The Russian Election War

Ladies and Gentlemen we are battling a proxy war with Russia in the middle east. This war story starts with sanctions that the US under Obama put on Putin in 2014 in attempts to harm their economy, decrease Putin’s popularity and overthrow Putin to install a leader more favorable to the US agenda. It backfired as the Russian citizens are not so easily fooled by US media and Putin’s approval skyrocketed to 90%. The US appears to be backing the Sunnis and the Russians appear to be backing the Shias.

The war propaganda continues with loud open speculation that Russia is behind anything and everything. This has to occur because Russia is no longer communist, so we can’t wage an ideological war. They aren’t gasing their own people that we know of or doing anything that would justify it on humanitarian grounds. Neither country has land or territory that it wants to conquest and claim as it’s own so it’s not a clash of empire building. (Perhaps nation building and battle over resources in the middle east but that’s suppressed if true). There is not a clear reason why we should not want to be allies with the developed super powers of the world and work together towards economic development.

I’m not ruling out that there isn’t some valid reason, or information those in power have that the rest of us don’t that justifies war, but nothing out in the open does. So propaganda (perhaps on both sides), is virtually required. They are one of the few countries that would produce mutually assured destruction at best if things escalate, and they could very quickly.

So… How does this connect with the election?

One or more of these things is false:
-Trump has no chance of winning and “he’s done” after the access Hollywood tape and allegations that followed, and “Hillary in a landslide”
-Media is outraged that Trump may not accept the results, and this position is “illogical”.
-Russia hacking may alter the result of the election, therefore nullifying the result and justifying it’s cancellation, and therefore challenging results should be “logical”
-Trump is silly for “whining about rigged election”. Hillary though would somehow be justified (cognitive dissonance much?)
-The US “knows for certain the Russian government was behind this hack”. (This one is absolutely false as any capable hacker can spoof an IP and/or use a proxy server, and an IP address only gives you a general location without telling you if it was a citizen, government, contractor, etc)

These things are all incompatible with each other, but people seem absolutely convinced individually that one or another is true. It seems pretty odd that the story is how Trump wants to keep his options open and won’t make a decision in advance of seeing what occurs as if this should matter.

If wanting a fair, representative election is a “threat to our democracy” as touted (we’re actually a representative republic)… then is it really a democracy? (Or a truly, fairly represented republic?). This type of language to an enraged public provokes emotion, which can be channeled against a common enemy.

This type of language combined with the attempt to block RTV and silence Russian opinion is a pattern consistent with the drums of war.

I heard a rumor I mostly dismissed initially that the US would allege that Russia rigged the election. There may have been a post before this. There was also a few follow ups. It was just before a few stories emerged one after another about Russia and hacking that have drip fed into the media. Joe Biden announces “secret plan” to cyber attack Russia, Russia officially blamed for hacking DNC, Russia blamed for trying to hack elections, etc.

This was also before Russia TV’s bank accounts were shut down in Britain to minimize the propaganda and counter propaganda and silence the other side.

This perhaps just is a proverbial “flexing of the muscles”, but hopefully this illustrates what’s at stake here.

Russian Preparing For Nuclear War.

Nuclear war drills re-positioning ICBM.

The establishment seems to want war, and when you define an enemy as someone that could end all earthly life if you fail, rigging an election or even funding terror groups just seems like “acceptable collateral damage” once you go down that path.

Perhaps they want war to sell war bonds, perhaps because they believe the myth that war is good for the economy, perhaps they just want to replace Putin for someone more favorable to other goals. I won’t speculate, but the rabbit hole burrows deep, if you connect Russians goal to put a pipeline through eastern Europe, Foreign policy decisions involving arming Al Queda in Iraq which became ISIS. Wiping out Qaddafi and ALSO withdrawing prior to the 2012 election against the advice of his advisors Director Leon Ponetta and Defense secretary Robert Gates eliminating anything that would keep religious zealots in check long after Sadaam was killed. (US forces and Qadaffi was all that remained in the middle east). All these things likely got us to where we are now. There’s much information I am not privy to, and perhaps some misinformation I’m going by, so I won’t speculate on intentions.

I don’t know if this is to be Cold War 2, World War 3, or just a proxy war in the middle east where both countries refuse to attack the homelands. Hopefully it’s just tensions that will deescalate rather than the preamble to something much worse.

Some of the best persuaders in the world have done all they can to make Trump look like Hitler and “finger on the nuclear button” to scare the hell out of people that Trump will somehow be a bigger threat than the road we’re currently on that involves taking on the world’s largest (or certainly one of the most potent) military superpowers. OF all that’s made about Trumps “finger on the button” it appears they’re worried that Trump will move his hand completely away and shake hands with Putin instead and try to charm him and make friends. Trump would prefer to be friendly to Putin and even give up the imperial goals of nation building (while probably getting something in exchange). This is seen as a “threat” to the establishment. The US defense contracts, the military industrial complex, the thousands of military advisors who are employed due to conflicts, and many of the foreign policy advisors, many of which paid by defense contractors to beat the drums of war, and perhaps even the CIA and counter terrorist units in the FBI. These warmongerers want so badly for their to be conflict in the middle east that they will take on Russia in the process even at risk of WWIII (or WW3 for the millennials). Except so far they haven’t made a good case (that I am aware of) to the public to justify any conflict or potential with Russia.

This is the opposite of conspiracy theory because people aren’t conspiring. Instead, it’s self interest at work of individuals that just happen to have the same goals and can work behind the curtain of public view while the eyeballs focus on the elected president and the media mouthpiece that is largely connected with the establishment.

Hillary will shame Putin, talk of how he’s “weak” and back a caged lion into a corner and force him to respond with strength rather than negotiate and look for common ground and appeal to Putin and compliment him as long as he’s willing to do the same back.

Do I think the self interest will cause people to consciously, knowingly risk others lives for their own sake? No. Advisors and establishment will protect their own skin first, and then try to do the best job after their bias of self preservation  (including preserving their jobs from someone they wrongly believe to be less qualified and more dangerous). There bias will filter the information they receive, and they will make the best decision from there.

This political theater is not just about the election, but the future of our country as those in power will not give it up, even if it means risking an all out war. And once there is a clear enemy, funding terror groups, (even those who behead others who have different beliefs) is just “collateral damage” to battle Russia and there will be no incentives outside of a substantial regime change for either side to back down since it’s mostly civilian lives at risk, not their own until it’s too late.

Trump has been labeled “the next Hitler” by the best people in the world at persuasion with hundreds of million dollars or even billions at their disposal to try to take this election. If you think you’re going up against the next Hitler, you have little risk of getting caught, high upside and little oversight, you are going to see fraud virtually every time.

Certainly people will make attempts on a micro scale to change the election whether it’s ballot stuffing, or burning ballots or bringing in boxes of absentee ballots already counted, as well as the James Okeefe videos showing that individuals will do whatever they can to try to influence the election..

Now, that doesn’t mean there won’t be fraud on the other side. It doesn’t mean that it will actually make a difference to the result of the election. It may not be enough, or it may not need to be done to change the outcome.

Now, it’s easy for things that look similar to trigger confirmation bias and for people on both sides to make assumptions. Perhaps there’s election propaganda that looks like war propaganda and vise versa. Perhaps this is just a small military conflict and there will be nothing more to it… But if there’s even a very small chance that the risks are as high as they could be, you are talking about the end of civilization as we know it as the downside.

So would you take a guy who might be slightly overly prejudiced, or keep the people in power that want to escalate conflicts and don’t fully comprehend how close they may be to ending civilization?

Hillary Clinton of all people with her Mushroom Cloud shaped head, her emperor Mao clothing and her terminator robotic actions has called Putin soulless. Russia does not fuck around. When he says they will destroy America in nuclear war if Hillary is elected, there’s a good chance he’s not joking, or just maneuvering to influence the election.

I’m kind of merging two posts here because I didn’t think either could stand on it’s own, don’t worry, I intend to ruffle some feathers for the weekend so this is just me thinking about universal basic income (UBI) and why there aren’t more posts in the penthouse or basement.

UBI is the idea that instead of/in addition to welfare payments in various form, people are given a flat income which they can use for any purpose and would hopefully go back in the economy.  This has many forms including a citizens dividend (already in place in Alaska) or a payment only to those below a certain threshold of income or assets.  I have no thoughts about how this should be implemented since it would require some trial and error but I will tell you one thing: it is coming.

Whether Trump or Hillary gets elected is immaterial to if UBI will happen but I think if Hillary gets elected it this is going to happen within her second term (as if she gets elected now the second term is a lock because of her “fuckery,” to quote fly.)  This is because truck drivers are one of the biggest sources of employment for the USA and those jobs will go away fairly soon with automation of driving.  With all those unemployed, something will be needed for Hillary to get her votes, and it will literally be a transfer to the unemployed, hopefully with one of her banker friends getting a fee on each payment card.  Trump, I believe, will try to empower workers to self determinism so it may not be rolled out in his term/s if he gets elected.

Now onto Trump’s Penthouse and Barry’s Basement.  I thought there would be more posting activity here.  I don’t want to bury any others posts but I don’t know, I’m trying to limit posts to once a day but with these blogs being temporary until election day, there are some things I want to try to get out.  I was thinking about posting twice a day but now it’s obvious once a day will be way more than enough.  I’m glad to be here I never thought 100 random people, at least, would be interested in anything I had to say.  So let me know if there’s anything specific I could post about from the POV of a liberal Trump voter.

I thought hard and long (extra pun) on when to post this, because I want it to be visible for a while.  This is important stuff that people, especially Hillary supporters, need to know in order to see what is actually happening with respect to this “rigged” election.

First off, the election isn’t rigged.  It’s being controlled by what famous atheist Richard Dawkins coined as “memes.”  Memes, as they were coined, allude to the ways ideas go through the population.  By definition things like democracy in the late 18th century was a meme due to the seemingly spontaneous outbreak in the US and western Europe.  This is important because HRC used memes to defeat Bernie Sanders in the Primary and Trump defeated his primary opponents with memes.

Let’s start with the fun way that Trump won his primary: by using the “alt-right” momentum generated to get the youth out to vote in his favor.  Googling “Trump memes 4chan” gives myriad interesting results.

These literal memes got young internet users, especially on 4chan /pol/ and reddit The_Donald to come out and vote in the republican primaries because they saw Trump as somebody who was different from the status quo other candidates and might have more of their interests in mind with respect to the declining middle class than Rubio or Bush.

HRC used more insidious tactics meme-wise to defeat Bernie.  The media ran with the memes and created the engine that destroyed Bernie.  Some of these such as “Bernie lost in the early South primaries therefore he’s unelectable.”  “Bernie is too left leaning to be electable.” and the famous Wikileaks based “Bernie may be an atheist.”  These memes helped destroy Bernie when he was probably the more popular Democrat.

Now Hillary is trying her hardest to meme Trump out of existence.  “Trump is losing big in polls” (Too heavy with democrat leaning voters to be that far out of wack.) “Trump is racist and sexist” (Very few verifiable actions confirm this and it is overly pushed by the media.)  “Trump may start a nuclear war” (WTF.)  Stuff like this may well turn the election into a Hillary win.

And when the economy continues to sputter and real income continues to fall if HRC gets elected, I want anybody who fell for the memes to remember this.  Hillary, the media, the DNC are masters of memes and if people continue to fall for it, the US will be a much weaker nation in four years under her.

So this political season democratic party policy is to be shaped by “narratives” which are most likely shaped by good folks like George Soros and posited by career politicians like Hillary Clinton and her most hated ally Obama .
After the New York and New Jersey bombings the White House spokes”person” immediately cautioned everyone against abandoning the narrative that these are ” lone wolf ” attacks and to continue to believe Obama’s teachings that these attacks are not made by anyone associated with Islam . Bombs have exploded and he is lecturing us on maintaining the proper narrative ? I realize most muslims are not terrorists but this one is . So ,I thought , hospitals are filling up with people who have been injured by a ” Narrative ” !
These narratives could be woven so MS-13 gang members acting nicely and entering illegally from our southern border may have their children ripped from their arms by rank and file irredeemable republican xenophobes and cast unceremoniously upon some foreign rocks while their life’s blood trickles out before the cameras of CNN . Now that is optically nice . All they wanted was a better life without the burden of legal entry or citizenship .
My point is the democratic narrative doesn’t just make room in America for illegals or people who hate us , it wants me to apologize to them for not celebrating their illegal behavior .And I might add they are treated better than American veterans in the process . Meanwhile . . . . .
When Bill Clinton takes a million dollars from some arab nation it’s just bad optics .
When friends of Bill ( foundation donors ) , get first crack at stealing I mean reconstructing Haiti it’s just bad optics .
When congress orders preservation of e mails and they are destroyed instead it is only optically challenging not criminal .
When Bill Clinton meets in a remote hangar with the Attorney General during the same week a decision not to prosecute his wife is made it is just bad optics again folks .
When Bill Clinton states Obamacare is crazy and doesn’t work it is because it is the truth and he actually hates Obama , oops how’d that get in there ?
The Clinton narrative is to create a borderless corporately controlled landmass where politically correct whores govern the hated masses in a system which excludes everyone while casting about narratives of inclusion and harmony . The enlightened politicians collect huge sums from the corporates and tell the people they have our best interests at heart . I think this represents the current state of our political system ( both parties) .
I do not agree with their narrative and see clinton as an extremely greedy individual who thinks it is her turn . Remember ” why aren’t I winning by 50% ? ” Vote Trump to stop the narratives .

And how it doesn’t exist.  I was gonna do some BS post about how it’s morning and post a photo of that bear from Kayne’s album a while back but it seems like people are serious about the goals of Trump’s Penthouse.

I’m watching tv right now and there is some bullshit about how the election won’t be “rigged” (It has already been due to the one sidedness of media coverage) and how the accusations of Trump are of more importance than that.  If this wasn’t a conservative leaning website I would cover more on how the RNC has spent $0 on Trump ads as opposed to tens of millions in every election recently but I don’t need to.

So let’s talk about how the millennial economy is a pile of garbage and will actually never recover and I’ll be using anecdotal evidence here so if that’s not your thing, old man, go fuck off back to early morning slots at your local breakfast joint.  I had 10 people excluding me and the wife in my wedding party.  9 would qualify as millennials but the other one is an accountant for completeness.  Of the other 9 that are important to what I’m saying, three are teachers, one is a business woman, one is in the old folks home helping old folks (when she studied business), one is an accountant, one is studying to be a doctor, one is a political consultant, and one is an actuary.

I have pretty smart friends but it is obvious to see that teaching is over-represented and, although I didn’t note it, three of the 9 are quite marginally attached to their jobs due to aimlessness in life.  So we have a situation where they represent a microcosm of the millennial economy where you can teach or go to grad school for a profession and nothing else.  Businesses have too many barriers to entry because of the tax code and Obamacare, manufacturing doesn’t exist in the US anymore (more or less), and even things like trucks will be obsolete in 10 years.

Were headed towards a dystopian future at worst and universal basic income at best unless things change.  Trump will bring changes when he’s elected.  They may not be from him but it will force the leaders to listen more instead of trying to use the media as their personal ad campaign.  So vote Trump, old man, because 33% of the economy can’t be teachers and 33% can’t be marginally attached to their jobs and when the camel’s back does break under HRC,

Retirees will be underneath it.

Small things add up to less freedom . True story , Microsoft has been aggressively pushing Windows 10 to the point of using a NO option install whereby your computer tells you Windows 10 will be installed right now ! You are given no choice it just starts to install . I contacted my senator to complain about this , noting my wife runs a real estate program which won’t work with Windows 10 , and he responded with , there is no current pending legislation bla bla bla thanks for your inquiry and try holding your breath . I looked on line and found he takes about $ 6,500 annually from Microsoft ( try to find out who contributes to your elected officials , not easy ) . I wrote back and thanked him for reminding me cash trumps constituency and never heard back .
This is a small thing but I paid for the computer and software so it should be my decision . Side note . I am constantly bombarded with ” your anti-virus software is out of date ” notices so I tried to remove the software and was informed I do not have permission to do so !
Major drug companies hawk their products on tee vee all day and night even though to cure the sniffles may cause heart failure or your fingers may fall off . Why are they allowed to do so ? Because they pre=bought their ” elected ” representatives .
I wondered for the longest time why Boone Pickens plan to use natural gas in big trucks got no support . I am slow but it finally hit me , the defense contractors need to sell tanks and planes to Saudi Arabia and so informed their paid for representatives to remember who pays for their Cayman Island fortresses and other needs .
Bottom line , I get it , Donald Trump is not a perfect person , but if he can make inroads into rooting out the money ( and corruption ) and return some accountability to the political system then he has my vote . Contrast the Clintons who have made their entire living from selling influence to the highest bidder and there is no choice at all . Think about how they became millionaires ? Next : An armed and dangerous narrative  , with optics ?

Hello, my name is Mark and “The Fly,” has allowed me to chillax in the penthouse, I think, depending on where this post posts to.

I am the poster child for the type of person Trump needs to get in order to win the election.  I voted for Barack “Barry” Obama in 2012 on the back of the ability to jam the ACA through Congress and provide an antithesis to the evangelical clowns in the House of Representatives.  Everything was pretty honky dory at that point in my opinion.  I was trying my hand at day trading after not finding too much luck in getting a normal job due to a less than stellar college GPA but I was planning on proposing to my wife and I thought I would be a millionaire in short order.

Well trading is difficult and I never made any money doing it.  I worked a bullshit retail job to make ends meet and my second career after quitting those was a tutor/financial advisor.  Now I find myself not being a fan of “sales” and since my wife works 50 hoursish a week I find myself looking for a more consistent career.  I am an analyst, not a salesman.

Getting back to Trump, it turns out the amount of jobs in anything STEM or analytics is far outstripped by job seekers.  And it seems like NAFTA and illegal immigration from Mexico are the one-two punch that is destroying the middle class.  Obamacare was/is a joke and the recovery is a sham.  I will be voting for Trump because he is different, but I would gladly vote for a unifying liberal Democrat if one existed.  Hillary Clinton is no liberal, she is a leftist-a cancer on any kind of hard working society and anybody with a brain can see this.

I will try to post about tying my liberal beliefs to what I hope is a future with Trump as a Republican President.  I am not big on long posts but I will try to post often and, if not, at least once every two days.  I look forward to sharing my beliefs and hopefully contributing in a meaningful way to iBC.
