Truth Subverted

Many well-intentioned people are still confused and maybe even frustrated, why others cannot see the “wisdom” of their choices.

Choices that have been phrased and echoed by most mainstream media with almost lock-step cadence, enunciated by the supposedly staid and august academia and punditry, and by the media-covered protestations of most vocal politicians.  Soundly repeated by those many in critical levels in the Deep State or the administrative state ensconced in their life-long careers by their leftist patrons. And yes, even in very popular Hollywood and sport and entertainment media who have the almost uncontested ears and minds of many of the populace.

Did we leave anybody else?  Maybe so, since this eerie unanimity covers practically all corridors of power and influence in society, the enthroned and established elites of all flavors.

Seeing and understanding this, it is easy to realize how truth if the desire is to suborn it has a very difficult time in seeing light.

It is also easy to understand why and how continued discussions of the issues are skewed against those who seek and honor truth and justice.   Like the obviously two-tiered justice system in the US?  Piled on and stacked against so much, the truth has a very challenging time and will require Herculean efforts to be released.

But truth at times in obtuse ways is let out, sometimes unwittingly.  Exposed in events and results that cannot be easily managed or manipulated, like stats, polls, political and economic realities, or results of democratic elections, etc.   Things that suggest or point to the opposite of those promoted by an entire generation of committed advocates blinded by rage and loathing. 

Knotty things like if things are so bad in the current regime, why are those out of power so determined to take credit for what is happening?

Why do allegedly iron-clad cases brought against the current regime, cases conducted and executed in most unfair and partisan ways, end up exonerating the accused?

Why do claims of injustice and criminality alleged by the current regime do not end up in exculpatory rebuttals, but usually end up with at least lame apologies and sliding affirmation, though so far no criminal accountability has yet been lodged?

Or why do the numbers in free gatherings of people undisputedly suggest that the current regime is a lot more popular and followed than those oppose to it?

If truth is not vigorously pursued then, the slow pace of historical reckoning will have to be waited upon.

Will well-intentioned minds become inquiring minds?

An Unlikely Instrument

Donald J. Trump created the perfect storm for both the US and the rest of the world.

He literally upended most everything of note in the world that had become staid and part of its encrusted landscape.  Turned them all upside down and exposed their unpleasant underbellies.

And this he did with his brash and unrefined personality and rhetoric, lighting aflame the minds and hearts of those who had accepted as realities the mossy standards that the world had been covered with.

Sadly, a good part of the world continues on its merry ways, many unable to accept this change and fighting tooth and nail to try and maintain their status quo.  With many still continuing to do with willful intent.

But what is more pitiful are the many who refuse to use their minds to see the rectitude and goodness done by Trump, simply because they could not imagine him being an instrument of good and peace.  They continue to depict him as the Trump of a lamented pre-era, egotistical and trivial, and so enamored with his outsized ego.  So they allow their vengeful hearts to continue to abhor and loathe every move he makes, and continue to cast their lots to the side that in reality has had its foot on their throats, and thus, not allowing them to prosper.  And release them from the servitude of ignorance and ill will.

Doubly sad that many of these latter people count as those who are near and dear, and thus, ought to know better.  That when somebody tolls for what is right and that that somebody only has their better interests in mind, that they should at the very least take notice and heed where necessary their admonition.

That hopeful consummation continues to be devoutly wished for.  For we continue to be convinced that ……..

Veritas Liberavit Vos.

And as slowly being unveiled, the Trump reality is inching its way to the fore.  And if the prophesy completes then this truly is a masterful stroke of that Being who engineered all this.

The expected acquittal on Wednesday from the impeachment charges leveled at Trump will only be one bead in a string of victory gems he has been able to garner.  It started with his most unlikely win in 2016.  The almost 3 years spent by a partisan special counsel convened to try to prove collusion with Russia, that came up empty-handed. And sunniest of them all are the ones shown in the economy and the world stage.  With historic trade deals with China, Mexico, and Canada; more financial participation of other European countries in NATO, etc.  The world has suddenly become fairer and more equitable.  And government has suddenly minded the forgotten men – the disappearing middle class, the hapless veterans, the lowly but many minorities, etc.

Using such an iconoclastic figure.  One so diametrically opposite to the hardy model etched with sweat and blood by that lowly carpenter thousands of years ago.
