Free entry and competition in the production of
goods is good, but free competition in
the production of bad things is not.
Free entry into the business of torturing and killing innocents, or free
competition in counterfeiting or swindling, for instance, is not good; it is
worse than bad. So what sort of
"business" is government?

TO MORE HATE on TRUMP more CHANCES for HIM to WIN the race.
I’m not his
supporter.. NO WAY.. I’m in favor of objective realism, and
I believe in VOTES as freedom, as right & as way of
building new power
Because of, I plan to
vote Jill Stein. She is & I’m
socialist, by principles
If the corporate media continue excluding her from main
debates
I’ll will definitely
foster ABSTENTION against the rigged system.
And..
I’ll demand the Green Party to call Abstention to hit
anti-democracy.
….
Read this
... the dominant
media narrative characterizing Trump supporters as a bunch of
racist, uneducated brutes is pretty much
just dishonest, elitist propaganda.
MY ARGUMENT:
It doesn’t matter the hate of the presstitute
on Trump.. as long as they mention his name. The more
they say on him.. more propaganda against the real dishonest liar and fraud-maker
in the opposite site.. Everybody knows that the
image Hillary project in the political mirror cannot bet transferred to another
person..
No matter what they say on him.. he is going to win the
elections.. I’m saying this because I believe in
objective realism.. People is fed up with this charade of democracy:
both candidates of the duopoly system are billionaires liars and dishonest,
supporters of the collapsing neoliberal system. Since the chance for a 3rd
option was thwarted by the betrayal of Sanders, many people distrust the system
and either won’t vote or vote in favor of “not evilness” of minority
candidates. The “presstitute” hide this reality. They only say that both
candidates of the duopoly system have high rate of negative vote.
Decomposition of democracy is a Fact, is an objective
reality. In the language of R Dahl we are transiting
from a “closed oligarchical hegemony” articulated
by the “deep-state” and the FED, toward a “competitive oligarchical system” in which the
tough competition between elites of the oligarchy –its internal division- will affect
the unity of the FED and introduce real state autonomy in States like Texas and
other in the South (perhaps regional separatism from the FED). Either the current
Fed and its “deep-state” is recycled and changed radically, as proposed by
Trump, or being destroyed by the competition inside the oligarchy.
Clearly some sectors of the
oligarchy are not in favor of war with Russia-China-Iran, as Hillary and
the military industrial complex endorse. They interests will be affected by WW3,
so they won’t endorse it easily. If world
recession comes before war world 3, they may be open to accept an updated
version of the Glass Steagal, as
proposed by FDR in similar situation. What after elections
& its relation to WW3 and/or Global recession?, that is is the key Qt. now.
So far there are only two
possible answers for the aftermath of this elections. The 1st
aftermath is the one above: the recycle and radical change of the Fed and
its “deep-state” otherwise the competitive division with destroy the FED and
create State autonomy or regional one. The 2nd aftermath of
this election could be the open doors to fascism, as described by FDR, the
direct observer of fascism in Italy and Nazism in Germany. This can be run by
either Hillary and Trump, more by Hillary than Trump because of her connection
with the military industrial complex. This may happens in the name of national
security and to face the human barbarity of WW3 that she is fostering, or in
the name of Economic prosperity for all, if the global recession comes first.
Facing global recession with WW3,
will create a huge anti-imperialist reaction at global level. There will
be many Benghazi experiments against US embassies and military barracks. The
basis of US companies worldwide will be destroyed too and all pro-US regimes
will be overcome by military nationalist. The fast end of the empire. I don’t
think this option is valid.
Regarding VOTING. I’m not supporter of Trump.. and much less of
Hillary..NO WAY. I’ll vote Dr. Jill Stein -and her VP-
because I’m a socialist .. I believe in electoral democracy First as freedom (
we are not obligated to vote or ABSTEIN), Second as right (the political and moral obligation to
fight for the eight conditions and principles of real democracy, stated by R
Dahl in “Polyarchy”), and third as a way of
creating PEOPLE’ power againstthe establishment. For all these reasons I
will vote for Dr. Jill Stein. If Jill is running in
my State –the swing state of Pennsylvania- that will be onemore reason
to vote her. .. BUT, if at national level, the corp
media continue excluding her from main TV debates, I’ll definitely
foster ABSTENTION and I’ll demand the Green to reject also the current rigged
system… and propose to their followers ABSTENTION against the anti-democratic electoral system.

WHAT TO DO TO AVOID THE COMING ELECTORAL FRAUD?
Posted on October 6, 2016 by WashingtonsBlog
By Michael Snyder, the Economic Collapse Blog.
If you have confidence in the integrity of our
elections, that confidence will be shaken by the time you are done reading this
article, because I am about to share some information with you that is
absolutely astounding. Yesterday, I showed you that dead people are being
registered to vote right now and that they have been voting in elections
across the country for years. I also showed you that illegal immigrants
have been voting in important swing states such as Virginia and Pennsylvania.
But all of that pales in comparison to the evidence of systematic election
fraud that we witnessed on election day in 2012.
Because Mitt Romney threw in the towel very
early on election night in 2012, very little scrutiny was given to the actual
voting results. But if Romney had been willing to fight, there was
actually quite a bit of evidence that the election was potentially stolen from
him.
According to the Election Protection Coalition,
voters all across America reported over
70,000 voting problems by five o’clock Eastern time on election day in
2012. In many instances, voters that were attempting to vote for Mitt Romney were having their votes switched to Barack Obama by the voting machines.
We are going to look at some examples of this phenomenon below.
….
....
IT IS TRUE: THE
MACHINE THAT COUNTS VOTES, DECIDE WHO IS THE WINNER.
Who control those
Machines? is the key Qt.. Is it true that this Co is
working with Hillary’s clan? .. Is
it true that the hacker has been threat to death (drons) if he publish info in
this regard?.. Is it true that the main stream media is
paid to hide any demand for independent investigation on frauds if using
current machines and companies?.. What Trump can do to avoid the coming
fraud?.. We will see..
IT IS TRUE ALSO THAT: If any evidence is published on this regard.. THE WHOLE
STORY ON ELECTIONS WILL CHANGE. It is expected
HUGE ABSTENTION, and the worse, possible SABOTAGE to elections
shows.. If happens the whole relative “national stability” will be severely
disrupted .. Not talking about this problem.. won’t avoid it.. it will only
postpone the event .. while clandestine groups prepare to act on this possible scenary.
.. Not body wanted .. but it is expected some effects
and sub-sequent events derived from electoral fraud.
TO AVOID IT,
is urgent an independent committee to examine those machines .. OR Just prohibit
the use of current machines with the purpose of creating a new machine that allows immediate
reliable recount of votes. Plus… many additional rules
should be approved and severe punish set to pollster’s owners and TV companies that use to manipulate
and speculate on non-official results .. Nobody should publish any non-official
result, until the double count is
not finished.

“No one on the ground
believes in this mission or this effort”, a former Green Beret writes of America’s covert and
clandestine programs to train and arm Syrian insurgents, “they know we are just training the next generation of
jihadis, so they are sabotaging it by saying, ‘Fuck it, who cares?’”. “I
don’t want to be responsible for Nusra guys saying they were trained
by Americans,” the Green Beret added.
In a detailed
report, US Special Forces Sabotage White House Policy gone
Disastrously Wrong with Covert Ops in Syria, Jack Murphy, himself a former
Green Beret (U.S. Special Forces), recounts a former CIA officer having
told him how the “the Syria covert action program is [CIA Director John]
Brennan’s baby …Brennan was the one who breathed life
into the Syrian Task Force … John Brennan loved that regime-change bullshit.”

The “nuclear option” is the extreme-measures button you
push when conventional approaches have failed and you’re facing certain defeat. In terms of upsetting the global economy’s
precarious balance, there are two nuclear options short of actual
nuclear war: pinning oil to $30/barrel or even lower for an extended period,
and triggering a sustained rise in the US dollar. (USD)
Let’s glance at weekly
charts of oil (WTIC) and the USD:
OPEN IMAGE AT: http://www.oftwominds.com/photos2016/WTIC10-16a.png
Oil producers and their
lenders/creditors had a near-death experience when oil plunged to $27/barrel
early in 2016. At $30 or less per barrel, revenues from oil sales
are no longer sufficient to support enormous domestic welfare state spending
and debt service.
It’s pretty simple: pin
oil at $30/barrel for a year and you destabilize every nation that’s dependent
on oil sales for its revenues. Oil producers in more economically
diversified nations such as Canada and the US go bankrupt or drastically
curtail exploration and development to survive.
A bunch of stuff is no longer
affordable to oil-revenue-dependent nations once oil is pinned to $30/barrel
for months on end: massive social welfare programs, servicing sovereign
debt, waging war, either directly or via proxies, and propping up cratering
currencies.
Cratering currencies open up another
Pandora’s Box of financial and economic horrors. Which brings us to US dollar, which gained 20% in a mere six months in
late 2014.
