Some falsebeliefs that are hurting the Democratic Party:

1. Republicans are better at messaging bc their audience is dumb.

2. Republicans are better at keeping together their coalition because the Democratic coalition is more "diverse."

The reality is that Democrats back opaque, convoluted, marginal policy ideas because the straightforward, popular policies like Medicare for All, a living wage, tax the rich, are opposed by their donor base. The inverse conservative policies (cut taxes/cut government) can be said straightforwardly because those policies are in line with what the corporate donor base both parties share support.

Democrats sound convoluted not because their policies are "smarter," but because they have to employ more sophistry to do their donor's bidding while not upsetting the base. They have to use rotating villain voting + the filibuster + rely on executive vetos + sunsetting popular policies like the child tax credit in order to make sure nothing they *say* they want sticks.

To point #2: This is so racist is wrong. There is very little "diversity" of opinion among the issues that ALL Americans-- not just the Dem base -- want. Medicare for all is an 88% issue among Dems, and 49% among Republicans. The overwhelming majority of Americans want it. Dems blaming "diversity" for not running on popular, economic populist policies is wrong and downright hateful.

Trump has not suddenly turned the US into a plutocracy.

What he has done, and we should be grateful to him for doing it, is strip away the thin and false democratic veneer to reveal to everyone how the country is actually run by a small group of wealthy elites.

There is nothing new about the workings of power in the US today. It's just that Trump doesn't make any effort to conceal the corruption, protection rackets, privileges and the illusion that the two party system provides voters with meaningful political choices.

In fact he genuinely believes that the presidency constitutes a personal right to enrich himself and his family, both during his time in office as the ultimate insider trader, and afterwards.

It is possibly the only thing he is more honest about than his predecessors.

Army. Language. Faith” will destroy Ukraine, I argued with my relatives. I warned that toxic ethnic nationalism, fused with militarization and hysterical Russophobia, would deepen authoritarianism, normalize censorship and repression, and lock the country into a permanent state of war.

Back then, however, I associated all of this with Poroshenko and his camp - not with Zelenskyy.

Not with the Russian-speaking, secular Jew who promised he would “kneel before Putin” if that was what it took to end the war.

Not with the man for whom Bandera was no hero, and the OUN-UPA were those who had “shot Red Army soldiers in the back.”

I could not have imagined, even in my darkest nightmare, that under President Zelenskyy, neo-Nazis would penetrate virtually every sector of the defense and security apparatus; that Nazi collaborators would be glorified at the state level; that entire military regiments would bear their names.

I never believed that the Azov movement would evolve from a marginal fringe into two full military corps, or that men once involved in pogroms against Roma and Vietnamese communities would receive high military ranks and positions of power.

Most of all, I never imagined that I - a Jewish woman and a Holocaust scholar - would become a target of neo-Nazis directed by the security services of a state whose president is himself Jewish.

Today is a day of reckoning for my political choices. I find myself reflecting on what, if anything, I can still do to help undo their catastrophic consequences.

I'm reluctant to cite Wccftech, but there's no denying the Chinese are now trying to ramp up the production of DRAM.

For those who are unaware, DRAM, or memory prices, have skyrocketed from the recent AI boom.

There is a growing awareness among everyday people right now that the elite establishment REALLY DOES consider the masses to be expendable.

It was psychologically convenient to brush aside talk of "depopulation" and "extermination" as groundless theories and fairy tales designed to scare people, but now, as the AI data centers are expanding and taking over the farm land, water supplies, power grid and local political power, people are starting to freak out as they realize they are suddenly powerless to stop it all.

Local governments no longer listen to local citizens. Elections no longer represent the people, and the federal government doesn't even pretend to represent the American people any longer.

Corporate CEOs openly talk about replacing "low-value" humans beings with higher-value AI systems, and NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang openly and publicly talks about how AI systems will need "1,000 times more power" in the years ahead, which means the near-total displacement of humanity from the big picture.

For the very first time in the minds of many people, they realize that people like Steve Quayle, Alex Jones and myself (Mike Adams) were sincere in our warnings and accurate in our predictions. We were trying to save you, not scare you.

YOU REALLY ARE CONSIDERED EXPENDABLE by the ruling elite. They really are working on ways to exterminate you. They see you as in their way... biomass roadkill to be scraped off the pavement of "progress" so they can continue their drive toward AI superintelligence and world domination.

Now, suddenly, there seems to be emerging panic among those who were late to these realization. They are only JUST NOW figuring out they need extra food supplies, off-grid money (metals) and a plan to bug out of the cities to survive as far from the centralized control grid as possible.

I feel sorry for them. Denial worked for years, but no longer. Now human beings are in the crosshairs. You have been scheduled for termination. If you're only just now figuring this out, you're LATE, LATE, LATE! For a very important date, no doubt.

So follow the White Rabbit, because the adventures in "wonderland" have only just begun to be revealed. And it's more twisted and bizarre than you ever could have imagined.

Good luck to all.
