Free Parking Sept 19 2018 - Manafort Guilty Plea

http://eureka.news/free-parking-49/

Paul Manafort’s guilty plea to conspiracy against the United States laid out his scheme to steal the 2008 Ukrainian election where he installed Putin’s man, Yanukovich. It was simple and effective: Accuse the female politician of crimes she didn’t commit and install a puppet to remove Russian money-laundering/human rights sanctions.

Court documents show that Manafort used media, including Robert Mercer’s Breitbart News, to plant false murder conspiracies against Yulia Tymoshenko, a staunch human rights defender. Manafort’s job was to politically destroy Tymoshenko and make Viktor Yanukovych’s real corruption palatable enough to be overlooked by Europe.

Fast forward to 2016 and Manafort’s same smearing techniques were used by Trump’s campaign against Hillary Clinton. Putin detested Secretary of State Clinton because of her fierce advocacy for human rights. He didn’t want her as president and spent time, money and immense energy to put his puppet, Trump, into the Oval Office.

We are living under a fake president who is being given all the authority and honor a real one would receive. He has made a mockery of our Constitution and called our White House a dump. He has created division among Americans and sullied our message of inclusivity so completely that we should give the Statue of Liberty back to France.

A recent NBC town hall featured young people representing various segments of society, and many discussed their immense scorn for the election process. Rather than becoming educated about candidates’ policies, they felt a need to be “inspired” to vote. They felt Hillary Clinton, the fully qualified, first woman candidate for president was “uninspiring,” and didn’t vote.

Free Parking September 12 2018

Even though research says we can't reach the 32%, but I keep writing to the issue.

Here's to ripening fruit from the Mueller investigation. 8 out of 8 guilty pleas so far.

For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Mark 8: 36

This profound question deserves an answer. Today as we look at the political world that governs our very lives we see legislators who willingly sell our liberty for their own profit. As I write this, we don’t know if Brett Kavanaugh (age 53) will be given a lifetime appointment to our highest court; but through true political courage, we are learning what kind of man Brett Kavanaugh is.

Mercifully, not every senator is for sale. Senator Cory Booker put his political career on the line by telling the truth; Republicons were hiding Kavanaugh’s true biases by labeling them “confidential.”

Contrary to Kavanaugh’s sworn testimony, his true beliefs are now known: birth control is abortion; EOE is just set asides for minorities; Roe v Wade is up to new interpretation. Even more alarming and damning are emails he wrote stating he knew he was circulating stolen Democratic senate staffers’ documents to Republicon political operatives.

What we now know: Brett Kavanaugh is cravenly, nakedly power hungry and he lies, cheats and steals to get what he wants. What he wants is power over others. He wants women, all races, all colors and LGBTQ to bow down before him and his white brethren; and as the majority SCOTUS vote, he will get it. What we will get is the doo whack-a-doo.
