If Elliot Ness was untouchable, James Comey seems to have needed regular caresses.
Fuck these people. Fuck these self important, self righteous, morally hideous assholes.
In turn, James Comey, in addition to all the partisan bullshit he did (today’s headline: https://www.infowars.com/foia-dump-reveals-collusion-between-lynch-fbi-and-media-to-bury-clinton-meeting/ ) should have dropped the “Russian interference” investigation as soon as he knew that Russia did not hack John Podesta, as that is the only credible claim that was ever even made. The rest was a series of scandalous allegations that would have fit for the Weekly World News, but not even the National Enquirer. This, by the guys in well tailored suits, with tough faces, who inherited the work of deserving to be worthy of being thought of as Untouchable.
So, we really have to ask: how corrupt IS the FBI? So I look up Robert Mueller, and lo and behold, he was sworn in on September 4, 2001, exactly one week before 9/11.
As I have pointed out often–I really don’t think I need to use the word “argued”, since there really can be no discussion among those familiar with the evidence, in my considered opinion–the September 11 attacks involved a much larger conspiracy than just the hijackers and Osama Bin Laden. First and foremost, the FBI would have been responsible for discovering and revealing this. They failed spectacularly. To note perhaps the most spectacular failure, no test was ever done for explosive residue, despite the utterly unprecedented nature of ONE, much less THREE, skyscrapers falling at freefall velocity into their own footprint.
But there are many, many examples of near certain cover-ups, as I have pointed out from time to time.
For example, the explosion of Flight 800 over Long Island: http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/obama-pilot-twa-flight-800-shot-article-1.2186329
The death of JFK, Jr. I can’t take the time to find a good link, but there exists a good documentary out there which points out that the weather was not bad, and that numerous witnesses reported hearing an explosion, and seeing a fireball, and that, as with the Flight 800 explosion, the FBI quickly took control of the investigation, then pushed out some bullshit after a suitable amount of time.
The Oklahoma City bombing. All the video footage disappeared. Bomb damage experts claim that a surface explosion could not have caused that damage. Here is a link to a former Air Force General Ben Partin: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rCYIn8QzRjI
I have posted on him from time to time. As he notes, he knew within a couple hours somebody was lying. His professional specialty was both measuring and predicting bomb damage. That was his job in the Air Force, so literally no one could be better qualified to call bullshit than this guy.
And the FBI, in the course of the investigation, seems to have tortured a man to death. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenneth_Michael_Trentadue
This is a short list. I need to get to work.
But we have to contemplate seriously the notion that this agency is TRULY corrupt. That they are not just playing partisan politics, not just protecting political allies, but that they are complicit at high levels, and have been for at least 3 decades or so, in covering up political murders, and staged or accidental (which is a possibility in Oklahoma City) mass events which had major political consequences.
Trump needs to take this idea seriously. He needs to develop a plan to investigate the FBI itself, what it knows, what it is covering up, how a culture of contempt for the law has been allowed to evolve and flourish, and most of all he needs to figure out how to root out the corruption.
What Trump has on his hands is massive. If he were an average person, I would say it is overwhelming. But he has shown time and again an agility, a tenacity, and a will to win which could quite possibly carry him to the important victories we need in protecting the American people–and the world, because as goes America, so goes the world–from our own government.
Ponder the immensity of the possibility that both the CIA and FBI have become de facto agents of the Globalists. If Trump were not in office, I would despair, but I take hope both in the fact that he is, and that the American people, in sufficient numbers, were awake enough to put him there. Both are good signs.
And even cultivating beauty when it is easy is worthwhile. We are all wild animals. All we have to do to become angels is remember this, and remember at the same time that we are human beings. The collision does the rest.
Early on, very early on, I cited Lincoln’s comment on Grant: “HE FIGHTS”. This is what Trump does. He actually seems to like it, up to a point. As a strategist myself, in my own life, I have OFTEN been guilty of impatience, likely most of the time, even now. It is not a conspicuous virtue of mine, to put it charitably.
But I want to say publicly that I remain very bullish on Trump, continue to believe whole heartedly that he wants what is best for America as he sees it, that this cannot be said of most of Congress, or most of our massive Federal bureaucracy, and that our best hope of avoiding the de facto takeover of our nation by shadow elites armed with technology which was overwhelming fifteen years, and of a presumably exponentially more powerful character now, is for him to continue castrating and sending out to pasture all the thousands of people who mean him, and the American way of life, ill.
Being President is no small thing. The intent of his enemies is to shrink him into a small defensive perimeter, but who wants to hide in a bunker? He has many, many tools at his disposal.
For my part, I wonder if firing Rod Rosenstein for failing to fire Mueller for his patent conflict of interest might be a start. I wonder if entire divisions of the Justice Department can be terminated.
There has never been any evidence the President broke any laws, yet a long term investigation has been launched. That should concern anyone HONESTLY concerned with our Republic, its laws, its principles, and its traditions greatly.. The patently politicization of the intelligence agencies, itself, should warrant an FBI or other investigation. They are not allowed to operate on US soil. Who prosecutes them if they do? This is a very relevant question, because they did, and likely continue to do so.
This whole thing is unbelievable. It is as bad or worse than any of us imagined. The extent of the moral deviancy is astonishing. Seemingly no one wants to do their job honestly any more.
For his part, Mueller has sealed his fate as a partisan hack, in my eyes, unless he turns an utterly unexpected corner. What I expect is that he will begin to subpoena Trump’s financial records, and dare him to pick him off. He is playing a game of chicken, self evidently, and appointing the Grand Jury is designed to make it harder to fire him.
What I would note is that no matter WHAT Trump does, there will be an ocean of outrage. At some times, you have to take large risks. He knows this better than anyone. A very large number of us can see exactly what is happening.
It just hit me how ironic it is that I am using the example of the Soviets to exonerate the Russians and condemn the Americans.
With the passage of time, everything becomes everything else. We have been on our way to a fascist autocracy for some time. Who knows: perhaps the Russians are on their way to a new Enlightenment.
Much of this requires much more knowledge than I have or am equipped to acquire for some time.
But always remember all the players, particularly when one of them is not playing any VISIBLE role.
The Saudis, of course, are another player. They donated some $200 million to Hillary’s campaign, or so I read. That is a lot of money. And that is the VISIBLE money.
This money paid off, obviously, although not in time to prevent the fall of the terror state which sponsored it. Human stupidity, as Einstein quipped, is in addition to the universe the only thing which is infinite. People pay to listen to Michael Moore. Howard Zinn’s book still has legs. I still see the name of Noam Chomsky to this very day, when he should be hiding in shame at the atrocities he has supported. What else does one need to know?
Be that as it may, we exist in an era where the very “disinformatsiya” methods which the Soviets perfected are being used by OUR OWN intelligence agencies–which were in large measure founded to COMBAT Communism–AGAINST US.
Consider the Russian sanctions. What did the Russians do? Nothing, as far as I can tell. They were the targets of a very conscious disinformation campaign launched by our intelligence agencies. What was the actual reason people believe the Russians interfered in our election (more than, say, the DHS, which reportedly tried to hack the actual voting machines in Georgia)? BECAUSE OUR INTELLIGENCE AGENCIES TELL US SO.
And so they plant this rumor, then get policy enacted–sanctions–based upon it. This, in turn, damages our relations with Russia, TO NO BENEFIT FOR THE UNITED STATES.
As I keep saying, somebody in the Deep State–many of whose members, obviously, are not in the government at all, but are rather utterly evil, utterly morally bankrupt individuals who seek the consolidation of their quiet and invisible power–wants Russia to be disenfranchised. I see claims that Putin alone among world powers keeps resisting the Globalists. This is as good an explanation as any. The Chinese certainly seem to be cooperating, and perhaps quietly funding and supporting in many ways much of this activity. That, actually, would be another good explanation.
Be all that as it may, we have got to get people who are not interested in the well being and prosperity of America first and foremost out of their jobs, out of the private sector, and retired to places where we can keep an eye on them. Jail would be a great first choice, but forced de facto house arrest would be fine too.
Here, Seymour Hersh asserts that the FBI has known for over a year that Seth Rich was who leaked John Podesta’s emails. They apparently found correspondence between him and Julian Assange. He apparently initially asked for money, which he did not get, seemingly.
In spite of this knowledge, Mueller’s pal James Comey still pursued a criminal investigation of Trump–but not of Hillary, not when they followed no standard procedures, and offered no charges even for crimes they found evidence she clearly committed–based on nonexistent evidence. It was this investigation, itself, which should never have been started, which enabled Mueller to get appointed when Comey got shit canned, as he richly deserved.
Hersh also states what should be obvious by now: our intelligence agencies consciously and with anti-democratic intent engaged in a systematic disinformation campaign, along Soviet lines, intended initially to damage Trump, and then to create the opening for Mueller to step in and further in their absence the planned coup against Trump. They are literally using tools developed to destabilize foreign regimes in our own country. They were eavesdropping on Trump the candidate, Trump the President-elect, and for all we know Trump the President, and using that information to destabilize him, to create propaganda against him, and are now fishing for something, anything, with which they could bring about criminal charges.
This is not the action of an agency which honestly represents the people. They are not seeking truth or justice, and are certainly not giving a shit about the law. All of this is in support of a partisan agenda which has as its aim the increase in their own power and wealth, and the corresponding decrease in freedom and well being for the rest of us.
Self evidently, there are LAWS against our intelligence agencies operating domestically, and certainly laws against our internal police having political ambitions, and playing a direct role in our political process. If one studies, say, Roman history, when the Pretorian Guard gets too much power, even the pretense of democracy is over. They become king-makers, and no would be king dare defy them. That the king makers would hide in the shadows, but wield vast power covertly, is really something close to the substance of history, but it could and has been made much worse by the power of technology.
It is in my view literally the case that hundreds of people SHOULD go to jail, even though it will be a snowy day in July in Arizona before that happens.
But who knows? Trump has balls. We will find out eventually how big.
But evil and goodness flow from roughly the same place, which depends on the myth with which we approach the world at a very, very, very fundamental level. Evil is nothing more or less than rejecting life. It consists in nothing more or less than pushing away, avoiding, hating.
There is a push and pull at the heart of all of us, and the process of releasing freedom, of releasing Goodness, is one of allowing movement at the very core of our being, and necessarily this involves connecting with our potential for evil, for rejection, for moving back in fear, attacking, hating, isolating oneself at the core.
Evil has a texture, a feeling. So too does Goodness. And until you can sense these textures, feel them deeply, understand them, and WORK with them like clay, you have not touched authentic Goodness, what the Tibetans call Windhorse.
What most people call goodness is assumed goodness, and Lord knows this is what Christianity has acted to broaden and reward over its history. Assumed goodness, of course, is doing the things “good” people do. It can even include teaching yourself to believe that you feel all the right things at the right times. If you cannot convince yourself of the truth of your lie, you see, within Christianity you can feel little but terror if you also lack the psychological wisdom to get beyond what bedevils you.
Now, most psychologically healthy people are basically good, in truth. They do not feel the tremors and confusions, and irrational angers of people who have been traumatized. So for them something like Christianity can act as a useful aid in pursuing what become in most respects honestly good lives.
But the process of assuming goodness can also, of course, create evil, which is the point I am trying to make here. When you need to believe you are good, then you hide your darkness, your Shadow, as Jung put it, from yourself. No person can become spiritual without growing to know and deal with this evil.
I think of Rouseau’s “Noble Savage”, who it turned out was from a tribe of warlike cannibals. Such people did not need to assume goodness, because for them it was not a religious duty. They had things they had to do to remain a member of their group, but false piety was not one of those things, and in the course of their lives, they had frequent occasion to express hatred, rage, and violence directly without remorse.
So one could say that such people are not good, per se, in that they are seemingly not expressing the infinite love of God, but they are also not hypocrites.
We know enough, I think, as a species, to figure out how to live in peace with one another. But honesty comes all too hard to far too many people, whose comforting illusions they find congenial, and which they give up only under the most extreme duress.
Even simple foods like Indian chapatis can be fermented if they are simply allowed to rise for a time, after being exposed to the natural yeasts that are everywhere.
And I look up studies, and come up with, as one example, this one: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15562743
The presence of phytic acid and gluten are two of the arguments used against bread consumption. Gluten, too, seems to be predigested in most fermentation processes, which is what sourdough leavening is.
I have long made the self evident point that if bread were really that bad for you, it would not have become a staple in so many places. (and, obviously, the poor health of people who lived ONLY, or even mainly, on bread cannot be used as a valid argument, since anyone living ONLY on bread is going to be malnourished).
We take so much of what we do for granted. We take our bread, to take the present example, for granted. We assume that sanitized and industrialized yeast is how “bread is made”. But this is an invention of the past century, or perhaps the 19th at the latest.
It is odd to ponder how we are rediscovering the wisdom of our parents and those who went before them. Coleslaw and potato salad–cruciferous vegetables, and resistant starch, which is in effect a prebiotic. Resistant starch passes through the small intestine relatively intact, and then feeds the bacteria of the large intestine.
Pickles: probiotics. Same with yogurt, kefir, and other such foods, which also protect the immune system.
