    Too bad China isn't keen on building relations. It could accomplish most of its goals more effectively if it could have profit sharing with other governments or something. As much noise as Americans make about jobs lost to China would blue collar workers shed a tear if their corporate overlords were Chinese rather than American? Come on, China get with the program. Be a beacon of light or something, because the way you're going, whatever your endgame is, it's going to be costly.

    Powell's remarks may be irrelevant to the Hillary Clinton incident, but it isn't irrelevant to getting a picture of how corrupt the politicians really are and the nature of the corruption. The idea is that he was probably enriching himself while skirting the records law and you can expect anyone else no matter what the party coming up to do so to.

  5. I'm not interested with fads. If informing people of the truth is lame, then so be it.I'm not talking about mere trends, except one that has been going around 240 years. Thomas Hobbes said that individuals are little monsters that need a complete authority big monster in a State to keep everyone all in line. University professors teach that Hobbes is a great guy and to go by what he says. The politicians take the lesson to heart that it it expected that people are monsters and not only endeavor to make the big monster in the state, but be little monsters themselves. This means that they cannot allow anything be left in any condition to be used by someone that has a differing opinion on Hobbes' philosophy. This means that in their eyes, there is an obligation to rig the vote.

    An even bigger threat to democracy is that the people in the mainstream media have all been taught the same as the politicians that Thomas Hobbes is a great guy and individuals are wicked creatures that need to be kept under the thumb of Hobbes' State.

    Except politicians and news disseminators are both taught that Thomas Hobbes is a great guy and Hobbes' state is necessary to keep evil individuals, which is all of them, in line, so basically politicians and news organizations' interests are aligned.

    You seriously need to study magic. You are woefully naive about the fine art of vote-rigging. I suggest watching Penn and Teller's Fool Me and Googling the hints they drop after each magician's performance. On top of that, they have the ability to mess with things when all of the tallies are brought together and any number of places between where the votes are cast and the announcement of the final results.

    Of course this is assuming that anybody with any real interest in detecting election fraud is allowed anywhere near the ballots. Politicians generally like their elections undetectably rigged, makes it easier to keep anybody not interested in keeping the masses under the thumb of Thomas Hobbes' State away.

  17. No that's just what the de facto world government wants people to believe to better hide their moves that keep people under their Thomas Hobbes' State loving thumbs.

    Which is where "...while possibly managing to stay within the letter of the law." part of my post comes it. Having permission to act in bad faith is still acting in bad faith. From: http://abcnews.go.com/Politics... talking about his Blackberry:

    "Be very careful. I got around it all by not saying much and not using systems that capture the data," Powell advised.

    So, I'd say Powell was acting in bad faith, too.

  20. Well the same systems get used to spread information and disinformation alike, so probably it should read enhance Russia's ability to construct narratives for an American audience.

  21. Its going to be one of the threads of my ongoing analysis of how the State and Hobbes-Hamiltonian government in particular are bad for America and the world and it would be best if we got to thinking about the human race as one big family and we need to think of individuals that just happen to be bad actors and not humanity as a whole composed of bad people.

  22. Actually the world political system is a little more complicated than that. Russia is not automatically the most strengthened the more the US is weakened. Multinational conglomerates are also more important now than during the Soviet era. Putin has his friends he wants to enrich. You've got the fact that we are living with a de facto world government.The world government is generally operating under the assumption that keeping the world under Thomas Hobbes' Soveraigne's thumb is the way to go.

    So, just to be clear, what Trump meant was her emails that Russia probably already have in their possession because Hillary Clinton doesn't know how to secure stuff. And apparently Colin Powell was a bad actor too. A bad actor being a person acting in bad faith while possibly managing to stay within the letter of the law.
