Were you invited to this past weekend's exclusive meeting of the American Enterprise Institute's World Forum? I wasn't either. Since I'm not a Republican, I guess I shouldn't have expected an invitation. But, my rich Republican neighbor's down the road weren't invited either.

THIS meeting of the VERY rich and their Republican politicians exemplifies what the Establishment doesn't get about Sanders and Trump. After any election, during which the candidates have invited a LOT of attention from the public, have even shaken hands with some of them, or even spoken to some of them at a town hall meeting, the people THEN become an inconvenience and are forgotten about, the electee is even "protected" from the public.

Then, these guys step in: America's corporate masters and their bought off politicians. They get together at exclusive locations, have secret meetings to make decisions that can affect the entire nation - it's direction, setting its "values,"......

In this particular case, they were plotting the downfall of Donald Trump - which I can almost understand; I don't want to see him ascend to the presidency anymore than they do. But, who gave these people the idea that they can step in and around the will of the American people?

They don't like Bernie Sanders either. Different politics, but the same problem - Bernie is not under their control. This sort of thinking and privilege isn't restricted to planning on what they might do about Trump. Bernie and the Political Revolution will also receive their secret deliberations.

This is why supporters are responding to Trump and Sanders - neither of them are owned by the puppet masters (who are no longer unseen). Unfortunately, Trump's supporters are either "freed" racists and haters, or deluded enough to actually think that Trump has business acumen that he will use to "make this country great again."

AND, this is why Bernie is calling for a political revolution - he not only wants to balance the playing field again, but he wants our participation! Imagine that - a real democracy! What effect could all these privileged secret meetings have in the face of an educated, informed, involved, public practicing actual democracy? The only thing I miss about not being invited is not being able to swim in the pool in a warm, sunny, location. Otherwise, too much privilege, delusion, and ego for me.
