Money, polling, publicity and organizing in our campaign

Emanuel Pastreich

Candidate for President

As a candidate for president of the United States, I want to make it clear where we stand as we determine to take on a system which is not merely tilted or jimmied, but decayed to the core.

That means that although there will be the inevitable compromise with convention or circumstance, we will accept absolutely nothing of this bankrupt casino politics and plutocrat economy. We will make up the rules in the interests of the people and we will demand an end to business as usual.

That means that for my campaign the collection of money is a minor issue and polling is irrelevant.

We will need money at some level, that is true, but the legitimacy of our campaign will stem from the commitment of our people to truth and justice, not from how much money is showered on us by those who wish to corrupt us.

As Confucius said, “If the nation has lost its way, it is shameful to have wealth and power.”

If we are honored with the presence of people who will go out fearlessly to fight for truth and justice, who will denounce false flags and the printing up of fake money, then they are our vanguard—and we will not be indebted to those who have thousands to give us so that we do not say anything inconvenient.

Better to have someone who speaks the truth going door to door, even if he or she must sleep on the floor of our campaign offices, along with the rest of us. We do not need money from bankers and lawyers who feel guilty for their role in COVID-19.

Money has some use. Polling is worse than useless.

Polling firms like Gallop and Harris are run for profit as part of the grotesque polling consulting entertainment complex that props up the broken economy as it is, and tries to convince you that everyone believes it works when no one does.

Polls are scams that employ story lines determined in advance by the consulting firms employed by bankers and political operatives to convince the public that there is support for things when there is none.

Polling firms ask very limited questions of a small group of people who have been fed the media content that corporations want them fed. Of course, the truth does emerge on occasion in these polls, but they are not scientific and should be dismissed from the start. We categorically do not accept their use to determine anything at all.

Most poor people do not exist for polling services. Those who believe that the criminal syndicates known as the Democratic and Republican parties are not legitimate will never be polled.

And then there is YouTube and Google. Yes, you have to love YouTube and Google, tentacles of the same multinational corporation which handles propaganda for the private banks and private equity. These false tools pose as dictionaries and universities when they are public relations firms and private intelligence agencies. They offer a few scraps of truth here and there, while creating false impressions out of nothing to deceive and confuse.

They should be run as collectives, or at least as regulated monopolies, but they are wall-to-wall profit for the super-rich.  

If you post on a sensitive topic, your Youtube Posting will be deleted and you will be blocked from posting the truth for weeks, or forever; your Google entry will be ignored or buried in trash.

If your topic is not too sensitive, but does not benefit corporations, your YouTube posting will get 20 hits, when in fact 5000 people have viewed it. Your Facebook post will get 12 likes when in fact 600 people have liked it--unless of course you have a consulting contract with Facebook or Google, or YouTube.

Facebook, Google, and Twitter are dangerous multinationals, now with their snouts in privatized intelligence, that have no role to play in any election.

So, am I, as a candidate, supposed to bow down before these false gods, to offer up a sacrifice to their blasphemous claws and fangs so that I can be allowed to get out to the people those parts of my message that they approve of?

No! I say.

Better that we run our campaign using pen and paper, going door to door. Better that we promise the working women and men of America that we will stand with them, that will help organize them, and then act on our promises.

Better that we organize them into self-support groups that will keep going for years, for decades. The Green Party, or whatever party, must have an office nearby where you can turn for help, it must serve as the government described in our Constitution that no longer exists. Elections will never work miracles but they can be the catalyst for revolutionary change.
