....because all the wise people in the world who are experts on American policy and who analyze the images and the videos [of 9/11] agree unanimously that what happened in the [Twin] Towers was a purely American action, planned and carried out within the U.S. Proof of this is the sequence of continuous explosions that dramatically ripped through both buildings. … Expert structural engineers demolished them with explosives, while the planes crashing [into them] only gave the green light for the detonation...

Populist Influence on the 2016 Race for the White House
Populist
Influence on the 2016 Race for the White House
James
Borzillieri
The Presidential elections are a
characteristic tradition in the United States of America. While every bid for
the presidency is worth tuning in to, this year’s fiasco has been the talk of
the World Wide Web. The internet, however would be a barren place if it were
not for the characters who inhabit it, and two particular candidates have taken
the country by storm utilizing this new and exciting platform. I am, of course,
talking about the democratic socialist Bernie Sanders and the illustrious
Donald J. Trump.
Such a contest has never before
taken place on our soil. Anybody familiar with American politics is well aware
that nominations are generally decided more so by the depth of pockets rather
than depth of arguments. While money has certainly not been removed from the
equation, additional variables, made possible by high-speed information
transmission, have off-balanced the long standing equation of establishment
politics.
Thinking back to the beginning
of the election cycle, the tone has certainly changed. The reason for which is
the diminishing significance of so-called establishment
rhetoric. This perceived impotence arguably first made itself known with the
rise of the Tea Party, and the legitimization of the libertarian angle with Ron
Paul’s commendable 2012 run for president, garnering an alarming 50% support
from American military voters. While many consider supporting a third party nothing
more than “throwing away your vote,” others possess a broader viewpoint.
The thought of having a 3rd
party running for office is unsettling for the many who can’t conceive anything
outside of the hard-lined, big money, petro-politics that the pre-millennial
generations have grown up knowing nothing other than. However, the changing tone
of high-speed media has opened up the debate in a way that not only undercuts
establishment rhetoric, but it has many growing up in a reality where the norm is completely non-existent. While
concentrated efforts and enormous sums of money have worked hard to put
televisions in every living room in America, the open format of the internet
has nearly obliterated any semblance of political or scientific consensus within
the national community. There is no establishment to the populist base of
voters who have shocked the U.S. status quo and garnered the attention of the
rest of the interconnected world. The turn from television and big newspapers
as main propagators of news media, to the free and open internet has had an
irrevocable effect on the way people go about getting their information, as
well as the way candidates go about publicizing themselves.
While the effect may have come
off as a mere disturbance back at the beginning of the cycle, the legitimate
possibility of a Sanders or Trump White House is very much being discussed
among the grass root bases who support them. While mainstream media continues
to downplay this reality with silly statistics such as “likability ratings,”
there likewise exist polls that make one wonder why the media bothers expending
so many resources on such poorly thought out propaganda. A new survey conducted
by the Media Insight Project gauged the opinions of 2,014 U.S. adults across
the country. What the surveyors concluded was that a mere 6% of adults
expressed “a lot of confidence” in U.S. mainstream media sources.
No matter your preference,
Sanders and Trump have done irreparable damage to the corporate media apparatus,
as well as the corrupted bi-fascist parties that have been dominating the playing
field since before the civil war. Both have done so in a way that no established candidate could have. This
warrants further explanation.
On the blue side, one could go
as far to say that Bernie Sanders didn’t have a hippie’s chance on Wall Street
of garnering the support he would need to take on the Clinton crime syndicate.
In spite of these odds, he has managed to raise more money from more supporters
than any candidate who has come before him. His model will be critically
studied and widely implemented in the years to come. This is something no
candidate could have achieved in the age before smartphones. The effect of that
success has been the gift of a podium that the mainstream cannot revoke. This
puts Bernie in an interesting position: it gives him the ability to say
whatever he wants, though the man has been restrained to say the least in
regards to attacking his opponent, Hillary Clinton.
While Clinton’s ties to Wall
Street are not news to many (especially those who consider themselves part of
the opposing party), many lifetime democrats are perking up to this
long-standing reality in response to the impressively composed Sanders
campaign. He has exposed the Clinton contradiction to the left in a way that no
Republican candidate (including Donald Trump) could have ever dreamed of. The
bi-polar nature of political opinions in the U.S.A. make it nearly impossible
for candidates on either party to impose lasting damage to the opposing side.
It isn’t until parties begin exposing the corruption within themselves that
respective voter bases fully consider the critiques being put forth. Sanders’
composed, yet scathing comments towards Hillary Clinton have had this effect.
The same truth is just as
applicable to the red side. It would be unimaginable to believe that a Clinton
could successfully convince the Republican voting base that corruption is
visceral throughout its own ranks. However, insurgencies within the Republican party
have invigorated voters, and had an effect similar to that which Sanders has
brought down on the Democrats. The biggest difference is that the Republican
insurgency has a greater momentum. After the disastrous eight-year Bush Jr.
presidency, a rising Tea Party movement began mustering the support of
financial conservatives and angry, intelligent rednecks all over the country. Initially
led by voices like Ron Paul and Alex Jones, the Tea Party phenomenon didn’t
take long to attract the scorn of the IRS as well as the injection of big money
into the ranks, resulting in the likes of Ted Cruz (and many others)
masquerading as agents of fiscal and social reform.
While the Tea Party has lost
most of its steam, it had a desirable effect in the sense that it displayed to
the entire country how acceptable it really is to step outside of established
party lines. It also helped articulate the effect that big money can have when
allowed to permeate through a budding grass roots movement. Enter Donald Trump to
capitalize on the residual discontent that the Tea Party movement helped to churn
up.
Both parties have been split as
a result of the outspoken populists; variety has been injected into the mix of
American politics for the first time since the end of the Second World War, and
the rise of the Libertarians has a truly silent (and possibly completely new)
voting base ready to pounce on the opportunity at hand.
It is interesting to note, given
the current political landscape, that establishment rhetoric seems to have hit
an all-time low in regards to its ability to stimulate and invigorate American
voters. Party leaders have even gone as far to say that “votes don’t matter” in
preparation for the upcoming conventions that will decide who will don the
title of “nominee.” A centrist such as myself can’t help but fathom (rather,
fantasize over) the possibility of both Sanders and Trump getting politically
worked over by unfair convention tactics and running in spite of who receives
the nomination. The danger of splitting votes as once feared by any third party
candidate is then nullified, as both parties would be split. Add Libertarian
candidate Gary Johnson into the mix, and suddenly we have a five-party system
as well as an undoubtedly much larger voter turnout. Things could get rather
interesting following this line.
The next president of the United States
could potentially win the bid with only 21% of the popular vote. Not only that,
but such a quantum-leap would open up the landscape for the new parties to stay
established while illustrating the possibility and methods to which other
populist movements can gain their own representation within the system.
Successfully doing so would disorient the shadow government beyond its ability
to effectively control the U.S. political system as it currently does.
If there has ever been a time
for change, 2016 has opened up the possibility. As illustrated by contemporary
populist movements, change starts at home. Every day voters can make a difference, and this writer is personally fed up with
hour-long political debates that all-too-often end with at least one
participant concluding “well, there’s nothing we can do about it anyway.”
Anybody who knows how to push the power button on a television set can debunk
that self-defeating, un-American bullshit. Anybody with a history book can look
back even further to take in the magnitude of change that has occurred, and
anybody with a brain can get out and participate in the system that so many
have laid their lives down trying to preserve. In this century, there is no
establishment.
