Seeing Some Trees in the Forest of Babble
American Thinker ^ | Oct 20, 2019 | Clarice Feldman

Posted on 10/20/2019 5:59:52 AM PDT by upchuck

The hypnotic babble of the media beguiles otherwise intelligent people into believing that Russia colluded with President Trump to defeat Hillary Clinton, that Trump forced Ukraine into investigating Hunter Biden and did something, we can’t say what, to be impeached, and that thousands of poor Kurds are being displaced because we pulled some hundreds of our troops from the Syrian-Turkish border. Rational, fact-based analysis shows all this to be untrue, but breaking through this hazy thinking is not an easy task. Maybe because that’s the true aim: eradicating reason totally. In chaos the most nutty rule.

I’m far from home in Hawaii this week and worried how -- given the time difference and circumstances -- I’d be able to report on the inspector general’s report on the origins of the “Russian Collusion” fandango. News accounts earlier this week indicated it would finally be released this Friday. We are now told that it may be another two weeks before we see it. Most explanations are that the agencies involved in the illegal snooping are warring about the content. I think otherwise. I think it was delayed because of newly acquired information obtained by Attorney General William Barr and Prosecutor John Durham.

Crossfire Hurricane

Most particularly, the two men recently returned from Italy where they met with the mysterious “Maltese professor” Joseph Mifsud and obtained from him two BlackBerrys. I believe that Mifsud was working with the coup plotters to set up a pretext for the spy operation and, if so, the BlackBerrys apparently given to him by them should prove the case. (We learned of their existence and the Justice Department’s obtaining them in a motion filed by Lt. General Michael Flynn’s attorney, Sidney Powell, demanding the data in them in the discovery process.)

AG Barr’s investigation will grow SO big it will it will take AT LEAST another 5 years....and employ THOUSANDS of DC lawyers....and finally peter out after the 2024 inaugural.

No, not first. The Eeyore-Bronx-cheer-it's-raining-and-I'm-bored school of political analysis predates the Phoenicians, I'm sure.

I don’t find the media babble hypnotic. I find it extremely annoying and disgusting. So I pay no attention to it. As for Barr’s investigation, are we still waiting for that mythical IG report? You know...the one we’ve been waiting a year for? The snail’s pace of the investigation (if there really is one) has been leaving the President twisting in the wind. It, more than anything else, has enabled the Dems to keep shifting from one phony charge to another, keeping their impeachment drive at a fever pitch.

The media are paid to lie. Truth never enters their reports if they can help it.

Tried the link and soon got a scary phishing attempt that replaced American thinker, froze my browser and asked for user name and PW. I used task manager to close the browser and I think that might have fixed the problem. I have been on American Thinker site before and don’t recall any problems so maybe it is not related to that site.

Homer I visit Am Thinker on a daily basis and have never had a problem as you describe.

Perhaps the site has been hacked.

I should mention I use Ad Block Plus and Ghostery. They do a good job of cleaning up a web site.

Thanks. I used to visit the site frequently. Not so much in recently. I will try again later. It could have been unrelated to that site. The article looked like a good read before the trouble began.

“OCONUS LURES” is an FBI acronym for an operation to lure a person back to the U.S.

“OCONUS” is “SUNOCO” spelled backwards. Huh?

Er, you lost me with all that theology, but we're all praying with the same conviction for the same convictions. So, Oremus for the cause, and please pass the popcorn.
