Tuesday Open Thread – February 23rd

Tomb of the Unknown ChristmasOur Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.

For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

About Ted Cruz – Using Trans-Pacific Trade Deal Example…

Just because presidential candidate Senator Ted Cruz is an exceptionally brilliant liar, it does not mean those who fall prey to his deceit, his supporters, are bad people – SEE HERE.

Hardly anyone pays close enough attention to politicians, legislative constructs, inner working machinations, and the attached agenda/intent, as would be needed to fully grasp what is going on.  How could the casual follower possibly understand?  It is an overwhelmingly challenging task even for those engaged 24/7/365.

As a consequence it should come as no surprise to find politicians who are skilled at maneuvering around sunlight and keeping their supporters in the dark.  The very best of them, like Senator Cruz, are exceptionally well versed in the dark arts of deception.

Senator Cruz is not ‘Robert the Bruce’, he’s far more cunning.  When you combine his honed and sharpened sword with the forged shield of religion (and also accept the severity of his training) you recognize him as an adversary able to lead good people in wrong directions.

Convincing Cruz supporters of this truth is an almost impossible task.  Hence, we have repeatedly said not to even try, just let them awaken on their own. However, that said, there are times when the sunlight needs to penetrate; when urgency becomes vital.  We are closely approaching that phase.

We are nearing the cusp…. final attempts are warranted. (more…)

A Republic If We Can Keep It – A Message To Ted Cruz Supporters….

Ben Franklin told us long ago we have been given a constitutional republic “if you can keep it“.  What Dr. Franklin failed to tell the anxious crowd was that inside the convention hall the attendees unanimously agreed, the enemy we needed to keep it from – was ourselves.

patriotLast year after assembling volumes of research and data we shared a message that many found troubling; we outlined the GOPe road-map.  Some people immediately thought it was ridiculous, however as time has gone along reality began to settle in – what we described in the GOPe “splitter strategy” was indeed factually taking place throughout 2015/2016.

Some people cannot accept the inherent discomfort; that’s completely understandable.

We are not generally experts in much more than gathering data and assembling the pieces to explain the most logical reasoning for them; a political ‘Occam’s Razor’, if you will.

However, for those who generally understand the principles behind the larger political machinations, an evolution is now evident.  The GOPe have modified their plans, morphed and mutated the original scheme while maintaining the initial intent. (more…)
