    George Soros, alongside his sons Alex and Jonathan, has long been one of the largest megadonors in Democratic politics, Kamala Harris has more billionaire donors currently than Trump…..No matter who you vote for the Corporation always gets in……and they hate you…

    Barbarian 7th century ideology awakened, practiced and ADORED by our so-called CIVILIZED world!!! Our colleges, universities, elites, HOLLYWOOD, journalists, all adults who certainly no better. The biblical words, Man is deceitfully wicked above all things surely fits. We are in the age of self-righteousness and SAVAGERY!!! They knock on our doors 24 hours a day by way of the WWW. We feel safe,,,,,for now!!!

    I just don't think that saying 'from Palestine to the Mediterranean Sea' will make Palestine free. What they forgot to say is that all Palestinians believe that Jewish people should be dumped in the Mediterranean Sea so they will drown.

    Shame on cornell. shame on the democratic party. And shame on the parents who waste their hard earned money letting these leftist ultra liberal schools brainwash their children.

    People like Phoebe Brown need to be in political office, not Hochul.
    1:19:40 and that's why we need 10x more House Seats. One Representative shouldn't need to try and represent urban an rural and suburban and industrial constituents. They're supposed to represent a tight, small group. 10x more House Seats.

    Looks like the bots are out in full force. Most of them can’t come up with anything idea that the right has done to help normal Americans. Most of it is just fear and taking money that doesn’t belong to them. All the while calling average Americans with moderate leftist ideals “regressive” or “out of ideas”. Yeah like dividing Americans and calling them “regressive” and “stupid” will get anyone to like you or even vote for your party.

    If you stand with oppressed people everywhere then you must stand with Jews also. Jews have been oppressed all throughout history. As for Palestine, that was made up by the Romans to spite the Jews. Know your history before you start talking about it.

    1:24:16 finding out in my old age that I have autism and ADHD and dyslexia, was sort of the reason why I didn't do so good in school with paper books. Having audio books getting me very hungry for information and learning, and then finding the Kindle app where I can make the word so big I get one sentence at a time I can burn through books. For the masses your paper is great for some of us it needs a change up and digital technology is good.

    1:27:47 surveilance pricing, the genie is out of the bottle on that I'm afraid. When new tech gets hold on something immanently successful, Business never ever lets go of it! Just like, when taxes can be increased they never go down.
    Maybe if you could tax stores more if they use this, it would have some effect.
    But if they just charge extra on top of individual pricing, consumers might rebel against tax policy, not corporate policy? Because fighting corporate taxes is even harder than fighting city hall?

    1:23:37 Ed tech- yes yes yes! I had a chemistry teacher or two, that required us to do the math, stoichiometry, and show our work! The old fashioned way. Sounds a lot more conservative, than the conservatives today! They were totally against even bringing a TI 85, or 95 calculator to class tests. I've heard that previous generations had to learn logarithms by rote, I'm glad for that one being abolished in favor of a slide ruler! But using Chatgpt on a test could still pass a student who cannot read English! let alone do basic math. If this is the future of pharmaceutical development, I agree with OpenAI, we could all be dead in the next 10 years! Voice response, AI chatbots are a plague to say the least!

    1:17:53 I can perceive you are talking about relationship evangelism! It works, really. But you have to get up close and personal with your most strident competition to have that impact. Having an army of "yes" men or women, is not enough to force your way ahead. You are gonna need a point of contact, to get those oppositional Republicans under your suasion at all. This is what it means to have a coalition government. Reach out to the libertarian vote if you can. And can die hard Democrat Ideals that have proven worthless. The sierra club emulates something between Libertarian and Green Ideals. Most people are fluid and mobile with their politics, if they feel they can just trust you more, or some other Democrat.😉 Don't lose their trust. I think you could make a great president some day! @AOC

    1:08:32 commercial directly after this almost made me forget what I wanted to say. "to waive your human rights of every human behind that wall" may require a constitutional amendment to the 14th. This amendment which abolished slavery in the confederate rebel states. Does not protect people incarcerated from being enslaved! Especially if one has been incarcerated multiple times in the past, they are treated as guilty until proven innocent. Few bail reductions, and past behavior regularly hinted at in a case, even if all the time was successfully served. (Catch 22?) They aren't being prosecuted for the current accusation, they are being prosecuted on the basis of previous crimes! Prison tends to bankrupt people financially, typecast those who have been to prison, and to leave them homeless and jobless on release. They may see the only way forward is to return to old gang affiliations, or criminal enterprise. @AOC You have already pointed out how private prisons benefit, producing conflict of interest in this matter. Private prisons do not have to enforce PREA regulations either, if they get sanctioned by the federal govt. they can just find new ways of raising money through human trafficking! A private prison is often like rendition to a sovereign nation with a dictator as warden. If they don't want communication with the outside world, they can stop it entirely for any inmate. People become completely dead to rights in these places.

    As if AOC gives a sh*t about anything other than maintaining her political career. She has been a sellout and good for nothing since taking office. I wouldn't waste my time listening to her and no one should. Look for figures who have actually fought against corruption, against the war machine and for universal health care. Leave phony progressives and their empty political theatre to an empty theatre. They have nothing to offer.

    The algorithms in social media are thee GOLDEN GOOSE for these billionaires. These algorithms can slowly persuade and direct you to any direction they wish. We are the hunted. People have an almost unlimited ability to ignore their own ignorance. Remember this and share it. The billionaires are very intentionally pitting us against each other so we don't focus on them, the billionaires.

    In Ohio, the Race between Ramaswamy and Acton for governor is financially Very One Sided. Ramaswamy receives Tens of Millions in support, and advertising through a group calling themselves "Victors not Victims". I don't think they are supporting rape survivors (like Dr. Amy)! They are actually using the fact that needing to seek psychiatric help temporarily put a hold on her Medical degree. They maintain the lie that she was disqualified as a medical doctor when she was only about halfway through her education as a pediatrician.🤯
    "Victors not Victims", should be seen as "Pro-Rapists not Victims"!🧐
