This Sign post

Actually, although most of my blogging will be done on my main blogger, tumblr, and Wordpress - I feel as though I will still use this blog for my audio rants (podcasts perhaps?). Oddly, even though my YT videos on politics get very few views (I might still put the audio on my YT channel anyway), my audios seem to get more views (which I think translates into listens).

(S)election 2016 briefly

Haven't posted here in a while, and thought this was the place for a brief post about the upcoming elections. We are in big trouble. And, in spite of the overwhelming conventional wisdom that has Clinton as the lesser evil, that likely is not the case. As Assange stated, "A vote for Hillary is a vote for endless, stupid war." While Trump at least wants to get along with Russia, Clinton wants to establish a no fly zone over Syria, which will mean direct confrontation with Russia. This is very dangerous.

And Trump is a disaster in every other way..... We the people, no matter the outcome, have already lost this election.

Ellen Brown says "print the money"

This comes form information clearinghouse. Ellen Brown says she agrees with, of all people, Trump, at least when he says, "print the money." I used to be completely on the other side of that debate, but Ellen Brown and others have changed my mind a little bit.

For instance, and this a bit tangential, for too long Hamilton has been portrayed as the villain, and Jefferson the hero - but is that really so? Probably not.
