About Yesterday’s Post

by Scott Creighton

Yesterday I was angry and frustrated and took it out on you guys when I shouldn’t have and for that I’m sorry.

I recently discovered The Sanders Institute which is billed as a “progressive think tank” made, according to Jane Sanders, to help young, progressive thinking people see the world as it really is. Or at least, that’s what Jane said during an interview with the Young Turks at the “People’s Summit”

So I went over and took a look at this thing’s website and this is what I found under their “foreign policy” header:

• a video from VOX about the Syrian “civil war” which says “the brutal dictator” Assad attacked peaceful protesters in 2011 to kick the whole thing off and goes on to say he’s used chemical weapons against his own people on 4 separate occasions. Also says Assad started Free Syrian army with prisoners and Erdogan created “ISIS”
• an “emergency fact sheet” about Syria giving a bunch of “facts” about the situation… put together by USAID
• a brief “overview of North Korea”… put together by the CIA.

Everyday that old piece of shit gets closer and closer to becoming a full blown Likudnik. He’ll be campaigning with Rita Katz and David Horowitz pretty soon if he keeps this up.

And yet, this is what passes as “progressive” thought these days and it’s gaining momentum.

The Sanders phenomenon is huge right now. His wrinkled, lying ass is everywhere. He is the picture of “progressiveness” yet… this bastard pissed all over his own supporters, took their money, let Hillary screw many of them out of their right to vote and then screwed ALL of them out of their right to the representative they wanted to run against Trump… and then ran around campaigning for her… and now we got Trump… while he lies endlessly about Russia “hacking” our democracy.

And he backed every brutal, bloody, murderous regime change op the Clintons ever did and the IDF while they bombed Palestinian children in Gaza… three times… killing thousands.

I mean, with all that, and I go over there and look at that disinformation website put out by little miss Sanders and realize folks are POURING contributions into the damn thing to go along with all the cash they are probably getting from USAID and the CIA… and apparently the Mossad…

I think about all the support for the Young Turks who get paid to promote Hillary Clinton and lie to their audiences as well about pretty much everything of consequence including Russia “hacking” and Syrian “dictators”…

I see that fucking interview with Di$info Jone$ and David Horowitz with him getting on his knees kissing the Israeli ring of power and think about all the support that shit brings him…

Then I came back here and my article on the growing attack on real progressives and left-leaning folks has zero comments… and my donation drive at the time had generated a total of 25 bucks.

So yeah… I blew a fuse.

Maybe the people of this country want to be fascist.

Maybe they want liars to tell them there are weapons of mass destruction in every little defenseless country that doesn’t do what the masters of the universe want them to SHOULD be regime change for “humanitarian” reasons.

Maybe people want to believe that jet fuel causes steel framed buildings to collapse like a controlled demolition and it’s perfectly normal for grieving family members to giggle before coming up to the microphone 20 hours after their loved ones are shot to death.

Maybe people actually think BDS is antisemitic just like Bernie does.

You would think that if money really is speech.

You would think that if you fell for that sort of thinking like I did for a few minutes yesterday.

I’ve been at this now for 10 years and at the start I never expected it to be as successful as it has been. I NEVER wanted donations back then, didn’t need them. Didn’t ask. Times are different but I’m not, at least I hope I’m not.

People support this site in many ways and for that I am eternally grateful. Some can afford to help out financially, some can’t and I hold nothing against anyone.

I do what I do because I have hope that our way of thinking will not die off, that we wont be assimilated into their corporatist, neoliberal, “free market”, fascist way of thinking. That liberal, progressive ideology will continue and thrive.

I don’t do it because I expect to be compensated.

Yes the other side has infiltrated us and is flush while we aren’t… but that is the nature of insurgencies, isn’t it?

Yesterday I was simply overwhelmed for a moment. It gets to you. But I shouldn’t have let it get to me. Shouldn’t have taken it out on you guys.
