So, this year's Trial of the Century concluded in New York, a city that was once the symbol of a great country; and what we told readers nearly a year ago would happen did. The deposed President of the United States was tried and convicted of doing essentially the same thing that former President Clinton was tried for in 1998: having an affair and lying about it when he got caught. In our postmodern New World Order, anything (officially) considered sexual impropriety is held by the Ameroboobs to be a greater crime than anything else. Being accused of that in America not only effaces a lifetime of good works; actual crimes---no matter how egregious or heinous---are typically hand-waved off as good business or smart politics.
Our friends at Vulture of Critique are, as of this writing, been the only ones who've bothered to ask the question that the Media should be asking: What was in the jury instructions? We'll probably never know (for National Security Reasons, of course); but if we to hazard a guess, it was probably a montage of what has happened to other high-profile and lesser-known personalities who didn't do what the Deep State asked them to do over the last few years. I'm sure that all through the 'trial' jurors were reminded subtly that even a former President wasn't above the law beyond their reach.
The Controlled Opposition---which has expended infinitely more time and energy defending Israel than it has defending its own candidate---predictably is clutching its collective bowtie and pretending to be outraged over the verdict. "Today is a shameful day in American history! House Speaker Mike Johnson fumed, “The American people rightfully see this is lawfare, and they know it is – and dangerous,” although Johnson largely owes his current position to Lawfare and colluding with the Democrats.
Tucker Carlson managed to blame the verdict on illegal immigrants. "Import the Third World, become the Third World!" Carlson commented. "That's what we just saw. This won't stop Trump. He'll win the election if he's not killed first. But it does mark the end of the fairest justice system in the world!"---as if the corruption in our Legal System only started last year---and adds: "Anyone who defends this verdict is a danger to you and your family."---as if anybody on the Right actually cares about threats to the American family.
Anyone interested in reading a flurry of this kind of hypocrisy can find a collection of it at the Log Cabin Republican site, Breitbart News. Julie Kelly, of Fox News, said about the only sensible thing among the entire punditocracy: "Republicans stood silent for 3 years as Biden’s DOJ/FBI investigated, raided, charged, prosecuted and incarcerated 1,400+ Trump supporters for Jan 6. They not only tacitly endorsed it but funded it. Of course this unprecedented conviction of Donald Trump would be the natural result. Today's verdict is as much an indictment of GOP weakness and cowardice as it is the lawless Marxist tendencies of the Democrats."
Exactly. Those who rig elections will have no problem rigging trials. Voices like Julie Kelly's are drown out, though, the mass-denialism that the True Believers in the 'Conservative Movement' routinely engage in. They've learned nothing from any of this: “Either way, the real verdict is in November!” proclaimed WEF Young Global Leader and potential VP pick, Vivek Ramaswamy. As if we can expect a fairer election than 2020 was; or that the same people orchestrating this trial aren't going to have any say over the electoral outcome in November.
Trump's legal problems and Republican complicity in them is by design. The lack of any support from the Party has opened a channel for Bush Machine-connected billionaires to step into the void and buy influence. Shortly after the verdict was announced, Shaun Maguire of WEF-connected Sequoia Capital plopped a $300,000 mega-donation to the Trump Campaign. Earlier today, it was reported that Tech Lord Elon Musk and Bush-Machine mega-donor Nelson Peltz were holding meetings with the campaign for top advisory positions. Peltz also serves on the Board of several of the WEF's corporate Strategic Partners, just as many of Musk's operatives are active within the apparatus of the Great Reset, and many WEF operatives work within Musk's Corporate Empire.
Well said! I actually posted nearly the same thing Julie Kelly did, "Today's verdict is as much an indictment of GOP weakness and cowardice.." I left off the part about Marxist Dems, but yes I absolutely hold the R's responsible for their negligence if not outright collusion.
ReplyDeleteSomething I've been trying to discuss with people on social media, these aren't "crimes." It is not illegal to have an affair. It is not illegal to hang out with porn stars. It is not even illegal to pay "hush money." It just aggravates me to no end that the general public does not seem to understand that these things are not illegal, as in against the law and carrying potential criminal penalties.
This tendency to casually throw around words like "crime" and "illegal" over things that are at best a matter of morality or social mores, irks the heck out of me. This is basic civics 101 and it's really important because if ALL sins are now perceived as illegal, as criminal acts, we ALL become potential criminals.
Exactly. Vices are not crimes. We're really into an advanced form of Political Correctness where media and public opinion is deciding what should and shouldn't be considered criminal behavior. The Right is just as guilty of this. Consider that Greg Abbott denounced the Trump verdict---two weeks after pardoning a convicted murderer for political reasons. Trump himself even last weekend offered to commute the sentence of a convicted drug trafficker to win votes. When the Democrats do things like that, it's denounced as 'Judicial Activism.'
DeleteElastic definitions of legality is a hallmark of all Totalitarian Regimes. Dictatorships draw much of their power from the fear they instill because everyone knows that they could be 'guilty' of something at any moment depending on the Regime's whims.
