What Jill Stein Is After (And Won’t Get)

~ admin ~ Leave a comment

[Jill Stein is after] splitting of electors between Clinton and Trump in three states Trump won. The electoral college must pick on a certain date — but if the three states agree that the elections are as yet undecided — electors will have to be chosen by some other criterion — a split or something else.  This will give Clinton victory regardless of whether a recount would award Trump or not.  This was planned by theoreticians — not by Jill Stein.  Stein is simply using this trick because it really will elect Clinton if the states in question agree that the election is undecided.  — Dick Eastman

Dick Eastman, M.S., M.A.  – Defeated Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein has planned and gotten big money for a move that stresses the Constitution by having the election undecided before the date the electoral college must vote. To avoid this crisis the electors of those states may be allowed to vote the conscience — to be bought or otherwise influenced — to vote Clinton. Stein was a Green to keep greens from putting out a viable candidate. Johnson was a Libertarian to keep Libertarians from putting out a viable alternative. This move proves the case. It is a plan — not for a late recount — not to throw the election to the House for a decision (there is not third candidate with electoral votes).

It is rather to force the Electors of those states to go the electoral college uncommitted so they can vote for whom the personally prefer. No other solution is possible to the trap Stein and Clinton have prepared. The Establishment knew that this move would not work coming from Clinton — it had to be someone else. The states must reject because Stein has no standing for such a request. Only Clinton does because only Clinton and her running mate and the DNC are affected by the possible alternative outcome.

Of Japan, Grids, Earthquakes, Geopolitics, And Other Stuff…

earthquakeJoseph P Farrell – This is a strange story, and so many people picked up on it, and sent me various articles, that I have to blog about it. In fact, most people sent me these articles because I had blogged last week about Japan’s involvement in proposals for creating an integrated Eurasian power grid, one able to shuttle excess power from one point of the great Eurasian landmass, and potentially of course, Africa as well.

Anyway, almost as soon as I had blogged about the story, Japan had suffered another earthquake – eerily almost an exact copy of the Fukushima earthquake – rattling the disastrously crippled Fukushima Daichi reactors once again, and sending tsunamis against Japan. Here’s a version of the story:

Powerful quake hits Japan, Fukushima residents urged to flee tsunami

Of course, my impulse to indulge in our trademark “high octane speculation” was certainly triggered by this story, because when the original Fukushima earthquake occurred, giving us the ongoing and continuing nuclear disaster of the Fukushima Daichi nuclear reactor meltdown, I couldn’t help but notice the strange geopolitical context in which it occurred. For those who don’t recall, however, what my basic “argument” was at the time, the following review may be helpful.

Short-Term Negative Long-Term Positive [Video w/ Transcript]

FittsGreg Hunter – Investment advisor Catherine Austin Fitts sums up what happened with the election of Donald Trump by saying, “It’s amazing because if you look at the faction that wanted to sacrifice the United States for empire, you basically had Washington, Wall Street, Silicon Valley and Hollywood. What they have done for the last 20 years is they have used the corporate media to create this color revolution, soft revolution, which is really a front so the 1% can control.

The reality is if you look at what they were doing to destroy the United States, you just had an enormous, very wide group of people say enough.  We did a discussion of the election several months ago, and I said if the right people in the military intelligence get behind Trump, he could win, and I think that’s exactly what happened. . . .

I think the intelligence agencies understand that you cannot leave people to do what needs to be done with people that are used to printing all the funny money they want and have no clue how the economy works. . . . I had no idea how completely ignorant Hillary Clinton was of the whole fundamental economics of the situation.  It’s because she’s been operating with cheap and free money for decades.  I think the intelligence agencies were trying to assert adult supervision of the situation.”

On the mainstream media and Democrats rigging the election, Fitts says, “The problem with being able to rig things is you forget what is real. That is what has been so astonishing. All the people that have been rigging things all these years and the reason they could run things in an unproductive way, and away from market economics, is they could just print money.  The minute you are not able to print money the game is up.”

The Unbearable Smugness of the Main Stream Media

~ admin ~ Leave a comment

Mark Patricks – Of all the press coverage of the recent presidential race, perhaps none was more egregiously one-sided than that of The New York Times.

The famous “Gray Lady” of newspapers is widely hailed as one of journalism’s best-known standard bearers. But in the race between Republican Donald Trump and Democrat Hillary Clinton, the paper gave up all pretensions of journalistic integrity and objectivity as it bent over backwards to not only present the Democrats’ case in the best light but to actually become the Clinton campaign’s surrogate mouthpiece, particularly in the latter stages of the contest.

Even early on, the paper clearly had a different tone and imbalanced coverage that favored Clinton over her primary rival Bernie Sanders, who was drawing far larger crowds than the former Secretary of State. But among the Establishment crowd, Clinton had long been the odds-on favorite not only to win the primaries but to dominate the general election itself, no matter who the Republican nominee turned out to be.

Although the paper has long been an elite liberal voice, favoring Democrats over Republicans for decades in terms of its endorsements and editorials, the journal’s undisguised contempt for Donald Trump stretches back more than 35 years.

To his credit, Trump also has had a longstanding disrespect for the New York broadsheet, blasting the paper’s criticism of his various civic projects and real estate developments around the city.

The Washington Post: Useful-Idiot Shills for a Failed, Frantic Status Quo That Has Lost Control of the Narrative

~ admin ~ Leave a comment

postCharles Hugh Smith – I was amused to find my site listed on the now-infamous list of purportedly Russian-controlled propaganda sites cited by The Washington Post. I find it amusing because I invite anyone to search my 3,600-page archive of published material over the past decade (which includes some guest posts and poems) and identify a single pro-Russia or pro-Russian foreign policy entry.

If anything, my perspective is pro-US dollar, pro-liberty, pro-open markets, pro-local control, pro-free-press, pro-innovation, and pro-opportunities to rebuild America’s abandoned, decaying localized economies: in other words, the exact opposite of Russian propaganda.

My “crime” is a simple one: challenging the ruling elite’s narrative. Labeling all dissent “enemy propaganda” is of course the classic first phase of state-sponsored propaganda and the favorite tool of well-paid illiberal apologists for an illiberal regime.

Labeling everyone who dissents or questions the ruling elite’s narrative as tools of an enemy power is classic McCarthy-era witch-hunting, i.e. a broad-brush way of marginalizing and silencing critics with an accusation that is easy to fabricate but difficult to prove.

Such unsupported slander is a classic propaganda technique. It has more in common with Nazi propaganda than with real journalism.

The real useful-idiot shills are the editors and hacks paid by the Washington Post, who are busy penning articles such as “Why the electoral college should choose Hillary Clinton”. Isn’t this fundamentally a call to over-ride the Constitutional framework of the republic’s democracy?

In other words, the ruling elite’s candidate lost, so let’s subvert democracy to “right this terrible wrong” that was wrought by fed-up debt-serfs.

Substitution is a useful technique to reveal propaganda: if Trump had lost by a thin margin, would the The Washington Post publish an article “Why the electoral college should choose Donald Trump”?

Any site suggesting such an outlandish subversion of American democracy would of course by labeled Russian-controlled propaganda by The Washington Post. In other words, it’s OK for the organs of Imperial Propaganda to call for the subversion of the Constitution, but if someone else dares to do so, you know the drill: they’re labeled a tool of Russian propaganda.
