The Fox Top Ten Republican Candidate Debate was VERY, VERY entertaining, interesting, AND A LOT OF FLUFF AND UNSEEN STUFF. It led me to an intense investigation of a number of things not only concerning the candidates, but the way the media is shaping our political viewpoints, and, indeed, the very essence of FOX News, itself.
Actually, I have a tremendous amount of information to share, but I'll try to keep this (lengthy as it is) contained to important highlights, plus a lot of links you can check out for yourselves. I'll warn you now, though, that you need to put on your thinking caps and be ready for some objective plodding. This topic is not for those who want a "political quickie."
POINT NUMBER ONE: THE USE OF MEDIA IN CONDITIONING THE MASSES cannot be limited to the continued brainwashing of the Democrats by progressive Liberal (c*******t/socialist) propaganda. All Americans are targets in one way or another, so watch out patriots and conservatives!
I agree wholeheartedly with what David Risselada has to say in his article, "The Use of Media in Conditioning the Masses":
This article opens appropriately: "I have long believed that everything we witness in the political arena these days is nothing but the carefully contrived work of social scientists to push us towards acceptance of a global governing system. Many Americans have painfully opened their eyes to the realization that the new boss is almost always the same as the old boss, and that politicians are little more than sk**led orators that know how to play on the emotions of the e*****rate. By now, most of us are familiar with the idea that the two party system is little more than an illusion designed to keep us distracted just enough to believe that we can maybe -- just maybe -- make a difference the next time around. ..."
Later in article, Risselada states: "The global elite are probably having a hay day watching our adoration for Donald Trump grow. To give an example of just how conditioned the masses are to follow, consider the fact that Donald Trump all but admitted that he donated money to Hillary Clinton and Nancy Pelosi, while proudly proclaiming he did so to get them to do what he wants them to do. This represents everything that is wrong with American politics today, and yet, because he displays just the right amount of patriotism, he is leading in the polls by a substantial lead. I'll admit, it is refreshing to see someone call out the left on their hypocrisy, but in the end, is there a difference between "let's make America great again" and "hope and change?" Not likely. It is just another carefully planned campaign designed to play on the emotions of a population that views this as just another 'reality T.V.' program."

And, to pique your interest further in reading, this article even elaborates on how the human brain works and is affected by hours of television watching (which should also include movie watching). Because of the way the left and right brain are affected, we often come to believe that what we are viewing is t***h, no matter how deceptive or inaccurate it is.
POINT NUMBER TWO: CAN CONSERVATIVES REALLY TRUST FOX NEWS?
After watching the Fox News "debate circus," I began to ask myself a number of questions like, first and foremost, whose side is FOX really on and what are they up to?
This was not a refreshing and an objective debate criteria, as many Americans expected. This debate forum was carefully planned to target Trump and to target the weak areas of each candidate. Now, while this might seem a sane approach, as there was some question as to whether Trump would even be allowed to participate in this debate a few weeks ago and an attack on Trump was, in a way, expected, there's more to the big picture than immediately surfaces. It would also seem logical to attack the weak areas of each candidate in order to better "clear out" and narrow down the playing field for future debates.
It gets a little more interesting, however, when one learns that FOX News is one of the top ten largest donors to the Clintons. In fact, FOX supports more money to the Democrats than to the Republicans.
"Christians and conservatives continue to be hoodwinked by FOX news," writes Tim Brown for Freedom Outpost. "Not only has the organization been supporting the sodomite agenda, but they have also been one of the top ten donors to the Clinton Family since 1992."
"Michael Lotfi reported: "To many, it seems contrary to intuition that Fox News could be one of the Clinton family's largest donors for the better part of two decades. Check your intuition at the door -- it's true. According to Federal E******n Commission and Center for Responsive Politics data, 21st Century Fox News Corp. has donated more than $3 million to Clinton family accounts. Overall, this lands Fox as the Clinton family's 9th largest donor over the course of the family's political involvement." (Read more at

"Considering the information above, one does find it ironic that the FOX hosts on Thursday evening would have asked Donald Trump about money he gave to Clinton ... Personally, I think Trump is a liberal. The fact that he claims Socialist, single-payer healthcare 'works in Canada' and 'Scotland' just points out that he does not believe in freedom, but socialism. The fact that the father of the Canada system claims it is a failure must have slipped Trump's mind at the time. Scotland is pretty much the same deal. ...but the point is that he [Trump] was asked about this by talking heads whose company has supported the Clintons to the tune of over $3 million!"
POINT NUMBER THREE: WHO REALLY WON OR LOST THE REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE DEBATES?
Personally, I don't believe it's really an issue of who won and who lost, but more an issue of who is sincere and trustworthy. It's also an issue of who is tough enough to cut the mustard and has the experience to do it.
IN THE FIRST ROUND, it seems pretty clear that CARLY FIORINA --tough, poised, intelligent, sincere, and seemingly prepared to take on a fight with Hillary (???) stood out ahead of the rest. But, while Carly has the communication sk**ls, the guts, and the financial and business pizazz, is Fiorina really ready to take on this country in the divided state of chaos that America's in now? Can she handle tough foreign policies? Can she handle the i******s and illegal, imported Muslim mess? Can she secure the American borders? Can she effectively deal with a crashing national economy? Can she square off against global government forces run by big greed, big global bankers, c*******t/f*****m, the UN and the New World Order?
In fact, you have to ask yourself these questions (and more) about all of the candidates! And, you have to take a hard look at their experience and their backgrounds.
Gov Bobby Jindall, Louisiana's governor, for example, is definitely sincere, gutsy, and one of the top policy thinkers in the GOP today. Former Texas governor, Rick Perry, did much, much better than his unfortunate outing in 2012, and actually, Perry might make a good president when you look at his past experience, his ability to square off solidly against the progressive Liberal left and Obama, and the fact that he's been working hard on accomplishing such a goal for the past couple of years now. Both of these men I would put on the "good guys" team.
The other three? Exactly why are they running and what were they doing there?
IN THE SECOND DEBATE of the top ten, DONALD TRUMP stuck to the message with his usual arrogant, pompous, and sometimes amusing persona. He probably didn't hurt himself much among his avid supporters, although I do believe that he probably lost a few of them here. I doubt he gained any converts, though. But can you trust Trump? Personally, I don't.
Yes, I agree with Trump 100% about i******s and the need to secure the border. I like Trump's anti-establishment stance. But, is Trump really sincere or an undercover liberal wolf in blaring conservative clothing? Personally, I don't trust Trump anymore than I trust Bush, Christie, or Rubio.
Bush, in my books, is a RINO Republican. Although calm and seemingly sincere, his low-key approach and lack of charisma got him nowhere. And Chris Christie? I agree with a number of statements made in the article, "Fox Top Ten Republican Candidate Debate Full of Fluff 'n Stuff":
"Americans watched as Chris Christie vowed to continue and possibly expand the surveillance state by violating innnocent citizens' rights of privacy and security, proving he would better serve the public as manager of a Krispy Kreme doughnut shop." (

Senator Marco Rubio, on the other hand, is very deceptive and deceiving. This man seems totally sincere and he was calm, cool, relaxed, comfortable, and in control during the debates. Rubio is an easy and effective communicator. He's likeable, fresh, and smart. But, you've got to remember that it was Rubio who cast the deciding v**e for Obamatrade as it squeaked through the U.S. Senate 60-37, and Rubio's Senate office refused to answer whether he even knew what he was v****g on. Did he even read it before he v**ed? Rubio's v**e for Obamatrade is one primary reason that I don't trust Rubio. There are others, and important ones, too. I consider Rubio a RINO Republican.(

Coming back to DONALD TRUMP, he made it pretty darn clear that he can be a Republican snake in the grass.
Yes, FOX News set him up, and I don't use the words, "set him up" lightly. When news anchor Bret Baier asked the candidates on stage to raise their hands if they refused to pledge to support the eventual GOP nominee and not run as an independent, Trump alone raised his hand.
"Trump used to be a registered Democrat," writes Debra Saunders in an article titled, "Trump Trumps Trump." "He has donated to Clinton campaigns and causes. Before the reality TV star annnounced his candidacy, Bill Clinton reportedly urged Trump to get involved in the GOP primary. Now Republican v**ers are getting the picture. Trump might have no problem helping Hillary Rodham Clinton by siphoning conservative v**es away from the GOP in a three-way race."
There's often more to any political scenerio (and to any candidate) than immediately meets the eye. Read the rest of this article at:

POINT NUMBER FOUR: SO WHO CAN YOU REALLY TRUST AMONG THE GOP CANDIDATES?
Ask me who I genuinely like and trust. I will tell you that I like and trust those who sincerely love God and country and who I believe will sincerely fight for America, our Constitutional rights and freedoms, and all that America has ever stood for. Among the top ten Republican candidates, I can truly say that I like, respect, and would v**e for, if they were to become the Republican p**********l nominee: Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, neurosurgeon Ben Carson, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, and Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul. If they were to move up the ladder, I would also trust and v**e for Bobby Jindall, Carly Fiorina, and even Rick Perry. But, who among these are most qualified for the job? Trust and qualifications: you have got to look at both.
POINT NUMBER FIVE: SPEAKING OBJECTIVELY, THE BIGGEST LOSERS IN THE DEBATES WERE THE FOX NEWS ANCHORS AND MODERATORS who proved that they are as dirty and as biased as all Liberal mainstream media.
For the most part, FOX "set up" Trump to put him in the position of stealing the show. What was the motive? Was FOX just cutting Trump down to dump him off the ladder of fast-rising Republican popularity because Trump has both the mouth and the campaign money to be a real threat to Hillary Clinton? Or was the motive more secretive. Was FOX setting Trump up to enable him to run as a third party candidate which would inevitably assure Clinton's success in her p**********l goals by splitting the Republican v**es? Given the fact that FOX News, although appearing to be a conservative news source, is a heavy Clinton and Democratic supporter, what do you think?
And, if, indeed, Trump is really a liberal in conservative's clothing, and if, indeed, he should become the Republican nominee to run for president, how is he going to fare in gaining the v**es of millions of women and Hispanics? You've got to think about these things. Perhaps this is one reason why Megyn Kelly hit Trump with the questions she did. A whole lot of deceived and brainwashed Democratic women and Liberal progressive women are backing Hillary Clinton. Kelly made sure that she presented Trump as if he were waging a war on women. Case in point. More lost v**es for the Republican team. More v**es for Hillary Clinton.
FOX also made sure that while making the first Republican debates more of a "Donald Trump show," that they prodded other candidates on their vulnerabilities to make them look bad. Or was FOX just trying to clear out the best from the rest? What were the real motives?
I worked as an investigative reporter in the mainstream media for too many years in the past, myself, not to connect a few dots here. And, I don't like what I'm seeing.
POINT NUMBER SIX: WHICH CANDIDATES REALLY CAME OUT THE BEST OF THE BEST IN THESE DEBATES?
Rand Paul was, unfortunately, basically "silenced" by FOX News. Paul has fought long and hard for gun rights, auditing the Fed, and for a number of very important issues in Congress. And, Rand Paul, like Trey Gowdy, just won't back down. But, during the debates, he got less than five minutes in which to open his mouth. Perhaps FOX just didn't want some very important issues brought up during the debates or to the American public (???). In fact, 2nd Amendment gun rights weren't touched on at all during these first debates. Neither were Constitutional rights and Constitutional freedoms in general.
"The target question for Sen. Ted Cruz centered on his 'd******eness' as a political figure. Cruz stated that he believed Americans were looking for someone who would be t***hful. He proclaimed he 'ain't the guy' to send to Washington to go along to get along, agree with career politicians on both sides of the aisle who align with lobbyists and special interest groups. In his closing statement, he vowed to accomplish a host of things if elected. He promised to resend every illegal and unconsititutional action taken by Obama. Cruz said he would instruct the DOJ to investigate the Planned Parenthood videos and prosecute Planned Parenhood for any criminal violations. He will direct the IRS and DOJ to put an end to the persecution of religious liberty. He stated he would move the US embassy in Israel to Jerusalem and cancel the Iran Deal. Most importaly, Cruz promised to keep his word and fight for liberty."
Personally, I believe that Ted Cruz and Ben Carson are among the best of the best. I firmly believe that both of these men honestly mean what they say and will do all in their power to accomplish their goals were they to become the president of this country. However, as of now, both have a problem. Carson's is primarily his political inexperience, but that didn't stop the former neurosurgeon from having the best of the best of the closing statments.
And, despite the fact that it is a well-known fact that our current White House resident is an imposter (the North American Law Center has issued three articles of impeachment against Barack Hussein Obama Soebarkah, in which ARTICLE 1 details the documents and evidence and relates to "Usurpation of the Oval Office via criminal identity fraud") some are still waiting on Cruz to justify his bid for presidency knowing his ineligible status.
When speaking about being t***hful, addressing that issue is a priority. (The same goes for Marco Rubio -- justify the bid for presidency knowing his ineligible status.)
POINT NUMBER SEVEN: DID THE REPUBLICAN DEBATES ON FOX REALLY ACCOMPLISH ANYTHING BUT ENTERTAINMENT?
Hopefully, we were able to glean a little bit more insight about each of the candidates, their personalities, and their characters. But, you've got to remember, the "Republican debate show" was basically directed by moderators with FOX News and FOX News political motives. Having worked in the media in the past, I am well aware that all news media is "slanted" to the editorial and political directives of the media "owners." So where is FOX really going? Conservative? Or is FOX a seemingly conservative news source with Liberal underpinnings and motives? (Is FOX a deceptive media wolf in sheep's clothing?)
After being this longwinded, I'll cut to the chase in closing with this insight:
Back around the year 2,000, the Lord gave me a vision. I was looking down a narrow dirt street in an old Western town. In the middle of that street, two gunfighters faced off ready for the draw. The old Western storefronts on that street, however, were not real buildings. They were simply facades -- f**e, painted storefronts held up by boards behind them propped up to anchor them there and keep them from falling over. It looked like a real street in an old Western town. But, it was only a superficial deception.
"Americans believe that they live in a free and democratic nation," the Lord said to me. "But they don't."
It's all an illusion. An artifical and a carefully contrived deception. Can we really hope to beat this socialist/c*******t/Islamic takeover of our country? Can we really hope to beat the global New World Order/UN takeover? Does any Republican candidate really have a chance to win the 2016 e******n (if, in fact, there is a 2016 e******n)? I suppose, all in all, we can only keep trying, fighting, and praying. And, we can hope and trust in the Lord where we find real salvation. He, for One, will never leave us or forsake us.
May God bless all of those Republican candidates who sincerely love this country, will fight for this country and her Constitution, and sincerely mean what they say.
