the fact that six publicly traded companies own virtually ALL of America's media shows why we seldom ever get the whole story.

See, the fiduciary responsibility of all the senior producers of the 'news shows' is not truth in reporting, but always and only to generate shareholder profits.

And as we speak, the DOJ seems to be taking a page out of COINTELPRO and actively trying to provoke violence so there can be justification for sending troops in to kill our children and grandchildren - or parents as in the case of the three children left after the murder of Renee Good. Trump et al are doing their level best to justify declaring martial law so that elections can be cancelled indefinitely. I know you are well aware of this and we now walk a very fine line that would be readily apparent to any thoughtful American in 1858.

Because power NEVER, EVER, EVER, EVER concedes anything without being forced.

In the meantime how many on here can say truthfully that we are being taxed federally WITHOUT REPRESENTATION. Because I paid in over $18K in federal taxes last year and what the hell am I getting for my money? We now are living in a third world country and about to enter a steep recession complete with mass layoffs, but without any stimulus because Chicago school guys are in charge and they are getting ready to impose austerity on us. We have only just begun to suffer with Wall Street's boot on our necks.
