A QUICK RESPONSE TO “ WINS FOR DEMOCRACY”

I’m no more a fan or supporter of president Trump than I am of President Biden. In my opinion we scraped the bottom of the political barrel and these two came up, which to me is a very sad reflection on the American people but after a long line of poor leaders, both democrat AND republicans, it’s what we should expect. If anyone thinks Biden and his family are less corrupt than Trump’s then they are deluding themselves. Creepy Joe has lied, plagiarized, and defrauded his way to the default position he now finds himself in and has abused women all along the way, just like Trump. The only positive historical note I can attach to Trumps time in office is that he did not start any new wars. Almost all previous presidents back to Eisenhower either started wars, military conflicts or rode at the head of the Military-Industrial-Intelligence-Complex to trumpet and continue bloody exploits. I’ll post again the article explaining why and how America has bled itself to the point where most of the world is watching this media circus and not thinking it is a good day for democracy. It is a distraction like a wrestling match in the mud and the media is blasting it out as a colossal battle of justice over corruption.

The ship of state has been allowed to run itself onto the rocks these past seventy years while everyone from second deck on down has been fighting about how to arrange the deck chairs and what music the bands should play. Instead of striving to be a nation that other nations look up to as wise and prudent, good stewards of our natural resources and making sure the people are fed, housed, healed and educated, we have squandered it on actions of empire building. Almost eight hundred U.S. military bases scattered around our world are not protecting anything but the business of war. Go ahead, cut yourself eight hundred times, small cuts, and a few big ones like Vietnam, Yugoslavia, Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria, Ukraine and see how long you stand.

MILITARY SPENDING, AGAIN

This is a slightly different take on our state of affairs. Regardless of ones opinion of his content, one can read this from a purely literary view and applaud James Howard Kunstler for the master wordsmith he is.

This below is Michael Moore’s 4/5/23 message to his readers. Usually these messages come every week or two. Now we have had two very close together relating to the charges that Donald Trump faces. I am posting these on BBQ in hopes that some people who have not yet recognized him for the danger to democracy that he is, who have not yet recognized him for his criminal actions violating the American people for his criminal actions perpetrated over decades in behalf of his own private gain, that these people will now recognize all that he is and the evil that he represents.

Michael Moore is a brilliant writer and interviewer, always working for the democratic rights of ordinary Americans like all of us here in Tillamook County.

Dear Criminal Defendant #4913961R:

Thank you for showing up without incident yesterday for your arrest and arraignment. You appeared somewhat bewildered as to why you were there. As this is only the first of a number of criminal charges and arraignments for you that will follow from other prosecutors, I think it’s only fair that I give you the lay of the land as to what’s ahead and why this is happening.

First — and I don’t know why no one has told you this — but your assessment is correct: We ARE out to get you and bring you to Justice. You tried to illegally overturn the election and overthrow the government. You were refusing to give up your seat in the Oval Office and decided to stage a coup. It’s that simple. And now the vast majority of the country wants a legal way to stop you from causing any further destruction. And truthfully, we don’t really care how we get there. As long as it’s honest and legal, we the people are going to throw whatever available book we have at you. Somebody should tell you this. I just did.

Have you read the 34 felony count indictment and its “Statement of Facts” against you? I have. Wow — I mean, it’s stunning in its brilliance and construction. It puts you in a real choke-hold and yet allows the prosecution even more room in the coming months to crush you even further. I’m thinking you must have some sense of this and your impending doom.

The prosecutor you’re up against, Alvin Bragg — the one you call “an animal” and “a criminal” — he’s been a prosecutor for nearly 20 years. He’s helped put hundreds of criminals like you away. I know, I know — he’s Black. Just like those five innocent teenagers in Central Park that you tried to get a jury to send to the electric chair. Just like the thousands of families you and your father refused to rent your apartments to for decades until the federal government stopped you. Yes, that kind of Black! Yes, karma does suck! Yes, that was your father in the KKK parade way back in the day. Now you’ve got three Black prosecutors — the Manhattan D.A., the New York State Attorney General and the Fulton County, GA, prosecutor — all coming after you. Revenge for sins against them and all who look like them? I hope so! But, seriously, Black America has never really made us truly pay for their suffering, either the cruelty meted out to their ancestors by our ancestors, or the hand they themselves have been dealt by a society that still seems comfortable with the average white family in 2023 having a net worth 8 times that of the average Black family.

No, Defendant #4913961R, these Black prosecutors, whom you hurl racist insults at — including the one where you, New York’s leading racist, called them “racists(!)” — they are serious professionals who are just doing the job the majority of voters sent them to do. One of those jobs is to send you finally to prison.

All 34 charges against you are felonies. You conspired with others to silence people who had information the voters might possibly like to know before they cast their vote. You only won because of the 77,000 votes you got in Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania. How many would have changed their minds if they knew certain things about you? Your hush money payments went to at least three individuals, all with the intent of keeping the public in the dark in order to throw the election your way. And to cover it up, you told your lawyer, Michael Cohen, to take out a “home equity loan” for himself to pay off these individuals so it wouldn’t look like you had anything to do with it! What an idiot!

So, Defendant #4913961R, do you now understand why this is happening to you? And why we don’t care whatever the reason is they’ll be sending you to Sing Sing soon?

You attempted to blow up our democracy.

You led a violent uprising in which people died.

You tried to overthrow a presidential election, an election that you brutally lost.

You are on tape privately bullying the Georgia Secretary of State to illegally stuff the ballot box with 11,780 votes for you that did not exist.

Then You got 147 Republican members in Congress to vote to steal the election for you! Is there a greater act of treason in a Democracy than the outright theft of an election and thus the overthrow of the elected government?

You hate this country and what it stands for.

And the vast majority of us know it. That’s why we tossed you to the curb in 2020 and then put you on a garbage barge to Florida. You are correct to assume we and the prosecutors we elect will charge you and arrest you for ANY legal reason we can find.

Last night, in your continuing crusade to incite violence, you and your son posted a photo of the Judge’s daughter online. It was your way of threatening him with violence. You know it will take only one of your psychopathic supporters to commit a heinous act. Do you have any idea what tens of millions of American parents would do to you if you did anything to threaten their child’s life?

You’re upset because you think we’re prosecuting you because of a porn star? HAHAHA!

Look, we’d arrest you for anything we legally could — littering, parking tickets, jaywalking, you name it.

Anything to stop you from staging another coup. Anything that would stop you from endangering the life of that Judge’s daughter. Anything we can legally do to stop you, we will. You remember Al Capone. They could never get him on the murderous crime organization he ran. So they got him for lying on his income taxes. Nobody cared. The public wanted him put away by any legal means necessary. We’re Al Caponing you, Don.

Your crime spree, which began in 1973, is coming to an end.

Deal with it. Pack a toothbrush.

Do you recall the article in the Atlantic written by Emily Oster? “Lets Declare A Pandemic Amnesty” after all she says- “we didn’t know!”
I didn’t read the article then, but there were a lot of comments about it on the Internet. Hell NO! No Amnesty – was the response to the article- because the cost was way too high. At the opening of the Oregon legislative session – either this year or last year – someone spoke of the damaging residue due to the response to Cxxxd. Three or four Oregon teenagers committed suicide. School kids lost ground in their education. Babies no longer reach developmental milestones. Child abuse went up -people lost their jobs, their businesses, their livelihood – Those people who “knew” would not get the youknowhat, lots of discrimination against those that wouldn’t get the youknowhat – In one little town here- Where people are considered to have more education than in the rest of the little towns around here, was it an echo, a replay, of what happened to a group of people in WWII, singled out because they were different? They are “others”, let’s hate them – and a new term “ virtue signaling” was rampant in the hearts and minds of many people both here and abroad. People wanted other people to show their “youknowhat card” in order to partake in anything social. And one local medical clinic announced that those who “knew” would have to be seen in the parking lot.!!!
This author says in her article – “lets focus on the future,” after all, she says “We Didn’t know”. And there it is – WE DIDN’T KNOW! But my question is, Why didn’t “we” know? This author is well educated, The well educated are supposed to have critical thinking skills. BUT “WE” DIDN’T KNOW? How is that possible.There are a whole lot of people with just basic eduction that knew! People all over the place knew! They were censored but we still got to read them. The question is Why didn’t you know? The answer is – you didn’t want to know, and you don’t want to know now. Let’s just forget about it. Just like the some people didn’t want to remember what happened in WWII.
