Peace activist David Swanson says Hillary is a neo-con. But I ask: what is the difference between neo-con and neo-liberal? Answer: NONE. They both intend to destroy the world in order to save it for transnational corporations. Or, another answer: “Neo-liberalism is Neo-Con without a smirk . . . like the difference between Coke and Pepsi.”
BTW: You might want to check out independent journalist Jon Rappoport’s provocative posts on Trump, his candidacy’s effect on the political system, and how it causes perturbations with unknown consequences. And as British “Reptilian/Mantid hybrid” and elected public official Simon Parkes says, if Trump is elected, and he thinks he will be, then within six months different sections of the country will begin to split off .
