Due to my feelings of betrayal, I have decided to forego the other two lessons from Thomas Paine until later. Today and in coming articles, I wish to address another issue of grave concern.
Occam’s Razor states that the simplest explanation is usually the correct one. Another way of saying this is, “The theory that requires the least number of assumptions is usually the correct one. Of course, this is where Americans get the saying, “KISS — Keep it Simple Stupid…. Or Keep it Short & Simple.” Of course, in the twentieth century we were fortunate to have intellectuals like Richard Dawkins.
If we look at Richard Dawkins equation for deducing the veracity of a theory, he said, “The power of a theory is equal to the number of the things it explains divided by the number of things we need to assume.” What do we know or what do we presume to know?
I will start by listing the things we need to presume/assume. I think the number is uncomfortably high; however, the things I hope to explain is essentially EVERYTHING we — as American citizens… as world citizens… have witnessed these last few years.
Before I get into what options we have before us, I will leave that for a later article. Hopefully, this will allow you to see what we’re up against. Sadly, because of propaganda, we — most Americans — don’t even know what we’re up against.
FACT/PRESUMPTION 1: Donald J. Trump was a populist president who was able to attract unprecedented numbers to the Republican Party.
Narrative: An unprecedented number of citizens voting in the 2020 election was the reason Trump lost the election. They would have us believe that although Trump attracted a record-number to the Republican cause, Biden was equally successful at motivating a record-number of his followers too.
FACT/PRESUMPTION 2: MSM has been compromised by the Intelligence Community (IC) and today has absolute control of the narrative generated by conventional media outlets. Project Mockingbird is real and contributed — but was NOT the beginning of this process — the beginning was much earlier. [See “Congressional Record: Sixty-fourth Congress, Second Session; Vol. LIV, Part 3; From January 27, 1917, to February 12, 1917.”] * In this entry into the Congressional Record, Oscar Callaway, observed that much of the fake news at that time was coming from London. (Two months before America declared war on Germany and entered WWI.) See images 2a-2f below.
Narrative: Trump was a whiner because he decried the treatment from the press and accused them of being “fake news.” However, they want us to envision Trump as being a new phenomenon. It didn’t start with the assassination of JFK. Already in 1963, the Deep State was powerful enough to liquidate a sitting president of the United States. They have only gotten stronger since then. The “Business Plot” that involved the most-decorated Marine alive at that time — “General Smedley Butler — occurred in 1932. (Butler was 30 years before JFK, and Callaway was sounding the alarm about “fake news” in 1917. That’s, of course, a century before Donald J. Trump, but they prefer that you forget about that.)
FACT/PRESUMPTION 3: There exists a “Deep State” facilitated by the National Security State (NSS) of the United States. Overclassification is a problem because there exist too many incentives to classify a document other than security. [See New York Times: Op-Ed “America’s Unnecessary Secrets” by Elizabeth Goitein and J. William Leonard, dated November 7, 2011.] They cite that both the Department of Defense (DOD) and the National Security Council (NSC) say that as much as 50–90% of classified material could probably be declassified and made available to the public. See images 3a-3d below.
Narrative: They would have us believe that the existence of a Deep State is just the figment of the imagination of conspiracy theorists. They wish people would remain ignorant of the message from men like George Orwell, Norman Dodd, Carroll Quigley, G. Edward Griffin, John Taylor Gatto, James Corbett, and a multitude of American, Canadian, and Australian whistleblowers.
FACT/PRESUMPTION 4: The American IC benefited from the creation of the NSS. It was namely the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) which helped establish the American Deep State. Colonel “Fletcher” Prouty recalled helping Allen Dulles — the first civilian director of the CIA — to establishing a “Focal-Point” system throughout the federal government. David Ratcliffe recorded the interview May 6, 1989. This focal-point system allowed the CIA to plant its people in every department and/or agency they deemed necessary to maintain secrecy. See images 4a-4b below.
Narrative: They would have us believe that spycraft is an essential part of any government. The NSS is necessary and an integral part of America and American culture. Of course, they fail to mention that THEY are the reason for the world being a dangerous place. They start fires just so they can put them out.
FACT/PRESUMPTION 5: After the Church Committee (aka the “United States Senate Select Committee to Study Governmental Operations with Respect to Intelligence Activities”) was a U.S. Senate select committee in 1975 that investigated abuses by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), National Security Agency (NSA), Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). If it had not been for COINTELPRO or Daniel Ellsberg releasing the Pentagon Papers, there would have never been Watergate or “The Secret Team.” Watergate whistleblower “Deep Throat” (Mark Felt) said that he was encouraged by the events surrounding COINTELPRO and the author of the book “The Secret Team” was Colonel Fletcher Prouty — who would later be referenced in an Oliver Stone movie as “Mr. X.” See images 5a-5d below.
Narrative: They would have us believe that although the U.S. IC got caught up in some nefarious activities in the past, many of those were addressed due to the Church Committee and the CIA is now a law-abiding institution. Again, they wish we remain ignorant of the message of whistleblowers like John Perkins, Bill Binney, Seth Rich, Bunny Greenwood, Chelsea Manning or Susan Lindauer. They continue with their illegal activities. They never stopped.
Regarding the events we’ve all been witness to for the last four to five years, there are only a handful of likely scenarios that could explain such madness.
SCENARIO 1: Given the prevailing narrative, even those who opposed Trump would have to admit that Trump is the epitome of the “populist president.” Even in a polarized nation — he was able to reach Americans the Republicans had largely ignored in the past because it was presumed that they’d never vote for a Republican. In recognition of this fact, perhaps all conspiracy theorists are just paranoid and many of these allegations are baseless. In this scenario, Q-Anon was simply satire and Trump was possibly the “accidental president.” Nothing to see here, move along!
SCENARIO 2: If everything can’t be attributed to just over-active imaginations and there is truly extensive corruption throughout the U.S. government, perhaps Trump was genuinely looking to help. If he was genuinely trying to help his fellow Americans, perhaps he was just overwhelmed with the corruption. Was Trump approached by someone within government and asked to run? If this is what happened, perhaps Trump was “played” like everyone else. Maybe he was promised that he wouldn’t lose in 2020. Was he promised that justice would prevail? Was he assured that they “had his back”? Is Trump just as much a victim as we are?
SCENARIO 3: President Trump is an integral part of a White Hat collaboration in an effort to make America great again. Either this was never intended to be a quick-fix or there must’ve been a change of plans.
SCENARIO 4: Donald J. Trump is an integral part of the establishment. In the past, I’ve written at length about the Hegelian dialectic. This presumes that Trump knowingly participated in a ruse to give the NSS time to tweak their systems. By allowing people more freedom allowed them to identify where they need to improve their systems. The Internet is an incredibly efficient means to communicate. They thought by controlling Big Tech that they could also control the amount of truth people were exposed to online. Fortunately for us, they underestimated the power of the Internet.
MY ASSESSMENT: It’s my assessment that Trump is an integral part of the establishment. In the coming articles, I’ll explain why. You’re not going to like what I have to say. I suspect many people’s Cognitive Dissonance to kick-in again. It’s NOT what they say, but what they fail to say or refuse to discuss… the elephant in the room.
FACT/PRESUMPTION 2
NOTE: Democratic Congressman from Texas’s Twelfth District, Oscar Callaway, asked to have entered into the “Congressional Record” some news articles from various reports from around the country where he asserted, “…how the newspapers of this country have been handled by the munition manufacturers.” Images follow:
FACT/PRESUMPTION 3
NOTE: Overclassification continues to be a problem in D.C. & The National Security State
FACT/PRESUMPTION 4
NOTE: CIA was largely subversive at its founding (1947) to undermine U.S. institutions and infrastructure. It’s possible that the National Security State was created just to facilitate the creation of the Deep State.
FACT/PRESUMPTION 5
NOTE: There is a mountain of evidence to show that the CIA did not clean up its act after being caught in some nefarious situations and circumstances.
