Why Jill can beat Hillary

... and Trump

by system failure

In previous article we examined the advantages of Jill Stein against Bernie Sanders, but this is not enough. She must also beat the establishment, thus Hillary Clinton, as well as, Donald Trump, in order to offer a real alternative and perspective to the American people for the first time in decades. Stein is now the person who could make the Sanders movement play a central role and crush the US bipartisanism.

The establishment mechanisms don't have actually any substantial arguments to support the corrupted, neocon/neoliberal, warmongering Hillary, therefore, they promote her through some very superficial "tricks".

As described in previous article: “One of the most successful psychological techniques used by the mechanisms of the establishment, is the bombardment of mind with isolated words, or, phrases, ending up to become powerful symbols. These symbols are frequently so powerful that manage to prevail over the ability of mind to build a rational hierarchy. Which, many times, equals to heavy misjudgment. For example, the fact that the United States will have the opportunity to be governed "for the first time in their history by a female president", often prevails over what this president truly represents, especially among the female voters. The election of Hillary will give a superficial satisfaction to many Americans, that the United States will become an even more progressive society (after Obama term), while in reality, Hillary will certainly follow the "politics as usual", totally aligned with the neocon agenda.

Being a woman, Jill Stein instantly destroys this key "argument" upon which the establishment built its support for Hillary Clinton. So, why vote Hillary when you have Jill? You can still have your first female president in the US history, truly progressive, anti-establishment. She can bring a real change. Who needs Hillary?

The second key "argument" through which the establishment supports Hillary Clinton, is by projecting the danger of "monster" Donald Trump in power. The establishment is exercising an unprecedented pressure, which could be easily considered a type of psychological terror, on politicians and even progressive voters who don't want by no means to vote and support Hillary Clinton. The "argument" is known: 'you will held responsible if you will not vote Hillary, permitting the "monster" Trump to take the power'.

However, there are numerous indications that Trump is just a reserve of the establishment in case that things go wrong with Clinton.

First of all, it appears that the most favourable candidate of the corporate media is not Hillary Clinton, but, quite surprisingly indeed, Donald Trump. It was pointed that “The most impressive here is not that Sanders has so little time coverage compared to the other two. This was something, more or less, expected. The most impressive, is that Donald Trump, who is promoted as "anti-establishment", takes more time coverage in the media, even compared to the definitely-pro-establishment Hillary Clinton!

Furthermore, Trump received recently some “signals” from the establishment pundits to become more "presidential". Indeed, he tried to "soften" his rhetoric in order to enlarge his voter tank. Why the establishment rushes to "fix" its alternative option to Hillary?

The answer can be found not only to the fact that Clinton is a highly "saturated" candidate with plenty of scandals chasing her in everyday basis. Not only she won't be able to increase her power further, but, on the contrary, she may lose power exactly due to these scandals that tend to become a routine, as well as due to her dark past.

Above all, the most serious fear of the establishment is related to a parameter which can't be seen in polls, thus can't be measured: the millions of Americans who have chosen to stay out of the political process for years.

In case that this crucial mass of politically inactive citizens decide to take action supporting Jill Stein, both Clinton and Trump will stand in front of a major defeat. The combined power of this immeasurable parameter with the movement of Bernie Sanders could beat the establishment much earlier than nearly no one could expect, bringing a truly hopeful future for the United States and the world.

It's certainly a long shot, but the determination of the American people and especially the American youth for a real change, may bring this gigantic political earthquake in the very short time until the election fight of November.

A response to misinformation on Nicaragua: it was a coup, not a ‘massacre’

There is so much misinformation in mainstream corporate media about recent events in Nicaragua that it is a pity that Mary Ellsberg’s article for Pulse has added to it with a seemingly leftish critique. Ellsberg claims that recent articles, including from this website, often “ paint a picture of the crisis in Nicaragua that is dangerously misleading. ” Unfortunately, her own article does just that. It looks at the situation entirely from the perspective of those opposing Daniel Ortega’s government while whitewashing their malevolent behavior and downplaying the levels of US support they have relied on. Her piece is an incomplete depiction of what is happening on the ground, ignoring many salient facts that have come to light and which have been outdated by recent events. The following is a brief response to Ellsberg’s main points from someone who lives in Nicaragua and has observed the situation directly and intimately: https://grayzoneproject.com/2018/08/15/a-res...

Already happens: Capitalism destroys human labor force and goes to the next phase

by system failure Connecting the dots one can discover the most nightmarish scenarios. Destructive capitalism's next phase is the total substitution of the human labor force with robotic machines, or in other words, the hyper-automatization. There is a process taking place right now, and no one (or nearly no one) knows what would happen after its completion. The true picture behind unemployment From a latest article in PressTV: “ Did you know that there are nearly 102 million working age Americans that do not have a job right now? And 20 percent of all families in the United States do not have a single member that is employed. So how in the world can the government claim that the unemployment rate has “dropped” to '6.3 percent'?” “ Well, it all comes down to how you define who is 'unemployed'. For example, last month the government moved another 988,000 Americans into the 'not in the labor force' category.” http://www.presstv.ir/detail...

Mossad ‘in contact from very beginning’ with killers of Italian PM, reporter reveals

A roving reporter who covered Italy’s top politicians explains to The Grayzone how his country was reduced to a joint US-Israeli “aircraft carrier,” and raises troubling questions about an Israeli role in the killing of Prime Minister Aldo Moro.   by Kit Klarenberg and Wyatt Reed   Part 1   For years, Israel’s Mossad monitored and secretly influenced a violent communist faction that carried out the March 16, 1978 kidnapping and murder of Italian statesman Aldo Moro, veteran investigative journalist Eric Salerno has documented. Having worked closely alongside multiple Italian heads of state during his 30-year career as a correspondent, Salerno published an expose of their secret relationship with Israeli intelligence in 2010 called Mossad Base Italy. The reporter told The Grayzone that Moro, who was arguably Italy’s most important leader, became a thorn in the side of powerful forces who sought to keep his country firmly lodged in the pro-Western bloc. Salerno believes It...
