The Lost Vote

Submitted by ub on

The lost vote could very well turn into the last vote. I was born under a banana republic type dictatorship, which gave way to Communist rule. Later in life, I had the opportunity to work for one of the world's largest Propaganda machines. The term refers to misinformation which may not be objective and used to influence folks by presenting unverified facts to encourage a particular perception using loaded language to produce an emotional rather than a rational response. Propaganda is associated with governments but not limited to it.

Propaganda lies and disinformation, which is the process of spreading false information deliberately to deceive is a translation of the Russian, derived from the title of a KGB black propaganda department. Disinformation documents was a coined term by Joseph Stalin, giving it a French-sounding name to falsely claim it had a Western origin.

While it's not a new practice, the dissemination of false information has now become identical with the term @realdonaldtrump has used as fake news. Therefore, it is not the free press that spreads it and, it is being done with our tax dollars. Does it make sense?

Americans must wake up before its to late and demand that government work for the USA and not the other way around as they try to manipulate our thoughts and actions with constant lies and disregard for the rule of law while attacking humanity as we know it. From civil rights to health and human services, our way of life is under siege.

From Portland to Puerto Rico, Americans continue to suffer and the new immigrants are being held in concentration camps, while we are continually lied to.

US citizens must register and vote because as taxpayers, We The People must know the real truth about everything and everyone in government including POTUS, his entire Cabinet, and everyone on the public payroll.

There is a growing amount of misinformation being pumped out to Americans and it is all intended to cause apathy to prevent a large voter turnout. If you fail to cast a ballot in November, you may be regretting it for the rest of your life. Remember, hindsight is much easier than foresight.

The general election will decide who controls Congress on November 6. In the US Senate, the Democrats hope to win at least two new seats to regain control of the chamber, but their margin for error is slim. A majority of the seats up for election in 2018 are currently held by Democrats. In the House midterm elections, Democrats need to flip 24 seats to capture the 218 seats necessary for control of the chamber. There are 182 solidly Democratic seats and 161 solidly Republican seats.

The GOP reportedly has an evil Midterm strategy https://www.thenation.com/article/donald-trump-ugly-midterm-strategy/?u…
