Btw, I agree that the media is manipulated, or rather the media manipulates -- it's an awful cacophony of pre-packaged neocon opinions and state propaganda and is no longer worth the time or effort to read it. There are far better options out there now for information and insight. I rarely read any mainstream media or watch mainstream news either.
Let me also add that I agree the election was rigged. In all sorts of ways. The DNC rigged it against Bernie and it increasingly appears that one tentacle of the oligarchy may well have rigged it for Trump to win. For me it's becoming ever clearer that the political class are simply paid actors to play the straight guy in what is a nation utterly controlled by perpetual gangster/mafia class.
Now a new Don has taken over the family and will be running things for the next 4 years.
Yet again the US purse will be picked clean.

The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
