Brian are you asserting that Mitt Romney is the super villain here? The "Sith Lord" of all??? That he and Bain & Co are the root of all evil???
That he and Dick Cheney are an evil duo that somehow link together the US military industrial complex??
FYI this totally lost me when things went to the Kardashians and tackled sex change operations as being engineered by Bain and Romney via Ryan Seacrest
I can definitely see where corporations got a huge boost through Citizens United case...in fact I see this as the worst decision ever, and there is no issue with addressing their nasty side effects when talking about Monsanto, "Big Sugar", the Pharma industryetc, but to tie everything to Romney and Cheney and Bain Capital is not making any sense to me
I actually see RG as a vlogger needing eyeballs to make money. But for anyone who wants to see more from "Reallygraceful"...here is her youtube channel

What she'd really like is your money...easily given via Patreaon...so donate away
Which factual connection that she pointed out was incorrect? I couldn't find any. And which information source do you use which isn't financed? Is she not allowed to make a living? Do your left wing news stations shill for any and every entity willing to put shekels in their coffers?
Pop culture is used (and always has been) to move the needle in directions that disrupt unity and replace it with division. Do you still believe that music, movies, TV and films are just "art" without a function for those in power? You need to travel more and see first hand examples of how art has ALWAYS been used to move the needle for those in power. If it isn't cultural manipulation, then it is to fill their coffers or both.
Music popularity is now controlled by a handful of playlist makers, the worst level of control the villains of the music industry have ever had. From Payola, to controlling the limited physical shelf space, to buying all the store listening centers (something I was directly involved with in my former life) to modern day playlists which is the tightest controls they've had in history. I feel sorry for musicians who still believe the myth of your talent mattering in terms of commercial success. They only time it matters is when you hand over control to the same people and they steer and make the most profit from your career. Don't sign your life away? Good luck getting anywhere. This isn't "new" info, it's simply more oppressive and obvious than at any previous time in history. And it IS all connected. Romney is as evil as anyone, and she's right, he's the most "reachable" of the villains because he still wants to be in the public eye. The rest are 100% untouchable.

Brian, just because you can make factual connections between things does not mean it adds up to a story or some "coherent whole". Facts can fit a narrative and yet the story can be false
But believe what you want here....I only asked for the sake of clarification. IMO Mitt Romney is a decent individual with a moral center and I simply cannot see him as some puppet master of the USA...or Dark Lord as you suggest. But again, believe what you will.
As for "the music business", welcome to capitalism...it is all about free enterprise and levering whatever resources you can...at the least cost...it is all part and parcel of "The Freedom" that the USA holds sacred.
BTW a few years back it was all about Goldman Sachs ruling the world because they have investments and director representation in all the world's major corporations. There is a conspiracy theory about the US Federal Reserve as well that leds back to a few families controlling the world.
And yup, she absolutely has the right to make money of her work. H&(LL if Alex Jones can do so ...and he is a great example of free enterprise at work...then she definitely can
If writing ever becomes work I think I'm going to have to stop
This is like one of those magnetic refrigerator poetry games. Place the little magnets at random and, instead of a poem, you have a conspiracy theory.
Hitler - check Rothschild - check Bill Gates - check Epstein - Check Black Lives Matter - check Protesters who all want to burn down our cities - check Lies about vaccines in Africa - check The Kardashians - check... wait, what??!!!
But where's George Soros? You can't have a conspiracy theory without George Soros. It's against the rules.
The video does list some real social evils. John is certainly right about the Citizens United case. Unless that is overturned, this is just the system working the way it is designed to. Not the way, I think most would agree, it was intended to, but the way that best suits corporations and big money interests.
The real problem here is your reference to mainstream media "on both sides." Responsible journalism doesn't take sides, or at least tries its best not to. Despite what people say here, these sources do still exist if people are prepared to step out of their bubbles. Sadly, few are and can only see news as left wing or right wing, denying the very concept of objective facts.

Funny you mention Goldman Sachs, one of their Grandchildren is a JPF Member and was our Los Angeles Chapter coordinator for many years. He'd tell you it's all true. Romney did all the things she claimed. It's all public record. I think anyone running Monstanto or Bain Capital is a dirt bag. How you can defend those companies actions and the man in charge of them is beyond me. Quite bizarre.

I could only watch about half of it. I've been paying attention to Monsanto for many years, so I think I know a little about this.
Monsanto has been on an active campaign to enslave farms with their patented seeds. I refuse, as much as I can, to eat GMO foods because that supports Monsanto. Control the world's food supply and you control the world, is the saying, and there is some truth to it. And, that stuff about Agent Orange, Round up, that's all true, this much I do know.
But, this objective is power and money, and whether or not politicians and guys like Gates and Romney are in a cabal to enslave us, I don't know about that, I've been hearing crap like the 'Trilateral commission' and 'the council on foreign relations' and 'the 12 bankers who rule the world" and 'the krupp family" long before the word 'deep state' entered the global lexicon. Back in the 60s I had friends whispering this crap into my teenage ears. And now, what, it's Q, who the [naughty word removed] are they? Some morons, I'll bet. I don't think Romney and Gates are in some cabal, I think they are just unwitting dupes, and the real 'deep state' isn't government, it's corporations, it's the deep corporate state, because in the private sector, you can't do a foia request, there is much more freedom to move about and not be accounted for. Whether they succeed, I don't know about that, either. I don't think anyone can control the world, it's just too big. But, people love their conspiracy theories, that's been going on since time began. Some say Jesus is an Alien, and if you believe that, I've got a Velvet Elvis painting I'd love to sell ya !
Speaking of Aliens.......
Actually it is the aliens IF you really want to get into some deep conspiracy theory [naughty word removed], read "Walking Among Us".by Dr. David Jacobs. Obama even admitted it
There is no question in my mind that corporations and powerful individuals work to influence government to cut themselves the best deal they can at the expense of all else. They are driven to maximize profit and shareholder value====which is actually central to their mission according to the legal system. That was decided back when Henry Ford wanted to operate for the benefit of his employees and customers and was taken to court over it by his minority shareholders.
The Michigan Supreme Court ruled that shareholder wealth maximization was the legal purpose of the corporation and lowered prices and better wages (Ford had a 60 million dollar surplus at the time) was not in shareholder interests.
That they will pursue all avenues to make that happen is no surprise, and I expect that companies can find common causes to fight for...relaxed regulation, more power over consumers (limited warranttes, recourse, sign your life away in the fine print etc)....but these alliances shift as causes shift.
So rather than some co ordinated effort to "rule the world", I see a loose affiliation and shifting alliances trying to achieve specific legal and political aims that involve increasing their profits.
BTW consumers have lots of power too by simply closing their wallets. Monsanto is now owned by Bayer, the German pharma giant...but a big reason for their sale was customer attitude...their GMO rollout, their engineered weed killer ready seeds (some poor farmer was sued because he apparently accidentally (maybe on purpose) reused some of "last year's seeds and was taken to court in a highly publicized case that turned farmers against them

"He travelled to France as a Mormon missionary to dodge the draft during the VIetnam war."
Young mormons back then who came of age at 19 years old were required to serve two year missions. Fast forward to today, it's optional but strongly encouraged to serve. To say that Romney intentionally "dodged" the draft is ludicrous. That simply isn't the case. Could Romney have chosen to serve in the military instead of serving a mission? Yes. He could have. But by choosing to go on a mission rather than sticking around to get drafted does not mean he intentionally dodged it. He performed his duty to his church. That is all.
How do I know this? Because I was born and raised a morrmon. I was highly encouraged and raised up in the church to go on a mission when I turned 19. I didn't go because that wasn't something I had wanted to do at the time. I did however serve in the military instead, which is actually supported by the church for those who opt not to go on a mission primarily.
I don't believe Romney is an evil man. Is he a shrewd businessman and politician? Obviously he is. But that doesn't mean he's part of some secret cabal bent on world domination.
Don't buy into the conspiracy theories. Conspiracies are a dangerous road to follow.
It seems to me that the whole world has been cornered and now has only two choices;
1- Take the plunge, go ahead and do what everyone knows is wrong, destroy the system and hope the strong survive... 2- Fight the good fight to maintain status quo, but accept that the current system is un-sustainable and will eventually fail anyway...
Does this make me a pessimist? I say that depends upon your definition of evil. My faith affords me a third option

I've been on the receiving end of Mormon missionaries and always found them pleasant enough. I had a couple of them come by one very hot day, toiling in their long sleeved shirts and ties. We live a bit off the beaten track and they had had to walk quite far in the North Carolina summer heat. I gave them cold water and told them they were welcome to rest on my porch, but not to try to convert me as they would be wasting their time. They seemed happy to take a break and we chatted for a while. One was from out west somewhere and the other from England. Both had been sent far from home on their missions, I guess in the same way Romney was.
Fox News Channel is forever going to be known as Trumps personal lapdog, always eating up his scraps, licking his toes and begging for a bone, plain and simple, Trumps best friend over everyone including his yes man Pence. Probably over the opinionated but seldom heard wife of whom is going to file for divorce in under five years or sooner.
As for CNN, I like them even when they reacted to Trumps abusive behavior as if CNN could've and should've made him blow a fuse publicly but with respect to the idea of a president, they basically kept their true power in check. Is MSNBC the only even keeled and not negatively treated newsource that Trump didn't offend? I don't claim to know all see all but stuck to MSNBC, then CNN, local news and rarely looked at Fox News. Fox News has got a huge identity problem in trying to be on the good side of the rest of the country to which Fox News is doing the equivalent of giving themselves a public enema to oust the crap they shoveled for the last four years. I lost all respect for that station and doubt I'll give it back anytime soon
He can't change the climate, either. I doubt he's too concerned about it. He just bought a $12, 000, 000 mansion on Martha's Vineyard. I'm guessing he's not fretting about rising oceans.
I'm not, either. The climate here has been exactly the same my entire life, both floods and droughts come and go.
With skyrocketing crime in major US cities, thanks to "defund the police" idiocy, people being pushed in front of NYC subway trains, shootouts in Brooklyn and a thug on top of an NYC bus with a flamethrower, it's sure comforting to have a climate envoy.
I own a commentary on the book of Ruth. As I recall, the events of that book are set in motion by a famine. Biblical archeology shows that environmental concerns contributed to famines 3000 years ago.
If only they'd had a climate envoy.
You might want to grab a dictionary and look up "scam".

FoxNews is and always has been controlled opposition. One network, run by avowed leftists at the top, to give whichever "dear leader" in charge the appearance of running a country with actual free speech. But Trump did one thing very well. He outed the lying media and under 20% of people on any side believe ANY mainstream media. Those that hang on their words or get riled up at their nonsense are hopeless. It's lies with a bit of truth sprinkled in to confuse sleepy minds. It's info for the lazy. But Trump woke up a lot of people on all sides to their nonsense. The worst is not the zombies, they can't help themselves, the worst is those who know they lie, but STILL use them as a reference resource. They lie. All of them. When they speak a bit of truth, sure, use them, but never suggest they are reliable or truthful or "the good ones" compared to any others. ALL OF THEM LIE. Fox used to simply lie by omission as their most common ploy. CNN once had some legitimacy but devolved to nearly 100% blatant lies. But now Fox is on their pathway. As their ratings plummet, they will become shrill morons just like CNN. MSNBC was always nonsense like the National Enquirer, but now appear rational compared to the other two.
Trump, Bush, Clinton, Obama. There isn't an actual policy inch between any of them. That is the laughable part of it all. Look hard at the sweeping actions of both. Pro War. Pro Spending. Pro Corporate hand outs, Pro Big Pharma, Pro Globalist.
The election was also exposed as a sham. But the dirtiest little secret was that it didn't favor the "right/left" it favored the status quo of both parties. Both parties have candidates that won that didn't in truth. Once an R or D sellout fully to the globalist interests, they can get in with all the strings attached. They talk big games on both sides, but NOTHING CHANGES in reality.
I believe that Trump slid in by accident. It doesn't make him good or a genius, but he is not the villain the Status Quo paints him as. His actual work was all good, though he also allowed a lot of the same old spending etc. to happen. He forced big Pharma to drop their prices to Americans, which starts in January (unless Biden reverses it). Americans pay, in many cases, 10 times more for the same meds as everyone else. I know I do. I had no insurance and was paying literally 10 times (or more) for many of my meds than I could get them in Europe or Canada. I know because I loaded up when I traveled. Often I could get the stuff without a prescription too. (Another dirty little secret). Adults do not need faux protections of prescriptions for long time maintenance drugs. It is stupid. We trust adults not to misuse drain cleaner which is far more deadly than most prescriptions.
I also believe that Carter slid in by accident. And they similarly destroyed him like they have Trump. If you are too young to remember who they insulted, ridiculed and worked against Carter, believe me, it was very similar to what they did against Trump. I think they even botched a military operation to make Carter look bad. Reagen was also a populist Candidate. The difference is that he proved to be pliable once in office so the globalists worked WITH him and his popularity, and he won 49 of 50 US States and I 100% believe that that was all be design as well, tossing a biscuit to the other side regardless of how anyone voted. He played ball with Bush Sr. who was running things, so they played along and rode him to a landslide of all landslides.
I hope some of you well meaning folks on both sides wake up and see what is happening. We are more than 30+ trillion in debt as soon as the latest spending bill passes. By comparison, there is only 14 trillion dollars of actual money in circulation. We can never pay it back, but they aren't done adding to it just like sleazy creditors, they take the interest on the debt up to the max you can pay so they bleed it all out, then at some point, they take it all from you as you never get "less" in debt, only more. We have ALL collectively allowed this fraud.
The economic dark ages will usher in global governance and the end to middle classes worldwide. It is coming unless we immediately find a halt to it. Unlikely as I read comments here and elsewhere by people who are good and think with all their passion that they are on the "correct" side when they don't realize the "sides" are a rigged game.

That book will blow your socks off, if you are into that sort of thing.
have fun!
Nothing you said here is in disagreement with her or me. In the end, it is all private concerns as Govt. is simply an illusion placed over top of authoritarian rule by the few. Who are the few? If you knew, you wouldn't be around to tell. But they place these layers of corruption on top of themselves to mask their identity and nature. I have suspicions who they are, but to say it would simply be beyond most people's willingness to accept. Most won't accept that CNN or FOX are lying to them. For me, that is kindergarten level obfuscation. It is simply the frosting on a many layered cake. If you can't even get past the frosting, you haven't the slightest chance of knowing what is on the bottom layer of the cake inside.
