I'd be hacking too even though I'm not Russian!

Why would I hack (if I could!): Because political 'games' affect all of us and we know for sure that we DO NOT get full & factual information from the main stream media or from government SPOX.

Why would a foreign entity "hack"?: Same reason ... they would want to know the who, what, why and when, as much as they could, to prepare for the consequences of who will be guiding policy of a nation that may affect them. That's been going on for decades ... nothing new there.

The argument is screwed ... sorry ... meant "skewed": The point of contention here, when you listen to the arguments, is NOT that Russia was able to access servers ... it's about WHAT they revealed, if in fact Russia had anything to do with it at all!

There has been NO denial of the truth in the email exposures ...just angst about the METHOD ... and the method is being attacked, not the truth. Same "legal technicality"  bullshit that allows criminals to go free!

WikiLeaks has put out all the data, not the Russians: Without a shred of proof MSM taking heads espouse that WikiLeaks released data fed to them by Russian parties. WikiLeaks has denied this, and with WikiLeaks error-free track record over a decade I'd say their track record deserves far more credibility than talking heads, government "officials", anonymous sources or a president who have been caught out lying countless times.

Just like you and me: The Russians, or any other entity, want to know what they/we are up against or going to be helped by where political choices are concerned. That's called "being responsible" ... for yourself and your family, or for a nation you lead.

Hillary Clinton and the DNC lost the election: NOT because anyone tipped it by subversive means. They lost it because they do not have the trust of the electorate and with Obama's 'track record' mainstream Americans were scared shitless to trust another Democrat administration.

The "alternate media" is now the enemy, and being attacked in the so-called mainstream media: No surprise there ... liars hate being caught out and exposed. And a cooked, booked and hooked propaganda industry isn't about to give up their prestige and those awesome corporate adverting dollars just for the truth. (good reason to end corporate "person-hood" soon as possible.)

Laughable Hypocrisy — Mexico is upset about losing Ford plant & jobs — Blames Trump

Caution: This commentary will require an IQ of 100 at minimum. If you fall below that threshold you are advised to close your browser window now and return to Facebook or cartoons to maintain your comfort zone.

Moving on now with the 100+ crowd ...

Here is a quote from the AP article today (link below)

"Trump leaves Mexico without 3,600 jobs," read the headline on El Universal. "Ford's braking jolts the peso," said Reforma, referring to the Mexican currency's nearly 1 percent slump following the news.

I really can't remember when Mexico ever objected to Americans losing jobs when plants moved there!

Sort of hypocritical, huh! ... Blaming Trump because Mexico has an externally-dependent and dysfunctional economy! Ohhh ... that sure stacks up on common sense & logic!

And!! If 3,600 jobs can affect the peso by 1% ... what the hell kind of economy does Mexico have? Not one that isn't dependent on outside help ... and Mexico, on top of it, is one of the richest nations on earth with all their natural resources!

Maybe ... just a thought here ... if Mexico ORIGINATED anything worth manufacturing (other than great tequila and a prolific drug trade, mind you) they would not have to rely on foreign businesses to create jobs for their people ... and the peso wouldn't slump 1% because ONE factory changes it's plans!

I know ... it's a "weird concept" ... but I'm sticking with it!

I am also laughing my shiny ass off because the hypocrisy is so evident ... but also worried as hell too because so many Americans (Members of A.N.U.S. — Americans Not Understanding Sovereignty) actually support this shit!

Of course, it must be said that those pathetic people in A.N.U.S. take their 'marching orders' from SPHinCTER (Soros' Political Hegemony in Contradiction To Everything Republican) and blindly blather on while they protest, burn cars, loot local businesses and harm people physically to express their frustrations.

(Therefore the A.N.U.S. retentive people are SPHinCTER dependent which creates P.I.L.E.S. ... Problematic Idiocy Leading to Economic Suffering) ... just so you know.

Apparently the notion of "America First" is offensive to those who insist "Mexico First", and those A.N.U.S. members might want to move to Mexico to lend their expertise to the Mexican government about getting their own economy functioning, on-track and viable.

2017 — The Year to Stop the Insanity

Happy New Year one and all ... if only there was some guarantee of that being true.

2016 has ended with a lot of Hope ... because there has been such Change in the awareness of average people across the globe ... people (not persons) have, en mas, awoken to how badly they have been screwed over by the political and financial classes, and those who have bought and paid for them for far too long.

2016 has ended, specifically since early November, as an expose of the vile power politics and corruption that have undermined the lives of the middle class particularly, and the country generally.

2017 starts tomorrow ... what do we have to look forward to?

Not World War III ... Putin isn't rising to the inflammatory bait from a petulant Obama ... he's 'biting the bullet' till Trump is inaugurated on the 20th when artificially created tensions can be put aside for everyone's sake.

A path back to prosperity ... for individual working people, as well as the companies that create the jobs for them.

>> Trump is delivering on election promises before being sworn in ... already bringing jobs back and setting the table for renegotiation of destructive agreements that have robbed us all. Plus tax policies that make America a good place to set up shop again.

Common sense ... instead of political correctness and all the confusion it creates because people (not persons) will be able to communicate effectively between themselves again.

Hope (the real kind) ... that is already happening because people (not persons) sense that the tide has changed for the better ... that there is a new Captain coming aboard who actually knows how to navigate difficult waters, and who actually cares about the safety and welfare (well-being) of those who have elected to trust his hand on the ship's wheel through the storms and waves ahead.

Change (the real kind) ... the 'old guard' who have undermined and diminished the country are being identified and side-lined to where they can do no further damage. Obama's actions of late demonstrate how desperate they are to prevent that change ... even risking and provoking war with Russia to do so. Fortunately Putin sees their game plan and isn't playing along.

A Reset (not a cheesy dollar store novelty button) ... people (not persons) across our globe are fed up with the messes created by the political and financial elites and are speaking up, putting their foot(s) down and saying, in unison, "Enough of this crap!"

The ants have finally figured out the shit the grasshoppers have burdened them with ... 2017 holds enormous promise ... stay the course.

Obama claims 3rd Presidential run victory ... but only against Hillary

Obama Says He Would Have Defeated Trump for a Third Term ... in an interview with David Axelrod, who we all know is an impartial and objective journalist!

Sorry, Barry ... your hubris does not match with facts.

Against Hillary you would have won hands down ... she has no worthy track record and an over-sized ego. You, on the other hand have no worthy track record and an over-sized ego. So you would have won just because you're there already ... not because you're competent or great in any way.

Hillary lost on the basis of her own dis-merits combined with your 'track record' of making America weaker in every important aspect.

Hope & Change? Who's hope and what change were you actually referring to?

Could you have won against Donald Trump?

Not likely ... outside of highly dense populated areas (i.e. New York and California where the bulk of your welfare-dependent supporters dwell) Donald Trump won the majority of counties across America, which represent a broad spectrum of Americans, their lives and their means of sustenance ... they voted en masse for him which is far more representative than inner-city enclaves of government-dependent voters ... not to mention that those inner city areas are also the areas most vulnerable to vote fraud via machines, illegal immigrants (who you support so much) and tampering.

Could you have won against Trump? Yes you say?? Ok ... now you're the "dreamer". Let's look at a few FACTS, even though you find facts unpleasant, annoying and uncomfortable.

Trump talks to people, unscripted and from the heart ... you talk at people via a teleprompter, reading words written by someone else.

Trump is his own, accomplished, man with undeniable credentials in the press and as an expert witness before congress over decades ... you are a nobody with no substantial accomplishments and you had to seal your records to make sure nobody could vet your claims to 'greatness' & merits.

Trump, following the foregoing, has done more in the month and a half since the election to straighten out America's many tense situations than you were able to do in eight years with your famous pen and phone. No surprise there since Trump's track record is based on being in the office WORKING ... as opposed your plan of being on a golf course and excusing yourself for NOT working.

Trump's reputation (something you do not possess outside of a phony Peace Prize) has caused international business and political leaders to come to the table to renegotiate on Trump's  terms for the betterment of America ... as opposed to you, giving the store away from a golf course with your pen and phone, as you put it.

Trump, pre-inauguration, has brought jobs and companies back to America ... apparently he does have a "magic wand" as you mentioned ... or, perhaps, he supports America in a manner you apparently don't or cannot fathom.

Trump is, pre-inauguration, the President of America in the eyes of the world ... because you have been so inept, transparently shallow (yup ... there's that transparency you mentioned) and completely dishonest that the world is laughing at you.

Here is your legacy Barry Barack Husein Marshall Obama Soetero Harrison Davis (or whatever the hell your actual name is) ... there will be more people saying "good riddance" than will be saying "good bye" come the 20th of January, 2017.

Drudge || Silicon Sultans Full-On Donald Assault...

Specter of Trump Loosens Tongues, if Not Purse Strings, in Silicon Valley

By DAVID STREITFELD OCT. 16, 2016

PALO ALTO, Calif. — After years of scorning the political process, Silicon Valley has leapt into the fray. The prospect of a President Donald J. Trump is pushing the tech community to move beyond its traditional role as donors and to embrace a new existence as agitators and activists. ... Read the full article here.

The man in the shiny can says:

 

Where is the surprise in this?

But ... Why would entrepreneurs not support another successful entrepreneur? ... as opposed to a career politician.

Well, there's a maxim that says "follow the money" ... usually the root of all evil.

The 'entrepreneurial presidential candidate' wants to bring manufacturing back to the country from overseas and wants companies to employ Americans. Sounds good to all those voters who show up at rallies in the tens of thousands wondering where their futures went!

But apparently it doesn't sound so good to the entrepreneurs in Silicon valley ... there must be a reason why!

Oh ya, I got it!!! ... it would be expensive to do what benefits the country ... so why do it?

 

After all, CORPORATIONS, by charter, are required to maximize shareholder profits ... regardless of collateral damage to the community, environment, country and so on. 

If you doubt that from within your little media-fed bubble; Watch the award-winning documentary, The Corporation ... and if you can't figure it out after watching that, exit this blog immediately, flip on the TV and tune in to the latest episode of 'Dancing With The Narcissists'.

Here are a few starter points to get you thinking:

1. Hiring Americans is far more expensive than hiring 'guest workers' from elsewhere ... the ones American workers are oddly being instructed to train to be their replacements.
2. They would have to move manufacturing back to America and pay American wages ... rather than the 'slave' labor wages paid overseas.
3. The Democrat candidate for president, regardless of what is said on the stump (public versus private persona) would ensure the current comfy and profitable 'status quo' ... regardless of what actually benefits those whose votes are being begged for.
4. The Republican candidate wants to put Americans first and the corporations second ... the reverse of the comfy 'status quo'.
5. Rhetorical Question: If Americans don't have good paying jobs and disposable 'income'; who will be able to afford to buy the cheaply produced crap from overseas? Anyone enjoying their Samsung Note lately for instance??

So convince me. Do you think for a moment that those CEOs are more concerned about America or about profits?

Don't try to tell me, or the millions of unemployed that these CEOs are backing a Clinton presidency for the good of the country ... they are backing her for their bottom lines and, of course, the donations and paid speeches to the Clinton Foundation are all tax deductible "bonuses" in the process!

Imagine that! Getting a tax deduction for ruining your own country! They should be ashamed of themselves!
