Is A Trump Coup Taking Place: H.A. Goodman : Georgia Recount ... Pres. Trump Victorious ...
H. A. Goodman sketches out how the Democrats that is the DNC and Dem elites play
dirty as shown by how they CHEATED BERNIE twice - Debbie Wasserman Schultz ,
Hillary , Pelosi et al crowned Hillary as Presidential candidate in Aug 2015
over a year before the end of the primary and before the 2016 Convention.
So
Dems are led by leaders who are unethical and willing to steal a primary or
election in order to win when they could have let Bernie run as Pres. and he
would have won and this long nightmare would not have happened.
Instead of DNC
learning from their mistakes and running a fair primary in 2019 -2020 instead
they doubled down and set up Bernie fighting over 18 candidates and eventually
getting Obama to threaten and stop Bernie and off him a few crumbs if he agree
to stop criticizing US foreign policie or insisting on policies favored by most
voters which the DNC and GOP label thesae policies as Socialism, Communism etc.
when in fact most are adopted in most democratic nations .

Hillary Naive or Playing the Race Card :Ta-Nehisi Coates on Hillary Clinton's Strange History of Reconstruction - The Atlantic
Ta-Nehisi Coates on Hillary Clinton's Strange History of Reconstruction - The Atlantic: How do you diagnose the problem of racism in America without understanding its actual history?
----------------------
"Last night Hillary Clinton was asked what president inspired her the most. She offered up Abraham Lincoln, gave a boilerplate reason why, and then said this:
Yet until relatively recently, this self-serving version of history was dominant. It It is almost certainly the version fed to Hillary Clinton during her school years, and possibly even as a college student. Hillary Clinton is no longer a college student. And the fact that a presidential candidate would imply that Jim Crow and Reconstruction were equal, that the era of lynching and white supremacist violence would have been prevented had that same violence not killed Lincoln, and that the violence was simply the result of rancor, the absence of a forgiving spirit, and an understandably “discouraged” South is chilling.
-------------------------------------------------
Great article which opens up a flood of other racist norms Hillary has touted without batting an eye
such as her " Suprepredators " remark about Black men who are brutes without a conscience a typical racist trope about Black men being more violent and their inclination to rape white women-we can find this disturbing White Supremacist trope going back at least a century and is found in media such the film Birth of A Nation of 1915 which glorified the Southern Cause and celebrated the birth of the Ku Klux Klan - the film helped to revive the KKK for its second birth unleashing hate and lynchings and more White Mob violence -Even President Wilson loved the film and supported the KKK - when Wilson entered the White House he spent time and energy introducing Jim Crow and segregation to Washington- So it was the South which continued to be rancorous from the end of the Civil War to the 1920s to the 1960's to today with a white supremacist Donald Trump in white house which given American History and its citizens lack of knowledge of their own history it is not surprising to many .
The more American History I read the Darker that History appears to be from the American Revolution to the illegal and immoral invasion of Mexico to invading the Philippines and on and on etc. Because they believed God or Providence or the Laws of Nature and evolution gave white Americans the right to rule over those they considered " sub-human " ie Indigenous peoples of the Americas , Blacks, Latinos, Mexicans , Haitians, Cubans , Jamaicans etc.
Yet we are told that America is the only Just society in the world
They claim it is the only true democracy where everyone is equal but the constitution explicitly refers to Black slaves as Property not men or women or persons or even human .
So American Capitalism has its roots in the Institution of Slavery which drove the US economy for centuries from the early colonial period on.
It is because of the defense of Slavery that Americans I believe became more and more obsessed over the idea of property so that property rights trump all other rights when it should be the reverse Human rights the rights of citizens no matter what color should trump property rights or other legal fabrications.
What to do about a problem like Hillary and others peddling Southern Lost Cause False Narratives to an uninformed or disinterested or even racist audience of white Americans ???
----------------------
"Last night Hillary Clinton was asked what president inspired her the most. She offered up Abraham Lincoln, gave a boilerplate reason why, and then said this:
You know, he was willing to reconcile and forgive. And I don't know what our country might have been like had he not been murdered, but I bet that it might have been a little less rancorous, a little more forgiving and tolerant, that might possibly have brought people back together more quickly.But instead, you know, we had Reconstruction, we had the re-instigation of segregation and Jim Crow. We had people in the South feeling totally discouraged and defiant. So, I really do believe he could have very well put us on a different path.
Clinton, whether she knows it or not, is retelling a racist—though popular—version of American history which held sway in this country until relatively recently. Sometimes going under the handle of “The Dunning School,” and other times going under the “Lost Cause” label, the basic idea is that Reconstruction was a mistake brought about by vengeful Northern radicals. The result was a savage and corrupt government which in turn left former Confederates, as Clinton puts, it “discouraged and defiant.”
A sample of the genre is offered here by historian Ulrich Phillips:
Lincoln in his plan of reconstruction had shown unexpected magnanimity; the Republican party, discarding that obnoxious name, had officially styled itself merely Unionist; and the Northern Democrats, although outvoted, were still a friendly force to be reckoned upon … With Johnson then on Lincoln's path “back to normalcy”, Southern hearts were lightened only to sink again when radicals in Congress, calling themselves Republicans once more, overslaughed the Presidential programme and set events in train which seemed to make "the Africanization of the South" inescapable. To most of the whites, doubtless, the prospect showed no gleam of hope.
Notably absent from it is the fact that Lincoln was killed by a white supremacist, that Johnson was a white supremacist who tried to curtail virtually all rights black people enjoyed, that the “hope” of white Southerners lay in the pillage of black labor, that this was accomplished through a century-long campaign of domestic terrorism, and that for most of that history the federal government looked the other way, while state and local governments were complicit.
Yet until relatively recently, this self-serving version of history was dominant. It It is almost certainly the version fed to Hillary Clinton during her school years, and possibly even as a college student. Hillary Clinton is no longer a college student. And the fact that a presidential candidate would imply that Jim Crow and Reconstruction were equal, that the era of lynching and white supremacist violence would have been prevented had that same violence not killed Lincoln, and that the violence was simply the result of rancor, the absence of a forgiving spirit, and an understandably “discouraged” South is chilling.
I have spent the past two years somewhat concerned about the effects of national amnesia, largely because I believe that a problem can not be effectively treated without being effectively diagnosed. I don’t know how you diagnose the problem of racism in America without understanding the actual history. In the Democratic Party, there is, on the one hand, a candidate who seems comfortable doling out the kind of myths that undergirded racist violence. And on the other is a candidate who seems uncomfortable asking whether the history of racist violence, in and of itself, is worthy of confrontation.
These are options for a party of amnesiacs, for people whose politics are premised on forgetting. This is not a brief for staying home, because such a thing doesn’t actually exist. In the American system of government, refusing to vote for the less-than-ideal is a vote for something much worse. Even when you don’t choose, you choose. But you can choose with your skepticism fully intact. You can choose in full awareness of the insufficiency of your options, without elevating those who would have us forget into prophets. You can choose and still push, demanding more. It really isn’t too much to say, if you’re going to govern a country, you should know its history. "

Is Hillary Clinton just naive and doesn't understand how many American Historians in their defense of southern Slavery and White Supremacy have rewritten the history of Reconstruction
so that it's failure is blamed on the North and on the freed Blacks .
Does Hillary buy into this nonsense or does she just give a little nod to white supremacy and The Lost Cause to gain a few votes esp when talking to a Southern audience is she that craven.
Hillary appears to argue that the Southern Confederates and the Northerners at the end of a bitter bloody Civil War which caused the deaths of over 600,000 American citizens all because the South wanted to defend slavery and keep the Institution of slavery viable forever .
Hillary leaves out the reality as if everyone that is the whites on both sides should just hold hands and sing kumbaya .
The South had been defeated and those who fought for the South were part of an illegal criminal unpatriotic treasonous insurrection and many of them shpould have been imprisoned and since Hillary still favors executions for traitors many of them should have in that case been tried and shot instead of being celebrated a few years later as American Heroes - these were people who insisted on enslaving other people that is Black people . Maybe it is difficult for Hillary after supporting the segregationist Russiaphobe Barry Goldwater and spending a decade or more in Arkansas that her sympathies now lie with the South and the Confederacy .

Like other racist Southerners Hillary has erased slavery, lynchings, white Mob Violence, the Ku Klux Klan , Jim Crow and Prison Work Farms and segregation and the South and North's Apartheid system which was not overturned until 1965.
So Hillary's response to these ongoing injustices against Black Americans by helping to institute Mass Incarceration while cutting welfare , food Stamps and public housing while claiming Black men were superpredators while also claiming the USA was post-racial . Hillary and Bill Clinton get especially upset when someone tells the truth about them that two self-serving greedy power hungry white people .
But it shows how clueless Hillary is about the history of race and slavery etc. in the USA
Most historians in recent reject The Lost Cause narrative as being baseless and that even the Mexican American War or the so called Texas Rebellion was also mostly about slavery
because the Newly independent state of Mexico in its constitution and laws abolished all forms of slavery or bondage and insisted that everyone of whatever color or ethnicity were proclaimed as equal (unlike US constitution which enshrined and protected Slavery forever) this upset the Americans and as usual or what became the usual scenario America had to invade and give complete freedom to the whites in Texas the right o own slaves.
as they did in the Philippines , Vietnam, Iraq, Iran, Syria, Libya, Ukraine , Honduras, Guatemala Bolivia, Venezuela ,
Even the America's War of Independence was in large part fought esp by the slave states to preserve the Institution of Slavery and the constitution reflected that as slaves had no rights but were represented as 3/5 s a person as part of the population for State representation in the Federal govt.

She appears to leave the freed Blacks out of her equation -they were the victims for centuries not the Whites
It was the South that started the war in order to maintain the Institution of Slavery and White Supremacy.
In fact it was Southerners who undermined Reconstruction in order
to further the aims of White Supremacy in the form of the Black Codes, Jim Crow, the KKK,
lynchings and segregation.
If anything the North was too soft on the South and allowed those who had fought for and supported slavery and the Confederacy
to be treated as equals when in fact The Southerners and the Confederacy and White Supremacist were
wrong - their Cause Was not JUST and its time Hillary and her Southern strategist accept it as a fact.
Hillary like her " lost Cause" propagandists and pseudo-historians wants us to believe everything was fine before the Civil War and that this that is The Institution of Slavery and the related belief in White Supremacy or Anglo-saxon supremacy was some sort of gentlemen's disagreement . For decades before the Civil War the Southerners and the pro-slavery politicians controlled the Federal govt on foreign affairs which led to the Mexican American War which was brought about by Slave holders and land speculators who wanted to turn all of Texas and much of California etc. into slave states. Meanwhile on the domestic politics the pro-slavers insisting on tougher laws to have Northern states or free states to return runaway slaves and allow Southern bounty hunters into those states to retrieve slaves and that these states must punish anyone helping these slaves -so what about States' rights .

Hillary seems concerned that outsider influence caused the rift in the South but it was white supremacy and the refusal of Southerners to abide by the constitution to give Blacks equal rights and be permitted to vote .
In the 1960's outsiders from the North were invited into the south by members of the Civil Rights movement and if extrapolate from Hillary's remarks and her history she often appears to claim that Martin Luther King and others were too radical and that they and their influential friends from the North were stirring up trouble-this would explain why she was such an enthusiastic booster of segregationist GOP Senator Barry Goldwater in his bid for the presidency
who said : " Extremism in the defense of Liberty is no vice "
Hillary has said that it was President Johnson who did more for Civil Rights than Martin Luther King -thereby diminishing King's importance especially as a Black man
- but Johnson was responding to pressure from Martin Luther King Jr. and his supporters who had been taking to the streets for years.
-It was also Hillary who was and still is dismissive of Black protesters as in #BlackLivesMatter
Hillary appears to have more sympathy for the police than for those people of color killed by police unnecessarily and at times wantonly and sadistically
as mention Hillary and Bill wanted to add over 100,000 more police to the depts across the USA
while they also promoted Private Prisons for Profit
( and of course Charter Schools to dismantle the Public schools )
But she became a Democrat was it in part to take the party back to its earlier form as the party of the South and White Christian supremacy
( as Obama said about Hillary's supporters : " That they cling to their Bibles and their guns"
who said : " Extremism in the defense of Liberty is no vice "

also Remember when Bill Clinton was president he and Hillary ( she referred to Black men as "Super Predators" promoted and passed a series of draconian anti-crime Bills which led to Mass Incarceration
affecting Black and Brown Americans disproportionately
While Clinton was governor of Arkansas he passed a bill adding a star to the state flag to represent the Confederacy ( white Supremacy)
In defense of their friend and Hillary's mentor in the Senate Senator Robert Byrd who admitted to formerly being a member of the Klan and a recruiter

-Bill Clinton claimed the KKK was just a men's club that everyone who was anyone joined and had nothing to do with racism , white supremacy and lynchings and segregation???
So all those lynchings and whippings and burning down Black peoples homes or schools or churches that was just Good Ole boys like Bill and Senator Byrd having fun.
So all those lynchings and whippings and burning down Black peoples homes or schools or churches that was just Good Ole boys like Bill and Senator Byrd having fun.
Does Hillary not know that Southerners were the ones who held onto the past insisting Freed Blacks Know their Place and not be uppity or even dare to vote or expect equal justice or any justice if not they could be whipped , tar and feathered , shot , lynched be tortured and be publicly castrated and then hanged and burned alive - this was something Southerners were proud of they were not ashamed instead it was Northerners who were made to put up with this madness and brutality in order not to offend Southern Lynch mobs and the county and state officials who stood by and did nothing or aided and abetted such activities .
Hillary' s simplistic white Privileged thinking is well in her view these murderers must be forgiven after all it wasn't all that bad and besides they are good white American Christians so somehow give them a break for the Civil War and Lynchings , mob violence and even slavery , segregation they the White Southerners get a pass while Hillary helps lock up even more innocent Blacks to fuel the income for Her Private Prisons for Profit.

Classy Hillary Endorses Pervy sexist Howard Stern:
On the Howard Stern show Hillary trashed Bernie , Tulsi Gabbard and Jill Stein and there millions of supporters as Russian agents, Russian bots or just Useful idiots for Russia If the Russians were so effective why did Bernie Lose ? So do all Hillary Clinton support Howard Stern just because Hillary Clinton was on his show ??? Hillary ignores all of his sexist nasty body shaming comments and reducing women to being primarily sex objects ??? Why don't the women on the View or Rachel Maddow or MSNBC criticize Hillary for endorsing the Pervert Howard Stern Show while criticizing Bernie for being on the Joe Rogan show.
Are these people just hypocrites or do they also support the madness on the Howard Stern Show. I don't watch Howard Stern because of his sexism Show Me Your Boobs Howard Stern - he does this on his show on a regular basis and body shames women - How does this make Howard Stern a good judge of character and why would Hillary support this rich creep. Is that it Howard Stern like Epstein is rich and therefore above reproach -that seems to be the Hillary and The Views way of determining someone as a good character while trashing Bernie or Tulsi Gabbard for not being richer because they are honest actors and not in politics just for the bribes and the fame???

American History of White Supremacy and American Exceptionalism
Studying American History and its underlying beliefs and prejudices it seems since the get go of the American Revolution at the very least White Supremacy lay like a sickness rising to the forefront and then as a disease subsiding into a form of remission or dormancy or to be felt like a mild low level fever which at any moment bursts open into the full blown disease once again.
Americans in general have still not faced their own troubling history brutal oppressive unforgiving nature of racism and White Supremacy . So how can the American Psyche be healed if the people of America especially White Americans are living in various forms and variations of denial and delusional thinking.
Having supposedly been given equal rights at the end of the civil war only to see these rights torn away by legislation mainly at the state level and torn away by force and intimidation and the phony politics of empty rhetoric and false promises .The white liberals claim to care about Black Lives until there is a choice to be made more money for the poor and minorities or more money for war in the end War wins as does the system of incarceration because "war" and " Prisons For Profits " are more profitable than Doing The Right Thing . There is little profit as it were in actual Justice. The American Justice system itself is unjust and a sham and a lie . But the US government and the Press claim the USA a Just and equitable society when in fact it is a racist class based society in which the entire system operates in order to benefit the elites and the oligarchy .
And yet even now after all that has happened since the Civil Rights movement and the Vietnam war and the anti-war movement we are told we must accept the establishments accepted Myths and shibboleths regarding the history of America and even the current militarized nation and empire of the United States as if America stood outside history and beyond the judgement let alone examination by those sceptical about those myths .
After the fall of the Soviet Union the Neocons and Neo-liberals were exuberant in their belief that American hegemony around the globe was now assured and therefore putting an end to history as we know it of conflicting interests since the only important interests were those of the American Empire.
This has not been the case the USA since 9/11 has been involved in Perpetual War.
Now reading the book :
- This Vast Southern Empire : Slaveholders At The Helm of American Foreign Policy by Matthew Karp , Pub. 2016.
( about the control that Slave States and the pro-slavery politicians and White Supremacists had over American Foreign Policy prior the Civil War and beyond )
-----------------------
One of the books I just read included a great breakdown and myth shattering book about the Mexican American War
( about the control that Slave States and the pro-slavery politicians and White Supremacists had over American Foreign Policy prior the Civil War and beyond )
-----------------------
One of the books I just read included a great breakdown and myth shattering book about the Mexican American War
- A Wicked War : Polk,Clay, Lincoln, And the 1846 U.S. Invasion of Mexico by Amy S. Greenberg , pub. 2012.
This book was enlightening and yet disturbing since it exposes how the USA without any justification invaded Mexico in order to obtain more property which it did : Texas, New Mexico, California etc. initially in order to add more property and states controlled by the pro-slave faction . During this war US volunteers acted more as terrorists than a legitimate army as they committed numerous atrocities against the Mexican people - but as we see in that war non-Americans are not seen as human but as Subhuman .
Meanwhile Americans in general are told Mexico started the war which is a lie but that 's most of American history and its present a Big nasty corrupt lie . But the American people in general don't care as long as they feel safe and are prosperous.
This is also a timely book for 2020 as the USA does all it can to provoke a war with Iran as they did with Iraq, Syria, Libya, Yemen, Afghanistan or even as the US sponsors destabilizing uprisings, the use of draconian sanctions and COUPS as in Venezuela, Bolivia, Honduras, Nicaragua , Brazil , El Salvador etc.
It would appear that the USA assassinated General Soleimani of Iran in order to provoke a war with Iran. The killing was a violation of International Law but the USA has abandoned International Law as of 9/11 and refuses to turn back. Just recall that President Obama also bombed weddings, funerals , family reunions and even meeting of local leaders who were not involved in the fighting . As in Mexico in Ira the troops raped and plundered and brutalized and murdered civilians without a second thought which is just what the propagandists told them to do since the propagandists including the American and the Western Media insist on proclaiming all Iraqis ( Iranians, Afghans, Libyans, Syrians, Yemeni , Palestinians , Lebanese are all subhuman terrorists.
To further understand the American psyche I have read a number of other books over the last 35 years or so.
But here are some of the most recent dealing with racism, white Supremacy, ultra-Nationalism , slavery, the US Civil War and how the South managed to turn things around and in the end the White Supremacist and the Confederates won by creating the Color codes, Jim Crow, the Prison Labor Farms, segregation and an Apartheid system to keep black people form exercising their rights to vote or their right to free speech or the right to travel , or to work etc.

To further understand how the Southern States managed to change the whole narrative of the Civil War and beyond we need to understand the myth of the lost cause which suggest firstly that the Civil war was about state's rights and not about slavery . But this was a lie since the leaders of the Confederacy wrote a constitution which gave more power to the central government than to the states . The South wanted the Northern states to help protect the institution of slavery and white supremacy and to allow for a further expansion into the newly settled or conquered areas but the North rejected this and it was the South which then attacked the North.
The South promoted the notion that Black people as African Americans were subhuman and unable to govern themselves which was also a lie but they further demonize Black men as being super-predators whose daily thought was that they wanted to rape white women . The Rape Myth was really a bit of projection since Whites in the age of slavery pre-Civil War could rape any black woman they wanted to and now after the war they lost that privilege though soon enough they would regain absolute power over the freed slaves and this has changed little since even Hillary Clinton and other were once again calling up this Myth calling black men Super-Predators in the 1990s to justify Mass Incarceration which has helped destroy whole Families and neighborhoods by making and labeling millions of Black men felons and as Felons they lose the right to votes and most of their civil rights such as a right to welfare, food stamps, education, housing to participate in politics or even to associate with their loved ones . .
After the Civil War the Southern states just a few years later were passing laws to restrict the voting rights of the freed slaves and restricting their movements through various measures and passing laws so Blacks unlike whites had to show Their Papers to any white person who asked and of course there was the Ku Klux Klan and lynchings by KKK or by mobs - so began a form of incarceration which led to giant prison farms housing over 90% blacks - which lasted through to the 1980s and then revived by the Clintons and Mass Incarceration .
Lynchings continued far into the 20th century til the 1940s and beyond.
In the 1950s and 1960s the Klan and other groups such as the Citizens Committees terrorized Black people and disappeared them or just bull -whipped them in the streets in broad daylight without any repercussions .
Here's some books I read recently like those above this reading list started in July 2019 til today

also see on the roots of white supremacy and the establishment of Racist based or Racial Based laws in the USA ie defining race such as one drop of black blood makes one Black and therefore according to America's Racist tradition inferior to white Americans especially of Northern European descent .
The NAZIS under Hitler were in impressed by American laws on Race which had created Jim Crow Apartheid State and so applied to every aspect of daily life from marriage contracts to sexual relations to the use of public utilities from water fountains to hotels to where Blacks were permitted to live or go to school etc.

#NoWarWithIran - My Verses " Blood Feud "
For a sad sickly tear drenched world as the blood lust rises in the veins of those in power
at first the people may resist but eventually they will come around
and join in the slaughter and blood-letting
as if were just a shadow puppet play
or Computer game in 3d .
Here's some verses I wrote in response to the ongoing Perpetual War:
1. Blood Feud
The days have gone darker
soldiers doing their duty
nations & religions cultures clashing
bombers flying delivering death
buildings exploding bodies torn apart
just another rerun on the tv
another sign of the times
inside the electronic silicon nervous system
streaming through our fevered manic
primitive neanderthal brains
we’ve been here before
sometimes in jungles
sometimes in deserts
sometimes in the streets of cities
like some foreign colony getting uppity
for some life is so cheap
send in the troops
they will fight
they will retaliate
beginning a new cycle
like in a pointless blood feud
a pissing contest
who’s faith is strongest
all for the sake of a name
which does the eternal one prefer
Gods of Rain Gods of Thunder
Gods of storms and floods
Gods of Famine and Gods of the harvest
Gods of Plagues and Pestilence
Gods of Peace Gods Of War
God's fickle and Jealous Gods
God's reborn and God's eternal
Fallen Gods and Rising Gods
God of a nation Gods of a people
Yahweh Jehovah Jesus Allah
Buddha Vishnu Shiva Brahma
Isis Osiris Horus Odin
Krishna Ahura Mazda
god of a hundred thousand names
yet all souls are glimmering shimmering lights
a world of glittering jewels
we have turned it inside out
we are the barbarians
writing a requiem for an empire
the emperor has no clothes
an emperor over-confident
an emperor gone mad
turning the nation into a prison
hearing sad Hungarian folk music
some sad Jewish song
some sad Arabic poetry
all these poets musicians & artists slaving away
in the fields of the imagination
lost in visions of fantasy
coming up against the stone-walls of real-politic
someone says its like rearranging deck chairs on the titanic-
