PravdaMainForum... Denver, CO — The 2016 election has been a wild ride, with two insurgent grassroots campaigns literally giving the political establishment a run for its money. But as the events of this presidential primary season play out, it’s becoming clear the U.S. election — and even more so, the presidential race — is a big scam being perpetrated on the American people. Events from the last week have exposed the system as an illusion of choice and a farce. They have reinforced at least one study showing the U.S. is an oligarchy rather than a democratic republic. The Wyoming democratic caucus took place on Saturday, purportedly to allow voters to have their voices heard in the race between Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton. Sanders lost the Wyoming caucus by winning it with a 12 percent margin. Wait, what? How does one lose by winning 56 percent of the votes? This happens when the political process is, according to the New York Post, “rigged” by superdelegates. The Post summed up this “strange” phenomenon: “[U]nder the Democratic Party’s oddball delegate system, Sanders’ winning streak — he has won seven out of the past eight contests — counts for little. “In fact, despite his win, he splits Wyoming’s 14 pledged delegates 7 to 7 under the caucus calculus. “Clinton, meanwhile, also gets the state’s four superdelegates — who had already pledged their allegiance to her in January. So despite ‘losing,’ she triumphs 11-7 in the delegate tally.” Even media pundits on MSNBC openly called the process rigged: .@BernieSanders wins WY but @HillaryClinton nets more delegates… @JoeNBC: It is a system rigged against voters t.co/C15I9inLAH The superdelegate process is complicated, as we’ve noted before, but they have one essential function: to prevent candidates like Bernie Sanders from winning the Democratic nomination. Don’t believe me? Here’s a video of Democratic National Committee chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz explaining superdelegates: Adding insult to injury, even when Sanders does win states (despite Hillary’s advantage in superdelegates), the media can be reliably counted on to discount Sanders’s wins as nothing more than prolonging the electoral process, which will inevitably elect the presumptive nominee, Hillary Clinton. This pervasive commentary continues despite the fact Sanders only trails her by several hundred pledged delegates. Meanwhile, according to the same media, the non-establishment Trump campaign is threatened every time Ted Cruz beats him — even though Trump leads by a larger percentage of pledged delegates than Clinton does. When Clinton loses, it doesn’t matter because she already has the nomination locked up. When Trump loses, his campaign is in big trouble. Starting to see the problem with the media coverage? When you examine these media narratives, a troubling pattern emerges that goes beyond the political establishment’s self-interest. You begin to see that American corporate media also functions as an arm of the political machine, protecting establishment candidates while attacking — or dismissing — candidates who seem non-establishment. This brings us to the events that transpired during the Republican nomination process in Colorado on Saturday. The Republican Party of Colorado didn’t even bother letting people vote before using arcane rules to strip the democratic process of its democracy. According to the Denver Post: “Colorado GOP leaders canceled the party’s presidential straw poll in August to avoid binding its delegates to a candidate who may not survive until the Republican National Convention in July. “Instead, Republicans selected national delegates through the caucus process, a move that put the election of national delegates in the hands of party insiders and activists — leaving roughly 90 percent of the more than 1 million Republican voters on the sidelines.” Unsurprisingly, Trump’s non-establishment campaign walked away with zero delegates. They were all “awarded” to Ted Cruz. “How is it possible that the people of the great State of Colorado never got to vote in the Republican Primary? Great anger — totally unfair!” Trump said on Twitter. “The people of Colorado had their vote taken away from them by the phony politicians. Biggest story in politics. This will not be allowed!” In an interview on Monday, Trump was even more frank. “The system is rigged, it’s crooked,” he said. The Colorado GOP didn’t even bother hiding its intentions, tweeting — then quickly removing — what was possibly the most honest insight into the back-door dealing so far this election season: The Republican party chooses the nominee, not the voting public. Still in disbelief? Watch a Republican National Committee member explain it better than I can: What we are witnessing — for the first time on a large scale — is the political establishment’s true role in selecting the president of the United States. The illusion of choice has become apparent. The establishment anoints their two picks for president, and the country proceeds to argue vehemently over the two candidates they are spoon-fed. This dynamic is reminiscent of a prophetic 1998 quote from philosopher Noam Chomsky: “The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate within that spectrum.” Ahh, the illusion of choice. Sure, in reality there are third party candidates who should be given a fair shake, but in our mainstream media-augmented reality, third parties do not exist. They aren’t mentioned. They aren’t even included in presidential debates. This is another way the media stifles healthy debate, stamps out dissenting opinions, and preserves the status-quo. “We The People” don’t choose our presidents; they are hand-picked by a powerful group of political party insiders — parties that have long since sold out to the highest bidders. What we have on our hands in America is a rigged oligarchy, and that’s not a conspiracy theory — it’s fact. Now, however, millions of Americans are becoming aware of it thanks to the populist campaigns of Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump. America’s elections are controlled by a big club, but unfortunately, “you ain’t in it!” www.thedailys...e-rigged_042016 Poster Comment: Zharkov... Elections have always had odd outcomes which made people suspect they were rigged but never quite sure how it happened. Now we know how that system works. Candidates are bribing delegates with promises of power positions in the new government, promises of rides on Air Force One, promises of rewards of all kinds after the election if the delegate will be for the candidate regardless of who the voters decided should win. It has been made very clear that delegates can be bought. Elections have a price. There is nothing remotely democratic in the process, it is pure corruption with a democratic cover story. Mario Milano Yeh but this year Trump finally has shown Americans how totally rigged and how much American votes count for nothing...even if the Jew mafia screw Trump on the nomination he has woken up the yanks big time to how totally corrupt and evil the Jew controlled Washington establishment is...and you can bet the Jew media will try to dumb down yanks again... Seriously American states you NEED to SECEDE from the psychopathic criminals in Washington!! Zharkov... The federal government needs to be weakened by some kind of disaster before any state would be bold enough to suggest a secession from the union. The feds have not only one army, not two armies, not three armies, but dozens of armies able to put down a rebellion of a state or series of states. First they would send in the US Marshals to arrest the state governor or legislature for voting to seceeed, and if that failed, an army of FBI, DEA, and other agencies would flood into the state, and if that failed, then the US Army, then if that failed, the US Marines, and before resistance spread, there would be bombing runs on the state capitol by the US Air Force, and by drone attack. Everyone knows how this would turn out. The war against The Confederate States of America, the Waco massacre, the massacre of the Oakland Black Panthers, etc., are indicators of the outcome. The feds will kill as many dissenters as necessary to end the problem. Obama does this every Tuesday in the White House when he "kill lists" terror suspects marked for assassination. We are governed by a bloody bunch of killers. Edited by Zharkov, Mario Milano Yep you are right Zharkov, USA is already a Jew Commie dictatorship! !913 Jekyll Island meeting between Jew bankers and Woody Wilson turned yanks into Jew slaves! There is only revolution left then for yanks to be free!! Zharkov... There are different kinds of revolutions. 1. Armed resistance and street battles; 2. Unarmed resistance and protests; 3. Active and open noncompliance with laws; 4. Passive and covert noncompliance with laws. America is basically at the #4 position today. There are many Americans refusing to comply with a vast number of laws, even to the trivial laws such as having a license plate on the front of the automobile. Many refuse to have license plates on the front of their cars merely for the convenience of police to ticket them or for red light cameras to photograph them. Some people are at #3 on the list, but they are typically dealt with in the same way they did with Adam Kokesh or Gordon Kahl - prison or execution by law enforcement. It would take an economic collapse of the federal government to get to #1 or #2 on the list. I see that coming for the future because there is no way out of the hyperinflation. Economic collapse usually follows hyperinflation. That collapse will be the key turning point in any effort to seceed. There will be no better time than when the US government employees either cease to be paid or find their salaries won't buy enough and abandon their jobs in order to survive. Of course, if Obama allows enough foreign immigration, especially from South America, he could be the reason why we get to #2 on the list, with massive crowds surrounding Congress and demanding the resignations of legislators and their staffs. It happens in South America, so it could happen here. Edited by Zharkov Mario Milano... Something has to give, the Jew mafia shit of ripping off people non stop, The US economy should be the wealthiest in the world but the Jew bankers have transferred all industry to China, Israeli trained cops gunning innocent people in the streets, Jew media screaming how heroic soldiers are but when they return are thrown out in the streets, the destruction of our planet by these psychopaths in washington, the Jew media protecting the Jew mafia that run Washington...this shit can't last....hence why jews have been kicked out of 109 countries...these parasite jews always go way too far! wirehaired... Democracy LOL!! its a joke,seems to me me US politics is like the old shell game,they make the whole circus so complicated the peasants don't really understand whats going on. Tatarewicz: It would take an economic collapse of the federal government to get to...Armed resistance and street battles (Zharkov) Well that was the pattern in the old Soviet Union. And it's really ironic Reagan taking pride for collapsing the Bolshevik Jew dictatorship in the Soviet block. Little did he foresee that once Putin "liberated" Russia from international Jewery's yolk rhe Zionists would simply shift their base of international operations to Washington, the scoundrels just inverting their "hammer& sickle" caps and calling themselves neocons. Also, funny that it takes "foreign" media,in a country that Reagan "liberated," to explain what's going on in American politics.

Tribe honchos own media and those working in media have to follow Tribe rules even if they're not members of it. Current campaign is to find presidential candidates who can be convinced or be black mailed into continuing to have US support Israel.
