Oh I absolutely agree.... but my point is, look at the amount of time, effort and energy that is placed on these single issues, very often by individuals, corporations and institutions, who were complicit in their creation AND silent in their continuation, who are now so outraged and crying out for our public demonstration. Yanukovich (Ukraine) deserted his post....by crossing into Russia. Hadi (Yemen) is in hiding from "Terrorists".... in Saudi Arabia. Just before the ceasefire in Aleppo the MSM was screaming about up and comming humanitarian disaster of it's occupants....(Something MUST be done!!). Now, after the ceasefire, there is famine and disease, oh and BTW... "moderate rebels" shut off and/or poison the water to a city of 5 million people in Damascus... not a peep. Madonna.... in her best "street cred Stylee" protests anti-womens rights, calls Trump a fascist, and suggests we "blow-up the White House".... I live in New Zealand, a few years ago she brought a huge swathe of land, and a big flash house here, and within a year, her well paid lawyers, were seeking a court order to keep the "common people" aka hardworking farmers off "her" land..... and you think you have immigrant problems
.
The Hypocracy is stunning!!!
A few days ago, the growing fear amongst many Americans was what would replace the Affordable Care Act, and would this also affect Medicaid (free healthcare for the young and the elderly).... Fears were growing, serious questions were being asked and the story was gaining traction... where is it now? POOF!!!! Lost in the ideological noise and miasma of statistics about illegal workers, immigrant terrorists and what Oprah thinks! I know where ACA (aka Obamacare) AND medicaid is.... going through a Republican Congress in the hands of a man (Paul Ryan) who has sought to remove medicaid in every budget proposal he has put forward.... Are we being conned?
You asked...
Damned if I know, sure wish there was someone remotely trustworthy to tell me the Truth.
I can't tell you who to trust.... that comes from personal experience over time. I CAN tell you the mechanisms though:- Step outside the bubble.... then look back. It's a whole different world out here. Out here America (and Americans) are judged by their actions, not their ideals. The news carries substance not memes, it quotes sources not anonymous Government Officials and is oppositional to power, rather than ingratiating. These are the standards by which we should judge our sources of information and ALL voices can carry truths.
