Truman Show USA – “Concerned Citizens” at Town Hall Meetings are Often Paid Actors
Here’s a bothersome trend that seems quite fitting for the smoke and mirrors driven, celebrity obsessed, hologram society that America has become. A company known as Crowds on Demand is actually in the business of providing fake protesters for causes, fake entourages for wanna be celebrities and seemingly even fake supporters for unpopular corporate activities.

Look no further than a company called “Crowds on Demand“, a company who hires multi-talented actors who are experts of improvisational theatre to provide the illusion of support for a candidate. Nothing draws a crowd, like a crowd.
The company who has provided its services for athletes, artists and fashion people has recently admitted to providing services for both Republican and Democrat candidates.
Ceo and founder Adam Swart was emailed a few questions about his services by activist Ian Cioffi. The company owner was asked if his system is proven to work in U.S. politics?
Swart claimed, he has done work for “dozens of candidates in the US primarily but not exclusively Republican. Mostly they are candidates who suffer from lack of enthusiasm/turnout at rallies and in need of a ‘game change’. The candidates have been primarily congressional/senate candidates. We’ve only worked with one presidential candidate thus far.”
So what other benefits could a company of this magnitude offer?
Adam went on to express that they could even go miles further with their expertise and can give a sense of legitimacy for the candidate.
‘We the People’ Need to Circle the Wagons: The Government Is on the Warpath
In an age of overcriminalization, where the average citizen unknowingly commits three crimes a day, and even the most mundane activities such as fishing and gardening are regulated, government officials are constantly telling Americans what not to do. Yet it was not always this way. It used to be “we the people” telling the government what it could and could not do. Indeed, the three words used most frequently throughout the Bill of Rights in regards to the government are “no,” “not” and “nor.”

“If you’re committed enough, you can make any story work. I once told a woman I was Kevin Costner, and it worked because I believed it.” – Saul Goodman – Breaking Bad “As calamitous as the sub-prime blowup seems, it is only the beginning. The credit bubble spawned abuses throughout the system. Sub-prime lending just happened to be the most egregious of the lot, and thus the first to have the cockroaches scurrying out in plain view. The housing market will collapse. New-home construction will collapse. Consumer pocketbooks will be pinched. The consumer spending binge will be over. The U.S. economy will enter a recession.” – Eric Sprott : 2007 In Part One of this article I provided the background of how our current debt saturated economy got to this point of ludicrousness. The “crazy” bloggers, prophets of doom, and analysts who could do basic math were warning of an impending financial crisis in 2006 and 2007, which would be caused by the issuance of hundreds of billions in subprime slime by the Too Big To Trust Wall Street shysters. Subprime mortgages, auto loans, and credit card lines provided the kindling for the 2008 conflagration.
... The Fed report downplayed the 13% surge in seriously delinquent auto loans in one quarter, from 3.1% to 3.5%. This is just the seriously delinquent loans and amounts to $33 billion. ... In a scathing recent report, The Center for Responsible Lending dismantles the positive storyline being spun by the purveyors of propaganda at the Fed and their Wall Street owner peddlers of debt. ... The Federal Reserve used to report on a monthly basis regarding the average LTV, maturity, and average amount financed for all car loans. They abruptly stopped reporting this info as of 2012, just as the subprime auto boom launched. They have provided no rational for stopping this reporting. The data is readily available and the Center for Responsible Lending details the data in their report. It’s clear why the Fed doesn’t want to provide the data – because it proves how outrageously reckless the banks have become under the Fed’s regulatory reign of nonchalance. ... In Part Three of this article I’ll address the student loan debacle and the coming worldwide debt implosion which will change the world forever.
Politics Explained
Given the rise of DPoS (or something like it) and decline of PoW, political parties are, in my opinion, inevitable. First of all, a political party can represent a single or small group of ideals, making it easy for stakeholders to vote without doing much research. People are lazy and will always seek the path of least resistance; in this case, voting for all members of delegate.libertarian is an easy way to push your own agenda without actually researching every delegate.
I want to get rid of the election cycle ... adding bitcoin to it doesn't change my mind. It's like saying ...

Not so enticing now is it?
Are you SERIOUSLY 'Ready for Hillary'?!
I've been seeing a lot of bumper stickers on the backs of cars lately declaring, "I'm Ready for Hillary!" 2016. That's Hillary Clinton for *president*. Astonishingly (and horrifyingly), these drivers seem to be in earnest. How is that possible? Have these people not even been remotely paying attention for the last 40 years? Please. I beg of you. Before you put this on your car, please do some research. I mean, why don't you just put a bumper sticker on your car that says— #ReadyforGMO - #ReadyforMOREWAR - #ReadyforCorporatism - #ReadyforMoreIncomeInequality - #ReadyforBenghazi2 - #ReadyforLaughingaboutGettingtheRapistofa12-yr-oldGirlOff - #ReadyfortheConstitutiontobeLitonFire —while you are at it?

Minnesota police shut down Libertarian candidate's campaign
Libertarian Party candidate Chris Holbrook received enough support to run for governor of Minnesota, despite local police shutting down his signature-collecting campaign. Thursday, Holbrook was gathering signatures at a public park when police stopped his team from interacting with parkgoers. Holbrook was handcuffed, detained and issued a citation for selling in a public space without a permit. RT's Ameera David speaks to the gubernatorial candidate to get his account of the incident.
