This is the heart of it, right here in this OP. Amazing how many people on this site seem to not care about such things. I think a lot more people in the general electorate would very much care about it, if they knew.

Getting the word out on who is behind what is our challenge. The MSM and the two billion dollars backing Hillary's campaign will do everything in their power to prevent people learning the true nature of what forcces are behind both the GOP and the corporate side of the Democratic Party. It's up to us to counter that to the best of our abilities.

Thanks for this OP! Never give up, it will be a long and seemingly hopeless task, but seeds are sown by trying.
