American Made is the story of Barry Seal, played by Tom Cruise. The movie is an expose of the corruption the observant have known was taking place in the American government for quite some time. From Cambodia to Afghanistan, much of our countries wars have promoted the importation of street drugs into the United States. The acting is excellent and the movie is entertaining.

In exposing the corruption in the Nixon Administration, Deep Throat became a national and yet it was only shortly before his death that Mark Felt revealed his identity.

Beat NaNoWriMo Unpublished Novel of 2017
Summer Heat by Natalie Hull was this year's best soon to be published novel, written during NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month), 2017. Summer Heat is about the struggle for freedom by a girl, whose abusive father sant sent her to an American Gulag Camp, also known as a behavior modification or boot camp. These programs are places where rich parents send their less than perfect kids, at a hefty sum, to be tortured and turned into perfect Stepford children. As testified to in George Miller's Congressional hearings on the subject, the teens often return in body bags or at least hating the parents who sent them there. The survivors are generally damaged for life. This is a must read book based on fact and turned into an action-paged, romantic thriller. Despite the seriousness of the content is inspiring and shows that the spirit of the youth can overcome even the most extreme obstacles.
Best Newscaster of 2017
Though not a traditional newscaster, this title can only belong to Debbie Lusignan, also known as “The Sane Progressive,” who fought censorship and harassment to bring Americans honest coverage of events that took place in 2017. While fake news abounds, particularly in the MSM, Debbie Lusgnan is and honest newscaster (or better named a truthcaster) who has dared to investigate and tell the truth on issues from election fraud to false flags to the blatant censorship of any honest information on social media platforms and on search engines. Debbie did not rush into this role. She appears to have been dragged into being the lead truthcaster by an audience eager for facts and real information. Every time Debbie talks about taking a break, her viewers jump in and beg her to keep providing news that they can’t get from corporate propaganda sourees.
Best Comic Newscaster of 2017
This was a Tie between Jimmy Dore and Lee Camp. It used to be that Comedians were just there to entertain. Today, most comedians are paid to simply repeat corporate disinformation. Most are no longer independent but serve the purpose of misleading the public with slanted jokes. Both Lee Camp (Redacted Tonight) and Jimmy Dore (The Jimmy Dore Show) have refused to sell out and the are hilarious in their presentations. Their comedy and information is based on facts, real facts, not what the other comedians are paid to say and provide the public with a humorous way to look at what could otherwise be frightening current events and at what needs to be fixed in America.
Most Hopeful Creation
A new independent movement. More Americans than ever before are fed up with the two-headed, one party system. The campaign of Bernie Sanders caused honest Americans to wake up corruption within the Democratic Party. Most of Bernie's supporters are refusing to fall in line behind the Party that cost him the Presidency. Democrats have been mass exiting their party since mid-2016. Significant leaders who have continued to speak truth to power are Dennis Kucinich, Cynthia McKinney, Ron Paul, Jesse Ventura, Debbie Lusignan, Jimmy Dore, Lee Camp and Tim Black. There are calls for these leaders to lead a political revolution that will supersede the Democratic/Republican Party and allow a genuine people's party to take office. But for that to happen, America will need to go back to hand-counted paper ballots that the public can observe being counted. Despite attempts by social media platforms and search engines to limit the flow of information, the movement for truth is too strong for people to go back to sleep.
The Worst of 2017
Worst Political Stunt
The unfounded Russiagate scandal is probably the worst political stunt of the century to date. So far, there has been no credible evidence to back up any of the claims of Russian interference with the U.S. elections. On the contrary, there is evidence that the Clinton campaign cheated. Most Sanders supporters did not vote for Hillary Clinton. Clinton had not expected Sanders supporters to refuse to follow her and therefore did not cheat enough to overcome her margin of loss. The entire Russiagate claim puts the Democratic Party into the camp of Joe McCarthy, earning the party a tin foil hat and endangering all life on Earth with the possibility of extinction of the human race.
Worst Tax Increase
The GOP Tax Bill earns this, with the second worst being the Reagan/Dole tax increase bill that eliminated Social Security for millions of Americans, costing large numbers of Americans over a hundred thousand dollars during the remainder of their lifetimes. With more Democratic than Republican seats up for grabs in 2018 and the Democratic party looking ridiculous over its Russia claims, the Democratic Party did not have a chance of winning 2018 until the GOP came up with the biggest tax increase bill in the history of America. This was the biggest gift the GOP could have given to the Democratic Party. While elite corporations will benefit from the tax bill, 99% of individuals can expect to pay thousands of extra dollars each year to make up for the lost services taken away in the tax bill. Taxes are not just about April. They involve how much Americans will pay for inflation, health care, education and other necessities.
Worst Newscaster (or Fake Newscaster) of 2017
This title can only belong to Rachel Maddow, who assisted Hillary Clinton in reporting false information in 2016 in an attempt to derail the Bernie Sanders campaign and then covered up Clinton's lack of popularity by flat out lying about Russia in 2017. Maddow's latent McCarthism has become the primary focus of her fake news reports. Most progressives see Maddow as an establishment disinformation spokesperson who is overpaid while her advocacy for her corporate sponsors is especially harmful to those who previously voted Democrat. Rachel Maddow deserves a tin foil hat for her pretense that falsehoods, speculation and lies are the equivalent of news.
Worst Literary Catastrophy of 2017
This is the new censorship on an attempted par with that of the worst tyrannical dictatorships in world history. With Facebook, YouTube and Google blocking, editing and removing accurate information about current events for the purpose of perpetuating disinformation, most honest investigators and reporters are looking for alternate platforms to get out the truth. Some of the most important and accurate videos pulled have been those of Debbie Lusignan, the Sane Progressive, and other major truthcasters. Additionally, [posters who share honest information on social media are losing their pages and their posting privileges due to massive censorship of information the public needs to know.
Worst Human Catastrophy of 2017
No threat has ever come as close to annihilating the human race as the threat of the U.S. attacking Russia or North Korea. Hillary Clinton lost the election because Americans did not want any more wars, not war with North Korea, not war with Iran, not war with Syria and especially not war with Russia. Now it appears that Deep State has taken control of the Trump Administration and that the threat of war was just delayed Hillary Clinton's loss. In the event of a war with Russia, no Americans are realistically expected to survive. Russia has more of an ability to protect its citizens in the event of a war than the U.S., making it the winner, if anyone survives, but what kind of world would those survivors inherit? Russia is a capitalist nation and any claims of a reason for war are merely propaganda from the military industrial complex.
Most Tragic Loss of 2017
Erica Garner lost her life on December 30,2017. Erica Garner’s father Eric Garner was murdered via a choke hold by the NYPD. There were no repercussions as a result of his death. But a pro-human rights movement, known as Black Lives Matter, sprung out of his death with his daughter Erica Garner being a major spokesperson for the movement.
Ms. Garner did videos on behalf of Bernie Sanders and was an inspiration to all who backed Sanders in 2016 as she dared to tell the truth about the kind of society we needed to create. Though the Clinton campaign tried to pretend that Garner, all the Sanders supporters and Black Lives Matter were Russian, most Americans know better than to believe such nonsense.
