Gen. Michael Flynn Hires Sydney Powell As His Lawyer

Lawyer hires usually aren’t big news, and Gen. Michael Flynn hiring Sydney Powell is not getting a lot of attention. But it should.

Powell, a former federal prosecutor herself, is a foremost critic of prosecutorial misconduct amongst the Feds.  And among her past targets have been Robert Mueller and his no. 2 man Andrew Weissmann.  She has literally written the book on Weissmann, Licensed to Lie: Exposing Corruption in the Department of Justice.  Further, she is withering and no-nonsense in going over the facts of Fed prosecutorial misconduct and shady ethics.  She is not hyperbolic, emotional, or manipulative; she relies on presenting the facts in a manner very hard to dispute.

I am very encouraged Flynn has hired her. His case reeks of dirty play from Mueller, Weissmann and company.  If the bad cops don’t back off and soon, she will expose them.

The Michael Flynn case just got a lot more interesting.

The Appointment of John Durham is Encouraging

I did not have much hope that any justice would be done against the attempted Deep State coup against Donald Trump. (And if you think I am wearing a tin foil hat by saying there was a Deep State attempted coup, get your fat head out of the sand.)

But Attorney General Barr’s appointment of John Durham to investigate the investigation encourages me.  Durham has a well known record of blowing the cover on FBI corruption and is respected by people in both parties – although expect DemocRATS to scurry and scream if he gets too close to the truth and issues indictments.

What is not as well known is that St. Robert Mueller – that holy oh-so special prosecutor that MUST NOT be criticized – St. Robert was knee deep in the corruption of an infamous Boston FBI case Durham broke.  The FBI knowingly let four innocent men take the rap for murder to cover for their informant.  And Mueller worked to keep them in prison.

By the way, earlier this week I again had a situation in which information inconvenient to the Washington establishment was difficult to come by.  I could not find much on Mueller’s unethical Boston conduct until I came across this on Zero Hedge. Again, funny how the search engines can be unhelpful in such situations.

Anyway, S. Noble’s piece is eye opening, both on how St. Robert is not so saintly and on how Durham is not afraid to expose Deep State corruption:

…It was Mueller, first as an assistant US attorney then as the acting U.S. attorney in Boston, who wrote letters to the parole and pardons board throughout the 1980s opposing clemency for the four men framed by FBI lies. Of course, Mueller was also in that position while Whitey Bulger was helping the FBI cart off his criminal competitors even as he buried bodies in shallow graves along the Neponset…”

Durham got two surviving men released (The other two died in prison.), and he got an FBI crook put away for ten years. Sadly, Mueller continued his career as a corrupt prosecutor unhindered and went on to further corrupt the FBI as Director.

Do read the article for yourself.  And do keep an eye on John Durham.  He just might get two or more Deep State traitors fitted in orange after all.  It’s a shame one of them will probably not be Mueller.  

Post-Mueller Report Weekend Thoughts

I hesitate to post anything about this past weekend’s release of the Mueller Report.  So much has been said by others already.  But I’ve commented on the attempted coup against Trump in a number of venues, so I feel like I should say something.

First and most important, yes, there has been – and, as William Jacobson points out, will continue to be – an attempted coup against Trump and against constitutional democracy.  An alterego called it such very early, well before Trump was inaugurated, and events since have borne out that evaluation well.  Further the coup came from the depths of the FBI and the CIA in the Obama Administration.  As tinfoil hattish as that may all sound, there is hardly any denying it now.

For the sake of our future as a country, there has to be a price to pay for this.  I agree with Kimberly Strassel and others that the role of the FBI, the DOJ, and the CIA among others must be investigated and am glad to see Sen. Lindsey Graham seems rather eager to do just that. But I am not holding my breath that justice will be done in Congress or the courts.  There is too much a two-tier justice system in place.  That there has not been one indictment for the corruption of the Obama Administration speaks volumes about that.

So justice will have to carried out at the ballot boxes in 2020 in both the primaries and general elections. Democrats and their RINO faux conservative enablers must be punished.  I fear for our future as a country if they are not.  The political punishment has to be so severe that in the future, the likes of Obama, Hillary, Comey, Brennan, Clapper, Schiff etc. will think twice about attempting a coup against the people, their votes, and their constitutional democracy.  I suspect the current attempted coup will end only then.

“Never Again” or Here We Go Again?

First, my apologies that this post will be somewhat stream of consciousness.  But something has been on my mind, and it’s certainly important enough that I should not be silent about it.  Holocaust Remembrance Day yesterday has goaded me to say something even if my thoughts are not that well organized yet.

Yesterday is a reminder of how deadly totalitarianism is.  The totalitarian mindset cares not a wit for the freedom and lives of political opponents and of others who are hated for other reasons, such as class, religion, and ethnicity.  Totalitarianism is why the 20^th Century was such a deadly one.  And do not forgot that the Communist brand of totalitarianism killed tens of millions more than Hitler’s did.  Of course, thankfully, Hitler’s time was shorter.

Another lesson of the 20^th Century is that often it is hard to see just how dangerous times are when you are in the middle of them.  As a child, I wondered why all the Jews did not flee what was to come.  Well, although they knew times were not good, most did not know the horrors to come although there was much warning.  Us humans are prone to denial of coming horrors until it is too late.

I understand that denial more now.  I see the totalitarian mindset on the march today in the conduct of the Left and of the Deep State, of their contempt for freedom of speech, for freedom of religion, and of democracy in general. I also see it in the vilification of others under the guise of “White Privilege” and now and soon “Christian Privilege.” I do not know what scares me more, the little totalitarians taking over college campuses or the conduct of Mueller and Company in attempting to overturn a presidential election.  Their method of practically inventing the crimes of political opponents reminds me of the old Soviet Union and of today’s Russian under Putin.  Instead of investigating a crime and finding the man behind it, they investigate the man and search for or invent a supposed crime to bring him down.  The raid of Trump’s lawyer’s offices has made that modus operandi that much more clear.

And yet part of me thinks this too will pass.  But I don’t know whether that part is realistic or in denial.

Under totalitarianism, the people are not allowed to choose their leaders (except for the correct “The People,” of course).  And it seems electing Trump was not permissible and must be overturned.  I’ve said it before and will say it again, the Left and others with a totalitarian mindset only respect democracy when they win.  And very early on, my alter ego smelled an attempted coup against Trump, and that attempted coup continues.

I know I may seem overwrought.  I know that totalitarianism in the U. S. may seem a conspiratorial fever dream.  But how many saw the coming ravages of Nazism and Communism before it was too late?  For that matter, how many ten or twenty years ago foresaw how mad the college campuses have become?  And with the attacks on free speech and on Constitutional and democratic values in general, I see warning signs too similar to warning signs of totalitarianism in the past.  More and more, I feel like I am living in a pre-totalitarian time and place.  I certainly understand more what so many Europeans experienced in the 20^th Century.

Yes, I told you this would be somewhat stream of consciousness.  But because it is so important that “Never again” triumphs over “Here we go again,” I may try to do my part and address the revival of totalitarian and of the totalitarian mindset from time to time as unpleasant as the subject may be.  For once, let us keep history from repeating itself.
