To separate myths from realities, I believe you must keep the investigation simple; myths require complexity to exist.

The first myth is that Donald J. Trump stole the election from Hillary Clinton with the help of the Russians. Since myths do not require proof or evidence, only belief and righteous indignation, the Trump collusion charge is a near-perfect myth. After two years of investigation by a Special Counsel and the FBI, no evidence, as in none, has been found. What has been found is an unwavering attempt to manufacture evidence that continues, even though no crime has been identified and collusion itself is not a crime. The crimes that Mr. Mueller continues to ignore are the numerous crimes committed by the Clinton campaign, the Democratic National Committee, the FBI, and the Department of Justice.

The collusion mythology carries on only to damage a duly elected President and his Administration. For the first time in my memory, the entire power of the government under President Obama was used to ensure power was passed to another Democratic (socialist) candidate. When President Trump clearly won a compelling number of Electoral votes, the leftovers of the Obama Administration became the deep state and created a Special Counsel that, by the laws governing this process, was illegal from the beginning. In America, “rule of law” and “due process” require the government to investigate crimes, not to abuse the rights of citizens in the search for a crime. If there is no crime, there cannot be a lawful investigation. The myth is that there was a crime and President Trump is guilty of that crime. Since the myth is clearly false, the Special Counsel’s investigation is a political witch hunt which must be terminated with a return to “due process” and the “rule of law.”

The second myth is that the President is engaging in a no-win trade war when he uses tariffs to seek reciprocal trade agreements with other nations that have taken advantage of American goodwill for decades. All the socialists or progressive members of the Democratic Party, the “Never Trumpers,” and the “Globalists,” or “One-Worlders,” are radically against the President.

This group includes the people who brought us the “Rust Belt” and little or no economic growth. These people are only after personal and corporate wealth. They have been trained to seek the highest return possible, no matter where it comes from. If they think the source of steady high returns for the investment dollar come from China, Japan, Europe, or any low cost of labor area, that is where they invest. It doesn’t matter where the profit comes from as long as they and their clients get rich.

Trade imbalances with China, Europe, Canada, Mexico, and elsewhere are not problems to them. Steady profits are the name of the game. Rust Belt cities, unemployment lines, falling wages, slow growth in America are not factors in their drive for profits. When Wall Street, bankers, the Federal Reserve, globalists, and money managers rail against President Trump and his use of tariffs to bargain for reciprocal trade agreements, they are simply trying to protect their foreign investments.

When America’s manufacturing moved to foreign lands, the money people got richer. Their investments grew, and their clients prospered, while the rest of America paid the bill.  Trump is not engaging in a trade war, this is a myth. He is simply bargaining for a better deal for America, and he is willing to fight the money establishment to get that better deal.

Joel was keeping within the speed limit, even though he desperately wanted to get north of Georgetown on Route 17 before the State Police would be looking for his car. Once there he could decide where it would be safest to stop for the night. He had some minor burns on his neck and arms that hurt like hell. Joel had no feeling for the people who died in the fire. Just the feeling that he had lost his capital and the hard work he put in to build his business. Thank God, he had saved the images of the young girls in their moment of death. Those couldn’t be replaced. Each one was unique.

He had enough of al Qaeda. If all they could do was destroy his business in a failed bombing attempt, he was done with them. Take their money and disappear. He didn’t care if he ever touched another rug. He would find another way to support himself and his real work of hunting and killing young women. His research was much more fulfilling than selling rugs and acting as a boarding house keeper for occasional terrorists. Let the man from Herat try to find him.

When Joel’s van parked in the rundown Vision Motel in Surfside, the CIA helicopter that had tracked him from his rug shop in Charleston reported his position, and a ground surveillance team vectored into the location took up position around the motel. Frank had instructed the team to maintain discreet surveillance but do not lose the target.

The next morning Joel drove over to the Citizen’s Bank of Surfside. After going through the identification procedures, he emptied his safety deposit box of two different identity packages and $100,000. Now he was equipped to disappear. Using his new identity as Robert Huxley, he bought a five-year-old gray Ford Explorer in good condition with 40,000 miles. It was a cash deal in a small used car lot that was hurting for business. No questions were asked, and he drove off with dubious temporary plates.

His old blue van was parked two blocks from the used car lot. Getting rid of it would not be a problem. Parking the van in a nearby strip mall with the keys in the ignition and no plates would attract some of the clientele hanging around the cut rate shops. Pulling up several slots away from the van, Huxley AKA Hankins removed the van’s plates, took his reserve of stolen plates from under the back floor mat, and drove off in his Ford Explorer. The temporary plates would last 30 days.

When Joel’s car was out of sight, one of the three surveillance cars pulled into the mall and parked beside Hankins’ abandoned car and removed the tracking beacon. Frank instructed his surveillance team to remove the beacon Kathy had placed behind the grill and not to install it on another car. The Professor was far too street smart. He’d check Hankins’ car for beacons at the first opportunity.

In my last blog, I promised to follow-up with some things we non-socialists need to do.  The first and most important thing is you need to recognize what is happening. You need to accept that the historical Democratic Party is gone in everything except its name. The left-wing ideologues have adopted the teachings of Saul Alinsky that are laid out in his book Rules for Radicals, a book you should at least skim to understand the impact this socialist writer has had on the American Democratic Party. (A few of his noteworthy sound bytes: The issue is never the issue and leading from behind.)

Don’t be confused by the Democratic Party’s selection of issues. To them, all issues are simply tools or means to destroy the opposition (Republican Party) and seize power (the issue is never the issue). The end justifies the means for the followers of Alinsky if the ultimate intent is to weaken the opposition and seize power. Therefore, socialists can take any side of any issue and switch sides at any time. They are not interested in solving problems. Their single goal is the acquisition of power. Powering this motivation is the sincere belief that only a socialist elite can manage the American economy and nation to benefit all the people.

The socialist message is well-designed to attract followers who feel disadvantaged and believe they are owed certain benefits from the government. “From each according to ability and to each according to their need” is a message consistent with many religions, liberal writers, thinkers of past and present, teachers, administrators of public schools and universities, media members, and the entertainment sector. Most of these people are not problem-solvers, nor entrepreneurs, nor builders, nor veterans, nor law enforcement. Most socialists preach collective goodness, not individual rights or freedoms. They are very willing to limit the choices individuals can make in favor of a centralized body that can make decisions on behalf of all citizens.

The reason socialism has such an unblemished record of failure is that socialism must centralize all aspects of society for it to manage the economy. Centralization of all aspects of a nation cannot work without coercion with a special kind of reward and punishment. The elite managers get rewarded as ruling party members and the people get punished by losing the scope of choice in the most rudimentary decision-making for themselves, their family, and friends.

Don’t be fooled by the socialist message.

Oppose centralization of the government and of our election process and any attempt to abolish the Electoral College.

Don’t give up your freedom to make your own choices.

Support the rule of law. Western civilization was built of the rule of law. It is the cornerstone of the Constitution. (The current Mueller investigation is, indeed, a fraudulent attempt to investigate an area where no crime has been committed. The nation cannot survive corruption in the Department of Justice and the FBI.)

Do not support the abolishment of any Amendments to the Bill of Rights.
Do not allow unlawful immigration. Work to secure our borders.

If we do the above, socialism will find no home in America.

It is time for Republicans, Independents, and moderate Democrats to wake up and toughen up. Right now, they don’t even recognize the kind of struggle they are facing.

Well-funded, organized,and motivated socialists have taken over the Democratic Party. The old party we grew up with is gone. The leaders of the Democratic Party of the past would not even recognize the far-left political group that has stolen their hallowed name. They would be embarrassed by the mob antics and constant willingness of the progressives, who now own the Democratic Party, to use any means to achieve their goal. That goal, as described by the writings of Saul Alinsky, is the seizure of power.

According to Alinsky, who was the ideology mentor of Barrack Obama and Hillary Clinton, there are no issues to pursue to make the nation or the people better. Issues are only to be used to destroy the opposition. Alinsky’s book, “Rules for Radicals, is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand the current political struggle.

I am amazed by the number of politically astute people who believe the Democrats’ failure to capture the Senate and a larger margin in the House in the last election was due to the Democrats pushing the wrong issues. Wrong: They had the right issue – the seizure of power. Alinsky preached in his role of as a ‘Community Organizer’ in Chicago that “the issue is never the issue.”

He also is the author of the phrase “leading from behind” which President Obama often used. Both Hillary and Obama are ideological followers of Alinsky. Hillary was a close friend of Alinsky for years. All this is to demonstrate that the current antics of the Democratic Party have their roots in a very radical but effective strategy. Mob demonstrations, caravans, and violent attacks on their opponents are the tools of revolution for the socialists. The funding, training, logistics, planning and strategy is all coming from the radical left.

For example, the caravans and illegal immigration actions are simply an effort for the socialist radicals in the Democratic Party to gain the voters they need to overwhelm the Republican Party and achieve one-party rule. These tactics have been effective in the past when the opposition failed to understand what was happening.

My next blog will describe things that need to be done to prevent a socialist take over of America. Yes, it could happen here.

 The suspense is over. Both parties claim victory, and both are right.  The Republicans added to their narrow margin in the Senate and the Democrats gained control of the House by a narrower margin. What difference does it make?

From the President’s view, not much.

He may find working with a Democratic House easier than trying to get legislation through the former Republican House under Paul Ryan, especially with two big items like infrastructure and health care. Both parties and the people would benefit from focus on these bi-partisan issues. But behind those two popular areas lurk the disposition of the Special Counsel’s office and the re-establishment of the long absence ‘rule of law.’

A new acting or permanent attorney general will immediately take a hard look at Mr. Mueller’s work. Has he gone beyond his charter? Does he have any evidence of collusion of the Trump campaign with the Russians? Did Deputy Attorney General Ron Rosenstein give the Special Counsel undisclosed wider scope? It is very likely that the tenure of Mr. Mueller and his Democratic staff are numbered.

The second area for the new AG leadership to explore is the areas that have been uncovered concerning the FBI’s corrupt leadership to undermine a sitting President, the corruption of the various parts of the Intelligence Community, the failure of the Sessions’ Department of Justice  to investigate the alleged corruption of the Clintons and their profitable foundation, the weaponization of the IRS, DOJ, FBI and the Intelligence Community.

At the core of the ‘Deep State’ issue is the use of government departments and agencies to assist the party in power to maintain its ruling position by illegally surveying American citizens without due process. Several laws have allegedly been broken by the Obama Administration to facilitate the Presidential campaign of Hillary Clinton. Both parties need to have these areas thoroughly investigated before we can put the charges to rest or bring the guilty persons to justice.

Our republic is based on the ‘rule of law,’ and we need to make sure no one is exempt because of position, wealth or political expediency.
