Animal Rights: New Angle of Attack On Bernie Sanders

Presidential Candidate Bernie Sanders had to be shielded twice by the U.S. Secret Service while in California ahead of the June 7 Primary, The first attack was in Oakland, then in Modesto by what appeared to be animal rights activists.

YouTube comments suggested the attackers were hired by a Super PAC created by David Brock. After a few searches I found the following:

• Wall Street Shill: "Animal Rights" Group Harassing Sanders linked To Obama Admin, Accused Of Abusing Members.
• Direct Action Everywhere protesters attempt rushing Sanders on stage: Clinton smear attempt?
• ... Nothing else

So far I found nothing that directly links the animal rights group to David Brock, the DNC or any political organization. The last paragraph of the Wall Street Shill article confesses the link is entirely speculation.

The group Direct Action Everywhere, an animal rights group claimed responsibility for both attacks. More pics available at Daily Mail.

Now are you finally getting the idea that the elite work both Republicans and Democrats?

Trump, Sanders, Politics And Proxy Class Warfare

I was confused. I thought Donald Trump was part of the Establishment. He's got money, you would think he should fit right in, but listening to him speak about "the establishment" and "special interests" reminds me that there are sub-cultures within the top 1%.

Donald's father, Fred Trump made his fortune mostly in developing affordable housing for the working class, However, in the upper crust, there are certain criteria for amassing wealth that must be met to earn respect and entrance into exclusive realms of the Old Money class.

I can't imagine what it must have been like to be wealthy enough to get within sight of New York royalty at cocktail parties or business meetings, only to be snubbed, whispered about, or openly mocked.

I know too well the sting of rejection, the denial of affinity and validation from admired people and organizations, and the gleeful leer of schadenfreude from people once thought friendly acquaintances.

Bernie Sanders perspective is rooted in a deeply felt family and cultural experience of oppression. Keen to recognizing brutality as it quietly forms under the veneer of institutions, he spent his life fighting for civil rights.

Generation after generation, the Establishment has built a network of organizations and political dynasties designed to keep power in the clutches of the Old Money, but it looks like Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders are about to capsize this "Titanic" society.

The followers of Trump and Sanders are not really distinct. We all want to end the Establishment's crushing, greedy rule that sabotages individual achievement and comfort through the use of corporate monopolies and outsourcing.

We move on, we make new friends, but bitter memories of betrayal and meanness don't go away. I live vicariously through this political season, watching as the main-stream media (MSM) fails to attack both Trump and Sanders. Time and again the MSM shows its powerlessness against the Internet and the will of the people.

But Sanders’s aide, the report said, still objected, and “he got very hot and there was like a five- or seven-minute back and forth and he just wouldn’t let it go,” the campaign source told Yahoo News.

The search results can tell the rest of the story.

The Paris Attacks started at 9:20 PM Friday according to CNN, which would be 4:20 PM Eastern U.S. time according to CNN. According to Yahoo, the conference call was on Saturday Morning. If the conference call took place in Iowa that would make sense.

I need to get my time zones figured out:

The entire mass media jumped on this bandwagon. What kind of story is this? It seems like a swarm of Piranhas to a single drop of blood that may or may not even exist.

It's obvious how complicit most of the media is against Bernie Sanders, how likely would something like this be a complete fabrication?

Hillary baits Bernie beautifully: “Shouting,” sexism — and the simple sorry that would make Sanders look less jerky

They tried racism, now they're trying sexism? You can read about all the details in the links.

There comes a point in time where a candidate's message is so simple, so clear and concise, that it becomes the sharpest sword on the field of battle, and can never be dulled by any ambiguity of position,

Bernie Sanders has made up my mind. Unless someone new steps in, or something truly dark from Bernie's past rears its ugly head, there really is no reason for me to follow presidential politics anymore.

The important work lies ahead. As voters we must find a Congress that will work with Bernie.

We must look into our own states and our own congressional districts to find Representatives and Senators who have the courage to endorse Bernie Sanders.

How to Shrink Inequality

Bernie Sanders has spent decades attacking inequality. Now the country is listening.

Princeton Professor Angus Deaton won the Nobel Prize in Economics.

A large portion of Bernie Sanders run for the White House in 2015 has been Economic Inequality. Economists Paul Krugman and Robert Reich have been writing about it for years too.

It looks like there is a growing consensus that income inequality is reaching the same ratio that predated the French Revolution that ended the reign of King Louis XVI, and later the Russian Communist Revolution that ended the reign of Tsar Nicholas II.

What's the difference between then and now? The proliferation of firearms among the American people. What's Bernie's position on guns?

So, which way do you want America to go, left or down in flames?

Clinton's quotes favoring Pacific trade pact she now opposes

The era of politics as a popularity contest is drawing to a close. Before the Internet, candidates had the luxury of compartmentalizing and keeping separate, audiences based on social values. It made campaign speech writing much easier. It also made it easy to keep the people fighting among themselves.

Social values such as abortion, gun control, religion in public schools, political correctness, and so on, are all in the tool chest of political power, designed to keep the public from unifying long enough for the Capitalists to create a fascist plutocracy. President Lyndon Johnson was well aware of this strategy

"If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice your're picking his pocket. Hell, give him someone to look down on and he'll empty his pockets for you." -- Lyndon Johnson

 Compartmentalization no longer works these days as everyone can see the conflicting messages of old-style politics, partly because of the Internet, and partly because the economic stress of 40 years under the thumb of corporate plutocracy has reached critical mass.

It's a new era of honesty, and Bernie Sanders needs no bag of tricks.
