Demolition of American Democracy!

The definition of "democracy" is simple or at least the intent was simple--a form of government in which the supreme power is vested in the people and exercised directly by them or by their elected agents under a free electoral system (dictionary.com). 

Let me try to break this down--the supreme power is vested in the people and exercised directly by them or by their elected agents under a free electoral system.  Supreme power means the people have the last say over what happens in our government. Of course, that ability has been hampered by the Russian attack on our electoral process with their propagation of false/misleading/disinformation to a very gullible, frustrated group of Americans. Their frustration led them to believe that a person with multiple bankruptcies and billions in outstanding debt was a good businessman. Actually, it was more about their hatred of a strong, intelligent woman that sent them over the edge and they gambled on the pathological liar who claimed he'd look after them. The only person he's looked after is the rich and corporations who want to pollute the earth in pursuit of greed by destroying the environment with fracking and decimating the wildlife and tourism. That's how he's looking after folks.

But I don't want to get too far ahead of myself. When a foreign entity attacks the electoral process in favor of the incompetent, easily manipulated pathological liar and the "freely elected" (Russian interference) person in the White House proves, he's going to do whatever Putin says, that's not a free election. We have discovered since the 2016 election that various means of voter suppression took place in the swing states, from broken machines to fraudulent voter purging. It would appear that in every state where the person in charge of the election board was a Republican--there was proof that the "free election" did not take place. If the people don't have Supreme power (unhindered by interference) there can be no government by the people for the people.

In fact, since we know Traitor Don's biggest fear is in having to admit his presidency is not legitimate, the reason the Republicans won't rein him in is because their election is also suspect--the reason we have a majority of Republicans in both houses of Congress is due to the Russian attack on our electoral system.

Now, we know from the "Helsinki Summit" (or rather the Hell sinking summit), that Putin admitted he wanted trump to win and that he deliberately influenced the election to get the result he wanted. But in another trumpian move--the White House has "erased" from the video of the press conference the comments Putin made. I'm guessing because he thinks we're all stupid and will forget what we heard. And to make sure there is NO transparency in the White House between trump and other foreign (dictators) leaders is because they decided not to provide the public or Congress with any read-outs of the phone calls. Does that sound like a person with nothing to hide? Of course! He has a great deal to hide and he's so foolish that he doesn't realize all of his moves to obfuscate the truth, just gives Mueller more ammunition to use against him.

This defies all logic and precedents set regarding not only the protection of the resident in the WH, but in offering transparency to the public that elected them.

And now, Traitor Don wants to turn over Americans to be interrogated by Vladmir Putin simply because they openly criticize him. That's the move of a dictator--once again. He has constantly called the media, "Fake News" because they tell the truth and just yesterday, he told the audience at a VFM convention, "don't believe what you see or read. It's not what's happening." In actuality, what we see and hear from media with integrity is exactly what's happening and some (rogues in the WH) have confirmed everything. The only media outlets not telling the truth are Fox News, Breitbart, Sinclair Broadcasting and other right-wing radio shows. We cannot overlook all the conspiracy theorists like Alex Jones and a crazy pastor, Rick Wiles who claims

coup & decapitate Trump within hours

Rick Wiles LGBTQ Nation
Christian broadcaster and conspiracy theorist Rick Wiles is back with even more rightwing lunacy. This time, he’s claiming MSNBC anchor Rachel Maddow, an out lesbian, will lead a coup against President Donald Trump.
Even worse, it’s in a few hours and we’re gonna have to throw together an outfit at the last minute. What’s black and goes with decapitation?
“America, you’ve been homosexualized. You’ve been Jewdy-ized. I’m just telling it how it is,” Wiles told viewers. “She was spewing out, last night, calls for revolution. She was telling the left, ‘Take a deep breath, we’re at the moment, it’s coming, we’re almost there, we’re going to remove him from the White House.’ We’re about 72 hours — possibly 72 hours — from a coup.
“Be prepared that you’re going to turn on the television and see helicopters hovering over the roof of the White House with men clad in black rappelling down ropes, entering into the White House. Be prepared for a shoot out in the White House as Secret Service agents shoot commandos coming in to arrest President Trump.”
But Wiles wasn’t finished with his hysterical anti-semitism and homophobia.
“That is how close we are to a revolution. Be prepared for a mob — a leftist mob — to tear down the gates, the fence at the White House and to go into the White House and to drag him out with his family and decapitate them on the lawn of the White House,” he said.
And of course, his gullible base believes every stupid thing the ignorant oafs say. Trying to talk to trump supporters just to get them to think for themselves is a total waste of time. They are not interested in facts or logic and only spew trump talking points like parrots.

George Orwell warned all of humanity in his book, "1984" what would happen when, "the party tells you not to believe what your eyes see or your ears hear." We have entered into a phase of authoritarianism and trump supporters don't seem to care. They evidently like the idea of a dictator ruling over them. Of course, he's already doing that since he's manipulating their ability to think and act.

But let's not forget one important salient fact. When trump side by side to a known adversary to America, he took the side of the adversary over American Intelligence Agencies. That is treason and until the complicit GOP Congress finds their balls or develops a spine (not sure which is harder for them to do), we're on a downward spiral in seeing the demolition of American democracy.

Now, for all of you who might disagree with me--go ahead. But look for the evidence yourself of what I'm saying. Innocent people don't try to hide what they do. Innocent people don't keep screaming about their innocence. Innocent people don't blame others for their shortcomings and incompetence. Innocent people don't try to impede an investigation against them. Only guilty people do all of this--because they have something to hide and don't want to be publicly exposed for all their wrongdoing and that includes--this illegitimate election.

Those who refuse to think for themselves and rise up against the tyranny that faces this country are complicit in the fall of our democracy. There's no need to complain--if you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem.

By the way, nothing in this blog is new--I've said it all before and if you don't believe, check out some of my earlier blogs. This warning has been out there for a long time now. But all I got for my effort was admonitions from people trying to convince me I was wrong about trump. I've proven and time has proven, I was right. Trump is the biggest disaster to hit the American shores and he'll destroy everything America once stood for in his effort to be something he is not.

"Tell The Truth And Shame The Devil!"

Then you will know the truth, and the truth shall set you free. John 8:32 NIV
Why is my language not clear to you? Because you are unable to hear what I say. You belong to your father, the devil, and you want want to carry out our father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies. Yet, because I tell the truth, you do not believe me! Can any of you prove me guilty of sin? If I am telling the truth, why don't you believe me? Whoever belongs to God hears what God says. The reason you do not hear is that you do not belong to God. John 8:43-47 NIV

Although we know that Jesus was talking to the Jews who had a problem believing who He was, we also know that those words ring very true today. Liars are influenced by the devil, the truth is foreign to all pathological liars and until we are willing to speak truth and accept truth, we remain in bondage to doing the devil's bidding.

I think it's about time--everyone woke up--and started speaking the truth about daily news events and the threat hanging over us with Russia's asset in the White House. I have been saying this for over a year and some have chosen to stop following me and that is certainly their right. I will continue to speak the truth as I see it. donald trump is a Russian asset; he has been used to dismantle American democracy and we can see the effects on a daily basis with the attacks on the media, on people of color, and even on those elected officials in Congress. Whether there are those who want to admit they made a mistake by supporting trump or not is totally irrelevant. If American democracy is to be sustained, we must all speak truth to power and keep speaking it until it sinks in and when or if it doesn't, we must all be prepared to fight to save our Constitutional freedoms by voting blue in every election across the nation!

As Jesus told the Jews, the reason many won't hear my voice or the voice of others who consistently speak truth about trump is because they do not want to hear truth and they are following the dictates of the devil. It doesn't matter whether those who refuse to hear and accept truth call themselves Christians or not. If they refuse to hear and speak truth, it's because they are not "Bible Christians" but conservative Christians who are in essence--false Christians. I am a Bible Christian and I will speak truth and if people choose to hear it, great, if not--great. I will be held accountable for what I do--and they will be held accountable for what they do. I will speak truth and speak truth, shaming the devil. By the way, the title of this blog is reflective of what I've heard a number of preachers say, "tell the truth and shame the devil." It is appropriate at this time and place in our history. We must tell the truth--the world sees and recognizes the truth and they're judging the rest of us as to whether or not--we will. Russia has an asset in the WH and his name is donald trump.

For instance, the special counsel that trump keeps trying to impugn (along with a number of republican congressmen) is not conducting a witch hunt (and if they are--they're finding witches with all the indictments). The "witch hunt" theory is simply smoke and mirrors propaganda, designed to keep his base from hearing the truth. It's a tactic also used by other dictators--along with maligning the press--especially those who print and broadcast truth. The devil is afraid of truth, which is why he tries so hard to keep people from hearing the truth. For if people heard truth and spoke truth, the devil would be out of business and peace would be possible on earth--in all countries.

Another tactic being used to erode truth is the misleading information about the Democratic Party--created by the GOP to malign Democrats. There is propaganda being spread all over the Internet via blogs, ads, and videos--produced by conservative entities that are determined to suppress the vote--especially the vote of the Black Community. If anyone in the Black Community has succumbed to the GOP lies, it's time they woke up to truth--the truth is that Republicans don't want you to vote unless you side with them. And the reason they want you to side with them is so they can--call a Constitutional Convention, rewrite the Constitution, and take away the rights of all people of color and women. Don't believe me--do some research for yourself. This is all part of the plan to allow the United States of America to slide into tyranny. Look at the imbalance of power that exists and know that if Republicans remain in control of all branches of government, there will only be a dictatorship governing.

Look, this is not about abortion rights and religious freedom as those "conservative (false) Christians would have people to believe--this is about our democracy--about putting country before political party. If we don't, we all suffer the consequences and none of us will survive the outcome for long. We already see increased cost at gas pumps, transportation of food and goods, and in October--the increase in healthcare insurance will be more than many of us can afford--all because of party partisanship that cares not one whit about the people. The fact that elected officials have lined their own pockets and bank accounts is the fault of those who voted for them without paying attention to their open agenda--they did not hide their agenda, but they were counting on people to put political party before what's best for the country. And here we are!

However, just because we're here--facing the possibility of seeing the demise of American freedoms, we don't have to let it happen. The only way we can stop what's happening right now is get out and vote and vote Blue--No Matter Who! We have to vote Blue in every local, state--primary and general election to get America back on track to sustain our Democracy. If we fail to do that--this November 6, 2018--we may never get a chance to vote again. Again, don't believe me--do some research and determine the agenda that trump is pushing in order to give Putin the advantage over America. I will never stop fighting to keep our Democracy strong and to keep a dictator from running rough shod over all.

In Michigan--for our primary on 8/7/18--vote for Gretchen Whitmer for Governor and Dana Nessel for Attorney General and Ellen Lipton for CD09 and Kristina Lodovisi for state Senator.  In November--Vote Blue--again for Gretchen, Dana and all other Democrats on the ballot. For Supreme Court Judges--vote for Sam Bagenstos and Megan Cavanaugh to balance decision-making.  Don't allow GOP tactics to keep you under the thumb of a rising dictator in America.

Across this great nation on November 6, 2018 rise up and vote in numbers never thought of before and make your voices heard--We Do Not Want A Dictator ruling this country--so Vote Blue--No Matter Who--across the land.

What Caging Children Says!

In this political climate--forged by hatred and bigotry on one side (the trump regime), children are caged like animals--separated from their parents--all because they dared to seek asylum in America. I know there are many people who have varying thoughts about this situation, but that doesn't change the core of the problem. These families--who feared persecution, torture and all sorts of inhumane acts against them--risked their lives and their children's lives to get away from their countries--hopeful of finding safe haven in the United States.

Unfortunately, what they found was a hateful, bigoted regime--financed by tax payers who would rip their children from their arms, farm them out to detention centers and cage them--without the parents knowing where their children or how they're being treated. This is the act of a "rogue government" who has demonstrated on more than one occasion they have not respect for the rule of law. Because of their zero tolerance for other human beings seeking safety, we should treat them (Jeff Sessions, Kirsten Nielsen, and trump) the same way--like they are inferior human beings because they are.
The assenting by silence and inaction GOP Congress--does not deserve to maintain their seats in Congress and should be voted out--summarily this November 6, 2018 and for those seats that are up for re-election in the Senate--we need to change the balance of power before we all lose what fragile rights, now observed.

The GOP have failed their constitutional obligations--to keep a check on whoever is in the White House. Because of their inability to do their job--which includes enacting common sense gun reform and immigration policies, we find ourselves in a country which it is easier to buy a gun than it is to get healthcare or get Congress to do their job.

We have a choice in the upcoming elections and the choice should resonate loud and clear to those in the White House--we will not tolerate children being treated like animals! For any "Conservative Christian" to continue to support trump and his unAmerican policies, shame on you. You are not the Christians recognized in the bible. In fact, I doubt seriously if God would recognize any of you as being followers of Jesus Christ. How do I know? Your fear and propensity to accept and promote fearmongering rhetoric tells me so. "Perfect love (unconditional) casts aside fear." So if you're acting out of fear simply because a bigoted racist tells you to be afraid, you do not belong to Christ. If you believe trump's lies and promotes them, you are of your father, Satan--who is the father of lies. And just so you know--Jesus was a brown-skinned man--not white. Those are lies perpetuated throughout Christendom in nations who prefer to promote "white superiority" instead of love towards all human beings.

What you need to do is come out from behind the walls of "fearmongering in the guise of Conservative Christianity" and get acquainted with the real world. More crime is committed by those who were born in this country--Black and White--than any of the immigrants who came here. And while I'm on the subject--the only two groups of people in this country right now--that were never immigrants to America--are the Native Inhabitants and Slaves. Everyone else--chose to come here--as an opportunity to thrive and excel and now--some of you want to deny others the opportunity your ancestors had.

Make no mistake, those of us who are watching and have been paying attention--we knew--Make America Great Again--was all about trying to make America white again. We're not stupid. I said this from the very beginning of the 2016 presidential campaigns and many tried to tell me I was wrong. What was that? I can't hear you. Tell me again, I was wrong and I'll call you a liar to your face (at least your online presence). We have the most bigoted racist person sitting in the Oval Office--ever in the 20th Century and it's all due to the lie promoted by White Evangelicals and their congregations. GOD DID NOT CHOOSE TRUMP--YOUR BIGOTRY AND FEAR CHOSE TRUMP!

And please--don't bother to tell about me about your being pro-life because the evidence is in--GOP policies decimate the poor and vulnerable--those lives outside the womb. Those who proclaim they are pro-choice actually mean they are "pro-fetus" since they could care less about life once it puts in appearance. Christian Conservatives are not Christians, but religious people (modern day Pharisees) who are only interested in "controlling" others. That evidence is readily seen--efforts to disband Planned Parenthood (out of fear of white extinction), controlling women's health and reproductive choices, while at the same time--encouraging sexual predators as revealed in the party of trump. I know a number of Republicans who are not thrilled with the direction this country is taking and some of them are even advocating that everyone vote for Democrats--to save our democracy from becoming a fascist regime led by trump and his Putin cohorts.

Listen and learn, watch a real news channel (Fox is not licensed to produce news, but opinions) and do some research for yourself rather than sitting by complacently waiting to be fed the latest lie. If you support caging children and separating them from their parents, you are not a Bible Christian, but an inhuman perpetrator of lies. And God, not me--will hold you accountable for what you do or don't do--claiming to be a follower of Christ.
