Alphabet Soup

As I watch the news on the recent revelations about even more info coming to light vis a vis Mrs. Clinton and her email situation, courtesy of disgraced US Representative Anthony Weiner and his proclivity for showing his body parts to members of the fairer sex, I keep coming back to one question concerning all of Mrs. Clinton’s scandals. Why now?

She’s already been cleared of any criminal wrongdoing concerning her use of a private email server. Although, in testimony before Congress, FBI Director Comey’s responses to a litany of committee members’ questions, at the very least, sounded like a disqualification against her bid to hold the highest office in the land. The WikiLeaks brouhaha made her, her campaign, and the entire Democrat party establishment (deservedly so) the objects of a lot of scorn, derision, ire, and betrayal, especially among Bernie Sanders supporters.

The Russians, or at least hackers with ties to the Russian government have been blamed for the release of these documents to Mr. Assange and Company. The reason given, of course, was to directly or indirectly influence the outcome of a US presidential election. The Democrats, the media, and a few establishment Republicans feigned outrage over such an act, despite the fact that we’ve had our own dealings overseas doing just that in the third world. 

I’m going to go out on another limb and suggest that it wasn’t the Russians, the Chinese, or anyone closely associated with those governments who pulled this off. I’m thinking that we need to look a little closer to home. We have a hodgepodge of alphabet soup agencies in this country responsible for maintaining the security of this nation and ensuring the safety of its citizenry. In the process of accomplishing these tasks, they have been empowered by an all-encompassing law that was passed in the wake of the 9/11 attacks. Of course, I’m referring to the Patriot Act.

Edward Snowden has been called a lot of things, patriot, traitor, useful idiot, but the one thing that needs to be reinforced amongst all reading this is that he was the source of the disclosure about how much information that federal agencies like the NSA have been collecting on the average American. In testimony before a Senate committee, James Clapper, the Director of National Intelligence, was asked the question about whether he knew that the federal government was spying on American citizens. His response was that the government didn’t do so willingly. The senator posing the question already knew that statement to be a bare faced lie.

In light of the fact that we now know that Big Brother really is watching us, should it come as a surprise to anyone that those at the highest levels of government would be given even more scrutiny? It has been put forward by a television talking head or two that the NSA may actually have all of Mrs. Clinton’s deleted emails. That should not surprise anyone, especially in light of the fact that it was recently uncovered that at least one email service provider may have been charging law enforcement agencies a fee for emails collected on certain individuals, without a warrant. That’s right, corporate America is getting rich selling our information to the government. Barring any sort of written policies or agreements between the subscriber and the company to safeguard personal info, this action is completely legal.

If the NSA had access to the trove of emails from Mrs. Clinton’s servers, as well as gaining access to the accounts of those individuals and organizations she may have been in contact with, then it stands to reason that the folks poring through the information contained therein may have become deeply troubled by the picture that was being painted for them. These sorts of revelations would have been earth shattering, to say the least. You have a candidate for the presidency of this nation who has engaged in the very sort of activities that have sent “untouchable” mafia chieftains to prison, yet their political masters, based on previous instances of corruption and malfeasance at the highest levels of government, haven’t even bothered to lift a finger.

It may be one thing for the hacks in DC to politicize the security of this nation, but the Clintons have taken things a step further and commoditized it. They have been able to capitalize on their positions of power and influence to enrich themselves and their cohorts at the expense of the US taxpayer and our national security (Google the name Uranium One). It’s not much of a stretch to see how a fifth column movement could come into being with the express purpose of exposing such egregious/criminal behavior. Remember, these folks are not political. They are hard-working career people who swore an oath to protect the Constitution, the very fabric of our republic, from all enemies, foreign or domestic.

The question concerning who these documents should be “leaked” to was a no brainer. The only major concern was how to cover their tracks, or in this case, the fingerprint they would leave behind. Given the fact that Vladimir Putin and his government had become a thorn in our sides over the past few years, I’m sure that played a major role in deciding how to disperse the trail of breadcrumbs in such a manner that there could be only one conclusion drawn from what had transpired. Just about everyone fell for it, they were successful.

Based on what we now know, due to waves of disgruntled FBI agents who were about ready to mutiny, Director Comey was basically given no choice but to re-examine any and all Clinton related emails coming his way courtesy of one Anthony Weiner. But what if this wasn’t the only driver of his change of heart? What if that fifth column I mentioned earlier was also whispering into Mr. Comey’s ear? 

Of course, what they’d be whispering to him about would be the scope of information that they had collected on Mrs. Clinton, her campaign, and the party establishment. They’d let him know that he didn’t need to feel intimidated by his political superiors, that he wasn’t alone and that all he needed to do to get back into the fight was to act on the information being provided. This truly was becoming a conspiracy of light.

Pushing all of the political rhetoric aside, no one really knows what a Trump or Clinton presidency would look like. All one can go off of are the track records that the candidates bring to the table. In Mrs. Clinton’s case, it’s one riddled with corruption, double dealing, malfeasance, and vote rigging, to name a few. My guess is that this was more than enough for the keepers of the flame to step in and actually live up to that oath of office.

Q: Who watches the watchers?

A: They’re doing a damn good job taking care of themselves.

Clarity:

Life is one big lesson divvied up into smaller, teachable moments called experiences.

There is a light at the end of the tunnel. For some, it will be the headlamp of an oncoming train or semi. For others, it will be the freedom that only enlightenment can bring. With my luck, it’ll be the former and not the latter.

Context is key because it helps put things into proper perspective.

Time and distance tend to better enhance our perspective on events.

There are a bunch of folks out there who can’t see the forest through the trees. That’s why they keep running into them. Once you start seeing the forest through the trees, everything else begins to make sense.

Our ignorance does two things to us. It gets the better of us and brings out the worst in us. The same can be said for apathy and arrogance.

Stupidity is an equal opportunity destroyer.

Someone suffering from delirium has obviously lost whatever tenuous grip on reality that they though they may have had.

Common sense vs fear. One tends to keep the other on the run.

Where there is fear and confusion, there is opportunity to make a profit and take advantage of others.  (An extension of the Emmanuel Doctrine)

Opinions are like assholes, everybody has one, but it’s the ones that make the biggest stink that tend to garner the most attention.

Common sense, sound judgement, and basic decency never go out style.

First rule of civil discourse: never say anything that you’re going to regret later on.

A little knowledge is a dangerous thing, not because of what we know, but because of what we don’t know.

If arrogance is stupidity taken to new heights, and hubris is arrogance run wild, then what does that tell us about hubris?

Dealing with the continual intrusions of reality upon one’s reverie normally signals the beginnings of maturity. 

The problem with conventional wisdom is that when it comes to the real world, it is neither.

Perception is not reality, it only colors reality.

Oh, how the truth damns those who would deny it.

The truth is a wild and strange creature, incapable of loyalty or subservience and uncontrollable in its fury.

Sometimes we make fools of ourselves by believing things that aren’t necessarily true, while denying the very things that are.

The things we ignore at our own peril are just that.

Reality, the truth, and the facts have this nasty habit of turning arguments/debates in their favor. Additionally, they could care less what any of us think and tend to hang over our heads like the Sword of Damocles.

You can use the truth, the facts, or reality to back up your opinion, but you cannot present your opinion as the truth, the facts, or reality.

 Half the story indicates half-hearted intentions and half-assed effort.

 Denial may not be a river in Egypt, but for some, it has become the only way to counter the truth, facts, and reality.

The fact that you agree or disagree with what’s being put out isn’t as important as what’s being said and who’s saying it.

Something that may be simple in theory may not be that simple in practice.

We need to stop thinking about ourselves and start thinking for ourselves.

When you start spouting nonsense, or promoting it, don’t act surprised when things start taking on a life of their own.

 A work in progress is just that. It is by no means a finished product.

Our ignorance informs our biases and our biases continually feed our ignorance. An unbroken cycle.

In the absence of being able to eliminate, the best we can do is educate and mitigate.

Failure is neither an option, nor an outcome. It is a setback that needs to be overcome.

Inspiration. Mother Nature is the original muse.

The source, of course, is where you go, to learn from an entity that’s in the know.

The older we get, the more age and gravity affect us.

Life and the world around us don’t happen in black and white, or shades of gray. They happen in living color.

When it comes to dealing with double-edged swords, the most intelligent course of action would be to stay out of the arcs they cut.

Correlation does not necessarily denote causation. But every once in a while, where there is smoke, there are either smoldering embers or a raging fire.

I don’t need anyone making life difficult for me. I do a good enough job of that by myself.

There’s nothing wrong with being wrong, but apparently, there’s something wrong with being right.

Where there’s duplication or multiple signs, God’s trying to tell you something.

When there are too many coincidences, there are too many coincidences. If things aren’t adding up, there are probably reasons why. Finding out is of paramount importance.

When you’re willing to believe in one falsehood, you’re more than likely willing to believe in others.

Our lives become a lot less difficult when we stop denying certain things and admit the certainty of others.

 

Politics Government & Civics:

Cronyism, demagoguery, and identity politics have been the root causes of the stunted development of many societies/nations and the downfall of others.

In crony capitalism, it takes two to tango, and Washington has been Wall Street’s longtime dance partner.

The one ultimatum evil doers around the world need to hear at some point in their miserable lives: cease and desist or cease to exist.

A few choice words about moral hazards: 

• The untenable positions we put ourselves in are the ones that tend to create the most difficulty for others.
• Suddenly finding oneself in the deep end of the pool is one heck of a time to start learning how to swim.
• Government is by far the biggest underwriter of moral hazards.

 

We live in a selfish, materialistic society. Government, instead of trying to curb or discourage us from such attitudes (which it has no business doing in the first place), at times seeks to take advantage of these vices for its own selfish purposes.

In the war of ideologies, truth and civility are among the first casualties.

The politics of divisiveness, the divisiveness of politics.

Ya gotta love government mandates and edicts. You’re either being spoon fed or force fed.

When there is no infrastructure, there is no inertia. When there is no inertia, there is no resistance. When there is no resistance, you can make a clean break with the past and start over.

The liberal/progressive model for an ideal society can be summed up in two words: no consequences.

I prefer to view politics through the unfiltered lens of history rather than view history through the prism of politics.

 Dogmatic individuals tend to suffer under the myopia of their convictions.

Moral Relativism: changing the world, one gullible mind at a time.

Multiculturalism is nothing more than identity politics wrapped in the cloak of diversity.

The social justice movement relies on two key components: victimhood and identity politics.

Politicians tend not to let the truth, facts, or reality stand in the way of a good narrative.

Politicians are predictably pathetic and pathetically predictable.

If you want black lives to matter, then black dads matter.

Disney Imagineers and Democrat Reimagineers. Fantasy Land at its best.

The left, the Mainstream Media, and never-Trumpers hate this president so much, that they’ve even attempted to try and force reality to bend to their will. Good luck with that!!

The ABC’s of legislative procedures in Congress: Arcane, Byzantine, and Cumbersome.

A public service message from the political Left: You have questioned our authority. You have deviated from our orthodoxy. You have failed to comply with our wishes. You will be canceled!

The Left’s answer to inequality? Institutionally mandated mediocrity.

Humanity has made more advances via incremental progress than the sum of all the quantum leaps, paradigm sifts and seminal events that have occurred throughout human history.

Cancel culture is nothing more than a bunch of petty, small-minded folks who subscribe to a zero-defect mentality, except when comes to themselves.

 Sheep were meant to be shorn and the flock consists of true believers, useful idiots, and gullible rubes. 

If you put the fox in charge of the henhouse, expect more chicken dishes to show up on the menu.

Woke is to politically correct, as hubris is to arrogance.

A disease that becomes endemic in a population negates one’s ability to peddle fear. A disease that remains a pandemic, on the other hand, makes it easier to do so.

On the people, therefore, of these United States, it depends whether wise men, or fools, good or bad men, shall govern them.
