Voter purges are the history of the United States election system going back to the 1880's when the first set of Jim Crow laws swept the south.

The corporate media is nowhere on this issue. Where is Hilary Clinton on this issue? Why is it Jill Stein who has the courage to force the recounts in the swing states where the exit polls were far off the outcome because of the various and sundry Rethuglican shenanigans?

BTW, Click here for the Palmer report, a journalist like Greg Palast who is actually doing the reporting about the recounts that Jill Stein is forcing. You know the reporting the corporate media cannot seem to care about.

It's because the billionaires have corrupted our institutions and have infiltrated the Democratic party with spineless apparatchiks. They are worried about the reality of low growth in the age of computerized labor replacement, because historically, yearly economic growth more than 2% is an anomaly, and cannot continue unless you marginalize and enslave large swaths of the population. Sooner or later, the current system has to change, but that means the billionaires and their wealthy acolytes have to give up some of their privileges and share the wealth; but a large number of them don't want to do that, so they instead form think tanks and "non-profit" institutions that fund anti-democratic activities, corrupt the political system, and forge democratic elections to ensure the government is populated by their stooges.

The video above gives you insight into how they do this.

Greg Palast: "If you are black american, there is 900% increase that your vote was contested, and thrown away...This is a Jim Crow election, and they don't want that exposed."

Click here to read about the purging of voter registration based upon false linkage of names with felon lists. This is what happened in Florida 2000. It wasn't "hanging chads". It was 56,000 black american voters who showed up to vote only to discover their names were purged from the voter rolls, and then given "provisional" ballots that were never counted; merely because of an outsourced firm that Jeb Bush contracted to loosely associate names on a felon list with voters. Hence, Leroy Williams matched Leroy Ron Williams, Leroy James Williams, and Leroy Earl Williams.

These fuckers are destroying this country and calling it "Making America Great Again."

Here is a video of the current schnanigans called "cross-check".

Bob Fitrakis is an American hero in my opinion. He is not a Democrat. He is a patriot.

Note:After the first two sentences, the following quote is paraphrased.

"We should vote with a paper and a pencil. We should have a voting holiday. We should count all ballots by hand and remove the computers just like they do with the other 46 democracies in the world. We should not have private corporations with proprietary software run our elections and our election registration systems. We should not allow private corporations to secretly program our elections, and that's what they do."

I love this man. Back during the Bush years he was the voice of reason and resistance against the obvious treasonous incompetency. He nails it every single time.

Look at that 2016 red line that is far far below the norm for this time of year. That means that global warming is accelerating to the point of no return.

And just in case you didn't know, when a process is exponential, it means that the environment has become permeated with whatever phenomenon it is that is causing that event. Exponential cancer rates means the environment is producing entities that cause cancer. Linear growth and Exponential growth are different in this regard, so when you get exponential growth and hide your head in the sand watching bullshit artists tell you to not believe your lying eyes ... you get a catastrophe.

Post Election Blues

There is no revolution by the ballot box
The TV persona’s will tell you that
but really they just describe the status quo
through the whispers of what their bosses say
and those who listen think they are getting an independent opinion
but the mass mailing that come to your mailbox
are not paid for by working people
they are not crafted by the struggle of day to day existence
they are worded carefully in order to manipulate the minds of the weak
to make the middle class think the rich care about their welfare
rather than exploiting them so they can have gold bathrooms
and 3 private jets
and they spend money on liars to pretend they have a soul.
So you fools who think you stuck it to the establishment by voting for a spoiled rotten rich kid
are getting a knife in the back instead
you are getting corporate lawyers sending test case after test case to the supreme court
in order to take away the rights of the people
so that corporations can rape you at will
and one day you might discover that what you think is your money and bank account
is just a ruse
because you don’t understand economics and think the banking syndicate cares about it’s customers.
This is not simple math and free market competition.
This is aggregate wealth disguised behind corporate slogans and crafty laws written
by sociopaths and dressed up by merlins who wear temporary costumes
and then send their hired private police forces to shoot you down when you finally discover the truth
that the vast majority of the super rich don’t care about you when they shake your hand and smile
when they buy advertisements that appeal to your primal nature and tell you that you too
can fuck over other people and become super wealthy
and you will believe this like a true zealot until you die
with the headphones screaming into your ears as you walk by the other lost souls on the street.

I was speaking with a younger girl I have known for maybe 5 years now. She is half my age and we have always gotten along, another of a plethora of platonic friendships I have had since I was 10 years old. She was telling me about her issues with men and relationships and with me being 47 and her being 23, the conversation was more of a mentor to a student than anything else. I see her as a little sister and genuinely care for her because I see a lot of goodness in her that she probably doesn't see in herself. A lot of young women carry this insecurity of their worthlessness when they come up and like we were talking about, it creates it's own feedback mechanism. You get the idea that you are unworthy and so you settle for those who are less worthy. You seek out that which you expect in order to confirm your own lowered expectations, and repeat.

Or as I told her before we parted ..

You buy the lie because the truth hurts.

Our perception of life is a dream of a dream in a dream where we actually exist.

I regularly go to the Bottom of the Hill Club at 1233 17th St, San Francisco, CA 94107. It's my favorite club in the city with Ireland 32 being a close second. There was a band called Blackwülf that is really good in my opinion. There were 3 other bands but Blackwülf is the band I wanted to see. I bought a T-Shirt too.

However that is not why I am composing this essay. It was an interesting night mingling with various persons and I thought writing about the events would be either edifying, or at least worth the effort.

It all started when I parked my car on 17th after driving down 8th Street,driving around the circle where Townsend ends to what Google calls "Henry Adams" but what San Franciscan's probably call Kansas, because that's what the street was originally named until the city decided to pay homage to Henry Adams for 2 blocks. Is this because there is a huge non-profit warehouse one block over on Rhode Island Street called San Francisco Center for the Book which is about the "arts and craft" of making books?

No. Henry Adams is the son of John Adams who has his name attached to the City College Campus at 1860 Hayes Street (originally it was Lowell High School). Apparently Henry Adams was the Brains Behind the Design Center that is adjacent to the two blocks of the street name change. Another in a long line of scions from the famed Boston Adams family, Henry was instrumental in changing the industrial wasteland that existed between Market and Potrero Hill by buying up the property and changing the landscape. The area used to be the extension of an iron works complex in the early to mid 1900's called Union Iron Works. It was abandoned much like the Cattle stock yards of South Chicago were abandoned.

This building is called the Design Center

But I have to finish this later because I have some school work to do. There is more to the story. Lots more.

To be continued when I have more time.
