Last week, CBS News announced that everyone’s favorite champagne socialist, Bernie Sanders, and his wife Jane Sanders, are under FBI investigation for bank fraud. The case is regarding a $10 million loan that Jane Sanders took out to expand the now bankrupt Burlington College. The federal agents are claiming that Jane Sanders misrepresented the college’s ability to pay back the loan by distorting the truth about the level of donor contributions. Bernie Sanders in now under the gun because he used his political influence to put pressure on the bank so that they would give Jane Sanders the loan.
Whether or not the Sanders’ are found guilty, anyone who follows Bernie objectively knows that this is only one indication of him being a complete fraud. My first inclination that Bernie was not who he claimed to be came in the form of a chilling message from Ron Paul when he was trying to get the Audit the Fed Bill passed.
Bernie actively sabotaged the bill to prevent a true audit of the Federal Reserve Bank. Why would someone who says he is against big banks prevent us from seeing the truth about one of the largest and most secretive banks in the world?
The next clue that told me Bernie was a fraud was his 2014 tax returns. Bernie only paid a rate of 13.5% compared to the average rate for his income bracket of 15.2%. Sanders is always lecturing us about how the top 1% don’t pay their fair share in taxes. He uses every advantage of the tax system to limit how much he pays into the federal government like any rational human does. The problem is that Bernie doesn’t practice what he preaches, which is empowering the federal government to run everyone’s life.
Possibly the most egregious and unforgivable of all Bernie’s hypocracies is the fact that he endorsed Hillary Clinton after WikiLeaks proved she cheated him out of the election.
Bernie was supposed to be against big banking, corporatism and war mongering. Yet, he laid down without a fight when Hillary – who represents everything that he was supposedly against — trampled all over him. That fact that he was bought off with houses, access to private jets and a quick rise to the top 1%, shows that you don’t need an FBI investigation to see that Bernie is a fraud.
FBI Investigation or Not, Bernie Has Always Been a Fraud
Views:
Ever wonder if people like this aren’t simply hired to give people the illusion of ‘choice’?
exactly.
He is a fraud, but I’d still argue he’s a lesser fraud than most of the other swamp creatures.
His voting record is rather consistent with his expressed views, and when it doesn’t, he usually has at least an understandable reason (e.g. he was against the F-35, but voted for it to keep the jobs in Vermont, knowing full well that if he voted against it, it would still be built [because the vast majority of others was for it], but they’d build it elsewhere in revenge).
I don’t know what he was thinking when he watered down the audit the Fed bill, but it might have been something along the lines of “This is a good idea, but it will never pass… If we water it down, it would still be a good thing and it might actually have a chance of passing. Better to get the light version than nothing”, or “This isn’t going to pass, so I might as well help them, then maybe they’ll let me get away with [something else he wanted to do]” — DC games.
The beneficiary of the bank fraud they’re being invested for was a community college more than themselves. “Let’s rob the bank to help the poor children” would sound like a good deal to some.
I’m also very much appalled by his endorsement of Hitlery – but what were his options here?
1. Run as an Independent – this would have split the D vote, essentially guaranteeing a R victory.
2. Fight Hitlery and the DNC in court – probably wouldn’t have helped [we all know Hitlery is above the law], would have made an effective campaign impossible until the verdict was out, would have kept Dems fighting each other, again essentially guaranteeing a Republican victory.
3. Drop out and be quiet
4. Endorse Hitlery, try [in vain] to change some of her positions, take her bribes
5. Endorse Hitlery, try [in vain] to change some of her positions, but reject her bribes
6. Endorse Trump, try to change some of his positions
I would have preferred 1, 2 or even 6 — but if he genuinely believes Trump is Hitler (I don’t, but he may well), those options are out and it just leaves him with 3., 4. or 5.
3. would have meant giving up any chance to influence anyone’s positions (and would have made a Trump victory more likely), so 4. and 5. were probably the better choices – and of those, 5 may have been the cleaner thing to do – but he probably thought he can use the bribe and at least it means Hitlery would pay a “fine” (in the form of the bribe) for what she did.
If I was in his place and I genuinely believed Trump was Hitler and must be prevented at all cost, I’d probably have opted for 4. as well.
He’s far from perfect and certainly at least somewhat corrupt — but I’ll take him over most of the other garbage in DC (Hitlery, McCain, Schumer, Pelosi, Graham, …..) any day.
Bernie’s actions label him as a dyed in the red wool Bolshevik. These are people who desire to have everyone ‘equal’ excepting their own selves of course. Power to the people! Money to me! Check out State of Illinois and City of Chicago. Both People’s Bolshevik Paradise Republics.
First thing they go for is forbidding you and I weapons with which to protect ourselves, spouse, family and property. Second is forbidding certain words thoughts and speech. The Founders ancestors had to deal with the likes of Henry VIII.
Those gun laws are working out just peachy in Chicago. Over 100 wounded, 15 dead. This is what a true Bolshevik Paradise looks like.
LONG LIVE THE REPUBLIC
But of course. He just works in a different division of “The Corporation” from the MSM newswhores and other assorted frauds that are trotted out daily for our viewing pleasure. This guy (and his whole cohort) would say or do anything asked of him so long as the money’s good.
I can’t understand why so many people voted for this fraud of a man.
Because they were severely retarded and duped by the money trees for everyone approach.
Bern took 20 Dollar bills from
the poor, who hoped that he was the solution or the answer to their problems, he betrayed those people.
lets hope they woke up to the fact that voting is all fraud and deception.
We need the “Close RACIST LIBERAL HYPOCRITE BIGOT Bernie Sanders loopholes” Act…. if you demonstrate & DEMAND people integrate —- YOU have to live in a DIVERSE neighborhood !!!!!! MOVE Sanders into the Chicago Ghetto so he can spend his declining years mixing with those he SAYS he loves. Don’t you DARE demand I integrate while YOU RUN AWAY .
Sanders was born and raised in the New York City borough of Brooklyn and graduated from the University of CHICAGO in 1964. While a student, he was an active civil rights protest organizer for the CONGRESS OF RACIAL EQUALITY and STUDENT (not really)NONVIOLENT COORDINATING COMMITTEE.
Bernie ran to Vermont in 1968, to get away from BLACKS to raise HIS family in SAFETY Sanders switched PARTIES, BETRAYED the Veterans, and instigates the Blacks and then RUNS AWAY.
In January 1962, Sanders led a rally at the University of Chicago administration building to protest university president George Wells Beadle’s segregated campus housing policy. “We feel it is an intolerable situation when Negro and white students of the university cannot live together in university-owned apartments,” Sanders said at the protest. But then Sanders ran to SAFE LILLY WHITE VERMONT to raise HIS children far away from those Blacks he demands you raise your children among.
since he was always jobless who financed all that ‘running’. lol
#BankFraudBernie duped all the Millennials into believing his fantasies of Utopia and free everything. As long as they send him their dimes he’ll keep whispering sweet nothings in their ears.
of course he was always a fraud. any time a jobless slacker SUDDENLY gets a job in politics when no one ever heard of them before its always a backer with big bucks that uses the willing puppet.
I can’t blame Bernie for trying to stiff the IRS. If he had real Testicles he would refuse to pay the IRS, but that is another story. Bernie’s original sin is being a Chicken-hawk, war mongering, “humanitarian” interventionist. As most frauds in government, Bernie cannot wait to send your kids to die while killing other people’s kids, who are guilty of living in a dictatorship. As a member of the House of Representatives, Bernie Championed the War against Serbia and the sanctions against the children of Iraq. In 1998 Sanders voted in favor of the Iraq Liberation Act, which said: “It should be the policy of the United States to support efforts to remove the regime headed by Saddam Hussein from power in Iraq and to promote the emergence of a democratic government to replace that regime.” Bernie voted in favor of George Bush’s war based on fraudulent weapons of mass destruction. Bernie championed the invasion (i.e. destruction) of Libya in the Balkans. Bernie is not only a puppet of the Banks, he is full fledged member of the tribe.
All socialists are frauds.
