Hypocrisy and Cowards

It was the author Robin Sacred fire who said in an essay (here) “The world is full of cowards…”. While I have researched but could not determine if Sacred fire had based his essay on a quote made by the 17th century German poet, scientist and statesman Johann Wolfgang von Goethe who stated, “The coward only threatens when he feels safe”. Together, those two quotes fit like a hand in a glove.

Most of our political overlords and intelligentsia policy makers are simply cowards. They get away with it by being hypocrites and using optical narratives to achieve this goal. You know the saying, “a picture is worth a thousand words”.  While not exactly an icon of conservative thought, Glenn Greenwald did an outstanding job of the hypocrisy employed as the try to tear down a pillar of our Democratic Republic in an excellent piece. (here) These devious cowards feel safe because they have taken a play out of the Machiavelli play book The Prince where he says, “Everyone can see what you appear to be, whereas few have direct experience of what you really are….”.

Trespassing or Insurrection

We are seeing this now playing out in front of our eyes with the 1-6 Commission. I mean really, if you replace the vagina hats and pussy power signs with MAGA hats and Stop the Steal signs you have almost the same thing as what you had during the Trump Inauguration.  Almost is the keyword. While the optical narrative is different between because of the Capital Building, there was also a fatality in which an unarmed 5’1” woman was fatally shot by a Capital Police order. (here) This damn sure doesn’t fit the narrative. Oh, by the way, the FBI found no weapons on the trespassers. Which begs me to ask the question, was this really an armed insurrection?

You remember the old ethnic jokes, what do you call a ……? I always enjoyed those jokes and had a laugh. It didn’t matter that some made fun of my ethnicity, that never defined who I was. So, let’s play. What do you call an event which happens throughout the country in which police stations are set on fire, 26 people are killed and communities suffer 2 billon dollars in vandalism damage? Don’t know? I tis called a peaceful protest!

Compare the three events. Which one is an insurrection? According to the legal-dictionary.the freedictionary.com , Insurrection. “A rising or rebellion of citizens against their government, usually manifested by acts of violence. Under federal law, it is a crime to incite, assist, or engage in such conduct against the United States”.

Yet, our political overlords choose to do nothing. As a friend of mine would say “Crickets”.

Coup or Simply Disinformation 

All the above are primarily smokes screens. As we have seen in the Bulldozer, Rose, Orange, Yellow and Violet revolutions, violence is not needed to advert the will of the people. In can be done in the halls of government.

For us in the U.S. the non-violent attempt of the overthrow of an elected president began with a dossier which was commissioned by the opposition candidate during the election.

The campaign decided to commission former British Secret Intelligence Service operative Christopher Steele. Steele with the help of others crafted a work of fiction so good it would have probably made a couple of other former S.I.S retirees Ian Fleming and David Cornwell, aka John leCarre green with jealousy. It had everything, intrigue, corruption, and kinky sex. Ari Goldfinger would have been proud. All that was missing was an Aston Martin with machine gun head lights and an ejection seat.

The Steele Dossier or “The Insurance Policy” against Trump as referred to by mid-level FBI bureaucrats and lovers Lisa Page and Peter Strzok was so good it was the basis of the New York Times and Washington Post reporters winning a Pulitzer Prize just like Ian Fleming. The problem is that Flemings was for fiction, and this was for accuracy in reporting. This gives a whole new meaning to “fake news”.

The fact that this could happen should send shivers down your spine. Here we have unelected bureaucrats and members of Congress using this report to undermine a president who won the election. If you think this is just about President Trump, you are wrong. Think about the violations of the rights of the people who had to defend themselves from this lie. The screw always turns, and Karma is a bitch.

Through it all, except for a temporary disbarment and the indictment of a low-level operative no one has had to face justice for the bloodless coup attempt this was. Further indicating the corruption in our government and once again putting lipstick on a pig. I guess in some halls there was a hero. His name was Comey, James Comey! 

The Origin of Words 

In the 1859 book Origin of Species, Darwin introduced the scientific theory that populations evolve over the course of a generation.  This was 81 years after Francis Grose published A Classical Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue and 31 years after Noah Webster published The American Dictionary of the English Language, considered the meaning of words would evolve just like living organisms? Probably not. However, they have.  

As I noted last time, my favorite word Fuck has totally morphed into a different meaning. It has been brought to my attention that a couple of names have been hijacked as well. Most notable is the name Karen which is now said to mean the C word. (Here)

This also leads me to wonder in the future, what is the word insurrectionist is going to mean.
