American Politics: Welcome To The 3 Ring Circus Also Know As The Presidential Election 2016

Every 4 years in the United States, the 3 ring circus comes to town. Its called the Presidential Election
or as Stephen Colbert likes to call it, The Hungry For Power Games.

Potential candidates from every background and political ideology come forward to prove to the
masses they have what it takes to run the most powerful country in the world. According to
Ballotopedia, as of April 2016 there are 28 distinct ballot qualified political parties in the US.

You wouldnt know it though, our news outlets and other media sources focus mainly on 2 to 4 of those
parties at the most. Thats because most of the big money (old money) donors own stock in the major
media outlets. The media will focus on who they are told to focus on in a favorable light and who to
ignore or try their best to character assassinate.

The big money (old money) donors revolve around two main parties, the Democrats and the
Republicans.

The Democratic and Republican parties are the two oldest political parties in the United States.
Politicians from both of these parties are responsible for the shitty state affairs that plague this great
nation. But that is a story for another day.

As of July, after months and months of debates and rallies we are finally down to our final nationally
recognized candidates. There are four of them.

The candidates are as follows:

Hillary Clinton Democratic Party

Jill Stein Green Party
Gary Johnson Libertarian Party
Donald J. Trump Republican Party

If you live in the US and do not know who at least two of these people are, you have a lot of catch up
reading to do.

The Candidates And Their Relationship With The Media

Candidates from the two major political parties, are no stranger to the public eye. Donald Trump and
Hillary Clinton both have spent more than enough time in the media for their exploits, good or bad.
Both are no stranger to scandals. Here are the most recent headlines that involve Hillary Clinton:

Hillary's Email Scandal Is About Privilege, by Philip Klein

DNC Chief Debbie Wasserman Schultz Stepping Aside in Wake of Scandal by Alex Seitz-Wald

'60 Minutes' Edits Out Hillarys Response to the DNC Email Scandal by Catherine Dunn

Clinton Broke Federal Rules With Email Server, Audit Finds by Ken Dilanian
Hillary Clinton and her husband former President Bill Clinton have had book after book written about
how dirty they are how nasty she is. Some of these titles include:

Clinton Cash: The Untold Story of How and Why Foreign Governments and Businesses Helped Make
Bill and Hillary Rich, by Peter Schweizer

Crisis of Character: A White House Secret Service Officer Discloses His Firsthand Experience with
Hillary, Bill, and How They Operate, by Gary J. Byrne

Two of these books have been turned into a documentary. Clinton Cash can be found on YouTube and
Hillary's America: the Secret History of the Democratic Party is a major motion picture currently in
theaters.

Donald Trumps exploits are usually picked apart by the cable news outlets and tabloid media. Hes a
bit of a celebrity. Here are a few recent headlines for Trump.

The Many Scandals of Donald Trump: A Cheat Sheet by David A. Graham

Donald Trump: Three decades 4,056 Lawsuits by USA Today

California woman's rape lawsuit against Donald Trump resurfaces in New York court by Leonard
Greene
Most books written about him or by him are business/self help in nature or biographical. The only
books against him were published in 2016 due to his current presidential candidacy.
Those books are:
Trumped!: The Inside Story of the Real Donald Trump-His Cunning Rise and Spectacular Fall by John
R. O'Donnell and James Rutherford

Trump Revealed: An American Journey of Ambition, Ego, Money, and Power, by Michael Kranish and
Marc Fisher

Assholes: A Theory of Donald Trump, by Aaron James

The book by Michael Kranish and Marc Fisher will not be out until August 2016.

Jill Stein and Gary Johnson on the other hand are a much different situation.

Much of the information on the internet you find on them covers their voting records and where they
stand on the issues. No fluff, no pandering, no scandals, nothing. Its amazing that you can actually find
candidates that actually do what they say they are going to do.
Gary Johnson does one opinion piece written against him from back in 2012 from his first attempt at
running for president by NSFWCorp.

That piece is called:

The Gary Johnson Swindle and the Degradation of Third Party Politics, by Mark Ames

As of July 2016, there have been no new negative writings against him.

Jill Stein has zero negative articles or books written against her. Her track record is flawless. Its
amazing. She even produces music with a folk rock band by name of Somebody's Sister.

My Thoughts On Election 2016

In recent events such as the DNC email hack, it was proven that Clinton, CNN, and MSNBC were in
collusion together to help steal the candidacy from her opponent Sanders.

Dont take what the corporate media says at face value. Six major corporations own 90% of the media
in America. The talking heads on these channels and newspapers are told what to focus on. Independent
media does a better job in covering current events and will ask hard hitting questions.

Most voters will not bother to do their homework. They will continue parrot what the media feeds
them.

Corruption in the government has become so wide spread that it affects all levels. We can no longer
afford to elect people that caters only to special interests that line their pockets with money.

Our citizens are being poisoned through our food, air, and water and those elected to represent the us in
the government turn a blind eye when the price is right.

Do your research and vote for greater good and good governance instead of the lesser of the two evils.
