We have seen the corrupting influence of lobbyist money upon our political system. This is nothing new and was warned about by our Founding Father James Madison. He feared factions could destroy democracy. It is time for us to heed his warning. 1)
James Madison in Federalist No. 10 shared that the only way to deal with factions united by common interest adverse to the rights of others (what we call lobbyists today) is to know their causes and remove them and to control their effects. 2)
See. The Federalist No. 10 written by Founding Father James Madison

VERY SIMPLE REALLY.

John Kerry apprises the Iranian Government that they should ignore Trump because he will be gone soon
1) #Iran #Kerry #Obama
— and Iran sees what CNN says — and they push harder, an attack on the US Embassy, the killing of an American. After all, why not. America gave in and pandered to their threats for 8 years under Obama and Kerry is telling them to keep going. 2)
And Barack Obama is busy telling the Europeans that “don’t worry about Trump. He’ll be gone soon”, so they slow down their payments to NATO and slow down any trade negotiations to wait out Trump. 3)

and I stand up for Jews because a long time ago I saw where the extreme bigotry of the left was leading. You would think people would thank someone who sees ahead but they don't, usually we are mocked instead. 2)
We are on the cusp of something horrific. people are always raising money on slogans like " Never again" and "fightin nazis" but when push comes to shove, they look the other way. the numbers of these attacks on Jews is out of hand, 3)

And the need to Define, Understand, and Cleanse

I’m not going to rewrite the story of Hanukah. You can find that everywhere stories of differing historical depth and detail.

The Jews who objected 2 the aggressiveness of the Greek-Syrian regime in its attempts to destroy Judaism & objected to the tactics of those upper-class Jews who collaborated a/the regime against the culture & beliefs of their own people rose up & fought 4 what they believed & won
Their victory inspires Jewish youth today, but for most of the 2000 years of exile, this was not always the case. The Book of Maccabees was excluded from the Tanakh by our Sages lest it inflames Jewish youth & endangers their Jewish communities....3) #Maccabbees

My 116 favorite quotes from Money: Sound and Unsound, by Joseph.T. Salerno (2015)
@jtsale @mises #AustrianEconomics #SoundMoney
1. “The idea of sound #money was present from the very beginning of modern monetary theory in the works of the 16th-century Spanish #Scholastics who argued against debasement of the coinage by the king on ethical and economic grounds”
J.T.Salerno
2. “It was #Fisher and not #Keynes who was the true founder of modern macroeconomics with its aggregative reasoning and its central notion of politically managed fiat money”

Thread: The Political Class in Action

1. On Wednesday, San Fran Nan ambushed @POTUS before the “infrastructure summit” by accusing him of a “cover-up.” This episode is a feature not a bug of the US political system.
2. Here is what the woman said:

3. While briefly speaking to reporters on Wednesday, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) weighed in on allegations of wrongdoing by President Donald Trump and went as far as accusing Trump of engaging in a “cover-up.”

At dinner, I learned more about corruption + racism built into society by our masters. A book we discussed (Zinn) was used as part of this "Left" resource's bibliography. I had to share. [A thread]

@BlackSocialists - thoughts on this resource?

historyisaweapon.com/indextrue.html
It very simply lays out the case that we are all being controlled. It covers hidden history of the United States including their (and, due to the systems created by our masters, our) racism.

If you haven't been in school for a while (or are in a terrible school), some of the words might trip you up. Dictionary.com and Wikipedia.org are two good resources to help you.

Prediction: a huge class action lawsuit by influencers banned or demonetized by social networks will lead to recognizing & protecting:
- accounts as personal property
- posts as free speech

The more livelihoods depend on social influence, the likelier this becomes.
To be featured in this class action lawsuit:

Shadow banning

There are several legal precedents for this:
1) malls are regulated as public spaces and must protect speech and assembly rights even though they're private minnpost.com/cityscape/2015…
2) utilities (gas, water, electric) aren't allowed to cut people off even if they miss bills.
