The coup against Trump

Good analysis from CounterPunch on the "Resistance"

The "resistance" is really the neo-liberal establishment. They were clever to pose as a "resistance" when the ones resisting are the "deplorables" resisting impoverishment due to the neo-liberal agenda. But, in the end, as Kurt Vonnegut once wrote, I am "a man without a country." Neither side in this two-sided debate represents my interests correctly, and if truth be told, the nationalist anti-globalization Trumpsters have a better argument than the faux neo-liberal left. Still, we must continue to point out neither of the two really represents the interests of the majority of people.

From CounterPunch on Syria

"It is a flagrant and ubiquitous omission to talk about the Russian military intervention in Syria without mentioning the American threat that preceded it." link

Ike Farewell Address

As the current president readies to give a farewell address, here is video of the very famous and important address given by a former president, at least in part.

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.
