Trump’s Unholy Alliance – (Full Version)
Above is our short documentary film, “Trump’s Unholy Alliance.” Generous individual donors funded it. It is not associated or aligned with the Democratic Party. It is released for educational purposes because mainstream media mostly ignores these critical issues. We are not suggesting how, or even if, you should vote.
Paul Jay is a veteran independent journalist and filmmaker. He is best known for his film “Hitman Hart, wrestling with shadows,” which Jordan B. Peterson called “one of the best documentaries about anything I have ever seen.” Terry Bollea (Hulk Hogan) said the film is “brutally honest. A must see.” This is not to suggest that either gentleman endorses “Trump’s Unholy Alliance.” On the contrary, we expect they would both disagree with most of what you will see. Watch and judge for yourself.

Trump’s Unholy Alliance – Risking the Apocalypse for Dollars
In this essay, Paul Jay unravels the alliance of tech billionaires and religious zealots behind the Trump/Vance campaign and their plans to build an American “Iron Dome,” a new ABM system that threatens nuclear war. This exposé reveals why Silicon Valley tycoons like Peter Thiel and Elon Musk are bankrolling a Trump/Vance ticket that promises to make voting obsolete and impose a religious techno-authoritarian state. Does this represent the teachings of Jesus?

Hitler Wouldn’t Risk Doomsday, But The United States Did – Daniel Ellsberg on RAI Pt 2/13
Hitler ended the German nuclear weapons program in 1942 when told it could end life on Earth—the Americans were willing to take the risk; since the end of WWII the Cold War was to a very large extent, from beginning to end, a marketing campaign for subsidization of the aerospace industry, says Daniel Ellsberg on Reality Asserts Itself with Paul Jay. This is an episode of Reality Asserts Itself, produced October 31, 2018, with Paul Jay.

Seeking Full Employment Without Falling Prey to Neoliberal Traps
William Mitchell exposes the many ideological maneuvers progressives need to confront in disputing the supremacy of profits over employment and people’s dignity. That goes for disciplining the state to appease foreign exchange markets, the problems with Basic Income proposals, and much more. Lynn Fries interviews William Mitchell on GPEnewsdocs.
I suggest Mr Ferguson reread Mike Moore’s Stupid White Men on Bill Clinton being the best or worst republican POTUS America never voted for, before trying to alibi the duplicitous , absolutely corrupt , and perhaps senile Joe Biden as Americas white knight.
Voting is of little importance and has been since our defeat in Vietnam , when CIA and the the various deep state entities controlled by unelected elites decided that guys like Carter , Nixon , and Kennedy were unreliable and began openly fixing the results. These days the SCOTUS, and Electoral College are the primary tools , supplemented by electronic ballot rigging , voter suppression , and gerrymandering of districts . Whether Trump or Biden sit on the now mainly ceremonial POTUS throne is truly immaterial to the global elites that now rule most of the planet.
The characterization of today’s (since 2009) QEs as “Keynesian” stimulus is incorrect. If JM Keynes were alive today, he would be vociferously denouncing the Fed and the Treasury as irresponsible. Keynes, in his 1936 treatise, “The General Theory of Employment, Interest, and Money”, urge federal borrowing when there is growth stagnation and high unemployment. Its object was the stimulation of aggregate demand by putting people back to work. Keynes saw this as the singular responsibility of the federal government, because private investment in times of GDP stagnation is discouraged by the wide perception of unacceptable risk. Only the federal government can provide the needed employment stimulus . This is very different from increasing the reserves of the major banks so that they and their privileged borrowing corporations can help themselves in the stock market rather than invest and increase employment. That is not Keynesian stimulus.
I can think of no person who was and is still detested as much as FDR by his own capitalist class as was JM Keynes. If Keynes had been in charge at the Bretton Woods conference in place of Harry Dexter White, an agreement could have been made that might have avoided the domination of the postwar economy by the US and the ultimate breakdown of the gold standard (1971). If Keynes had been heard after WWI, the Versailles Treaty would not have set the stage for WWII. He was a profoundly far sighted political economist and one of the key intellectuals of the 20th century, as recognized and celebrated by Bertrand Russell in his “History of Western Philosophy”.
Great post I heartily agree.
