Cringeworthy Campaign

Open the morning paper these days and it’s no longer just sordid stories from America’s police blotters that make one cringe. No, it’s the Washington Post‘s and New York Times‘ coverage of Election 2016 that has become so hard to stomach. What impact might it be having on the voters? It’s impossible to say, since the public despises and distrusts the news media even more than it does politicians. We’ll know in a month, but it’s hard to imagine the campaign getting any more rancid than it already has. Will coverage re-focus on issues rather than on personalities? Unfortunately, this seems unlikely, since the lazy hacks who cover the news have gone on autopilot, supplanting actual news with campaign tabloid-sleaze updated by-the-hour.

    The campaign is just a reflection of the competing criminal enterprises that now make up the Federal Government.

    Fast and Furious gun running by the DOJ

    Hillary and her Top Secret e mail server end run, flagrantly white washed by the FBI.

    Pentagon vs the CIA proxy armies destroying the entire MENA. And risking nuclear war with Russia and possibly China.

    The IRS becoming a KGB type Political Police to “Punish” those on the “Enemies List.”

    The Treasury Department sending plane loads of $100’s on pallets to Iraq that all gets stolen.

    The DEA picking “most Favored” drug cartels that receive carte blanche to ply their trade in the USA.

    Revolving door at the FDA where Big Pharma executives regulate themselves.

    Federal Reserve, free money to Oligarchs and buyer of last resort for worthless MBS paper.

    The only department that seems to be doing a good job is the FAA, airline travel as far as accidents go has never been safer.

    Other than the FAA, the whole Government is corrupt far beyond any hope of redemption.

    All you can do is make as much money as you can, and render unto Caesar what the IRS dictates.

    That way you and yours can inhabit your own, private, Matrix!
