Someone asked me what do I think about it now coming out that Barack Obama, in the closing days of his presidency, conspired with several others to sabotage the incoming administration of Donald Trump. There is a lot of evidence now that this indeed happened and if it did, then a lot of people including Obama deserve to go to jail.
It won't happen.
I'm old enough to recognize a rigged game when I see it. And that is what the Trump Administration is facing. Nobody is going to be arrested. There may be indictments but they won't go anywhere. And even if they did, there is going to never be a "guilty" verdict from a jury from the District of Columbia. Washington is a company town, practically everyone there is on the payroll of that company. The corruption has long taken too much root.
There may be some small-time members of the conspiracy who will be indicted, who will be expected to "fall on their swords", but the bigger names in the scheme? They will go on as if nothing happened. They have nothing to fear. They've been playing the game for so long that they know they're invincible. And they know that we know it.
Then take into account that it's only the "alternative" media - something that is fast becoming THE establishment press, traditional journalism has fallen so hard - that is really reporting this. The legacy media isn't covering it. To them it's as if there is no story. Which in my mind demonstrates why they have lost all credibility about being trusted at all. More people than ever are tuning into the podcasts and the blogs for their sources of information, but those aren't the ones that "the firm" is influenced by. "The firm" still operates based on what CNN and the New York Times chooses to publicize. Trump's win in November was a defeat for "the firm" but it can't be the only one, not if there is to be sustained progress.
If Obama headed up an engineered plot against Trump during his first four years of being president, then Obama and those who conspired with him ought to go to prison. This is far worse than Watergate ever was. Come to think of it, a LOT of things are worse than Watergate. But for some reason we're still expected to tolerate those. In saner times the citizens would be stomping toward Washington D.C. and demanding heads on pikes, if not decorating the lampposts Mussolini-style. Figuratively, of course. I don't want to see ANYBODY get hurt. Not even the ones who have destroyed much of this country. That can't be said for a lot of other people though who have been drained of compunction.
I hate to be a "downer" about this. I really do. But I've watched politics for awhile and I know something about the corruption of unchecked human nature. And I really don't think anything is going to come of this.
But I would like to be proven wrong.
