As the just completed Democratic presidential primaries and the Democratic presidential convention have clearly demonstrated, <strong>the United States now has two Republican parties in service to the One-Percent.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>The organized Democrats\u2013the Democratic National Committee\u2013have shown themselves to be even more venal and corrupt than the Republicans<\/strong>. Leaked emails document that the Democratic National Committee conspired with the Hillary campaign in order to steal the nomination from Bernie Sanders. It is clear that Sanders was the choice of Democratic Party voters for president, but the nomination was stolen from him by vote fraud and dirty tricks.<\/p>\n<p>The DNC and the media whores have tried to discredit the incriminating emails by alleging that the leaked emails resulted from a plot by Russia\u2019s President Vladimir Putin in behalf of \u201cPutin\u2019s American agent,\u201d Donald Trump.<em><strong> \u201cA vote for Trump is a vote for Putin,\u201d as the presstitute scum put it.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><u><strong>This diversionary tactic has not worked. <\/strong><\/u>Not even Americans are stupid enough to fall for it.<\/p>\n<p>Consequently, the corrupt \u201cleader\u201d of the DNC had to resign and was unable to deliver her speech at the nominating convention from fear of being booed off the stage.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sanders\u2019 supporters have abandoned Hillary and the fake \u201cDemocratic Party.\u201d Probably most of them will vote for the Green Party candidate. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The organized Republicans\u2013the Republican National Committee\u2013and the zionist neoconservatives wanted to block Donald Trump from the nomination just as the DNC blocked Sanders, but could not. The neoconservatives are organizing for Hillary as she is their warmonger and Trump says he is not, but as the Presidential contest is really a contest between the two Republican parties about which gets to be the whore for the One Percent, the RNC, impressed with Hillary\u2019s lack of voter support, seems to be sticking with Trump. Better to be a well-paid whore than to be out in the cold.<\/p>\n<p>In the coming presidential election,<strong> the outcome will probably be determined by whether the powerful oligarchic interest groups decide whether Trump is an actual threat or whether they can cosy up to him and rope him in by appointing his government.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Trump\u2019s disability is that no matter how able an individual is, that person cannot simultaneously make themselves a multi-billionaire and be knowledgeable of economic and foreign policy issues. The bald fact is that Trump, if he becomes president, does not know whom to appoint in order to have the support from his government to effect the changes for which his supporters hope he stands.<\/p>\n<p><strong>When a person becomes President, that person doesn\u2019t suddenly become an encyclopedia with full knowledge.<\/strong> The President is dependent on the information flows from his government. If those information flows support the interests of Wall Street, the corrupt \u201cbanks too big to fail,\u201d the military-security complex, the Israel Lobby, agribusiness, and the extractive industries (energy, mining, timber), the President\u2019s decisions will support these material interests.<\/p>\n<p><u><em>Donald Trump is the American people\u2019s choice, because he is opposed to the offshoring of American jobs\u2013a corporate practice that has enriched the One Percent at the expense of the American middle class.<\/em><\/u><\/p>\n<p><u><em>Donald Trump is the American people\u2019s choice, because he opposes the fabricated, gratuitous conflict with Russia. Even Americans understand that taking war to a major nuclear power will not end well.<\/em><\/u><\/p>\n<p><u><em>Donald Trump is the American people\u2019s choice because he realizes that NATO\u2013an organization whose purpose disappeared 25 years ago when the Soviet Union collapsed as a result of the coup against Gorbachev by extreme elements of the Soviet Communist Party\u2013now serves as a vehicle and cover for Washington\u2019s aggressions, which are war crimes under the international statutes that Washington created. Washington\u2019s wars benefit some of the One Percent at the expense of both the 99 Percent and millions of innocent peoples in many countries.<\/em><\/u><\/p>\n<p><strong>What will happen now is that the presstitutes will demonize Donald Trump even more than they have demonized Vladimir Putin.<\/strong> The scum presstitutes will do everything that they can possibly do to make a vote for Trump into an act of treason against America.<\/p>\n<p>Now that the presstitutes have learned that they can tell the most blatant lies\u2013Saddam Hussein\u2019s weapons of mass destruction, Iranian nukes, Assad\u2019s use of chemical weapons, Russian invasions\u2013without being held accountable, they know that they can lie about Trump.<\/p>\n<p>And they will. To the hilt.<\/p>\n<p><strong>But the presstitutes have lost credibility. A person has to be an imbecile to believe a word that they say.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cProgressives\u201d will wander off the track. <\/strong>They will be turned off by Trump\u2019s stand on immigration, which is where the American people stand. \u201cProgressives\u201d will be worried about whether the \u2018fascist\u201d Trump will persecute transgender and homosexual people or revoke the right of women to abort the unborn. To \u201cprogressives\u201d this will seem all important as Washington and its NATO vassals hurl the world into nuclear war.<\/p>\n<p>Neither can any intelligence be expected from the defunct American left-wing. The American left-wing supports the official story of 9\/11, the excuse for the last 15 years of illegal wars and the American Police State. To find the American left-wing totally allied with the official explanation of what is in reality a false flag event, committed in order that the neoconservatives would have their new Pearl Harbor in order to invade the Middle East, is demonstrable proof that the American left-wing is irrelevant.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The American left interprets 9\/11 and subsequent false flag events as oppressed peoples striking back at their oppressors.<\/strong> The emotional satisfaction of this takes the impotent American left-wing out not only of action but of relevance in commentary. The American left-wing has become an asset of the enemy\u2013the neoconservatives who control policy in Washington.<\/p>\n<p><u><strong>So, where do we stand? The answer is that we are closer to nuclear annihilation than ever before.<\/strong><\/u> I know of what I speak. I held the highest security clearances. I was a member of a secret committee that enabled President Reagan to end the Cold War.<\/p>\n<p>The President of Russia, Vladimir Putin is doing everything he can possibly do to avoid the nuclear war that the crazed American neoconservatives are bringing to humanity. For his efforts in behalf of planet Earth he is demonized 24 hours a day, seven days a week, year after year. For simply stating facts, I am described by the presstitutes as \u201can apologist for Putin.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>The endless lies about Russia have convinced the Russian media that Washington is mobilizing its NATO vassals for an attack on Russia.<\/strong> <em>Read the transcripts to this Russian media broadcast.<\/em> <a title=\"http:\/\/vimeo.com\/174777588\" href=\"http:\/\/vimeo.com\/174777588\">http:\/\/vimeo.com\/174777588<\/a><\/p>\n<p>If you aren\u2019t scared after absorbing this Russian news broadcast, you are stupid beyond belief. The message is clear: the West has declared war on Russia but is trying to keep Russia off guard by denying it.<\/p>\n<p>The video of the Russian news broadcast also shows the dismissive way the Russian media was treated at the recent NATO conference in Poland. The non-entity representatives of the non-entity countries of Latvia, which has been ruthlessly looted by the West, Estonia, Lithuania, and Poland, and the Ukraine representative either refuse to speak to the Russian media or use the interview to repeat Washington\u2019s false accusations against Russia. These imbeciles insulting Russia are representatives of countries that Russia could destroy in a few minutes. If these idiots think Washington could save them, they are as stupid as the Polish colonels who thought that the British guarantee in March 1939 meant anything and could save Poland from the rash action of sticking Poland\u2019s fingers in Hitler\u2019s eye. This Polish stupidity provoked by the stupid British set off World War II with the British and French declaration of war against Germany, thus consigning Poland to Soviet rule for a half century. Some guarantee! The imbecile Chamberlain who wanted peace started WWII with Britain\u2019s worthless \u201cguarantee.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Does it make you feel safe that the arrogant warmongering imbeciles in Washington have convinced a nuclear power the equal of the United States that America is going to attack?<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, Russia is a nuclear power allied with another nuclear power, China, which has had enough of Washington\u2019s imbecilic provocations. Are you willing for \u201cyour\u201d government to lead your future into nuclear war with two nuclear powers?<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Here we Americans are going into a presidential election and the overpowering fact of our time\u2013that Washington is threatening humanity with nuclear war\u2013is not a subject for discussion! What is the matter with us Americans? Are we stupid beyond all belief? We sit stupidly, thinking that issues of no importance are the most important issues of our time while \u201cour\u201d insane government provokes nuclear war. Have any people in history failed their obligation to this extent? If so, who?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>My case rests. There is no countervailing evidence against the fact that unadulterated evil rules the West and is driving the world to extinction. Western democracy is a total failure. Democracy could not prevent the crazed warmonger Hillary from presidential nomination despite the opposition of the American people.<\/p>\n<p>How long can Russia, and China, wait before they conclude that they have to pre-empt the coming attack from Washington? Does anyone, even stupid Americans, think that once Russia and China are convinced that they are targets for attack that they will just sit there and await the attack?<\/p>\n<p><u><strong>Do peoples as guilty of dereliction of duty as Western peoples are have any right to survive?<\/strong><\/u><\/p>\n<p>___<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.zerohedge.com\/news\/2016-07-31\/paul-craig-roberts-rages-democratic-party-we-knew-it-no-longer-exists\">http:\/\/www.zerohedge.com\/news\/2016-07-31\/paul-craig-roberts-rages-democratic-party-we-knew-it-no-longer-exists<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-44778","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/44778","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=44778"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/44778\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=44778"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=44778"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=44778"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
