The two pictured above really did steal to obtain their wealth!

Bernie’s family members are being looked at for pocketing $12 million or more taken as “advertising placement commissions.” My limited understanding is that the campaign management folks are paid a percentage of the money spent on advertising. Bernie’s family has assumed the role of placing ads and thereby pocket millions from the donations.
We have all heard of how every Biden relative has received huge government contracts in areas where they lack any experience.

The way it works is, ad agencies get a 15% discount on Radio and Television purchases. The agency charges the client full boat and pockets the difference. It’s not stealing, but I think Bernie’s sister runs the “agency” out of her house. Nothing weird about that except for the family connection.

Scary but not as scary as the thought that millions of Americans think either one would be a good choice.

The picture on the right needs to be retaken: the subject needs to be wagging his finger at the camera with spittle running down his chin.

The subject on the left would be just as appealing if he were showing us the backside of his head.

That is a typical “Controlled Definition” of the Establishment and BOTH should be flushed down a toilet. The Establishment’s positions of pro-abortion, pro-homosex, anti-2nd Amend, anti-1st Amend, pro-war, pro-open border, pro-perversions, pro-discrimination, pro-socialism don’t seem Moderate to me…The Establishment is Leftist and the majority of Americans are Conservative. F the Establishment .

I enjoy watching folks that are SURE the media has been lying constantly for years subconsciously listening to the media and singing along anyway. Ha ha. It’s amazing effective, the illusion.

Here’s how it works in my head: I listen to FOX, and Trump, and MSNBC, and CNN, and I notice what they say in parallel, what they say almost as opposite sides of the same story. I assume only this stuff is intended to have effect, and everything else is probably BS.

Right now, both sides are singing the same song, almost to a stanza. FOX is singing about how Bernie is about to be screwed just like last year by the DNC, to sow division and distrust of the DNC on the ‘left’ in America.

At the same time, MSNBC/CNN is pushing hard the narrative that Biden is the only one who can beat Trump, while at the same time purposefully ignoring his years of shady deals, profiteering, and sexist creepy behavior to the shagrin of everyone aware of these thing, left or right.

They are also pushing the idea that Bernie’s campaign folks are nasty online. They are also pushing the idea that Bernie is a communist, etc. They are also pushing the idea that Bernie just yells, and he has no plans for how to pay for stuff, etc. (Never mind that we can find trillions of dollars at the drop of a hat for a new jet fighter already obsolete years ago. The F1.)

But where is Biden? How come he’s just dropped out of the live coverage on TV? How come he’s not doing interviews? How come you don’t get to see him speak? Bernie spoke for more than 60 minutes to crowds of +15K in Chicago and Flint MI this weekend (both on SATURDAY!), but these did not appear on TV. Why not? If you pay attention, you can see in plain sight they are doing everything they can to imply that Bernie divides the country and cannot unite it. He’s old and unfit and angry. But where’s Biden’s stump speech coverage? There is none because he can’t speak at the moment. Google it.

At the same time, they are not talking about what Bernie wants to do AT ALL. Never talking about what he wants to do, just implying “everything he wants to do” is too expensive. These are the same talking heads that didn’t care that the latest tax cut gave trillions to corporations and ultra rich folks, and our tax cuts will be rolled back completely over the next eight years. Where is that in the news? They don’t want to you remember that, so they only said it once or twice before the passing of the bill. Since, nada.

I see they are doing everything they can to get the “left” to choose Biden for sure, 100% every presentation is bent on this.

Why? So folks like you remain vulnerable to the idea that Bernie and his ideas are awful without knowing a goddamn thing about what he wants to do at all.

Trump will continue to tell you he’s brilliant, and that he’s doing so much for you and us. But he isn’t any better than Obama was for us. Just like Obama, he’s dumping money into war, dumping money into business subsidies and tax cuts, and he’s giving in to every major big money interest including the banks. He’s unregulated our water and wild places. He’s opened our environment up to corporate dumping and plunder.

They will NEVER let you vote for Bernie. NO WAY EVER will BERNIE be the nominee for the Demoncrats. NEVER. So you can stop panicking. That’s what they want you to do. Panick over a ghost. Bernie will take away everything and we’ll all starve. Even the Right wants the Left to Choose Biden…that’s how effective the treatment is.

But they are having trouble with this at the moment. The youth are really rallying around Bernie, as are many who were there in 2016. It’s getting harder to use just TV ads to influence folks under 40. And if they aren’t able to manufacture the consent for Biden…and Bernie’s the only one standing, they have a huge problem on their hands.

WHY?

He’s pro-Union. You know, the kind that kept wages up and fought for workers’ rights in America throughout our history. You have to be pretty brainwashed by TV to think Unions are nasty…but I bet many folks reading this default to that assumption. Yikes. Neither sides wants us to remember that Unions work for workers. No one wants that.

Bernie’s pro-Universal Health care? Why? Not because he wants to give your money to poor people. Because as it stands right now, we are a captive population of sheep that BigPharm is making as much profit from as possible using any means necessary to extract more. Opiods, insulin, vaccines…all the deregulation of these industries and their culpabilty in the face of malfescence was all but eliminated long ago. We are talking nearly 100 billion in barely taxed and often subsidized profit per year folks. Forgetaboutit.

He wants Public Schools to be good again. Remember when you were in High School and you actually looked up to your teachers? I had the same teachers for History and Math that my father did in WI going up. They coached me in football and hoops. They taught beyond the requirements, not up and to them. They taught what they thought was best in the way they thought best, treated like professionals. The beauty of our public school system has been ruined by successively underfunding it starting way back with Clinton…Bush…Obama…Now Trump.

He wants to take big money out of politics. He wants to tax Amazon and the 100+ other multinationals that pay zero income tax. He wants to reduce the profits of the banks, Big pharma, corporate agriculture, and big oil. Don’t we all want these things?

3 people own more than the bottom 125 million in America (you likely being in that bottom 125m if you are reading this), and you think that is from hard work? Bootstrap myth shit?

You think these folks are working so much harder than you that they have 1000x 10million more money that you will ever touch in your lifetime?

Com’on! Wake up. You are as brainwashed as the “left” if you think Bernie is establishment. Bernie has been in politics for a long time, yes. And he’s been an outcast in politics for most of those years because he fights for things other folks don’t. He’s spoken out again Mid East wars for years. He’s spoken out again Israel and our subsidizing of their weapons program for years. He’s spoken out about our treatment of veterans and the mentally ill for years and years.

Bernie wants to change many things that we conspriracy buffs all agree need changing.
TRUMP JUST WANTS A MEMBERSHIPT TO THEIR CLUB.
BIDEN IS A CARD CARRYING MEMBER FROM YEARS BACK.
OBAMA IS A BOARD MEMBER.
MITCH MCCONNELL IS A BOARD MEMBER.

But you don’t need to worry about this at all.

And mark my words, that will NEVER happen. NEVER ever ever.

The establishment will kill Bernie before he’s president. And if Biden doesn’t get his shit together, you can bet Bernie will eventually be shot.

You heard it here first, folks. Checkmate.

It’s not a pro-Bernie rant, so much as a wake up and smell the coffee rant.

We love to gripe about the media, and the illusion, and the controllers. But if you are still buying their hypnosis, hook line and sinker and don’t know it…you need help. I might be that help. Or maybe everyone will just ignore me now.

But nobody else here sees that the only one no one on TV wants to win is Bernie? Really? I find it shocking they are being so transparent, and exaggerating about him so much. Even the ‘left’ media sees him as the devil incarnate. Why doesn’t this strike you as odd, unless you are just as guilty of letting the media sell you a story as the rest of them are? Maybe you are more spellbound than you thought?

Are you paying attention to how the NWO tried to hoist a Gay man on us who was coached by Obama and his team, and America almost bit?! Do you think Pete actually served in the Mid East? Stunt, plain and simple. Mayor of South Bend? Please. Don’t you think this is still part of the plan? Joe and Pete was my call months ago already. Then what? Warren is just trying to get as much as she can out of endorsing Joe. She won’t endorse Bernie because he is outside their system of control, and she can gain nothing from that in the future. Just watch the puppets dance.

Since Bernie was on FOX and got a standing ovation, he hasn’t been on TV much. Google that appearance.

If nobody else sees Trump for the wannabe Ruling Class card carrying clown he is, that would be surprising for such a ‘woke’ bunch of old folks. Most Christian folks here in PA are pretty disappointed with what seems to be nothing more than a reality TV show where he’s the director and star. My neighbors voted for him as well, but they won’t this year. They don’t want to vote for Biden any more than we wanted to vote for Hillary. So most will stay home, I’d bet.

The reality is, I voted for Trump. I voted to throw a wrench in the mix. I hoped he’d be able to expose some of the corruption on both sides.

Instead, it seems he saw it as a way to enrich himself and his family while also prying open the door to the Ruling Class of the New World Order.

Hate to break it to you, but the NWO is all but here already long ago. The celebration and coming out party is all that’s really left. All the laws have been passed.

That Door is a door Donald’s father also fought to open for himself and failed. You all should know that. It’s all been published by himself and others. That’s what allowed the system to so easily use our Champion to benefit itself. They had what he wanted. And now that he’s got what he’s always wanted, he’s absolutely fine with never looking back. Same as every single one of those before him.

The Truth will definitely come for him. He is no Christian by my heart. Although that is not for me to judge, it is how my heart settles after much prayer and retrospection.

I wish you all could have the opportunity to pray with Trump. To have him lead you in prayer, so you could try imagine hearing his words as Christ’s own words. Congruent, or not?

Christ is Hope. Goodness. Peace. Laughter. A gentle smile for a lost soul. Trump is none of these for anyone, even himself. Pray about this, and let your heart and the Lord answer.

The New World Order is here, and the announcement will happen soon. As far as reasonable recent history, it’s been more than 200 years in the making, folks. We are lucky this stuff is happening in our lifetime. In the coming times, I hope you all have good neighbors with whom you can work together and care for one another.

The Truth is no longer available on T.V..

And seriously, don’t worry about Bernie. Even if, and that is a huge IF, he gets their nomination, the Ruling Class will never let him win. Elections are controlled to the extent to which only landslides are hard to swing. The combination of low key election fraud, voter machine control, voter suppression, and the main stream media narrative are more than sufficient to control a many times divided populations of poor folks.

And if he does win a landslide, they’ll kill him, call it a heart-attack, and install his establishment VP, Liz Warren.

(Of course, if Bernie really wasn’t controlled by the Ruling Class, he’d pick Tulsi, ha ha!)

JC….

I may have misled you a bit, in that I’m nothing but a newbie type around here, too. A couple of years, maybe.

When you step out from behind the microscope, we are on more than equal ground.

“The reality is, I voted for Trump. I voted to throw a wrench in the mix. I hoped he’d be able to expose some of the corruption on both sides.”

Me too….first time since the mid seventies. Pulling the lever even while thinking we were being duped by the ‘hope and change’ promised….and on election night he went from “lock her up” to “they’re good people”…and “we owe her a debt of gratitude”

And the Hegelian dialectic served up by TLPTB was obvious, Trump was a continuation in the quest to achieve a new order for the ages….

“Christ is Hope. Goodness. Peace. Laughter. A gentle smile for a lost soul.”

Sounds a little ‘new age’ to me. He is the Alpha and the Omega, the Lion of the Tribe of Judah, the Author and the Finisher, the Only Begotten Son of the “I AM THAT I AM”……

J.C. I am pulling these two block quotes from your rant. When the next ride posts, I am going to ask Admin to post your “Bike Ride” (and I want you to determine the title, not me) and disassociate myself and, as they say, let the cheese stand alone.

However, fwiw? I will mirror the post to a couple other places and if we need to, we will change the backdrop and keep on sharing.

But nobody else here sees that the only one no one on TV wants to win is Bernie? Really? I find it shocking they are being so transparent, and exaggerating about him so much. Even the ‘left’ media sees him as the devil incarnate.

I see it, J.C. about a year ago, I started researching 5G and it led me to a guy out in the desert taking pictures of odd things in the sky. That led me to H2H which led me to you. The media is also controlled by a version of the Bloomberg Terminal, people must realize. There is a firm rule in “journalism” about getting news “leads.”

Get it FIRST but get it from someone else who knows about it and then, get it FIRST.

Grumpy old editors know what it means.

J.C., you said something during your short review of the 11 papers yesterday. I hope you will correct me if I interpreted wrong: “Even factual data stored in human memory has subjective filters applied… perspective and background experience form the brains ability to interpret that information.” That’s a rough paraphrase, not a quote.

How do you think the brain does that without even being told to do it?

Bernie Sanders frightens people because he is the elephant in the room. He is suggesting there is something so terrible about the gridlock going on at high levels of our government that we need to do like the Russians did and kill the Tsars and take over the means of production and distribution. Bernie is the elephant because he is right about the gridlock and he is right that a complete paradigm shift needs to happen. Yes, I think they will kill him if they have to.

Some people here at TBP do not seem to know how to skip over a comment they are not interested in. It is why it sometimes becomes a Monkey pit here in the comment streams. I’ve tried to clear the way for you to come in as a pre-approved opinion worthy of being heard. But, they will still throw turds at you and I hope you just ignore them.

Time is running out. In fact, it may have run out.

I haven’t had feedback from the TBP Big Boss on your stuff, but I’ve got good feedback from a few others. I think you are a welcome addition, but if not? leave TBP as part of the title, I can promote The Bootheel Platform and mirror you from there and we won’t skip a beat. How are your numbers on your page?

You just keep on riding and teaching because I can tell when someone knows what they are talking about. Thank you for the effort.

Personally, I think your approach is the missing link between Millennials and Boomers: A Gen X teacher who speaks the language of both generations riding a bike and telling us what he thinks and knows. Boomers should realize they need to listen to the transitional generation. That transitional Generation, like it or not, is Gen X.

Is fine, J.C.

You may have said Bernie will eventually be shot but you can bet someone here has said he should be, although I can’t name names.

J.C., I watched your bike ride yesterday and actually understood a bit of it… I shared it to my Bootheel page so if some weirdo pops on and asks you if you need help shooting those neurons with a Winchester, it’s probably one of my hillbilly friends.

Brain circuitry intrigues me. I like schematics. The brain is just a different sort of network and more than half of it is not used.

Or is it?
