Has anything really happened since Trump was inaugurated? From Donald Jeffries at donaldjeffries.substack.com:
No statesmen in our woodpile
As I’ve mentioned before, I have no idea why I still pay the slightest attention to politics. I derive absolutely no enjoyment from it. Changes that are absolutely essential never come. The changes that do occur just make things worse. And we continue to be “represented” by carnival barkers and grifters with capped teeth.
Behind these shameless frontmen/frontwomen/fronttheythems are an illusory group we still can’t really identify. Jews? Freemasons? The Vatican? I think it’s something like the Illuminati, but of course I have no real knowledge. I haven’t been invited to a single Bilderberg meeting, or all male funfest at Bohemian Grove. But as Truman’s Secretary of Defense James Forrestal told Joe McCarthy, before someone pushed him out of a window at Bethesda Naval Hospital, if there wasn’t a giant conspiracy, once in a while they’d make a mistake in our favor. The historical record shows that they have never made a mistake in our favor, except possibly the founding of the Republic, or the election of JFK. As William Henry Harrison said, before he died after barely a month as president, “all the measures of the government are directed to the purpose of making the rich richer and the poor poorer.” That’s a pretty profound quote.
So maybe it isn’t surprising that Harrison, colorfully known as Tippicanoe, stood too long in the rain giving his inaugural address. He was old, and it was raining, or maybe it was too cold. So what else could he do but die in office? That quote I unearthed is probably unknown to 99.9 percent of Americans. But then, practically anything of real political or historical significance is unknown to 99.9 percent of Americans. We are a dumbed down lot, and almost all are historically illiterate. So here comes a Thought Criminal like me, trying to dispense real history- hidden history- to the public. That’s never going to make you rich, but it does provide a sense of satisfaction. The few seemingly honest political figures always seem to get screwed. Murdered, like Huey Long and the Kennedys. Slandered, like everyone from William Jennings Bryan to Cynthia McKinney. They will allow a Thomas Massie, just for their entertainment.
