(53 posts)While I do not occupy the lofty places with good sources you all may, recently we all at FB had an experience that validated some theories I have. I HOPE and PRAY that I am wrong.IN fact so much so that sometiems I wish this all was a bad dream.
In the seventies, many outlandish methods were used by J EDgar etc and his cronies to shut down the grassroots movements of the seventies. Does anyone doubt that no tech is being used to play same games. Look at the Koch brothers money. A great deal of it has been used to spread disinformation about our president .
ON the Media , on Saturdays show.. reported 15 to one negative ads. Now do you really think ads are all they are doing. I won't go into all I saw at FB that proves this to me. BUt let's just say FB taking right wing money has made that place herd management for the powers of darkness. IF the REpublicans get in in NOvember , which if folks keep telling others all politicians are the same.. we all will regret it down the road.
I believe Obama is so often attacked because he does care about the people. he just works in an environment full of vipers.
There has been a concerted effort both here, in the UK and other countries to trot out shills like Russell Brand to say "all are not worth voting for" To me this seems an obvious ploy to disengage the voter from caring .It's also to encourage hopelessness. Four years ago the apathy and low voter turnout got us a rabid bunch of right wing nutcases trying to win the day. Now , in NC, we have a RETHUG governor.. I shudder to think what will happen to folks in my populations of disabled.. if they win.
mY experience with backlash to outspoken truth tellers.. is this.. IF someone is telling the truth... they will be attacked. I'd take the attacks as proof of a stories veracity and also proof that Obama is not what the nasty lying media has painted him to be. He's a good man.. who has had a hell of a time.. Has anyone looked at that mans face lately.IF you cannot see the strain ..get glasses.
The above is only an opinion.. but it's an honest opinion. Want to beat me up about it ..I won't engage.I live for peace.. with respect.
