The DC wall is not holding.

by: Thomas Williams

The Washington DC establishment/media political wall is not going to hold this time because there propaganda just doesn't have enough truth to hold the American people back.

The American people are obviously restlessness and fed up with the liars and lies and seeking a way into or over the DC establishment corruption Wall.

And I am seeing the same signs as you over just how many of the American people are realizing that the corruption game in Washington DC has been exposed and now the people see how the establishment is really running our ship of state.

And the people don't like it one bit.

Unhappy Days for America

Robert Putnam made the leap from the academic prominence he had already achieved to something much broader in 1995 with an article in the Journal of Democracy called “Bowling Alone: America’s Declining Social Capital.” Whenever an article in a small publication causes the kind of sensation that “Bowling Alone” did—it generated a great deal of enthusiasm in government and in the foundation world—it says something about the intellectual climate of the moment when it was published. Putnam’s main point was that community life outside government and business—the proliferation of voluntary organizations that observers since Tocqueville have noted as a special feature of American culture—had severely eroded. He presented this apparent decline in “social capital” as alarming, and his argument had a powerful effect on people who had grown up in a world of Parent-Teacher Associations, Veterans of Foreign Wars posts, and bowling leagues, and who now lived in circumstances where such institutions didn’t seem to exist.
