Behind Closed Doors

Running on "CP" time.

What goes on behind closed doors in Washington is arguably just as questionable as what goes on in front of the public eye. One thing is for certain, though: there is far more at stake in the upcoming election than most of us could ever even begin to imagine. The establishment aims to maintain a facade many Americans are well beyond submitting to. The realtors of the American dream would have us lulled back to sleep, but We The People are waking up, and We The People will not go silently. As the recently released Panama Papers imply: "this sh*t goes deep, real deep."

Speaking of "sh*t that goes deep," the Clinton Campaign has developed yet another clever tactic towards concealing Hillary's fundraising speeches. According to the Huffington Post on April 7, team Clinton turned on a white-noise machine deliberately pointed towards reporters during a "private" yet outdoor fundraising event in Colorado, rendering reporters unable to hear what the presidential hopeful had to say. While telling a police officer that you would prefer that they do not search your car is not necessarily indicative of probable cause, taking the time to deliberately use an audio buffer against journalists outside your fundraiser is downright suspicious, to say the least. It's one thing to speculate as to what's being said, but the more pressing question is why isn't this raising more alarms? Is it not enough that most mass media outlets have already been distinctly one-sided?

Let us take a moment to holistically look at the current election. On one corner, we have Donald Trump against Cruz with Kasich also in toe, and Sanders against Hillary in the opposite corner. While many Americans are currently in the "how did we let Trump happen?" category, one might say of his actions: "After all, He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named did great things — terrible, yes, but great." as spoken by J.K. Rowling's Dumbledore in "The Sorcerer's Stone." Should Trump manage the formerly unthinkable and win the Republican nomination, all Team Clinton would need are shirts, stickers, and billboards that say "Well, she's better than Trump." and the election would be hers. Let us once more put on our tinfoil hats and take a moment to at least consider the idea that this might have been the plan all along, summon a demagogue to sweep the stage in a blaze of robust xenophobia and fear mongering, so that the Corporate Campaign...whoops, the Clinton Campaign...can triumphantly save the day from Captain "We're Gonna Build A Wall."

P.S.

(6:08 ET April 11, 2016) "The New York Times" has just released an article citing that NYC Mayor Bill Deblasio and Hillary Clinton participated in making a racially charged joke at the "Inner Circle dinner." The two made wise cracks about being on "CP" time, which colloquially refers to "Colored People's." So, again, at a dinner called the "Inner Circle" the actual mayor of NYC and Hillary Clinton made a joke about running on "CP time," although the former First Lady went on to suggest that they had meant "Cautious Politician-time." Again, this sh*t goes deep, real deep. It's time to wake up, as we've been seemingly hitting snooze on the alarm for several decades too many.

--as Reddit user 'AStormsABrewin' posted

"This certainly explains the white noise speakers.

Also, here's a joke for you. Two politicians who are currently under investigation by the FBI get up at a secret fundraiser and tell racist jokes!"

P.P.S.

Please take the time to watch the following excerpt from the film "My Dinner With Andre" as shared on Facebook by Anonymous.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
