The Impeachment Show

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 15^th to mid-17^th 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.

We’ve Seen This Scam Before – Don’t Be Fooled – It’s Just A Weapon in The Ongoing Coup Attempt

Today we learned that Adam Schiff had advance knowledge of the whistle blower’s potential allegations.

Haven’t we seen this story before? 

You will recall that Diane Feinstein and other Democrats had advance knowledge of Christine Blasey Ford’s allegations against Justice Kavanaugh and she, along with other Democrats, helped her to prepare her presentation, find lawyers, etc.

Now we learn that Adam Schiff, the Democrat who will be in charge of the impeachment investigation based on the complaint of a whistleblower, had advance contact with and knowledge of the whistleblower’s possible allegations.  We can reasonably assume that Schiff gave the same sort of “assistance” to the whistleblower that the Democrats gave to Ford.

These two cases are frighteningly similar.  A few days ago the mainstream media was upset that President Trump re-tweeted the comment that impeachment would result in a coup.  At that time I noted that we were already in the middle of a bloodless coup. That fact, if it wasn’t clear then, just gets clearer every day.

Coup, short for coup d’etat, literally means stroke (death) of state.  It has come to refer to the overthrow of an existing government, an illegal and unconstitutional seizure of power.  While coups are usually quite violent, they can be carried out in other ways.  And it is a coup that the Democrats are pursuing.

Let’s just look at their impeachment push.  They have a complaint from a whistleblower that we now know they consulted with before the whistleblower actually came forward with any complaint.  They are basing their impeachment push on the fact that the President had a phone call with the leader of another foreign country, the Ukraine, in which he asked that leader to investigate both that country’s involvement in any interference in the 2016 election and the known fact that the son of the former vice president received certain favors from Ukraine while his father was in office and made some questionable demands upon Ukraine and its leaders.  The Ukrainian President has said that he was not coerced or compelled to do anything by President Trump.  There is no evidence of any demand or quid pro quo in the transcript of their phone conversation.  The whistleblower says that second hand sources told him there was some sort of demand or quid pro quo.  The evidence simply does not support the whistleblower’s claims.

That’s it.  Not unlike the claims that Ms. Ford made against Justice Kavanaugh.  After meeting with Democrats she came forward with allegations that initially sounded damning.  But once the evidence was revealed – evidence that the Democrats did not expect to be presented – her story fell apart.

And, here we have the allegations of a whistleblower that initially may sound damning, but then, the President released the transcript of the actual call – an act that the Democrats surely did not expect – and the whistleblower’s complaint does not match the facts.

But facts don’t matter when you are waging a coup.  The goal is not to find truth or to stand for and protect our country.  The goal is to destroy this country or at least its form of government.  That is perhaps why Rep. Schiff felt empowered to read into the record in a serious committee hearing, a “transcript” of the phone call that included statements by Trump that were not there and which Schiff knowingly made up.

Everything that the Democrats have done since the election results of 2016 has been an attack on our form of government.  First and foremost, they have sought and continue to seek to overturn the will of the people.  That alone is an attack on our form of government - it is the people who vote for and choose our president and their voice and their vote should be protected, even when you do not like the result.

Beyond their attack on the people, the Democrats are attacking our government.  The President is under constant attack from his enemies – not a political disagreement about policy, but a full out attack.  Every action he takes is assaulted from every direction possible – filing of innumerable and at times frivolous lawsuits to stop or at least stall legitimate presidential directives; media that rather than objectively report facts serves as simply an opinionated mouthpiece for the President’s enemies; demeaning and attacking the character of the President’s supporters in a continued effort to silence them. 

Beyond the President and his office, the Democrats attack the other departments and personnel of the Executive Branch of government.  They are currently threatening to take action against the State Department and Department of Justice if they investigate questionable and possibly unconstitutional actions of the prior administration or that might implicate Democrats.  That is, they want to silence any possible investigation that might reveal their illegal and coup-directed actions.

The Democrats also fail to respect and support the judicial branch of our government when they threaten to impeach judges and justices whenever they render an opinion that the Democrats do not like and when the Democrats threaten to pack or otherwise change the makeup of the Supreme Court if it does not render decisions that the Democrats find acceptable.

In addition to direct attacks on the President and his supporters (i. e. the people),  the Executive Branch and the Judicial Branch of our government, the Democrats are more than willing to ignore constitutional and legal requirements when it serves their purposes.  Hence they persist in silencing speech, denying due process, ignoring presumptions of innocence, selectively enforcing laws, etc. 

We could go on and on.  But the point is that we have clear evidence that the Democrats are not only attacking President Trump himself but are attacking the office of the President along with the Executive and Judicial branches of our government.  Our form of government requires the three but equal branches along with the concept that the government is of/for/by the people.  The Democrats’ attacks on two of the three branches along with their attempts to overthrow the will of the people are nothing more than an attempt to overthrow an existing system of government and to unconstitutionally seize power – that is, the Democrats’ actions are the very definition of an attempted coup d’etat.

The current impeachment probe is nothing more than a well-staged battle in their attempted coup.  A coup requires support, and the Democrats along with their media spokespeople will use the whistleblower allegations along with the many claims that Democrats will create as growing out of those allegations to try to gain support for their impeachment push which they envision as providing support (perhaps unwitting) for their overthrow of our form of government.

There has been no impeachable offense committed by the President unless an impeachable offense is now defined to mean anything that the opposing party says it is.  Anything.  Just a way to overturn the will of the people and accomplish a coup.

The Democrats have a president whose style many do not like.  The Democrats use his style to fault the many accomplishments that it has achieved.  And they will try to convince the American people that an unlikable style is somehow an impeachable offense that will allow them to overturn the will of the people.  Yes, they are using the people to destroy the voices of those very same people.

At this point it doesn’t matter if you like President Trump or not.  It doesn’t matter if you agree or disagree with his policies.  What matters is that there is a coup in process and if the people do not stand up for the Office of the President of the United States of America, if they do not stand up for our Constitutional form of government, if they do not stand up for our Constitution itself and our Laws and the rights of the People, then they will have no right to complain when the will of the people is no longer a voice in our government.   Because if the Democrats succeed they will have destroyed our form of government which gives voice to and listens to the people; they will have stolen our voices and our power and instead will speak and make our decisions for us. 

If the Democrats succeed in their coup attempt, they will have replaced our form of government with one in which a select few who think they know better than we the people will have overpowered, usurped, and stolen the will of the people.  That is, we will be at the mercy of people like Adam Schiff and other Democrats who are willing to lie, cheat, and destroy lives in order to obtain and maintain ultimate power over all of us.  That sounds too much to me like a dictatorship, and not the Democratic Republic that gives us a voice and the power and the right to make our own decisions and have our own individual voices.  And, for that reason if for no other, every American should stand against the ongoing coup attempt and stand for our American Democratic Republic.

Credible Is Not Necessarily Truthful

 As you read the whistleblower complaint HERE  and listen to carefully selected soundbites from today’s Intelligence Committee hearing with the National Intelligence Director, it may be useful to keep some definitions in mind.

“Credible” means something able to be believed or capable of persuading people that something did or will happen.  It is synonymous with the word “believable” which means something that is able to be believed.

“Truthful” has a very different definition from “credible.”  It means something which expresses the truth.

When a person files a complaint against another alleging some sort of injury or damages (e.g. someone alleges an injury because the person against whom the complaint is filed ran a red light), that complaint when filed with the court will be viewed as credible.  Then, facts will be investigated and the “credible” complaint may or may not be proven to be truthful (e.g., maybe the facts will show that the light was in fact green, or that there was no light, or that the light was not working, or that the person filing the complaint had no injury). 

Generally, those facts that prove something initially seen as credible to be truthful or not will be based on people with actual knowledge of the event and other direct evidence, and not on third party information.

When the whistleblower complaint was filed about the President’s phone call with the Ukraine, the allegations were labeled credible.  That is, they were able to be believed but they were not at that time proven to be truthful.    The Democrats have latched onto that word “credible” and keep repeating it over and over hoping to somehow create the impression that “credible” means that it is truthful and factually supportable.  That is simply not the case.

When you read the whistleblower complaint it should immediately strike you that the whistleblower has no direct knowledge of that about which he is blowing the whistle. While what he alleges is “credible” – able of being believed, it has not been proven to be truthful.  His sources are second and third hand and even the media.

We now have direct evidence – the actual transcript of the phone call. HERE   That proves that many of the “credible” allegations about the President’s phone call are not truthful.  There was no quid pro quo offer made; there was no attempt to interfere with the 2020 election.  The President asks if Ukraine could investigate a variety of things that involve Ukraine and possibly affected the United States, including interference in the 2016 election and the possibility that the son of a former Vice President may have received special favors.

One would think that the Democrats, so enamored of never-ending investigations, would laud the President for seeking to investigate these issues.  But, actually the Democrats only care about never-ending investigations that might allow them to remove the President from office – to overturn the will of the people because they don’t agree with the people’s choice of whom they voted for.

Reality and facts and truthfulness do not matter to the Democrats.  Credible complaints are enough for them in their war of hatred against the President.  We saw it in the Kavanaugh hearings.  We see it now.  Even with the actual transcript of the phone call in his hand, Chairman Schiff in his opening statement in the hearing portrayed the phone call as including things that were not said.  Challenged, he and other Democrats now take the position that we should all know that even though the words are not there, we should know that they were meant – there is apparently a secret code involved that only the Democrats understand.

So, we have another show trial underway in which the Democrats will hear and read and see that which is not there.  Anyone who makes allegations that are aimed against the President or his administration or his supporters will be seen as not only credible, but also as truthful, whether or not there are actually any facts to support those allegations.  They don’t care – they continue to grasp at anything in the hopes of ridding themselves of a president they do not like while at the same time destroying our country.

The Democrats' attacks on our President hurt both his administration and all future administrations.  Essentially, they are attacks on the office of president itself and as such an attack on our country.  Take for example the fact that we have now been made aware of the content of at least three conversations between President Trump and a foreign leader beginning with his conversation with the Mexican president at the very start of his term.  This must certainly have a chilling effect on both current and foreign leaders’ willingness to speak openly with the president.  Countries’ leaders need to be able to speak openly and freely with one another for the good of the entire world; the Democrats care more about destroying President Trump than they care about the good of this country or the world.

I also find it interesting that the Democrats seem to launch their new attacks or create a new media circus nearly every time the President goes abroad or is in some way engaged with foreign leaders.  This certainly is an attempt to weaken his position with any foreign negotiations or other foreign policy matters.  Their goal is not concern for our country but an intent to weaken and then destroy the President that they hate.

So, not only would the Democrats subvert the will of the electorate, they would subvert and destroy the office of president itself if not the entire executive branch.  Think of this in conjunction with their attacks upon the judiciary and thinly veiled threats against the Supreme Court to impeach or in other ways change the Court’s makeup if the Justices render opinions that the Democrats find too conservative.

There is a hashtag #DemocratsHateAmerica.  That title “Democrats Hate America”  is a credible statement.  Sadly, the actions of the Democrats provide us with evidence that this credible statement may also be truthful.
