An "opaque corporate misinformation network" - the Latter Day Republcians

From The Guardian:

"Yes, Donald Trump’s politics are incoherent. But those who surround him know just what they want, and his lack of clarity enhances their power. To understand what is coming, we need to understand who they are. I know all too well, because I have spent the past 15 years fighting them.

"Over this time, I have watched as tobacco, coal, oil, chemicals and biotech companies have poured billions of dollars into an international misinformation machine composed of thinktanks, bloggers and fake citizens’ groups. Its purpose is to portray the interests of billionaires as the interests of the common people, to wage war against trade unions and beat down attempts to regulate business and tax the very rich. Now the people who helped run this machine are shaping the government...."

Flim-flam Fascists (R)

...that phrase has the ring of authenticity to it, especially as we read about Republican plans to toss our seniors under their freaking solid-gold bus, and to buttbang the planet with tar sands and fracking up the wazoo

Will Comrade Casino (R) ask taxpayers to fund a solid gold toilet for the White House?

Why have none of the crack investigative reporters from Fox, CNN or MSNBC posed this vital question to Republican role model Donald Trump (aka Comrade Casino)?

After all, The Donald has a solid gold crapper in his New York penthouse. Surely he will need one for his elite Republican ass when he moves into the taxpayer-funded White House.

Undoubtedly, Trump has this weighty matter at the top of his priority considerations list right now. I think it's incumbent upon corporate media to dig in to this story, to find out, and to inform the American public.

Water has subtle properties beyond the claims of Big Pharma propaganda

In an effort to stomp out competition from natural remedies that Multinational Pharmaceutical companies feel would cut into their unchecked drug profiteering, many agents circulate narrow, outdated speculations about water and its subtle properties. Water has many properties that the limited perspective of Drug Companies has yet to acknowledge.

"Neutron scattering and computational modeling have revealed unique and unexpected behavior of water molecules under extreme confinement that is unmatched by any known gas, liquid or solid states.

"In a paper published in Physical Review Letters, researchers at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory describe a new tunneling state of water molecules confined in hexagonal ultra-small channels - 5 angstrom across - of the mineral beryl. An angstrom is 1/10-billionth of a meter, and individual atoms are typically about 1 angstrom in diameter...

"The discovery... demonstrates features of water under ultra confinement in rocks, soil and cell walls, which scientists predict will be of interest across many disciplines.

Prescription drugs kill over 100,000 people each year

But drug companies are making a freaking fortune. Therefore US trade agencies have decided to ignore that ugly reality, and instead wage war on non-toxic homeopathic medicines. According to sources, drug company trolls are expected to intensify their attacks on any and all natural health remedies that might compete with the massive profiteering of Multinational Drug Corporations.

‘‘The iciest place on the planet.’’ - Cardinal Dolan

"Trump and Clinton sat one seat apart for the evening, with New York’s Cardinal Timothy Dolan acting as the only buffer. And when they entered and took their seats, they did not greet each other or make eye contact, though they did shake hands at the conclusion of the roast.

Dolan later called his seat ‘‘the iciest place on the planet.’’
