18. Have we forgotten Russia, FBI, NYT, the AP so soon?

Nov 2017

This nation was blanketed in lies that intensified to a blizzard as we came up to election day. They were almost all lies about Hillary, but that's because she was the Democratic Party candidate for president.

They were an enormous effort to keep power in the hands of those who'd serve the kleptocrats who engineered it, both American billionaires and Russian. Which is to say, the Republicans.

Btw, a Foreign Service officer has now issued a warning that treason may be involved in the dismantling of our foreign service. She doesn't use that word, but the warning is clear.

Imagine a store with no one at the counter. What do people who come to purchase, deal, get help negotiating a peaceful solution to a dispute over water do? They go to another store. Now imagine that "counter" is America's all over the world, and nations who come find no one there. Where do they go instead?

Today's Republicans serve very, very bad forces. We're the good guys who had to be stopped.
This is "why" it happened.

It's also why we really must investigate Comey's actions, remove from office and imprison the traitors among us, require TV and cable networks to dedicate time to genuine news, and break up the giant multinational wire services like the Associated Press. And, of course, destroy the billionaire class before it destroys us.

"One risks underestimating how intense the struggle for power is going to be." -- David Frum
