Media corporations are already consolidating en masse, that the Disney news also dropped today is certainly not a coincidence. ISP's and cable companies will soon own almost all news media, do you want an internet where your provider can prevent you or surcharge you to access competitors news websites?
007 Tomorrow Never Dies with Carver Media Group is some real shyt that we see taking place before our eyes.

Heard this could go down in a few weeks, unless they keep fighting to save it and congress denies it. This shyt doesn't look good.

The country as a whole is a lot closer to collapse than most would realize. shyt this important being decided behind closed doors by so few people that weren’t elected that affects everyone is not something you see in a democracy. Most nations would revolt between this and the tax bill.

I can't find the article right now, I think it's somewhere in my post history, I know I've posted it here.

However, long before the last election somewhere back in the early 2000's, there's this professor/researcher who has predicted many things before and has been very accurate.

One of his predictions was the divide between hyper-wealthy and middleclass/poor was going to make for some massive revolt in the 2020's and making a significant impact on this country.

Truth be told, that isn't too far from happening.

Peter Turchin: violence and social unrest in the U.S. and Europe likely by 2020

Turchin has found what he believes to be historical cycles, two to three centuries long, of political instability and breakdown affecting states and empires from Rome to Russia. In a book he is finishing, he argues that similar cycles are evident in US history, and that they are playing out to this day. He admits that his theory, built on a model that combines social and economic data, must be tested against real events – but unlike most historical theories, it can be. Meanwhile, he says, it “predicts the long-term conditions that led to this shutdown”.

The Presidential Election of 2016 through the Lens of Cliodynamics - Peter Turchin

Increasing inequality leads not only to the growth of top fortunes; it also results in greater numbers of wealth-holders. The “1 percent” becomes “2 percent.” Or even more. … from 1983 to 2010 the number of American households worth at least $10 million grew to 350,000 from 66,000. Rich Americans tend to be more politically active than the rest of the population. … In technical terms, such a situation is known as “elite overproduction.” … Elite overproduction generally leads to more intra-elite competition that gradually undermines the spirit of cooperation, which is followed by ideological polarization and fragmentation of the political class. This happens because the more contenders there are, the more of them end up on the losing side. A large class of disgruntled elite-wannabes, often well-educated and highly capable, has been denied access to elite positions.

Another visible sign of increasing intraelite competition and political polarization is the fragmentation of political parties. The Republican Party is in the process of splitting up into three factions: Traditional Republicans, Tea Party Republicans, and Trump Populists. These divisions run so deep that many Republicans refused to endorse Trump, and some even voted for Clinton. Similar disintegrative forces have also been at work within the Democratic Party, with a major fault line dividing Bernie Sanders’ Democratic Socialists from the Establishment Democrats of Obama and Clinton.

So far in this analysis I have emphasized elite overproduction. There are two reasons for it. First, as I mentioned before, other factors are much better understood, and have been discussed, by social scientists and political commentators. Second, cliodynamic research on past societies demonstrates that elite overproduction is by far the most important of the three main historical drivers of social instability and political violence (see Secular Cycles for this analysis).

But the other two factors in the model, popular immiseration (the stagnation and decline of living standards) and declining fiscal health of the state (resulting from falling state revenues and rising expenses) are also important contributors.

From what I have seen so far, it seems unlikely that the Trump administration will succeed in reversing these negative trends. And some of the proposed policies will likely make them worse. For example, drastically reducing taxes on the wealthy Americans will hardly strengthen fiscal health of the state.

Thus, I see no reason to revise the forecast I made three years ago: “We should expect many years of political turmoil, peaking in the 2020s.”
