Tests in childhood, they develop, those are the people who develop prejudice.  They’re more likely to develop that aspect of hate.  And they’re socially conservative in politics when they become adults….
(Gingrich) He’s playing to the ‘Southern Strategy’ where you have the southern voter gravitating towards this socially conservative ideology.  And here’s how they explain it.  …They say this, structure and order is what these folks are after.  They can’t really comprehend that complicated world that falls outside of structure and order.  So what do you do?  You demagogue them to death.  The less cognitive capacity you have, the more they are attracted they are to simplified ideology.”

CORPORATE POLITICAL ZOMBIES:  Dark Money, Obama Legacy, Robert’s Supreme Court, Citizens (Corporations) United v. F.E.C., Koch Deep State
"Under President Obama, Democrats have lost 900+ state legislature seats, 12 governors, 69 House seats, 13 Senate seats. That's some legacy." ~ Rory Cooper
<<>>
{ To cite the primary multiple causes of Democratic Part decline combine:
ONE, Supreme Court Chief Justice “I’ll Call Balls-&-Strikes” (Indiana) John Roberts’ (A.L.E.C. corporations’ and billionaires’ “photo Voter I.D.” requirement/Law) Crawford v. Marion County (Indiana) Election Board decision, 04-28-08;
<<>>
TWO, the Roberts “designed” (unlimited corporate free-speech)   “Citizens United” decision v. F.E.C., 01-21-10 (for IndyBama’s James Bopp) infusing Forbes 400 Kings and their corporate store-front  attack ad cash into the American political system;
<<>>
THREE, a conservative corporate Nixonian pro-drone and Syrian war, sovereignty surrendering free-trade TPP, and tax cuts for the rich focused Blue-Dog DINO Obama presidency;
<<>>
FOUR, robbing Democratic National Committee resources to finance three presidential campaigns while down ballot candidates races were poorly funded.
<<>>
FIVE, the Robert’s Court’s gutting the 1965 Voting Rights Act in 2013 which magnified Republican/T voter suppression expansion;
<<>>
SIX, the Republican/T Communications Act of 1996, signed by 3rd Way DLC POTUS 42 Bill Clinton, allowed Forbes 400 Kings to buy up/own a 90% share and saturate print, radio and TV markets in America with propaganda.
<<>>
SEVEN, the success of Republican/T Fox News dolt-whispering snakes spewing fear and hate (1996 to present) free on cable venues in all American cable markets since 1996.  ~ IGRPP }

1999-2013, Dr. Ann Case, Dr. Angus Deaton; Middle-Aged, White Americans, 35-64
<<>>
“The major causes of the excess deaths are suicides, drug abuse and alcoholism.” ~ Gina Kolatanov

"The death rate of middle aged white American men without a college degree, men born between 1945 and 1965, has increased sharply over the last decade. That's according to new research by a husband and wife team - including 2015 Nobel Laureate in Economics Angus Deaton."

DEATH RATE:  WHITE MEN The Death Rate among white American men, aged 35-54, is increasing.  Since 1999, the Mortality Rate of 45-54 year olds increased markedly. ~ (Washington Post, NY Times and @guardian articles)
<<>>

{Notes from the Thom Hartmann Radio Show 11-15:
The causes of the rise in early deaths were suicide, alcohol, prescription drugs, and illegal drugs (mostly heroin), not diseases.
<<>>
High Fructose Corn Syrup consumption is upsetting fat and sugar metabolism.
<<>>
In 1987, “Third Way” political strategist, Al From asked Governor Bill Clinton (D*AR) to join him and push through NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement), promising to make him President.
The “social cause” of the pain that caused an increase in the death rate was probably the NAFTA trade agreement that exported good paying manufacturing jobs starting in 1999.  “Most Favored Nation” trade status with China exported more good paying jobs.
From the year 2000 to today (11-2015), the US has lost 60,000 factories (of 500 workers or more).  Most of the job losses are due to the passage of NAFTA and free trade with China.
The average manufacturing job (1999) would be worth $58,000 today.  Half a million white men were likely the victims of the manufacturing job losses.
NAFTA and free trade with China are forces of destruction for the white middle class. }

1. Cannot finance its own government;
2. Dependent of foreign creditors and on money creation;
3. Extraordinary inequality in income distribution (OECD Report);
4. Crooks are inside the government operating against the people …not on the outside operating against the government; and
5. Banks succeed while the economy fails.

Book: “Dreaming War: Blood for Oil and the Cheney-Bush Junta” ~ Gore Vidal
<<>>
“Article 1 Section 8 of the Constitution says that only congress can declare war.  The congress surrendered that great power to the president in 1950 and has never taken it back.  As ex. Senator Simpson, (he was one of my favorite clowns), said so cheerily on TV the other evening, ‘the people of the United States don’t declare war, the commander in chief does.’   So in great matters we are not guided by law, but by faith in the president, whose powerful Christian beliefs preach real faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.”

“In response to things not seen, the USA Patriot Act was rushed through congress 45 days after 911.  We’re expected to believe that  carefully crafted 342 pages were written in that short time.  Actually it reads like a continuation of Clinton’s post-Oklahoma City anti-terrorist act.  The Patriot Act makes it possible for government agents to break into anyone’s home when they’re away, conduct a search, and keep the citizen indefinitely from finding out that a warrant was issued or not.  They can oblige librarians to tell them what books anyone has withdrawn.  If the librarian refuses, he or she can be criminally charged.  They can also collect your credit reports and other sensitive information without judicial approval or the citizen’s consent.”

“Finally, all this unconstitutional activity need not have the slightest connection with terrorism.  Early last month the Justice Department leaked Patriot Act II, known as the Domestic Security Enhancement Act.  As of January 9, 2003, it has not yet gone to Congress, but it has certainly been leaked, from what I saw, (parts of it).  Here’s a provision, ‘If an American citizen, a born American citizen, has been accused of supporting an organization labeled as terrorist by the government, he can be deprived of this citizenship, even if he had no idea the organization had any link to terrorism.  Provision 2 is also made for more searches and wiretaps without warrant, as well as section 201, ‘Secret Arrests.’ …Anyway, that’s how you get rid of the Bill Of Rights in one big sweep.”

JFK, DISASTER PRESIDENT:  Vietnam War; Gore Vidal, Inequality; Revolution
“The founding fathers were not interested in democracy.  In fact, in a country of 3,250,000, which is what we were at the time of separation for England, ahh, only 700,000 people could vote…white males with property.  So it’s never been terribly, ahh ahh, democratic.  George Washington was a famous general who never won a battle.  He was our first millionaire; and he believed in property and the dignity of those who held it.  And they put together a constitution to protect property for all time…no nonsense about Democracy.”
~ Gore Vidal  [min 37:00]
“Gore is someone who’s always at war to save the republic and defeat ‘The Empire.’” ~ Narrator [min 38:15]
<<>>
“Gore suggests that Franklin Roosevelt was, in some way, complicit in the Japanese attack (the aerial bombing of Pearl Harbor Naval Station).  Now that’s been expressed by Gore in a number of essays and interviews and in one whole novel.”
~ Christopher Hitchens  [min 39:25]
“Harry Truman puts is military conscription of every man in the country …something that is practically unconstitutional…and unheard of in peace time.  And were the masters of the world.  I mean this is the greatest con trick ever done.  So Truman militarized the entire society…everything, everybody.  We became a national security state.  And that changed everything.  Men are in Europe forever on the march.  Stop godless and Atheists Communism from dominating the earth.  So it was pursuit of empire really.  And that’s the division in the country, between those who believe in it and think it’s a wonderful thing and those who regard it as a menace.”
~ Gore Vidal  [min 39:55]
“I say they don’t have to conspire, because they all think alike.  The president of General Motors and the president of Chase Manhattan Bank are not going to disagree on much of anything.”
~ Gore Vidal  [min 40:30]
Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan; Israel, Religion In America
“Islam, Christendom, Judaism are the three great evils that have befallen the world.”  ~ Gore Vidal  [min 43:30]
“In the classical world, Greece, Rome, for intelligent people you had philosophy which is about as high brow as you could get.  For the superstitious, you had local gods to whom they prayed…and their prayers, took fairly seriously.  But they weren’t maniacs, as they are today.”
~ Gore Vidal  [min 43:40]
“The lies which our poor people have been exposed to, in my lifetime, are just beyond anything that you think reasonable people could accept…but they did.  And that…that is when I became, Instinctively, a correction-ist.”
~ Gore Vidal  [min 45:55]
“Corporations must pay tax.  They’re not speaking for you, the representatives.  They aren’t speaking for me.  They’re speaking or ARCO, for Mobil Oil, for Northrop, for Boeing for all the people that sent them to Washington.  They’ve been put there by the rich. And this is a country of the rich, for the rich, and by the rich.  And you have a society that is constantly at war with everybody on earth…that doesn’t give a god damn about people who live in this society…that doesn’t give  god damn about education. 
~ Gore Vidal  [min 46:55]
“What we have achieved in the United States is Socialism for the rich, and free enterprise for the poor. …The rich are actually living off of the Federal Government in the forms of contracts and tax breaks and so on.”
~ Gore Vidal  [min 47:15]
“A writer must always tell the truth as he sees it, and a politician must never give the game away.” ~ Gore Vidal quote
<<>>
“For much of my lifetime the American media has been tightly controlled by a handful of Corporations, whose main task since 1945 was to terrify Americans into believing that Russians were coming; and so we needed ever more missiles and nuclear warheads and submarines.  They have had decades to create a false reality for a citizenry largely uneducated by public schools…that teach conformity with an advanced degree, and consumerism.  What then is a true political party?  Well…one that has a base firmly in the interests of a class, be it workers or fox hunters.  Officially we have two parties which are in fact wings of a common party of property with two right wings.  It’s as if a prosperous nation, which we were, had been bitten by a werewolf, the werewolf of Empire…and so became rabid…and then gone mad before our eyes, to the horror of our friends, and of considerable anxiety even to foes.”  ~ Gore Vidal  [min 51:05 – 52:05]
Gore Vidal & Mikhail Gorbachev meeting
“The sense of ir-reality is too powerful in the United States. …I’m pessimistic for the time being.  Because whenever I’m wondering what the United States is up to, I look into my own black heart.”
~ Gore Vidal   [min 53:00]
“We now assume that anything that happens in the world affects American Interests.  Well practically nothing does.  When Bush (H.W.) speaks of the New World Order, he speaks of the American Empire.”
~ Gore Vidal   [min 54:20]
“You must remember that since 1985, we have fought about 30 wars.  Covert, overt, hot, cold…everywhere from Guatemala to Grenada to our big victories in Panama…not to mention Vietnam and Korea which we obviously lost.  I think what we have done is united the Moslem world totally against the United States in particular and the white race, if we can call ourselves that, in general.   By the year 2000, the white race will be only 18% of the world’s population.  We’ve made a lot of trouble for ourselves.  This is only the beginning.  We will wish that  we had not done this.”
~ Gore Vidal   [min 54:50]
911 World Trade Center Attack Commentary – Chris Matthews
“You’ve mentioned already, over 200 military strikes; I didn’t include the CIA…the Bay of Pigs and so on…against other countries without provocation.  When you start doing that arbitrarily around the world, people get very grumpy at you.  And sooner or later, I thought, well somebody, as it turned out, it was Saudi Arabia struck at us.  So I think we had that coming, to the extent that we had been provocative.
~ Gore Vidal   [min 54:50]
“For reasons that I leave to the higher psychiatry, Junior (George W. Bush, POTUS 43) wanted a war in Iraq. (Questioner: Was it oil?)  Yes, of course it was.  And then certainly his boss Cheney did.  But at the same time, Junior is really pretty vague…I mean, you know he just wanted to go bang bang bang bang bang bang bang. (mimicking Bush here)  We gotta stand tall, ya know.  We can’t cut and run. Yeah, you know what I mean.  We’ve had bad presidents in the past, but we’ve never had a god damn fool.”
~ Gore Vidal   [min 56:45]
“They used this catastrophe as a.. or a coup d’état.  This is a well thought out coup d’état.  They already had contingency plans ready, in case of terrorism, violence whatever, which they had inherited from Clinton, who put together some terrible legislation after Timothy McVey blew up the (Murrah Federal) building in Oklahoma City.  It was really made for him (Bush) to call an emergency and pretend it was wartime.  You know, the war on terrorism is a metaphor, and terrorism is an abstract noun.  It’s like a war on dandruff.  There’s no such thing, you know.  It isn’t war!   But using the slogan, they got through the U.S.A. Patriot Act (2001), which removes many of our liberties.  Nobody made a sound when we lost Habeas Corpus, due process of law.  And suddenly Bush managed to get rid of it!  Where was a voice on television, aside from mine, that spoke out against this?  Where are all those noble jurists, those great lawyers, those lovers of liberty, where the hell were they?  They were nowhere!  Now we have a totalitarian government.  And the totalitarian government wants to watch everybody…total surveillance of everyone.  They listen to the telephone conversations.  They look at your credit cards.  They look where you travel.  We’re totally policed…which is contrary to everything in our Constitution!

US PATRIOT ACT: No Debate, Global War w/o End
“Could the tragedy of September 11 be setting into motion a set of events even more ominous than the attacks themselves?
After retaliating against the Al-Qaida network and the Taliban, the Bush Administration speaks of bringing justice to an Axis of Evil countries not involved in the 911 attacks.  All while Osama Ben Laden and company escaped.  Afghanistan has been bombed into near rubble.  Countless civilians have been killed. And millions of Afghans live in refugee camps.  Meanwhile the Middle East teeters on the brink of a major war, as innocent Israelis and Palestinians continue to be killed.  World leaders view U.S. military intervention with increasing alarm.  And international opinion indicates that the U.S. government is more hated than ever.”
  [min 3:45 -4:45]
<<>>
“On the domestic front Congress has passed a feeding frenzy of corporate welfare, pork measures and attacks on civil liberties as special interest stampede to profit from the current crisis.  For example the new U.S. Patriot Act authorizes police and intelligence agencies to spy on any American.  The Act was passed by Congress before it was even completely written…meaning of course that no one ever read it when it was passed.  Fearful of being viewed as unpatriotic, the Senate passed the Act with only one dissenting voice.
<<>>
Compounding the absence of political debate, government officials have intimidated those in the public who’ve tried to raise questions.  Hence there’s been virtually no public debate.  In effect officialdom apparently believes the public should not be allowed to discuss these measures, to know what is really going on or to question government authority.  As a result the Washington unilaterally declares that the new terrorist war must be a global war without end.  With no clear up of objectives, no enemy to be found who is clearly existing, no specified geographical area, and no clear strategy….And since we are now all under government surveillance, apparently it could be any of us.
<<>>
James Madison, the master builder of the U.S. Constitution noted in 1795, quote, ‘Of all the enemies of public liberty, war is perhaps the most to be dreaded because it comprises and develops to the germ of every other.  War is the parent of armies.  From these proceed debt and taxes.  And armies, debt and taxes are the known instruments for bringing the many under the dominion of the few.  No nation could preserve its freedom on the midst of continual warfare.’”   [min 4:55 – 7:05]
<<>>
"Renowned author Gore Vidal rejects the blind 'patriotism' expected by government officials and the mainstream media, and investigates U.S. foreign policy throughout recent history, showing how it has contributed to the terrorist crisis. With his famous wit and insight, Vidal also demonstrates the ways in which the ‘War on Terrorism' is being used to curtail civil liberties and shred the Bill of Rights."

Class Warfare-0333h, INVISIBLE GOVERNMENT: Plutocracy/Plutocrats, Oligarchy/Oligarchs, Forbes 400 Kings; Dark Money; Richest 1/10th of 1%, Cancer Capitalism, Corporate Fascism
Corporatocracy is multinational corporations controlling government as “The Invisible 4th Branch.”  85% of stock is owned by the top 5%;
The 1% prey upon American blind-believers and clannish team jingoes.
{3 “Visible” Branches are: Executive/State Governor & U.S. President; Legislative/St. Legislatures & US Congress …House & Senate; Judicial/St. & US/Federal Courts back-stopped by 50 St. & 1 US/Fed Supreme Ct.};
<<>>
"Edward Bernays, the founder of the modern propaganda industry, described the process:
Those who manipulate the unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government. We are governed, our minds molded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested largely by men we have never heard of ... in almost every act of our lives ...we are dominated by ...persons who understand the mental processes and social patterns.... It is they who pull the wires that control the public mind."
"A substantial majority in the US have been so overwhelmed by the consumer/celebrity culture that distracts from the real situation that they are now fearful of harboring a critical thought, let alone speaking critically about the surrender of democracy to the wealthy elite."
