"Every storm runs out of rain." Maya Angelou

I saw this quote on FB.

It seemed appropriate.

James Comey was only a canary in a coal mine...

He was the test case.

He was in charge of the FBI and that is where the "plan" to dismantle and overthrow the government began.

Comey was naive as to what was expected of him. He was supposed to bow down to the new emperor. When he refused, he was fired. It was part of the "plan". Disable and dismantle those that are a threat to you.

His release of the Hillary "emails" was only a side event in the big show to come. No one recognized it at the time.

Get rid of the FBI and put "generals" in charge of everything important in government, so long as they would follow the orders of the CinC. And they all did, in the final analysis, including John Kelly and Jim Mattis. Michael Flynn was the first general to fall in line but he was quite willing to do the bidding of his boss.

Now, we ask, where is Christopher Wray? What did he commit to his "boss" when they were working together? How was he able to keep his position?

What is he doing today? Working silently in the background, just doing his job? Or is there something more sinister going on? Is he still alive?

Pity The Nation by Lawrence Ferlinghetti

“Pity The Nation”


Pity the nation whose people are sheep,
and whose shepherds mislead them.
Pity the nation whose leaders are liars, whose sages are silenced,
and whose bigots haunt the airwaves.
Pity the nation that raises not its voice,
except to praise conquerors and acclaim the bully as hero
and aims to rule the world with force and by torture.
Pity the nation that knows no other language but its own
and no other culture but its own.
Pity the nation whose breath is money
and sleeps the sleep of the too well fed.
Pity the nation — oh, pity the people who allow their rights to erode
and their freedoms to be washed away.
My country, tears of thee, sweet land of liberty.”

Whispers in Washington...

"Shh-hh.."

"If we don't fix this problem with fraud in the last election, Herr Leader is going to tell our voters to stay away from the polls and not vote in 2022 or 2024..."

"What are we going to do...?"

"We have to show him that we are loyal and we need him to help us win against the Democrats.."

"If he tells our voters not to show up, will they do what he says...?

"Of course! Don't be silly!"

"What can we do to make sure we keep him happy and our supporters go to the polls...?

"We can show him that we have his back and will defend him at all costs against the vicious attacks by the partisan Democrats..."

"We can make some speeches next week and vote to protect his good friend, Steve Bannon..."

(Very quietly) "Does that seem like extortion to you...?"

"Yeah...you just can't please that guy."

Do the American people deserve to know what happened on January 6th?

Is it OK to simply cover it up?

The Capitol, the symbol of our democracy, was attacked. It was not a tour. It was not a peaceful protest. It was an attack.

Do the people have a right to know who was responsible?

That seems to be the basic argument.

Some want to know the truth and some want to cover it up.

Should those that attacked our Capitol be held accountable?

Is it worth fighting for?
