Bait and Switch: Biden Is No Progressive!
by Rich Scheck
Jim Hightower famously said: “The Democratic Party is where Progressives go to die!” Those words seem truer now more than ever with those enthusiastically supporting Joe Biden in the expectation he is a “Progressives” likely in for a big surprise.
As Norm Solomon reported from the DNConvention, the bait and switch has already begun with Joe promising his Wall Street backers to rein in the budget and forego the huge deficits implicit in the Green New Deal Agenda put forth by the Sanders/AOC wing of the party. http://accuracy.org/release/biden-an-fdr-or-deficit-hawk/
For all the peaceniks on the Left who want to see an end to our endless wars, especially in the Middle East, the Biden/Harris ticket leaves little room for anything different from President Trump when it comes to backing all things Israeli.
Both Biden and Harris are avowed Zionists with Joe’s chief advisor on Israel, the former Obama Administration Ambassador to Israel, acting as his point man at the convention.

The “failed Idealists” like those backing a Democratic World Federation or a new political party in the US dedicated to peace are once again left hanging in mid-air with no place to go in the 2020 election.
Two arguably pathological liars are vying to lead the US in its perpetual wars for non-existing peace. The institutional paranoia displayed by independent nations beautifully described by psychologist Roger Kotila continues to produce both on-going conflicts and poor leaders in direct proportion to more spending on weapons and more deadly bombs.
The few journalists paying attention and not abiding by the demands for conformity by those in the MSM have already documented the perverse inconsistencies between what the public saw last week at the DNConvention and the true agenda of its leaders. http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/55494.htm
“Rescuing hegemony” by Democrats pledging to take on Russia and China is as bad or worse as the Neocons quest for Pax Americana promulgated by the likes of Bush and Cheney when they launched their war on terror based on lies against Iraq and Afghanistan.
The unprecedented violence described by Damon and others might lead to WWIII and the destruction of the UN Security Council as described by Scott Ritter: http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/55494.htm
Patrick Martin goes deep into the true nature of the modern Democratic Party by outlining how many members of the MIC are now in its ranks confirming Solomon’s point that it is an “instrument of Wall Street and the Imperialist State!” http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/55494.htm
For those of us tired of being called names for pointing out the similarity between the two wings of the war party and for not hating Trump enough to please those on the Left, these revelations only confirm what we already know: America is an oligarchy run to promote lucrative business deals for the merchants of war and the useful idiots who act in complicity with their evil plans for global hegemony.
Many think that doing the same thing will produce different results if we change the gender and/or race of those appointed team captains for this futile effort for totalitarian control of planet earth, i. e. full spectrum dominance.
Perhaps….but I doubt it. Sanity and the quest for genuine peace must be our inspiration and goal, not endless wars. Getting there from here remains a daunting and elusive task few support and even fewer no how to achieve.
