Do you really think that's such a great idea? Some of the smarter students would read where Butler said, "I helped make Mexico, especially Tampico, safe for American oil interests in 1914. I helped make Haiti and Cuba a decent place for the National City Bank boys to collect revenues in. I helped in the raping of half a dozen Central American republics for the benefits of Wall Street. The record of racketeering is long. I helped purify Nicaragua for the international banking house of Brown Brothers in 1909-1912. I brought light to the Dominican Republic for American sugar interests in 1916. In China I helped to see to it that Standard Oil went its way unmolested." And then these students would look around the world and still see the US Military still being used as muscle to support the interests of the Fascist Corporations of the US Empire.

@auntiebobbolink : After removing the draft, the government then utilizes the corrupt media, sport, poverty and desperation to bribe the poor, the asylum seekers, and the oppressed into their imperial military. You can see military recruiters daily in southern states hovering like vultures around shopping malls looking intently for a sign of weakness.

@auntiebobbolink : So what to do about it? - Find a way out of the two-party duopoly that has destroyed any semblance of actual democracy. Media outlets like MSNBC (and Hartmann) will always attempt to induce fear and push you towards the Democratic Part just as FOX and their cronies will also attempt to induce fear and push you towards the Republican Party. This is just a game of Good-Cop/Bad-Cop to keep you off balance and to continue swinging the political pendulum to maintain Wall Street's monopolistic control. Have you noticed whether it’s Bush or Obama or Trump or Biden, little has actually ever changed? Your real enemy is the plutocrats, their corporations, and their financial sector control. What you see on television is just politicians from both parties in a choreographed stage show to give the impression of an adversarial relationship, but it’s only a Hollywood production to create the illusion of choice and democracy. So what to do about it? - The last time this happened was in the late 1920 and early 30s, but there is no longer a Communist Party, a Socialist Party, or Union movements that can threaten the hegemony of today's plutocrats. And the plutocrats and their domestic henchmen (FBI) have made short work of any corporate resistance since those early days. Since the 1933 New Deal, the plutocrats, their federal henchmen, and their political minions in both parties and in all branches of government have implemented a campaign to turn words like “Union”, “Socialist” and "Collective" into pejoratives. And thanks to Hollywood and other media propaganda, they have done an excellent job. That treachery must be undone and resurrecting Collectives and Unions will take some time. In the meantime, try to create your own small movement and stop playing that perpetual game of political Good-Cop/Bad-Cop. Avoid those (like MSNBC, CNN, FOX or Hartmann) whose job it is to keep you in fear of the “Russians”, or the “Chinese”, or “Trump”, or “Biden”; avoid those who use remnants of the McCarthy era strategies like "Reds under the bed" or "Duck and Cover" to do so. Once you understand it's just one big psyop, you will be liberated. This is just a strategy to induce fear exactly the same as was used by the plutocrats and their federal minions (FBI) in the 1950s & 60s to redirect your attention from what is important. So don't be one of those who Gore Vidal was thinking about when he coined the phrase "The United States of Amnesia". So what to do about it? - Don't fund or vote for either party and look for a real alternative; possibly a party whose policies more closely represent your needs. You may consider voting for a "third party" as being a waste of time, but if enough follow this will eventually work. How many times can you be fooled into believing the perpetual lies of the oscillating establishment candidates (Clinton (D), Bush (R), Obama (D), Trump (R), and now Biden (D)) as they scam you into perpetuating the status quo? It will take some time to reach critical mass, but spread the message and educate as many as possible. If there is one thing the plutocrats and their controlled media (including Hartmann) fear is the possibility of both progressives and conservatives coming together against the corruption. Think about how well the plutocrats’ Divide-and-Conquer strategies have worked since Eisenhower was president. Always remember, the job of these traitors is to ensure they maintain control by manipulating your thoughts using techniques like stimulating primordial tribal emotions, and then setting you at each other's throats.

@julieannmyers8714 : And it's not just imperial military aggression for profit and hegemony that should be considered disgusting. What really turned my stomach was watching the liberal Madeline Albright on 60Minuutes justifying the deaths of half a million Iraqi children by sanctions; when the psychopath just said, “It was worth it”. The plutocrats and their corporate government were hoping the sanctions and resulting deaths would turn the people against Saddam, but it didn’t happen. This psychopath Albright never gave an actually reason for the intentional deaths of so many by disease and starvation, but this Clinton atrocity is so egregious there can be no actual justification. Clinton’s fascists attempting to justify this atrocity would be like Nazi fascists attempting to justify the Holocaust. Very little of the corporate media covered this atrocity and the 60Minutes interviewer could hardly believe what she was hearing. Because of how the innocents suffered such horrible and protracted deaths, this is something comparable to Hitler's Holocaust; but there will be no justice. And to add insult to injury, these Clinton psychopaths are now attempting to rewrite this part of history.

@davegreene8588 "While not all are principled, as a group, they're certainly superior to the vile repugglicans who struggle daily to destroy America" LMAO - still pushing the scam of "Lesser of Two Evils". The problem with selecting between two evils, is you are selecting "Evil". And who is the most evil; those who are openly corporate sleaze like the GOP, or those slime who pretend to work for the man on the street; pretend to back the progressive policies and promise what they had no intention to deliver prior to the election, and then screw the average person even worse than the Republicans. I prefer to have a corporate owned enemy that looks me straight in the eyes in a fight; not some scum that pretends not to be owned by corporations, pretends to support the interests of the majority, and then puts their arm on your shoulder while stabbing you in the back. As a real Progressive, I would have to admit many Republicans are more forthright and honest than Democrats. Democrats are just the treacherous sleaze hired by corporate interests to screw the gullible.

Jan 6 was "Wall Street Putsch" part 2 : I agree; there is a level of sophistication behind the January 6th scam and it's not just a few disheveled rubes taking out their frustrations. In my opinion, you may find some answers to those behind this scam in Duke University's Professor of History and Public Policy - Nancy MacLean's book, "Democracy in Chains". And if you're interested in the post New Deal scam by the oligarchs to screw the people, have you read Princeton history professor Kevin M. Kruze's book, "One Nation Under God; How Corporate America Invented Christian America"? It goes into considerable detail around the era of the National Association of Manufacturers and the American Liberty League; the precursor of the contemporary Libertarian movement. And I must say, you're understanding of actual US history together with your unbiased analysis is very impressive. If Hartmann was serious about conveying historical facts, he could certainly take a history lesson from you. And as you would have noticed, any exposure of Hartmann's treachery is rapidly removed from the comments.

But sadly, Hartmann isn't telling you the whole truth. . The 1933 against the Roosevelt administration didn't intend to kill Roosevelt, it was intended to sideline Roosevelt into a puppet ceremonial role (much like there is now in the White House), and have an army of 500,000 selective troops run the administration (If you replace the word "troops" with "Wall Street and Military Industrial Complex executives"; that's fundamentally how the government is run now). And Hartmann was wrong about Roosevelt's intent; Roosevelt was a tool of Wall Street, and just like Obama, Roosevelt was a proficient thespian. Roosevelt betrayed the people when he failed to prosecute the plutocrats that instigated the coup, but he could have done little else as many of those same plutocrats owned Roosevelt. I liken Roosevelt's betrayal of the people and democracy to that of Obama when he said, "Look forward, not back"; when Obama intentionally failed to prosecute the torturers and war criminals of the Bush administration. So always remember – “It’s a Big Club, and you ain’t in it”.

Jan 6 was "Wall Street Putsch" part 2 : Unlike January the 6th, the 1933 coup against Roosevelt was real; it wasn't just a couple of FBI informers recruited by the FBI to convince a pack of discontented and manipulated rag-tag rubes from southern states to break in to a government building. Everyone knew these petulant discontents were converging on the Capitol and no actions were carried out to stop them - WHY? Even on the day, the Capitol police acted impotent and only one "insurrectionist" was injured (shot) and sadly died? I wonder why no actions were ever attempted to secure the Capitol building? Maybe a temporary security fence may have helped? But those gullible coerced and delusional rubes were allowed to just storm the building? I wonder why? Like the now defunct "Russiagate", January the 6th was designed to distract the people from the treachery around them. That's why it was played up so much by the media. Like Russiagate was designed to stop people asking questions about the Podesta emails and the Democratic establishment's treachery against Bernie, January the 6th was also designed to distract from the fact the Democratic establishment was screwing Bernie yet again. But conveniently no one remembers the Clinton Democratic Party application (the app) used to screw Bernie in the Iowa primaries; no one remembers how the establishment "convinced" all the contenders to drop out so that Biden could crush Bernie with the help of the media. If you ask me, January the 6th was more successful than Russiagate at covering up the treachery of the Democratic establishment against Bernie. Notice how the 1933 coup is never mentioned in history books or the media. Unlike January the 6th, notice how it was carefully designed to seamlessly merge the 500,000 strong military traitors with government functions and slowly subvert the Roosevelt administration undetected until it was too late. This is a long way from the highly publicized rag-tag team of confused Trump supporters scammed into breaking a few windows. But in the 1933 coup it was intended Roosevelt would stay on as a puppet; similar to the role Biden, Trump, or Obama held during their tenure. As for Hartmann's pathetic excuse (because he didn't want to give them publicity) for Roosevelt's inaction; understand that Hartmann is there to sell you on false hope of the Democratic establishment. Hartmann will never intentionally expose the historical treachery of the Democratic establishment; hence the pathetic attempt to cover up Roosevelt's treachery. Hartmann will never admit the Democratic Party is owned and controlled by Wall Street; and Hartmann willingly sells you on the idea that Manchin is the exception and not the rule. And when it comes time to again vote in the next federal election, Hartmann will be pulling out all stops to ensure you vote for the Democratic establishment and maintain Wall Street's status quo. You should be under no illusions about Hartmann; if an anti Wall Street real progressive was ever successful in a primary bid, Hartmann would be pushing you to vote Republican to maintain the status quo. You may wonder why you never see Chris Hedges on this program and now I hope you understand why; even the moderate Thomas Frank appears unwilling to appear after people have absorbed the truths of "Listen Liberal".

At last, Hartmann gives a somewhat accurate account of history. The only parts where Hartmann got it wrong was the 1933 against the Roosevelt administration didn't intend to kill Roosevelt, it was intended to sideline Roosevelt into a puppet ceremonial role (much like there is now in the White House), and have an army of 500,000 selective troops run the administration (If you replace the word "troops" with "Wall Street and Military Industrial Complex executives"; that's fundamentally how the government is run now). And Hartmann was wrong about Roosevelt's intent; Roosevelt was a tool of Wall Street, and just like Obama, Roosevelt was a proficient thespian. Roosevelt betrayed the people when he failed to prosecute the plutocrats that instigated the coup, but he could have done little else as many of those plutocrats owned Roosevelt. I liken Roosevelt's betrayal of the people and democracy to that of Obama when he said, "Look forward, not back"; when Obama intentionally failed to prosecute the torturers and war criminals of the Bush administration. So always remember – “It’s a Big Club, and you ain’t in it”.
