With the DNC having a "democratic socialist" (see: communist/nazi) as a frontrunner in their primaries, do you think the media will finally admit that Hitler, Mao, Stalin & the world's most horrific mass-murderers were all leftists or nah?
Kinda hard to keep up the charade that they were "right wing" when someone with the same ideology is leading in polls for the Democrat primaries.
Actually pretty surprised - doing some research on Sino-Russian relations & found a Wikipedia article that lists ChiCom & Russian commies as "left wing" forces.

Just wanna throw this out there for the people who think we need to be afraid of Bloomberg's money.

It's understandable, the guy's worth $71.5bn and could be seen, much like @realDonaldTrump , as a successful businessman who could come in and supercharge the economy based on -
his private sector experience.

But you only have to look at their private sector experience to understand how different they are.

@realDonaldTrump made his money in NYC commercial real estate (arguably the most cutthroat industry in the world) and got his PR experience in-
branding and being a media personality for decades.

He "gets it" in terms of brand, selling and being in the public eye as a matter of business.

Bloomberg, on the other hand, made his money in financial news & tech.

Have you ever seen an ad for a Bloomberg terminal?

Thread:
Dear Hollywood: Fire Your Business Leaders or Go the Way of Blockbuster video

1) Much like the laws of nature, business has a handful of rules that must be followed if one wants to stay in business.
2) I spent a substantial amt of time during my MBA courses reading case study after case study of business leaders who chose to violate those laws in one way or another, and were resigned to the dustbin of history when their choices took their formerly blue-chip companies into...
3) bankruptcy & liquidation.

These fundamental principles are referred to as “table stakes” by many MBAs, meaning they’re such “day 1” & “Business 101” rules that they don’t even have to be mentioned. Anyone worth their salt knows what they are, and that they must be respected-

Why do you think the Dems are so hellbent on abolishing the Electoral College in favor of the popular vote?

It's the same reason our Founders created a Representative Republic rather than Democracy.

Deception.

In a popular vote contest or straight Democracy, all you have to-
do is deceive at least 51% of the (easily deceived) public and you get mob rule.

Remember seeing the Iowa Buttigege supporter who wanted her vote back when she found out he was gay?

I haven't watched a single Dem debate, but knew through soundbytes that was pretty much his-
entire platform at the beginning (being gay).

And this woman was engaged enough politically to participate in a primary caucaus, yet didn't know that about Pete.

What do you think she'd say if she found out his dad was a Marxist professor, his "military experience" was all -

1) Gah. OK. Here's a thread on the Australian neo-#Nazi groupuscule (see Roger Griffin, 'From slime mould to rhizome: an introduction to the groupuscular right', @POP_Jrnl, Vol.37, No.1, 2003) Antipodean Resistance ...

Watching the livestream of @LAW_witchhunt, before the meeting starts @ken4london turns to Graham Bash "you're Jewish?" He makes his speech first and then walks out "promised the kids I'd be home by 8..."
Leaving Tina Werkmann (who is she?) to introduce Jackie Walker and Graham Bash to the crowd. It's a bit sad really, the night before her expulsion hearing she wheels out Graham. You can imagine how his speech goes blah blah "I'm Jewish and it's all a smear" blah blah blah
Tina says "On that glorious day in 2015 I don't think anyone expected we'd take the @uklabour Party, take society, straight away..." and "Jeremy Corbyn has always been unacceptable not just to the right wing not just of the party but to the people who run society"

On this Day - 1939, the #Nazi-#Soviet Pact was announced in Moscow. As well as a 10-year Non-Aggression Pact, Stalin and Hitler agreed to divide central Europe between them. Here, Stalin toasts the pact with Hitler's photographer, Heinrich Hoffmann.
The Nazi-Soviet Pact gave #Hitler the green light for his plans to invade Poland: a week after its signature, German forces invaded their eastern neighbour. Poland's allies - Britain and France - responded by declaring war on Germany on 3 September. #WW2 in Europe had begun.
Two weeks later, on 17 September, #Stalin's Red Army also invaded #Poland, to claim the spoils promised by the Pact with Hitler. The two invading forces met at Brest-Litovsk, where a joint Red Army/Wehrmacht parade was held, with German and Soviet troops happily fraternising.

Defining “Socialist” isn’t hard. You just have to read their work & listen to their leaders

And what you’ll find is frightening

Worse yet, the Dem Socialists of America (DSA) actually has a good shot of gaining power if we don’t wake up & fight back

Let’s read their plan: 1/17
.@DemSocialists want to abolish capitalism and transfer ownership of “essential” industries / related businesses to the govt or worker committees.

Why?

“Wealth is a social creation and should be controlled by society as a whole.”

(bit.ly/2vfQ7E5)
DSA’ers are squishy when defining which industries they’d nationalize. But the list touches every possible business, from food to electronics

Workers would then vote on which role is best for them, similar to the disastrous experiment at Zappos in 2016. (bit.ly/2DKlGNd)

Many Iranians criticised one of BBC Farsi’s journalists for her comments on Iran-Hezbullah relations. Some have even threatened her that she won’t be allowed to go back to Iran after the fall of the regime. Many Iranians believe some of @bbcpersian journalists support the regime.
In the past few days some anti-BBC slogans have been chanted by the protesters in Iran. In a comment one of BBCFarsi journalist claims that ‘Trump wants to turn Iran into another Syria by starting a civil war etc’. The same propaganda which is pumped out by Iranian state media.
Some of @BBCPersian journalists block anyone who criticises them. One of its journalists in particular has publicly supported A.Khamenei on his social media pages. I have written to a few MPs and the BBC about. Will see if BBC is interested in opening an investigation.
