My heart has been with the Sanders participants in the Nevada State Democratic Convention of last weekend, and is aching for this nation.

These folks are clearly honest, sincere and devoted citizens who care about our nation and attempted to participate as citizens and to represent others. They were, given what they were up against, remarkably poised. And I can only imagine the terror this has inspired in them as American Citizens attempting to participate in Democracy.

According to myriad online accounts published, (one example would be Erin Bilbray’s online account: another is online by the woman published yesterday, whose film of a lifted chair was most selectively edited by the media, without her permission, and instantly circulated). Another film of Barbara Boxer blowing kisses at Clinton supporters while leaving the building, not looking fearful at all. In fact she looks delighted.

And there are written and filmed accounts by others. It is my understanding that these are people who attended the convention in good faith, representing voters in the wider community, (who were not able to attend), and went through a full working day and overtime; hours of exclusion, disrespect, frustration, and even physical discomfort on behalf of those they volunteered to represent: multitudes of other citizens.

It certainly appears to me to have been carefully orchestrated: both to exclude a large block of voters, but also surgically planned to exploit their justifiable outrage at nearly sixteen hours of this sort of manipulation in a so called “democratic” forum, for a media blitz feeding frenzy: with no actual reporting. Here is what I have come to understand about the events of that day:

• These participants arrived for the time they were told they were to arrive; only to discover parking areas already filled with cars, later learning that one candidates’ supporters had somehow been briefed for an earlier meeting and time.

• This group of participants in the DNC, were further delayed in long registration lines, only later learning that a large block of them had their names erased from voting roles and party registration, and were being denied participation, despite previously established credentialing through the DNC, and needing to spend extra time advocating for their own voting status or trying to.

• Meetings were already taking place where all manner of rule changes were arbitrarily enacted. Those meetings were essentially closed to this manipulated and disenfranchised block of participants, who would only fully learn what occurred as the events of the day unfolded: realizing the full import among themselves as a group at end of the day. It would be difficult to see the pattern of deliberate confusion and disenfranchisement as events unfolded, until much later.

• Petitions were circulated, but only first among one group, the special group, and then collected abruptly. Some applicants were given a short time in which to collect many signatures: they did: and a vote was still denied. This was especially poignant for younger voters involved in Democracy and willing to serve.

• Even basic human needs, like the availability of bathrooms; some were reported as mysteriously closed, forcing discomfort and long lines; more time away from the floor. Water was reported to be available in short supply, and at extortionate prices. Even indignity and physical discomfort seem deliberately planned.

So the roster of events was manipulated over a very long day of discomfort and disenfranchisement. These Bernie Sanders voters, representatives of many other citizens, are members of the party, and were treated with abject abuse of process over many hours time, with an escalating pattern of manipulation throughout the day, from the accounts that have emerged. Little of this is being reported in the corporate media in any balanced way..

• And after all of that, a long term Senator, who coincidentally is a family member of the candidate whose constituency was receiving advantaged treatment, bumped the other Senator (notably a woman of color) from her place in the order of final presentations, and behaved in a condescending and incendiary manner, (toward people who had previously trusted her as a party member), who had been deliberately frustrated at every attempt at full participation for perhaps as many as sixteen hours. It appears that this too was planned, to put Ms. Turner in as awkward a position as possible before her own talk (and of course her skills are impeccable). With a posse of twitter feeds lined up in advance to mischaracterize the event. And she is not a member of the Clinton family. She is a stellar, accomplished woman and from a far less advantageous beginning than Ms. Boxer can claim.

Certainly Boxer’s dual relationship with the Clintons made this a dubious professional appearance for her, but dual relationships and the resulting ethical quagmires are a hallmark of this entire campaign and era in government by dynasties, with special powers for family members and lick-spittle cronies. Not objective assessment of real Democracy.

• A Minority report, usually given, was summarily excluded and even the courtesy of a vote count denied. It appears that was no action of an individual: this seems clearly coordinated. It is very clear that other officials who appear to have ear pieces in some of the film footage, were advising the chair. At least it looked that way when I watched the films.

A former U.S. Congressman and Hillary Clinton’s supporter ripped up his Clinton ballot and left the meeting in disgust: some Clinton supporters had the grace to stand with principle, beside Sanders supporters, and shared their disgust. Hopefully they will not be in fear if they testify for legal hearings in possible court actions.

• From everything that has emerged in accounts online and films by eyewitness participants at the event, this seems fully intended to escalate outrage at the meeting just so that it could be plastered all over the biased media: all actions leading up to that ending appear to have been carefully orchestrated to make the experience as unpleasant, unfair, disrespectful and abusive, (even physically), as possible:

• And the waiting lone reporter on hand could mischaracterize the response of the scapegoated and disenfranchised group to the final culmination of indignities. A lifted chair, which was quickly set down following intervention by SANDERS supporters: the immediate appearance of a phalanx of police hired and at the ready for the photo op and subsequent mischaracterization. Now Boxer, without disclosing her dual relationship, or any of the other events is hogging the limelight talking about her “fear”: while silencing and smearing the real victims. Every day people, trying to participate in the increasingly limited role they have in government.

• Film was then selectively edited, then blasted over the airwaves to the salivating and captured media, ( who coincidentally came into their current existence through legislation passed by the Clinton regime, fostering monopoly ownership: who “coincidentally” contribute heavily to her campaign.) It certainly appears that they were fully hoping and planning to arouse violence.

The martinet who enacted and presided over all of this ended with her angry bang of the gavel, which was a gesture of violence toward the people in the room: she is all over the news with further accusations.

No one is investigating those, but its easy to see Mook’s hand in this . . . the so called threatening callers, uniformly male and crude to fit the “Bernie Bro” crud developed by the Clinton campaign, likely hired to leave messages to play on airwaves of the bought and captured media that passes for journalism. (If you’re in a Bernie Sanders Facebook group, you’ve likely seen the tactics: child pornography; recipes on how to make explosives from glow sticks, and the endless comments and lies being sent around.)

These operatives are passing themselves off as “Bernie Supporters”. So it seems plausible that Mook himself published this woman’s personal information, just to stir things up. Its been going on all along. We are told by Mooks online hacks that “we don’t need your votes”.

It is not a campaign: in fact it has been one of the least inspired, most tepid in modern history: a first woman president who is running on “what he did” and lining up her husband and Henry Kissinger.

They give the appearance of investing more in psy-ops than in campaigning. And she is focusing her attention on donors: domestic and foreign. They appear to be her real constituency.

THIS IS PSYOPS on the American Public.

This is an early precursor to the mess in the Middle East: divide and strip out assets: extract “value”.

Both “candidates” are exposing comfort with genocide: Clinton in her cozy relationship with Henry “genocide is necessary” Kissinger: Trump with Naziism and the KKK. The ruthlessness campaign for Oligarchy blessing is the real contest.

And innocent citizens, frustrated at being treated badly in trying to participate as voters, can be slandered and defamed by a massive media operation to manipulate appearances for one candidate.

The presence of that thinking in both sides of a U.S. election is appalling.

Boxer’s melodramatic“ fears” are utterly ridiculous in the face of what many citizens see in this. Just ruthless Kabuki theatre for her, but real human beings who were earnestly trying to represent their constituencies are subjected to mistreatment for hours and then exploitation for lies in the media.

There is no longer any recognizable Democratic Party: there are two GOP parties financed by the same donors. WE the people lose with either “frontrunner”.

They are playing us. We are openly told online by Mook operatives that “we don’t need your votes”. Given the enmeshed relationships with voting machine manufacturers by both parties that seems to be true., We have a captured media.

THIS IS PSYOPS on the American Public.

WE have little functioning media left and it is a personal weapon against individual citizens?

IT is one party: CLINTON/TRUMP

With the same goals and the same backers.

Its an audition for backers: not a campaign for our votes.

And one truthful, principled man is standing up against all of this.

He has a lifetime’s history of standing up for important principles.

He has nobility that cannot be bought, or feigned.

The world knows and is watching.

He is willing to risk himself in the name of Democracy.

He campaigns the name of principle.

So do his voters, as evidenced by citizens standing for others in a travesty of process and being unfairly vilified by a corrupt and enmeshed media in the hands of monopolies.

The world is aware of this and they are watching.

We can have a real election with a real Democrat, or we can vote for more and more and more psy-ops enacted against ourselves and humanity.

Donate, phonebank, canvas and vote.
