(7,018 posts)I had never even thought about the point that the Clintons had taken active part in
helping the news media to come under corporate control, but now that you mention
it, yes, this does look like it's part and parcel of the same thing.
I am reminded of the campaign speeches of 2012, and the great part Clinton had played
in helping Obama win the election. Has all of this been pre-planned? Is all of this nothing
more than a game? Nothing more than keeping up the appearance of having a two-party
system? Nothing more than a sham?
The Clintons are from middle-class backgrounds. Have they given up and gone over to
the buttered side of the bread? George Soros also came from a middle-class background
and worked hard to become a multi-billionaire. He is still on the side of the underdog.
Often have I heard the claim that whether Republican or Democrat, they are both under
the control of Corporate America. I have always been reluctant about believing this, I
still am. I don't want to believe that our government has already been taken over by
sociopathic shysters, and that they are and have already been our rulers for some time.
I agree that these people do have enormous power and are making giant strides in
getting more, but they don't have control of the whole country yet. I 'd like to think that
we still have a chance of putting up resistance, and gaining back some of the ground
we've lost.
And what about Occupy Wall Street? They do remind me that we still have the numbers.
I also know that people with anti-social personalities make up 2 to 4% of the population.
96% are not sociopaths. We have the numbers, and we are not living in the Dark Age of
the 1500s. This is the 21st Century!
