I know from personal experience, discussions with others and the obsessions of the media that people are NOT being swayed by ads. No one has to even see one. I have ad-blockers, I screen my calls, I discard ALL junk mail, unopened/unread,have no commercial TV at all and if it wasn’t for spam and the radio, I would never hear a word about political candidates from their wealthy supporters.

My government has betrayed me. I have taken note of individual names. However futile, I will not vote for my enemies, no matter how many uber-wealthy supporters they have. In fact, the more support from the super-rich, the less support from me.

FWIW, I have received not a single piece of spam, not a single robocall, not a single mailing from or for Trump, yet I know exactly what he’s done/said/promised.

If the election ends up being rigged, I expect CWII.

2. Farris Wilks

If Texas Sen. Ted Cruz wins the Republican presidential nomination he will owe a major debt of gratitude to the billionaire pastor Farris Wilks and his family, which made their fortune from fracking.

Until 2015, Wilks, who leads the Assembly of Yahweh, 7th Day, in Cisco, Texas...

Cruz and some 300 Faith healers leaders spent last weekend at Wilks Big Donor Ranch holding private closed door meetings etc.

Aw well I would have read the article and posted a quick list of the 5, but they block ad-blockers, so no luck
