I'm not certain if I'm angry or frustrated by the insulting,
patronizing attitude of the Empire's Goons. On the other list I'm on,
I've been charged with dwelling in the past and being negative. While
these charges are untrue, there is value from studying the past
history of ours, and other civilizations. That is, of course, if our
intention is to identify the weaknesses and the strengths, and use
this information to build a better "mousetrap".
Although I was a young child during the build up and the war years in
the 1940's, I later studied the use of the "Big Lie" approach to
propaganda, as it was practiced so successfully in Nazi Germany. Of
course at the same time I was kept in the dark concerning the growing
sophistication of the American Empire's Propaganda. After all, we
were taught that we did not color the truth. We did not censor the
news. That was what the Communists did.
Today, our American Empire has developed the world's most
sophisticated propaganda machine in history...if anyone cares to look
back past yesterday. All of the mass media is under the control of
the American Corporate Empire. The American People have been given
fluff and nonsense in place of thought provoking information.
Rescuing a kitten from a tree is nice to see, but in place of viewing
the death from our drones? Are the latest Tweets from Donald Trump
honestly more important than the destruction being dumped on the
Middle East, in the name of keeping America safe from Terror? Donald
Trump, like the Pied Piper of Hamlin, has tweeted and tootled us down
his own yellow brick road, to a Land of Never Was. "I will return
America to her former Glory"! "I will make America truly the most
powerful nation on Earth"! And while we shiver and thrill to these
platitudes, Donald Trump's silliness distracts us from the plundering
that is, at this very moment, taking place. And he is setting in
place the judges and officials who will continue to promote this
plundering for many years to come.
Barack Obama set the tone early on when he refused to look back into
the illegal actions, the treason committed by the former
administration. His posture was to Protect the Establishment, not to
allow it to be weakened by exposing its corruption. So Barack Obama
quietly lied to us and sold the American People out. With "Leaders"
such as Obama, Bush II, Clinton, Bush I, Reagan, Carter, Ford, Nixon,
Johnson, Kennedy, and Truman, all protecting the growing American
Corporate Empire, the Old-Line Oligarchy, the Ruling Class. At the
expense of the Working Class.
An old friend of mine, long dead now, but in his day one of the
wealthiest men in Washington State, told me, "Never use your own money
when you can use someone elses." And that is exactly how Donald Trump
built whatever sham personal empire he claims. And that is exactly
the approach used by his Cabinet of Robber Barons.
Still, history does demonstrate that for every Dark Periods, there
comes the Enlightenment. And I still have confidence in the Working
Class, the folks next door, all of us, to build a far superior form of
government.

Yes, because I an angry. Whether or not people understand what is being done
to them or believe the facts, we, the people, are being used as tools by the
wealthy and powerful to achieve their ends which are more wealth and more
power and the fact is that whether they are sophisticated, educated,
socially liberal Democrats or right wing, viscious, racist, Republicans, we
are being destroyed as public services, social programs, financial security,
and our environment are all being destroyed. I'm glad that I don't have any
grandchildren. I worry for the children I'm leaving behind.

Trump has shown the rest of the world what America is really like and yes,
he's a horrible person. But American foreign policy under Obama was
horrible, just better hidden. Hillary Clinton, as Secretary of State, did
terrible things. The fact is, neither she nor Obama are insane. They are
educated and sophisticated and slick. They aren't white racists. Clinton's
greed is well hidden, her business deals more subtle than Trump's. The
people in the Obama administration were highly skilled professionals. The
people in Trump's administration are not. And trump's mental illness plus
the far right wing which supports him are more dangerous.

Hi Carl and all,
Accuse me of Trump derangement syndrome if you like. Anything bad that
happens to Donald J. Trump is good for America so long as he holds public
office. This Charlatan has made himself rich and gained the presidency by
snookering and ripping off all kinds of Americans from business owners to
those in his employ to those he snookered into voting for him by outright
falsehood. Granted that HrC was not a good choice either on election day,
but Trump is spewing a harsh brand of hate that could bring America to its
knees. Perhaps it is that America deserves to be brought low as punishment
for electing this bastard.
I don't see how members of the secret service can protect this bastard and
maintain a good conscience.

Greetings Bob,
You wrote, "Common Americans are quite satisfied with Trump's smuttily
vernacular rhetoric."
First, I had to pause and choke down my incredulity over those words.
You see Bob, I am one of those "Common Americans", a member of the
American Working Class.
I agree with very little that comes from the lips of Donald Trump. He
serves as President of the American Corporate Empire(ACE) and is committed
to destroying what little there remains of a democracy in this nation.
I am an advocate for specificity. Generalizations usually do more harm
than good.
But more to the point, Donald Trump is a Celebrity President. Like Ronald
Reagan, only not as slick, he has been selected by the American Corporate
Empire to represent their interests. It is the ACE that does not censor
Donald Trump's crude comments. It is to their benefit to have our
attention focused on the Rambo style of Donald Trump, in order that they
have a clear road to the pillaging and plundering of what remains as the
property of the American People. The public schools, the parks and
National Forests and Monuments, the Post Office, etc. The Billionaire
Vultures appointed by Donald Trump, to serve in his Cabinet and on federal
courts, feverishly go forward as we look on at the desecration, helpless
to stop it without an open revolution.
There is an old saying, "The Worm Turns"**. Most surely that day is
coming. But we need to organize a better People's Government for the day
when the Empire comes apart. This will not happen as long as we are
focused on the silliness of Donald Trump.
**THE WORM TURNS – “Someone previously downtrodden gets his revenge; an
unfavorable situation is reversed. The saying represents an evolution of
the old proverb, 'Tread on a worm and it will turn.'

Donald Trump appalled the world with his unparalleled competency to
diss anyone. Before his hideously presidential term, he shamelessly
affronted major rivals with the smuttiest expressions you could ever
hear. At this point, I must ask southern evangelists, what are you
backing this hellion for? Is his repellant disposal somewhat
justified in your polemically theological convention? To those who
fend for Trump's disgraceful palaver, your adequacy to represent genuine
religiousness is intemperately oppugned.
We wholly recall what he viciously uttered, raptly denigrated African
nations, Haiti and El Salvador with enormous impertinence during
what was suppose to be a formal meeting on eh, immigration. He
absurdly triggered storm of mass outrage with his intolerably
derogatory remarks. This isn't particularly the prob. It is rather,
his unbearable inselence is vastly endorsed by lay evangelists and
their unconsciously disinformed assimilators. Common Americans are
quite satisfied with Trump's smuttily vernacular rhetoric. What are
we to commend or repudiate about Washington's capitol and its
proclaimed version of ultimate paragon? These people are ruthlessly
approving carpet bombing to extensively secure their corporal
establishment.
They have no actual adherence to excellence. They walk wherever it
leads to attaining their private interest. Thence, I do not expect
them to ever treat me properly. I rather expect them to be broadly
duplicitous, corrupt and counterfeit. I decline to collaborate with
plain hypocrites. I wrote this piece just before I head over to work.
Everyday forward, the genuine portrait of Americanism unveils its
very actual figure to the world. As time goes on, the situation
become more problematic to them. In virtually every perspective,
Americanism is disrespected and vastly blackguarded across the global
sphere. We aren't threatened with instilling fear. Funding and promoting
terror is indeed their primal career.
