Bernie Sanders is right the economy is rigged. He's dead wrong about why.:
Quote:
Generally, the political preferences of rich voters aren't all that different from those of middle-income voters... [M]any billionaires, such as Warren Buffett, Nick Hanauer, and George Soros, generously support organizations and politicians who favor exactly the sort of equalizing redistribution that Sanders demands... The safe guess is that anti-redistribution billionaire cash neutralizes pro-redistribution cash, and vice versa. It's probably close to a wash...

The story of how the economy gets rigged is therefore a bunch of homely little stories of people with nice watches screwing over people with less-nice watches. But it's not class war. It's not the mega rich against the rest of us. It's insiders seeking and then protecting special privileges that give them a leg up... About 30 percent of all jobs in the United States today require some sort of occupational license, up from 5 percent in the early 1950s... It's also the story of big-city gentrifiers who block construction projects that would reduce the cost of housing by expanding its supply, which has the effect of rigging the economy against workers who can no longer afford to live where the best jobs are... It's the story of petty restrictions on the freedom to buy and sell - to commit "capitalist acts between consenting adults", as the philosopher Robert Nozick once put it - which deny dignity and safety to those who work on the margins of the economy. Think of Eric Garner selling untaxed cigarettes on a street corner.

Many of these economic regulations seem trivial in isolation. So what if you can't just decide to give back rubs for money? But when you add up all the things you can't do for money without meeting costly, unjustifiable requirements, you get a dense web of restriction that acts as a suffocating structural barrier to economic opportunity, mobility, and equality.

I think this article on French political history and its philosophical origin is quite interesting, even apart from the immigration issues it addresses. So, I'm carrying it over here from another thread.

"Specimens of Early English Metrical Romances .. ." by George Ellis

- the page 242 contains some fun stuff about cannibalism of the famous English Hero - King Richard. Of course the episode itself is looks like a total false, but anyway there are many articles where I have read only the 'introduction and conclusions " saying that the 'crusader' stuff was a savage, a violent, and even the cannibalic.  So idk, is there anybody knows about a excavations with a cool photos and stuff which confirms or deny a cannibalism of a Holy Paladins?
Perhaps in the "Heroes V: Tribes of The East" someone should add the new skill to the Paladins - "Holy Consuming of a Corpse" . I am joking.

This History is a so crazy subject there are so many, hmm, a 'corrected' views on things.  

P.S. The article about lava is interesting but with a stupid name, anyway I like when less of text rather than a tons and tons of boring sentences, my brain in that case just turning into a 'sleeping mode' for instant .

The article is primarily photos but I have a feeling many of us have
read a lot about chemtrails and saw the photos of the sky trails
already. Anyways, here are some close ups of the internal systems
which are new to me at least.

This Michael Lind, ahh, no the better this particular article of this particular author is looks little bit, weird, for myself.

1) Obviously if you want to make your think tank (according to mr Lind ) work well - you need to isolate your intellectuals from the mainstream-society, else they will be in the Facebook and on the parties , and when their mind will be needed too much, i.e. to protect the Earth from the Aliens! or a Zombie-Virus!, or whatever, .. , you need to find and catch them in hostel rooms during sex.. etc .

2) mr. Lind' opinion about the whole structure of the society :
Quote:


"So it is natural for academics to view a borderless world as the moral and political ideal — natural, but still stupid and lazy. Make-believe cosmopolitanism is particularly stupid and lazy in the case of academics who fancy themselves progressives. In the absence of a global government that could raise taxes to fund a global welfare state, the free movement of people among countries would overburden and destroy existing national welfare states, or else empower right-wing populists to defend welfare states for natives against immigrants, as is happening both in the U.S. and Europe."
- Michael Lind



As for myself is a nonsense, even the society model in the frigging braindamagin pedofilia-paradise like japan cartoon - "Evangelion", even there is far more effective, realistic and better model of the society of Tokyo-3 exists... i.e. Tokyo-3 is a totally democratic and cosmopolitanly, but there also exist a two non-public organization - N.E.R.V. and S.E.E.L.E. , which have an advanced jurisdiction and the power, also they have their own "intellectuals - the bests of the bests" .  

but perhaps it is can be used to make a some psychological portraits of intellect-heroes related on the modern society .


So the my opinion is: To many words about nothing, from nothing to nothing, around nothing. The typo philosophical mumbo-jumbo.

Celfious -

+1 - whahahahhah! A poor monkeys...  A perfect example of the weaknesses of the unchanging system -

I think this is one of the man problems of the well-ordered political ideologies, and religious stuff, such as: Islam, Christianity, Nationalism, Communism.  In the all of this ideologies the "unbeliever" is automatically becomes the enemy, and obviously the punishment will appear. But the modern Christianity is little bit different, acording to the Homer171, but anyway from my own experience I will include the Christianity in this list.  

I have noted this experiment, perhaps I will find a more information about. Even if this an experiment is a bunch of a bullsnow, still a very cool example .

this is just one of the many sources implicating 13 families which pretty much control the world. I never researched the illuminati either. Rockefeller and Roths are on this list. I am not vouching for this 100% legit or not so, take it however you want..
one of many




-  The Astor Bloodline
-  The Bundy Bloodline
-  The Collins Bloodline
-  The DuPont Bloodline
-  The Freeman Bloodline
-  The Kennedy Bloodline
-  The Li Bloodline
-  The Onassis Bloodline
-  The Reynolds Bloodline
-  The Rockefeller Bloodline
-  The Rothschild Bloodline
-  The Russell Bloodline
-  The Van Duyn Bloodline
-  The Celfious Bloodline

Okay so the last ones made up (so they say)

Celfious - :facepalm:

Yeah.. the article is a totally smart . Perhaps I need to go into the frigging White House, and Kremlin altogether and shout to them that they must to dismiss their armies, their 'special services', their heavy nuclear stuff on patrol , and so on, because the some 'world-dominating-bloodlines' totally controlling the all and not point in such advanced strength and powers for a states .

The 'money-economical stuff' is an important in the case of power, and strength of some particular organization around the world, but it is always will be deep in shadow of the Scientific and Military stuff.

In the article itself I have found a some nonsense about "zombie-brainwashing of Washington D.C. by particular family", this is almost an impossible even in theory.
i.e. the Rotshchilds make a 'brainwashing device' in the Washington itself, and took over control a whole population of the Washington City. For doing this the Rotschilds is need for a Scientists, the Secret Labs, etc. Perhpas they will have 1 or 2 such labs, but Uncle Sam can afford a dozens, a hundreds of the such secret labs for itself, so after a short time this Rotshcilds will be exposed and neutralized - perhaps some military test coincident will happens over the this world-domination bloodline family hamlet



"Oops, that was not a Havaii?!"

I think a very good example it is a N.E.R.V. and S.E.E.L.E in the "Evangelion" pedophilia-braindamaging anime, if the NERV will be took over control by Rotschilds the SEELE will destroy the NERV and the attackers, and vice versa.

I mean diverse, decentralization, continuous evolving, etc. - the factors like this, can make a possibility of 'total control by 1 family over the powerful sate like a Tokyo-3' to become something close to the zero...

My own conclusion about the article: The nonsense, the urban legend for the adults that have nothing to say in the dinning rooms.

I want to find out if any of them believe they are decendants of godly bloodlines. That particular article as well as many other name those 13 families and it does peak my interest. Sorry if it is not true but this is pretty widespread and it holds some rationale even if not all true outside of the facts involved. Thing is I've had interest in some of these families for quite sometime. They do pull strings beyond our awareness, but I never knew they were considered the top of the illuminati hype ive never looked into

There is a lot they are responsible for, but hey thanks for your review ! If I bring more, I'll avoid posting articles that aren't  95% bonifide or more.
