Schiff: 'Our democracy is under threat' from Trump, Russia
By Brett Samuels - 11/07/17 01:10 PM EST

Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) on Tuesday told The Associated Press that Russia and some of President Trump’s policies are a threat to American democracy.

While Russia poses an external threat, “in many respects, the challenge from within is more serious because we have a president who takes issue with the First Amendment and a president who describes the press as the enemy of the people,” Schiff said.

And I wish someone would tell Schiff that. In fact, I wish everyone could be told that.  I have the feeling that 99% of the voting population believes we have a democracy.

That can be interpreted in more than one way, depending upon one's perspective of "democracy."

My perspective is... one can only hope.

And, people like Schiff encourage that ignorance.

We have a "press"  that *IS* the enemy of the people,  unless you happen to be one of the bi-costal billionaires that like how Washington DC gives away the goodies.

Globalists,  who are masters at manipulating public opinion,  love no borders "one man one vote" global democracy.  In some elections illegal aliens are allowed to vote.


How many here have heard of Edward Bernays the famous propagandist and "father of public relations"  who assisted corporations selling products and President Wilson selling a war [WW1] 

" Bernays referred to this work as "psychological warfare"

" Of his many books, Crystallizing Public Opinion (1923) and Propaganda (1928) gained special attention as early efforts to define and theorize the field of public relations. Citing works of writers such as Gustave Le Bon, Wilfred Trotter, Walter Lippmann, and his own double uncle Sigmund Freud, he described the masses as irrational and subject to herd instinct—and outlined how skilled practitioners could use crowd psychology and psychoanalysis to control them in desirable ways. "

Not at present...  but I was a member for a few years when I was a teenager.
It's the only political organization I have ever been a member of...  and I did
learn a lot.  Now I prefer to fly solo.

That's why when posters here call me a "Communist" I have to laugh.
I understand the real evils of Communism probably better than many
posters... especially the evil horrors of Bolshevik Russia... and I may be
the most anti-Communist here.

The Communist evil social agenda that the atheist Bolsheviks forced on Russia has now been willingly embraced by all Western nations and is now promoted by all Western governments. 

Christian Russians were martyred by the millions for their faith and resistance to satanic Communism... and fought a civil war against the Bolsheviks... before Russia was finally enslaved.

Westerners prefer to peacefully embrace atheist Communist "cultural marxism" and willingly submit to Communist slavery.
