I wanted to share my thoughts on the so-called debates after watching the first 20 minutes or so (that's all I could stomach).
Does anyone think that these debates (and past ones as well) aren't pretty much totally fixed and scripted? For one thing, there are only four candidates for President out there (Trump, Clinton, Stein and Johnson) yet the "Commission on Presidential Debates" says that the minority party candidates Stein and Johnson can't participate. To make matters even more Naziesque, Jill Stein was physically restrained and ushered out of the facility for the debates even though she had a legitimate Press Pass!! By the way, the "Commission on Presidential Debates" sounds like it's a government appointed regulatory body of some kind, right? Sorry . . . it is a private corporation that is funded by both the Democratic and Republican parties. Imagine that, a "Commission" funded by the two headed monster won't allow third party candidates to participate in their little fun show.
The bottom line is the participation of the minority party candidates would have presented a major threat to the "Club's" carefully orchestrated Republicrat/Democrin-Right/Left paradigm. In other words . . . they sure can't have someone not under their direct control start bringing up sensitive subjects now can they?? You know, these kinds of subjects:
- Does the USA really fund and support ISIS?
- When the USA blames Russia for basically every problem in the world today why can't the US officials provide any concrete proof of Russia's wrongdoing?
- Why does the USA call the events that happened in Ukraine over the last 2 years a "peaceful change of government" when by any metric used what actually happened was a violent overthrow of the legitimately elected government of that country that was planned, fomented and funded by the USA?
I could keep going but it's getting kind of depressing . . . . .
UPDATE - Regarding item #1 in the list above, here's some recent information regarding that issue (posted on ZeroHedge at http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-09-26/america-our-side-al-nusra-commander-tells-german-press-us-arming-jihadists):
US weapons are being delivered to Jabhat Al-Nusra by governments that Washington supports, a militant commander told the German media, adding that American instructors were in Syria to teach how to use the new equipment.
"Israel is now giving us support because Israel is at war with Syria and with Hezbollah... The Americans are on our side."
Someone called me apathetic the other day because I advocated voting abstinence... Personally, I think it's much easier to remain empathetic if we don't focus so much on politics. The good news is, it's a big wide world out there with a lot of people in it, and only a handful of politicians in comparison. Have a good one
