  1. The same oligarchs that own the politicians own the media.

  2. Don't get suckered into making a big mistake; the plutocrats don't want any government businesses to exist. Trump installed Louis DeJoy in a bipartisan effort (he' still there under Biden) to privatize the US Postal Service; the same "Louis DeJoy" that used the US Postal Service to delay postal votes during the election with much publicity. If you look at Trump's masters (e.g. the Austrian-Libertarian Plutocrat - Charles Koch), they want the US Postal service privatized so they can break it up and then the corporate sector can extract more money from the citizenry with increased charges. That's why the Republican-led Congress passed a law in 2006 forcing US Postal Service to prepay its pensions for 75 years which no other corporation does; forcing it to start losing money. The Libertarian Plutocrats that own the corporate government need to create an environment where the people again willingly shoot themselves in the foot and ignorantly push for the privatization of the US Postal Service. The Boston Consulting Group has already completed the viability study and Amazon is just waiting to pick up the pieces. The US Postal Service is one of the few government agencies explicitly authorized by the United States Constitution and is going to be difficult for the Libertarian Plutocrats to dismantle. It wouldn't surprise me if this story was a plant in an attempt to give the US Postal Service further “bad publicity” to ease the people into willingly breaking up the US Postal Service.

  3. Saagar is Factually Wrong about the attacks on the US Postal Service not being a Conspiracy. If you use the database available at the Bernie Sanders’ website; you can search the original Libertarian platform used by David Koch in his run for VP in 1980. Just Google, "What Do the Koch Brothers Want?" and select the one page on Sanders' site. You will find a Wish List of the Kochs; yes the same Kochs who introduced "Citizens United" to screw the people out of their democracy, and these same Kochs introduced, "Right to Work" to defund and disable unions. In this Wish List you will find the typical Austrian-Libertarian (Neoliberal) policy targets like “We favor the abolition of Medicare and Medicaid programs.” and "“We favor the repeal of the fraudulent, virtually bankrupt, and increasingly oppressive Social Security system. Pending that repeal, participation in Social Security should be made voluntary.” And just a little down the page you will find, “We propose the abolition of the governmental Postal Service. The present system, in addition to being inefficient, encourages governmental surveillance of private correspondence. Pending abolition, we call for an end to the monopoly system and for allowing free competition in all aspects of postal service.” As you can see, the desire of those who fund the Republican Party (and sadly also the Democratic Party but that's another story) have had the US Postal Service in their crosshairs since at least 1980; and I suspect much earlier. These plutocrats ARE part of a conspiracy that want to see the abolition of the US Postal Service so they can take advantage of this lucrative privatization opportunity. After all, the books of any government entity forced (by legislation) to fund their employees ongoing benefits for 75 years must be impressive to anyone who wants to exploit the American people.

  4. As Libertarians (e.g. Ron Paul) always say, "If you don't have the money to pay for your medical needs, you have the 'Freedom' to die".

  5. Suckers!

  6. Very interesting and informative. I don't mean Trump attempting to buy short term approval; I mean the public fools falling for the scam. Given enough money, it makes you wonder what they will be bribed into doing next?

  7. Beware of Greeks bearing gifts.

  8. But Facebook doesn't stop at consumerism. Never forget Cambridge Analytica; when Facebook data was used by Mercer & Bannon to target American voters to manipulate the electoral process. When the service is free, just look in the mirror to find the commodity being traded. And once you have dismantled the Surveillance Economy of social media, maybe you should start dismantling the Corporate Surveillance State.

  9. Charles Koch may just as well become America’s landlord. Given his influence and control of US colleges and universities, he is already America’s economics professor; given he already owns Pence, Pompeo, Trump, Rubio and others, he already owned the government and probably still does; given his involvement in the Federalist Society, he is already the selector of federal judges; given his involvement in the American Legislative Executive Council, he has implemented "Citizens United" that has sold the electoral process to the highest bidder and devastated unions with "Right to Work" along the way. One could continue with the Charles Koch controlling 28 State capitals and how his patsy and Erik Prince’s sister Betsy DeVos was slowly privatizing education, but I believe you are beginning to understand the intent of one of the World's most serpentine and devious individuals. And I haven't even mentioned the Koch involvement in the persecution of Venezuela and other Latin American states. If you really want to see the influence of the Koch dynasty, just Google the global reach and influence of the Koch-Libertarian “Atlas Network”. And yes, the “Atlas” is from Ayn Rand’s book, “Atlas Shrugged”.

  10. Rahm Emanuel, “You never want a serious crisis to go to waste. And what I mean by that is an opportunity to do things that you think you could not do before.”

  11. Bernie hasn't a chance within the Democratic Establishment. The whole purpose of the Democratic Establishment is to ensure a real "Progressive" never has any political influence. I believe you would find a turd in a swimming pool would be welcomed more than Bernie in the Biden administration.

  12. The reason Biden was recruited by the oligarchs is because he is an inveterate liar. A very useful trait if you want to ameliorate the anger of the gullible. So, stop making excuses for Biden and deal with the treachery. Don't you understand the whole political system is just a bipartisan scam to screw the people?

  13. All I hear from the mainstream (including Rising) is prosecution by media. Maybe it's the media that should be sent to the gallows?

  14. Orson Welles's “War of the Worlds” has already shown UFOs are an excellent tool for creating fear in an already nervous population. And I wouldn't trust anything that comes out of any politician from any branch of government; especially someone like Harry Reid. One can only guess at the motivations of a corrupt government; maybe this scam is going to be used to justify spending more money on the "Space Force"? After all, there is no Soviet Union any more; and after the proven Saudi involvement in 911 and the US-Saudi funding of terrorists, the threat of terrorism has lost all legitimacy. So to justify further military expenditure they have to dig up a threat from somewhere or the stock prices for the Military Industrial Complex are going to tumble. Always remember the words of Carl Sagan, "Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence".

  15. It's sad David Sacks wasn't honest enough to acknowledge that not only were the Minsk agreements just a ploy to give NATO enough time to train and arm Ukraine, the "peace deal" put on the table by Russia was sabotaged by Boris Johnson, apparently under orders from Washington.
    2
  16. At least Biden is better than Trump at reading an Auto Cue. Withe Trump it was easy to see he was illiterate as he struggled to present the orders of his masters to an unsuspecting audience, but Biden almost makes you believe these are his own ideas and not those of his owners. By far the best puppet of the plutocrats was Obama; he made you feel he owned the words on his carefully prepared speeches. One day people may learn politicians of both allowed parties are nothing more than puppets owned by the oligarchs and recruited to manipulate gullible rubes into believing they live in a democracy.

  17. I wouldn't use the word "hopeless" as it gives the wrong description of the problem. Maybe consider replacing "hopeless" with either: bought, treacherous, traitorous, sellouts, etc. Anything except hopeless as hopeless infers incompetence while their intent is clearly to screw the people.

  18. Power is an excellent choice for USAID. She was the US oligarch infiltration unit into the United Nations, so she understands hegemony, treachery and leverage. Putting her in charge of one of the many CIA factions (e.g. National Endowment for Democracy) used to infiltrate and subvert other nations should be very beneficial to the interests of US oligarchs. Who knows; Powers may even play a crucial role in the further destabilization of Venezuela; she may be able to increase the death toll of US sanctions well past 100K. Powers and Nuland in Ukraine; and unbeatable team for Empire.

  19. When you're watching Biden read a speech, you're listening to the words of the oligarchs and the message the oligarchs wish to impart on the people. When you're watching Biden NOT read a speech and ad libbing, you're just listening to the ramblings of a disoriented Alzhemic fool attempting to survive for another day.

  20. Interesting the level of naivety of Saagar and Krystal when they don't even understand America's philosophy is to sell out to the highest bidder. If they would have read Major General Smedley Butler's "War is a Racket", they would understand the US military is just the muscle of Wall Street to oppress foreign nations, exploit their people, and steal their assets and resources. You don’t need the words of Elon Musk, “We’ll coup whoever we want; deal with it”, to understand the plutocrats’ intent. Most still don’t understand the US history taught in their schools is nothing more than a "Walt Disney" fairy-tale to support the "Shining City on the Hill" narrative while the US plutocrats rob and plunder other nations. The plutocrats used their Hollywood machine to sell us "Ozzie and Harriet" while they commit genocide in foreign lands for profit. No wonder those ignorant and deluded liberals with Trump derangement syndrome are hiding under their beds pretending events in history like Abu Ghraib, Iraqi WMDs, and Madeline Albright's slaughter of half a million Iraqi children are just myths; while they can satisfy themselves with the manipulative and folksy words of Obama, "We tortured some folks" and "We don't look backwards, we look forward”. One of these days when those compromised liberals grow a spine, they will wake in fright as they realize the slaughter and theft by US imperial plutocrats in their name is not a bad dream, but reality. No wonder they now run from the reality and create elaborate and complex lies to hide them from the truth.

  21. They are all criminals; it looks like one of them had a reason to remove Menendez.

  22. It's interesting watching the game of table-tennis as the Democrats and Republicans bounce the voters backwards and forwards across the table of "voting for the lesser evil". What next atrocity do you think the Democrats will enact to push the people to vote Republican? And then, what will Republicans do to push the people back to vote Democrat. All the time the poor voters never realize they're only a ball on a table-tennis table; too busy looking at the next racket that going to whack them to comprehend they are in a well choreographed game of distraction. So you can watch Trump say "Jail Hillary" and you can watch Pelosi say "Impeach Trump", but in your hearts of hearts you know it's all an elaborate game in a convoluted political wrestling arena. So come back next week, pay your money, and may have the opportunity to watch the champ get defeated. Now the carefully engineered spectre of Trump is disappearing, the Democrats feel it's time to increase the dislike the American people have of them. The question is how low can the Democrats go before the majority moves again to the promises of the next Republican candidate? Could it be Trump; you'll just have to come back next week, pay your money, and see who eventually they present for battle in the arena. The poor pathetic voters never realize it doesn't matter whether it's Democrat or Republican in the Oval Office; the plutocrats always win and the American people always lose. Come back next week and pay your money; you may be surprised.

  23. Do a little research - "Reason Magazine" is part of the "Reason Foundation", and the Koch oligarchs are one of its major donors. Remember, it was the Kochs' "Money is free speech" argument along with the Koch's "American Legislative Council" and the "Federalist Society" that gave you "Citizens United" which opened the way for corporations to buy governments. Now how did that work for you?

  24. You get sick of these corporate actors pretending to be for the interests of the majority; then screwing the people in covert bipartisan unity every chance they get. Why don't you tell us again about Trump's disgusting demeanor so a few more corporate liberals can feign having their sensibilities assaulted one more time before the election.

  25. Why would there be any introspection by the Democratic Party? They know exactly what they are doing; they are owned by Wall Street and FANG. Understand the actual purpose of the Democratic establishment isn't to compete with the GOP; it's purpose is to ensure a progressive movement never takes power.

  26. I don't understand; so Yang went on Joe Rogan and now the Democrats think Yang is a Republican. Don't they understand that Biden had Republicans in his campaign promoting him to an audience of "Democrats"; and Obama admitted he was a "Moderate Republican"? Even the lesser fool must realize that Democrats and Republicans are interchangeable. Just look at Ronald Reagan's transformation from a union representative to a Neoliberal Republican; Trumps conversion from a "Democrat" friendly to the Clintons to a hard Republican saying he was going to jail Hillary; and I'm not sure where Bloomberg is these days. As soon as you realize this is just one big bipartisan scam to support the plutocrats at the expense of everyone else, the world will make a lot more sense.

  27. Pumping in stimulants and forcing this poor Alzheimic fool to fill the perpetual role of puppet-president is nothing more than elder abuse.

  28. Your talking about the CIA's own Newspaper; you're a fool if you expect any credible political or foreign affairs journalism.

  29. I would be seriously looking at the reasons why half of Americans actually "trust" or are indifferent about trusting the media. Is there that many apathetic and /or gullible individuals in the population? This statistic should be concerning to all!

  30. It is the People that should be used to "Bad Faith" coming from the Corporate Democrats. You only have to look at Obama's "Hope & Change" for an example of "Bad Faith". The "Bad Faith" narrative from people like AOC is just another club to beat into submission those who protest too much. This is just the Democratic Establishment erecting political boundaries for those who may dare to ask questions; boundaries that any "responsible" leftist should avoid. And if you should ever cross that political boundary while in the corporate liberal corral, you can expect repercussions from your overlords.

  31. Even if Obama hadn't destroyed the Sixth Amendment, the liberal hive-mind makes due process impossible.

  32. Meritocracy is flawed when it exalts the corrupt in a corrupt system. I much prefer to think about the conflict in the words of Warren Buffett, “There’s class warfare, all right, but it’s my class, the rich class, that’s making war, and we’re winning.”

  33. So why the recent "Tic-Tac" photographs from the military along with scary stories of "sunken" objects? Why the recent statements by proven political liars on the possible existence of "aliens"? But also consider the US Empire is running out of excuses for such an expensive military budget to strip the wealth from the US taxpayer and transfer it to the “Military Industrial Complex” stock holders. The idea of Russia being a non-nuclear threat is ridiculous and China just wants to increase its market share as the world's manufacturer. Eventually all the current propaganda against the Empire's "enemies" will be shown to be BS, and a new and more abstract threat to bolster Military Industrial Complex stock prices will be necessary; a threat where it's impossible for someone to disprove the scam. If the elite can sell the rubes on an alien threat, this would allow them to justify an increase in the "Space Force" budget. But like "Russiagate", eventually someone will spoil the scam and ask for hard evidence. And then who's going to dress up like ET to continue the scam? Consider the effects of the just the Orson Wells radio broadcast of 1938 that sent the rubes running in fear; just imagine the “threat” Industrial Light and Magic and Hollywood could achieve. Hollywood (Operation Mockingbird) to the rescue once again!

  34. There are Libertarians who are grifters and covertly work for the oligarchs (e.g. Tom Woods, James M. Buchanan), and then there are actual Libertarians. Sometimes you have to carefully observe their actions over a considerable period of time before you can see the difference. All I can say is when you hear any of the words, "Freedom, Liberty, Prosperity", it should set off alarm bells. On hearing this alarm, you know a scam filled with copious amounts of propaganda and spin is on its way.

  35. The elite used to thrive on the absurdity of someone like Alex Jones and his entourage, floating down a river in a boat while hurling accusations through a bullhorn at the hotel hosting the Bilderberg Meeting. Unwittingly, Jones was doing their bidding by portraying his actions as a circus and those hurling accusations through a bullhorn as conspiracy clowns. Jones' stunts certainly gave grist to the mill that there was "Nothing to See Here". This clown show was repeated in many forms for many years and has done considerable damage, but now we have the sober and credible Max Blumenthal shining new light on this actual conspiracy by these global elite. Hopefully now the psyop of the "clown show" narrative, so convenient to the elite, will fail. Given the recent push to question the establishment at every level; given the fall in credibility of the mainstream media, maybe now many will think twice before pigeonholing Bilderberg as "Nothing to See Here" and begin to see this event for what it is – a meeting of the antidemocratic western fascist elite.

  36. And if you think bipartisanship 03:25 gives an argument for legitimacy, may I suggest you reflect of the words of George Carlin, “Bipartisan usually means that a larger-than-usual deception is being carried out.”

  37.  @ageresequituresse  : I'm very interested in actually finding some evidence - where might it be? I'd be very interested in finding some form of intelligent life in the universe before I die; the pickings around here are really slim. I'm not talking about subjective "credible" evidence seen by gullible rubes with a snoot full of nose candy; I'm talking about some hard unambiguous material evidence one could present in a courtroom. And don't direct me to an X-Files rerun - I know them all by heart.

  38.  @ageresequituresse  : Someone makes an extraordinary claim and all I'm doing is asking for material evidence. I'm not interested in hearsay especially from people I don't know. Social media is full of those who enjoy manipulating gullible rubes. So allow me to refute hearsay otherwise I'd still be believing in "Iraqi Weapons of Mass Destruction" or "Gulf of Tonkin" or "Yellowcake from Niger" or "Iraqi Soldiers throwing Babies out of Incubators" or "Gaddafi giving his troops Viagra" to rape or Biden's academic & voting history or Trump's "Drain the Swamp" or - or - or . Read Howard Zinn's factual "People's History of the United States"; don't automatically believe what someone from the government tells you and especially don't believe selective "pentagon declassifications". In your opinion, if it makes me a "bit obtuse and de-facto" not believing something without material evidence; I'm comfortable with that! Can you see the problem with "A few of my most trusted" - at least I would be less likely to hang an innocent man.

  39.  @ageresequituresse  : I'm not quite sure what happened to your last comment: Lewis Robards replied: "Animal Farm Thanks for proving my point. And when the sixth man on the moon is some "crazy" in your opinion, your opinion doesn't mean much." But may I add be very careful making heroes out of anyone. Not only is it a sign of personal weakness and gullibility to look to public figures for strength and credibility, but these "heroes" will always tend to disappoint. This is the way one gets captured in a Hollywood fan (fanatic) delusion of reality.

  40. But you don't understand the elites' definition of the word "democracy". Think of "democracy" as the "money is free speech" argument in Charles Koch's "Citizens' United". "Democracy", just like "free speech", is out of reach for those who don't have the Benjamins to buy either. "Democracy", just like "free speech", is only for those who can afford to pay.
    1
  41. So the majority want to tax the rich? What do you think this is; a democracy? It's the wealthy that own both the Democrats and Republicans. Remember "Citizen's United" that equates money to free speech; you have no money; you can't afford to buy influence. But you can sit back and watch the Republicans push back against the idea of taxing the sociopaths. And you can watch the Democrats give a superlative performance as they wring their hands in gesture while they go along with the Republicans. You can watch the antics of the Democratic establishment and their well remunerated actors give a performance that should be nominated for an Academy Award. When are the rubes going to wake up to this bipartisan scam? You have listened to the arguments of Biden over Trump before the election; and now Biden is in office, what has changed? Trump's border is still being built, no $15 minimum wage, and so much more remains the same, but with a treacherous smile from the Democrats hoping no one would ask any difficult questions. My guess is the stimulus will go to the administration and consulting fees of certain "preferred" consultants, and very little infrastructure will be built. As for the population who can't afford heat[healthcare, I will quote Ron Paul, "If you don't have the money to pay for healthcare, you have the freedom to die".

  42. It's as if FOX's marketing department aren't allowed to present their actual data on FOX's decision about Carlson. I wonder if the Fox Corporation's shareholders know that their corporation is being used for propaganda and not to maximize shareholder value?

  43. Why can't Rice advise on Foreign Policy from a domestic role? Old Obama picks for the Biden administration appears logical to me. Always remember, it was Citigroup that picked the Wall Street minions for Obama's administration. So, by default, hasn't Citigroup just picked the Wall Street minions for the Biden administration.

  44. Apart from military hardware and war, the US exports very little. So why would companies that service the domestic market invest in a nation where the economy is designed to increase the wealth of a minority, while the majority of people are growing ever poorer? Unless you're manufacturing yachts or high-end sports cars, I don't see the point of investing in CAPEX. For the corporations stuck in that devastating position of borrowing to pay dividends while buying back their own shares to maintain stock price, there is only one road to follow; and when taxpayer bailout funds are eventually depleted, that road eventually goes over a cliff.

  45. It's refreshing to see that Washington has grown some cajones and the Democrats are now overtly screwing the people without any of the usual BS sugar coating. The question I have is will the people grow some cajones and respond in kind?

  46. I expect it of Ryan Grim because that's his job description; but why does Saagar continue to manipulate the rubes. Does Saagar have such little respect for those poor liberal rubes hiding under their beds still inflicted with Trump Derangement Syndrome? I think so!

  47. If you are going to do a story on government agencies surveying social media, don't just stop at the US Postal Service; there are a multiple of other agencies (e.g. FBI, CIA, NSA - Utah Data Center) spending huge sums of money doing the same thing. The computers at the Saratoga Springs, Utah require so much cooling water to operate that it compromises the city's water supply. And what about the "private" social media and affiliates (e.g. Facebook, Google) that sell their information to other companies (Cambridge Analytica) to sway elections.

  48. Your inference that Democracy is faltering is wrong. Democracy has always been a scam right back to the Founding Fathers; it was originally designed by early oligarchs to give the illusion of freedom but capital has maintained its hold on government ever since. It’s just that with all the accelerating corruption and oppression, more and more people are waking to the scam.

  49. The quicker Biden moves; the quicker he will be exposed as a fraud.

  50. Andrew Yang is wrong! Those in the Democratic Party have already worked out where they stand; they stand for the elite and against the people and any progressive movement. And as many have said within the elite about the working class, "They have nowhere else to go".
