I am a woman and I should be very excited, but I feel so conflicted.
I was hoping it would be Bernie Sanders. Now I am more scared than ever that Mr. Trump -if he indeed will be the Republican nominee- will become the next President of the United States of America.
“The internet has become a carefully controlled and heavily monitored illusion. It has turned into both a circus and battleground. Popularity is rigged and can be bought. Censorship is in full effect. Popular opinion is fabricated, and the perception of a viewpoint’s popularity is typically orchestrated and manipulated by legions of paid trolls. If you want to know the truth about somebody’s true popularity and influence, look to the streets. If you want to know if a person is really guilty or innocent, study the facts yourself. Never judge anybody based on what you see or read on the internet. Information can easily be manipulated by the push of a few buttons.” (Suzy Kassem)
I remember the time when we got our first TV in the 70’s. It was a showcase, a decoration piece in our living room; we only turned it on in the evenings. There weren’t too many channels back then, we had ORF I and II, the Austrian TV stations, we could get the German channels ZDF and ARD on clear days and we watched Rai the Italian TV station.
Another cowardly attack in Europe, this time in the center of the European Union in Brussels. Once again my heart is saddened and my European soul is crying.
The Nachrichten Magazine “Der Spiegel” posted an interesting article about Trump today and with their friendly permission, I would like to post it here on my blog, because they nailed it…our media failed.
Forbes writer Clare O’Connor? “Dummy.” AP reporter Jill Colvin? “One of the truly bad reporters.” CNN Journalist Sara Murray? “Absolutely terrible.” Arianna Huffington? “Liberal clown.” Fox moderator Megyn Kelly? “A bimbo” with “blood coming out of her wherever.”
I went grocery shopping the other day and I noticed the ladies right after I entered the store. It was a small group of women and I watched them as they were pushing two carts, they were shopping together. They talked with each other in a language that I couldn’t understand. They were refugees from Africa. I don’t know where exactly from.
My Grandfather died 1963, just a few months before I was born. We never met, but I know him well. His pictures were everywhere in our home and my Grandmother talked about him a lot. She made sure that he was present, even though he wasn’t around.
I would have never thought that would ever give a republican a standing ovation in my workroom, but I did. I did today, just a while ago.
Well, I work standing anyway, so it was maybe not a standing ovation, rather than just a heartfelt round of applause.
Looking around and watching the news, yes, I know what the author was thinking. This world is truly hell for so many -too many.
Either the United States will destroy ignorance, or ignorance will destroy the United States: a prophetic quote from W.E.B. Du Bois, who was born 148 years ago. He must have had the 2016 U.S. Presidential election in mind when he wrote that.
