A Front and Center Conversation with Steve Bhaerman and Michael Maxsenti“We have a two-faced one-party system – and we the people haven’t been invited to the party.” – Swami BeyondanandaWhen RFK, Jr. announced he was suspending his campaign to throw his support behind Donald Trump, I had mixed feelings. I had supported Bobby because he represented the “independent” movement, which I recognized as the politics of the future. As most Americans don’t know, 51% of American voters now identify as “independent.”While I could understand his move as a Hail Mary pass to get his agenda noticed by mainstream media, supporting Trump was for me a bridge too far. Re Trump, I could not un-remember conservative Jonah Goldman’s assessment in 2016: Character is destiny.Yes, we have a sociopathic system, but is the answer replacing it with a sociopathic individual, particularly one who seems accountable to no one?I noticed one thing immediately. When Bobby Jr. addressed a Trump rally the day after making his announcement, and when he presented the platform he asked Donald Trump to adopt – curbing governmental censorship, ending the forever wars and shifting funds to domestic needs, and “making America healthy again” by promoting clean food (including new regulations!) and clean soil -- he got a bigger ovation than Trump did. Regardless of whether Trump keeps his promises, Bobby’s message landed with the MAGA crowd. Then something else happened, seemingly insignificant, that flipped my switch.Kamala got endorsed by Dick Cheney.OK, so what? Obviously Donald Trump is such a clear and present danger, such an evil character, that parties from both parties are aligned against him. But then I asked a question. Since when is Dick Cheney such a great judge of character? And then, another. Who or what is Kamala accountable to?My take is she is a Wolfowitz in Sheepowitz’s clothing– a kinder, gentler, more “joyful” face promoting Dick Cheney’s neocon policies of forever wars, and the domestic repression that goes with it.And that brings us to the “uniparty” – a two-faced monster that uses culture wars issues to divide us, left and right. The result is that we the people have been unable to unite and hold our system accountable to the standards that the 90% of us who are not sociopaths would agree on.This two-faced monster has also betrayed us, left and right.Until now, each side has been mobilized against the evils of the other side. To progressives, corporations are the villains. To conservatives, it's the government.Actually the true “dark power” is the two of them intertwined, working together. Mussolini said the more accurate name for fascism is corporatism. That’s what we have now. We have an interlocking directorate – an Everything Industrial Complex if you will – where “regulatory” agencies are captured, and in bed with the industries they are supposedly regulating. This is not Democrat or Republican. It’s the system.There is no political savior or techno-fix that will move the dial – only an organized, coherent movement of independent voters. Regardless of who you plan to pull the lever for – or against – in November, I urge you to become part of this movement.Educate yourself. The people who’ve left the Democratic Party corral haven’t left because they know less. They have had the courage to learn more, and then look the heart of darkness in the face.Allow yourself to see beyond what you’ve been told and begin thinking for yourself. It’s the only way we can “overgrow” the system. We are the leaders we’ve been waiting for.Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KViP4LNJpZUhttps://www.independentnationalcoalition.com/Here is a short list of recommended podcasts:A Call for Unity - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xf-0hMjxmlwRescue the Republic Rally and the rise of totalitarianism - https://www.mahanow.org/weinstein-podcastCensorship: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yF76Z6tqo1gNeed for deescalation of wars: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8wVZ5Az3BvUHow RFK Jr. will fix agency capture: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fMshg5rguq4A vote for Trump is a vote for Kennedy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3wl8T1pwSU8Understanding the UNITY approach: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=obQXMIpWDBkA Political Science Experiment: Navy Veteran, Mechanic, & Independent Candidate for U.S. Senate: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZlzXp_yCRGwAnd a highly recommended article: https://thehill.com/opinion/4856451-trump-kennedy-alliance-unity/Watch this enlightening conversation with economist and sustainable development expert Jeffrey Sachs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s0qFuH4UfKw&t=16sTo get a flavor of how it’s the Republican constituency who are the new peaceniks and environmentalists, watch this conversation with Bobby Kennedy Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard as part of their Reclaim America tour. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=...
