What stands between us and the abyss? What are the Guardrails of our Democracy? Every day we are gaining more CLARITY on how fragile our system truly is.
…
Though the details may be disputed, the overall intentions remain the same, regardless of how it went down. All that stood between a tyrannical leader, hellbent on remaining in POWER, and our Constitutional Democracy… were these guys.
A couple of rank-and-file Officers from our Nation’s most elite Law Enforcement detail, the United States Secret Service. Had they chosen to follow the orders of our Commander-in-Chief that day, and actually drove the President to the Capitol… what do you think would have happened?
As the doors opened on that SUV and out stepped Donald J. Trump with his security detail… that crowd would have erupted in thunderous APPLAUSE. They would have carried him UP those steps and escorted him on to the floor of the House of Representatives.
And as the clouds parted and birds started to sing, the President would have stood before the WORLD and addressed Our Nation from the microphone of the Speaker of the House and said-
‘Well Mike… whatcha gonna do NOW?’
The House, in special session, would have voted to overturn the results of the 2020 election, after Vice President Mike Pence found several slates of electors to be in dispute. Joe Biden would have been the loser, and Donald J. Trump would have been sworn in for his second term.
It would have been the END of our Democratic Experiment. The end of the peaceful transition of power. It would have marked the beginning of the reign, of the FIRST KING of the United States of America… and the end of Our Constitution.
…
THIS TIME… it held. HONOR triumphed. For whatever reason, be it respect for our Rule of Law; be it respect for a DIRECT ORDER from their superiors… be it out of FEAR, with a strong instinct for self-preservation.
Whatever their reasoning… in the eyes of our Founders, those Secret Service agents are HEROES. Because of their actions, our Nation STILL STANDS.
NEXT TIME… we may not be so fortunate.
Next time, Tony Ornato won’t be in that car. Because next time, Donald J. Trump… or whomever holds The Office… will ensure it.
Every safeguard. Every norm. Every established rule. Every person of HONOR and commitment will be REMOVED… selectively screened out and asked to leave, long before that opportunity presents itself again.
…
…
If we do nothing… if we take NO ACTION… next time, he will be successful. Next time, the only hearings that will happen, will be those held to bring justice to those who’ve stood OPPOSED to the President.
And you can rest assured… that committee will refer criminal prosecutions to the Department of Justice.
And there will be convictions. On that… I have NO DOUBT.
That’s always been the biggest problem with embracing nuclear energy production… what do we do with all that WASTE? Thousands of tons of radioactive nuclear fuel sits cooling in spent fuel pools in every nuclear power facility across the globe. For thousands of years that fuel will be highly radioactive… where will it go? What will we do with it?
We can bury it. We can forget it. We can ignore it. But no matter what we decide to do with it, it will continue to cost us money… for centuries to come.
Thousands of tons of highly radioactive spent nuclear fuel… with nowhere to go. No one wants it… ‘not in MY backyard!’ No one has a permanent plan for it… so why not recycle some of it? Make some more useful fuel out of it and save some money in the process. No one seems to want it. I doubt anyone would mind if it just… disappeared.
It’s called ‘closing the loop’ on the nuclear fuel cycle. Instead of disposing of all that waste, some of it can be recycled and used again in a nuclear reactor. Not in the BOMBS, though. That requires the highly enriched material. The TOPSHELF supply… the GOOD STUFF.
And that GOOD STUFF is in short supply. Only a handful of locations on earth can produce highly enriched, weapons-grade nuclear material. Those nations who currently have a stockpile want to save all they can for use in their nuclear arsenals.
They wouldn’t want to go and waste the ‘good stuff’ on a single-use rocket engine… especially if they plan on making a lot of them.
When there’s short supply and high demand, someone has to find a new supply. Someone will find a way. If there’s money to be made, someone will make it… and TRILLIONS of dollars will motivate people to do, just about anything.
Yes, it may be ‘Rocket Science’… but it’s as easy to understand as the phrase ‘FOLLOW THE MONEY’.
They can see the writing on the WALL. They’re living in a dying petrostate. Oil is going the way of the dinosaur and they want a piece of the FUTURE. But, in essence… Nuclear Fission is energy of the PAST. Its time is UP.
We are currently working to unleash the Power of the SUN. And as it turns out… that energy is SAFER and CLEANER than anything we’ve ever seen before.
The Nuclear Age is now a relic of the PAST…
… and we will be dealing with the fallout of that era for many years into the future.
And what will they find when they get there? It’s already been widely reported that the Russian soldiers destroyed radiological monitoring stations around the site. They even dug trenches in the highly radioactive exclusion zone and then tracked that radioactive dirt back inside the facility, contaminating parts of the building that were already clean… what else did they do while they were there?
They have no respect for International Laws. They have no respect for the Ukrainians whose territory they’ve invaded. They don’t adhere to standards or follow established protocols to ensure safety…
We must brace ourselves and be prepared to find the worst-case scenario inside that building. The inspectors from the IAEA might get there… and find nothing at all.
Tax fraud is now legal in the Great State of New York.
And why wouldn’t it be? You heard him on the campaign trail… ‘They do it all the time’… ‘That’s just how it works in the World of Real Estate’… and in New York City, Real Estate RULES THE WORLD.
How much property value do these two gentlemen alone hold in NYC? How many more individuals would potential prosecutions rattle if they were to be pursued? Well… now we’re talking some serious CASH.
Tighter rules. Enforcement of current laws… that might piss-off some very wealthy people. Some of whom might decide to take their POLITICAL CONTRIBUTIONS somewhere else. They might have to find another PARTY. One that more closely aligns with their BOTTOM LINE.
That sounds pretty catastrophic for the incumbent party… definitely something they should keep in mind.
…
In this light, it’s not about the VOTERS. Hell… it’s not even about the LAW. It’s about MONEY and the pursuit thereof. For the Real Estate developers, for the Political Campaigns, and for the Political Party Machines.
Trickledown Economics… all boats are LIFTED with the rising tide.
Wait a second… you wouldn’t wanna go and rock the boat now, would ya’? It certainly would be a SHAME if they had to take their MONEY somewhere else.
Not to disparage or attack their character, it’s just a STONE COLD FACT. Laid bare when it’s boiled down to its essence. They can’t WIN if the donors don’t DONATE… and they won’t DONATE if they’re not happy with the ROI.
It pains me to say it… but Donald Trump was right. The system is rigged.
In favor of people like him… and against everyone else.
The influence of money in our election system, turns our legislative processes into an unnecessary balancing act… balancing between doing what’s right and doing what’s necessary to get re-elected.
Making microscopic legislative gains for The People… session after session, decade after decade. All while those who FUND their election campaigns increase their market share… session after session, decade after decade.
Who do our elected officials work FOR… who SHOULD they be working for?
…
It underlies every decision they make. It colors their perception of what’s RIGHT and what’s WRONG. It limits the number of TOOLS in their legislative toolbox… preemptively. BEFORE they’ve even considered a single piece of legislation.
Legislators legislate based on MONEY and the pursuit thereof. Therefore, legislation favors those with money over those without.
And I can hear it now. Yes, this is a ‘free-market economy’, but I question the validity of the assumption that someone who has accumulated vast amounts of WEALTH, would naturally act in the best interest of everyone ELSE.
There’s simply no financial benefit for them to do so.
It clears the mind when we view our government in this light. Why do they NOT act when it’s CLEAR that they should… even when that action is supported by a bipartisan MAJORITY of this Nation?
The answer to the problem would cost their donors MORE MONEY, risking their own political future.
Again, this is not a character assassination… it’s just simply the WAY IT IS.
… and I believe it must change.
…
Because it’s at the HEART of the problem… which problem? ALL OF THEM. Immigration reform. Voting Rights. The Right to CHOOSE. The education of our children. Our National Debt. Our National Security…
It’s at the heart of the problems that we can SEE… and the problems we cannot.
Would the MAJORITY of this nation have supported such a plan? Would this plan embody our opinions on the subject of PEACEFUL nuclear proliferation? Would this endeavor help to secure our Nation’s Strategic Nuclear Defense posture?
What about the nuclear waste these facilities would create? What about the long-term maintenance and inspection of those facilities? What about geopolitical instability… civil unrest… and what about regime change?
We set BILLIONS of dollars on fire studying the potential cost vs. benefit of nuclear energy at HOME and ABROAD. If the United States Government hasn’t already done an in-depth study on the potential long-term consequences of widespread adoption of Nuclear Energy in the Middle East… then they’d better set another BILLION on fire and hop to it.
Because apparently, that idea has been pursued in the recent PAST, and I have no doubt… someone will attempt to pursue it again in the FUTURE. Who do we allow to write our policies on Nuclear Energy… who shouldn’t be allowed to do so.
I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s much easier to REMOVE someone from elected office who chooses to IGNORE the Will of The People, than it is to elect someone who will actually ACT.
Why do they not act? When the evidence is CLEAR that their actions would SAVE LIVES… they hesitate. Instead of doing what is RIGHT they remain SILENT. For what? What’s more precious to them than saving someone’s life?
We all know what the problem is.
…
…
It’s a hard thing to swallow… it’s just a numbers game. Even if the odds are infinitesimally small. One-in-a-million, one-in-a-billion… people are dying due to the vaccine. It’s a stone cold fact. To deny it, is to deny science.
And that’s where this whole debacle went off the rails. Our elected officials chose to DENY SCIENCE and played politics with a deadly virus. I have no confidence that our elected officials are telling us the TRUTH right now… because BOTH SIDES have been manipulating facts and spinning scientific data for over TWO YEARS.
And now we can SEE just how accurate Donald Trump’s predictions were…
“If we could hold that down… so we have between 100 and 200,000 – we altogether have done a very good job.”
—Donald J. Trump
…
Nailed it, sir.
IF ONLY they knew in advance, if only they had some sort of PLAN…
…
…
IF the odds are one-in-a-million, in this country alone that’s 350 people… worldwide that’s 8,000 deaths. Even if we are generous and it’s more like one-in-a-billion, we’re still condemning EIGHT people to die.
That’s a hard call for anyone to make… because it could be anyone. It could be my MOTHER, or my CHILD. It could even be ME. And that decision is made with intent. With knowledge… with consent. A decision was made, knowing with certainty what the outcome would be.
Because of our knowledge and our collective effort to SAVE LIVES… we are at the LOWER end of those initial internal projections. Unequivocally, our SACRIFICE has saved over one million American Lives.
And it’s not that hard to see how it could happen. When we lose focus on our goals. When doing what’s RIGHT becomes too cumbersome… when the PRICE of expediency is more attractive than the burden of responsibility.
At best we could say, that our elected officials are just out of touch with the lives of Everyday Americans. At worst… they act knowing the results of their inaction. And hey, I’m an optimist. I’ll gladly take a half-empty glass… if that’s all that’s left. But I refuse to be BLIND.
What person acting in GOOD FAITH, would name a bill after a recovering addict out of spite… especially when that recovering addict is the SON of the sitting President of the United States?
Strip it all BARE. Lay it out there for the whole WORLD to see. That old phrase ‘You better get RIGHT with Jesus’ comes to mind… and that seems about right. They’ve now shown themselves to be the hucksters and carpetbaggers that they truly ARE.
They have NO FAITH in the Will of the MAJORITY… so they’ll just take whatever they CAN for themselves. While the rest of us desperately rally behind their PARTY… their RACKET… their COVER… praying that maybe someday, SANITY might rule the day in the United States Senate.
But we all know what the problem is… and an ADDICT will not change their ways until they admit they have a problem.
Our elected officials, making FUN of addicts… laughing at the plight of their VOTERS. Their CONSTITUENTS. All while they fail to remember… damn near every single one of those addicts owes their addiction to the LAX OVERSIGHT allowed by the very legislative body in which they serve.
They fail to tell you… all of this could have been avoided in the first place.
Can they not remember? Did they simply forget? The mind does start to fade after a certain age… maybe we should just give them the benefit of the DOUBT.
Or maybe we all know what the problem is.
…
…
Senator Manchin and his family’s got it all figured out… why can’t YOURS?
…
Is there nothing left that we hold SACRED? Is there nothing that can bridge the gap… no place where we can find COMMON GROUND?
If I may be so BOLD to suggest… there is NO political division in this country. There is no existential threat. There is still ONE overarching ideology that encompasses every political party, that every one of us can agree upon.
Our Legislators legislate based on MONEY and the pursuit thereof.
To FUND their Political Organizations.
To FUND their Political Parties.
To FUND their re-election campaigns…
All at the expense of THE PEOPLE they were elected to represent.
Any system that would allow the influence of MONEY to decide who is worthy of legislating for the rest of us, will inevitably favor those WITH money over those WITHOUT.
Be it the Second Amendment, a woman’s right to CHOOSE, or the teaching of this Nation’s long and prosperous HISTORY… we all know what the problem is.
These images are impression and engagement statistics for my reply to the Tweet seen below. (LINK) On November 9, 2019, the number of people who had seen this Tweet was LOWERED from what it had been just three days earlier, on November 6, 2019.
Listed BELOW are the monthly statistics for my social media campaign on Twitter, as of March 2020. I launched my Twitter account at the end of February 2018.
Note the number of “New Followers” I gain each month. Also note when those numbers start to deviate from being statistically random.
(Note: The location of “New Followers” changes starting in February 2019.)
Something changed late in the summer of 2019. No matter what, I cannot seem to get my follower count to stay above 150 followers. Every month I have a handful of “bots” who will follow me. I know they’re bots because it’s always a young woman with a bunch of numbers in her name, and they send me a direct message saying, “Hello” or “Hi there”, or “Can we connect”.
At the end of the month, the accounts are REMOVED from Twitter in their monthly security sweeps. All of the month’s progress is wiped out, leaving me hanging at just under 150 followers.
…
As soon as it became CLEAR that I should report potential interference in my campaign, I took immediate action. I contacted my Representative in Congress.
On September 20, 2019, I sent the following email to my Representative, Sharice Davids:
“I am concerned the President is blocking my comments on his Tweets in violation of the 2nd Circuit ruling in July 2019. I believe he is labeling my campaign hashtag as a phrase he doesn’t want to see.
I believe the term he uses is ‘shadow banning’.
Again, I don’t have proof of who is doing this. I only have my own internal data analysis, and it suggests a firm LIMIT to the size of audience I can reach.”
Unfortunately without any PROOF of my suspicions, there was nothing she could do. Once I had PROOF that a candidate for President of the United States was being CENSORED on Twitter, I contacted the Speaker of the House.
I felt confident that my claim would be heard. As she repeatedly said… whistleblowers are “her wheelhouse”. But I am no fool. I was hopeful political affiliation would not determine who’s case is worthy of consideration when it comes to investigating crimes committed by the President.
BUT…
Should party affiliation matter in a moment like this? Is removing Donald Trump from Office this fall NOT the top political priority for the Speaker? Is Joe Biden the candidate who can do that?
Would she remain SILENT if I had physical evidence that Joe Biden’s campaign was the target of this censorship?
Is it now ACCEPTABLE in the United States of America for an incumbent to SILENCE their political opposition?
… where does THAT line of questioning lead.
…
What candidate does Donald Trump fear the most. We’ve seen what lengths he will go to, to dig up DIRT on opponents… and not even THAT, just to arouse the suspicion of, a possibility of, some kind of INVESTIGATION into…
He was IMPEACHED for it… and he would do it again. He said so on live TV.
The candidate Donald Trump fears the most is the one with NO DIRT to be found, the candidate he has no LEVERAGE over. If there is no dirt, his only option is to label that candidate’s campaign messaging as OFFENSIVE.
It offends him. So it is “shadow banned”, unable to be seen by the PUBLIC. It’s MOVED from sight, hidden behind a virtual wall that says “Click HERE for more replies“… hidden away because he’s offended? Or is it because he has NO REPLY…
The President of the United States has NOTHING TO SAY in response to that phrase.
No defense. No denial. No discussion.
(ASIDE: If you want to hear a really interesting story… ask me about being BLOCKED on Facebook.)
… tick tock tick tock…
Do you remember in the Spring of 2018, when it was reported that Donald Trump was privately discussing Constitutional Amendments with his team, and they were telling him that it was a bad idea…? I do.
That was the point in my campaign, where I knew without a doubt, that my ideas were in his circle of influence. If not him, then someone on his team. I realized that I had become an advocate. I had INFLUENCE on the decision making process of the President of the United States… and humbly, I have not forgotten it.
The best part is, every position I’ve staked out that aligns with my views, and demonstrates decisions I would make if I were in Office, they’re all POLAR OPPOSITE of everything he represents. But I do not stake these positions out simply to oppose Donald Trump… I’m just being ME.
These are the things I hold sacred… it’s all written right here.
… biased? Yes, it is an autobiography. And it is a Political Campaign, an inescapable fact. If anyone doubts my motives, I welcome your inquiries, and I would gladly answer them DIRECTLY.
…
I’ve sought to propose a SOLUTION to the problems highlighted by the current Administration… he is not the FIRST. His is only the most recent example of systemic issues that have existed since this nation was founded. Allowed ascent through an electoral system that declares VICTORIOUS a candidate, who LOST the vote of the people by 3 MILLION.
And Twenty years ago the vote was even closer.
And Nixon may have had justification to call for recounts in 1960 against JFK.
And on, and on, and on…
… is anyone else tired of chasing our own tail?
What IF our Presidential Primaries worked more like the NCAA Championship Tournaments… and they only lasted SEVEN MONTHS.
What IF EVERY STATE had an equal say in who should be our next President.
What IF ONE CITIZEN truly did equal ONE VOTE.
Which candidate does he truly fear facing this fall…
That should be for THE PEOPLE to decide.
…
I’ve shared this information with my elected representative and received NO RESPONSE. I’ve shared this information with the Speaker of the House… again, NO RESPONSE.
If a candidate believes their campaign is the target of foreign interference, they should call the FBI… what about domestic interference? In this specific instance… should I address this to the Attorney General of the United States? Would he ensure this case is expedited and brought to light BEFORE the election?
So… admittedly, I have a political stake in this. Should I surrender two years of campaign data to the investigative arm of my political opponent… in the middle of my campaign? My campaign has always been about the people. Everything I have done, I’ve done for OUR benefit.
I would want to know, before I made my decision this November, if the incumbent OR his campaign were actively SILENCING one of their opponents.
End The Electoral College NOW!!
