So, in this impeachment hearing today where we impeach presidents for treason or bribery or other high crimes, where is the impeachable offense in that call?Their answer? Crickets. I commented to the socialist how the RINO always projects concern for my emotional state every time I refuse to accept his faulty premises. To which the socialist said: “We have hope that you will wake up someday when it comes to Trump and the Republicans”. “But”, I said, “That’s strange because I sent the RINO a link to an article on Tuesday that was not very flattering of Trump”. The socialist replied: “My Dad used to be a Republican until he came to his senses in his old age. We have the same hope for you”. And this is where I began my latest approach. I said: “It seems to me so much of this left-right dichotomy is comparable to watching a football game while the roof is on fire. Ya know?” Of course, he nodded because Trump. I continued: “I know this is where you will once again call me a tinfoil-hat-wearing conspiracy theorist, but did you know Abraham Lincoln predicted a day when America would be taken over by corporations? He smiled and asked if I saw a series called “Continuum” on Netflix that was about corporations ruling the world. I replied that I had not seen that one, but the films “Rollerball” and “Network” came to my mind regarding that subject (I am older than him). Next, I mentioned how Woodrow Wilson, the 28th President of the United States, referenced powerful men who were afraid to speak “condemnation” of a concentric inner circle consisting of even more powerful men:
Since I entered politics, I have chiefly had men’s views confided to me privately. Some of the biggest men in the U.S., in the field of commerce and manufacturing, are afraid of somebody, are afraid of something. They know that there is a power somewhere so organized, so subtle, so watchful, so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive, that they had better not speak above their breath when they speak in condemnation of it. – Woodrow Wilson, “The New Freedom” (1913).Then I commented on how former President Dwight D. Eisenhower warned of the “Military Industrial Complex” in his farewell address and on John F. Kennedy’s “Secret Society” speech delivered just 100 days after Ike’s. Next, I spoke of the creation of the Federal Reserve in 1913 and mentioned the book “The Creature from Jekyl Island” before saying that I viewed Wall Street and Main Street as distinctly separate constructs. At this, the socialist commented on how only the rich ever got richer. I then stated how I believe some things are worth conserving like the U.S. Constitution, and how I was grateful that I was able to grow up in, at least, the fading light of Norman Rockwell’s America. “Sure”, I continued, “You might say that blacks were treated badly in the 1950s, but leftists today have coopted civil rights when, in truth, it began in the churches of Montgomery County, Alabama. Ya know?” At this, the socialist paused and seemed like he was going to say something but, then, just slightly nodded. Next, I mentioned how Watergate reporter Carl Bernstein, after leaving the Washington Post, wrote a 25,000-word cover story in Rolling Stone magazine in October 1977 on how the mainstream media has coordinated “hand in glove with the Central Intelligence Agency” (CIA). I chose Bernstein because I thought he might find him more accessible than any potential “conspiracies” regarding “Operation Mockingbird”. I furthermore shared how I’ve watched politics closely from the times of Jimmy Carter’s gas lines, hostages in Iran, Ronald Reagan, “Borked” Supreme Court nominees, a thousand points of light, a new world order, blue dresses, hanging chads, and lost friends from drunken tirades over Benghazi. I told him how I was a patriotic neocon in the wake of September 11, 2001 and that I agreed with George the Younger that it was better for us to kill them over there than them killing us over here. I mentioned how I disagreed with one of my politically independent friends who said it was a mistake for us to invade Iraq over “weapons of mass destruction”. The socialist smiled, and added: “They weren’t there”. I replied: “Nope. Yet, even after that, I swore to my friend that we had the Iran mullahs shaking in their slippers before Democrat Harry Reid, as Senate Majority leader in 2007, exclaimed to the world that the U.S. had lost the war in Iraq. “That really pissed me off”, I said, “But, still, I was fooled and my friend was right.” The socialist looked at me seriously. It seemed he appreciated my candidness and was curious as to where I might be going with all this. So I continued. I commented how the same media outlets that tricked us with “weapons of mass destruction” are now being used by the Military-Industrial Complex as “weapons of mass distraction”. In other words, the same corporate media who tricked me with non-existent WMD’s fooled him with Russian collusion. “Trump was elected on the platform of immigration and trade”, said I. “But just as Bush II doubled the national debt and Obama doubled debt once more, so, too, do the deficits grow under Trump. The bankers always win.” To which the socialist mentioned tax cuts as the reason for Trump’s exploding deficits and our discussion drifted into other economic topics. Eventually, I asked him: “What if Trump was meant to be a wrecking ball? I mean, think about it. All of our institutions are now failing – the media, the FBI and Department of Justice, Congress, and even U.S. elections. What happens in 2020 if Trump says illegal immigration turned Texas blue and contests the results? Civil war?” I could see the socialist thinking about that one. He added: “The extremes on both sides are the problem. Maybe what we need is a new Centrist Party”. “But really…”, I stated, “there are two primary dynamics at play. Globalism, or rather, centralized power via the United Nations as opposed to constitutional national sovereignty. In that regard, then, the globalists must destroy America. Do you see?” He just looked at me blankly, but I could see the wheels turning. Maybe he liked that idea. I didn’t ask. Instead, I kept going. “What if the Trump Show was reality TV?” I asked. “Because he talked about financial bubbles as a candidate, but now, as president, he has taken complete ownership of the financial markets. If the economy crashes, Warren or Sanders or one of the current Democratic Party primary contenders will likely win the presidency. And if they do and then try to take the guns, then that could spark a civil war as well. Ya know?” I added that I thought Trump was either 1.) real and trying to drain the swamp, 2.) real and unwittingly serving as a scapegoat for the global financial elite or 3.) a Judas Goat working in conjunction with the globalists. The socialist responded by saying that he thought Trump was just an asshole using the presidency for his personal financial gain and that he would hate Trump no matter what party he represented. “He used to be a Democrat, you know.” I then mentioned how the infamous underworld attorney, Roy Cohn, Trump’s mentor, once said in an interview that Trump was the closest thing to a genius he’d ever seen on earth. To which the socialist responded by saying: “He may be a marketing genius, but that’s it.” We then talked about how Hillary Clinton benefited from super-delegates in 2016 in order to steal the nomination from Bernie Sanders. He said he thought Bernie would have beat Trump. In turn, I replied: “So if that was rigged, maybe the powers-that-be wanted Trump to win.” He nodded to that and this is where we stopped for the day. All in all it was a good conversation and we avoided the left-right talking points and positions. At some point, however, I want to take it to new levels and I do believe he may be receptive. We’ll see. It is my intention to eventually mention the secret CIA initiative revealed by former United States Naval Intelligence Briefing Team member William Cooper. In his 1991 book “Behold a Pale Horse”, Cooper described a plan by the CIA to utilize drugs and hypnosis on mental patients in order to coerce them into shooting children in schools. The project was meant to inflame the antigun lobby and cause middle-class Americans to beg their government “protectors” into obliterating the 2nd Amendment.
– On Sunday July 28, 2019 suspect Santino William Legan, 19, used an AK-47 rifle to murder three people and maim 13 others at a garlic festival in Gilroy, California. – Six days later, on Saturday August 3, 2019, at a Walmart in El Paso Texas – Patrick Crusius, 21, used an AK-47 rifle to kill 24 people; injuring 22 more. – And the very next day, on Sunday August 4, 2019 Connor Stephen Betts, 24, used a .223-caliber rifle to murder 10 people and wound at least 27 others.And, the most recent shooting? It occurred at Saugus High School in Santa Clarita California on November 14, 2019; the day of this writing and, obviously, the day after the public impeachment hearings collapsed on live television. What a way to change the narrative, because, today, the Santa Clarita shooting had been the leading story on AM radio top-of-the-hour newsbreaks as well as populating the twitter feeds of Democratic Party leaders.
