  12. ​@Derrick Blanton : Correct - Empire is one the Third Rail of American politics. I couldn't have said it better myself. Expose the crimes of the empire, their crimes against human rights, strategies of deception, or the atrocities of their military or one of their imperial agencies (e.g. CIA), and they will come after you with a vengeance. Just ask Daniel Ellsberg, Edward Snowden, Julian Assange, John Kiriakou, Thomas Drake, William Binney, and the many that have suffered for exposing US empire. And having a Congressperson make an effort to visit one of the plutocrats' intended targets (Wesley Clark - "Seven Countries in Five Years"), and then talk against their propaganda narrative of lies, is the ultimate sin. It gives grist to those that are exposing the mill of empire and that cannot be tolerated. Any Congressperson who speaks the truth exposing the plutocrats will have no future in politics; just ask Cynthia McKinney. As for plants within the system; I have my own suspicions. Mayor Pete - employed by McKinsey - need I say more. As for AOC herself, I believe that she was supposed to happen, but unlike many (e.g. Obama), AOC is not an effective actor. She is obviously scamming the people and she knows she is scamming the people. Attempting to sell the people on the absurdity of not being taxed on loan forgiveness that is never going to happen makes that a little too obvious. She could have just said NO! to that request as stunts like this are making her political capital wear exceedingly thin; and maybe that's intentional - I don't know. As for Trump; that was both intended and a mistake; it depends on where you are looking. The more radical plutocrats (e.g. Mercer, Adelson) appeared to have backed trump in 2016 while others (e.g. Silicon Valley) detested the idea. You know there was a battle going on because even the Austrian-Libertarian plutocrat Charles Koch called for a vote for Hillary. Compare that to the elections just passed where the plutocrats of the finance companies (e.g. Lloyd Blankfein) threatened to vote for Trump if Bernie ever became a threat. Personally, I liked Trump for the disruption he bought to the political system. He continually said, "We should Take the Oil" exposing the empire. Even at his speech at CIA HQ, he said "We might get a second go at Iraqi Oil", that must have been embarrassing for those plutocrat minions. Trump wasn't the problem; he was just a petulant fool caught up in the plutocrats elaborate strategy and a perfect tool for the media to exploit the ignorance of the population. In my opinion, Trump would have been lucky to find his own way to the bathroom. Trump was just another puppet too confused by the political upheaval to be any real threat. The real threats in the Trump or any administration, are those who are working behind the scenes. Given that Trump had such trouble reading the multiple of Auto-cues placed in front of him, I doubt Trump was even sending his own tweets; they were too well structured.
