out expected at the Philadelphia convention and will make it clear that you go there at your own risk.
Rex Murphy of the National Post (Canada) has a great article about Hillary Clinton's long and painfully winding road ahead.
He sums it up as:
In Clinton's dreams, Sanders is The Monster from the Lagoon. Trump will annihilate her
I have virtually stopped writing and read less and less. I feel very alone. I am watching a system fall apart and as I watch the people in it seem to be engaged in even more theater than before.
This is not an election we are watching and maybe participating in. It does not even resemble an election. For years and years some of us have pointed out that our elections are a theater used by the oligarchy to narcotize a television watching audience.
