And an orchestrated war with Russia has all of us marked for extinction

The Democratic Party that once was concerned with workers' rights, the elderly, civil rights, and the constitutional protections of America liberty no longer exists. As the just completed Democratic presidential primaries and the Democratic presidential convention have clearly demonstrated, the United States now has two Republican parties in service to the One Percent.

The organized Democrats -- the Democratic National Committee -- have shown themselves to be even more venal and corrupt than the Republicans. Leaked emails document that the Democratic National Committee conspired with the Hillary campaign in order to steal the nomination from Bernie Sanders. It is clear that Sanders was the choice of Democratic Party voters for president, but the nomination was stolen from him by vote fraud and dirty tricks.

The DNC and the media whores have tried to discredit the incriminating emails by alleging that the leaked emails resulted from a plot by Russia's President Vladimir Putin in behalf of "Putin's American agent," Donald Trump. "A vote for Trump is a vote for Putin," as the presstitute scum put it.

This diversionary tactic has not worked. Not even Americans are stupid enough to fall for it.

Consequently, the corrupt "leader" of the DNC had to resign and was unable to deliver her speech at the nominating convention from fear of being booed off the stage.

Sanders' supporters have abandoned Hillary and the fake "Democratic Party." Probably most of them will vote for the Green Party candidate.

The organized Republicans -- the Republican National Committee -- and the zionist neoconservatives wanted to block Donald Trump from the nomination just as the DNC blocked Sanders, but could not. The neoconservatives are organizing for Hillary as she is their warmonger and Trump says he is not, but as the Presidential contest is really a contest between the two Republican parties about which gets to be the prostitute for the One Percent, the RNC, impressed with Hillary's lack of voter support, seems to be sticking with Trump. Better to be a well-paid prostitute than to be out in the cold.

In the coming presidential election, the outcome will probably be determined by whether the powerful oligarchic interest groups decide whether Trump is an actual threat or whether they can cozy up to him and rope him in by appointing his government.

Trump's disability is that no matter how able an individual is, that person cannot simultaneously make themselves a multi-billionaire and be knowledgeable of economic and foreign policy issues. The bald fact is that Trump, if he becomes president, does not know whom to appoint in order to have the support from his government to effect the changes for which his supporters hope he stands.

When a person becomes President, that person doesn't suddenly become an encyclopedia with full knowledge. The President is dependent on the information flows from his government. If those information flows support the interests of Wall Street, the corrupt "banks too big to fail," the military-security complex, the Israel Lobby, agribusiness, and the extractive industries (energy, mining, timber), the President's decisions will support these material interests.

Donald Trump is the American people's choice, because he is opposed to the offshoring of American jobs -- a corporate practice that has enriched the One Percent at the expense of the American middle class.

Donald Trump is the American people's choice, because he opposes the fabricated, gratuitous conflict with Russia. Even Americans understand that taking war to a major nuclear power will not end well.

Donald Trump is the American people's choice because he realizes that NATO -- an organization whose purpose disappeared 25 years ago when the Soviet Union collapsed as a result of the coup against Gorbachev by extreme elements of the Soviet Communist Party -- now serves as a vehicle and cover for Washington's aggressions, which are war crimes under the international statutes that Washington created. Washington's wars benefit some of the One Percent at the expense of both the 99 Percent and millions of innocent peoples in many countries.
