Sanders promotes Democratic Party at rallies opposing Republican
attack on health care

26 June 2017
Over the
weekend, Senator Bernie Sanders spoke at rallies in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania;
Columbus, Ohio; and Charleston, West Virginia, opposing the Senate Republicans’
health care bill.
The rallies
each had an attendance of about 2,000 people, according to media reports.
MoveOn.org sponsored all the rallies and local “progressive,” pseudo-left and
trade union groups sponsored in individual cities. The Kanawha Valley chapter
of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) cosponsored the Charleston rally,
while the Service Employees International Union District 1199 cosponsored the
Columbus rally.
The Better
Care Reconciliation Act is the Senate version of the House Republicans’
American Health Care Act (AHCA), passed last month to “repeal and replace” the
Obama administration’s health care legislation, commonly known as Obamacare.
Both the Senate and House bills call for savage attacks on health care for
working people, including the ending of Medicaid as a guaranteed government
benefit program.
Medicaid is
the government health insurance program for the poor and disabled jointly
administered by the federal government and the states. It currently covers some
69 million people, nearly 20 percent of the US population. It was established
in 1965, along with Medicare, the government health insurance program for the
elderly. Enactment of the Trump administration measure will lead to the
destruction of one of the three bedrock social programs dating from the 1930s
and 1960s, the other two being Social Security and Medicare. Those programs
will become the next targets for privatization and dismantling.
Senate
Republicans plan to pass Better Care before the July Fourth Independence Day
recess, setting the stage for negotiations between the Senate and House of
Representatives and President Donald Trump’s signing into law of a final
version.
There is
immense popular opposition to the attack on health care embodied in the
legislation, which would slash Medicaid by over $800 billion and provide tax
cuts for corporations and the wealthiest Americans totaling more than $700
billion. The Congressional Budget Office estimated that the House version would
strip 23 million people of health insurance. Enactment of the measure would
constitute one of the largest and most blatant redistributions of wealth in
American history.
A poll by NBC News and the Wall Street Journal revealed
the depth of popular opposition to the House bill, which is similar to the
Senate version. Only 16 percent of Americans thought the AHCA was a “good
idea,” while 48 percent thought it a “bad idea.” Even among Republicans it had
only 34 percent support, with 17 percent opposed.
Earlier this
year, as the House bill was moving through that chamber, town hall meetings
around the country addressed by Republican congressmen saw constituents
denounce and shout down politicians backing the bill. In some cases,
congressmen had to flee meeting halls under police protection.
Health
coverage for tens of millions of working people has already been eroded by
Obamacare, which slashes health costs for corporations and the government while
increasing out-of-pocket costs and reducing benefits for consumers. Now Trump
and the Republicans are going significantly farther in denying people access to
health care.
Sanders and
his faction within the Democratic Party are well aware of the explosive anger
in the working class and among broad sections of the middle class over the
attack on health care. That is why, under conditions where the Democratic Party
establishment is pleading with the Republicans for a reactionary “compromise”
and is too petrified of the potential for mass political unrest to call for
public protest, Sanders is seeking to get ahead of the situation and make sure
that social opposition is channeled once again behind the Democratic Party,
where it can be stifled and dissipated.
At the
beginning of his Pittsburgh speech, Sanders stressed the reactionary character
of the Republican bills: “Let me be as clear as I can be—this so-called ‘health
care bill’ passed in the House last month is the most anti-working-class piece
of legislation passed in the House of Representatives in the modern history of
this country. And the Senate bill in some respects is even worse.” He went on
to describe the legislation as a “massive transfer of wealth from working
families to the very, very rich.”
But the
perspective Sanders advanced was anything but a call for mass social and
political protest. Instead, the stated goal of his rallies was “to put pressure
[on] senators in those states—specifically, Senator Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania,
Senator Rob Portman of Ohio and Senator Shelley Moore Capito of West
Virginia—and Senate Republicans at large to vote against the legislation.”
The
bankruptcy of this approach is underscored by the fact that Toomey was part of
the 13-senator “working group” that drafted the Republican bill in secret. In
his speech, Sanders addressed Toomey directly, pleading with him to vote “no.”
This is an
attempt to derail and demoralize working-class opposition by diverting it into
futile efforts to pressure the bribed political representatives of big
business. It is of a piece with Sanders’ endorsement of Hillary Clinton, the
favored candidate of Wall Street and the CIA, in the 2016 elections, and his
so-called “political revolution” to “transform” the Democratic Party.
Sanders and
other speakers promoted his bill for “Medicare for all.” The Vermont senator
knows full well that such a measure will never be passed by Congress, having no
chance of acceptance by either of the two capitalist parties. Moreover, Sanders
supports Obamacare, which involves a $700 billion cut in Medicare spending. He
backed Clinton for president, despite her explicit opposition to an extension
of Medicare to the entire population.
Just two
weeks ago in his keynote speech to the “People’s Summit” in Chicago, Sanders
touted the California Senate’s passage of a single-payer health care bill as
evidence of the supposed success of his “political revolution” in shifting the
Democratic Party to the left. On Friday, however, California Assembly Speaker
Anthony Rendon, a Democrat, effectively killed the bill, blocking it from
coming to a vote in the state’s lower legislative chamber.
Even if
Medicare for all were implemented nationally, it would be woefully inadequate
to meet the needs of working people. The program has already been significantly
privatized, and Medicare recipients are forced to pay private insurers for
expensive supplemental insurance plans to cover essential medical services and
prescription drugs.
Perhaps the
point most underscored by the rallies is how bare-bones health coverage already
is for working-class Americans. Most of the speakers—including health care
professionals and spokespeople for Planned Parenthood and other
organizations—spoke about the ongoing health care crisis in the United States,
including the opioid epidemic, inadequate access to mental health services,
difficulties in accessing contraceptives, and the high rate of uninsured and
underinsured Americans. Nevertheless, the speakers generally argued that
Obamacare was a progressive “step in the right direction.”
This proved
a difficult circle to square for the speakers, especially Sanders. After all,
if Obama’s Affordable Care Act was a progressive reform, why are working class
people facing such a health care catastrophe?
Both the
Obamacare status quo and the Republican proposals entail immense suffering for
workers and a further decline in their standard of living. The only way to
guarantee adequate health care for everyone is the socialization of health
care: the removal of profit considerations and the placing of the health care
industry under public ownership and the democratic control of the working
class.
This can be
achieved only through a complete political break with the Democratic Party and
all of its promoters, including Sanders, and an independent political movement
of the working class for socialism.

Bernie and Jane Sanders lawyering up for FBI fraud investigation
Just when Bernie and Jane Sanders thought they had it made as the icons of the American left, along comes a mean old Republican to spoil it with accusations so serious that the FBI is investigating. In a long and sympathetic article, Politico Magazine explains:
Jeff Weaver, Sanders' longtime top political adviser who heads Sanders' political organization, Our Revolution, confirms to Politico Magazine that Bernie and Jane Sanders have lawyered up. The couple has retained Rich Cassidy, a well-connected Burlington attorney and Sanders devotee, and Larry Robbins, the renowned Washington-based defense attorney who has represented I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby and disgraced former Rep. Bill Jefferson, to represent Jane Sanders in the matter.
Now, President Donald Trump's Justice Department is handling an investigation that will proceed at the discretion of a U.S. attorney of Vermont that Trump has yet to appoint.
Jane is portrayed as a victim. The story is going to be that enemies of Bernie are hounding poor Jane:
"I made it clear I didn't want him to run," she told me at their campaign headquarters at the time, "but if he decided to, I would be behind him 100 percent."
The Snidely Whiplash villain in this piece comes from conservative aristocracy. LawNewz:
The investigation stems from an Jan. 10, 2016 letter sent to the then-U.S Attorney for Vermont, Eric S. Miller. The law firm diGenova & Toensing LLP, [that would be Joe diGenova and Victoria Toensing – ed.] representing local parishioners, contend that Burlington College President Jane Sanders engaged in fraud when her school purchased land from a Catholic diocese.
In 2010, the now-defunct Burlington took out a bank loan to make the deal, but that required a minimum commitment of $2.27 million in grant and donations. The letter, authored by Bracy C. Toensing, said she supplied evidence saying they had $2.6 million in the needed money.
But it didn't turn out to be the case, Toensing said.
"At the end of fiscal year 2001 (six months after closing on the loan), Ms. Sanders had collected only $279,000 in donations, which was less than 25 percent of the $1.2 million Ms. Sanders guaranteed to the bank that she would have collected in that year," he wrote.
Politico elaborates:
Backed by six exhibits and a dozen documents, the four-page letter described how Jane Sanders had "orchestrated" the purchase of 33 acres along Lake Champlain in Burlington, Vermont's largest city, where her husband had minted his populist political brand as mayor. The deal closed in 2010, when the senator's wife was president of Burlington College, a tiny, obscure, nontraditional school that always seemed to be struggling for students and funds. The letter alleged that to secure a $10 million loan and execute her grand plan to expand the college, Jane Sanders had falsified and inflated nearly $2 million that she'd claimed donors had pledged to repay the loans.
Sanders had "successfully and intentionally engaged in a fraudulent scheme to actively conceal and misrepresent material facts from a federal financial institution," the letter alleged. It pressed for a federal investigation into potential bank fraud.
The media ignored the letter, but the FBI didn't.
Here is how the deal fell apart.
When Jane Sanders made the offer to the Roman Catholic Diocese, Burlington College was nearly broke – with an annual budget just below $4 million. In order to finance the property, Sanders secured a $6.5 million loan from People's United Bank in the form of a tax exempt bond purchase, and the Catholic Church agreed to carry a $3.65 million second mortgage on the property. Sanders told both institutions that Burlington college had $5 million in likely donor pledges and $2.4 million in confirmed pledges to be used to pay off the debt.
But wait – that was just for the property!
What Jane Sanders didn't plan for was the $6 million or so required to actually build out the campus on the property to include green space, athletic fields, lecture halls, and walkways. Oops!
Disaster…
Sanders' original claim of $2.4 million in confirmed donor pledges was quickly reduced to $1.2 million according to documents filed in the first fiscal year after the purchase – yet in records obtained by VTDigger, Burlington College received only $279,000. Despite hopes by Sanders and college trustees that they could boost enrollment and expand the student body, nothing changed – and the school failed at raising the money to satisfy it's loans.
And then Jane Sanders was fired, with a $200,000 severance package.
In order to try and avoid bankruptcy, Burlington college sold off pieces of the 33 acre property to a local developer – which allowed the institution to pay off some of the debt Jane Sanders had accumulated, however in April 2016 the bank called it's loan – and on May 28th, the college closed it's doors after 44 years in operation.
Joe Patrice offers a defense of sorts for Jane Sanders:
You can have confirmed, contractual deals for $1.2 million and only actually receive $279,000. Those are two completely different things. One could argue that only actualizing about a quarter of the total committed says something about the trajectory of the college's finances, but that's a much more nuanced argument than these two sentences suggest.
A third donor had offered a $1 million bequest, to be paid upon her death. Instead, the college's loan application counted it in funds to be paid out over the next few years.
Um… welcome to accounting. This account sounds shady, but – without vouching for any specific accounting principles – recognizing revenue in installments even if it's coming in a lump sum is perfectly acceptable. Again, that's not saying it was the appropriate way to account for this request, but the way this report reads makes counting funds over time seem like an insane tactic when it's just not.
Um...people do go to prison over accounting decisions on recognizing revenue and misleading shareholders, regulators, or lenders.
For the moment, Jane Sanders probably is less worried about being convicted by a Vermont jury than she and Bernie are about paying for those lawyers. For all their posturing against greed, Bernie and Jane are thrilled with the financial consequences of Bernie's campaign. They rushed out and spent more than their reported net worth on a third house last August like some seven-figure jackpot lottery winners. Saving and financial planning are not their strong suit, which is why people like Bernie and Jane should never be put in charge of anything, even a little hippie college.
I have known ambitious leftists like them – affluent, but with modest net worths – and almost without exception, they feel underprivileged when it comes to wealth, no matter how comfortable they may appear. Envy is the fuel of their radicalism, and they resent people who have more than they do. Deep down, they want the same stuff.
Paying for lawyers can ruin the net worth of a couple like Bernie and Jane. We'll know that the case is serious when they launch a legal defense fund.

DEM FOR MORE!
Sander's fraudulent claims to be leading a “political
revolution” against the “billionaire class” were designed to
corral popular anger and promote illusions in the
Democratic Party, one of the two parties of the American
corporate-financial aristocracy, as a party representing the
interests of working people.
"Democrat Elizabeth Warren, who parlayed
her brief tenure as a rubber-stamp banking
regulator during Obama’s first term into a
Senate seat."
Hey Bernie! Welcome to the millionaire’s club!
By Tom Hall

13 June 2017
Personal finance disclosure forms submitted by Bernie Sanders, and widely reported in the media, reveal that Sanders’ income was more than $1 million last year. This figure includes both his $174,000 annual salary as a senator and $858,750 from book royalties, including a nearly $800,000 advance for a book, Our Revolution, about his 2016 presidential primary campaign.
The threshold for the wealthiest 1 percent by annual income
in the United States is $389,436, according to the Economic
Policy Institute. Sanders’ income would put him somewhere
in the top one-fifth of one percent, according to US Census
data.
The wealth of the average US senator and representative has skyrocketed in recent years, earning Congress a reputation as a “millionaire’s club.” In 2014, the average personal wealth across both houses of Congress surpassed $1 million for the first time in history, with the median net worth of the Senate surging from $2.5 to $2.7 million.
However, few members of Congress are able to amass as much wealth in a single year as Bernie Sanders did last year. Opensecrets.org shows that Sanders’ book royalties alone would been the third-highest outside income in the Senate in 2014, the last year for which the site has figures. At $1.2 million, first place that year went to fellow “progressive” Democrat Elizabeth Warren, who parlayed
her brief tenure as a rubber-stamp banking
regulator during Obama’s first term into a
Senate seat.
Opensecrets.org’s records show that, for years, you have been forced to subsist on income levels at or around the threshold of the top 1 percent, in the low-to-mid six figures. This, no doubt, is what you had in mind during a primary debate last year when you described yourself as “one of the poorer members of the United States Senate.”
But 2016 was a turning point in your career. The $1 million
payday you received last year is payment for services
rendered during your intervention in last year’s Democratic
primaries. Your fraudulent claims to be leading a “political
revolution” against the “billionaire class” were designed to
corral popular anger and promote illusions in the Democratic
Party, one of the two parties of the American corporate-
financial aristocracy, as a party representing the interests of
working people.
And while you attracted considerable interest from left-leaning workers and young people with your false claims to be a socialist, you rejected basic socialist measures such as the nationalization of key industries, endorsed American imperialism’s wars of conquest, and defended a truculent nationalism which pitted American workers against their brothers and sisters internationally.
Your intervention was all the more crucial as the Democratic Party was preparing to nominate Hillary Clinton, who was widely and deservedly hated as a stooge of Wall Street and the military. You threw your support to her in the Democratic National Convention and presented her candidacy as a continuation of your so-called “political revolution.” You declared that electing Clinton was an urgent necessity to defeat Trump, in spite of the fact that her pro-war, anti-working class agenda was no less reactionary than Trump’s.
But your work was not yet done. When this produced a debacle for the Democrats in the November election, you were elevated to a more responsible position within the Democratic political hierarchy, working closely with Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer, whose election campaigns have received tens of millions of dollars in funding from Wall Street. You crossed the country stumping for Democrats with the new chairman of the Democratic National Committee, former Obama cabinet member Tom Perez.
You have even emerged as a de facto leader of a wing of the Democratic Party concerned that the party’s focus on the right-wing campaign over Russia against Trump at the expense of posturing over social issues could open the door to the emergence of a mass popular movement outside the control of the Democrats, a potential threat to capitalism. Nevertheless, you have supported the Democrats’ unsubstantiated accusations of Russian collusion with Trump, which are designed to force a confrontation with the world’s second largest nuclear power.
In your campaign to corral social opposition behind the Democrats, you have received the crucial aid of the middle class, pseudo-left organizations which function as satellites of the Democratic Party. They all presented as good coin your calls for a “political revolution” and either endorsed your candidacy, as in the case of Socialist Alternative and the Democratic Socialists of America, or, like the International Socialist Organization, issued mildly worded tactical criticisms of your decision to run as a Democrat rather than continuing the charade of running statewide in Vermont as an “independent.” As with your own campaign, their goal was to prevent the emergence of a genuine socialist movement within the working class capable of challenging American capitalism. Many of them made the trek to Chicago this weekend to hear you speak at the People’s Summit, an annual gathering of what passes for the Democratic Party’s “left.”
The pseudo-left is also being handsomely rewarded for their services to capitalism. Last year, the Ford Foundation announced that it was donating $100 million to Black Lives Matter; it has since cashed in through such investments as a “black debit card” and other projects promoting black capitalism.
Last year’s million, you have reason to hope, will be the first of many. Given the explosive character of the political and economic conditions in the United States, and the broad hostility workers feel towards both the Trump administration and his Democratic opponents, the ruling class will very likely continue to value your political services.

Chuck Todd on MTP does not ask Bernie Sanders about FBI investigation of wife for $10 mill bank fraud
Chuck Todd occupies a singular position in broadcast journalism: host of the oldest program in the history of American television. Yesterday, he did something that must have Tim Russert, Lawrence Spivak and Martha Rountreespinning in their graves. He hosted Bernie Sanders, arguably the leader of the American electoral left, and did not ask him about the FBI investigation of his wife for a suspected $10 million bank fraud, nor about reports that he and his wife are lawyering up.
Stephen Miller tweeted:
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Oh weird... Chuck Todd has Bernie Sanders on and doesn't question him about being under FBI investigation. <a href="https://t.co/S9WgiCvwqU">https://t.co/S9WgiCvwqU</a></p>— Stephen Miller (@redsteeze) <a href="https://twitter.com/redsteeze/status/878971155931160576">June 25, 2017</a></blockquote>
<script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
I am sorry: this is pretending that a potentially huge story does not exist, presumably to spare Sanders fans the pain of discovering that their idol might not be quite the idealist they supposed he was. The guy who once lived in a shack with a dirt floor now has 3 houses. But instead of even acknowledging the topic exists, Todd let Bernie off that hook. (He did press Sanders on his rhetoric of people dying if a GOP bill becomes law.)
The point of asking Sanders about the criminal law counsel he has hired is not the answer he would give. The only prudent answer would be that as a matter under investigation, he cannot comment on it on advice of counsel.
But that would have the fact of the investigation publicly acknowledged by Sanders on Meet the Press. That is footage that would make news for the program, and be in the best tradition of its broadcast legacy, one of the few remaining glories NBC News can point to. “Sanders declines to comment on FBI investigation” would be the headline on Drudge. It would spread via social media to Bernie’s entire fab base.
But that ain’t gonna happen, thanks to Chuck.
The obvious comparison to all the fuss made over a nonexistent FBI criminal investigation of President Trump’s “collusion” with Russia only highlights the importance of Silent Chuck’s help for Bernie and the Left.

to bail out the banks and make the financial oligarchy richer
than ever, shielding the architects of the Great Recession
from criminal prosecution, it did impose fines for some of
the banks’ grossest swindles, including the sale of worthless
subprime mortgage-backed securities, the rigging of key
global interest rates such as the London Interbank Offered
Rate (Libor), drug money laundering, illegal home
foreclosures and other illicit activities.
BARACK OBAMA , HIS CRIMINAL
BANKSTERS AND THE LA RAZA
MEXICAN DRUG CARTELS….
There’s more than one way to destroy America’s white middle class!
HSBC laundered hundreds of millions
and perhaps billions of dollars for drug
cartels responsible for the deaths of tens
of thousands of people over the past
two decades. The bank transferred at least
$881 million of known drug trafficking
proceeds, including money from the Sinaloa
Cartel in Mexico, which is known for
dismembering its victims and publicly
displaying their body parts.
THE CRIME DUAL OF HILLARY &
BILLARY, THE “HOPE & CHANGE”
HUCKSTER OBAMA
"But the Clintons personify this corruption just as much as
Trump, even if they made use of a different mechanism and
on a somewhat smaller scale. They amassed a fortune
exceeding $150 million in the decade after Bill Clinton left
the White House, mainly through six-figure fees for
addressing corporate and Wall Street audiences. Barack
Obama will shortly take a similar path, reaping his reward
from the financial aristocracy whose interests he safeguarded
so assiduously over the past eight years."
THE DEMISE AND ULTIMATE DESTRUCTION of HILLARY CLINTON
"Hillary Clinton is a known liar, a criminal of monstrous proportions; others have gone to prison for crimes she has committed over and over: lying to Congress, lying to the FBI, violating national security laws by which she was bound as Secretary of State, etc. It's a long list."
Clinton, the candidate favored by most of Wall Street and the corporate elite and large sections of the Republican Party establishment, is seeking to assemble something akin, within the framework of the US political setup, to a grand coalition between the Democratic Party and the Republican leadership.

Transcripts released by WikiLeaks of Clinton speeches to Wall Street bankers, for which she received six-figure paychecks, show her praising the recommendations of the 2010 Simpson-Bowles deficit-reduction commission, which called for sweeping cuts to Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid; the elimination of 200,000 federal jobs; a tax on employees’ health benefits; and huge cuts in income taxes for the wealthy and corporate taxes.

administration!

“But what the Clintons do is criminal because they do it wholly at the expense of the American people. And they feel thoroughly entitled to do it: gain power, use it to enrich themselves and their friends. They are amoral, immoral, and venal. Hillary has no core beliefs beyond power and money. That should be clear to every person on the planet by now.”
Wikileaks exposes Obama’s bankster-infested
administration!
BARACK OBAMA …… the banksters’ RENT BOY!
“Citigroup’s recommendations came just three days after then-President George W. Bush signed into law the Troubled Asset Relief Program, which allocated $700 billion in taxpayer money to rescue the largest Wall Street banks. The single biggest beneficiary was Citigroup, which was given $45 billion in cash in the form of a government stock purchase, plus a $306 billion government guarantee to back up its worthless mortgage-related assets.”
MUCH MORE HERE:
“As president, Obama not only funneled trillions of dollars to the banks, he saw to it that not a single leading Wall Street executive faced prosecution for the orgy of speculation and swindling that led to the financial collapse and Great Recession, and he personally intervened to block legislation capping executive pay at bailed-out firms.”
“So when Clinton was hobnobbing with Goldman Sachs
CEO Blankfein in 2013, while investigations of
wrongdoing by Goldman and the other Wall Street banks
were still ongoing, she was consorting with a man
who belonged in prison.”
CRONY BANKSTER LOOTING OF AMERICA
THEIR GOLDEN AGE OF PLUNDER IS NOT OVER!

OBAMA-CLINTON-TRUMPERnomics:
The Massive Transfer of Wealth to the Super Rich Ratcheted up!
The American oligarchy, steeped in criminality and parasitism, can produce only a government of war, social reaction and repression. In its blind avarice, it is creating the conditions for unprecedented social upheavals. It is hurtling toward its own revolutionary demise at the hands of the working class.
