So, tomorrow the Impeachment Show begins – live TV
entertainment. You may watch if you like
that sort of thing – a crusade based on hatred of an individual, not unlike the
bullying by the “in-crowd” against a successful outsider. This is a not so good
sequel to the Russian Collusion show. If
you don’t realize that this is all just part of the ongoing coup/now revolution
jihad then you have not been paying attention.
Yes, it is really that ridiculous, and if it weren’t so
frightening for the survival of America and all for which it stands, then it
would simply be a rather poor comedy.
But it is not. Last month I wrote
about how we were no longer in a coup, but now a revolution (LINK). My final words (before quoting “Revolution)
in that post were
America is under
attack. What was an angry outburst
against election results has moved from a childish outburst to a coup and now a
revolution - a full out challenge to the established political order,
government, culture, and their related associations and structures. This matters. This is a challenge to every American. And every American who is involved in this
revolution needs to be very clear on what they are doing while those of us not
involved need to do everything we can to educate those warriors and defend our
country from their attack.
The revolution is going full force ahead. The frightening results that we face as both
individuals and as a nation are made woefully clear in an excellent piece by historian
and scholar Victor David Hanson; LINK . His
final lines in this essay read, “One side will say, “”Just give us more power
and we will create heaven on earth.”” The other says ““Why would anyone wish to
take their road to an Orwellian nightmare?”” The 2020 election is that simple.”
Why, you may ask, am I quoting something about the 2020
election when this post’s title and beginning are focused on impeachment? The answer is very simple: the Impeachment Show is nothing more than a
Democrat campaign strategy to keep Donald Trump from being re-elected. Anyone who examines the alleged evidence
realizes there is just nothing there – nothing other than innuendo and gossip
and perhaps some actual disagreement about policy. But nothing impeachable. Let me repeat that: NOTHING. Just as there was nothing there in the
Russian collusion show; nothing there in the Kavanaugh #metoo show, nothing
there is the daily diatribes against the President. NOTHING, NOTHING, NOTHING.
The Impeachment Show is a campaign strategy and part of the
overarching campaign to remove the president from office (the original coup
attempt) and now the broader campaign to completely remake this country (the
ongoing revolution). As a campaign
strategy it allows the Democrats to justify not doing what the people sent them
to Washington to do (things like pass laws that benefit the people and the
country, debate important issues, etc.).
They are too busy with impeachment to do anything else, and so they
justify a failure to serve the people who elected them. And, by their doing nothing, the President’s
agenda becomes stalled, so they can argue that he did not accomplish what he
should. Further, it allows Democrats to
throw all sorts of dirt at the President and the Republican party – the sort
that you see and usually object to in the ugliest campaign ads – claiming that
they must release this hearsay and innuendo as part of an open impeachment.
Of course, you must realize that this is anything but an
open and fair process. The key witnesses
are avowed anti-Trumpers who consult with Democrats before coming forward. Adam Schiff (who salivates every time he even
thinks about removing Trump from office) has been running and continues to run
a Star Chamber sort of process.
For those not familiar with Star Chamber, it was a court
process that existed in England from the 15th to mid-17th
centuries. While it was originally
created to fairly enforce laws against socially and politically prominent and powerful
people whom ordinary courts were reluctant to convict, it became synonymous
with social and political oppression through the abuse of the power it wielded. Its proceedings were secretive and its
judgments arbitrary. It became an
instrument of oppression rather than justice.
One can see why Schiff’s impeachment show is often linked to
Star Chamber. He is using what in the
past has been generally a fair process and corrupting it to his purposes of removing
the President from office, or failing that objective, of destroying his chances
for re-election. This is in effect both
social and political oppression as it attempts to remove a duly seated
president and overturn the will of the people with absolutely no valid legal
basis for doing so.
Until tomorrow the hearing has been in secret with even Republicans
(and through them the people they represent) denied access. Questions by Republicans have been
disallowed. Schiff met with the “whistleblower”
before he became a whistleblower, and both are avid anti-Trumpers. Schiff determines what witnesses can be called
and which can be cross-examined. He
suggests written questions to the whistleblower instead of live testimony. Yet it is a basic principle of American
justice that one is allowed to face his accuser. No one knows what went on in Schiff’s secret
hearings – what Schiff may have said or how he may have coached witnesses. His selectively leaked information must be
viewed as tainting any future testimony and his ability to selectively allow or
prevent witnesses and testimony makes the who process more of a show trial than
an actual quest for justice.
The list goes on; you need only consult the daily outpouring
of information. The problem is, however,
that the mainstream media fails to report much of what is happening if it even
sounds, let alone is, averse to the Democrats’ position. This is not surprising since they also fail
to report the many positive accomplishments of the President for our country,
or, when they do, they couch them within something portrayed as negative.
Those who hate the President will simply accept without
question the narrative of the Democrats.
Yet, anyone who gives it the slightest thought will see how weak and
contrived this impeachment claim is.
First, we don’t just give away taxpayer money to other countries without
expecting something in return. Any taxpayer
who thinks we do should be screaming in objection. There is always some sort of
exchange (“quid pro quo”) and hence that alone is certainly not an impeachable
offense.
Second, the country has a valid interest in learning about
foreign interference in our elections, and the President’s request that Ukraine
investigate that was valid. Similarly,
if a sitting Vice President used his influence to benefit himself or a family
member financially or to demand the firing of someone within a foreign country
who was investigating his son, the country has a right to know about that and
the President was within his right and it was his duty to ask the Ukraine to
investigate.
Third, if a sitting Vice President might now become a
candidate for President, that does not negate the justification of
investigating questionable acts made during his Vice-presidency.
Fourth, there is absolutely no evidence of direct request
for “quid-pro-quo” of aid for investigation, and certainly not simply for
political reasons. Indeed, not only the transcript
reveals no quid pro quo, but also some very credible witnesses have clearly asserted
there was no quid pro quo.
The bottom line is clear.
There is absolutely no evidence (unless you consider someone’s addition of
their own narrative to actual concrete fact to be “evidence”) that the
President asked for an investigation of his possible opponent in return for our
foreign aid. It just didn’t happen.
What is happening is a group of people, led by Schiff, want
to unseat a sitting president that they think the people should not have elected. This has been their goal since 2016. And the Impeachment Show is just their latest
episode in their on-going drama. Watch it
for entertainment if you wish; but, understand that the underlying concept is based
on hatred and malice the intent of which is to overthrow that which we know as
America. The Impeachment Show may look
like a comedy, but if it is allowed to reach its sought-after conclusion, we
will see that it was really both a horror show and a tragedy.
