Democrats are so desperate for votes that finally admit openly that they are corrupted!


The Deputy Chair of Civic Engagement of the Democratic National Committee (DNC), Frank Spencer, made some stunning admissions during his recent speech at Politicon.

Concerning of what the American people really want, it was like he was discovering a new habitable planet:

We found that a solid majority of Americans wanted universal government-sponsored healthcare, and even almost half of all Republicans did.

A majority wanted stronger unions, again across the political spectrum, especially workers, but everyone.

Two-thirds of Americans wanted tuition free college.

Non-interventionism was very popular. As we know, a number of Trump voters voted that way because of his promises to keep us out of conflicts.

Almost everyone in our survey and in the polls thinks that Wall Street has way too much influence, and many people would said they would get rid of corporate lobbying altogether.

And here comes the better part:

Once we had understood these concerns, that we had failed to address, we began to look at how we could do so in the future. And that's when we realized we couldn't. Our hands were tied, in large part because of our donors (!).

Medicare for all, would be a disaster for the insurance companies and pharmaceutical companies who are very important donors to our party. They loved Obamacare, which, however, did not lower costs. And medicare for all, which would, these companies did not like quite as much.

Strong unions would be horrible for many of our friends in the management community.

The schools that almost all of us hail from, might not take so well to the idea of tuition free colleges, which would bite into some of their profits.

It would be pretty hard for military contractors to give up the four hundred billion dollars that flows their way, in part stimulated by foreign interventions.

And as for preventing corporations from lobbying in government, or providing public financing of the elections, it's hard to imagine that any of our donors who would like that very much.


These are really stunning admissions on behalf of the DNC. Never before the Dems have gone that far to admit, essentially, that they are corrupted! As you will see in the video, Jimmy Dore and the others in The Young Turks didn't buy it. It appears that they support that actually Spencer was not speaking on behalf of DNC and DNC will eventually be forced to deny what Spencer said.

Well, as much as surprising it may sound, maybe not!

Simply because the Democrats understand that they are about to be vanished from the US political map in case that Bernie Sanders form his own political party towards real Socialism. This is probably a desperate last effort to keep their electoral base and attract more voters, especially from the American youth, in order to stay alive and win the 2020 election.

Besides, everyone knows that the Democrats are corrupted and in bed with the bankers and the lobbyists for years, just like the Republicans. So, what more could possibly lose? This could be their last card to play, declaring that they are regretted for their stance in order to persuade voters that they are really willing to bring a radical change in the Democratic party that will make the difference for the first time after decades.

So, at this point, Jimmy Dore is probably right in a sense that this is just another trick of the DNC to regain the lost electoral power. This is probably the ultimate effort to prevent Bernie Sanders from forming a political movement that will become a real threat for the establishment. Once they will get the votes they want, crushing Bernie, they will practically maintain their 'business as usual' functioning. That is whatever their neoliberal donors want: more for-profit wars, even less welfare state, further deregulation in finance and labor sector, more privatizations, etc. In other words, continuation of the same policies towards Feudalism 2.0, as scheduled.

After all, remember what Donald Trump was saying before the elections and what he did right after he got elected. It seems that, indeed, the only salvation for the US right now is the formation of a political movement that will really serve the American people, away from the bipartisan fraud.

In any case, this is a significant turning point for the Democrats, thanks to Bernie Sandrers, but mostly, thanks to the American youth that overwhelmingly supported him. Because it forces Democrats for the first time after decades to declare clearly that they are willing to move further to the Left, abandon big money, serve the majority of the American people, even if they are doing it as a political maneuver to save themselves from extinction.

P.S.: Consider this article also as a prank, but wait until announcements by the Dems ...

Πώς ο Γκρίνμπεργκ μπορεί να θάψει το καθεστώς Μητσοτάκη

του system failure    Είναι ξεκάθαρο ότι η αναμφίβολη πρωτοκαθεδρία του καθεστώτος Μητσοτάκη οφείλεται σχεδόν αποκλειστικά σε μια άκρως επιθετική επικοινωνιακή εκστρατεία που είχε καταφέρει μέχρι στιγμής να κρύβει κάτω από το χαλί (τουλάχιστον ως ένα βαθμό) τον αυταρχισμό και τη διαφθορά του καθεστώτος, καθώς και τις καταστροφικές πολιτικές που εφαρμόζει.  Και δεν είναι πλέον μυστικό, ότι ο άνθρωπος-κλειδί πίσω από αυτή την εκστρατεία είναι ο Αμερικανός δημοσιοσχετίστας, Σταν Γκρίνμπεργκ .    Όμως καθώς το καθεστώς επαναπαύθηκε στις δάφνες της νίκης των τελευταίων βουλευτικών εκλογών, τα μεγάλα προβλήματα συνέχισαν να συσσωρεύονται και φάνηκε ότι το καθεστώς είτε δεν ήθελε, είτε δεν μπόρεσε να τα αντιμετωπίσει. Έτσι, είδαμε σε σύντομο χρονικό διάστημα να έρχονται τα πρώτα σημαντικά πλήγματα στην πρωτοκαθεδρία του, μέσα από τα αποτελέσματα των δημοτικών και περιφερειακών εκλογών. Παρόλα αυτά, η αλαζονεία των καθεστωτικών στελεχών παρέμεινε αμετάβλητη, καθώς θεώρησαν ότι η τραγωδία των Τ

Zionist and US imperialist criminals are about to grab the natural gas off shore Gaza

globinfo freexchange   As the genocide against Palestinians of Gaza is about to be completed with an act of unprecedented brutality by the Zionists and butcher Netanyahu through the bombardment of about 1.4 million civilians in Rafah, it seems that they have already set their next primary goal. Which, in short, is to grab the natural gas resources off shore Gaza, together with their US imperialist buddies whose contribution to the genocide has been undoubtedly critical.     As already reported , in 2007, Hamas came to power and Israel launched an offensive on Gaza Strip, leaving behind 1,400 dead Palestinians, but taking with it the gas fields. Within a year, Israel announced the discovery of the Leviathan natural gas field, which did include Gaza's riches, valued at 453 billion dollars. But Gazans have been denied around 47 billion dollars in revenue. As for Tel Aviv, it's gunning to become a new hub. At that moment in time, that is 2022, Russian oil and gas were sanctioned.

The Shadowy, Intelligence-Linked Group Driving the US Towards War With Iran

"United Against Nuclear Iran does not miss an opportunity to try to bring the United States closer to a military conflict with Iran. And on the other side of the equation, they also have worked very hard to oppose efforts to de-escalate the U.S.-Iran relationship."   by Alan Macleod   Part 7 - A Lesson From History   The history of Iran has been intimately intertwined with the United States since at least 1953 when Washington orchestrated a successful coup against Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh. Mosaddegh had refused U.S. demands to stamp out Communist influences in his country and had nationalized the nation’s oil. The U.S. installed Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi as a puppet ruler. An unpopular and authoritarian ruler, the Shah was overthrown in the Revolution of 1979. Since then, it has become a target for regime change, and its nuclear program is something of an obsession in the West. Often orchestrated by UANI officials while they were in government, the U.S. has carried

Το σκάσιμο της φούσκας Μητσοτάκη με νέα επίσημη χρεοκοπία και οριστικό τέλος της μεταπολίτευσης

του system failure   Τα αποτελέσματα των εκλογών της 25ης Ιουνίου ήταν λίγο-πολύ αναμενόμενα όσον αφορά τις πρώτες θέσεις με βάση και τα αποτελέσματα της πρώτης κάλπης του Μαίου. Αν συμπεριλάβουμε και το ποσοστό της αναμενόμενης αποχής, δεν μας έδωσαν κάποια ιδιαίτερη έκπληξη. Αυτό όμως που φαίνεται να αιφνιδίασε ακόμα και το συστημικό κατεστημένο, είναι η είσοδος των δύο υπερσυντηρητικών, ακροδεξιών κομμάτων Νίκη και Σπαρτιάτες, με το τελευταίο να έχει ξεκάθαρες διασυνδέσεις με τον πρώην Χρυσαυγίτη, Ηλία Κασιδιάρη. Παρά τη μεγάλη νίκη Μητσοτάκη, οι μιντιακοί ινστρούχτορες της καθεστωτικής προπαγάνδας εμφανίστηκαν σε γενικές γραμμές "μουδιασμένοι" και αυτό οφείλεται στο γεγονός ότι το συστημικό κατεστημένο (δηλαδή τα μεγάλα οικονομικά συμφέροντα που ελέγχουν και το σύνολο των μεγάλων ΜΜΕ πανελλαδικής εμβέλειας), πέτυχε μόνο έναν από τους τέσσερις μεγάλους στόχους που είχε θέσει εξ'αρχής. Μιλώντας με ποδοσφαιρικούς όρους, ουσιαστικά έχασε με σκορ 3-1.   Ο μεγάλος στόχος πο

Study Finds Media Giants New York Times, CNN, and Fox News Pushing for US War in Yemen

by Alan Macleod  Part 2 - Biased Reporting MintPress conducted a study of four leading American outlets: The New York Times , CNN, Fox News and NBC News. Together, these outlets often set the agenda for the rest of the media system and could be said to be a reasonable representation of the corporate media spectrum as a whole. Using the search term “Yemen” in the Dow Jones Factiva global news database, the fifteen most recent relevant articles from each outlet were read and studied, giving a total sample of 60 articles. All articles were published in January 2024 or December 2023. The study found the media wildly distorted reality, presenting a skewed picture that aided U.S. imperial ambitions. For one, every article in the study (60 out of 60) used the word “Houthis” rather than “Ansar Allah” to describe the movement which took part in the Yemeni Revolution of 2011 and rose up against the government in 2014, taking control of the capital Sanaa, becoming the new de facto government.
