We Often Forget... "Let's Not Forget" and Become and Be Always Better For It.

We often forget (the influence's impact, of what money distorts)



... in the high end of the marquee university network, they educated the wealthy, both democratic and republican... and at that level of wealth, there are times the lines gets blurred, "because" !!! it not all about the education, its about the networks, as well as the expanse of endowment and the benefit it provides to bond those networks people build. There is no such thing as an all democratic profession in any business sector, nor is there an all republican profession in any business sector.
When money is the matter, the lines blur many different shades of grey... ((Such university is put out of reach of the Average America, and even the general State Universities is priced out of the range of the average America today. We need to understand what they means, and why is was set in motion, under the Reagan Administration. As was the Federalist Society created in 1982 that deals with Filling Positions of Judges in America and many other Conservative Agenda Concerns and Ideals. It was not for the Democratic Ideals, nor the better benefit of the general society of persons. ))

As Democrats we need to know what this means, and what it means as to the work we need to do. To promote the Ideals of the Democratic Platform. THAT WORK, WON'T BE EASY!!!

I can see it in this site as I've seen it in various other sites, the nature of challenge which caused us to loose the congress and the presidency, and we need to "get ready for the real work it takes to win it back".
When subject matter gets to what is realism about the people, about class and race and such things as economics, "silence is at an all time high". It tells a story!!! We can't afford the story it tells.

I've worked with heads of companies and the executive teams, and within the business planning and strategy, what is not present is any inference to being "democrat or republican"... its become about how to "increase profits"... customer services is nothing more than an annoyance they deal with to get to the profit markers they aspire to achieve.

Many of the feeder schools that feed the Ivy League system, do not teach the things we may speak about as general people, they speak and teach what they have always spoken and taught. That is how to keep wealth in the hands of the wealth.
The pomp and pageant stamped upon and after a degree, is they are taught they are a world apart from general society.

Unaware that everything about the general society is what feeds and fuels their position, and how they derive their wealth and what leads to them conferring status upon one another, by label or title.

When it gets down to the raw nitty gritty of what the Democratic Platform Promotes, there becomes a distortion. That distortion was seen in the mass of white males and white females that voted Republican. "Because" beyond much, it becomes about "the money" !!! Much of what Trump has done and what he say's does not pierce many deep enough, because they know in the world of money, what he does is what many do... Is anything... that gains "more money".

Russians were well aware of this, they know how to get into the wealthy community, the same as they have learned now to invade the poor and rural communities, because that is where they sow discord and Destabilize Society, but on the other end of the spectrum, "where the money spins"... people with it, know the networks that spin money, they know the systems that help hide money, and they were as lust driven for the rip off tax cuts as were many others, because its again, "about the money".

Many are taught that the average person is too complacent to give them any regard or allow them to build in social cohesion that can translate into power.
They are of many who "detest the drive of black people"... because black people know, that it takes cohesion and it takes standing up to the system of power and money, simply to be respected as a human being, let along to move forward to gain political power and influence. It's a thorn in the sides of the "money and power"... so they push and support and allow the same tool they used during segregation to be used today... and "that's police violence and brutality up to and including murder".... because they know it distracts blacks to have to fight against it, while the money and power makes moves in a directions to distance themselves and build block out walls in the meantime.

There's reason of many why people run from many post, and there is reasons why a few hundred people can read and have not a single word to say. But, they will spin jokes on a "meant for distraction article" in the list of 100's.

Republican know this, they've studied these sites and they know the gullibility and the fallibility of people sliding off the mound, when its time to throw a strike ball.

We sadly have a society lulled into the spin of "every 6-9 months being duped to buy a new phone" to take picture, play games and watch video... and the trips is... all the phone will do it. But they shell out 100's just to say they have the latest this or that.

The general system of political policy is for too many, only an opportunity to sling a pun, crack a joke and think they have made a difference. Republican see that and have studied it carefully... the mess with Facebook and others only now trying to clean up a mess they made, because they cared only about "the dollar"... ONLY when it cost Zuckerberg a few $billion, does he now pretend to want to correct what he can't correct. Facebook has sold out to everything it could on the Internet, where sites unrelated to Facebook, request Facebook sign in's. So, the mess is beyond Facebook's control, but they know the people are gullible enough to fall for the spin and drama of pretense to fix what it can't fix. " ((WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Facebook Inc (FB.O) said Tuesday it has data sharing partnerships with at least four Chinese companies including Huawei, the world's third largest smartphone maker, which has come under scrutiny from U.S. intelligence agencies on security concerns._
Earlier on Tuesday, the Senate Commerce Committee demanded that Facebook's chief executive officer, Mark Zuckerberg, respond to a report that user data was shared with at least 60 device manufacturers, weeks after the social media company said it would change its practices after a political firm got access to data from millions of users.
)) " I Guess, the real truth is: "The pursuit of Money" compromised the billion people Facebook claims are members.

Most people in the work place will not even mention anything political and often time friends will not even discuss it.

Republican created a diversion with bombs in the sand in Syria, and when the dust settled, they have slid a man into the Supreme Court seat. People never figured out how we got shammed.

The News talks and talks and when Republican come on, they allow them to push any narrative they want, and while they do so, the media heads back off, because their seat before the camera and the pay check is far more important to them than truly standing the ground on point and fact.

Trump learned during the campaigning, that he can say and do anything, and people grips a bit, he distracts and divert attention in another direction and give them some outlandish trash to spin, while the republican go ahead and move on policy and government systems dismantling.

While the general public is given another Dose of Social Destabilization.... !!!!


As Democrats lets get busy, and stay focused, and not keep chasing the rabbit like we're at the county fair... its not about winning a teddy bear... its about work needed to regain narrative, promote narrative and regain control of this government, before it becomes something none of us can even fathom to think.


this was posted as an OP, it is part of the "Social Destabilization" OP.

Social Destabilization - ((The Russian Plot and the Republican Agenda))

Social Destabilization is today, a more powerful and damaging tool than for a foreign country invading another with bombs, troops and bullets!!!

It's the means of overtaking a country from within!!! and its done by the assistance of the people within the nation, and the callous and lazy minds that don't create general publican narratives to counter it. Hitler used it to an extreme, and Trump and Republican are doing the same with the full on Assistance of Russian Operatives.
It's why the Republican bought up Media companies and had the one company, reading a pre-scripted line of madness. And we sat back, with no counter narratives push and none promoted in these forums to counter such stuff. Russian money is all over the place, and pushes the madness of the Republican Agenda and we have no concern to see the truths with a passion enough to flood these sites with public narrative to expose it, address it and make more people aware.

And then... some have the audacity to attack when one writes to address the need to generate more narrative into the public sphere.

Such "Overconfidence" has once shown us what it results into, and that is why we have the existence of Trump in the office of the Presidency. This Democratic Overconfidence is an atrocity!!!

We should not just assume people support Democratic views, we have to be Proactive to Assure This!!!

A DIVIDE HOUSE CANNOT STAND..... the simplest principle there is, and we are gullible to allow it.

Trump Profited, when Obama Put Sanction on Russia (The Truth about Russian Interference)

If we remember the sanction Obama put on Russia

As well too remember the point where the Ruble Fell Sharply and their oil revenue dropped sharply.... They were "furious" and they sent their money around the world in the "dirty money cycle" trying to preserve value in their wealth holding.
Trump benefited greatly long before his run for office. When there was no other viable legal means for him to have gotten money.
It was Russian Money that he and many others tapped into. He became vocally a Russian advocate and the more he advocated the more money Russian put into his properties.

But at the same time, the long game, is to weaken America, and the best way to do it is to feed into the racist divisions that rose up to a fever pitch during the election of Obama, and the economic Devastation left behind by Bush. It was a perfect recipe for Russians to rush in and feed discord, especially through the white males and the rural red states white people.

The polls showed overwhelmingly how white males voted Republican and Voted for Trump, and even with the madness of abuse of women, the white women chose to vote Republican. Then there's Hillary, who would not stand down to Putin's antics, the aim to tarnish her was in overdrive, first with the Benghazi, and then about something as minor and insidious as emails.

They played the gullibility of Americans to fall for "drama antics" and forget the long history of works by Clinton. Besides she was a "woman", that did not sit well with the historically male dominance ideals that is pervasive in Right Wing society.

We better get smarter and stop running from the truths that we see and know... many may skip right past this thread, yet as democrats they know there is Russian interference, yet, won't engage to expand and expound on their thoughts so others who may come upon this site, can have narrative and content to arouse and inspire them to become more aware.

Such acts do not help us.... But, I'll keep writing anyway, hopefully those new people who venture upon this site can be inspired to expound and spread public conversational narratives. We should be concerned about the Russian spies in the U.S.

Russian spies in U.S

The U.S. decision to expel 60 alleged spies is unlikely to cripple Russian spying in the United States because others have wormed and hacked their way into American companies, schools, and even the government, current and former U.S. officials said.


We can be sure that in all the America Forums there is likely Russian Spies, trying to size up the concepts and attitudes of America people, among the many other likely objectives they have.

One would likely not even know when they are encountering a Russian Spy.

Watched a show last night, "Anyone could be a Russian spy, even your next-door neighbor. The Plot Against America.
Interesting show, as it showed concepts of Russian Focused Determination, upon often time unsuspecting Americans.
on A&E

We have a situation in America where there is Russian Links all saturated in the Current Administration, and its no way we can dismiss it, based on the "denials of the current administration".. Between "MONEY" and other compromised individuals who have not a closet full of stuff, but many closets full of stuff.... and "money" matters.... We'd be even more insidious to not give this the high credibility of truths, that our own and other nations Intelligence Agencies - have allowed by various means for us to know !!!!

We have even more need and reason to promote a Democratic Public Interactive Conversational Narrative on a daily basis, for the many people who frequent the wide variety of social media and discussion forums as well as general social interactive conversations.
We truly don't have time to be doubt-filled with assumptions that everyone knows the values of the Democratic Platform, nor do we have time to assume we can be lax about the infestation of Right Wing drives for social disruption along with the movements of the increased number of white nationalist, white racist and wide array of groups that are operating in the U.S.

Social Destabilization is today, a more powerful and damaging tool than for a foreign country invading another with bombs, troops and bullets. When we minimize the damages such tools cause, we then become susceptible to Social Destablization, and today we see it has increased to a fever pitch, and its being fueled like never before, and its coming from our own Presidential Administration and our Republican Right Wing Congress.

We continue to see many exposures of Republican in all natures of compromising situation, and the entire Republican Congress living in Terror of Not Submitting to Trump and his Russian Connected Gangs. Likely many of them have so many skeletons in their closets, they fear exposure if they don't side up with Trump, or simply go silent and rubber stamp what ever comes along. Add in the aspirations of old style confederate idealism of class and race segregation, and we have a situation that promotes increased instability all across American society.

Crowd cheers when valedictorian quotes Trump. Then reveals it was Obama

LOUISVILLE — Bell County high school student and valedictorian Ben Bowling wanted to share some words of wisdom with his graduating class, but there was a twist that no one saw coming.

"This is the part of my speech where I share some inspirational quotes I found on Google," Bowling said in his speech. "'Don't just get involved. Fight for your seat at the table. Better yet, fight for a seat at the head of the table.' — Donald J. Trump."

The crowd burst into applause.

"Just kidding," Bowling said. "That was Barack Obama."


Young people seem to have a way to expose the hypocrisy they see.... !!!

Rick Santorum says Barack Obama 'exacerbated racism' in the U.S.

Rick Santorum says Barack Obama 'exacerbated racism' in the U.S.

This has to be the most IGNORANT COMMENT EVER!!

What’s being ignored here is the role that Barack Obama played in all this,” Santorum said. “You can’t just go from ‘well, we elected out first black president’ and ‘all of a sudden we get Donald Trump.’ There was something in between those two things.”

According to Santorum, “many, many, many people” saw Obama being racist himself and “doing more to exacerbate racism” in the United States.


When a whole nation of right wing racist minded white people created the "tea party" with their slogan , "we want OUR country back !!! That's the ROOT OF WHITE RACISM THAT BEGAN TO RISE UP, the minute they saw a black man in the office of the President. These same type of white people, refused to hold GHW Bush accountable for starting wars and crashing the economy. They refused to hold Republican white people accountable for "Making a Pledge to Oppose Obama', and skirt their sworn duty to respect this nation and serve this nations Democracy.

Then you get an asshole like Santorum, who thinks its black people's job to "educated and teach white people to stop being racist"... MLK, spent his life trying to teach them the value of diversity and respect of democracy, but they were so deeply entrenched in the historical grooming of Jim Crow Ideology, until they could not hear anything, It took LBJ and the force of Law to get them to even regard Democratic Civility of Multicultural People. Every white community in America aspired to the guidelines and policies of Jim Crow Grooming. It was only by the laws put forth by LBJ, that forced them to cut the crap and regard others or face the penalty of law, and then these same historical groomed white people, did everything they could to circumvent the law, until it was necessary to create Affirmative Action to tag and charge their dumb asses with violation of discriminatory policy and practices.

Santorum, is a direct product of that long groomed in Jim Crow Mentality in how the thinks and the policies that he promotes and the ways that he has no respect for public services, because he thinks like George Wallace, in that he detest any white tax money being beneficial to any non white person. YET FOR 100 YRS. white people used black tax money to build up and contribute to the building of their white communities and everything they thought would just benefit white people. Then for 100's of years before that, it was white society that profited from slavery, and those profits built much of what is the historical growth of America. That was contributed to by Chinese Labor, Japanese Labor and every other minority that was used and abused and under paid for the labor that profited white society.

Anyone who has the slack and lazy mind to accept such a vile ignorant comment from Rick Santorum, demonstrates the continuance of the influences of have been groomed in the Jim Crow edicts that pushed policy and habit, into common daily living standards and concept in how they live and how they groomed their offspring's.

It's amazing the blatant ignorance that is overtly promoted by segments of white society.
Then we have the Democratic Platform that says it stands against this stuff... but the public narratives is not highly promoted to speak about how it stands against this, the narrative is not put forth to speak about white people as being the promoters of the racism that has infected America and Damaged the Economy, Destroyed the Industry and Created havoc in public policy... As if, silence will make it go away... When silence has never done such.

JFK told people : "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing." The quote can be attributed to Edmund Burke wrote about the need for good men to associate to oppose the cabals of bad men

People can run from the truths, but I will continue to write thoughts about it, as the many who come to this site that is not a member may have some narratives and thoughts to reflect and expound upon. American people have much work to do to deal with the truths of American's Racist History.

America has Issues

And it will continue to take public narrative in commentary and discussion to deal with it, thank goodness for the internet, because today, many sites discuss what many try to avoid discussing and other run away from discussing... but everyday, more and more people write and create the narratives of commentary and discussion... and it is those efforts and acts that will continue to help America address the truths it needs to address to move this Democracy forward.

Many white people are not accustom to reading things written by black people, so they fight it, attack it and try and skirt by it and ignore it... Because the history in America for 100's of years did not want black people to read, and certainly did not want them to write, and now black people do read and the internet has promoted the avenues for black people to write, and much of white society does not know how to deal with it, so they attack it. But... the good thing is, the black people who do write, are not intimidated by the white people who attack what they write and the narrative they bring into commentary discussion. The more black and other minorities write, the more will be exposed and brought up into public commentary that can and will promote public narratives to address and discuss the things that have long been avoided.

As the old white saying goes... "everything is fine, black people are just making trouble"... but what they really mean is...
"Black people are upsetting the white dominated sphere"... and white people want to retain dominance and white privilege, while claiming to stand for equally, but many only stand for it, as long as it does not disturb their white privilege, and the deep rooted ideal of thinking themselves superior. Because to let go of that, is to also acknowledge the vile of their own ancestry who created and promoted that craziness. They try and play it off saying.. 'well that just how it was in those times"... as if that is an excuse for the "vile of ethical violation against humanity", and the social vile and violation against and upon the dignity and person-hood of others. Yet, these are the same people who claimed to be of God, and God principles of regard for humanity... but they only saw that as something for whites to feel and promote and support only in and of others white people.

Time and the technology of today will continue to "expose it all"... and the real truths continue to come out. We have not even touched on the vile of the abuses of human sexuality and the savagery that was done upon and against minorities over the long history of America. Nor have we even begin to speak about what was done to the white woman, in her being relegated to the status of "being a possession"...

There are many many truths people will run from, and detest the discussion of, but time and the people of this nation and this world will write about it, and speak about it, and make the narrative that composes the commentary of these long hidden truths about America..

THE HARDER WE WORK TO BRING OUT THE REAL TRUTHS, THE BETTER DEMOCRACY WE WILL BUILD AND PROMOTE...

Building a better future .... has not and is not a job that will be undertaken by the slacking and frail character, nor by those with lazy minds.

Genesis 3:19
In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.

When man transgressed the divine law, his nature became evil, and he was in harmony, and not at variance, with Satan

Trump lawyers sent special counsel letter arguing President can't obstruct Russia probe

No matter how they try and twist the system in America, Trump is not above the Law.... and for Trump and His Attorneys to even attempt to try and promote such, they each should be tried and convicted of subversive activities against America.

The asshole Republicans and Trump should realize "TRUMP IS NOT ABOVE THE LAW" -
It's unfortunate that as such craziness continues, the whole of America may find that "blunt force" becomes the means to put this madness to rest. That may sum up to become necessary for Real American Justice to come into being, that this comes out as being charges of Treason and Subversive Acts Against America, By Republican and Trump...bringing the stiffest penalty that Treason has under law, be enforced.

We move Forward as America - "STEP BY STEP" ..."Not" by Leaps and Jumps....

Some of his Ideas are Good for a Democracy where Social Justice Supports Social Democracy ...
Sanders has been around long enough to know that we won't do it in leaps and jumps.. it will still be step by step. Therefore, he should not lead his followers to think that he or anyone else can create a system that Leaps and Jumps, and his followers should know better than to expect this nation to suddenly become one that Leaps and Jumps... Therefore, he would do himself, his followers and our system far more benefit, to accord himself to work with a framework of more Democratically centered positions, that in principle can aspire to the long term aspirations of some of his ideals, but be wise enough to know... the only way to achieve them, is STEP BY STEP.... Not Long Leaps and High Jumps...

I think what he needs to do is "embrace the Democrats, who have the like ideals about "equality" in the voting process, and various other things he speaks of that are in line with Democrats. Some of the more far fetched things, he could do much better to work with Democrats and Streamline those things to fit the framework of a more Democratically centered position.



For those who really want to think it through... because the pixels in the reality picture include many things...

Giving Thoughts into truths that must be faced

Things we can't run from, and things we must continue to face and work with and work through as America


We need to figure these things out, before "NOVEMBER" and certainly before "2020".

The demise of "Sears"

failing year after year.... but one thing they would not do to try and figure out how to modernize and survive.

They could have gone to any number of Black Colleges, and chosen a CEO from their Business Graduates.... and may have found out, different idea from a different ethnic cultural perspective may have helped them learn how to turn their store around.

All the once "dominant white society elements faded from prominence" along with that group who supported the "old model" of Sear, either died out, got old and in geriatric stages, or simply at the post retirement age that they no longer do frequent shopping.
20 yrs after no one was wear Polyester Jim suits, sears was still filling their racks with old 1960 style polyester suits and pants. of expecting people to buy 1960's mid west attire, when the whole nation has changed several times and they could not keep up.

They lost out everything, when they once provided 'everything".... Lack of Executive Diversity in a Changed World, brought them exactly what they got in this day and time... Stores that are closing "rapidly".
They never in a million years should have bought Kmart... But... they stuck with that one ethnic one dimensional thinking. And they've been loosing every since society became more Diverse.

They did not pay attention.... the crowed they once catered to.. fell apart after 1964 , the same one dimension thinking took down Montgomery Wards, and has Damaged JC Penny. We saw the same thing happen to F.W. Woolworth.

It would be great if some venture Capitalist understood the dynamics and went and scouted the black college campus, and take note to the ideas that people have and the business knowledge they have gained.


Look around at reality, blacks people contribution has revolutionized the music industry, has a profound effect on the tonality of a great many TV Commercials, has brought new dynamics to a multitude of Sports, and will soon being making progressive advancement into what and how the advances of Technology continue moving forth.

But,,, since they'd rather close shop and fail... then to give a black man/woman a chance at helping them survive. Then so be it.

Putin's Boy (Trump)..Should get Treason's Stiffest Penalty!!!



A report that U.S. President Donald Trump has threatened to pursue German carmakers until there are no Mercedes-Benz rolling down New York's Fifth Avenue dented shares in the luxury car manufacturers on Thursday.

An excerpt from German magazine Wirtschaftswoche's article, which cited several unnamed European and U.S. diplomats but did not include any direct quotes, could not be independently verified, while a U.S. Embassy spokesman in Berlin referred questions to Washington.

The news and current affairs magazine said Trump had told French President Emmanuel Macron in April that he aimed to push German carmakers out of the United States altogether. Macron's administration in Paris declined to comment on the report.


Maybe all the specialist trained in our U.S. Military, should readjust their target to the current White House Administration and the Republican Congress!!! All the specialist trained in our U.S. Military signed up to "Protect America".

EXCERPT: Declaration of Independence

"" We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpation's, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.""

He (Trump) has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.
He (Trump) has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them

He (Trump) has called together legislative bodies at places unusual,(his private club in Florida) uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their Public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.

He (Trump) has endeavored to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.

He (Trump) has obstructed the Administration of Justice by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary Powers.
He (Trump) has made Judges dependent on his Will alone for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries
Trump is GUILTY OF:
For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:
For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:
He (Trump) has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.
He (Trump) has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavored to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless
In every stage of these Oppression's We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince (Trump (Kushner & Ivanks), whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.
