So who gains from this orchestrated campaign charging Bernie supporters with being violent thugs?

Clearly not Bernie Sanders. That's not the way he operates. But I don't think Clinton surrogates and party bosses have any problem orchestrating such a campaign. Ya do whatever it takes to stop those "radical liberals" challenging the status quo. And we all know that Trump and his campaign workers have no limits to what they will do to stop Bernie. Trump did threaten to send some thugs to break up Bernie's campaign meetings. Remember that?

Only two people can reap dividends and have anything to gain from the false claim that Bernie campaign is threatening and harassing Democratic Party officials who are trying to stop Bernie.

1. Hillary Clinton the poor victim of those horrible thugs, hippies, bug eyed, crazy people in Bernie's campaign.

2. Donald Trump who would rather face the weaker candidate, Hillary Clinton, in the November election.

So who is actually sending out those threatening instant messages and e-mails?

And which Democratic Party officials are organizing this so-called anti-violence campaign?

The only person attacked that I'm aware of was a Bernie supporter who was punched by a prominent Hillary campaign worker!

What did Hillary and her surrogates have to say about that?

Hillary Clinton again charges Bernie with supporting right-wing domestic terrorist group!

Part of the escalating lying propaganda offensive by her campaign and her billionaire benefactors Super Pac's.

And of course we'll add to that talking point the claim that the Bernie campaign is threatening Democratic party officials, their families and their grand kids with violent attacks!

So far one campaign worker has been violently attack. And that was a Bernie supporter who was physically assaulted by a prominent Hillary supporter!

May 17, 2016

Those "thousands" of violent threats from alleged Bernie campaigners are total bull shit!

The Bernie campaign is doing no such thing.

These false changes and many more to come are designed to discredit and paint Bernie supporters as "violent radical communist terrorists" who must be placed under the watchful eye of Homeland Security, especially at the Democratic Party convention which must remain protest free!

And I have to wonder how many Hillary and/or Trump supporters are pretending to be Bernie backers in order to attack the Bernie campaign? Hillaryites are desperately holding on and we all know that Trump would rather face Hillary Clinton in the general election than Bernie Sanders.

How many of those e-mails have been publicly released by those poor bullied Democratic party officials? And actual death threats can be traced and would lead to actual criminal charges.

Bernie Sanders Campaigning In Puerto Rico Today! Video of Town Hall Speech In San Juan, Puerto Rico

Bernie Sanders: Puerto Rico could leave the U.S.

May 16, 2016

Bernie Sanders promised Puerto Ricans "an ally in the oval office" if he becomes president. He would even support Puerto Rico if it wants to become an independent nation.

"The people of the United States cannot continue a colonial-like relationship with the people of Puerto Rico," Sanders said in a speech Monday in the island's capital of San Juan. He was campaigning ahead of the Democratic primary there on June 5.

Sanders says he would give the island's 3.5 million residents three options: becoming the 51st U.S. state, becoming an independent country or enhancing its rights as a U.S. territory.

Puerto Rico in crisis

At the moment, Puerto Rico has a lot of woes. The island is languishing in a deep economic recession. People are literally fleeing Puerto Rico by buying one-way tickets to the mainland U.S. The island's government is deep in debt. It owes $70 billion to creditors and doesn't have the money to pay.

Sanders blasted Wall Street banks for trying to squeeze ever last penny out of the island, even if it means kids can't get the health care or education they need.

"Children in Puerto Rico will not go hungry, will not lose their education, to make billionaires even wealthier," Sanders said.

Sanders agrees with the Obama administration that Puerto Rico should be granted bankruptcy rights. Known as Chapter 9, it would allow municipalities in Puerto Rico to file for bankruptcy, akin to what Detroit, Michigan did in 2013.

But Sanders says that's not enough. He also thinks the Federal Reserve should buy some of the debt, much as the Fed bought assets from big banks during the financial crisis.

Bernie Sanders: Hillary Clinton is Not Telling the Truth on Auto Bailout

Press Release

Clinton is Not Telling the Truth on Auto Bailout
May 16, 2016


SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico – U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders’ campaign spokesman on Monday said Hillary Clinton should stop trying to distort the truth about Sanders’ support for legislation to help carmakers and auto workers.

Campaigning in Kentucky before Tuesday’s primary election, Clinton repeated her false claim that Sanders did not vote to fund an auto industry aid package in 2008. In fact, Sanders voted for a $14 billion aid package which passed the House of Representatives on Dec. 10, 2008. When that bill ran into a Senate Republican roadblock, the White House turned to a separate Wall Street bailout fund for loans to the auto industry.

“It is absolutely untrue to say that Sen. Sanders voted against helping the automobile industry and auto workers,” said Sanders’ spokesman Michael Briggs. “Secretary Clinton first made this false claim before the Michigan primary. She now is recycling the erroneous charge in Kentucky. Once again, Secretary Clinton is simply not telling the truth.”

When Clinton first mischaracterized Sanders’ position before Michigan’s March 8 primary, The Washington Post said Clinton was trying to deceive voters and that she “glosses over a lot . . . including the fact that Sanders is actually on the record as supporting the auto bailout. He even voted for it.” The Post also said of Clinton, “It seems like she’s willing to take the gamble that fact checkers may call her out for her tactic … but that voters won’t.”


Unlike Clinton, Sanders did vote against bailing out big banks after the 2008 economic collapse. “It is true that Sen. Sanders voted against bailing out the crooks on Wall Street whose illegal behavior and greed brought this economy into the worst downturn since the 1930s,” Briggs said.

CALL FOR THE PEOPLE’S SUMMIT: BUILDING THE POLITICAL REVOLUTION July 17-19 Chicago, Illinois

PEOPLE'S SUMMIT

The People's Summit
McCormick Place Chicago, IL
July 17-19, 2016


CALL FOR THE PEOPLE’S SUMMIT: BUILDING THE POLITICAL REVOLUTION

At a time of tremendous turmoil and progressive opportunity, we invite you to participate in a historic convening of organizations and individuals committed to social, racial and economic justice. On June 17-19, in Chicago, after the party primary season and before the party conventions, we seek to bring together activists committed to a different kind of agenda: a People’s Agenda that can enhance and expand issue campaigns and hold all elected officials accountable to popular demands for justice, equality and freedom. We envision this Summit as further deepening the relationship between participating organizations rooted in principled anti-corporate politics, development of community leaders, direct action not based on partisan identification, and strategic organizing to build power. The Summit itself will include plenary and workshop sessions devoted to key issues such as the Fight for 15, mass incarceration and criminal justice reform, voting rights and expanding democratic participation, a tax on Wall Street speculation to fund human needs and jobs, climate justice toward a sustainable economy, improved Medicare for All, the fight for free and debt-free higher education, secure retirement through expanding social security, ending HIV/AIDS, achieving Constitutional pay equity for women, and ending deportations and support for DREAMers, among others. We will take action in Chicago against the big money system of politics that expands the power of the wealthy and corporations at the expense of the people. We will also celebrate with music and a “festival of joyous rebellion.” And we will plan how to move our People’s Agenda nationally and locally to help build the broad movement for people and the planet. We hope to see you in Chicago, June 17-19, at McCormick Place..
