My organization does not even participate in this 2016 general election because it is so fraudulent and the candidates are all so criminal we are not voting at all.  Clinton Wall Street global corporate neo-liberal media outlets are calling TRUMP authoritarian and a brutal dictator while the Bush neo-conservatives ramp up the posing that the Clintons and Obamas are far-left wing socialists, communists, MARXISTS.
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see the media message machine filling the American people with what they see as MOVING FORWARD----far-right 1% Wall Street Libertarian Marxism.  The extreme wealth and extreme poverty of third world International Economic Zones.


Below is a right-wing media outlet promoting far-right Libertarian Marxism to a conservative Republican voter pool-----EVERYONE KNOW THE CLINTONS ARE AS WALL STREET AND EXTREME WEALTH AND POWER AS IT GETS----we do not allow media to tell us---'but now these same pols are far-left'.

Whether it is the radio or internet political commentators working for Wall Street by sending dis-information to both Democrats and Republicans-----our US media and academies once the best in the world at HOLDING POWER ACCOUNTABLE----are now the source of third world propaganda.
  Johns Hopkins----University of Maryland----University of Baltimore----the 15 religious leaders partnered with Wall Street Baltimore Development and that Foreign Economic Zone ONE WORLD plan----all Maryland Assembly and Baltimore City Hall pols KNOW THIS and as the 5% to the 1% they will keep LYING, CHEATING, AND STEALING.

ONE WORLD has a 1% and their 2% very rich holding 99% in extreme poverty ----that is SLAVERY----NOT COMMUNISM/SOCIALISM.  The far-right wing has used MARXISM as the tool to move societal structures to the far-right, authoritarian, militaristic, rule by the rich and have always called this LEFT-LEANING -----MAO, STALIN, OTHER BRUTAL DICTATORS saying they are socialist are simply sociopaths wanting all their nations' wealth to themselves.

MARXIST GRADUALISM IS NOT LEFT-LEANING IT IS FAR-RIGHT CORPORATE WEALTH AND POWER.

If a media outlet is selling these propaganda terms----STOP LISTENING TO THEM and educate citizens about why that media outlet is WALL STREET CAPTURED.

Trump will MOVE FORWARD with ONE WORLD just as Hillary has spent her entire political career doing---it will be brutal for all population groups no matter which of these two players are tapped to win rigged elections.

 If the American people do not HOLD MEDIA accountable for deliberately protecting 1% Wall Street----we cannot stop this dis-information---make those local, state, and national media outlet SHAMED.

All of Baltimore's media reporters-----private, non-profit, government----are propagandizing.





A Marxist Hillary Fantasizes About Redistributing Trump’s Wealth When He’s DEAD
by S. Noble • August 12, 2016  INDEPENDENT SENTINEL

And She's Applauded For It

Hillary Clinton showed off her true Marxist-Communist values and her vision of what she – as the government -would do with Trump’s money after he’s dead during her speech on the economy Thursday and she did so to rousing applause.
The media should be grabbing on to this in no time.
Envisioning a dead Trump, she saw his hard-earned money going, not to his heirs, but to the government that would first take their slice and then pass it on somewhere to their liking, mostly to cronies who donate and some would go to their special interest voters.
“And then there’s the estate tax,” Hillary said, “which Trump wants to eliminate altogether.” Now if you believe that he’s as wealthy as he says, that alone would save the Trump family four billion dollars. It would do nothing for 99.8% of Americans. So they’d get a four billion dollar tax cut, and 99.8% of Americans would get nothing.
“Just think of what we could do with those four billion dollars. We could pay for more than forty-seven thousand veterans to get a four-year college degree. We could provide a year’s worth of health care to nearly three million kids. Or we could fund a year’s worth of federal assistance to state and local law enforcement. I think there are a lot of better ways to spend the money.”
This is no different than a thief desiring another person’s money and going up to them with a gun and demanding it.
The estate tax is theft plain and simple but a lot of Americans now believe it’s the government’s money and that they will share it appropriately after they take their slice and pay off union workers.
So successful is man’s greed and jealousy that people will be happy simply to see the rich have their money stolen from them, even after death. They see the rich as evil and everyone else as good when in fact most rich are good and generous people but not all poor are good.
Her communist tenets of class warfare and redistribution of wealth with the government as thief are now accepted by many Democrats and some Republicans. where is the media?
Hillary will kill small business who will be taxed as richer than they are because they are taxed before deductions. She will make the super rich and corporations pay more though the top 1% already pay more than 45.7% of the federal taxes with nearly half the country – 45% – paying nothing – they have no stake in this country.
That is not moral. Listen to what she is saying — it’s moral for the government to confiscate wealth and put it in the pockets of those who did nothing to earn it. She is saying it’s moral to tax someone 60 to 70 percent or more of their income and it’s just fine to tax them after death on money that has already been taxed and that they earned.
And, no, you didn’t build that, they did.
Then there is leftist cry of “The Buffet Rule,” which is built on a lie. It’s a campaign gimmick.
The Buffett rule is a fraud and next to the faux war on women, it is one of the biggest frauds ever perpetrated on the American people.
For example, the 30% income tax rate on capital gains would raise less than 6% of the total cost of the stimulus and would raise roughly the same amount in one year as the U.S. government accumulates in debt in a single day.

The Buffett rule is totally meaningless, not serious. Reporters should do their job and put this in perspective.
The media is going along with this hoax and pretending that the Buffett rule will make the difference. They investigate nothing Hillary or Obama say.




Hillary is echoing Obama’s bad policies for the economy. Buffett didn’t even define the rule the way Obama is defining it – check his video at the end to see how confused he is. This is nothing more than a political ruse.
Prosperity comes from the producers, notably when they are able to hire people, invent, build. It does not come from the government. We saw eight years of the government “building” at slightly better than 1% growth in the GDP.

Obama is not telling the American people the truth.

Former Mayor Mike Bloomberg disputed the Buffett doctrine and said that, “A very small percentage in this country pay a big chunk of the taxes” which we noted above.

Our tax system is already overly progressive and it’s about to get worse with Obama’s doppelgänger Hillary, only she’s far more corrupt.


__________________________________________

I don't want to get into tax policy now but to point once more to dis-information coming from this time the right-wing media---it is CLINTON/BUSH/OBAMA as far-right Wall Street global pols who created extreme wealth and extreme poverty.  It is this extreme poverty whether low wages or unemployment that has 45% of US citizens paying no taxes----if you want people paying more taxes raise wages and stop deliberately creating national and local STAGNANT economies.  Second, Foreign Economic Zone policies keep global corporations from paying taxes----they are called TAX-FREE ZONES----and the IRS has not audited the rich for tax evasion since Reagan.  We know Obama's IRS has allowed hundreds of billions of dollars in corporate tax evasion---SO THE 1% ARE NOT PAYING 45.7% OF THE FEDERAL TAXES.

THE SOON TO BE 99% OF AMERICANS HAVING NO STAKE IN THIS COUNTRY BECAUSE THEY ARE BEING DRIVEN TO THIRD WORLD WAGES AND DEEP POVERTY SAY THE RIGHT-WING.

The right-wing media are saying all this because the coming CONGRESSIONAL TAX REFORM is about installing ONE WORLD World Bank written tax standards that will continue the current structures having the 99% paying more and more and more taxes to subsidize global corporate campus development.  We hear our US citizens repeating all this because they do not educate themselves BROADLY to know these media outlets are LYING.


'She will make the super rich and corporations pay more though the top 1% already pay more than 45.7% of the federal taxes with nearly half the country – 45% – paying nothing – they have no stake in this country'.

____________________

Remember, these 1% Wall Street media outlets are neither Republican or Democrat---they are global 1% media dis-information.  LIBERTY ALLIANCE has a website with religious verse bringing that FAKE RELIGIOUS calling to their views.  Note that religious leaders calling a global corporate campus like UnderArmour good for jobs and poor communities are just as FAKE tied to IVY LEAGUE wealth and power.
It does not take much to see what China or USSR citizens were receiving as far as media as Stalin and Mao were being installed.  These same distortions as to goals.  The last thing that comes from far-right Libertarianism is freedom and liberty unless you are the 1% and their 2%---yet right-wing voters have fallen for this over these few decades just as left-wing voters have allowed media to paint Clinton/Obama neo-liberals as left-leaning.


Exposing the Marxist/Communist Past of Hillary Clinton

By Liberty Alliance on April 16, 2015

 I left off on the last article with how Hillary Rodham Clinton wants a revolutionary change and the building of a new society founded on Marxist principles. Hillary Rodham Clinton is an evil individual who has been taught that the United States has to change to a more Socialistic/Marxist way. She was against the Vietnam War and led protests against it, showing her disregard for the military and what they were doing to try and hold Communism at bay in Vietnam. That did not matter to Hillary at all; her ideas were more like Stalin and Hitler than any of our ideas of the United States.



Please take the time to educate on these people tied to LIBERTY ALLIANCE and then follow them to other connections to know the organizations that are captured to Wall Street.  Democratic voters need to know both sides of the aisles in order to know when the far-right are posing as left-leaning media sources----like REAL NEWS.

'About the Center For American Progress'

Below you see ThinkProgress is tied to one of the most progressively MOVING FORWARD NEO-LIBERAL ORGANIZATIONS ----CENTER FOR AMERICAN PROGRESS.  The title it tied to empire-building as progressive economics.....AKA---neo-liberalism.



'The Writers Guild of America East announced Thursday that the staffers of ThinkProgress, the liberal blog of the nonprofit Center for American Progress Action Fund, had joined the union. The guild said management had agreed to voluntarily recognize the union and forego holding a workplace election'.

Below we see Media Matters tied to SOROS----clearly tied to Clinton and economic empire-building Clinton neo-liberalism.  Brock is called a turncoat for leaving what was a conservative Republican media outlet for a far-right Wall Street neo-liberal one.  Nothing left-leaning media happening with GAWKER, THINKPROGRESS, MEDIA MATTERS, OR CENTER FOR AMERICAN PROGRESS.


'Brock is a famous turncoat, working as a conservative reporter for The American Spectator in the 1990’s before crafting an elaborate conversion to liberalism'.

Media Matters Founder David Brock: We Appreciate Soros Funding To Pursue Journalists

Media Matters founder David Brock said Sunday that he’s grateful for progressive billionaire George Soros’ “generosity” and confirmed that he chooses to “pursue” journalists if he “starts to see patterns” in their work.

Brock, his silver mane and bizarre vocal intonations lending him the likeness of a socially awkward Bond villain, sat in San Francisco for a softball interview with CNN’s Reliable Sources to respond to the controversy surrounding former CBS News reporter Sharyl Attkisson. The liberal smear machine Media Matters has been hammering the brilliant female investigative reporter with the term “shoddy reporting” to describe her exposes on Obama administration scandals including Fast and Furious and Benghazi.


Attkisson said that she was discouraged from reporting negatively on the Obama administration while at CBS News and claimed that Media Matters was paid to target her work specifically. Brock denied the accusation, but confirmed that his group pursues journalists who emerge on his “radar screen.”
“Look, we’re almost 24/7 monitoring a cross range of national political media and she came on our radar screen in the normal course of events. There was nothing unusual about it. We noticed a pattern of misinformation in her work, we posted critiques to our website of her work, and it was all transparent,” Brock said.
 

“You do pursue individual journalists who you feel are inaccurate or are biased,” the host asked.
“Sure we do. Right. It’s well beyond Sharryl Atkisson. We’re watching, we’re monitoring all of national journalism and once we start to see patterns we will stay on a story just like a journalist will stay on a story. And so in her case we did stay on her story,” Brock said.
“We do work with reporters. We’re a media watchdog group,” Brock said.
Media Matters’ smears of conservative journalists, which often link right-leaning outlets and commentators to accusations of bigotry of some variety, are routinely parroted by the mainstream media.
“We appreciate George Soros’ generosity. He is a major donor but it’s not a huge percentage of our budget,” Brock said, placing Soros’ contributions to his funding at “less than ten percent.”


Brock either struggled with his earpiece or scratched his head at one point in the interview, prompting a CNN cutaway, and generally looked and sounded even more out of touch with reality than usual.
The Daily Caller famously exposed Media Matters in a 2012 investigation, in which TheDC revealed that Brock travels with armed bodyguards to protect himself against imagined right-wing snipers and that he wanted to fire an employee for being physically unattractive.
“There were a lot of conversations about David’s mental health,” said an attendee of a 2008 Democracy Alliance meeting that Brock attended, where he made an aggressive alienating scene. A number of people in Brock’s orbit believed that he was using illegal drugs including cocaine.
Brock is a famous turncoat, working as a conservative reporter for The American Spectator in the 1990’s before crafting an elaborate conversion to liberalism.

The videos from yesterday from LOU DOBBS to United We Fall----speak of the term FOURTH ESTATE.  This is not conspiracy theory it is an actual network of what I call the 5% to the 1% of media citizens.  We must educate as to their bias in reporting just enough not to tell the real truth------they will not interview anyone considered really populist because they do not want left-leaning gaining name recognition.  These folks are mostly Ivy League grads------fraternity and sorority citizens thinking they are part of this empire-building.  They are tied to FREEMASONRY-----those professionals thinking that secret knock and funny hat really has them with the global 1%!

Baltimore's media is TOTALLY CAPTURED to these 5% to the 1% and they are committed to keeping the focus on MOVING FORWARD and hiding what the real goals of US CITIES DEEMED INTERNATIONAL ECONOMIC ZONES UNDER TRANS PACIFIC TRADE PACT----feeding our youth with false ideas about what a COSMOPOLITAN BALTIMORE will look like.


'The origins of the term “the fourth estate” are best explained within the context of the medieval “estates of the realm.” In medieval society, three “estates” were formally recognized: the clergy, the nobility, and the commoners'.

We see above where the medieval structures around society were clergy tied to nobility over commoners and this is just what the 1% Wall Street global corporate pols with a captured media are trying to install.  It is why we are seeing that 5% to the 1% RELIGIOUS citizens working hard for Wall Street Development Corporations as in Baltimore.  Providing fake left-leaning cover for very bad extreme wealth and extreme authoritarian corporate power!

IT'S ALL GOOD FOR THE POOR AND WORKERS!

The fourth estate is the public press, referred to as a collective and encompassing photographers, journalists, television broadcasters, and radio announcers, among others. Many people generally agree that the press, or media, has immense political and social power, thanks to the fact that it can be used to shape societies while imparting news of note and commentary of interest. Because it is recognized as such an important body, many nations have laws which protect the rights of the press, ensuring that citizens have access to reporting on matters of interest and of note.
The origins of the term “the fourth estate” are best explained within the context of the medieval “estates of the realm.” In medieval society, three “estates” were formally recognized: the clergy, the nobility, and the commoners. Each estate had a very distinct social role and a certain level of power, and the idea became so entrenched in European society that it still lives on, to some extent, although society is far more egalitarian today.

In the middle of the 19th century, people began referring to the press as a fourth estate, referencing the fact that most parliaments and other houses of government had an area set aside specifically for the use of the press, and pointing out that the press was a distinct group within the larger framework of the realm. Several historians credit the coinage of the term to Edmund Burke, who is said to have referenced it when discussing the French Revolution, and Thomas Carlyle, a 19th century author, popularized the term.


The press plays a very important role in most societies, reporting on a wide variety of topics and creating powerful personalities who are relied upon for sources of information and commentary. Writing about the first estate in 1841, Thomas Carlyle pointed out that the press had a powerful role in parliamentary procedure, shaping the will of the people and influencing the outcome of votes among the government, as well. Carlyle also argued that the press was an important part of a democratic society, saying that writing gives people “a tongue which others will listen to.”


Because of the importance of journalism in society, most members of the media abide by certain professional and personal ethics. Many journalists attempt to cultivate an air of neutrality, focusing on reporting of the issues as they are so that people can judge the facts for themselves, while others focus on offering commentary and analysis from the perspective of a particular position. Journalists are careful as a whole to protect the integrity of the press, protecting sources, verifying information before publication, and using a variety of other techniques to convey a trustworthy appearance to the public, encouraging people to put their faith in the media.

_____________________________________________
All of this is of course why the American people have no clue as to goals of public policy or how to fix the corruption that holds our governance.  It is why as well as the MARXIST GRADUALISM states from CLINTON TO BUSH TO OBAMA the 1% Wall Street was allowed to ignore our US Constitution---pass laws killing democracy and our status as republic and loot all the wealth of our nation during those times----the Robber Baron years were not televised nor will this coming people's revolutions.

Baby boomers know what a societal structure built for CIVICS AND CIVIL ENGAGEMENT looks like.  We had strong public structures----our city government and state government funded those public forums for public policy discussion and debate among citizens.  Our public universities were filled with professors wanting to promote that civil engagement as citizens decided if they wanted to attend a conservative university in a Republican state or a socially liberal one in a Democratic state.  Today our public universities have CEOs trying hard to close or privatize to corporate R AND D------our once strong public universities.


Americans know surprisingly little about their government, survey finds

September 17, 2014



PHILADELPHIA – Americans show great uncertainty when it comes to answering basic questions about how their government works, a national survey conducted by the Annenberg Public Policy Center of the University of Pennsylvania has found.

The survey of 1,416 adults, released for Constitution Day (Sept. 17) in conjunction with the launch of the Civics Renewal Network, found that:
  • While little more than a third of respondents (36 percent) could name all three branches of the U.S. government, just as many (35 percent) could not name a single one.
  • Just over a quarter of Americans (27 percent) know it takes a two-thirds vote of the House and Senate to override a presidential veto.
  • One in five Americans (21 percent) incorrectly thinks that a 5-4 Supreme Court decision is sent back to Congress for reconsideration.
“Although surveys reflect disapproval of the way Congress, the President and the Supreme Court are conducting their affairs, the Annenberg survey demonstrates that many know surprisingly little about these branches of government,” said Kathleen Hall Jamieson, director of the Annenberg Public Policy Center (APPC). “This survey offers dramatic evidence of the need for more and better civics education.”



The Civics Renewal Network


To address the problem, APPC and 25 other nonpartisan organizations, including the Library of Congress, the National Constitution Center, the U.S. Courts, the National Archives, and the Newseum, announced the launch of the Civics Renewal Network, a unique partnership among some of the nation’s leaders in civics education. The network offers free, high-quality resources for teachers through the one-stop website www.civicsrenewalnetwork.org.


The Civics Renewal Network is celebrating Constitution Day with coast-to-coast activities and running public service ads in some major television markets encouraging viewers to learn about the Constitution. The ads can be seen on YouTube here and here.
In a first, the U.S. Courts are holding 27 naturalization ceremonies at iconic sites from Maine to Alaska. Students at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia and more than 550 schools nationwide will take the “Preamble Challenge,” reciting the 52-word Preamble to the Constitution. An American Academy of Arts & Sciences symposium at the Newseum’s Knight Conference Center in Washington, D.C., will examine the role of civics in American life, followed by a keynote address from new National Endowment for the Humanities chairman William “Bro” Adams. Those events will be video-streamed by the Academy here. The full day’s schedule can be found on the APPC site here. A 10:30 a.m. news conference by the Civics Renewal Network also will be video-streamed on its site.


Most Americans do not know which parties control the House and Senate


The study also found that more than half of Americans do not know which party controls the House and Senate:
  • Asked which party has the most members in the House of Representatives, 38 percent said they knew the Republicans are the majority, but 17 percent responded the Democrats, and 44 percent reported that they did not know (up from 27 percent who said they did not know in 2011).
  • Asked which party controls the Senate, 38 percent correctly said the Democrats, 20 percent said the Republicans, and 42 percent said they did not know (also up from 27 percent who said they did not know in 2011).
