Why Is the Progressive Left Helping the Elite Elect Hillary?

Guest Post by Paul Craig Roberts

Have you noticed that it is not only the presstitute media and the two establishment political parties that are beating up on Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump but also the progressive left? Sometimes the messages overlap so much that the progressive left sounds like the One Percent. But mainly the progressive left is down on Sanders because he is “not pure,” and they don’t like Trump because he hurts people’s feelings and doesn’t apologize.

This is astounding. Here we are faced with the corrupt media and the corrupt party establishments determined to put in the Oval Office a tried and proven agent of the One Percent, and the progressive left is beating up on the only two alternatives!

I doubt that Sanders or Trump would be able to achieve much for the American people except to reduce the flow of official lies that the presstitutes turn into truths by constant repetition. The Oligarchy is too strong. It was more than a half century ago that President Eisenhower warned us of the threat to American democracy from the military-security complex. That complex is much stronger today, and, in addition, we have Wall Street and the mega-banks that control the US Treasury and Federal Reserve, the Israel Lobby that has the US Congress wrapped around its little finger, the extractive industries (energy, mining, timber) that prevails over the environment and preservation, and agra-business that poisons our food, exterminates honey bees and butterflies and produces chemical fertilizer runoff into waters that result in massive fish kills from algea blooms. None of these powerful interests will permit the welfare of the American people to get in the way of their agendas and profits.

Nevertheless, the election of Sanders or Trump is important, because it demonstrates that American citizens are emerging from The Matrix and have no confidence in the two corrupt political parties that betrayed them. The message would go out to the world as well that the American people have no confidence in the Washington Establishment. These messages are very important and can only have beneficial effects.

So why is the progressive left helping the One Percent keep the lid on the rest of us? Has the progressive left sold out or is the progressive left putting its emotional needs above the general welfare?

Could it be because the progressive left represents the same gaggle of thieves that the neocon right does?

Trump is ripping the ZOG Temple’s Holy of Holies Curtain right down the middle and exposing Masonic-Illuminati controls from the Federal Reserve to Congress to the MSM and businesses on down to the local county Republican Party Machines running counties that Trump won in the Primary Elections but are sending county anti-Trump Delegates to the State Delegate Selection Conventions. Web site after site that I thought was Conservative is being exposed as the NWO’s Controlled Opposition. Hosea 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. We The People are being trapped in a NWO net like sardines. There is one escape (other than The Lord of course) and that is the hole Trump is ripping in their asses and the NWO is trying desperately to close.

The commies will never give up, but many sheeple are starting
to be a bit more alert. Alert, and even listening and gradually
starting to “get it.” That is a good thing. BTW, where are the
Bill Ayers types when we need them? You know, to raise a little
dust.

If you ever look at the history of presidents either R’s or D’s that have occupied the white house since 1900, it’s pretty well even in number of years.

This should be the R year, really doubt that R will be Trump though.

Or maybe all those “progressives” want an evil totalitarian state, because that’s their personal nature, and they recognize her as most likely to deliver it?

People make all these claims about ideologies, but in the end it’s mostly just the will to power. Killary, the shape-shifting spineless weasel slimebag, has no genuine ideology, just “more – MORE – MORE!!!!!” Basically a psychopath who uses other people to kill for her.

I gave it some thought I came to a startling conclusion: a coup has occurred before our eyes. Take a moment and consider the following:

Obama (and soon Hillary) has run interference and created dissent among people throughout the land: blacks vs. whites, men vs. women, heterosexuals vs. homosexuals, citizens vs. non-citizens, rich vs. poor, people of faith vs. the secular, conservatives vs. liberals, etc. The irony should not be lost that employers are explicitly forbidden to discriminate against those categories. As a society that loves a good underdog, they knowingly stir dissent by taking a stand against the majority on social issues by championing the cause of, among others, black lives matter, the LGBT movement, and the right to have abortion on demand.

All the while, they’re getting the people of the country who actually pay taxes to pay for housing, education, healthcare, disability, government jobs, unemployment, food stamps, cell phones, welfare, retirement, and a military who few would DARE to criticize openly. A class of perpetual parasites has been created to support the politicians’ power structure. We’re watching in real time as this quickly kills the host while the perverts peddle their putrid policies.

The collapse has already taken place. This is the fall out.

The progressive left is controlled by the Zionists and a great deal of the elite are joos. The goal is a communist world government. “Progressive” is and has always been code for communist.

Trump has shown that he will give the Zionists a blow job when expected. I see no way to avoid a totalitarian hard shift to the left when Hitlery is installed.

Just remember the progressive left and the elites bought Hitlery a multi-million dollar home in the Hamptons and set her up in NY to become a bonafide elected politician so she could be presidential material down the road. This is not a new process for Hill.

““Progressive” is and has always been code for communist.”

As long as you realize “communist” has always meant “some animals are more equal than others” in the Animal Farm example.

As far as I can tell, only China and Vietnam ever attempted something resembling actual communism as the theory describes it – or for that matter even universal socialism – and they both abandoned it in practice, if not name, very quickly upon realizing what a disaster it was. The other “communist” countries like the USSR, East Germany, North Korea, etc. never made any real attempt at actual socialism, they merely used the ideology as window dressing to enforce a totalitarian state for the benefit of a group of total scum-sucking assholes whose only skill is destroying a previous government. In the USSR it takes very little research to figure out who most of those assholes were. In the other regimes it varies but was basically local criminals who would otherwise be running some sort of mafia racket.

PCR posits a perplexing question but provides no answer. Maybe it’s the simplest of motives: fear & greed. And for the same reason why most tolerate government, that is at the margin, the benefits outweigh the costs, even if an electron microscope is needed to make the measurement.

I thought you all might find this interesting after the “Hitlery Thinks We Have Too Many Guns” thread.
Her offspring also needs to STFU .

Only the left is interested in disarming the population.

For those who don’t understand that “progressive” is code for commie, please take a look at his article:

Dr. Paul Craig Roberts asks very important questions but does not provide an answer:

“So why is the progressive left helping the One Percent keep the lid on the rest of us? Has the progressive left sold out or is the progressive left putting its emotional needs above the general welfare?”

The answer in my humble opinion is the “progressive left” (better known as the regressive left) is a fraud created by the 1% to deceive Americans, Socialism or progressive leftism never was about helping the poor and downtrodden, although that is how it was sold to the masses, but about concentrating power in central government and using this power to corrupt and enslave the American people. That explains why just about every subversive movement of the 20th and 21th centuries – international socialism (communism and Bolshevism), national socialism, “democratic” socialism, neo-conservatism, feminism, central and fractional-reserve banking, globalism, MSM, international govermental organizations (e.g. UN, WTO, IMF, etc.) was funded by the Rockefellers, Rothschilds, other international bankers and global corporations.

And the evidence is provided by Dr. Anthony Sutton who is the author of several books while a scholar at the Hoover Institute documenting the role of bankers and large corporations in funding National Socialism in Germany and Bolshevism in Russia.

Wall Street and the Bolshevik Revolution: The Remarkable True Story of the American Capitalists Who Financed the…by Antony C. Sutton

Wall Street and the Rise of Hitler by Antony C. Sutton

Antony Cyril Sutton (February 14, 1925 – June 17, 2002) was a British and American economist, historian, and writer. Sutton studied at the universities of London, Göttingen, and California, and received his D.Sc. from the University of Southampton. He was an economics professor at California State University, Los Angeles and a research fellow at Stanford University’s Hoover Institution from 1968 to 1973. During his time at the Hoover Institution, he wrote the major study Western Technology and Soviet Economic Development (in three volumes), arguing that the West played a major role in developing the Soviet Union from its very beginnings up until the present time (1970). Sutton argued that the Soviet Union’s technological and manufacturing base – which was then engaged in supplying the Viet Cong – was built by United States corporations and largely funded by US taxpayers. Steel and iron plants, the GAZ automobile factory – a Ford subsidiary, located in eastern Russia – and many other Soviet industrial enterprises were built with the help or technical assistance of the United States or US corporations. He argued further that the Soviet Union’s acquisition of MIRV technology was made possible by receiving (from US sources) machining equipment for the manufacture of precision ball bearings, necessary to mass-produce MIRV-enabled missiles.

Why do they do it? Marxicrats are hypocrites, That’s why. Hillary’s slogan is that she’s “Fighting for US” Total BS. Only the illiterate, brainless believe it.
