Not To Act Is To Act

72142125_2459415580801269_7458638093109690368_nSomewhere in the last 10 years and 9300+ blog posts, I’m sure I’ve used this incredible statement before, but it certainly bears repeating now, given this horrific time in U.S. history.  Those who sit around and watch the meltdown of the federal government in silence are not “guiltless,” to use Bonhoeffer’s words.

    Craig,

    You seem to mistake the meltdown of your own hopes, dreams and political/ideological agenda, with those of America.

    Your little world, as you sit ruminating around your cracker barrel, doesn’t constitute the entire nation! Yours, is just one voice among millions.

    That doesn’t make your voice any less important, but it does mean you should abandon the belief it’s the only voice worthy of being heard.

    It seems to be a fashionable era for “Whistleblowers”!

    A CNN whistleblower leaked video footage of the President of CNN, Jeff Zucker, outlining how he has pursued a vendetta against President Trump, and his involvement with Democrat politicians, Current and former FBI officials, even some State Attorneys-General.

    The tapes reveal his obsessive willingness to conspire to construct false narratives and the improper obtaining of information from government officials to wage a vendetta against the President.

    Jeff Zucker boasts he will remove President Trump by “any means, fair or foul, it doesn’t matter he got to go” \.

    Nick Neville, a CNN media coordinator and “whistle-blower” claimed:

    “Jeff Zucker, basically has a personal vendetta against Trump,” said at CNN. “It’s not gonna be positive for Trump. He hates him. He’s going to be negative, even if the story or rumour is untrue.”

    Another CNN “whistle-blower” has also come forward to confirm the evidence.

    Cary Poarch, a satellite uplink technician at CNN’s Washington, D.C. bureau whistle-blower, has revealed he agreed to wear a hidden camera and expose the bias of CNN. He also claims he was threatened by FBI agents and CNN security is he revealed anything concerning private communication between CNN and FBI or anti-Trump government officials.

    Another CNN whistle-blower, claims, “Jeff Zucker’s obsession with is very personal. Zucker’s obsessive hatred lies in something that happened year ago, long before Trump sought political office”.

    But here’s the thing, Craig, will you speak out against such corruption in the media and law enforcement?

    Or will you remain silent ?

    (I think the consensus around the cracker barrel will be to remain silent. Hypocrisy runs deep ).

    Craig,

    Wow, yeah CNN asks the “hard hitting questions without fear or favour, right ?

    Hmmmm, here’s a transcript of CNN’s Anderson Cooper during the 4th Democratic Presidential primary debate;

    ” Anderson Cooper, CNN, ah,..the impeachment inquiry is centered on Trump’s attempts to get political dirt on Vice President Biden and his son. Trump has falsely accused your son of doing something wrong while serving on a company board in Ukraine. I want to point out there’s no evidence of wrongdoing by either one of you”,

    Cooper paused, then continued,” Having said that, on Sunday, you announced if you are president, no one in your family will be involved in any foreign businesses. My question is, if it’s not okay for a president’s family to be involved in foreign businesses, why was it okay for your son when you were vice president?”

    Biden then replied, “My son did nothing wrong,I did nothing wrong. I carried out the policy of the United States in rooting out corruption in Ukraine. That’s what we should be focusing on.”

    Cooper nodded furiously and chastened moved on to other candidate.

    A few minutes later, Sen. Cory Booker interjected, and denounced denounced the moderators for allowing Biden to be subjecting to such a “humiliating” question”.

    Brooker complain it was outrageous “a statesman such as Biden should be asked such a question”.

    Anderson Cooper then apologized !

    What a farce! Also what a bad mistake. Here was an opportunity to deal with the issue before to open slather of a general election.

    No doubt the knitting circle round the cracker barrel will be fantasizing that Anderson Cooper is the modern day equivalent of Ed Morrow, not a venal, sniveling little sycophantic disgrace.

    Ah, but you still remain silent! Condemned by your own standards as a hypocrite!
