    The Zionist Occupational Government flexes its muscles and reveals to all clear-headed observers with its controlled-media hubris that it is the essence of anti-democracy. It understands that the grossly unfair and biased coverage of Trump during the election was transparent to many people and a key reason for the “Republican” victory. But it simply does not care. It believes that its multi-decade stealth infiltration of the press, political parties, finance, our educational system, judiciary and intelligence branches has created an unassailable deep state fortress that can be used to co-opt American “wealth” and power for its own interests, which are not in sync with those of America’s majority. Trump’s election was an unheeded warning that seems to be leading to a situation similar to the end of Custer’s last stand: the Indian women stoically punctured the inner ears of the dying soldiers with sharpened animal bones and pithed their brains, calmly saying, “We told you, but you would not listen.”

    “The MSM have focused on getting Hillary elected, and they failed miserably.”

    I cannot agree with that, because Google News had Trump’s face plastered on articles even about Hillary. Usually his face was on the first 3-6 articles. Daytime TV news was chalk full of Trump Talk, and he kept that going by being controversial, unpredictable. When I lived in Scotland in 1979-1980 working on the BP40’s offshore oil rigs, the daily newspapers were tabloid rags with all sorts of weird articles obviously intended to be shock entertainment. At the time US news was still a serious business, but lately and particularly with the advent of Trump, the political news has become a stream of tabloid type articles. Even when he was caught talking about grabbing women where he shouldn’t be grabbing them, he came out just fine about a week later. People in the US have I think gotten bored with regular, serious news and want tabloid type silly news. They want to know about the Kardashians even though that makes no difference in the world whatsoever. They are taking Opioids to counter their depression over the failure of their own existence to live up to expectations and offer some solace to the manner in which people in the US have sequestered themselves from social interaction, cocooned into the wrappings of a dull and listless existence of work, sleep, work, sleep, and greater debt to keep up pretenses of success while realizing their parents seem like financial wizards due mostly to having lived during a time of more favorable EROEI and a lower population in which housing was much less.

    If we do go up in a big fireball nuclear war, people at the fringes that do survive will be torn between the joy of being entertained and the suffering of radiation sickness. They’ll take an Opioid concoction, smile and perish.

    We are now stuck with a Bizarro-World deviation from what use to be considered normalcy, in which a buffoon like Trump seems entertaining, filling the news with possible nuclear war with NK, or possible impeachment from collusion with Putin to put him in office, using hacked info. on Hillary the EMAILER, or eliminating EPA standards to help the super wealthy get wealthier so they can more easily fund R campaigns so they can eliminate more regulations to get even richer while poor people drink ever more toxic water, and when those poor saps suffer from cancer, they’ll be laying there wondering if that entertainment was killing them and causing their families to go bankrupt on hospital bills. Ah yes, but the opioids can even dull the nausea of cancer while watching tabloid news.

    Well, maybe, but we know from Wikileaks own release of Hillary’s emails that she specifically ordered those sympathetic to her cause to put Trump in the media 24/7. Why? Because the whole plan, and the plan of encouraging Trump (her pal) to run was to paint DJT and the GOP as the “Extreeeme” and take the middle. They WANTED him in the news. The PUT him in the news. You notice other candidates like Ron Paul, going back 50 years they just shut them out of the news, and they fade away. And we know all that. It’s public record. That he took her up on the offer, and played into the media’s depiction of him as “Right Wing” and “Extreme” (when really he’s a 50-year centrist Democrat from multicultural NYC, supporting abortion, gun control et al) that that backfired on Hillary and Podesta, well, whose fault is that? I’m not making this up, we have the emails, we have the DJT quotes, we have the open admissions from the media (“we did everything we could for her” –Cuomo), just go read them. I’m sorry she lost, but that wasn’t due to the media helping. The people’s perception’s got this one right, the media’s been pretty open about it.

    Wow. I don’t know where to start. Trump may in fact be a centrist personally, but he is governing as a far right president. Gorsuch is not only socially conservative, but a corporate stooge as well. Tax cuts for the 1%, everybody else can suck the hind teat. 54 billion more for the war machine, etc., etc.

    What the American electorate was given for a choice was a center right Republican (Hillary) and a fake populist who is now governing from the far right. A similar choice was given France this past weekend.

    The corporate media is complicit, but Trump and his minion’s incessant, bald-faced lying is a rich target indeed.

    So,,, the choice was a crook or a clown. Now, instead of being forced off the cliff at the point of a gun, all serious like, we must jump off laughing?

    One thing to understand,,,as soon as the intertubes become a threat to pols, it will be reined in equally, with the penny press.

    Thanks Raul, for your steady, clear-thinking pieces! We are so, so distracted as people…in America and probably the rest of the Western world. So obsessed with celebrity, scandal, cat videos, and drama that soon I fear we’ll forget how to tie our own shoes. Who cares which of two dunces gets elected for President and who interfered? Politicians are not looking out for any of us. The US, too, interferes in elections, why are we so aghast at the prospect of another country doing so?

    Looking forward to dropping part way out of society, it’s getting bad.
