And, predictably, the smear/propaganda machine is on the job.

Let's remain explicit about what we are really dealing with here:
None of this is behavior that anyone should have to associate with the United States of America. These are the tactics of totalitarian states. |

and 2) the administration's unconscionable adoption of "double-tapping," an Orwellian euphemism for the practice of attacking the same site again after a short pause, such as when first responders have appeared on the scene.

Complicit, not clueless.
We misunderstand politics and our politicians in 2014 when we assume their goal is always to win. That was the old system, democracy.
In oligarchy, the goal is using the two parties you own in whichever way best furthers the corporate agenda of the oligarchy. These are not hapless Democrats with bad strategy in a functioning representative democracy. This is oligarchy pretending to be democracy. Corporate Democrats did everything possible to depress turnout in the midterms, from their utter lack of a positive agenda, to the outright campaign to demoralize and insult the base online, to the "Accept Doom" DCCC email campaign: DCCC email campaign: "Accept defeat"
http://www.democraticunderground.com/10025736826 I believe the PTB have decided it's time for a Republican figurehead next time, and corporatists and propagandists in both parties are working to ensure that it happens. The illusion of democracy is nearly dead, and will continue to die as all the elements of fascism continue to be put into place by our bipartisan, purchased cabal of a government. But putting a Republican in next time will at least offer a boost to the propaganda machine. Six additional years of relentless, proactive expansion of predatory corporatism, warmongering, and the police/surveillance state under a Democratic administration has woken too many people up to the truth: that corporate money floods BOTH sides of the aisle, and the parties are working in collusion for Wall Street. That is dangerous for the oligarchy. By installing a Republican next time, the Third Way corporate shills and mouthpieces online will be able to put on their liberal costumes again and pretend to wail alongside the rest of us as the last vestiges of the democratic nation we once knew are drowned in the toilet, this time by Republicans. Of course, all that "opposition" will be carefully and mysteriously futile in terms of policy. But the important thing is that Dems will be consistently SAYING the right things again, and looking like the firebrand populist party we need them to be. And the people will be reassured that we really do still have a democracy, we can stop all this silly talk about oligarchy and needing fundamental change and such, and we can all go home and watch "Hunger Games" and grouse because our only problem will be that Republicans are in office for a little while and we need to get them out and the Third Way Democrats back in.

Two more countries left on the PNAC list: Syria and Iran.
It's not a mistake. It's been planned for a very long time. They already tried once over a year ago to justify doing it. Of course Syria has been the goal all along. Syria: The next step in the PNAC playbook, remember? Refresher Course in PNAC: This was planned a long time ago.

You will know the corporate Third Way by their refusal to demand real change here.
We need an end to the militarization of our police, which is federally driven. We need real accountability, including national databases of police violence and relentless DOJ attention to police abuses.
Yet when the CRITICAL role of purchased, corporate politicians in the creation of this police state America is becoming is mentioned, the Third Way circles the wagons and refuses to demand accountability from our politicians. No, we are to cheer pretty speeches instead, even though they come with no intent for real change. The militarization continues. Exactly what we have come to expect from our corporate government when it comes to outrages like this. We get cynical, pretty speeches and cheering propaganda voices, and nothing more. Nothing gets better anymore. No one is ever serious about actual change for the better. In fact, the corporate politicians making pretty speeches are relentlessly making things worse: ____________________________________________________________________________ The entire Democratic leadership opposed Grayson amendment to stop arming cops with DOD weapons
http://www.democraticunderground.com/10025390424 Police Militarization (including the Obama administration's role)
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/03/06/aclu-police-militarization-swat_n_2813334.html It's almost certain that if the police agencies cooperate, the ACLU will find that the militarization trend has accelerated since Kraska's studies more than a decade ago. All of the policies, incentives and funding mechanisms that were driving the trend then are still in effect now. And most of them have grown in size and scope. It's united oligarchy, not divided democracy. And it's united oligarchy with a relentless propaganda machine to try to obscure the truth. |
, its director announced in October 2011 that his office had given away a record $500 million in military gear in fiscal year 2011, which he noted, "passes the previous mark by several hundred million dollars." He added, "I believe we can exceed that in FY 12.”

No, she's absolutely not nothing.
She is much, much worse. Her policies are a menace not only to the well-being of millions, but to democracy itself. She represents the continuation and expansion of the very worst of Bush's antidemocratic, even fascistic policies of financial exploitation, warmongering, mass surveillance, and suppression of dissent, as well as entire new horizons of malignant and predatory corporate power under the TPP and the TISA.
The first priority of all Democrats should be to make sure that the Third Way does not shove another corporatist and warmonger down our throat as the Democratic nominee for 2016... ...because if they can do that, they will have ensured that the corporate agenda continues no matter who wins.
