(Originally posted as a comment upon the long line of crowing, two-dimensional centrist fools who posted gleeful comments on Booman’s recent article Trump’s Ship is Going Down regarding the few people here who think that two wrongs do not make a right. But of course, they do make a centrist. So does limiting consideration to two dimensions. WTFU.)
=================
This is an open letter to all of the credulous centrist posters on this site who think that the people who are busily…and apparently successfully…trying to take down Trump are “the good guys”:
They are not. They are people who are shoring up the corporate-owned globalist movement that has caused the economy of the U.S. to almost totally tank over the past 35 years or so. They prosecute wars in defense of the .01% and sell them to the rubes as “righteous.” They have made the U.S. the primary enemy of a huge part of the population of the world, and I do not only mean ISIS, al Queda or any other terrorist organization. They are preparing to rule a worldwide serf class…you folks included…by means of total surveillance.
Sometimes there is more than one group of bad guys in action. Partisan politics has nothing to do with this. Not really. It is just another tool that the controllers use to fragment and deceive the population. Knee-jerk Republicans and knee-jerk Democrats are all fools.
Trump has probably met his match.
So what?
He will be replaced by yet another cooperative front man, and the Big Con will continue.
Here is the real deal:
Four professional front men yukking it up for the camera.
Two Republicans and two Democrats.
You think that they were not owned lock, stock and barrel by international monies?
Give me a break!!!
You think that the almost total media opposition to Trump from the very beginning wasn’t based on his not being owned by “the right people?” That it was because he is some kind of stupid candidate? If that is true, why were equally stupid candidates like Bush II and Ronald Reagan not totally opposed by the same media?
Answer me that riddle, please.
And answer this question as well.
Are you better off than you were before Bush I…the first in this most recent line of PermaGov hustlers to be president…was elected?
Is the U.S.?
I don’t think so.
The rich are richer and their gentrified areas are doing well, but what about the rest of the country?
In fact…what about you!!!
Unless you are a compliant part of the Big Lie Machine…Big Media, Big Finance, Big Tech, Big Med, Big Insurance, Big Academia, Big Politics, etc…you are not doing very well at all.
And a third and final question.
Do you think this con game can go on forever?
I don’t.
So…go snark your empty snark and rate your empty ratings. Your time will come. Bet on it.

P.S. When two Big Lies meet, the bigger one will always win.
And here we jolly well are, aren’t we.
Up Con Creek without a paddle.
I’m not better off than I was before RR was President! Actually hit my peak under Nixon, but that wasn’t him. That was just being a few years out of college rather than being in college. Bought a new car in 1968. Bought my first house in 1971 and another new car in 1973. That was the last new car until the great GM fire sale in 2005. Sure wish I had that first house. it’s now selling for more than this one.
But I’m doing OK. I always gauge my wealth by whether I can afford a hard cover book or a paper back. In the aftermath of the dot com bust (and the H1-B invasion) I couldn’t afford a $1.00 book at the remainder store! Now I can punch up Amazon anytime 24-7 and buy whatever book I want. Thank FDR for SS! And Thank Woodrow Wilson for CSRS! And Thank LBJ for Medicare!
I’ve been looking at this website for maybe 1-1/2 years, a much shorter time than than you, AG, but it’s been pretty clear that you use the word “centrist” as a term of abuse rather than a term describing a particular political orientation. And as for your own political orientation: well, frankly I have no idea. It would be easiest to assume that you use the snarky “centrist” terminology to draw a contrast with your own lefty bonafides, but since you’ve been a supporter of Ron and Rand Paul, it’s very hard to see you having any lefty bonafides at all. I’d be happy to be proven wrong about this.
I answered this in some detail, JDW. Apparently it has been “disappeared”…zeroed out…by one of our lovely posters. I will post my answer to you once again in a standalone post tomorrow.
AG
No, I was wrong. It somehow got moved to a place above on this thread…the one that begins “I support minimal central power.”
AG
I support minimal central power. Power corrupts. Massive power corrupts massively. And here we are, presently governed by the most massively bought-and-sold government in the history of the world.
i reject categiories like “libertarian,” because i didn’t get this way from reading books or following leaders, I got here by simple observation…the same simple observation that made me believe Trump was going tro win the nomination and then be elected president before just about anybody who was not on his team bewlieved it. I actually don’t think that many of <them beleved when you get right down to it…they were just in it for the job. Hell, there are reports out now that his wife and he signed divorce papers well before the election but did not file them on the off chance that he might actually win. That could just be more false news, but it rings true to me.
I strive to be “beyond category,” a phrase Duke Ellington often used regarding people that he thought were the real deal. I use “centrist” as a derogatory term simply because the duopoly/UniParty political center that has ruled here for well over 50 years now has not done very well by the country. If it had? If we were a peacefully thriving country now? I’d be a centrist too. But we’re not, so i do not value those people or their work.
“Left?” “Right?” “Blue?” “Red?” More media gibberish. More political gobbledygook. I support Bernie Sanders. I support Elizabeth Warren. I support Rand and Ron Paul. They all have different approaches to breaking the centrist logjam, but they all also realize that it must be broken for anythjinbg to change here.
So does Donald Trump support breaking that logjam, but I believe that his reasons are entirely selfish, just like all the rest of his actions.
So…what amI?
I am an independent thinker is what I am.
Take it or leave, it; I don’t really care.
Gandhi pinned it, as far as i can see.
Twice.
I do keep trying…
AG
Thinking is dangerous. Our masters don’t want you to think. Just to react.
Seth Abramson, whose analysis I respect, otherwise wouldn’t link here, has a summary on Louise Mensch, claiming she is a rt winger posing as progressive to discredit the left. I insert tweet of his summary, and in the sequence he gives his reasoning.
what I mean is go over and read his entire series to see how he reasons it out
