  1.  @PATTHECATMCD  : Yep. They're trying to tighten the screws. I think - HOPE - that these 19th-Century-style elites are going to find that the old ways of controlling perceptions no longer work. They're taking it as far as they can - and farther in the UK in many ways than in the USA - but I think they will eventually be tripped up by a new transparency that - it turns out - works AGAINST the elites as much as it helps them. Yeah, they can spy on ALL of us, and singly any of us out for retribution. But they can't single ALL of us out. There're just too damn many of us. And the tech they weaponize against us, time and again is weaponized against THEM. It turns out that their intrusions against us can just as easily turn into intrusions against them. Yeah, you can use your old-school political-machine bullshit to deny Bernie the nomination, but your arrogance left a big hole in your servers, you got hacked, and now all the back-and-forths are public domain, and your lies and deceit are writ large for all the world to see. Strzok manipulated the process at FBI/DOJ in the time-honored way, and got tripped up sending love notes to his mistress on his FBI-issued phone, before Mueller was in place as special counsel to wipe the phone - which he faithfully did, which is why the compromising texts are ALL from the time before Mueller was Special Counsel, to execute the cover-up.

  2. And any big state has a lot of city folks living in situations FAR different from the situations of people in suburbs and rural areas, especially. In cities you have a gun-fearing populace who are all the time shooting each other, and a gun-embracing culture in the countryside where NObody gets shot. Real estate can run in the millions per square foot in the city. In the country, it's $1,000 per acre. Totally different settings. Totally different kinds of problems and people and problem people. The idea that centralized administration and control is how we should run things runs counter to liberty and good management practice. You need the people to know what they're about where they are, and not be told what to do by strangers living in artificial urban environments and gated communities, a thousand miles away. Federal intervention is for acute, short-term crises, but it's no way to run things day to day. Trouble is, every ACUTE problem the government sets out to solve turns into a CHRONIC problem, with immortal agencies whose existence (and paychecks) depend on there being a problem that only they can "solve." Is it any wonder that 10s of millions of people are on food stamps? We have an entire INDUSTRY (industries) devoted to "solving" the problem of hunger. No surprise, there are more and more hungry people every year, which is used to justify MORE such programs and spending, when in actuality it should only be used to justify firing ALL their asses!

  3. I think we're seeing a Great Awakening, where people are finally seeing that the Establishment Left are unfit to govern. There's a broad agreement reaching from Libertarian to Progressive (and everyone in between) on most of the abuses of power. The Libs will still be opposed to the socialist tendencies of the Progressives, but that shit can be worked out, and I think most Libs are fine with social programs that are NOT run by the Feds, who have proven time and again that centralized control doesn't WORK for a diverse country stretching across an entire continent. What works for Michigan doesn't work for Louisiana.

  4.  hoodiewoman louisiana  : Foreign meddling is a by-product of democracy even though the people, by nature, don't like it and don't like war. This was one of the "problems" for leaders of so-called democracies, around the end of the 19th and on into the 20th century. It was solved by propaganda. Step by step, persuade the people how terrible some foreign leader is, and slowly overcome the resistance to violence by demonizing and dehumanizing whomever the elites decide it's in the elites' interest to destroy. Lately it all starts with 1. nexus of terror designation. 2. economic sanctions. 3. no-fly zones and "surgical" air (drone) strikes. 4. need for "regime change." 5. Operation Iraqi freedom, destruction of Libya, occupation of Afghanistan, and, most recently, supporting/destroying (nobody's sure which) ISIS in Syria. These bastards never stop. And they're no different from Victorian-era imperialists, except for how they cover their tracks and hide the fact that it's imperialism.

  5.  @eliseville  : It's always sobering to learn the details, until you get to the point where you understand that this shit just goes on in general when you hand over too much power to anybody. I frankly don't see any way out, because the people are so attached to a fascist system of entitlements that keeps them at the State's beck and call. It'd be funny if it weren't so sad, but the shit that the people demand from government - and Jimmy Dore wants Medicare 4 All - is the very same shit that makes them the pawns of government. Progressives, especially, live in denial, fighting engines of destruction their thinking and their policies tend to create. Progressives feed the beast their whole lives, while railing against the beast. Progressives want the tit and then they're offended when government switches from the tit to the fist and demands "Who's your Daddy?"

  7. 6:03: Not only was the money very small, it was also pretty evenly spread to insult all campaigns, and the troll farm that got the indictments was - I believe - in business to sell advertising. The reason the big tech firms and Democrats are all butt-hurt over conservative and progressive voices and warn of the dangers is because they've been trolling - rather unsuccessfully, it turns out - since Day 1. The senate campaign down in Alabama that you reported on. The guys warning about trolls are the trolls. The ones colluding with Russians (and other foreign nationals) to sabotage their opponents with smear campaigns are the ones accusing Trump. The ones decrying hate speech are the ones PUSHING it. (Kill all white men.)

  8. That's why hitch-hiker teams put the chick out on the shoulder, while the boyfriend hides in the bushes. And Progressives fall for it every time, like Charlie Brown and Lucy, railing against the machine they're dead set on building up.

  9. Are you kidding? Homeless people are an INDUSTRY. Haven't you ever heard of Section 8 Housing and all the other wonderful programs? All the people in Housing and Urban Development make their LIVING off homelessness and deprivation. Who're you kidding?

  10. They're good voices on some subjects, but they're dumbasses about domestic policy. They prop up the elitists by asking gummint to solve everything and they they're surprised (or pretend surprise) when gummint runs off the rails. I'm with Jimmy on the abuse of power in the security and foreign-policy realms, but I part ways when they're blind to the exact same shit going on on the domestic side in the name of compassion. The only kind of compassion government is capable of is the compassion it showed Saddam Hussein and the Iraqi people.

  11. Government are the thugs we reluctantly authorize to kill worse thugs who threaten us. No more and no less. You don't ask the Marofia Don to run your health care system. And it's because we already DID ask that health care is the way it is, now, and a culture of entitlement reigns. Ironically, medicare-4-all might be a less damaging way for government to participate in the healthcare system. The system we have is essentially fascist/socialist, but nobody's really admitted it or structured things to run efficiently. Thing is, anybody can go to any emergency room and receive free health care, right now (after a long wait). We already divorced the users of the SERVICE from the actual price of that service. It's all set up so you save money by avoiding checkups, short term, and store up health problems that cost big money, long term. If ALL the government did was pay for a free checkup for everybody every year, and they caught stuff, early, that would probably save a ton of money. But it still begs the question of there being ANY service not directly related to national defense being provided by national government. It's just too easy to fuck things up for everybody when you allow a handful to decide how any good or service will be rationed for the general public. That's tyranny. And guys like Jimmy Dore want government bureaucrats to run health care, and I just think that's one of the dumbest, most fascistic ideas, ever. Free health care was how the fascists got their START! It's an essential feature of fascist takeover, invented by Junkers in Germany when industrialization was making the people a little too independent and uppity. Kept the Junkers on top for another couple generations, as I recall, and paved the way for Hitler.

  13. I was pretty oblivious about the Church Committee. All I got from the media on it was that he outed a lot of our agents in foreign countries. This was the first I heard of the CIA embedding agents in media. Only stands to reason they would do that. Half the battle for the spooks is manipulating public perceptions. If the public's in the proper frame of mind, they get a gold star for dirty tricks, instead of blowback. Of course, there's always blowback, but usually not on the people who created it . They got their goodies and are gone while the rest of us pay with our money and blood.
