Not to be a wet blanket, but I’d be surprised if anything too dramatic happens in the next 1-2 weeks. This is going to be a long process, the OIG report is probably going to be the heaviest shoe to drop, at least with respect to what’s happening in government, and that’s a month or two away. Even if there are indictments and trials, etc., that all will take many years. They still have the major media organs, and given the Republican quisling factor, the elected government is still at least partially in their hands, not to mention the bureaucracy, judiciary, etc.
But I could be wrong, never hurts to be prepared!
I think keeping a steady personal presence amid the chicken littles who will be running around yelling, “fascist takeover!”, and steadily spreading the facts in whatever ways we have available will be the best that we can do to be helpful.
That was my/our perspective here-to-fore.
It's just that some clear enough nuances, signals seem to be now indicating otherwise. We can certainly be wrong about such data bits/puzzle pieces. What if we're right?
Agree about this being only the start of a long process. A few months ago no one had heard of Strzok and Page, now we’re reading their most intimate conversations. A month ago nobody knew there even was a memo, now we have it. And so on...
It HAS to be done slowly to avoid disrupting markets and tanking the economy and it has to be done right so a lot of hard work doesn’t end up with slaps on the wrist and no real change.
We just need to be patient and ... see tagline.
>> They still have the major media organs
Agree. I think that’s an important point.
But maybe to help dry out that wet blanket a bit, I think some of the indictments are going to be for media types. Or if not indictments, at least some action to remove people. We’ve seen Weinstein fall, and Ailes? or somebody high in one of the networks. Newsweek magazine was recently raided.
I think we need to be super careful NOT to impinge on the freedom of the media. That would indeed prompt screams of “fascism” and similar. But how do we get the truth out when the media is lying, spinning, and omitting the most important facts?
What do you think?
