The United States of America has been reduced to a he said/she said soap opera. I guess it could be worse. But I'm trying to think of an example and I can't.
I'd Love to change the world
But I don't know what to do,
So I'll leave it up to you.
"Ten Years After, I'd Love to Change the World, 1971"
"No nation could preserve its freedom in the midst of continual warfare. " -James Madison
"Of all the enemies of public liberty, war is perhaps the most to be dreaded, because it comprises and develops the germ of every other." -James Madison
"The spirit of this country is totally adverse to a large military force." -Thomas Jefferson
"My first wish is to see this plague of mankind, war, banished from the earth." -George Washington

I spent Thursday and Friday night watching live feed of the protest in Charlotte and the supporting protests in Atlanta, also following twitter, and FB feeds of supporters of the protests and the general flow of "commentary" on twitter, you-tube and so on. I would like to share my observations:
Rant. This is just a rant by a dude in a room in a house. It's just a long comment so don't sweat it. I was going to write about how I am interested in a new political system because the one we have sucks. But I've done that before on this blog and it didn't turn out so well. People either don't want a new political system or think it simply can't happen therefore it's a stupid fucking idea, magic fairy dust stuff.
Confession time.
Occupied Milwaukee is looking like a "war zone". People shooting people, cops shooting Black males running away from traffic stops.
All the marionettes of the corporate state can think of is "Less Guns." MSM ignoring protests unless cop cars and liquor stores are burned by Black or Brown folks. Its the same sort of dog-whistling bull shit that brought to us by those same Clinton manikans who invented "super-predators".
First Wordpress.com took down Guccifer's most recent links:

Then they suspended his Twitter account:
The system I speak about is the composite of political, economic and other facets of our world. We have seen it from a political perspective and this is myopic at best.
The latest threat to its stability was the disturbance caused by Bernie Sanders. The threat was not that he might become elected but that his words would really change people. Yes they did change people but not many in a way that really matters.
The deadlines are here for Ballot Access that will determine if we have a sincere, honest progressive to vote for in November. The Green Party is using both paid petitioners and volunteers to gather signatures. You can donate here to pay petitioners. If you want to volunteer, here are state deadlines, and links to state Facebook pages and contact info for 18 states:
