The talk of rigging has been surfacing in the Democratic party, just as the race is about to officially kick off following Hillary Clinton's speech on Thursday. The rigging process from recollection is probably most the product of one curtain call, those by media, following the Nevada primary. They probably did not know at the time, that Bernie would take full steam ahead right after they closed up shop on their documentary and went home. Yet the statement they made, took the wind out of the sails of many a undecided voters. The math was over, but the rigging was not mentioned, it was brushed under the rug. The run of the mill journalist will not mention "Rigging" without a scandal such as the recent one with Debbie Wasserman Shultz behind. This is because the majority of the corporate own networks, will not tolerate any dissension from the rigging in which they part. The fourth pillar of government, vital an necessary, can be easily made to supply twisted information, all for the purpose of a nice happy ending to primaries and general elections, like an episode of Green Acres. Trump, for all his faults twisted that notion of a happy ending. He has surfaced from reality TV, where people get fired, not the ideal finish. Sure they are consoled at the end, and Trump never tore them down, just pointed out wrong doing with a hope that they would learn from their mistakes, and then he would point out the stregths.
Regardless, Trump has managed to take away from the filthy media blitz orchestrated by political parties and steer the ship towards "Reality". The media has been reelign ot keep up every since.
The first advantage came from the republicans with the stone carved Bush family mantra, as emphasized in Oliver Stone's film of "Not Tearing the Boy Down" It is a hushing principle, where emotions lead to insults of "The President" at this perilous time of War, which would of course weaken the War Effort. From their first all those with "us" must work against all those against us. With such a loyal base behind them, the illegal searches, clamping down on rights, and record keeping could ensue, and then be brushed under the rug when someone like Obama took office. Trump took wind of this, and played directly to that notion. He could do so because he is regarded as an important, respected figure, for many at least and cannot be brushed aside or intimidated. This he is on the side that reaps all the benefits. He is a billionaire who has snaked himself close enough to the real swine, so that by their own misgivings, they cannot bring themselves to shoot down someone of their own stock. Mind you they have burrowed themselves so deep in this catacomb that it is just second nature, automatic instinct of self-preservations to not attack someone in such a desirable position.
Sanders could have crushed Trump, but the media in their crippled state would not stand for it. I saw first hand how the DNC cunningly would bring journalists into their camp during campaign events, making them feel like they were all part of the team, only to start meddling from within. When I was at a Clinton rally, I was constantly barraged with treacherous Clinton Aides, constantly keeping a close eye on all journalists who were not "on board" with the ticket.
The feign notion of Choice is rearing it's head again, They are talking about the 1/10th of 1 percent, as has been Sander's slogan from the beginning. No one however, is talking about betting the winner. For all Sanders has done, he seems to have succeeded most in grooming the way for a real winner in four years. But that is a long count away, and they will do everything in their power to make the American people forget any big movement took place. It will be as if no dissension took place four years earlier, and the horses on the track will only qualify if they concede to their rigged agenda.
Frightening as a prospect of his presidency is, I must commend Trump for bringing these issues to the forefront. The Sanders campaign, on the other hand must continue it's path, and try to steer local and state election, showing a real momentum of success. I am eagerly awaiting to see the concessions made by Clinton, if any to the Sanders people. The race is still on, at it is important to remember that very little money goes under Trump. His backers are his friends, who he claims give only out of the goodness of his heart. He claims to not concede to any donors, whatever value that might bring to him. Clinton however is faced with a card, that puts her in a winning position. Those who want things from her, are coming over from the other side are at a disadvantage. She will be getting her pick of the litter, which means she might be able to squeeze out some real policies for Climate Change and the Economy.
Lopsided as it may be the election is taking shape and the issues will be discussed seriously. The concept of corruption, however is throwing itself one sided on the Camp of Clinton, whereas the reality is that the corruption stemmed and continued from the Republican party. A 400 pound gorilla has taken ranks their promising to fix everything, a familiar story seen around the world hundreds of time with the same cycle of events transpiring after it. Hopefully the lesson can be learned, then again, when people are not given a true choice they can vote very dangerously.
