The Melchizedek Chronicles - Impeachment - Last Gasp of the Progressive/Liberal Establishment and Mainstream Media Mouthpieces?

As the media feeding frenzy rages on and the Dump Trumpsters are foaming at the mouth there are several upcoming events with the potential to far overshadow the political circus in our nation's capitol.  In truth, these yet to happen events have the potential to suck the life out of the political establishment that now is on life-support systems.

Collapse of New Old World Order

Of course, the backdrop for what might happen should be warning enough to the Trump haters who dominate the main street news and clog the arteries of the Capitol in Washington, DC.  You see, as the impeachment vortex swirls around Washington, DC and New York City, the last remnants of the old New World Order advocates, the general public has already rejected the zealots.

Confidence in Congress and the news media in America has crashed to the lowest levels ever seen and the public believes well over half of all news media reports are fake, phony or fabricated.  At the same time every media vestige of the elite left is suffering crashing ratings or sales as thousands of people a month continue to cut the chord of media blabber.

Even the slavery platforms of social media who attempted to hijack the news forums from the mouthpieces of mainstream media to push the radical liberal agenda have blown their credibility as well, through their relentless efforts to violate every last bit of privacy in America.  The public views them as the greedy conduit for fake news.

The liberal house of cards is crashing down as the advocates for polarization, hatred and division are losing their voices to reason.  The underlying foundation for impeachment, besides self-preservation of the elitists and establishment, is that the general public is too stupid to fact check the fact checkers.

Only the People can protect America from harm.

Well, they were wrong.  The American public long ago recognized the dangers to our cherished Republic and the challenges to our Constitution and the attempts to restrict our freedom, rights and equality.

Maybe most politicians and certainly the media could be bought off with billions of dollars of campaign contributions and advertising, but not the public.  We were warned about the dangers by Eisenhower and Lincoln and others, and the people listened.

For the past century there has been a decline in political party influence, which the Dumpsters seem to have missed.  Once upon a time there were only two parties of consequence, the Democrats and Republicans.  In 2016, for the first time in our history, there were more non-party members voting than party.

In fact, here is what is in store for 2020 as the Independents continue to surge ahead of the old establishment parties, policies and politics.

The Democratic Debate Debacle

Nowhere is the interest of the public in public affairs more obvious than in the dismal crowds being drawn to the national debates of the herd of Democrat candidates.  Here is what happened over the past few months. 

Debate Watchers (Nielsen ratings)

First Debate                                  15 million

Fourth Debate                                 8.3 million     -46%  

Percent of Voters                                                   16%

Here is the liberal media admission that something is not right when the louder the noise for impeachment, the more people turn off the political camp gatherings called debates and find something better to do.

This is what Variety had to say about the 46% drop in viewers for the debate.

Last night’s Democratic debate, which saw frontrunner Elizabeth Warren come under attack from all sides, drew around 8.3 million total viewers on CNN.

That viewership figure is down 46% on the first NBC debate which was watched by 15.3 million viewers, and also on the two previous CNN debates which garnered 10.7 million (down 22%) and 9 million (down 8%) respectively. None of the Democratic debates so far in this cycle have come near to the 24 million viewership figure posted by Donald Trump’s first debate on Fox News in August of 2015. According to CNN, 9.2 million viewers live streamed the debate in total on both the network’s and NY Times’ digital platforms.

--------------------------------------------

Two notes and there is nothing more to say about this flop of a reality show.  First, the Democratic Demolition Derby called debates has pushed the entire party off the cliff of reality.  They have stampeded so far to the radical left you might as well have Lenin, Trotsky and Stalin on the ballot.  Not even the real Democrats left standing can stomach the socialist agenda being dutifully articulated by the puppets on stage.

Trump Appoints Supreme Court Justice

What the Wizards of the Left are most afraid of is losing control of the Supreme Court to the moderate and conservative philosophies.  Well they will before the 2020 election and before they can impeach and remove Trump from office because Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg will retire before the election.

Justice Ginsberg has been the most powerful female voice in the history of our court and her actions, decisions and dissents have left a legacy for the future.  When she retires, Trump will appoint a conservative justice, his third appointment to the Supreme Court, and Senator McConnell will get it approved by the Senate.

For the first time there will be a clear conservative majority on our nation's highest court and the liberals will lose their ability to protect social programs, generate more liberal reforms, and to restrict conservative voices.  The result will setback the liberal left for decades to come and while they will not admit it, what scares the Trump haters more than Trump is the possibility of a conservative Supreme Court long after Trump has finished as president.

With her ongoing battles with cancer and her long and distinguished service to the nation, we should thank her for her dedication and service and let her prepare for her last battle on Earth.  She has earned the respect of all whether you agree with her or not, and she has brought great style, grace and humor to the court.

Rather than keep her on the bench until Trump can be impeached or wins re-election, she deserves time for herself, her family and preparing for the hereafter where she will be most welcome I am quite sure.

New DOJ Investigations to confirm Conspiracy Theories?

There are two Justice Department investigations still underway that can change the course of impeachment history by undermining the relentless false charges and claims of the Democrats and their Media Mouthpieces.

The Inspector General of the Justice Department is concluding an investigation of possible wrongdoing by government officials during the Trump election campaign.  This was originally supposed to be completed by June but the IG extended it for five months in order to pursue all the leads uncovered.

A second investigation by the Attorney General in which he appointed a career DOJ US Attorney as lead investigator is looking into the origins of the Trump campaign and the possible efforts through the Clinton campaign, Clinton Foundation, and Obama national security and intelligence people to spy on and undermine the Trump campaign.

This investigation has already led the DOJ to Australia, Italy, the UK, the Ukraine and Russia and to the infamous Steele dossier funded by the Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee, to the tune of millions of dollars.

If half of the conspiracies are proven there will be enough material for a long running TV series but the potential exposures could well threaten the very existence of the current Democratic party as well as a host of high officials in the Obama administration.  This should also be released in the next few weeks.

                 

Americans Abandon Voting - Barely 50% even participate - What democracy? What choices?

What the news media and political parties are not telling us about our $20 billion election next year?

Our media and politicians tend to portray the United States of America as the ultimate democracy in the world and have consistently presented us as the defenders of freedom and democracy.

Well I must be confused because nowhere is the word "democracy" mentioned in the Declaration of Independence or the U.S. Constitution. How could that be?  Come to think of it, no where are the words capitalism or political party mentioned either.

Our government is supposed to be a democracy!

What exactly is the definition of a democracy?

The Cambridge Dictionary - Definition of "democracy"

The belief in freedom and equality between people, or a system of government based on this belief, in which power is held by elected representatives or directly by the people themselves.

A country in which power is held by elected representatives.

The Cambridge Dictionary - Definition of "republic"

A country that is governed by elected representatives and an elected leader.

So in a pure democracy power is held by the people directly, while a republic elects representatives to look out for the public interest.  Well let us look at that in light of the current state of American participation in the election of our representatives and leader.

Nothing can be more dramatic than the realization that not only do we not have a democracy we do not even have a functioning republic in this the citadel of world democracy.  We are nearing the point for perhaps the first time in our history, when more Americans refused to participate in the voting process by refusing to register to vote, a consequence of freedom or common sense I suspect.  Also note the foreboding 2018 party preference when the two parties continued to erode while the Independents continue to rise.

Our political system has failed to support our constitutional requirements for a republic.  Wake up America!  Better yet, wake up news media and politicians who are ignorant of history and fail to understand the meaning of a republic.  As a last, gasp effort to steer them in the right direction, here is an explanation of the American system of government as envisioned by our founding fathers back before the concentration of power in our news media and political parties.

Is the United States a democracy?  Here is an explanation by ThisNation.com

The Pledge of Allegiance includes the phrase: "and to the republic for which it stands." Is the United States of America a republic? I always thought it was a democracy? What's the difference between the two?

The United States is, indeed, a republic, not a democracy. Accurately defined, a democracy is a form of government in which the people decide policy matters directly--through town hall meetings or by voting on ballot initiatives and referendums. A republic, on the other hand, is a system in which the people choose representatives who, in turn, make policy decisions on their behalf. 

The Framers of the Constitution were altogether fearful of pure democracy. Everything they read and studied taught them that pure democracies "have ever been spectacles of turbulence and contention; have ever been found incompatible with personal security or the rights of property; and have in general been as short in their lives as they have been violent in their deaths" (Federalist No. 10).

By popular usage, however, the word "democracy" come to mean a form of government in which the government derives its power from the people and is accountable to them for the use of that power. In this sense the United States might accurately be called a democracy. However, there are examples of "pure democracy" at work in the United States today that would probably trouble the Framers of the Constitution if they were still alive to see them. Many states allow for policy questions to be decided directly by the people by voting on ballot initiatives or referendums.

(Initiatives originate with, or are initiated by, the people while referendums originate with, or are referred to the people by, a state's legislative body.) That the Constitution does not provide for national ballot initiatives or referendums is indicative of the Framers' opposition to such mechanisms. They were not confident that the people had the time, wisdom or level-headedness to make complex decisions, such as those that are often presented on ballots on election day.

Writing of the merits of a republican or representative form of government, James Madison observed that one of the most important differences between a democracy and a republic is "the delegation of the government [in a republic] to a small number of citizens elected by the rest."

The primary effect of such a scheme, Madison continued, was to:

. . . refine and enlarge the public views by passing them through the medium of a chosen body of citizens whose wisdom may best discern the true interest of their country and whose patriotism and love of justice will be least likely to sacrifice it to temporary or partial considerations. Under such a regulation it may well happen that the public voice, pronounced by the representatives of the people, will be more consonant to the public good than if pronounced by the people themselves, convened for the same purpose (Federalist No. 10).

Later, Madison elaborated on the importance of "refining and enlarging the public views" through a scheme of representation:

There are particular moments in public affairs when the people, stimulated by some irregular passion, or some illicit advantage, or misled by the artful misrepresentations of interested men, may call for measures which they themselves will afterwards be most ready to lament and condemn. In these critical moments, how salutary will be the interference of some temperate and respectable body of citizens, in order to check the misguided career and to suspend the blow meditated by the people against themselves, until reason, justice and truth can regain their authority over the public mind (Federalist No. 63).

In the strictest sense of the word, the system of government established by the Constitution was never intended to be a "democracy." This is evident not only in the wording of the Pledge of Allegiance but in the Constitution itself which declares that "The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government" (Article IV, Section 4).  Moreover, the scheme of representation and the various mechanisms for selecting representatives established by the Constitution were clearly intended to produce a republic, not a democracy.

To the extent that the United States of America has moved away from its republican roots and become more "democratic," it has strayed from the intentions of the Constitution's authors. Whether or not the trend toward more direct democracy would be smiled upon by the Framers depends on the answer to another question. Are the American people today sufficiently better informed and otherwise equipped to be wise and prudent democratic citizens than were American citizens in the late 1700s? By all accounts, the answer to this second question is an emphatic "no."

The Politics of Hypocrisy in the American Election - What happened to the Gatekeepers of Truth?

The Politics of Hypocrisy in the American Election

Obamaville - April 23 - The Clinton Legacy - Public Service or Public Con Job - and who is being conned?

With Bill and Hillary Clinton continuing to soar in popularity in the minds of some Democrats, although not in the eyes of liberal and progressive Democratic institutions like The New York Times, Newsweek, and The Washington Post, the stunning article today in The New York Times raises more questions.

The newspaper disclosure about the manipulation of hundreds of millions of foreign dollars in the Clinton Foundation while she was Secretary of State probably explains better than any other explanation why Hillary erased tens of thousands of emails from her personal server covering that period.

Of course, Clinton apologists say it was just the Clintons being the Clinton's and they are just targets of a Right Wing conspiracy.  However, no one would label the Times or Post right wing radicals.

Bill Clinton is almost certainly the most popular person in American politics. A new NBC-Wall Street Journal poll showed that 56 percent of people have a positive view of the former president while just 26 percent hold a negative one.  It makes him more popular than his wife; 44 percent of Americans have a positive view of Hillary Clinton while 36 percent have a negative one.

Most Clinton fans point to the lead Hillary holds in the choice to be Democrat nominee for president, a number that wavers around 60%.  Running against Joe Biden who has not said he is in the race, nor campaigned, he sits at about 10% of the Democrat votes, Clinton has already lost 40% of the Democrats with no opposition.

People may be tired of the Clinton love of walking the tightrope when it comes to federal laws and regulations.  Bill Clinton spent over $7 million on legal fees to avoid impeachment and settlements for lawsuits against him by women.

Of course, he smoked pot but did not inhale and had oral sex with an intern but did not actually have sex, so one must adjust to the Clinton definitions.

We are yet to open the book on the changes Clinton made in the twilight of his presidency, which may have directly led to the collapse of our economy.

In addition, there is Goldman Sachs and their relationship with both Clintons in bailing out his legal expenses.  They also arranged for $500,000 speaker fees, and channeled tens of millions of foreign, and somewhat illegal dollars, into the Clinton Foundation of which she was a director, even while Secretary of State.

Did I mention their relationship to former Goldman Sachs executive Rahm Emanuel, Clinton's chief fundraiser, and Obama's Chief of Staff?

You get the idea, if Hillary runs unopposed as it now looks she may spend far more money defending herself against the acts of her husband, their family foundation, the $200 plus million dollars in their bank accounts, and their very strange relationship with the richest people throughout the world, some from countries whose money is banned.

Just what transpired to lift the Clinton couple from being broke according to Hillary in 2000 when Bill left office millions of dollars of debt from legal fees and lawsuit settlements, to being worth up to $200 million along with the assets of the Clinton Foundation 14 years later.

Most disappointing if I were a Democrat is how they continually sucker in the progressive wing of the party with promises of helping the little people, as they rocket up the ladder of former politicians who got rich manipulating the power of government.

Not only are they the classic politicians who have run Washington for far too long, but they show  no signs of stopping their efforts to convert public service to personal gain.

Ironically, Obama seemed to have been wary of the wily Clinton clan.  The White House said when he made Hillary Secretary of State she signed an agreement to publicly report all Clinton Foundation sources of money, and she was subject to preserving a permanent email record of all her dealings as Secretary.  Both promises seem to have been broken.

This might raise the question did the Clinton's tell Obama they would support him in the elections if she became secretary of State?  It could be the appointment was a bribe or a payoff but not being a right wing Republican I have no grounds to pursue such an abuse of power.

Hillary's biggest fear should be not having an opponent and having to spend the next 15 months before the general election explaining the Clinton actions over the past two decades.
