Shot them selves in the foot ( Self inflected wound )

 It will be a year to keep our Eyes open and a good sense of humor

             Gerrymandering has been used for decades to manipulate Voting districts allowing like minded people to maintain control of large areas with out having the voting majority in those large land areas. This really Works well to circumvent democracy for The house of representatives.. But for national elections where one Man one vote Applies Democracy wins out. This very tool (Gerrymandering) has limited the ability of these like minded people to win a general election

             In the last few years certain Groups Have subverted Democracy by blocking Vote count and Blocking Voters. Our current elected president remains in office because of a system created by our founding fathers who thought beyond their short life spans. In this coming election cycle efforts will made again I am sure to subvert our free and open elections..

             It may come to pass that this progressive nation will cease to be as we know it and move in the direction envisioned by those such as the Koch Brothers.. But not in our life times, through education in what has gone before we as a nation can stay the path.           

That six hundred pound Gorilla Is??????

                  In My Last post I talked about who trained and Supplied the current enemies of our nation...It was us.... The army that was Iraqi Sunnis did not throw down their Arms and Walk away from the battle field they changed the uniforms the flags on their tanks and Humvees Joined with the Sunnies from Syria........An America Trained Army  
 

Please open your eyes

   

       The 600 pound Guerrilla in the room is obviously invisible.. The War between the Shia and the Sunni heats up and Muslims lash out at all around them. Funded in this insanity, funded by the very wealthy oil states. The national religion of Saudi Arabia is Wahabism Sunni and in the cold war we (the US) used this fanatical religion in Afghanistan to fight the USSR. These Saudis were, are the al qaeda . A group forged by the CIA. Another stupid assumption is the ISIL fighters who are also fallowers of wahabism and Sunni were lowly people of the desert unschooled and unsophisticated, however somehow are schooled in the use of all the tools of warfare hightec rockets, tanks ect.      
            Using proxie fighters to fight wars came to the forefront during the cold war The US and The USSR linked to nations to fight that war for them
             Most of the nations in the world seem to stand spinning in circles. We the (US) are on the same side that attacked us on nine eleven ( All the attackers were Wahabi ) On the other side are the Shia, the majority of the people around the Persian Gulf Including Iran.... Are we fighting this Holywar for the very same people who are our enemies?
