Does any of this strike anyone else as too convenient not to be coordinated?

1) A guy shoots up his workplace for the 50th time this year.

2) The corporate media and its unnamed "law enforcement" sources whip everyone up into a frenzy about the super Muslim "self-radicalized" Bonnie & Clyde couple without offering a shred of evidence that the wife was even at the workplace shooting, Not a single witness reported seeing a short, slight female shooter. Not a single (non-law enforcement) witness has ever even reported seeing this women use a gun, much less an automatic weapon. No documentary evidence of this women ever actually using or even holding a gun is produced, and she is convicted by the corporate media entirely on the strength of vague innuendo, typically from unnamed sources, issued by custodians of the security state.

3) Suddenly, almost every debate question in both the Republican shitshow and the Democratic debate "has" to be about the security state because the corporate media has paraded scary Muslim boogeymen in front of us 24/7 for the past few weeks.

4) On the eve of the debate, DWS and Clinton's Cronyforce software owners conspire to create a bullshit "scandal" to further distract us from the real issues that truly affect normal US citizens.

5) The Democratic debate takes place as DWS scheduled on the Saturday before Christmas, ensuring that almost nobody will watch the entire debate.

6) Every single major corporate media outlet ignores everything of substance that was actually said in the debate in favor of an aligned chorus singing, "Hillary Clinton is the only Democratic candidate any of us can actually imagine staring down ISIS. And isn't this all that actually matters?"

Voila! Another made-to-order "debate victory" wrapped up in a Christmas bow for Ms. Inevitable!

....in 4-3-2-1 Action!

America is just plain weird and crazy. We celebrate a Sociopath piece of trash (Christopher Columbus) and hold back funds to help our war vets. Fucking' nuts.

I won't fall for it. I hope (and believe) most of us won't.

Go Bernie.

....by turning her back on the Democratic Majority, and crossing the aisle to help Bush and the Republicans get their Shock & Awe rolling....


and THEN, as Secretary of State, got involved in another Regime Change in Libya that turned Libya into another Failed State controlled by radicals.


I thought Bernie did a good job pointing out how STUPID it was to use our military to force Regime Change when we have NO EARTHLY IDEA who will replace to old dictator.
WE create lawless vacuums that are an invitation to radical militant groups like ISIS.

thanks to decades of really bad decisions by the 1% and their political pocket-puppets.

But some things ARE planned: Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Yemen, etc....anything that involves big government outlays. 9/11 was definitely planned, we just can't get confirmation by whom.

Frankly, given the basic incompetence, impatience and greed of the players, I dobut they could have the right to say they PLANNED it. They just went around, pushing rocks, to see which ones would cause avalanches, and then, like Wile E. Coyote, neglected to get out of the way (or it reversed upon them).




This cartoon pastiche is priceless!

Hillary is seen as being better on foreign policy
Meida shills build fear
San Bernadino shootings has loose ends-like how everyone reported it was 3 large white men. They also tied everything up nice and neat and when that happens much like the unburned id cards of the supposed 9-11 hijackers, well...it seems to mean that it is made up and made to happen.

and it pisses me off to no end that our government is so corrupt, our media is bought and we have become the country that we use to scare the kids about years ago. We have become that mean other country that is so bad to it's peole with no rights, no health care, women, minority and anyone not rich and white is treated like pond scum. Anyway, it pisses me off that this is the way that we are and I ALWAYS have to wonder what the truth is because I think we seldom see it. I have to question everything. Corruption, thieves, greed- that's us now.
