New York Times Changes History - Declares OHIO No Longer The Bellwether for Elections As Trump Surges

The New York Times, the so-called “paper of record,” hasdeclared that the all-important swing state of Ohio is no longer an important battleground in the presidential election — now that Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump is winning it.

Trump pulled ahead of Clinton in the Buckeye State in the RealClearPolitics poll average on Sep. 13, and has never looked back. The latest average, as of Sep. 24 — prior to the first presidential debate on Sep. 26 — has Trump ahead of Clinton by 2%.

Earlier in September, the Times was declaring Ohio “an essential swing state,” where Governor John Kasich threatened to destroy Trump’s presidential hopes by withholding his endorsement and denying Trump his turnout operation. The Times added: “No candidate since 1960 has made it to the White House without winning Ohio. And while Mrs. Clinton could afford to lose there given her advantage in other battlegrounds like Virginia and Colorado, Ohio is a must-win for Mr. Trump.”

Now that Trump is winning the “must-win,” the Times has revised its view of Ohio’s importance: “After decades as one of America’s most reliable political bellwethers, an inevitable presidential battleground that closely mirrored the mood and makeup of the country, Ohio is suddenly fading in importance this year,” writes Jonathan Martin, who notes that Clinton has basically conceded the state.

“Mr. Trump’s unyielding anti-trade campaign and Mrs. Clinton’s difficulty energizing Ohio’s young voters have made it a lesser focus for Democrats this year, even as it remains critical to Mr. Trump’s path to the White House,” he explains (emphasis added).

That bit of revisionist history is necessary to avoid drawing the alternative conclusion, which is that Trump’s success in the bellwether state of Ohio could portend success elsewhere as well.

The Debate Results - Who Won? Who Lost? Who Was the Mystery Third Debater?

Well! That was a fight for the history books. The first round of battles between the two presidential candidates has come and gone and now it's time for the pundits, including myself, to throw in their two cents and analyze what in the world just happened.

First off, it was evident that right from the beginning, Donald Trump was much more confident, much more in control, and much more of a demanding presence than Hillary Clinton, who, at times, looked very uncomfortable and on the verge of seething rage as Mr Trump steamrolled her in the first half of the debate.

This demeanour changed in the second half, which will be declared a victory by Hillary Clinton. She hit her stride and appeared much more in control - this was visible and obvious. But what enabled her to regain her confidence? Was it her, or was it the fact that Lester Holt, the supposedly "unbiased" moderator, came to her rescue?

As I've written about numerous times in the past on this blog, the mainstream media is completely and utterly for Hillary Clinton. There was intense pressure on Lester Holt to "fact-check" Donald Trump every opportunity that he got, while giving Hillary Clinton a pass on her numerous lies that she uttered.

This is exactly what happened. This "moderator", or as many are calling him, " the third debater ", was anything but unbiased. It was clear that he came in with an agenda, whether his own or set forth for him, to attack Donald Trump and rescue Hillary Clinton in her time of need.

Holt continuously threw "hardball" questions towards Donald Trump, such as ones about his tax returns, the birther issue, and his support of the Iraq War.

Meanwhile, he asked Hillary Clinton NO, I repeat, NO real questions that the American public wants and deserves to hear, such as her part in the Benghazi debacle, that resulted in the death of innocent lives under her watch.

He asked no questions, and this one is mind boggling, about her 30,000-plus missing emails that she had deleted while Secretary of Defense.

He asked her no questions about the lies her campaign has been telling about her failing health and he asked her nothing about the corruption that has surrounded the Clinton Foundation.

It would be one thing if these topics weren't major news and were just speculation. The fact is, they are NOT and they HAVE been major news topics, even on the highly corrupt MSM.

Despite the fact that this was a 2-on-1 debate, Donald Trump still held his ground, did not falter, and appeared very presidential, choosing not to attack Hillary on her husband's countless rape charges and settlements of sexual harassment, proving he can be tempered and "the bigger person" in the room.

For this reason, I award the victory to Donald Trump, and I'm not alone in this belief. Countless polls have been posted on all major news websites, including ABC, the Times, CNBC, the Drudge Report, and many others. Almost unanimously ALL of these polls , which have votes totaling in the millions, see Donald Trump as the victor. The only poll that doesn't have Donald winning is CNN, aka the "Clinton News Network". No surprise there.

With that, we are left waiting until the next debates, which are just around the corner, and in which I believe we will see the media forced into being more impartial and fair, unless they truly wish to destroy the little bit of credibility they have remaining.

This event was a farce. It was a sham, but despite all odds, liberty and freedom will win the day, as it has done so for countless centuries and throughout the ages.

All that is required is for us, the people, to remain vigilant and strong in our convictions. The truth will set you free.

Next 4 Years Will Be Worst In US History - Michael Krieger

On the 2016 Presidential election, Analyst/writer Michael Krieger thinks alternative media is in the driver’s seat. Krieger says, “People in the alternative media have been calling out Hillary Clinton and doing it successfully. This is why I am calling this the media wars. I think we are in the media wars where in 2016, for the first time, the alternative media is driving the news cycle. . . . The alternative media is driving the debate, and now the mainstream is freaking out and rallying around Clinton because they are afraid they have lost control of the narrative.”

In closing, Krieger says, “No matter who wins, Trump or Clinton, I think the next four years are going to be the worst in American history, and perhaps, a few more after that.”

The Era Of Central Planning Is Crumbling

In the post 2008 era, the Globalists made a major push to hold the system together. The multi-billionaire class, particularly those who made fortunes from crony capitalism and bubble economics joined forces with the Keynesian media shills to convince the world that the only way we would survive would be if trillions of Dollars were given to those who were deemed “systemically important.”

Warren Buffett was a prime example of this. Buffett amassed a fortune by being a raging capitalist who prided himself on never losing money on an investment. But by the time 2008 rolled around, he faced the very real prospect of seeing his fortune halved.

Somehow he managed to convince the public that he was still a great guy while pushing for bailouts in the very firms in which he had taken large stakes: Goldman, Wells Fargo, etc.

Buffett was not the only one. He’s just the best known.

Let’s be blunt here: the 2008 bailouts and money pumps completely betrayed capitalism. The outcome was precisely what you’d expect from Central Planning:

1) Economic stagnation.

2) The creation of low quality jobs that offer little upward mobility.

3) Concentration of wealth.

Today, eight years later, the elites are terrified that the game is ending.

You can see this in many ways. The architects of this mess (Ben Bernanke, Alan Greenspan, Larry Summers and others) have resurfaced with revisionist narratives in which they are not responsible.

Similarly, those currently at the helm of the Central Banks have begun abdicating their responsibility for what’s coming.

This is most evident in Central bank Presidents like Draghi and Yellen dropping all pretenses of being able to hit their goals/ targets and instead passing the blame onto political bodies such as Congress.

Gold Goes To All-Time Highs If Fed Admits It Cannot Raise Rates

If the Fed does not raise rates at its September meeting as it has been warning money manager Michael Pento says, “The Fed is going to lose all their credibility on September 21st. Half of the Fed, and this includes Fed Head Janet Yellen, has been telling you that the economy has healed and they are ready to resume interest rate hikes. If they raise rates, and I don’t think they do, they are not going to be ‘data dependent.’ They are just freaking out about having promised to save the world with four rate hikes in 2016 and garner some credibility before the end of the year. If they don’t raise rates, they are going to lose all their credibility anyway because they have been threatening to do so. If they do raise rates, they are going to lose credibility because (the economy is sinking) and they are not ‘data dependent.’ The data here in the United States is screaming recession. . . . If they raise rates, they are going to absolutely crater the stock market and the bond market. . . .”

If the Fed admits it can’t raise rates, Pento predicts, “Gold is going to become completely unglued from its moorings and will shoot up very close to record highs very quickly. It’s not going to happen until the Fed admits that it cannot raise interest rates.”
