Media complicit in perpetuating 'myth' Hillary

The liberal media is being ripped by conservative observers for allowing Hillary Clinton to continue her habit of avoiding the press and, in some cases, dictating how they cover her events.

According to media reports, Monday (August 22) marked 262 days since Mrs. Clinton's last press conference. Now, according to The Associated Press, the Democratic presidential candidate is keeping reporters out of her fundraisers.

In at least one case, says AP, Clinton's staff made reporters following the campaign stay in a van and told them to roll up the windows, just in case they may have overheard what she was telling deep-pocket donors in Nantucket, Martha's Vineyard, and other locales.

Crank

Matt Barber of Barbwire.com contends the campaign is trying to run out the clock.Political consultant Jeff Crank would like to see the media make more of a fuss. "Would true journalists ... have tolerated that?" he asks. "Would they have even covered it and said, Look, if you're going to lock us in a van, we're not even covering your event?"

"It's pretty apparent that Hillary Clinton believes that she is in a lead and [that] she is kind of holding on to that lead like you see a football team do sometimes when they're a little bit ahead," he tells OneNewsNow.

According to Barber, there may be some political image-making at work as well.

"They're trying to create a 'myth' of Hillary Clinton and they don't want the 'actual' Hillary Clinton, who is really ... just kind of abrasive and shrill in her approach," he argues. "Maybe they don't really want her in front of the American people."

Barber says the last, best hope of getting some firm answers to tough questions for Clinton will be at the presidential debates – if Donald Trump can avoid the name-calling and stick to the scandals.

"It stinks to high heaven – and Donald Trump has plenty of smoking gun evidence here to impeach Hillary Clinton's credibility [and] her character," he explains.

It's easier, Barber adds, to impeach her character now than to impeach her as president later.

The wealthiest 10% hold 76% of the wealth: The rich continue to pull away from the rest of the crowd.

Wealth in the U.S. continues to accumulate into fewer hands.  A recent Congressional Budget Office report showed that the top 10% of U.S. families now control 76% of total wealth.  That is a massive amount considering total family wealth is at $67 trillion.  Wealth inequality continues to expand and is creating deeper divides in our political landscape.  Consider the other side of the coin where half of U.S. families don’t even own one stock.  Is it a good thing that wealth is concentrating in fewer hands?  It depends on who you ask but wealth inequality of this level was last seen in the Roaring 20s right before entering into the Great Depression.  People forget how quickly fortunes can turn.  Yet many Americans today are already struggling deeply financially.  The end result is a nation that is frustrated with the system since it doesn’t feel like it represents their needs.

The wealth divide

It is worth noting that having wealth inequality of this magnitude in the U.S. actually has never resulted in having a large middle class.  The middle class occurred during a period when wealth inequality was much lower – it was also a rare point in history.

First, it is worth looking at a chart of wealth inequality in the U.S. over 100 years:

The Great Depression was horrible for a poor person.  For the rich, many lost money and certainly had to live with less.  What is interesting about our latest financial crisis is that the wealthiest in our country lost the least and regained most of their wealth the fastest.  This is largely due to the bailouts targeting the asset classes that most have within large banking institutions.

The middle class and working class in this country continue to have a tough time as they are thrown into a system where debt is a way of life.  You want to go to college?  You will likely need student loans.  Want to buy a home?  You need a mortgage.  Need a car?  Take this auto loan.  The days of being frugal and saving to even buy a car for example are long gone.  The system is juiced with debt and most people are simply living day to day barely making enough to service their debt.

This growth in net worth has largely occurred for a small segment of society:

The bottom 60% saw no real gains to their net worth between 1983 and 2010.  But look at the gains at the top.  What is going on here?  What has happened over the last generation is the slow dismantling of the middle class.  When most of Congress is made up by millionaires, it should come as no surprise where their interests will be.

Most of the real gains in net worth occurred at the top 10 percent of the spectrum.  And with fewer people owning homes thanks to big investors buying properties, the one vehicle for building wealth for most Americans is now too expensive.

This almost ensures that this pattern is going to continue short of some kind of deep change in the system.  At least we know where the gains are going.

German Government Urges Citizens To Stockpile Food, Water "In Case Of Attack Or Catastrophe"

For the first time since the end of the Cold War, the German government plans to tell citizens to stockpile food and water in case of an attack or catastrophe, the Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung newspaper reported on Sunday.
Following Angela Merkel’s proclamation that Islamic terrorism is not a function of the massive influx of muslim immigrants into Germany thanks to he immigration policy, we could not help but be a little surprised that, as TagesSchau reports, the federal government, according to a newspaper report wants to encourage the population to begin stockpiling food and water again, so that they temporarily can take care of themself in the case of a disaster or an armed attack. As Reuters details,

Germany is currently on high alert after two Islamist attacks and a shooting rampage by a mentally unstable teenager last month. Berlin announced measures earlier this month to spend considerably more on its police and security forces and to create a special unit to counter cyber crime and terrorism.
“The population will be obliged to hold an individual supply of food for ten days,” the newspaper quoted the government’s “Concept for Civil Defence” – which has been prepared by the Interior Ministry – as saying.
The paper said a parliamentary committee had originally commissioned the civil defense strategy in 2012.

A spokesman for the Interior Ministry said the plan would be discussed by the cabinet on Wednesday and presented by the minister that afternoon. He declined to give any details on the content.

People will be required to stockpile enough drinking water to last for five days, according to the plan, the paper said.

…the precautionary measures demand that people “prepare appropriately for a development that could threaten our existence and cannot be categorically ruled out in the future,” the paper cited the report as saying.
A further priority should be more support of the armed forces by civilians, it added.
Germany’s Defence Minister said earlier this month the country lay in the “crosshairs of terrorism” and pressed for plans for the military to train more closely with police in preparing for potential large-scale militant attacks.

So apart from stockpiling enough food and water for 10 days; supporting the military; protecting yourself from “a threat to our existence,” everything is awesome and Merkel’s immigration policy has helped?

We ask – what do they know? Or is this simply more scare-mongering since “A nation in fear is even better influenced and controlled.”
