Note the reference to an NDA. We've been told that the NDAs issued by Havey Weinstein are just awful -- and yet, for some reason, NDAs are perfectly fine when used by Trump or his Russian pals. Why is that, I wonder?
Think Green. A tweet from reporter Alec MacGillis:
Your occasional reminder that Green Party got nearly 2X more votes in deciding states of MI, WI and PA than Trump's cumulative margin there.His reminder was occasioned by this AP headline...
BREAKING: EPA Administrator Pruitt says administration will withdraw from Obama-era clean power plan to slow global warming.MacGillis' reminder evinced an infuriating exchange with a Green named Ben Speilberg.
Maybe, if Democrats pursued a real strategy of environmentalism, voters would feel more compelled to vote for them.MacGillis:
Hmm, supporting the Paris accords and implementing the Clean Power Plan seem like a "strategy of environmentalism," but then what do I know.Mr. Green-genes:
Maybe those things & other Obama-era actions fall woefully short if you are concerned about climate change & other environmental issues.I've always hated "progressive purists" of this sort. Just before the election, Spielberg wrote a piece for HuffPo calling Clinton supporters "privileged" and intimating that they were mostly conservative white males. He also said that he personally had little to lose from a Trump presidency.
Secretly, or not so secretly, assholes like Spielberg want Trump to win. They will never admit it -- they will deny the truth to their last breath -- but deep down, they want the planet to die. They long to flash an ultra-smug smirk at the Apocalypse: "At least we managed to stop those awful, awful Clintons. We prevented the vile Democrats from actually doing anything. We, the FIRST TRULY MORAL GENERATION IN ALL OF HUMAN HISTORY, have done our sacred duty."
If Petra Kelly were alive, what would she say about this Spielberg fellow? In case you don't know, Kelly -- founder of the German Green party (the original Green party) -- was a huge fan of Adlai Stevenson, who probably stood somewhere to Hillary's right. As devoted as Petra Kelly was to non-violence, she was also human. I suspect that -- for a few seconds at least -- she'd try to imagine what Mr. Speilberg's smile would look like if someone did a little dental work on him with a tire iron.

Many of the founders of the German Green party were former Nazis or SS or they were Steinerites. This is documented.
That's one reason that the country where "Green" partyism took off first was Germany.
If someone closely studies the ideological thrust of the party's strategic material, I wouldn't be at all surprised if terms such as "threefold" this that and the other come to light. All politicians speak with forked tongues, and what the owners and shapers of "Green" have as their real views and motivations is very very dirty indeed. I'd advise people not to be deterred by Larouchie interest in this area.
The other reason that "green" bullshit got ramped up in that particular country in the 1970s (capitalising on the fact that the best elements of the left-radical opposition there, while brave and committed, were generally speaking little clued up about the concerns and struggles of the working class) - and then especially during "Cold War 2" in the 1980s (the "mustn't take an Apple Mac to Russia" period), was because Germany was the country with the barbed wire across its middle and which in any scenario of a NATO-WTO war would have been unable to stay unaffected. So best fill the minds of the "radical youth" with some distraction or other. This was a very far cry from anti-nuclear feeling in Germany in the late 1960s, where the idea of pressing a button to destroy a city was rightly execrated as an updated version of the "industrial" slaughter in Auschwitz.
The Greens were only in the West German government for about five minutes before West German warplanes took part in an attack on Yugoslavia.
Nowadays many or most "Greens" support nuclear power too. Coal, i.e. the working class, is too "dirty" for them, apparently. What a bunch of shits.
"Moving on" from "left versus right" always means right. There are no fucking exceptions.
Fuck the Greens. I am very open to the idea that Jill Stein and her party were playing for Trump (although I believe Bernie Sanders's support for Hillary Clinton was genuine). I watched Stein answer a question during the presidential election campaign about how best to fight Trump and all she could talk about was the Clintons. What a giveaway. The obvious conclusion is surely correct.
The Progressive Purists, I like it. It goes well with Neo Cons as to the groups to not be a part of.
B, I will always love Petra, who didn't really get along with the other Greens. But I admit that her taste in boyfriends was poor.
OK, thanks, I guess, for the affirmation I was correct to despise Spielberg and his LAME ass movies all along. I just can't take that I don't get to spit in his face.
Different Spielberg! And he's a great director.
"Secretly, or not so secretly, assholes like Spielberg want Trump to win. They will never admit it -- they will deny the truth to their last breath -- but deep down, they want the planet to die."
Nailed it, Joseph.
And yes, I remember thinking this back in 2000 in regards to the Naderites who were still gloating about how Gore was going to be WORSE than Bush (see the crap that Alexander Cockburn kept squeezing out from 2000 to 2004).
Oops! Need a new desktop pronto. But I still am not a fan of Spielberg films. Too treacly, however acclaimed they are.
