I’m stealing that.
Good job.
LOL. “I’m stealing that”. Fast learner!
Actually, I am completely serious. If you think about what components of our society are based upon fraud , it is staggering. We could begin a discussion as to when this began, and that could be a lengthy discussion, but certainly one of the benchmarks was comey’s refusal to recommend indictments for Hillary Clinton. If no respect am I saying that that is the first instance of fraud; certainly the banking crisis was another era of systematic fraud. Because in that episode, not only were the perpetrators allowed to walk, but the amounts of money were multiplied by a thousand. Prior to the banking crisis, the word trillions was generally not used, except by Carl Sagan talking about light years, or some biologist talking about bacteria...
Okay, so not wanting to compare what you or I believe is the biggest fraud or most damaging fraud... because that is a useless discussion....I think we have to acknowledge that the major forces in society and government had indeed tipped to fraud. I have said 50 times on this forum that about 85% of the people in Washington DC are simply awestruck at the amount of money the clintons and Gore and Biden have been able to steal, or if you don’t like the word “steal”, to grift for themselves. And they, the 85%, internally believe “wow if I was able to get one or 2% of the amount of money those folks were able to nail down, I would be set for life”. And this is what they do. They are there for that end. The clintons have set very clear examples, and it has been ratified by Biden. In the sense that people look at Joe Biden and say “geez if someone that dumb (maybe not dumb, but seriously non brilliant) can pull off the grift that he has pulled, then there is hope for me.” The next piece of evidence I would submit would be the disposition of the Awan case. Here, a guy who stole from the DNC, who broke into servers and disseminated classified information, who had two or three relatives on the payroll of the DNC who had utterly zero qualification, making as much money as a senator each, was actually paid to go away. And now we have the final example, the election. There really isn’t any room for nuance anymore. I’m not going to give you an example of one and walk away. The United States is now fundamentally based upon fraud.
The 85% people have come to understand that there is more money to be made selling out USA interests to China, and collecting even pathetic Commissions, then there is working for what used to be thought of as righteous, self-affirming, US- Centric causes.
There is more money to be made shaking down Procter & Gamble to contribute to your social justice cause then there is trying to compete with a company like Procter & Gamble.
I could go on and on. But for me, it is an inescapable conclusion, and the challenge is not to get so depressed about it, especially when you realize the scope and scale, that you blow your own head off. It is a done deal. If the results of this election are accepted, then the United States has in form and in fact ratified fraud as the underlying dynamic of its existence. I do not see what there is to wonder about any more.
