Singularity in Time: Drumpf's reality!
Singularity in Time: Drumpf's reality!
On the one hand it was expected that the New York Post would come to the defense of evil people like George Soros {at least in the mind of right-wingers} without mentioning his convictions and his time when he manipulated currencies that actually hurt whole nations and people. How Vilification of George Soros Moved From the Fringes to the Mainstream
Let me start with a post to a friend:
Soros is vilified because he is effective:
Yes, the reporting was pretty good. Soros' convictions and disfavor with his currency manipulations could have been spelled out also.In a way this passage was a confession of our interactions before, and my feelings towards Soros. Soros also represented everything that Liberals/Progressives were complaining about for years. As noted, they were attacking the Koch Brothers, but it was a currency manipulator and a speculator that had money to influence elections in ways I did not appreciate. This was very much the same feelings that Liberals claimed on hearing the spending of Koch Brothers.
I did not pay attention to to Soros until I got to Thomland, and he was only a counter weight to silly talks about Koch brothers. Researching his various organizations, I could actually see things I agreed with.
But now we are here, and this Drumpf wave points to another singularity. A point in time that can lead to collapse. We see this collapse as the destruction of democratic institutions. A place in time when we have a president that is not only a Machiavellian character but one that proudly states as such. ~~~"I won, thus I am correct."
Back to the article, it brings up Judicial Watch. I use to read them and they always seemed conservative but fair in its presentations. But now they are a propaganda and generator of false data. This trails right to Drumpf as "people say". {The list of conservatives that I use to admire has precipitously dropped to near zero.}
JW is nothing aside from a Drumpf prop, but this shows that organizations fall against the cult of personality and desire to be relevant when facts no longer matter.
Also to contrast that, while no source of information is always correct, Judicial Watch has devolved into propaganda and fabrication of news. Dare I say it? Fake News! There were several examples of this fake news in the article but this one seems over the top:
In at least one case, the attacks made their way into United States government-funded media. The Spanish-language Radio Television Marti network, which broadcasts pro-United States content in Cuba, aired a report in May that is now the subject of a government investigation. The report called Mr. Soros a “multimillionaire Jew” of “flexible morals,” who was “the architect of the financial collapse of 2008.”I can safely say after studying the financial crisis of 2008, that Clearly Soros had no influence and he has never got into those markets to the degree it would take to manipulate trillion dollar markets. I worked in an independent equity research firm, that the financial crisis of course messed with our models, but this also lead us to read 100 page Federal Reserve documents on such events and countless articles.
The post quoted also makes mention of a collapse. While it mostly comes in regards to ecological collapse of systems, my thesis is that they occur when our democratic institutions collapse. This then leads to the collapse of social systems then so goes the environment.
