For people who might not have followed the story as it unfolded there’s an easier explanation for why Iran is holding Jason Rezaian.   The underpinning is Iran knowing the U.S. State Department and CNN collaborate to use media as a tool to advance U.S. foreign policy objectives.

In December 2014 CNN ran and episode of Anthony Bourdain Parts Unknown filmed in Iran. It seemed innocuous at the time, yet as with all things Turner Broadcasting, it also seemed to be another set up for a larger political agenda item. (more…)

“Polarizing” is a descriptive term used by a pontificating media to disparage various elements they find antithetical to their own worldview.  Generally, when the term is used it is wrongly assigned. However, in the case of Ted Cruz it’s unfortunately accurate.

When Jason Johnson sits down to discuss his pathway to the nomination with George Will, it says more about Jason Johnson than it does about those who read Will’s opinion of the aforementioned pathway.  What it essentially says is there’s a need to affirm something that isn’t factually supported by any measure of quantifiable empirical evidence.

However, when you look at the recent CBS survey result (discussed here) what you’ll identify is half of the Ted Cruz supporters themselves state they don’t think he is electable.  Hence, you find the motive for Cruz Campaign Strategist Mr. Jason Johnson to give the outline; fraught with intellectual dishonesty though it may be.

Yes, 10% of the Republican Primary Voters hold ‘most-favorable-status’ opinion of Ted Cruz, yet the number evaporates to 5% when asked “can he win”?  Ergo the Cruz dilemma.

The expressed “Cruz pathway” carries numerous contingencies requiring an electorate to travel with the Cruz team on faith alone.  And yes, that’s an intended double entendre, because faith is the underlying element of the entire campaign.  (Insert first alarm bell here). (more…)

The GOPe DC apparatchik (writ large) are all-in with their demands to support Representative Paul Ryan as the next Speaker of the House (SoH).

Freedom Caucus Chairman Jim Jordan appeared on Fox News Sunday to outline what the problems are, and it has less to do with Paul Ryan “the Speaker” – and more to do with removing the GOPe stranglehold; ie. the GOPe demand on the apparatus of power.

Jim Jordan articulates the problem. The essence of the problem is what the media and GOPe want to hide.

Within those rules Jordan is describing you find out why so many of the House of Representatives are frustrated with a UniParty leadership team that demands compliance to a regime interest that remains antithetical to the desires of the electorate who sent them there.

The GOPe leadership (Boehner, McCarthy, McConnell, Cornyn) are beholden to Wall Street, The U.S. Chamber of Commerce and K-Street, they refuse to be beholden to the will of the electorate. (more…)

The latest New Hampshire poll shows a far more engaged electorate continuing to be a thorn in the side of the 2015/16 GOPe scheme to anoint Jeb Bush. In addition, the ruse candidates, Fiorina and Rubio have exhausted their media-fueled surge and remain static alongside Jeb Bush at 8%.

John Kasich’s ground game and almost exclusive attention to New Hampshire has garnered him a position just above Jeb, Carly and Marco. However, the vulgarians are determined to Make America Great Again!

Gravis Marketing, a nonpartisan research firm, conducted a random survey of 1,035 registered voters in New Hampshire regarding the presidential election and other areas. The poll was conducted October 5-6, 2015. The sample includes 662 Republicans, 373 Democrats, and the remainder not planning on participating in the primary, but are planning to vote in the regular elections. The poll has a margin of error of ± 3.1% [3.8% for Republican Caucus/5.1% for Democratic Caucus]. (link)

Yes citizen, the Stazi have now been officially activated.  Thought criminals are a danger to the stability of the regime and uniparty.  The rebellious members of the freedom insurgency shall be tracked, hunted and punished.

 

WASHINGTON DC – The Department of Homeland Security has launched an investigation into reports that someone with a DHS IP address edited Wikipedia pages to include references to an alleged affair involving House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, who bowed out of the race for speaker Thursday.

The California Republican stunned the conference with his decision, saying the House needs a “fresh face” to lead and suggesting he could not unite conservatives.

But reports of infidelity on conservative websites hung over the decision, and were cited in apparent revisions to Wikipedia pages.  (more…)

According to information gleaned within a letter sent from Benghazi Select Committee on Benghazi Chairman Rep Trey Gowdy, to minority Co-Chair Rep Elijah Cummings, there is substantive information now proving Secretary Hillary Clinton took specific actions in Libya to benefit the business interests of her friend Sidney Blumenthal.

I highly doubt this goes unnoticed by the media:

It appears Murdoch was trying to provide an assist to Fox News larger political objectives , by defending Ben Carson (amid current controversy) and promoting the Carsons’ interview with Murdoch’s princess Megyn Kelly (below).  However, the content of this comment appears targeted to disparage President Obama. (more…)

There is a lot of talk from the White House of President Obama vetoing this bill.

WASHINGTON DC – Senate Democrats on Wednesday joined with Republicans to approve an annual defense bill, defying a veto threat from President Obama.

The Senate voted 70-27 in favor of the $612 billion National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), a wide-ranging measure that would set policy and spending priorities for the Pentagon. Twenty Democrats voted yes, as did Sen. Angus King (Maine), an Independent who caucuses with Democrats.

While the vote total would be enough for Republicans to override Obama’s promised veto, Democratic leaders insist that some of their members would vote differently if asked to override the president. (more…)

To fully understand the scope of the aligned forces against both Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders a person only needs to read the latest data release, and accompanying narrative, from Quinnipiac polling

.

Donald Trump ~ Bernie Sanders

It is my hope that Democrats, Republicans and Independents can pause the “us -vs- them” activity for a moment, take a breath, look around and recognize we are all seemingly inside a manufactured political maze.  Then, perhaps contemplate just how controlled this entire fiasco is.

As we have previously stated there are trillions of dollars, and immense national and global power interests, at play within this election.  As each week passes, and absent of Wall Street gaining safety in their preferred outcome, the rabid control mechanisms are pushed into overdrive to tame the vulgarians on both sides of the political spectrum.

Exhibit A – The latest dose of reality comes in the form of the accompanying script within Quinnipiac polling as they release the data from “primary election” surveys conducted in Florida, Ohio and Pennsylvania – September 25th through October 5th. (more…)

The latest round of attacks aimed toward Donald Trump can only reasonably be considered divinely inspired fails.

OMG Donald Trump Supports Eminent Domain!!

[ *NOTE* Watch closely who picks up on this attack approach and you’ll identify an even larger number of the GOPe deceivers than were visible before. ]
Brett Baier interviewed Donald Trump for his Fox News Special Report segment and carried with him a specifically pre-framed angle of attack, an agenda.  Baier used the Club for Growth argument (see video: @3:34) for conversation about Eminent Domain.

Of course Eminent Domain is wonderful, it goes without saying.
It is not even a reasonable argument to state otherwise. Eminent Domain is expressly written into the 5th Amendment of the U.S. constitution because without the ability of government to control property use, institute easements and take ownership of land parcels there would be complete chaos.
