I read a lot of news from different sites, unlike many these days I like a true perspective and not regurgitation of corporate tools….one I read regularly is France’s Le Monde and recently I read a great article about the 2016 elections in the US…..
Berlin’s Reichstag was rebuilt with a glass dome, a symbol of transparency following the nightmare of two totalitarian regimes. So it was fitting that in May — as President Barack Obama travelled to Europe to sell a Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) drafted in consultation with corporations and not the public — that leaked TTIP documents were projected onto the Reichstag by Greenpeace activists with the headline ‘Democracy needs transparency’.
Why is TTIP, the neoliberal free trade treaty that America is aggressively pushing in Europe, so non-transparent, and apparently undemocratic?

This election will be the worse one in US history (maybe that is a bit of a stretch but it sounds good) the losers no mater who wins is the American people….the humorous part is they f*cked themselves……
And on that cheerful note…..

You can even be on the White House Email distribution.

I do it to stay informed … I like to know both sides of the equation.
Everyone should feel the same way….the only way to make a rational decision…
