  1. Under Trump

    You have stated in the past that some here have trouble with your posts making sense. Appears to be a generalized narrative. If you were naming specific persons that would be appreciated.
  2. Under Trump

    Trump is behaving in a presidential manner with his recent Tweets criticizing Vanity Fair for a negative review about his restaurant in Trump Tower. Stay tuned for more after Jan. 20th.
  3. German scientists are making headway regarding fusion technology.
  4. Under Trump

    I served in the military (5.5 years) during the Vietnam war and I have a very clear idea as to what the government does. The price paid by military personnel is absolutely horrific, both body and mind.
  5. Under Trump

    Why not expand on this by pointing out specific posts in this thread. Several valid points are apropos e.g. pizzagate.
  6. Under Trump

    In what way does this fit with the discussion at hand? Or, is this another anti-communist Alinsky rant?
  7. Under Trump

    That is a personal attack in case you haven't read the rules of behavior here. Further, why not discuss as opposed to an angry post?
  8. Under Trump

    In what way did he ruin this country? Your post is unfounded in that you believe that I support Hillary and Obama. If you would read my posts correctly as opposed to making broad assumptions, I am only discussing Trump.
  9. Zero Point Tech. & Harnessing Dao

    I researched years ago all of this so called zero point tech and all are nothing but scams. The mind body complex is the best device.

    I guess you just can't wait for Trump to be sworn in. Don't come crying when this guy turns out to be the opposite of what you are wishing for.

    Trump is promoting his business interests on a daily basis and will not change one bit. Let's see if he sells the Washington Hotel before January 20th. BTW, the lease is with the government and the terms are precisely clear.

    http://press-pubs.uchicago.edu/founders/tocs/a1_9_8.html No Title of Nobility shall be granted by the United States: And no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince or foreign State. I watched an interview with both ethics lawyers from the Bush and Obama administrations and the conclusion both presented is that Trump will be in violation of this clause when sworn in office.

    Read the emolument clause (Article 1 Section 9) which is clear cut. Further, the STOCK Act applies in this case. https://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/112/s2038/text/enr#link=2_3&nearest=H0762DE0DEFAA4A4FB8A761ED1E6CF0E8

    Some of your post is rather condescending toward persons that have studied fascism/authoritarianism, narcissism, and understand Trump's character. My basis has been drawn from myriad sources; academics, journalists, medical professionals and so forth. I will also add my 5.5 years serving in the military during Vietnam, personal business experience and so forth. In the bold text above; you state it is so simple from your point of view in which you imply that persons with less awareness or intellectual curiosity are unable to grasp such a simple thing. Moreover, to encourage one to forget the lies, innuendo, misogyny and so forth completely misses the point. Trump has behaved in this manner all his life and will not change.
  16. Under Trump

    Have you studied as to how fascism works? Root cause? Do you understand character armoring and it's root cause? Fusion of government/corporate is the basis for Trump's form of government which is fascist. Ian Kershaw, Richard Hofstadter are two academics that are worth researching in regards to fascism. I doubt you have read either one.
  17. Under Trump

    Seriously! I guess you fail to understand or recognize fascism. The propaganda machine frames fascism so as to make it appear banal. The link below requires a careful understanding as to the root cause of fascism, which I have extensively written, in other threads. http://www.salon.com/2016/12/13/normalizing-fascists-what-history-can-tell-us-about-leaders-making-the-movement_partner/?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=socialflow
  18. Expect the price of gold to significantly plummet if this is true. There was and perhaps still is a physicist living in St. George Utah by the name of Dr. Joe Champion that claimed he could convert silver into gold by using yeast. He scammed a lot of people out of their money and spent time in prison for fraud.
  19. Under Trump

    Trump is telling lies for his own business interests.
  20. Under Trump

    In what way is that good? None of Trump's cabinet picks are interested in service and like Trump are only serving their personal and corporate agenda.
  21. Under Trump

    The media has not addressed that Trump hotels are potential soft targets for terrorist activity and if Trump is put in that situation, how will he react? His own interests or?
  22. Under Trump

    Who will Trump serve? His business empire or the interest of this country? The conflicts are adding up and when sworn in he will be in violation of the emoluments clause. http://www.newsweek.com/2016/12/23/donald-trump-foreign-business-deals-jeopardize-us-531140.html

  24. RIP John Glenn

    He was one of my boyhood heroes.
