The Left and Their Dream with the Shadow Government

 

This article is written completely from ideas, concepts, threats, promises, commentary and other political talk almost exclusively from, by and via links that liberal, Democrat, leftists and extremist anti-Trump people, many of whom have apparently lost all threads holding them to sanity on Facebook alone, as we are Twitter abbrev. challenged and our friends which we have on Google are largely Israeli and Zionist thus little mention of Trump except for puzzlement over the rioting and apparently never ending temper tantrums. Some of our Google friends have cut their ties with Facebook as they found it incomprehensible and themselves often targeted because they were not hyperventilating over Trump’s election. One of the running commentaries talks about people who have been placed over the last eight years into high positions in the Civil Service where they are capable of affecting policy enactment and enforcement thus being capable of enacting their own policies and blocking those of the administration. These people have been placed sufficiently high but below the level at which they might be able to be targeted and removed from office and continue to be completely covered by Civil Service protections making them presumably near impossible to fire. The people speaking about these people often make jokes about how President Trump is unable to simply call these people to his office and say, “You’re fired,” as he was often used to saying on his shows of the “Apprentice” series. That small bit of humor is about as funny as their presumed amusing commentary gets, as much of their humor is pointed and very insulting of people in the administration, especially Kellyanne Conway and Steve Bannon. What is amazing is that Kellyanne Conway and Steve Bannon appear to have taken the bullseye off of President Donald Trump’s backside and run away with the well-aimed slings and arrows of outrageous accusations taking the full brunt of the media’s attention. If this was planned by President Trump and his advisors, then it was a brilliant diversion as if worst comes to worst, Kellyanne Conway and Steve Bannon are far more expendable than would be President Trump.

There are still the media and Facebook calls for both a nullification of the election and having a redo as well as the impeachment of President Trump. There is apparent exhilaration over claims that the Supreme Court is going to review the evidence of Russian intervention and giving President Trump the election when in actuality Hillary Clinton would have otherwise won the election. There are links galore telling of Supreme Court imminent review and possible negation of the election with examples here from the Brookings Institution and a web site called the Palmer Report and a site simply calling itself World as well as a site which just screams how neutral it must be with the name Bipartisan Report plus the Law Newz site and finally our favorite uninterested and totally unbiased and fair source of only the finest of true news, Daily Kos. With such reputable sites and the occasional commentary talking of such a possibility, how could any reasoned individual not see that the Supreme Court must step in and right the wrongs from the election and put the true winner, or at least force a real election where the person who actually won receives the Electoral College votes they deserve and win the election. Remember, Hillary Clinton actually won the election because she got more votes; the Electoral College is a false setup which was invented so that the people could be cheated from voting for the President directly. Well, they did get that correct and that was the reason but it goes deeper than that simple description. It was designed so that Wyoming would be far more important than California because each person voting in Wyoming was equal to many thousands of people voting in California and that need be corrected according to every leftist we have heard from living in California. Let’s do the math and they have a point about the Wyoming voters having more weight in the electoral College compared to California and this is probably the most drastic comparison from the electoral college and thus educational. California has fifty-five Electors and a population of 39,250,017 meaning that each Elector represents approximately 713,637 while Wyoming has three Electors, the minimum possible, and a population of 585,501 leading to each Elector representing 195,167 meaning each Wyoming voter represents approximately three and two-thirds. But, what about Washington D.C. which is solidly Democrat voters and also had three Electors with a population of 681,170 leading to each Elector representing 227,057, roughly equal to Wyoming so apparently there is a balancing and California likely is approximately the same as Texas and then New York comes in a close third and gives the Democrats an advantage not taken into consideration when these rabid anti-Trump people seek reasons the Electoral College, and thus the election, was absolutely unfair to Hillary Clinton making it impossible for her to win despite her receiving the majority of the popular vote. Many people will seek any point which they feel negates Donald Trump winning the election fairly and then run it into the ground repeating the same complaints ad-nauseum. Sometimes it appears as if different people were each assigned their talking point and told to beat their own positional drum until told to stop, and nobody was ever assigned to wave the stop signal so they all continue drumming home their assigned point.

 

The hyperventilating by so many and the fact that there has been almost no letting up on the intensity, that is frightening. Many of these individuals speak about the existence of a shadow government set up within the actual government used to interrupt and confound the efforts of the Trump administration and work towards toppling the government. Their hope is by preventing the proper function of the government and exacerbating any situations which will cause instability and panic in the population, they can cause governmental collapse and the people demanding action to replace Trump and all of his administration and a return to proper governance with Hillary Clinton in the White House. They completely ignore the actual existing Presidential line of succession. This is dictated by the Constitution which lists after the President the order of succession goes as follows: Vice President Mike Pence, Speaker of the House of Representatives Paul Ryan, President pro tempore of the Senate Orrin Hatch, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, Secretary of the Treasury Steven Mnuchin, Secretary of Defense James Mattis and Attorney General Jeff Sessions. The possibility that any calamity could press the level of succession this deep would require such an event that the actual existence of the Capital would be questionable but the remainder of the Presidential succession continues as follows: Secretary of the Interior, Secretary of Agriculture, Secretary of Commerce, Secretary of Labor, Secretary of Health and Human Services, Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, Secretary of Transportation, Secretary of Energy, Secretary of Education, Secretary of Veterans Affairs, Secretary of Homeland Security. This list includes the entire history of succession law set by Congress including the original laws as defined by the Constitution plus the Presidential Succession Act 1792, Presidential Succession Act 1886, Presidential Succession Act 1947, Postmaster General being removed 1971 and finally the Secretary of Homeland Security being added 2006. Simply put, nowhere on this list as it now stands or likely to change in the near future does Hillary Clinton’s name pop up and it cannot unless Donald Trump appoints her to one of these positions, not anywhere near likely.

 

So what exactly are these Facebook enthusiasts who support making Hillary Clinton the President and replacing the current Republican controlled Congress and Supreme Court with the most left wing Democrats imaginable. Well, they foresee a situation where the governance has completely failed, their demonstrations have become a populous call to arms by a vast majority of the American people, the demonstrations often bursting into mayhem and the major cities burning, business being prevented from operating, the economy failing and as things spiral into worse and worse rioting, demonstrations and government collapsing in city after city and President Trump completely losing any control of the situation and the population demanding that something be done to return sanity and normalcy using whatever becomes required. They imagine the military including the National Guard and the Army and Marines refusing to take their orders from President Trump because they have become convinced that he is illegally holding office and demand that the rightful President, Hillary Clinton, be installed and sworn into office as President replacing Donald Trump before the enlisted soldiers and their officers will accept any orders to restore order. The demonstrators also demand the same result in order for their ending their massive demonstrations. All of these situations coming together force the end of President Trump’s time in office and the leftist dream is fulfilled with Hillary Clinton being sworn into office.

 

They have a Plan B, which would appear a good idea as Plan A above is preposterous. Plan B requires the Supreme Court, see examples above, to accept a challenge to the election presumably due to either the fact that Hillary actually won due to receiving the popular vote or because the Russians rigged the election for their candidate, Donald Trump. The more popular is the Russian interference in the elections both by presumably handing WikiLeaks the leaked and hacked e-mails from the Democrat National Committee and from Hillary Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta which presumably proved disastrous to Hillary Clinton costing her the election. WikiLeaks has insisted that everything they made public was hacked by their people and that they received nothing from the Russians. Backing this up the Russians also claim they provided nothing to WikiLeaks. There is the further claim that the public release of information literally stolen from hackings of both the Democrat National Committee and John Podesta computers proved to provide information which proved a disaster for the Clinton campaign and handed the election to Donald Trump and as hacking of computers is of questionable legality, well, not questionable as much as illegal and completely against the law, thus the effect of these e-mails being released must be disqualified and somehow the result of the election adjusted to disallow for any influence from these e-mail and other hacked information. How this is supposed to be figured has yet to be explained except that any means of altering the vote to remove the hacking influence must result in a victory for Hillary Clinton, period. The entire Facebook revolution, another augment from the demonstrations on college campuses and selected major cities, is centered on a single objective, placing Hillary Clinton into the Presidency no matter what is required up to and including overthrowing the government by force and installing Hillary Clinton into the White House.

 

These screaming Facebook leftists and their fellow travelers are chasing an improbable result which can only succeed if the American system of government is overthrown and a person not selected by an election be placed in the Presidency. This is the exact formula used throughout history by leftists and the result has always been labelled as fascist. The formula is civic unrest which grows until business and society are no longer capable of normal activity. This escalation continues until the normative people of the public demand that the insurrection be put down and the hue and cry of the violent demonstrations and rioting are arrested or otherwise have their activities terminated. This is often done through violent police or military actions where the majority of the people who have been solicited and used by the fascist elites to destroy life and the existing government are simply murdered as they are no longer required, their usefulness has ended and their threat to governing can no longer be tolerated as the fascists have gained what they desired, absolute power. This ending probably has not been explained to the people out rioting, even those who have been hired to organize the rioting which is obviously being orchestrated as the rioters wear a type of uniform of all black including masked faces. The highest levels of organizers are part of the elitist structure and have a position as leaders of the secret police which will exist to ferret out any opposition. A well-organized fascist system often runs their own underground revolution such that they will know who has decided to leave the farm, so to speak. These people will be recruited and those proving vulnerable to recruitment will be reeducated and left loving big brother. What is being proposed with the install Hillary campaign is nothing less than an attempt to overturn the American Constitutional Republic and replace it with a new leftist fascist governance where freedom will be a thing of the past and the Tytler Cycle of Power in Governance will have turned another click in its inevitable movement from bondage to freedom and back again. And that is the end of their effort and Facebook will almost immediately become censored worse than it is in Mainland China.

So Trump Took a Call from a Woman, Big Deal

 

President Elect Trump has been being roasted for taking a phone call from a woman, a Chinese woman, an important Chinese Woman, an Important Chinese woman who happens to be Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen. The Mainland Chinese (some still refer to them as Red China, imagine that) Dictator’s underlings Foreign Minister Wang Yi and another Foreign Ministry spokesperson Geng Shuang went on the record demanding that President elect Trump recommit to the One-China Policy. Wow, are they overly-sensitive or just really insecure and jumpy? He exchanged congratulations with another recently elected President of a nation which the United States forsook in exchange for their one-billion-three-hundred-eighty-one-million give-or-take a few million potential customers and inexpensive workers over the paltry twenty-three-and-a-half-million potential customers and more expensive workers. Red China (see above, we’re troglodytes and use old terms) need not worry, their place as the main supplier for WalMart is secure. Some people really get bent out of shape jealous if you talk to their rival suspecting you don’t love them anymore. Don’t worry Red China, or with their new capitalism is it now Pink China, America never really loved you in the first place, it just made economic sense to pretend America threw our friends in Taiwan overboard. Wait until America sends them more arms and you really go bat-crazy on us for selling arms to one of your claimed provinces. What, you don’t want your provinces armed or just this province? Get serious and maybe America will as well.

 

Let’s get honest here. If you asked the man on the street in any major city which nation the United States recognizes and has relations with and made them choose between Taiwan (and you explained that was also called Formosa and was often called free China) or Mainland China (and informed them it was also Communist China and previously called Red China) the total would overwhelmingly choose Taiwan. That is who the American people desire as their friend, until they would find out things in WalMart would have their prices rise, then they would pick Red China, oops, sorry, Mainland China. The Americans know who their real friends are and who assists North Korea with their nuclear program and thus assist Iran with their nuclear program. They are not the ignorant rubes you have been told they are; they just are mostly hard working and need to worry more about feeding their families, clothing their families and keeping a roof over the heads of their families and do not really have tons of time to keep up on foreign affairs. Anyway, if they know any history, then they know that should a war break out, then one really decides who they side with and who is required to put down the infinitely worst enemy which may or may not require siding with a lesser current enemy. When that war is over, we can go back to disliking whomever we choose and this applies to all nations. Israel would even side with Saudi Arabia and Egypt against Iran and there is nobody we can think of at the moment which would have us ally with Iran, they count as worst enemy. Not to worry, that was not exactly a secret.

 

Back to Mainland China and getting serious. The United States remade their bed in the Far East all the way back in 1979 and tossed Taiwan to the seven winds of fate and allied officially with Mainland China in order to actually recognize them in the Security Council of the United Nations and allow for formal trade relations and a billion other things; they are called potential customers and the makings of a very large military force if necessary, also called the Chinese people. Still, every decade or so the United States takes a risk and modernizes the Taiwanese military with a large weapons deal and Mainland China goes ballistic and whoever is the President grovels for a while promising that he will never allow such a deal again. That President keeps his word but that word does not apply to the following Presidents. We suspect that there will probably be one of these explosions should Donald Trump be reelected as such deals are most often executed during second terms so as to minimize the damage to reelection chances. It looks bad when your opponent can label you a treaty breaker and unreliable and all those nasty things and actually have proof in the form of Mainland China. Then again, Donald Trump has not exactly been a by the book kind of guy though many of his cabinet picks have been from the right wing conservative branch of the Republican Party, that might be a twig that far out on the right wing when you get to Retired Marine General James “Mad Dog” Mattis for your Secretary of Defense, a choice we heartily love and approve.

 

The flap over the phone call was very similar in the mainstream media as it was to the choice of General James “Mad Dog” Mattis for your Secretary of Defense. Retired Army Lieutenant General Michael Flynn as National Security Advisor will likely continue to ruffle the feathers of the snowflakes reporting for NPR and the self-proclaimed objective media. I mean two former military men, what is Trump planning for, a war, an invasion, against whom? Well, the far left would be our guess as it appears they are gearing up for the long war, may it last twenty years as that is what is required to restore from the damage done since the assuming of the Presidency by Lyndon Baines Johnson after the assassination of John F. Kennedy. Reagan checked the damage temporarily but with a Republican Congress, if the leadership can get their acts together, Trump can make real gains in restoring sanity and deregulating small businesses which get caught in the regulations battle the government claims to be using to check the “Big Guys.” The aims of these regulations almost always are skirted by the “Big Guys” and squarely smack the small businessman when he tries to progress and build his business. For far too long the government has actually been in the business of making sure the wealthy remain wealthy with no taxes or levies against wealth but with tons of taxes and other fees and regulations to prevent anybody else becoming wealthy and challenging the existing moneyed interests. Sure there are exceptions, but that is the problem, there are exceptions and it is not the normal flow for the little guy to make it big. We can hope Trump is different but that remains to be seen.

 

Uncle Donald Wants You

 

Reince Priebus is one choice which should be about as milquetoast and scrambled eggs as one can get. He will make the smallest ripples but does know how the Republican machine works, though many might claim the machine malfunctions more than running smoothly. Reince Priebus is one person who could quietly still get what Trump needs going and is far less controversial than say Newt Gingrich who would have been another good choice to get results but at what costs. Stephen Bannon is another choice which the media will blast as being bigoted and troublesome but he is no paleo-conservative and is more the middle of the road conservative with good monitoring for the mood of Congress and world affairs and should be an asset. The claims against Jeff Sessions and the regurgitating of his lynching by a Democrat Congress which also gave us the expression of somebody being Borked after the treatment which culminated on the rejection of Judge Robert Bork for a Supreme Court nomination where innuendo and snide commentary proved enough to slur the good name of a competent and righteous juror who would have been an asset and great Supreme Court Judge and would likely have been nominated to be Chief Justice instead of Roberts had he been on the court. His loss and the lynching of Jeff Sessions will be recorded as stains on the reputation of the members of that Congress who performed their positions in the Senate as more a lynch mob than an approval and validating body.

 

Rudy Giuliani, Mitt Romney, and David Patraeus have all been names floated for Secretary of State. David Patraeus should not be a viable choice despite his qualifications and proven work ethic but it is his ethics which failed as he shared classified information with a person not cleared to receive such privilege. That was just as wrong as Hillary Clinton’s transgressions even if to a much lesser degree and he served his time and lost his position and should remain that way at the very least at this time. Perhaps in a second term but not up front. As far as between Mitt Romney and Rudy Giuliani it comes down to what attitude does Donald Trump prefer to be the face of the United States? He has already made one choice in such a position with Nikki Haley as the United Nations Ambassador where her straight forward style will be refreshing and her professionalism a statement to the world that the United States takes reasoned and solid stances and represents exactly what they claim to be. Rudy Giuliani would be a similar, if not more vocal and sharply stated, style appointee and would make for a great compliment to Nikki Haley with both being out front kind of people and shy wallflowers. Mitt Romney, on the other hand, is a quiet, professional choice who would be a good negotiator though very unlikely to be brash or grating. His style is grace and competence will win the day as long as one remain steadfast and steady on the path and refuses quietly but still forcefully to stand their ground. The main problem with Mitt Romney is he screams Republican political tool and would offend many Trump supporters which is why he will be the media favorite.

 

Other choices, include Steven Mnuchin for Secretary of the Treasury who was chosen from the media film and Wall Street business world. Wilbur Ross for Commerce Secretary comes from a venture investment capitalist background where he rescued failing companies often making them profitable. Such work does not make one popular, especially if you are successful as often one is required to step on more than a few toes and restructure companies releasing sometimes most of a workforce. He will be interesting to monitor. Elaine Chao as Secretary of Transportation will make an excellent choice. Not only a woman but a minority woman with impeccable abilities and great loyalty to those she works with. She was Secretary of Labor under George W. Bush for eight years, making her the only cabinet member to serve his entire term. Mike Pompeo for Director of the CIA is an Army veteran who spent years as a businessman before entering politics, now in Congress, voted as a Tea Party candidate from Kansas, and sits on the House Intelligence Committee which gives him the necessary experience factor. Still to cover are Tom Price as Secretary of Health and Human Services and Betsy DeVos for Secretary of Education; both of which have the needed qualifications but are really lesser known Republican Party regulars and should prove efficient in calming any jitters from the Party elites. Will the elites of the Republican Party be mollified? Not likely, but they will have less than they expected to use as pry bars when speaking to the media, and that will be an asset in and of itself. In all too many ways, the detractors of Donald Trump and his performance as President are jumping the gun slightly as he has not taken office or even cleared the Elector College which meets to vote later this month. The actions of some Republican Party elites, many in the media and now Mainland (Red) China are all very similar in that they grab ahold of a single incident, a particular appointee or any other item even as small as a tweet and just sink their teeth in and, like a bulldog, refuse to release and will remain attached in attack mode even if it kills their credibility because they are serving the cause. What cause? Don’t ask us, ask them. They probably believe they are serving some purpose saving the party, nation, free world or even the planet, possibly the solar system; and this drives them right over the edge, we would say beyond the cusp, but whatever edge they are running off, it is not here.
