It’s sad to see the bankruptcy of the GOP national party leadership and structure. Everyone should know that the national GOP war room is hard at work trying to steer their wishes concerning the GOP presidential nominee coronation. They did it in 2012 in Tampa and that’s what they’re trying to do in this 2016 presidential race.

The falsities put out by Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio and even John Kasich, are appalling. As presidential candidates, they should have the real facts concerning what is happening in Syria and other hot spots of the world. Not a thing is ever said how the U.S. planted the catalysts for civil chaos in Syria, actually arming and funding the rebels associated with al-Qaida!

RABBLE ROUSER:American democracy is at stake

Not a word is ever said about our ally Saudi Arabia, whose bombing campaign of Yemen the U.S. supports and enhances. Not one word in the debates occur about: “Audit the Fed” legislation to actually have a full monetary accounting of what type of financing is provided to foreign banks and foreign countries from our central banking system; the unending printing of monies that devalue the dollar and promote congressional spending sprees to the tune of $18-plus trillion in national debt; and the manipulation of interest rates by the Federal Reserve!

The so-called candidate to end the Washington cartel, Cruz, is part of the cartel himself. His wife has been an executive at Goldman Sachs and he’s pulled in big cash from the economic elites. Cruz was sent in to split the vote against former presidential candidate Rand Paul — as was reported many months ago — promoted by economic elites like Nevada billionaire casino magnate Sheldon Adelson.

Rubio, a full puppet on a string, is the perfect order-taker for the economic elites and national political establishment. All you had to do is listen to the one-sided oratories on the Palestinian-Israeli issue at the March Florida GOP debates.

And now they’re blaming Trump for the violence at rallies. They’ll try anything to see if they can control the nomination with one of their puppets.

RABBLE ROUSER:Arrogance is embarrassing

And, yes, if Trump does not win enough delegates to be nominated outright at the Republican National Convention in July, the national GOP structure and leadership will repeat its 2012 acts regarding decredentialing delegates of candidates whose names they don’t want in nomination; the RNC rules committee will also somehow find it favorable to change the rules governing the threshold number of states concerning the plurality of delegates needed to have a presidential candidate’s name to be placed in nomination.

They did this at the 2012 convention in Tampa to Ron Paul, but, the media never reported on it or gave it the full coverage it deserved so the American public would know about these shenanigans. A book on the subject matter documents these incriminating acts. Can it happen again? Why not? If the GOP structure did it once, with the full silence of the entire establishment and national mainstream media, why not do it again?

It’s apparent that America has become more and more of an oligarchy. That’s why real changes never occur to help the very poor and the middle class who pay for everything, including the immoral wars, corporate subsidies and the welfare state.

Wonder why Americans are angry?
