Who’s the Genius Here?
Opinion November 6, 2019
There are two dimensions of the Deep State, the corrupt elected politicians who enrich
themselves at the trough of taxpayer beneficence, and the bureaucrats who actually run the
government and are addicted to the power of their sinecures. These people sit quietly at their
desks pulling the levers of action, enacting rules and regulations to fleece the American citizen
out of even more of their own money and when necessary, dispatching the law enforcement
arms of the federal government to enforce their edicts. Don’t forget Waco, Ruby Ridge, the
Bundy Ranch stand-off and Elian Gonzales to name just four.
Where is the Congress in all of this? Why, enriching themselves like the Clintons and clueless
Joe Biden and his son Hunter have so clearly shown us. Quite apart from the two faces of the
Deep State, the question remains, why are these hidden Deep State creatures so active in
thwarting the plans of President Trump? The answer lies in they’re losing their “Power!”
The radical “Left” claims Trump as an amateur, is totally bereft of foreign policy experience that
should be left to the professionals. They characterize his decision to pull a small number of US
troops out of harms way along the Turkey-Syrian border, as an example of a wicked betrayal
against the Kurds, our allies against ISIS, when in fact Trump displayed a level of diplomatic
cunning far above these Deep State elites who believe it’s their decisions to make.
Consider the genius of his move: By pulling a small number of our troops away from the
Turkish-Syrian border, and not stopping Turkey, our NATO Ally from invading Syria and
assaulting the Kurds, he caused the Russians to quickly send an envoy to Damascus to
negotiate a deal to unite the Kurds (PPK) and Syrian government against Turkey, a NATO ally.
In doing so, he really upset Iran’s Mullah’s not happy the Turks are pushing into Syria, even a
little ways, even beyond the Syrian border. Now, Germany, an uninvolved NATO ally, hits
Turkey with sanctions. Trump has successfully divided the enemy who were happy to stand
united against the US as long as we were there, and at a stroke, turned these former allies
against each other and it didn’t cost us anything. The Deep State elites went berserk!
Remember, Russia’s Intelligence Service alerted Turkish President Erdogan of the developing
Army coup against him? Suddenly Russia is now Turkeys friend, with Turkey purchasing
Russia’s new SAM 400 missile system but losing the US F-35’s. So, while Turkey, Iran, Russia
and Syria were united against the US, the Europeans were not, enjoying the fact that the U.S.
was, defacto, protecting their interest. All that changed at a stroke. Now, what to do with
Turkey?
Israel was given a relief period from Iran’s depredations including moving hoards of war
supplies, troops and missiles into Syria. Now, Iran has to defend Syria against Turkey instead of
focusing on driving Israel into the sea, leaving Israel’s three main enemies, Iran, Turkey and
Syria facing off against each other. Turkey’s invasion is going to be very expensive for them.
In the end, Trump’s withdrawal feint brought some level of common unity between Syria and the
Kurds while at the same time opening troubling cracks in the apparent wall of solidarity between
Russia, Turkey and Iran. Today, Iraqi tribes are in revolt over the Iranian Mullah’s growing
influence in their country. Tell me the “elites” in the State Department or the DoD, could have
seen this one coming! I don’t think so. Trump continues to demonstrate a level of genius the
Deep State elites simply fail to realized.
Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, go get ‘em!
Is Impeachment a Celebrity Trap for the Democrats?
Opinion June 19, 2019
Is Impeachment a Celebrity Trap for the Democrats?
It was Oscar Wilde I think, who opined “the second worst thing in the world is being talked about. The worst thing is not being talked about.” Wilde was referring to his ‘celebrity’ of course, having it and then losing it like the Democrats seem determined to do.
The Nobel Peace Prize once enjoyed the ‘celebrity’ of its uniqueness until it was laughingly awarded to Jimmy Carter for his failed Camp David Accords effort, an insult to peacekeepers everywhere. To compound the insult, it was awarded to Al Gore for his silly obsession with melting ice, dying polar bears and rising oceans. Then, even before finishing six months in office, the prize was award to Obama, not for what he did but for what he said he would do, a new low! It was talked about, then not talked about, then forgotten. The Nobel Prize is near meaningless, the medal a mere trinket. Celebrity lost!
Are the Democrats going to achieve the same results with their Articles of Impeachment? We’ll see.
Right now, the Democrat Congress, having lost their attempt to oust our duly elected President for lack of evidence because there was none, have demanded Trumps “impeachment” for high crimes and misdemeanors, however that’s defined. However they want to define it, I’m for it, not because I want Trump gone, no indeed, just then opposite, because it gives him an open forum to defend himself and expose the miscreants of the deep state. “When the trumpet sounds, In unfrenzied excitement he plows up the ground, he paws fiercely, rejoicing in its strength and charges into the fray, afraid of nothing.”
Once the House pass’s its indictment to Impeach, it goes to the Senate for trial. It’s probable the Republican Senate will put a swift end to the procedure but doing so will rob Trump and America, from the joy of watching the close examination that will reveal the tawdry facts. Any Republican Senator who votes for impeachment will be marked as the traitors they are, to face their own voters at their next campaign.
The Senates trial will allow Trump’s team, for the first time, to have the right to question all of these people under oath: Hillary Clinton, former FBI Director Comey, S/A Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, Bruce Ohr, Glenn Simpson, Donna Brazile, Loretta Lynch, Eric Holder, Chris Steele, Brennan, Clapper, and a bunch of other participants we haven’t even heard of, all involved in the coup attempt. They know that and they don’t want to be anywhere near a trial of a real surviver, Donald Trump. In their desperation and fear they will turn on themselves, which has probably already started.
Under the probing questions by Trumps attorney’s, the real truth will be revealed. As the finger pointing occurs, deals will be made and suddenly a lot of democrats will wish they were somewhere else. Many are going to be charged with real Crimes and Misdemeanors and they will go to jail. America needs to be cleansed. The celebrity of political leadership has been irrevocably tarnished.
If you didn’t realize it, the ball will be in our court. The Republican controlled Senate will determine what testimony is allowed. Remember, Hillary Clinton bailed out the Bankrupt DNC effectively taking political control of it. From that unholy union came the DNC’s (Hillary’) decision to fix the Democrat Primary election in her favor; followed by the phony Trump dossier, her cover up and destruction of subpoenaed incriminating email evidence and her later public exculpation by FBI Director Comey. Outrageous! It will all come out, if they go to trial.
If the Senate declines to convict the President, as they doubtless will, then the Democrat legislative obstruction will proceed as usual, as will the election that Trump will win. People will have seen that democrats have wasted over two years trying to hold onto their power. America’s real needs, the invasion of our borders, China’s growing hegemony in South-East Asia, Iran’s sword rattling, creating more American jobs and restoring our defense capabilities, will all be ignored, if the Democrats stay in the Congress.
Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, go get ‘em!
Descent into Disarray
Opinion August 15, 2019
I’m not sure if what we see and hear from the Democrats right now is some clever new stratagem designed to amaze and mystify us if not deceive us outright, or might be the manifestation of the realities of life, that nobody wants to hear them anymore. Mass shootings and other social disasters are like iron filings to magnets for the media and the Democrats trying to find some plausible reason to impeach President Trump they can sell to voters.
Of course stories that don’t fulfill their narrative, like the mass murders going on daily in Chicago’s black neighborhoods, are ignored. Murders committed by illegal immigrants already kicked out of America multiple times, are excused for some socially touchy excuse.
This score of Democrats campaigning to replace Donald Trump, are like freaks in a midway sideshow. They tell blatant lies so often that they actually start believing them themselves. The Democrat party has no platform that Americans could rally around, but they have twenty different offerings, all sounding the same theme, ‘get rid of Trump, get rid of guns, abandon your religious beliefs and trust us,’ that not only confuses people, but bores ‘em to death as well. Think “tune out.” Speaking of religious beliefs, if Islam refuses to neutralize their beliefs, and Democrats refuse to chastise them, why then should Christians even consider neutralizing the teachings of Christ? Think about that one.
The Democrats pursuit of Trump is in disarray. What happened to “Mueller?” Two years of wasted money and time only to proved that Donald Trump was right all along. Only Jerry Nadler, the nimrod Democrat committee chairman, still believes there’s hope that the discredited Muller investigation, that treasonous exercise by the Deep States FBI, DoJ and the CIA to overthrow the President, might still contain some fragment of evidence the could sweep Trump from office. He’s delusional and there’s evidence enough to call the ‘white coat detail’ to escort him from his seat as chairman to the nut house. Adam Schiff has already turned cold on Mueller.
To be sure, the Democrat Party of JFK, no longer exists. Today’s party, however they want to call themselves, are dangerous because they’re now openly communist in their philosophies, fascist in their pronouncements and delusional in their beliefs. Americans are in no way Marxist oriented, except perhaps, for the recent graduates from our Marxist infested colleges filling our voter rolls. Where does the Left’s Shock Troops, the black clad Antifa’s, come from? Do they act for the Democrat like Hisbollah and Hamas does for Iran? Just asking!
Apart from lacking ideas, the Democrat Party has become the party of excuses because they have no solutions except first, they need to regain power so they can make society fair by leveling the playing field so that all citizens, rich and poor alike, can suffer equally like we see in Venezuela right now. Wouldn’t that be wonderful? The Democrats are in disarray and are intent on taking the rest of us down with them.
But enough of disarray, how about corruption? Once, it took old time politicians several years in congress to become corrupt and amass the wealth that made them millionaires in retirement. Radical activist AOC, a pole dancing socialist bar tender, inside of one year as a freshman congress-woman, has already skimmed off more than a million dollars in campaign donations to satisfy her lust for fine living. Well, reportedly, her Chief of Staff, author of the Green New Deal, actually did it but the buck stops with her. It does for everybody else.

Why Should We Accept Corrupt Government?
Opinion June 17, 2019
Why Should We Accept Corrupt Government?
In light of the unraveling of the corruption inherent in the “Administrative Deep State,” it’s past time for a serious rethinking of the need of a giant federal administrative state and reexamine the common sense methods of governing the framers gave us to rule ourselves.
Article1, of the Constitution has already laid out the basic outline for such a republican government as the founders created. While taking apart the monstrosity that politicians have engineered over the decades that changed that original form of government might be painful, it’s far less painful then the future that awaits us if we don’t. Who governs, the people or Socialists?
The Administrative state and its regulators, a creation of previous congress’s, have grown into a bureaucracy so entrenched that worker’s can’t even be fired. They lurk in the darkness of their own regulations and use their powers to punish those who fail to comply. Regulators are great for making and executing rules and regulations, and taxing, but not so good at designing those regulations to advance unproven political theories, that most often come undone.
The unrealized dangers of delegating rules and regulations making, is that Congress removes itself from accountability. Legislators govern by theory, proposing ideas that are then delegated to an agency charged to “make” it work. To ensure their schemes work, Congress politicized the Federal judicial benches, including the Supreme Court, to support their legislative agenda regardless of the unconstitutionality, through judicial activism. Judges don’t make laws!
Apparently the Administrative state works without limits so every conceivable American activity can be controlled by government. Some agencies become rogue because no one stops them. The EPA and IRS comes to mind as fascist agency’s. The EPA has been tweaked but the IRS only suffers changes of top leadership. No one gets fired, no one goes to jail.
Americans see this as clearly as fish in a pond. Government is no longer close to the people, especially Socialist ones like the Democrats want for us. Local and State governments are starting to fill that role but they are also becoming the new method for the introduction of Socialism into the body politic, city by city and state by state. That is the Achilles heel for our republican form of government. San Francisco, Ca., Seattle, Wa., and Portland, Or. are prime examples of socialism run amuck. They’re also near bankrupt.
This explains what’s happening in the Socialist State of California where the dregs of society, the perverts, drug addicts and transgender nut cases command control of the streets because a caring socialist city government wants to protect their rights. But what rights? Socialists have also claimed the right to infanticide but decry the idea that to clear the streets of societies worst cases would be more beneficial to a happy society than killing babies. It is these types of unAmerican activities that is eroding public confidence. Chaos must certainly follow.
The problems of government are systemic. The reason for government should be a primary concern of anyone wanting a better government but this cannot be accomplished with people of socialist persuasion who scream, yell and interrupt other speakers in an effort to kill free speech.
Trump has thrown a wrench into the gears of socialism’s advancement. Socialists are reeling in confusion but don’t count on them staying there. A revolution is coming. The question is, who’s going to lead it, them or us?

A House of Fools
Opinion June 17, 2019
A House of Fools
Our American legislatures were once the occupational centers for lovers of liberty hired by the people to represent them, to do the government’s business within the framework of the US Constitution and the rule of law. What’s happened? It has become a House of Fools.
Democrats, ever since the end of America’s Civil War who reentered the great halls of the federal government as Representatives and Senators from their several states, have strived to thwart the real meaning of the Constitution to deny to former slaves, the same protections guaranteed under the Constitution. Groups developed specifically to slow the progress of human dignity of all freed men like the terrorist organization, the Ku Klux Klan, and Democrat judicial appointments whose rulings, like the awful Dread Scott decision, cemented their intent.
Now, today in the 21st Century, the Democrat party has morphed so far toward Marxism that the aging remnants of the old, long corrupted Democrat Party, like Nancy Pelosi, Chuckie Schumer, Gerry Nadler, Adam Schiff, Maxine Waters, Cummings & et. al., foolishly flailing their arms at windmill issues already resolve, fail to grasp that President Trump is not the dumbbell they thought he was, to be easily redirected to the status quo of the Deep State, but is instead baiting them at every opportunity showing them as the House of Fools they have indeed become.
The Democrat Party has shed the camouflage of being even remotely considered a political party loyal to an American Representative Republic. Their attitude at their election loss to Trump has shown us their true colors as wanna be Marxists. Since Woodrow Wilson the Democrat Party has been moving us toward Communism through its different stages of Liberalism. Progressivism and now, Democratic Socialism. In fact they could better be described as “Majoritarian Democrats.” They may be winning because for years we’ve been told by the Democrats that there’s “nothing to see here, move on,” while they stole our government, co-opted our words and attack all that is good and moral.
One needs only to look at the nearly bankrupt, crumbling Socialist State of California to see exactly where the Democrat Party, now in charge of the Congressional House of Fools, intends to take our nation. The Democrats will abandoned the rule of law, except when they can use it against President Trump, to force their awful form government on America. They have already abandoned their common sense. Yes indeed, A House of Fools!
Many Americans of African Descent are starting to choose their options by leaving the Democrat ranks as once dependable, loyal voters. It has occurred to them that they have been kept nearly destitute on the Democrats economic plantation for decades. Today, they are working because of Trump. Today, they are living better because of Trump and for America, that can’t be bad.
No one is exactly sure who is really running the House of Fools, Pelosi or AOC. Pelosi and her followers are all elderly relics of a by-passed age. AOC believes she and her cohorts, youthful, socialist minded politicians pretending to care for the needs of the people by making everything free, are the future. But, why wait? They’re moving forward now and Pelosi can’t stop them. The egotisms from their firm belief in the dogma of Marx are heightened by the positive reactions of the brainwashed youths now coming up as voters. Trump is the saving grace. He tells the truth like it is and is possessed of none of the hypocrisy of pretense to virtue or disinterestedness. He loves America and wants to see it Great Again. That should be the goal of all of us.
Remember, Freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, go get ‘em!
Mueller’s Coup: “Losing an illusion Makes Us Wiser Than Finding a Truth.”
Opinion July 25, 2019
The final word on the circus that was Mueller’s testimony, that can be safely taken away after yesterdays Democrat debacle, is that Trump won and Hillary didn’t. The Democrats are in serious damage control but, their ship is still sinking. It’s over and cannot be undone.
If nothing else, at the very least we have learned that Robert Mueller, simply by his ineptness and lack of knowledge of anything in the report that bears his name, by even it’s kindest interpretation, must be considered a co-conspirator of the Clinton cabals treasonous attempt to bring down Donald Trump and end the Trump presidency.
This is because he agreed to lend his good name and reputation as a front to the plotters and their nefarious scheme that by all accounts has collapsed as a dismal failure. In fact, the Mueller Investigation itself should be lumped into the total picture of a treasonous “coup” against President Trump started by the machinations of the Clinton campaign and the DNC using US counterintelligence laws as cover to commit their crimes.
After the day long embarrassing spectacle at the two Congressional hearings, the spin by media light weights, CNN and MSNBC, was breathtaking, both in their positive conclusions for proving Trump should be impeached and denial that things went as bad for them as it did. Wisely, many individual left-wing media reporters did acknowledged the worst for the Democrats.
But, the show must go on, so publicly congratulating themselves for their efforts, the Democrats like drowning men grasping at straws are awash in their own lies but they don’t care. Their actions and reactions should qualify the TDS crowd as truly mentally challenged, but most certainly as dangerous risks to the public who does not support them.
The worst of this two and a half year exercise in treason was that the coup plotters are known, all of them. Their motives have been revealed and their scheme(s) thwarted. What remains is for Attorney General Barr to start the last round-up, corral these cretans for federal branding, impanel Grand Juries and start the needed repairs by public trials.
Mueller acted as a shameless figurehead for the shadowy coup plotters hiding behind the pretense of personal dignity for which he was esteemed. For two plus years, Americans held their breaths under the common idea that Mueller, a Republican, a combat decorated marine officer, a long serving and capable member of the Dept. of Justice and honest Director of the FBI, stood sacrosanct in his reputation for truth Justice and the American way. But alas, “losing an illusion makes us wiser than finding a truth.”
Expect detailed examinations into Mueller’s work history. Causal inquiries have already revealed flaws in his form of applying Justice that adversely impacted innocent people beyond those affected in this particular investigation. Time is long and Justice never dies.
Mueller set his own course and it led him astray. I do not feel sorry for him. He’s pathetic and must understand that a good reputation once sullied, is sullied forever. I expect his next gig, if not in a court room as a defendant, will be at a “comic-con” convention somewhere. Let us hope so. This was an evil, tawdry business and for Mueller, an imbroglio that cannot be defended. His ratiocination skills, if his testimony was any evidence, left him long ago. Sad. Very sad.
Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, go get ‘em!
Instinctively Knowing Nonsense When We See It
Opinion July 22, 2019
I think everybody instinctively knows just how valuable the “Four Horsewomen of the Apocalypse” have become to Donald Trumps re-election. Of the four, two are undeniably and admittedly strong adherents of Islam, meaning they have ulterior motives for wanting to trash and fundamentally change America. They want America as an Islamic Caliphate obedient to Shariah law, dictated to by Islamic Iman’s. There can be no other possible explanation for them being in Congress.
The other two ethereal equestrians, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Ayanna Pressley, are simply American born nincompoop’s brainwashed in the Progressive style, who don’t even take the trouble to understand the basic rules of economics that fund any country’s growth and prosperity, or the rules of decency that should make society work smoothly. Trump understands the rules and he baits them shamelessly.
Lazy thinkers, like the crop of Marxists snowflakes that daily amuse us with their whining, simply believe that taxes snatched from the coffers of the greedy 1% of Americas wealth creators, and the pittance extracted from the wallets of working class people, will help them ‘invest’ in their promises of free education, free health care and free housing for all, as well as a free monthly check to cover expenses. When a Democrat says they will “invest” they mean they’ll not be spending their money, but ours. That’s the Socialist Utopia in a nutshell. I love the thought of Utopia. I fondly remember an old song sung by balladeer Burl Ives called the ‘Big Rock Candy Mountains. Now that was utopia…but we instinctively knew it didn’t exist!
The Democrat Progressives and the Muslim jihadists now come together as one but, only to the point of overthrowing, either violently or by stealth, the United States of America. If and when they arrive at that point, i.e.: the defeat of America, the Jihadists will then become the crocodile Winston Churchill warned us of, and will eat the Progressives last. But eat ‘em they will because, Progressives live and rule by their feelings while Jihadists live and rule by the Qur’an!
Presently, America, founded on the Constitutional principles of freedom, independence and representative government, lies as an inconvenient truth to the fractured Democrat party because the Constitution inhibits them from acting on their feelings. To the adherents of Islam, the Constitution has no meaning at all except when it can be used to advance their demands for inclusion, or claim they are victims of islamaphobia and hate crimes.
To all muslims everywhere, nothing, absolutely nothing supplants the Prophet Mohammad, the Qur’an and Shariah law. Nothing, Period!!! When called upon, all muslims will react as the Qur’an directs as they are doing now all over Europe, the Middle-east and non- muslim Africa.
Has anybody considered that these Four Horsewomen of the Apocalypse, or the Gang of Four as you like, could really do the legislative damage they are doing to Congress by themselves? Naw! The four are really slaves in the political harem that is run by, wait for it – a man! Yes, Saikat Chakrabarti. His family is wealthy and he uses their money to fund Alex Ocasio Cortez’s campaign. He set’s the agenda and her talking points. The Green New Deal is his. He fronts a group called “A Brand New Congress” with the explicit aim of ridding Congress of old white Americans and repopulate it with radicals. His prime target is Nancy Pelosi. Other Democrat Representatives have called for AOC to reign him in. She can’t. He’s the one in charge. He calls the shots and the harem slaves will do what they’re told.

The Depths of Corruption – Follow the Money
Opinion May 30, 2017
Opinion written by George McClellan:
Trump is no dummy and should not be underestimated as evidenced by the skill he employed in neutralizing his main internal enemy, FBI Director James Comey. Perhaps Trump’s other adversaries should think about looking for good lawyers. Evidence, not innuendo, rumors or fake news like the “Comey Memo,” is starting to reveal the real depths of corruption that infects the highest levels of the FBI and DoJ. Comey’s job, was simply to protect the establishment, the one he was invited to join many years ago. How else could a civil servant, a DoJ lawyer on a scheduled income, become a multi-millionaire? Corrupt politics of course.
As always, follow the money! Even as far back as George H.W. Bush’s administration the money string, then as now, always seems to lead back to the cash pit that was Saudi Arabia, a Wahhabis Islamic country still funding the creation of Islamic schools in the west.
Back then, the Saudi’s had an iron grip on world energy production through OPEC. George H.W. Bush, was then an advisor of influence for the Carlyle Group investment firm and apparently had a hand in arranging a billion dollar investment, to help his friends, from a Saudi family named the bin Laden’s. Carlyle is the largest financier of weapons in the world, buying up defense companies whenever and where ever they can. The Bush’s, father and son are, or were, both paid adviser to the firm. Making money for their investors is their business and war and conflict is the vehicle that drives it,….follow the money!
At that time the FBI Director was one Robert Mueller, probably directly responsible for America not being prepared for the 9/11 attack by officially ignoring the warnings. A Judicial Watch inquiry reports that Director Mueller killed an FBI counter-terrorism initiative out of the Chicago Field Office that was following a Saudi money laundering scheme that revealed that an imminent attack against America was probable. That attack occurred on 9/11.
In 2013, there was much ‘too do’ about Obama nominating James Comey, a Republican, as Director of the FBI to replace the retiring Robert Muller. But, for the establishment elites he was the perfect choice because Comey, like many aspiring government attorneys looking for wealth and advancement, can wear any hat that fits the need, in this case maintaining the status quo of the elite, corrupt federal government. Comey’s was picked because of his long connections with the Clinton’s formed years earlier when he was a very young, eager assistant AG.
Jump forward to today and, because of Trump, the evidence of government corruption is spilling out with revelations that intelligence agencies and the FBI, under Obama, systematically violated Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act by illegally eavesdropping on millions of Americans. Susan Rice, Obama’s National Security Advisor, for political reasons, was a willing participant to protect the government. Now, it’s to protect them from Trump.
The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISA) is apoplectic learning that their authority to protect the 4th Amendment rights of American citizens was simply ignored by Obama, the FBI and the NSA. Indeed, it was the FBI Directors main job to protect the elites, old and new, from investigations like Clintons for example, which he did. Comey is now gone and all bets are off. Comey’s ‘evidence’ now lies in the hands of the new US Attorney General, Jeff Sessions.
Power, and the deadly potential of its use, has shifted hands. The media’s attacks on Trump will continue, so watch for the radical democrats to slow down a bit and let the media carry their water. Trump will do what he has to do. It is imperative if America is to survive.
The Failing Attacks on Trump
Opinion May 24, 2017
Opinion written by George McClellan:
Why the hysterical Democrats, entrenched Republican’s and their propagandists, the MSM, feel it’s important to continue their attacks on Donald Trump is because he’s a danger to their livelihoods. They have assumed Trump, despite his business success, to be a politically illiterate buffoon, evidenced by the class of people who voted him into office. That was an incalculable outrage they never expected, will not accept and will work tirelessly to reverse.
How does an entrenched corrupt political machine save itself when it’s caught in the headlights? By corrupting the very organs that could put them in prison, the DoJ and the FBI. I suspect that Loretta Lynch, former AG, could soon find herself in the dock along side other identified DemPro politicians of the Obama administration, not forgetting Hillary’s crimes as well. Lynch was stupid and got exposed. Clinton was deceitful, greedy and egocentric. She got exposed. The IRS got exposed, the EPA got exposed and yet, nobody is headed for jail!
Then comes the Comey affair. Comey, as FBI Director, was the linchpin of corrupt propriety. “We can’t prosecute her, she had no intent on her part to harm America!” The FBI has spoken and Comey was her savior. His indisputable ten year position as Director of the respected and feared FBI was thought unassailable. Or was it? Democrats trembling in eager anticipation that Comey would find or create, a Trump connection with Russia that would prove Hillary should be President, never materialized. It couldn’t because it didn’t happen. So, continue looking!
Then that sneaky, cunning Trump, the medias presidential buffoon, did the unexpected. He actually did fire James Comey while the Director was in LA. The Democrats screamed, it was a violation of protocol, bloody murder, “He can’t do that,” the Director was heading up a Trump collusion investigation so, he must have been getting close, all nonsense of course.
Immediately Comey was away on his trip and Trump issued his “pink slip” to the Directors office, the new AG, Jeff Sessions, swarmed the Directors office, seized all his files, lap tops, disks, papers, reports, names and address books, storage units, everything not nailed down and all are now in the hands of the AG, a loyal staff going through them bit by bit. A classic move, but not unexpected. Important to the firing was complete secrecy or Comey, hearing he would be fired, would have removed all incriminating evidence beforehand. It was a White House, DoJ stealth operation with DoJ lawyers and FBI Agents loyal to America eagerly participating.
Former FBI Director Comey, the epitome of the corrupted establishment state composed of Democrats and Republicans alike, embedded deep state federal bureaucracy workers, lobbyists and even, I suspect, some high ranking military officers are all now wondering when the axe will fall as surely it will. Comey was the plug needed to drain the swamp.
Comey’s professional history is a study in favoritism. He was indebted to the Clintons. He owed them his career and did so by providing cover for their crimes. His job was to kill the felony investigation of Hillary Clinton. At the same time, Comey started work on an Obama demand to monitor Donald Trump (illegally) and all persons involved in the Republican campaign to acquire dirt that could be used to hurt Trump later. This included using a fake “dossier” paid for by Clinton’s campaign to create justification for the surveillance and connect Trump’s campaign to Russians skulduggery. It failed, the scheme was exposed, the media went nut’s looking for another excuse to discredit Trump and yet, he still smiles and goes about his business of erasing the Obama legacy. It’s a pity the press hasn’t got it yet. Hate is a powerful drug.

Facing The Peril
Opinion May 18, 2017
Opinion written by George McClellan:
We’ve all seen movie scenes of people walking across beds of hot coals or struggling bare footed and naked crossing a cactus covered desert, but nothing, nothing, appears harder to do than run a conservative government with a bunch of useless damn Democrats in the way.
After three election cycles, the American people finally all but reduced the influence of the once powerful, but dangerous socialist Democrat Party to near irrelevance. So, why, why do they still command center stage? Why do they feel compelled to act as if they were still all powerful and influential to America’s future? But, more importantly, why do the Republicans let ‘em?
With endearing spokespersons like Maxine Waters screaming for Trumps impeachment, Nancy Pelosi, garbling answers to questions she doesn’t even know the answers to and Chuckie Schumer claiming how “shocked and disappointed” he was that Trump did this or that, it’s apparent they’re not going to get very far without serious help.
If they had the guts, Republicans could seize the day and actually push the Democrats out the door. Sadly, they don’t seem to have the will to fight or win against anything the Democrats are doing to stop Trump. They just seem to go along to get along with whatever they and the ultra-left wing media scream about every day. It is apparent of course, that Donald Trump is actually threatening a combined, corrupt political machine long entrenched in the American body politic, to the point that he could actually succeed so, he presents a real and present danger to their own futures that must be neutralized, at all costs.
The political discourse for the past several years has always fed into the Democrat agenda, subverted years ago by the social philosophy of Marx & Lenin to reshape the American character from one of personal responsibility and self-reliance to one of total reliance on government. That scheme, decades in the making, was so near fruition that the sudden appearance of a once in a life-time character like Donald Trump, threatening to destroy all of their slow, methodical and incremental preparation, has created their near hysteria, imperiled their future and clouding what’s left of the atmosphere of decency and respect, with a cacophony of noisy threats, accusations, and political attacks against everything Trump does.
For President Trump, the first peril to draining the swamp, while at the same time trying to run a government, rebuild a broken military and repair a shredded foreign policy left over from the previous regime, is the remaining Marxist acolytes not yet purged from government offices, bureau’s and departments, the source of most leaks. Neither can we neglect the forth estate, the ultra-leftist media, now all in to the purging of President Trump instead.
The Democrats are approaching the mid-term congressional elections with the same naive determination of a Christian pastor preaching Christ’s love in a mosque. They need to regain their numbers in both houses of Congress so, they fill the ether with pleas for donations to save the party. Georgia’s 6th Congressional district and Montana’s Senatorial campaigns, are just two cases in point. In both, the Democrat message is always the same, attack the incumbent or the Republican Party. Make President Trump a villain and therefore their support of him, almost criminal, but never, ever, under any circumstances, present an arguable need for America to return to the path of socialism. The fight will be long and hard and not helped by non-cooperating Republicans. Somewhere, there has to be an end to the RINO Republicans like McCain, Graham, Collins & others. It will come but we must be patient. Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, go get ‘em! (18May2017)
Facing the Future
Opinion May 6, 2017
Opinion written by George McClellan:
So, the Republican House has finally passed an excuse for a Repeal and Replace bill of the Unaffordable No care Act, aka: Obamacare. Don’t bet on it. Be suspicious, very suspicious. Trump is a populist and as such, he’s combatting not only the now childish Democrat party of useful idiots, apparatchiks dedicated to a socialist America but, more especially, he’s facing an entrenched “establishment’ party cunningly disguised as conservative Republican’s, equally dedicated to his destruction because he’s promised to root out political corruption in our body politic, i.e.: Drain the Swamp. Remember, the ADA was only a wealth transfer scheme.
It would seem the Democrats role in the “establishment” government has been seriously eroded in the last three election cycles and in their demise, unaccustomed as they are to losing, they want to take Republican’s, what’s left of ’em, with them. Alas, If only that were the case. The Democrats (Marxists) will never die. They will poke up here and there like weeds in a garden that constantly need hoeing and a populist Americans will be forced to contend with them seemingly forever, until they should recover and take all. There will be no more “next times.”
America’s war with Socialism, starting with the collapse of the Soviet Union, will be a never ending contest of wills, between those who believe governments purpose is to provide all for its denizens, from cradle to grave, and those who don’t. Education is not required in their plan because government will do all the thinking. How’s that been going so far?
Others, schooled in Constitutional republicanism, where citizens are allowed to compete in a free market and rise or fall according to their abilities is anathema to socialists and a danger to their plan. Education is cherished in this environment because a thinking citizen is a free citizen and a free citizen is a producer, not a taker.
The Left uses the term “Nazi” as a club to shut down dissent, debate and free speech. It’s only a word but its connotation is fearful, or once was. Except for the odd neanderthal “skin heads” and outlaw motorcyclists who fancy themselves as bad characters, we don’t have a problem with Nazi’s any more because upon the conclusion of World War Two, the victors swarmed over Germany and conducted a brutal program of denazification.
High Nazi Party officials and military General Staff officers complicit in the crimes of the Third Reich, were imprisoned, tried and either executed or jailed according to court verdicts. In the field, lesser officials were likewise apprehended and tried, without the burdens of a public Nuremberg scenario, and shot or hanged according to the desire of the occupying force that captured them. Many others were disposed of in extra-judicial proceeding and others were hunted down and terminated in foreign countries where they hid but, Germany was denazified.
After the collapse of the Soviet Union, without war or occupying forces, the poison of Marxism continued to roil about and spread in the educational systems of western countries until, by slow degrees, the children of the West, as Marx predicted, became the socialists and anarchists we face on our streets today. The fascist phenomena of a spreading Islam is just another piece of the radicalization of the west, a long term Soviet plan that never stopped functioning just because the Soviet Union collapsed. What happened to Gorbachev, the USSR’s last leader? He’s operating a Think Tank in San Francisco. Look at the dysfunction of our government today. Its the lingering result of Marxism still doing its dirty work. We must be constantly aware. Trumps victory did not stop the rot, but it is a good beginning. We must never, ever give up.
Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. No,w, go get ‘em! (05 May 17)
War, Turmoil, Distraction and Degradation
Opinion April 24, 2017
Opinion written by George McClellan:
Depending on which media outlet one chooses as their primary news source, news events are either cast as “sensational,” therefore demanding immediate response from our national political leaders, or “indifferent” in order to protect the response of our national political leaders. Turmoil and war, and the threat of war, rioting in the streets and supporting crime through sanctuary city programs are distractions leading to our degradation.
Donald Trump’s election came as a complete and total shock, not only to the Marxist oriented American Democrat party, but especially to the globalist banking elites who assumed that with Hillary Clinton’s victory, they would at last have, in place, the one final key that would cause the last domino to fall, the United States of America, to achieve their goal of a New World Order. It’s been delayed but the shock waves are still being felt worldwide. A distraction is needed. Korea perhaps?
For our socialization, the last piece of the Marxist-Leninist scheme in place to dominate America and thus, the world, was Obama’s Affordable Care Act, a carefully staged, intentional disaster, to achieve a single payer (government) scheme, but only if Hillary won. To take over healthcare, as Marx wrote, was the final step in degrading a country. If people realized it, they would oppose it. Therefore, the need for the distractions of war, turmoil and confusion.
At the moment their scheme have been halted because of Trump’s populist victory, but time is on their side and they will be back unless they can be destroyed. The Trump Derangement Syndrome now on display in reaction to Donald Trump’s election victory, is proof enough that their plans were severely disrupted. But the Left never quits. Their attacks on him will continue.
It is now undeniable, after economists have studied the records of decades of the rise and fall of nations, the economic terms of wealth and want, feast and famine, and the periods of conflict we have endured, that our history comes in measurable and predictable cycles. Understandably, we are in a war cycle now and, it was predicted.
The subversives in America, the old CPUSA, are now disguised as environmentalists, bankers, educators, church leaders, businessmen and politicians, mostly all Democrats, certainly Liberals. They have subverted our banking systems, our educational systems, by indoctrinating America’s children to think in terms of “multicultural collectivism,” and our Judicial systems by emplacing liberal judges on the bench to make rulings in accordance to Progressive orthodoxy, not constitutional law.
American’s cannot be conquered until we are degraded. By subverting the institutions that provided America its moral codes and legal standards and thus it’s prized exceptionalism, the slow, incremental degradation will continue. The mass importation of muslims into the American hinterland and the criminalizing of any ill word against them as throat cutters and women stoners, terrorists & etc. is deemed a “hate crime” and an affront to the Progressive rule of law that must be punished, not by outraged Muslims, but by our own politicians and courts. We see examples of the Left’s continued attempts to degrade us, using our own laws, in the news every day.
What’s next, war? I fear North Korea fits the bill as a distraction. For the media, North Korea is the first issue of “sensationalism.” Will we be in another war? Trump has already punished Syria on Obama’s behalf for his “Red Line” fiasco. Is it now North Korea’s turn? Why? We have serious problems here that I believe is another example of a world turmoil issue that the New World Order crowd needs, and even promotes, in order that uncooperative nations, like America, remain financially indebted, to them.
If conflict with NK comes about, I don’t see it as a conventional war, asymmetric or otherwise. NK learned its lessons from the 1950’s when we brought overwhelming airpower to bear and swept away all their efforts at defense and stymied their attempt to install Soviet style communism in the entire Korean peninsula. That won’t happen again. Instead, serious anti-aircraft measures consisting of advanced Russian and Chinese missile technology will defend their air space, not just over the battlefield, but far beyond it. A curse to the US Navy.
In the intervening decades, the NK’s have tunneled the hell out of their mountains, including multiple avenues of attack facing South Korea. Many, as yet undiscovered tunnels are ready to be opened for just such a purpose. Also, deep underground, they have labs and workshops, command and control HQ’s, storage facilities and troop cantonments buried throughout the country and, by manpower size alone, nearly one of the largest standing army’s in the world ready to swarm out and overwhelm our boots on the ground. It will be nasty because Introducing ground troops into that little patch of earth could be a military disaster and would be a political disaster leaving the worlds financiers to pick up the pieces. They’re waiting to do just that. They expect it will happen. They will fund it.
An invasion by America into North Korea would create other potential crisis for our military and political leaders, such as not accidentally violating Chinese air space for example. That’s a provocation we do not need and a recipe for certain disaster. NK has two allies, China and Russia both of which do not want to see a unified Korea under American tutelage. America could not reinstitute the1950’s era of a United Nations command structure to face the North Korean’s because two seats on the Security Council would vote “No,” Russia and China and, we cannot do it alone, even with South Korea and Japan at our side!
All we could do would be to damage the country’s surface land features, hopefully without touching Chinese land next door. And, naturally the Chinese will use the situations as a combat training opportunity for their own commanders, learning US military’s combat techniques and force application all from the safety of their borders. They will test their own electronic counter measure abilities as well and then, where will we be?
A war with No. Korea, if it comes, will be an electronic war, with satellites, drones, missiles, maybe stealth airplanes, electronic guns, hacking and cyber attacks. We’re in a brave new world now and war is really not good for our economy like it once was. Indeed, it is the perfect damper to kill free trade and economic production. Remember, follow the money!
Right now, the US is dependent on the position of the US dollar as the world’s reserve currency. Without that status the American economy is dead in the water. China has already positioned itself as a central pillar in global trade and could, if helped by a few other nations favorable to America’s demise, kill and replace the dollars reserve status very quickly. China has its own economic problems of course, but they pale to ours.
Economically, a war with North Korea would have nothing to do with the belligerence of North Korea or its nuclear program. It is a distraction. On the world stage it is a means to a greater end, one designed to financially weaken, destabilize and degrade America as the world’s one and only super power.
At the moment the American dollar still enjoys the favorable status as the world’s reserve currency. We could use it as a weapon except it all runs through the IMF and the world’s central banks, the very globalists that seeks the New World Order that our destabilization would bring.
This destabilization, turmoil and war, is the point where populations will rise up against populism, nativism and nationalism deem them unworkable as political solutions, demand peace at any price and beg them to fix it. If so, they will have won and the new ‘Dark Age’ that George Orwell foretold will have arrived.
In the end, there is little or nothing to be gained by pursuing a military confrontation with North Korea especially, on their terms. It could turn nuclear! If they shoot first, then all bets are off.
So we must ask ourselves who actually would gain from it? Are the world banks going to pick the winners and losers? If we follow the money, it can’t be good for America and it’s certainly not good for the world. So who needs a new world order anyway? Who wants it, and why? That is the ultimate question.
Political Warfare Changes Course
Opinion April 10, 2017
Opinion written by George McClellan
America’s political atmosphere has suddenly become a bit less combustible since Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell invoked Harry Reid’s nuclear option choking off the filibuster. Now, on reflection, I expect that Senators may return to being statesmen again and not obstructionists by using the only tool available for obstructionists, the filibuster.
Oh, they still hate conservatism but they’re powerless to make any changes. The Democrat party is defeated, they just haven’t accepted it yet. The worst of the problem is that the GOP doesn’t know how to lead and are just beginning to realize they are actually in charge.
Individual Republicans try to act for themselves until such time they get co-opted by the forces of Big Government. They march not to a different drummer, but each to their own drummer, a cacophony of drumbeats, each with their own ideas, squabbling in disagreement on the pettiest of issues, while the organized, machine like Democrats manipulate them into confusion and disarray. The Democrats just got comfortable and that made them lazy and careless.
It was the organized tea party’s supporting constitutional thinking candidates that started the change in the Republican party. The organized Freedom Caucus is proof of that. The GOP’s leadership, instead of working to keep Democrats happy so “we can all get along,” must now contend with a raucous caucus that is changing the course of their ship of state and, they don’t like it. Then along came Trump, not a Republican and certainly not a Socialist (democrat) making changes in the party’s name whether they like it or not. It’s the New Age Republican Party and it’s Trumps party now. His enemies are lined up to get ‘em.
Trumps trick is that he moves so fast, like the Roadrunner, (beep-beep) that nobody can fire up his programs and start the combustion they so dearly desire. Whoosh, and he’s gone on to the next project. Chuck Schumer recognizes that. Notice how he has now sounding a bit conciliatory? Forget the nominations process, it’s over. He agreed with President Trumps lobbing of cruise missiles onto the Syrian Airfield, and is actually making overtures to try to stem the death knell of his beloved Obamacare. I think he really sees salvation in Trump’s presidency if they stop rattling his cage. Trump’s a doer. He completes projects, he knows how much it’s going to cost and where to cut wasted spending. He don’t mind sharing the credit either.
Campaign wise, The Democrats are coming on very noisily. In the race for Georgia’s 6th House Dist. the Democrat candidate, a youthful inexperienced, clownish figure, has $8.4 million dollars and it didn’t come from 6th Dist. Democrat donor’s because within the Democrat party there lurks their real enemy, the killer elites, the New Age Democrat Party of the Bernie Sanders faction. They are dedicated socialists. They will be coming on very strongly and very soon. They hate the Clinton’s and the DNC who suckered Bernie Sanders into what appeared to be a fair contest for the nomination when the game was rigged all along. They will be setting the democrat agenda afire in the next year or two.
And, here all along, we thought the Democrat Party was a solid socialist party in the old soviet mold. We ain’t seen nothing yet. Bernie’s battalions will soon be organized and hitting the streets. They will do to the old age Democrat party what the Tea Party has done to the old age Republicans, snatch away their reason to exist. Ron Paul had a near similar success with his dedicated Libertarians but they fell short because they still pretended to be Republicans with a bitch and nobody likes bitchers. Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, go get ‘em! (09Apr17)
Are We Like the Romans?
Opinion March 1, 2017
Opinion written by George McClellan:
We often talk about the fall of the Roman Empire, but we don’t do anything about it. Let me try. Most of us, me included, do not speak Latin or Greek so, if we are interested in reading the ancient philosophers whose writings helped form the basis of our western culture, we must rely on the interpretation of those classics by modern scholars who do understand how they apply to our modern world today. With that understanding, the parallels become frightening!
The worlds once greatest empire, the Roman Empire, extensively written about in the classics, existed for over a millennia and covered a vast area of Europe and Africa. The strength of Its existence was its strong foundation based on Roman Law (the Constitution) until, for convenience, the law was circumvented, first by the Emperor (think Obama), then the powerful (think the Clinton’s), and then by anyone else who could get away with it (think the Democrats).
As a result, Roman Law weakened until it was inevitably ignored altogether and the once amending principles of public discourse turned into static positions as solid and unmovable as concrete, resulting in no agreement, no compromise and certainly no advancement. Sport, sensuous pleasure and dissipation were the compromise issues of the day to which all acceded.
Politically, respect for other opinions died and debate was supplanted by tribal loyalties where competitive arguments were only solved on the fields of combat. Here, we use the ballot box. The Romans, at first, absorbed other cultures making them Romans too including, later, the Barbarians (Germans, Celts, Huns) who really didn’t want to be Romans and worked to eventually undermine the Roman Republic. They too were absorbed until they turned on their protectors.
By comparison, today, many Americans, especially democrats, seemingly don’t want to be Americans any more and don’t want the rest of us to be Americans either. To bolster their positions, because America is bounded by two oceans, they import their own foreign barbarians (Islam) who definitely don’t want to be Americans and, are actually intent on introducing their own philosophy (Shariah Law) as Allah’s gifted principles for a happy existence for everyone.
In the end, the great Roman empire is now just Italy, a holiday destination. The former Greek empire of Alexander the Great, is now a bankrupt, motley little collection of islands immobilized at the hands German Bankers (the EU), the former barbarians of old, and Spain, once over run by Visigoths then Muslims, is barely hanging on to its own European identity.
Back then, issues were argued by oratory in public forums. Today, screaming barbarians disrupt Town Halls. The third actor in the play, the Mediocre Media has lost any pretense to objectivity and, by its own account, is attempting the realignment of the American mind along ideological lines it thinks we need to embrace, which includes the unlimited immigration that is bent on destroying our American democracy. They have altered the free flow of information and freedom of thought by believing it’s their responsibility to tell us what to think. They’re in a fight now!
Donald Trump promised he would drain the swamp of its corruption, I hope it includes the Mediocre Media. Trump, like the barbarians of old who lacking stealth were content to just bash in the helmets of anyone standing before them, is using his own weapons, like Tweets, to bash the Mediocre Media into submission. Ossified as they are, the MM will, in its turn, eventually succumb to the lessons of truth and learn its own lesson in objectivity. Only then can America become great again. We can’t, so long as the hounds are braying at our heels.
Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, go get ‘em! (28 Feb 17)
The Hoodwinking Continues…
Opinion March 27, 2017
Opinion written by George McClellan:
Why is tolerance never asked of Islamic supremacists who take to the streets of western nations and proclaim the ultimate victory of Islam for Allah, declare “death to the Infidels,” and claim responsibility for any attack that occurs on western streets? Why are the only people ever accused of intolerance, islamophobia, racism and hate, those who try to warn us about the true nature and magnitude of the jihad threat? On whose authority is “hate” considered a crime?
On the London-Westminster attack by a confirmed Jihadist, four people have been confirmed dead including one Metropolitan police officer, as well as the attacker, shot dead by a Minister of Defense security officer. Twenty-nine innocent civilians were injured, mowed down as they trod the streets of London. This deadly attack was carried out with the simplest of tools, a rented automobile and a kitchen knife. Are these implements soon to be banned for public use?
Britain’s Home Secretary Amber Rudd, in a display of complete jingoistic cowardice, called the attack, one on “our shared values” and, defiantly said “they would never be destroyed.” Just what, one wonders, does she mean by shared values? There are no shared values with Islam.
Her comments are a liberalistic denial of the truth, a repudiation of common sense that proves the lie of Liberal thinking that believes the West can easily absorb any and all manner of outlandish, violent, stupid, third world causes, laws, and religions without experiencing the unintended consequences of the destruction of western culture. Worse, Libs don’t accept that the West is in a war with Islam. Islam is in a war with the West, they asked for it, they praise it, they call for their followers to rise up and strike the Infidel wherever they can, all for Allah.
Rudd was in Lahore, Pakistan when the attack occurred. She said: We do not yet know the full impact of this terrible incident (Yes we do!), But I know that the whole country will be thinking and praying for those who are affected as I am. I want to thank the emergency services for the quick response and pay tribute to their bravery their courage and their professionalism.” The traditional sop to law enforcement and ambulance services. So, nothing will change!
The rest of her comments were public pablum, full of nonsense and half truths, “the Government’s top priority is the security of the people (is it?) and I urge everyone to remain calm but to be vigilant and if they see anything they are concerned about they should report it to the police. We have the best police, the best security services in the world and we must make sure that we let them get on with doing their job. The British people will be united in working together to defeat those who would harm our shared values. There’s that shared values nonsense again! Values of democracy, tolerance and the rule of law (Sharia Law?).Values symbolized by the Houses of Parliament. Values that will never be destroyed. Well, there’s that word ‘values’ yet again, as well as democracy, tolerance and rule of law nonsense.
These statements are designed to lull the British people to keep their anger at a low boil, unresponsive to the next Islamic carnage. The British government is not prepared for the possible rise up of the people. Jihadists are sneaking arms into Britain; should not the English, Welsh and Scots as well? How much more are the native peoples of Great Britain going to take before they realize the error of their politicians immigration policies and protect themselves? How is toleration of the unacceptable the right way to protect society? Do we really believe any more that we can continue to feed the crocodile without being eaten ourselves? No! Arm yourselves, take lessons and get prepared. They are coming to get you.
Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, go get ‘em! (24Mar17)
Incidental Collection
Opinion March 27, 2017
Opinion written by George McClellan:
Incidental collection, in other words, intercepting other peoples cyber communications, cell phones and internet messaging, is both a blessing and a curse, for the sender, the receiver and the interceptor. Today, it’s big business, both for government searching for crimes, and commercial services looking to sell products. Sometimes they overlap.
A person’s Internet search for specific products are electronically identified, stored and acted upon using essentially the same software technology the government uses to select whose communications is going to be recorded, with or without a warrant, for some specific use in the future, often as evidence in a criminal proceeding. Knowing what our enemy’s intentions are is paramount to protecting our country. They do it as well. Everybody does using high tech intelligence collection platforms to protect the security of their nations, their own secrets and intentions. A business does it to increase sales and profits and government does it to effect a political change or punish people. It’s all a tawdry business, but it’s not going to be stopped.
Once upon a time,1929 in fact, the precursor of the current NSA, was then called the “Star Chamber or Black Chamber.” It was an Army Signal Corp. Cryptologic unit intercepting communications between foreign ambassadors in DC to their home countries. Secretary of State Henry L. Stimson was “shocked, shocked,” that the government was intercepting communications and stopped the State Departments support for the Black Chamber, effectively closing it down. He gave as his reason that “Gentlemen do not read each other’s mail.” During WW2, Stimson became Secretary of War and completely reconciled his closing of the Black Chamber by enthusiastically encouraging the growth of military codebreaking.
Unlike the old days of mail interception, which included “mail covers,” i.e.: simply recording the to and from addresses on letters in the postal system, not requiring a 4th amendment warrant, to actually opening a letter surreptitiously, requiring a warrant, in comparison, today’s collections methods center on use of certain words that automatically activate the computers recording of the message. This is a broad spectrum sweep of the ether collecting incidental information as it hits antennas and reflectors and, includes radio, satellite and short-wave transmissions.
Other sophisticated collection methods focuses on microwave and WiFi emissions, of specific cell phone numbers assigned to specific phone bands, i.e.: foreign Ambassador(s) for example.
When the legal protections covering these methods are usurped by a desperate President, or his henchmen, then crimes of the highest order have been committed especially when the intent is to destroy a political opponent. It is here where “incidental collections” become an excuse for abandoning 4th amendment protections as accidental or as denial plausibility. These possible contacts have been recognized as probabilities in the collection arena and Congress has enacted laws, under the 4th amendment, and FISA laws, to protect the people identified by such interceptions. Revealing the names of Americans identified by such incidental collections constitutes a felony and, if ignored, constitutes another serious crack in the Constitutional foundation of the rule of law. It also destroys trust in our government.
The Left promotes and protects these exposures as long as it works in their favor. Imagine the agonizing screams from Schumer, Pelosi and John Lewis, were Obama to be indited for his part in authorizing such interceptions. It’s getting close but don’t count on it. Protect yourselves, they are out to get you! Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, go get ‘em! (25Mar17)
