January's treasonous plot.
I see no reason why
the treasonous plot should ever be forgot
Trump, Trump 'twas his
intent
to overthrow the
government"
Three score militia's
did go
the electoral college to
overthrow
By Hillary's
providence he was catch'd
behind Nancy's darken
lectern an election snatch'd"
So goes my brief rewrite of John Milton's famous poem about Guy Fawkes and 12 other's failed 1605 "Gunpowder Plot" to blow up England's Protestant king, James VI of Scotland and Parliament as today's media and political status quo would attempt to reframe for us Donald Trump in the role of the "villainous" Guy Fawkes.
It's almost time for all the posturing and spin to come to an end and for us to go to the polls (bearing in mind that it's the Electoral College, not us, the voters, who actually decides on who becomes the next president). The news media, so-called "celebrities" and "personalities" will be out in force telling you to vote the way they (allegedly) did. Even TV talk shows and radio programs, print advertising, and commercials will have their overt and covert partisan innuendos (often masked in humor, sex appeal, or social correctness) to more subtly manipulate your vote.
Newspapers in particular will make their "endorsements", which, in effect, is aimed at convincing you to support their agenda---not yours. They want you to put the issues important to you, your family, your friends, and your neighborhood aside. They, through their endorsements, want you to support the issues and values which are important to them and their crony like friends.
We at Another Opinion don't make "endorsements". We give you---our readers---the unvarnished facts as we find them and urge you to make up your own mind (we even provide the links to that information so you can verify them for yourself).
We hope you will do your own research based on the issues important in your world and vote accordingly irrespective of partisanship because you can bet that neither of the two corporate owned parties care one iota about what's important to you.
So, on this Fifth of November, we hope you will have not forgot to get out and vote. America's future depends on it.
