The Message from the SWAMP: Voters are not in charge, the administrative state is

I’ve thought from the beginning that there was massive election fraud in the 2020 election. I watch these kinds of things intently and was watching the news coverage as the steal took place late in the night when people went to bed witnessing a sizable Trump lead, where even Vegas was calling it for Trump. Then in the morning, Biden suddenly had these huge spikes of voter infusions. I watch enough of these things to notice that something was very wrong with the performance of the vote counters, to say it lightly. At that early time, it wasn’t the evidence of voter fraud that we had to go on, but it was the continued behavior of the SWAMP itself, after the Durham Report, the two impeachments over nothing, the spying on the campaign, the actions of the FBI, the complicity of the media, we knew on election night November 3rd that they weren’t all just going to go away and suddenly give up. As I say all the time, judge people based on what they do, not what they say, and you’ll know the truth even in the most voracious lier. So in that regard, the election fraud was blatant, even if, at that moment, we weren’t sure to what extent. Now, after two years of trickling evidence, which grows by the day, there is no question that Trump had the election stolen from him, but worse than that, it was the real people’s pick that was stolen, and that is a problem far greater than the mess we find ourselves in now. We are seeing a conflict play out that goes back to before the Revolutionary War itself, the clash between the idea of America and the conformity of Europe, to the world suddenly being smashed together through technology in uncomfortable ways. The election problems of 2020 were about a lot more than just getting Trump out of the White House.

Essentially, by the morning of November 4th, the collection of bureaucrats, thieves, insurgents, and international bankers were saying with a smile on their faces, “you, the people, are not in charge. We, the administrative state, are, and there is nothing you can do about it.”  They stole the election to essentially protect the same premise that the War of 1812 was all about, can people govern themselves, or were they always to be at the mercy of the aristocratic administrative state types? The answer was evident in their actions. They would not live in a society where people ruled themselves because it invalidated everything they stood for as people. They were refusing to let people govern themselves, and if they had to be obvious about it, instead of hiding in the background allowing the poor fools to believe they were running things, then so be it. They dared us to challenge them and now are panicked by the results. Even going into the details of what happened over Covid, we saw a world thrown together that was run mainly by socialists and communists who were jealous of America in so many ways that they were going to destroy it any way they could. They no longer cared if people knew what they were up to or not. They had lost patience with the whole debate, and that’s why with smiles on their faces on November 4th, they felt utterly validated to declare that Trump had lost and people were just going to have to get over it. Their message to all of us was to put our masks on and shut up. And if you question the election in public, we’ll destroy your life, as they attempted to do with Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell, and Mike Lindell.

I have always said that people, especially in America, will follow the rules until they no longer work. Even now, obviously, the government has been caught in not just stealing the 2020 election for its own reasons of self-preservation, but they murdered people behind the Covid social conditions, and they knew what they were doing as they were doing it, which will be the subject of much future material for me. The evidence in hindsight is quite clear to see the purposes for social distancing, masking, and mandatory vaccinations. The types of people who love the administrative state and their role in it were literally willing to kill to preserve it. So election fraud to them was a gift. At least people weren’t massively slaughtered in the process of a coup in the White House, and people should be happy about it. That’s why it was so terrifying to them what happened when voters with some impassioned instincts about not certifying a fake election stormed the capitol on January 6th in frustration by what they had witnessed. Several hundred thousand people had come to hear Trump speak at a Stop the Steal Rally at the White House, and that was terrifying to the administrative state, which had organized so many mass riots and caused so much damage during all of 2020. Even after a year of Covid, people were willing to come out into the cold to support President Trump or even the idea of him, a people’s pick. At the end of the day, a portion broke into the Capitol Building to let the politicians know there that they weren’t in charge; the people were. 

Many people have offered that the efforts of the January 6th Committee and the optics that have been shown on television are purely put on to hide the bad inflation numbers of Democrats controlling all three houses of our government. Or the many other missteps that are destroying the world, especially the liberal commitment to eradicating the economy of America to save the world from their religion of fanatics regarding climate change. Their actions on gas prices, food shortages, and other deliberate terrorist acts are far more radical than the terrorists who blew up the World Trade Center by running planes into them or the actions at WACO, Ruby Ridge, or Oklahoma City. The January 6th Committee is about more than anything anybody has so far put their mind around. It is about aspects of many things, but at its heart is the hatred of people who think they can rule themselves and not have their “betters” ruling over them for their own good because the answer to that question is one that the human race has never had to answer, except to leave places and to resettle in areas with less bureaucrats in them over the last 10,000 years. The human race collided for the first time because the planet was too small to any longer ignore the question. As Trump likes to call them, the Unselect Committee has one purpose and one purpose only, to ensure that the administrative state is in charge and that voters were not.

To become in charge, you had to be in the “in” group like they were. You couldn’t just rule yourself. They were happy to play along all this time and let us think we were in charge, so long as they pulled the strings. But after two elections of Trump, they had lost patience to play the game any longer, and they expected us to kneel to their power. And when we didn’t, then insisted that we were still in charge, like many did that day on January 6th, well, that was a bridge too far for them, and that’s where we find ourselves presently. They aren’t willing to give up power or what they think is power. And they will do anything to keep it, even kill if necessary. In that way, we know who we are dealing with, and there is no way that this all ends in peace.   The question is, can it end without lives lost. That will depend on the authenticity of the next election. People are willing to give elections a chance. But they will not be ruled by incompetent losers from the administrative state, and that for those who are, is the scariest thing in the world—not having power and knowing that the people of the world refuse to be ruled over by the administrative class.

Comey is Shit out of Luck: The FBI allowed for the destruction of 19,000 text messages laying out the biggest case of corruption in American history

Did you see that dear reader, James Comey after his testimony in front of congress is revealing the really radical bias that was always there under his command of the FBI. The pressure is getting to the former Director as all his tentacles of influence have yet failed to remove President Trump from office and now that we know that over 19,000 text messages were deleted under the careful watch of Bob Mueller, Comey’s friend and special counsel investigator, that real trouble is on the horizon. The Republicans that Comey is pleading to for help are the ones who are dying off and retiring, because they can’t hack the game. The new Republicans are the ones that were always there, but did not have a voice. Market circumstances in the world of politics have changed that ratio however, and now they are showing up to pass judgment, and Comey clearly doesn’t like it. His blame of these new ways of looking at things is misplaced on Trump and his supporters. Comey forgets that one didn’t make the other, its only that the protective blankets for which he had operated have been pulled away leaving him exposed, and like a child having those covers stripped away in the middle of the night in a dark, cold room, it’s a terrifying proposal.

You have to consider what Comey was really expressing when he spoke to reporters after the hearings on December 17th 2018, he wanted a step back into the good ol’ days where Republicans were lap dogs to radically disguised Democrats operating as conservatives and setting the agenda of thought. And those Republicans didn’t ever do anything to upset the apple cart even though there were many good reasons for doing so. Such an approach allowed Jim Comey and his friends in the intelligence community to believe that they were philosopher kings of political discourse and operated immune from performance or scrutiny so that they could define what was good in the world and protect that good even if it meant breaking the law on occasion—or perhaps often. Of course, when you are the law enforcement’s top cops, they were functioning under the assumption that anything they did was lawful, because they knew better than anybody else.

When I did a CNN segment on the truthfulness of James Comey a few years ago I knew then there was something very fishy about the guy. I wanted to believe him, like most of America did. He looked the part of a top cop and he seemed polite and considerate, the way you’d expect someone given great powers to behave. But it seemed like a ruse based on little things that he said that didn’t quite make sense and what evolved over the subsequent months was a guy who had been a public servant, and a kind of beta man to his wife and daughters within his family to a sudden celebrity allowed to come out from under a rock and get a taste of the lime light, and he liked it. So the Hillary Case gave him a place on the front pages of history with presidential candidates and the highest echelons of politics and he let the appeal of it all suck him in.

He tampered with the evidence probably to make his wife happy, who was a Hillary Clinton supporter, and it probably made him a big man within his family for a while. He likely also enjoyed the ass kissing people from both sides awarded him with in the days leading up to the election. He had allowed his agents reporting directly to him to become radicalized into overturning the results of the election and they had to cover it up. But now they’ve been caught and he would desperately like to erase his part in it all. His first mistake was when he allowed the Attorney General Loretta Lynch to take a secret meeting with Bill Clinton and turn it into a deal to erase the Hillary Clinton email investigation as if it never happened. So under pressure he came out and spelled the case out so that he could maintain his reputation as the honest Boy Scout within the ranks of the FBI, but also tell the world there was nothing to see. As he said, no reasonable prosecutor would seek a case against Hillary because she was covered by the Obama White House and nobody would want their record tarnished with an impossible case. So with that Comey hoped everything would just ride off into the sunset and the FBI and himself would live happily ever after.

But Trump won the election………………….

Now the FBI had to play clean up because their fingerprints were all over the email corruption as they had allowed for the destruction of evidence and a behavioral practice of picking winners and losers in the election. If Trump really meant what he said to Hillary during the debates about locking her up, and by the way the Trump supporters had behaved at political rallies, there was a real danger to the FBI in getting caught. So Comey directed his agents to use the FISA courts to spy on the Trump transition team so that they could gather some kind of dirt to bust the incoming administration on anything they could discover so that Trump himself would never be able to conduct a proper investigation into what the FBI had done. Using the Russian dossier paid for by the DNC Comey sought to use it to extort Trump into a compliant relationship with the FBI. And just in case the plan went south Comey leaked his confrontations with President Trump to the media so that a special investigation against the Trump administration could occur in case Comey was fired for his activism, which he was in May of 2017.

By now Trump was supposed to be crushed and his administration in shambles, but it hasn’t turned out that way. The midterms did not go strongly for Democrats. Sure they filled some seats being vacated by Rino Republicans who were largely Never Trumpers, but they didn’t make any real ground as hoped, and things look very strong for Trump in 2020. There aren’t any Democrats to run against him and his approval ratings are great in spite of the constant negative press. People just aren’t listening, so the old tricks haven’t work leaving Comey wondering what’s next. He has literally tried to do everything to keep investigations into his investigators on their heels and wrapped in chaos. And now we know the Mueller team actually destroyed more evidence, so Comey’s plans have come unraveled rather spectacularly. His activism is now unleashed, and raw and real trouble is on the horizon for him, even though the Washington D.C. culture is more than willing to run cover for him as long as they can. Because after all, if Comey goes down, most of Washington D.C. will as well as they are all guilty of government activism on some level or another. And that leaves James Comey, shit out of luck.

You can see it on his face too. He knows it, he’s not stupid. He’s just corrupt, corrupted in many ways. He is and was the well-intentioned radical who thought government ran the people and that the FBI ran the government. He lost his place in history and his grip on reality. Because now he knows the hard way that his assumptions about things were completely wrong, and that old Boy Scout innocence that he has used all these years just doesn’t work anymore, because we know the truth about him. And he has nowhere left to hide.

SPYGATE: Everything you need to know about this disturbing reality

It was interesting to watch the Fox News interviews of Trey Gowdy and Judge Napolitano speaking on Spygate—whether there was a physical person spying on the Trump campaign which would be a big deal. I respect both of those legal minds, but it was obvious that something else was going on after Rudy Giuliani turned up the heat on the premise that the FBI under the Obama White House had put a spy into the Trump campaign in the spring of 2016. Neither Gowdy or Napolitano were willing to go that far and were obviously attempting to back off the flaming claims. The FBI is after all in a lot of trouble all on their own, and the heads of all our intelligence agencies are under serious suspicion as we learn more about what went on from their behalf to keep Trump out of the White House even though the election process favored him. The institutionalists seem to realize the weight of this consideration and they are trying to preserve what’s left, and as much as I hate to say it Gowdy and Napolitano in this case are institutionalists, meaning they will put the institutions of justice ahead of thoughtful rebellion against them. A nefarious reason was clearly present by the Obama administration to spy on Trump leading to this Spygate controversy which is one of the most dangerous things to ever strike our republic within America.

Judge Napolitano wants to see the proof the such a nefarious person infiltrated the Trump campaign, but obviously so much evidence has been destroyed by the FBI to favor Hillary Clinton’s eventual election, that proof may be too elusive at this point to conjure up—which is what happens when we have criminals running our intelligence agencies. At this point I’m sure that both Gowdy and Napolitano are looking to repair the image of the FBI for the sake of the people still working there who weren’t a part of this Spygate mess. But the intent is what we should be more than concerned about, because if it happened in 2015, then it is bound to happen again, and we can’t let that happen.

Let’s go back to the spring of 2016, shall we, it was just becoming obvious that Donald Trump was going to beat Marco Rubio and John Kasich for the Republican nomination which was shocking to the establishment. The Obama/Clinton forces had been preparing for either Kasich, Rubio or Cruz not even considering that the businessman and television reality star Trump would succeed in breaking through the election process and into the official establishment. The moment it was realized that Trump would in fact be the nominee the false story of a contested convention was put to the press to give the establishment hope that Trump would not make it to Republican Convention in Cleveland later that July. It was also around this time that Trump fired Corey Lewandowsky and hired Paul Manafort to be the campaign manager. The reasoning at the time was that Lewandowsky was taking a big hit in the press over shoving a reporter and that the campaign needed someone more polished now that the attention was turning toward the convention and a run for the presidency in the fall. Things were getting serious and it was time to change-up the campaign’s professionalism in the conventional sense of things.

Everyone knew that Manafort had connections to Ukrainian businesses because it was on his resume for years, the media hailed the move as a very positive sign that Trump was taking the whole presidential thing serious in hiring an establishment figure in Manafort. Obviously in hindsight there were figures in the campaign and within the media pushing Trump where they wanted him to go by creating the delegate hunt stories, and Manafort was specifically brought on to be the delegate hunter specialist, to make sure there were enough votes on the floor to give Trump the nomination and keep John Kasich from trying to launch a rebellion from the floor in July.

It should be remembered that John Kasich refused to attend the Republican Convention even though it was being held in his state for which he was the governor. Somewhere somebody gave John Kasich the false hope that if he held the line that he might be able to knock Trump out of the picture even though the primary votes leading up to the convention were not even close to anybody but Trump. The seeds for a Russia story were being planted by many establishment types as a last-minute conspiracy to provide insurance for Hillary Clinton in the fall if the antics of the contested convention failed. Lucky for Trump he played the game of convention in hiring Manafort to get through the convention period, because he acquired his delegates and secured the Republican nomination. But what nobody counted on was that Trump would fire Manafort in August and hire Kellyanne Conway and Steve Bannon to run the presidential campaign into November, and that proved to screw up all the plans of all the parties trying to sabotage the Trump campaign with a last-minute revelation that Manafort and the Russians were trying to steal the election from Hillary Clinton.

These parties got the idea from Trump himself in the spring of 2016 when it was obvious that he was going to win the nomination and he held a press conference where he famously joked that if the Russians had Hillary Clinton’s 30,000 deleted emails please let him know. With Trump forcing the world to look at the illegal antics of the Hillary Clinton campaign, the institutionalists needed to turn the tables on him somehow. So they wanted to build a story of Russian collusion into the Trump campaign to divert attention from their chosen candidate in Hillary Clinton and Manafort was always supposed to be the straw man because Trump needed an establishment campaign manager to get those much-needed delegates that the media kept talking about, and to go from a crazy campaign of saying anything anyway he wanted to something more conventional. This is where these spies in the Trump campaign were working full-time, they were helping to shape the media narrative and they were whispering in all the right ears to make the moves within the campaign that would feed the media narrative. With Trump being inexperienced with politics at this level, they figured they’d get away with it. They never expected him to fire Manafort in August. The establishment didn’t panic because they figured that sex scandals would torpedo the campaign just before the election, so they didn’t start panicking until literally that night of the election in November.

As far as evidence, it’s there, but its covered up with lots of other things and to see it we have to be willing to look under the carpet of the Obama White House and admit that Loretta Lynch and Bill Clinton, a former president himself, had cut a deal to keep Hillary out of trouble with the FBI. Comey had to do right by the law and navigate the minefield to let his field agents know that they had investigated Hillary Clinton, but that she was going to be their new boss when she won the election, so they started pandering to her early. Comey did his press conferences to not hurt Hillary but to keep his field agents satisfied so that he could blackmail Clinton once she came into office with all the dirt he really had on her, which he helped destroy to get her elected. She’d keep him on as the director in exchange for him not leaking what was destroyed and everyone would live happily ever after. Only Trump won which blew everything up.

The evidence that Trey Gowdy and Judge Napolitano are seeking to acknowledge a Spygate controversy will likely never manifest. The spy in this case turned out to be ineffective and the information they were giving to the Obama White House was useless because Trump was his own man not controlled by any establishment types in the form of a campaign manager. Their straw man in Manafort had been fired blowing up their case. They would of course try to resurrect it later, but the story is so flimsy its like wet paper, it nearly falls apart under its own weight. The entire operation was meant to leave almost no footprints except for the obvious intent of all the parties and their bloodlust to destroy Trump before he ever reached the White House and of course it continued thereafter. The very first thing Comey said to Trump was an attempt at blackmail by discussing the Russian dossier hoping to embarrass Trump into becoming a willing accomplice. But that didn’t work either. Four months later Trump fired Comey which is what launched this whole Russian investigation because it was out of revenge for daring to fire a Director of the FBI and that just didn’t happen in Washington D.C. In a rage the FBI pulled out all their stops and tried to get revenge on Trump for firing Comey and in doing so they revealed many of those footprints they had been trying to cover up—and the rest is history.

Yes, Spygate is real, it happened and there was at least one physical person spying directly into the party of the opposition as directed by a reigning White House. Lots of people need to go to jail because they allowed the institutions to fail the American people so spectacularly, and audaciously. They didn’t care about the law because they figured they controlled the law and they went well past Watergate in their weaponizing of our intelligence agencies to preserve their careers. I understand that Gowdy and Napolitano don’t want to destroy the institutions they have learned to love—in the legal manner of things, but the reality says that everything they are protecting is garbage and needs to be created anew with an honesty that has not been present for well over a hundred years. Before we can fix it, we have to admit that there was a problem and Spygate is just such a circumstance. And its time we deal with it.

Getting to Know Jim Renacci: Why he’s the best guy to unseat Sharrod Brown in Ohio

The last time I had seen Jim Renacci was when he was stepping off Air Force One with President Trump shortly after being asked directly by the president to run for the very important Senate seat in Ohio against the very liberal Sharrod Brown. Brown’s mission has been from the beginning several decades ago to turn Ohio from a red state to blue and after decades in public office has managed to help make it the color purple. Trump recognized that, and he looked at the map at where Senate seats could be picked up to help his agenda, and Sharrod Brown’s seat became part of his ambitious plan. When it was then considered who might have the fortitude and raw talent to take on such an entrenched incumbent the only name the President focused on was that of Jim Renacci—a self-made businessman with a background similar to Trump’s. Even more importantly to all that, Renacci like Trump has a history of winning what he does so for Jim to make a decision to abandon his run to become Ohio’s next governor he stepped up to the considerably harder task of unseating Sharrod Brown in what will prove to be one of the hottest national races in the upcoming midterm election. Before that happens though there is a primary to win and a lot of planning to do, so Renacci was in Mason, Ohio speaking to a very small, but important group of area Republicans.

As readers here know I’m not an autograph seeking, name dropping, picture-taking kind of person when it comes to people of celebrity and social importance. I’ve personally met President Trump on several occasions as well as Newt Gingrich and several other top-tier politicians and I didn’t go out of my way to have a picture taken with them, but Jim Renacci is different. He’s a very tenacious guy whom I believe is extremely sincere in what gaining that Brown Senate seat means to the nation and I respect him as a person for it. Getting to know Renacci as a candidate over the last several months, first as a person challenging the governor’s seat, and now under President Trump’s direct request, running for the valued Senate seat in Ohio to share one of the two available. Rob Portman is the other Senator, so there is a real opportunity here to gain someone in the Senate of Jim’s caliber and to further the Trump agenda with business people who understand it. The videos below are from this meeting which was only a few people listening to Jim speak in a private kitchen. Recording this meeting was a rare opportunity for others to get to know Jim Renacci without the Fox Business Channel cameras, the big rallies, or the interpretations of a left-leaning media filtering out the information they think important. In these two videos Jim just talks about his background and why he is the best candidate of all the Republican challengers to unseat Sharrod Brown.

One of the last questions in this meeting was directed at what Renacci specifically has regarding talent to perform this important historic journey and Jim modestly didn’t answer the question as fully as he could. Being a business guy, he is happy to let his record speak for itself because he honestly likes the other Republicans who are also running for the opportunity to take on Sharrod Brown. After all, only Renacci has been personally endorsed by the President of the United States, so he let that question linger softly—but I’ll be happy to answer it on his behalf. One thing that Jim has that others don’t is that he’s good on television. He is a frequent guest on the Fox Business Channel and MSNBC—among many others and in this modern era of television communication, Jim is good on camera. He knows how to speak the language of television, which is in how to communicate in short segments and with using all the range that a blocked off face can deliver to a direct audience in their living rooms. When running against an entrenched incumbent that has the power of the entire Democratic Party using a friendly press to preserve their position, it takes being not just a great candidate to win a race like this—it will take someone who is fantastic on television, and Renacci is.

In those videos Renacci told the story of how he came into politics in the first place, and it’s a good one that everyone should hear. Jim could easily live a good life as a self-made person and stay out of the political theater, but like Trump he found himself entering politics to offer his unique skills where they were needed most. Jim had a Chevy dealership around the time that General Motors went bankrupt and at the time many dealerships were being forced to be closed. This activity had nothing to do with Jim’s business skills, as he had been very successful, it was simply that he was selected to be closed which went against everything he understood about how things should work. So he reached out to his local congressman for help only to have that person vote against his dealership. The congressman was a Democrat and from there Jim challenged that seat in the next election and won. He has been in congress ever since facing down severe oppositions in the process.

There were many more stories than that communicated in that cozy kitchen in Mason which no media outlet would cover. There isn’t time or enough print for most media to dedicate to those types of stories, leaving voters often mystified about the actual people running. That left this little event to have quite great importance to those lucky enough to attend. To me there isn’t a better positioned person for that Senate job, and Jim certainly has the right level of fight in him to be successful. He will do what needs to be done to win, much like Trump did in his election against Hillary Clinton. Ohio may be purple now politically, but as Jim said in his speech, its going back to red and this upcoming election for this particular Senate seat is the battle that will define that political movement. However, even more important than all that is that it will solidify Trump’s agenda with more help at the federal level with the kind of Republicans that Trump is bringing to the Party as a whole.

I’ve been in the Renacci camp for most of a year now, first as a candidate for governor, and now in his run for Senate. Few politicians excite me the way that Jim does, which is why I did take a picture next to him. I did it because I was proud of him for taking on this big role and I want to help him any way possible. It is my hope that once he is elected that more business professionals at the height of their careers, like Trump was and now Renacci will follow in their footsteps and offer their skills to the world of politics. When we complain that politics is full of unsavory characters it is because many of them are not battle hardened in the rules of business. They are simply referees in the games of life, they are not the superstars who make their livings accomplishing things. Renacci is a new kind of candidate that are emerging under the years of Trump to bring the best of American enterprise into the role of managing our federal government. And that is a great opportunity for America to finally be politically what it has been in all other sectors of private endeavor, which is why getting excited about Jim Renacci for the Ohio Senate seat in Washington D.C. is very easy to do.

The Power of God is Behind President Trump: How a second storm is saving Washington D.C.

It was August 24th 1814 when a tornado touched down in the middle of Constitution Avenue and picked up two English canons and hurled them at friend and foe alike. The English were attacking Washington D.C. and had been burning it to the ground virtually unopposed setting every building ablaze except for the Patent office when what appears to be a hurricane appeared and literally washed away the British forces. The White House and other government buildings were completely destroyed, but there had been nothing to remove the foreign invaders from the early city of American independence until the storm came and drove the troops back to their ships which were also badly damaged. There have been storms up to then and of course since, but the odds of a storm of that magnitude coming at just that moment are pretty incalculable in the randomness of chance leaving many to believe that it was the power of God himself who blew grace upon the streets of the fledgling little city in America to save it from the misdeeds of global institutionalism.

That same smug institutionalism had returned to Washington D.C. two centuries later, this time instead of coming as a Red Coat army it appeared as lawyers, lobbyists, and politicians taught by the descendents of those same English dissidents jealous of American independence to destroy through bureaucracy what the fires and cannons of 1814 couldn’t. And again, like the storm of 1814 which came from nowhere to send British troops fleeing the battlefield to save themselves a new storm came ideologically this time to save America’s capital from the enemies that wished to destroy it. However, instead of a literal storm this time, it was a metaphorical one, because that is where the threats were most hostile, in the ideology and legislation of the country itself, not the aggressive antics of a literal army. Due to the nature of the human race by the year 2018 military action was no longer endorsed by the rituals of valor leaving villains to rewrite history through red tape, apathy, and lawyerly destruction through law suits. Regardless of the form of villainy the next storm that came to save Washington D.C. was an election which put Donald J. Trump in the White House by the grace of universal law intent to preserve American resolve across the face of the earth for the furtherance of the ideas which necessitate human expansion into the unknown future.

Of course when the British attacked in 1814 they sat down at the White House dinner table that still had the food of a feast ready to feed the Madisons that evening. Dolly had been forced to flee moments before the English arrived with the original portrait of George Washington fresh under her arm for safe keeping knowing that everything else would be destroyed. She met her husband later on the road at a tavern where the president collected his thoughts on the lofty matter of resurrecting the ambitions of the young country. The British forces mocked James Madison within the captured White House and elsewhere around the city as they destroyed everything bit by bit. To the English the American experiment was a foolish enterprise against the institutionalism of Europe and they took offense which fueled their raid. Once captured they couldn’t help themselves in glorifying their obvious superiority over the Americans who had fled the battlefield leaving their capital open to the invading troops in the first place. That is, until the storm washed them away returning the city to its original occupants.

That same smugness was on excessive display in the Michael Wolff book Fire and Fury which was a left of center—even right of center response to the election of Donald Trump. The purpose of the entire book was to highlight the might of institutionalism against an American president molded in the typical way that most true Americans are built, not from collective group think, but from inner resolve driven by a fortitude forged by free souls. The same resolve that sent the small statured James Madison on horseback back into the city after the storm had done its work to rally people to reconstruction and to eventually defeat the English with an American steadfastness the world had never witnessed before. This would climax at the Battle of New Orleans where the greatest army of the world was soundly defeated by a far superior battlefield commander in Andrew Jackson.

Like most books, Fire and Fury did manage to capture some truth from the perspective of the enemy just as the English mocked American parliament as they attacked. Much of the book was written from the perspective of Steve Bannon whom Wolff had obviously hooked onto for the contents of his book, and Bannon had correctly identified the fuel of the Trump presidency. It was Trump against the institutions, a wild card of a man who couldn’t be controlled in any way by the usual practices. Of course to Wolff who represented the very terror of the institutionalists who had been destroying Washington D.C. procedurally for many years, the Trump presidency was something to be mocked and ridiculed. For the destroyers of Washington D.C. Trump was a nightmare, but to the rest of us who elected him, he was a savior who was set to wash away the sins which had been corrupting it. To many Trump was sent to Washington D.C. like that storm so many years before to clean up the streets and give the city back to the people who it was supposed to represent. The buildings could be rebuilt, but the rest had to go. Trump was the very power of God sent to retake the city for the benefit of mankind.

The last great hope that the villains of the Beltway had to defend themselves from the Trump presidency was that the FBI which had fallen under control of the scoundrels controlling the city would stop the president from achieving his victory. The Wolff book chronicles that hope through the first eight months of the first year Trump was in the White House, from the perspective of the villains, their hopes and dreams to remain occupants of the Washington D.C. culture. Their hope just as the English invaders before them had been that the institutions of human invention would triumph ultimately over the individual ambitions of a free people. In the case of Trump, their hope was that true or not, the Russian investigation would destroy the presidency by keeping occupants of the White House so mired in scandal and concern that they would be always on their heels mired into inaction. And that through that inaction, Trump would be forced to show nothing after four years in office and would be removed either by the next election, or impeachment in case the pressure from the special investigation could turn up something to justify such action.

But the miscalculation that was made was that the nature of Trump was not a normal one—like the storm of 1814 Trump was a force of nature that defied controls and was free of the types of fear that mire most people into inaction, and that is what is destroying the villains in Washington D.C. presently. Because of what the FBI had done to set up a case against Trump, they have set an impossible standard against themselves which is now crushing them with a scrutiny for which they will never escape. The Democrats in their alliance with the FBI, CIA and the NSA have left themselves vulnerable to the storm that is Donald J. Trump and they will not survive. It’s only been a year of the Trump presidency and already it is obvious what is happening. Only this time there are no ships to retreat too, there is no country to flee too, there is no surrender under a white flag of truce. The institutionalists have gone too far and destroyed their own links into the old world, and destruction is the only fate available to them. This leaves us all to ponder the nature of American protection, is it truly the hand of God that is moving these events into furtherance, or something else? Regardless of the answer to that question, it is clear that preservation is always on the horizon for any American motive and that is a lesson that all villains should take heed. No matter how much they scheme, no matter what their plots indicate, whatever is needed to foil their plans will come to pass if threats become more than the minds of normal man can undertake. President Trump is just the latest storm to clean Washington of its villains, and in the aftermath, we will find a city that needs us to carry it forward once again marching as soldiers of Christianity toward a battlefield constructed by the forces of evil determined to forever chain us to the limits of institutionalism and chaos created by villainy.
