5. Suppression of the media, that started way back with Project Mockingbird, has

been deemed a total success by the One Percent.

I consider myself somewhat of a political wonk. But even I didn't know that Bernie was given a 13 point lead over Clinton something like five days before the Primary here in California.

Thirteen points.

So what happens? The fact that so many progressives had to re-register as Democrats, and then they got ballots in the mail that were "Green" Party Ballots.

So they then end up with provisionals, unless they knew enough in's and out's of state voting rules to bring that "Green" Ballot in to be spoiled.

As of Friday, some 2.4 MILLION ballots in California had not been counted from the Tuesday Primary.

Yet Hillary was declared the Winner[h2][font color=red][Are you kidding me?!?!?!?!?![/h2][/font color=red]

A lawsuit filed late in the week made a real difference, as the judge ordered that the uncounted ballots be counted. But it was difficult to get people in to each county to help with this counting, as the media didn't mention any of this.

OH, and the major announcement by the media that Hillary was the presumptive candidate, that sure didn't help any either. So all these factors combined allowed the media to say that Hillary won by 13 points! If all this funny business had happened in a foreign nation, UN election observers would be flown in to set things straight.

This is officially a totalitarian state.

Period.
