THE BRAVERY TO CROSS THE LINE

Whistle blowers serve an important roll in society.  Being a whistle blower isn't easy.

Among police there is a concept called the "blue wall of silence."  It alleges that there is peer pressure which dissuades police officers from reporting (ratting) on a colleague's misconduct.  I don't know if this is a fair characterization. And I don't know if exists in the FBI and the CIA.

Agents in the Federal Bureau of Investigation live by three core principles, Fidelity, Bravery and Integrity.

Fidelity is in essence loyalty to the core values, code of ethics and mission of the FBI.

If there has been the gross misconduct that AG Barr and Republicans assert regarding Spying on the Trump campaign it is logical to wonder if more people in our government noticed it from inside.

One thing that US Attorney Durham needs to do is break down that so called code of silence if it exists inside the FBI, DOJ and CIA.

There are many interrogation and law enforcement techniques to get a suspect to confess or to "give themselves up." As the saying goes, "we can do this the hard way or the easy way." But how do you encourage witnesses with evidence that may be important to the government's investigation to come forward voluntarily?

AG Barr can help in an important way. He can appeal to one of the FBI's three principles - Integrity!

One way AG Barr is going to exert his influence on agents, as well others in our government, is to bring to bear the persuasive power of his oratory and intellectual skills coupled with the stature of his title and stellar reputation, in order to convince those with any relevant knowledge to come forward with evidence of the corrupt practises in our government relating too their investigation.

By giving compelling speeches on the higher principles of service and loyalty to the Nation, above all else, Bill Barr will elicit a needed response.

As the investigation moves forward in 2020, I anticipate we will be hearing more from Bill Barr.  And in fact, we already are.

The hope is that credible whistle blowers have the bravery to come forward.  The word credible is key!

Witness credibility is crucial because sometimes people make false claims for personal, financial and political reasons. That is why a suspect, even the President, has the right to face their accuser!

THE KEY TO SUCCESS FOR DEMOCRATS

Did you happen to catch the Washington Post opinion piece by Media Critic Erik Wemple?

Wemple's article was fifth in a six-part series about the media's handling of the Steele dossier.

There is the truth. And there is the opposite. There are truth seekers like investigative journalist John Solomon. And there are people who are the opposite.  There is real news. And there is the opposite. MSN's Rachel Maddow is the opposite in every sense.

What makes Fake News so damaging is not simply that it has an agenda.  Or that it seeks to satisfy it's audience with misinformation.

What makes fake news people such as Rachel Maddow so dangerous is that people believe them. What makes her and others in her industry so insidious is that she is corrupting the thought processes of good, ethical and intelligent people.

WHY IS IT THAT WE HAVE THE PROBLEMS THAT WE DO IN AMERICA?  I believe it is because people would rather believe the lies than face the truth. 

Trump wasn't elected despite leaders like Obama and news makers like Rachel Maddow. He was elected BECAUSE of them.

Therefore, the louder voices such as Rachel Maddow, Lawrence O'Donnell, Chris Cuomo, Brian Stelter, Chuck Todd and others get, the more likely it is that Trump will get re-elected.

The Left has yet to figure out that the key to their success is NOT going on & on about what is wrong with Trump. The key for the Left's success is the same as the key to Right's success.

The key to success for both the Left and the Right is the same - To fix itself!  

For both the Left and the Right to succeed they each have to seek the truth starting with themselves. They each have to identify their own party's faults. They each have to acknowledge their own mistakes. Then, only after they do, they have to reach across the isle, join hands with the other party and move forward to fix America's problems.

Trump got elected because he identified the lies and faults in the Republican party. Before Trump beat Hillary, he beat his Party!  And the establishment in the Party hated him for it. But he had the people's support because he called out his own Party!  He called out the Bush's, Romney McCain and other leaders.

Trump will obliterate any of the Democratic candidates on the ticket because Trump is easily able to do what Democrats have refused to do -- identify the faults within the Democratic party. Meanwhile, anyone on the Democratic Presidential ticket who does so is scorned. The treatment of Tulsi Gabbard is a perfect example.

The Democratic Party will continue to decline until the fake news media starts firing liars like Maddow and O'Donnell and canceling garbage shows like The View and replacing them with legitimate truth seekers. That decline is going to steepen as testimony in the Senate gets underway.

The Democratic party is going to hit rock-bottom when US Attorney John Durham and AG Barr announce the findings of their criminal investigation together with indictments and the American people learn and accept the truth about the deception perpetrated on the American people by the Left and the deep state, including Republicans such as John McCain.

I predict that the Democratic party and fake news is going to be in ashes in 2020. Then it may finally be able to achieve success. Sometimes it takes utter destruction to look up and face yourself.

What it it will take next is for great leadership to rise up and fill the vacuum left by the destruction. That is what it will take for there to be a rebirth in American poltics and our Nation.

A LESSON FROM CHANUKAH

If Chanukah teaches us anything it should be not to let the government tell us what we have to worship.

Society does not get it's morals from government. Government get it's morals from the people. And the people get their morals from our Judea-Christian values.

That is the core principle that guided our Founding Fathers and the creation of our Nation.  If we forget this, like the Nation of Israel, America will be overtaken by it's enemies.

If America fails to heed the warnings of Washington and Lincoln and others, America will fall just as the mighty Babylonians and Egyptians and Greeks and Romans all did.

2020 Vision

I enjoy taking a stab at predictions for the New Year. Like goal setting, it's something I try to do at the end of every year. Here's my stab at 2020.

2020 is going to be very different.  I forsee a number events and developments which will make 2020 dramatically different than 2019, or even the last decade.

1. We are going to have a rip roaring economy.  The best GDP growth in 20+ years. Inflation will be moderate thanks to several items below.
2. Economies around the world are going to take off, especially in Asia, India and the U.K. This will be a major multi-year expansion which will lift trade and the USA economy, and coincide with the Administration's new trade deals.  The USMCA will start to pay big dividends as well.  USA farmers are big winners, but they certainly are not alone!
3. Faith in God is going to make a comeback.  The unborn finally gain some rights. End-of-times focus fuels a revival in Christianity. There will also be continued  growth in Satanism!  
4. USA energy efficiency and production are going to achieve extraordinary improvements.  Breakthroughs, discoveries and consumer behavior are going to combine to provide great promise for meeting our energy needs for the rest of the century in cleaner ways. Recycling and waste management will be a positive factor. 
5. The debate and concerns over climate changes dramatically for the better. 
6. Labor force productivity is going to take off. 
7. Labor force participation will rise measurably and add significantly to the GDP.
8. Business capital investment will accelerate and increase markedly, contributing to the GDP. 
9. The USA will make enormous investments in infrastructure.  This will pay big dividends in energy conservation and labor force productivity in the long run. 
10. Household income, wealth and spending all shoot up. This will result in a very active consumer that is making substantial durable goods purchases. Big ticket purchases will be big. The consumer will contribute to the GDP expansion in a major way.
11. America is finally going to make significant inroads to fixing health care.  This will come through big changes on multiple fronts including but not limited to delivery systems, personal accountability, new treatment methods, cost structure improvements, liability reforms, approaches to insurance coverage, etc.
12. There will be largest shakeup of the Democratic party in history as findings from the Durham investigation rocks Washington DC.  A new star will arise to lead the party. Many long time politicians in the party will be replaced. 
13. Great turnover in Congress. Lots of incumbents in Washington from both parties will lose their seats in Congress or choose to retire. Term limits have a chance of passing.
14. Donald Trump will win reelection by the largest landslide since 1936. Such a victory is going to give Trump the strongest mandate any President has had in a over a century. He will continue to remake the courts, drain the swamp, cut government programs and waste and put through his  legislative agenda.  He will fill another Supreme Court Justice, but probably not until 2021
15. Distrust in the FBI, DOJ, CIA and FISA court will cause an historic nonpartisan review and important reforms. 
16. With a new government formed in Israel, the Trump Administration will put forward an historic and vastly different approach to peace between Israel the Palestinians and other Arab nations. And it will work!  
17. Iran is further isolated.  A Revolution is coming.  An Israel and USA military action will damage Iran's ability to be a nuclear military threat or to use advance weapons. This action will be much more than an "escalation." 
18. The USA Military and Pentagon will dramatically rethink how the USA approaches defense and our role in being the world's police force. Significant and lasting strategic and tactical changes will involve new wespons technology and require new training.  
19. The USA takes big steps forward in resolving immigration and gun violence. The border wall, cooperation with Mexico and deportations will collectively result in steep declines in illegal crossings and a drop in USA crime by illegal aliens.
20. Black swans may appear including major environmental disasters! 

See what a Trump Mandate looks like.

DESTRUCTION and REBIRTH

FACING DEEP REGRET

This week's Torah parashat from Genesis is powerfully suiting. In parasha Vayashev we learn about Reuben's profound deep regret over not standing up more to his brothers who wanted to kill Jacob's favorite son Joseph.

Joseph's 11 brothers threw him into a pit and they let him be sold into slavery in Egypt.

Benjamin was deeply haunted over letting himself be ruled by the mob. Reuben's guilt and shame stayed with him his entire life.

Reuben couldn't live with himself.  So he left for Egypt to retrieve Joseph and bring him back to his father Jacob. So determined was Reuben to address his wrong deed that he said to his father,

"Kill my two sons if I do not bring him back to you." Genesis 42:37

Take a lesson Democrats.  You will regret trying to destroy the PRESIDENCY.

Yesterday's impeachment is not only a hateful Partisan attack on Trump. It is a grotesque abuse of Constitutional power and a horrendous assault on the Office the Presidency.

The concept of a "President" with balances versus a "Monarch" (King or Queen), was our Founding Fathers greatest creation.

As Providence would have it, a wild boar didn't kill Joseph as his brothers lied to their father. And little did his brothers know, Joseph's greatest days were ahead of him.

Like Reuben, Democrats will come to regret their actions for the rest of their life. And Trump's greatest successes are ahead of him.

Democratic leaders Pelosi, Schiff, Madler, Waters and others have evoked God in the performance of Sin.  That is BLASPHEMY!

Providence will protect the President of America whose faith is in God.

CREATING A VACUUM IN AMERICA

DEMOCRATS HAVE DRIVEN THEIR PARTY OFF THE CLIFF.  With the House's vote for Impeachment they've done it. There is no backing up.

"The dangerous thing about hate is that it seems so reasonable." Francious de la Rochefoucauld

Does anyone seriously think that 70 million Americans are going to let lying clowns Pelosi, Schiff and Nadler get away with impeaching President Trump?? If it weren't such a serious matter it would be laughable.

"Hate is all lie, there is no truth in hate." Kathleen Norris

What Pelosi, Schiff and Nadler have done with their 3 year effort to impeach President Trump will go down in history as the 2nd most egregious abuse of political power ever.

I said the 2nd most, because the 1st most egregious abuse of government power will be announced by AG Barr when US Attorney Durham is ready to present the findings and charges of their criminal investigation into the predication for operation Crossfire Hurricane, aka "Spygate."

Spygate and the House's bogus impeachment are part & parcel of the same evil hate based power hungry attack on Trump's Presidency.  The two sinister efforts work in tandem to try to achieve what Democrats could not achieve in the voting booth in November 2016.

Democratic leaders think they have put a permanent stain on Trump which will enable them to defeat Trump in 2020. But what they have done is the direct opposite. They haven't proven Trump's guilt, instead they have validated Trump's claims.

With hate deep in their hearts, the Democratic Party leaders have brought sin unto themselves.

"Hatred is a deathwish for the hater, not a lifewish for anything else." Audrey Larde

In the process, the Democratic leadership has sealed their own fate. They have virtually ensured the re-election of Trump in 2020 by the largest margin since 1936. There is a good chance of losing the House as well.

Democrats sought to take away Trump's power, but ultimately they will be increasing his power and his mandate.

What America is witnessing is the destructive power of hate on the hater.

In destroying themselves, rather than President Trump, the leaders of the Democratic Party, and I might add the Liberal Fake News, have done is CREATE A VACUUM!

"Hatred ,which could destroy so much, never failed to destroy the man who hated and this an immutable law." James Baldwin

Once the destruction that will come about after AG Barr and US Attorney Durham have made their case, there will be a giant hole in America. A hole that needs to filled which will act like a vacuum that will draw in new leadership and bring about a rebirth in America.

GOING OUT ON A LIMB

Sharing observations and making predictions puts oneself out there.  It exposes us to criticism and judgments. It is risky. In a sense, it is going out on a limb.

I have a tendency of going out on a limb.  In this post I will crawl out a bit further on limb I am already on.

Climbing out on a limb is what we are supposed to do in life. Climbing out on a limb is an especially human attribute.  After all, isn't that what we do when we make goals, or start a business, or go on a risky adventure of nearly any kind. Don't all such affairs begin with a mental commitment to a go out on limb? Besides, climbing out on a limb is how one gets a better view.

If you have been following my posts on Facebook or my blog you know that for a while I have been saying that there was a "RECKONING" coming concerning the political affairs of our country. A few weeks ago I said that it had begun.

In addition I have alluded to something pending that is much more cataclysmic with my repeated tag line:

0101■2020
DESTRUCTION and REBIRTH.

I have been waiting for events I expect to unfold before giving an explanation about what I mean by that ominous phrase. Without those events being public knowledge what I have to say would seem preposterous and even ludicrous.

Jonah Ben (son of) Amittia, the man I am named after, said something preposterous to the people of Nineveh around 2700 years ago. Jonah declared to the great and powerful city of the Assyrians that their entire city and all it's inhabitants would be overthrown.

One the lessons I learned from studying the Book of Jonah is to follow my truth. "MY TRUTH" is literally the meaning of the Hebrew name of Jonah's father Amittia.  As the Apostle John said, "And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." (John 8:32.)

But I digress ... so I'll get back to my predictions.

Soon my predictions won't be preposterous - they will be the logical conclusion drawn from the facts available.  That is because there will be a paradigm shift concerning politics and our government that Americans have never experienced before.

Future events will shatter beliefs that Americans are supposed to have about our Government, our political system and our Nation's most powerful and influential people and institutions.  Credibility of the mainstream media will be obliterated.

The IG Report is the tip of the iceberg.  Things will soon get much worse for the criminals, Democrats leading the impeachment effort, the Deep State and the Mainstream media.

From the IG report we now know that there was a criminal conspiracy to defraud the FISA Court, frame Carter Page and spy on the Trump campaign. But the IG report doesn't speak to the motivation and actions which lead up to this.

When AG Barr said he disagreed with IG Horowitz conclusions about a "lack of bias" he said it was because Horowitz lacked information which he and Durham had.

With that remark AG Barr confirmed my expectations and foreshadowed a huge new dimension concerning "Spygate" that will be revealed when US Attorney Durham comes forward with the findings of his criminal investigation.

I am now convinced that AG Barr and Attorney Dunham have information on what predicated the spying and the parties involved. That information will ROCK THE WORLD.

As bad as it is that parties in the FBI criminally defrauded the FISA court, the revelations that I expect to be revealed by Durham and Barr are far worse.

When the announcement of the findings of Durham's investigation are revealed the implications are going to dwarf the impeachment!  The facts to be revealed, and the crimes that will be prosecuted will show the impeachment to be the political charade it is. In fact it will turn the impeachment upside down and make it absurd on it's face.

Democrats will be so embarrassed about the impeachment they started that I would not be surprised to see the House move to cancel the impeachment in hopes of stopping a trial that will be devastating for them in the Senate. That in itself would be an unprecedented and stunning turn of events. But it would be a futile if it happens because it will not stop the wheels of justice which are underway.

What's to come will bring into doubt the trust Americans have in the highest levels of our government and the elected and appointed officials who run our country. It will rock the Democratic party and American institutions to the core!  This will be the greatest test of our Constitution in American history.

If events unfold as I expect, they will set up a dynamics which will have startling effects. One such effect leads me to offer the following prediction.

President Trump won't only be elected to a second term. He will be elected by the highest electoral college and popular vote margin since the 1936 election of FDR. Trump's mandate will have profound implications for the next quarter century at least.

But I have gotten ahead of myself. What will happen between now and the election is equally significant.  For those predictions you'll have to wait until next month.
