If you have not heard that term, you have not been watching or reading the right news sources.  In the coming months, you, as Americans, are going to have to face something you never could have conceived, you never would have believed, and may not know how to handle.

Be calm, daylight reveals the truth.

Some of you who follow Congressional hearings have heard of Crossfire Hurricane, and it may have caused you to shudder.   It is real; it was testified to under oath by top FBI personnel; it was deployed against an American.   And we are going to explore it in the next few Blogs.

But, for now, just take a look at the name itself.   Ask yourself what crossfire is.  It is fIre from more than one direction converging on a single spot.  Ask yourself if you would like to be caught in a crossfire.   Certainly it is a tactic to guarantee that you hit the enemy from both sides, thus insuring he falls.

And Hurricane.   Well we all know the devastating force, winds, inundating floods, and treacherous clockwise/counterclockwise churning that a hurricane creates.   Not to mention its sudden changes in direction.   And it is broad, almost inescapable if you are in its direct path.

So, your tax payer dollars have been used in the last three years to create a hurricane deployed against American citizens.  Simultaneously, the individuals caught in the hurricane were hit with crossfire in an attempt to bring them down.

Who would conceive of this diabolical plot?   Who would further name it in such a sinister way?  Who was the target?  Did they survive?

Let’s talk.

Little Petty Pompous People

When I was young, my parents taught me manners.   Yours probably did too.  And, as I grew, they and other elders taught me to communicate with respect.  I’ve had some hard lessons learned through my life of what happens when I communicated too harshly or severely, using too much force, or too little respect.

There are times when one must hit back against unfairness, injustice, and stupidity.   Today is one of them.  I will attempt to mind my manners, but you may need a seat belt anyway.  And I encourage you to pass this Blog to any journalists you know, and, more importantly, to anyone who forms their opinions and priorities based upon the opinion of their favorite daytime TV talk show host, or their favorite night time cable news host.

By now, everyone knows the President of the United States has successfully negotiated a deal with Mexico.   You may also have watched the pomp and circumstance of his and the First Lady’s visit with the Queen, their visit with the heir to the throne Prince Charles, the State Banquet, the meeting with Prime Minister May, their historic visit to Ireland, their stunning and moving participation in the D-Day Commemoration.

If you weren’t shown images and reporting on these diverse and equally significant meetings, you either weren’t watching, or the news agency you were watching chose not to clue you into the world affairs.

I saw a chyron a few days ago that stunned me.  Fox News was alerting their audience to the fact that other networks were criticizing the First Lady for wearing sunglasses during the Normandy D-Day event.   Sure enough, other channels spent their time–not talking about the Mexico breakthrough, or any of the thousands of images and choices they had available–but rather about their perceived faux pas by the First Lady.

I don’t know whether it is taboo to wear sunglasses in the sun at such an occasion.   I have never researched that.  But–and here is my point–neither did the news media as far as I can tell.   No one sited some book of protocol.  No one sited any source or reference. They were too lazy to actually research.  Their “research” appears to be that they looked around in the crowd and did not see others wearing sun glasses.   So, they immediately concluded that Melania Trump must have erred.  You or I could observe and speculate.  But, where is the actual research for the smear by Media.  Goodness knows, if they had done that, it might have killed their attack–designed to embarrass the First Lady of the United States, and the United States.  I, for one, would like to know–so that the next time I am First Lady and will be honoring America’s fallen heroes, I know what the Media feels I should wear.

Of all the things she did last week, these little, petty, pompous people chose to talk about SUNGLASSES. I suggest you think long and hard about this before you rely upon any of these people for an analysis of anything.   Even if it were a faux pas, why not talk about all the other exquisitely executed moments in such a long and diverse trip?   Why point out the one alleged flaw?

The motive can only be destructive and deceptive.   When you can’t talk about all the victories, you point out the one wart.   I know teenage mean girls with less drama than our Media is demonstrating right now.

A mentor of mine pointed out that where we will be in the next five years will be determined by the books we read, and the people we associate with.  It makes such a difference to your character and integrity–and wisdom and grace.

Don’t let these people tell you they have a responsibility to be critical and to inform you of “all things not perfect.”   They do not.   That is not their responsibility under the First Amendment which guarantees their Freedom.  All such behavior demonstrates is the fact they don’t research; and they don’t prioritize importances in order to give you the most necessary information.

Well, it has been said that a people get the government they deserve.   I think we also get a Press we deserve.   If we reward these ignorant petty people, and let them sit there day after day pompously making fun, and ridiculing, it only encourages bad behavior.

With all my failings, and with all the times I have not evaluated with the grace I should have, my parent’s guidance stuck.   Don’t be “little.” be “big.”  Don’t be “petty,” be “magnanimous.”  And don’t be “pompous.”

And, in the words of a mentor I love and admire, “Don’t major in the minors.”   I’d like to suggest that last week’s media coverage, by some, of the First Lady didn’t even rise to the level of”minor.”   It descended to the level of petty. It was petty and unworthy of our Press who became the beneficiary of the blood shed by my ancestor and his friends to create this country, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights.

Our Media’s Executive Producers are going to have to work hard to rise to the level that they were worth dying for.   A lot of Americans over the centuries have died to make it possible for these little, petty, pompous people to have their “microphone.”   If they say that’s “our job,” tell them to take a long walk off a short pier, smile, and turn away–never to give them access to your precious mind again.

“Now, Lee…” I can hear my mother admonishing.   Well, Mom, this time I had to speak!

Who Works for Whom?

Now I realize it’s been a long time since some of us took our Civics class where we studied our Constitution, and our government.   And for many of you, and those you forward this to as well, you never even had a Civics class.  Apparently some educators felt you didn’t need any education on how to be a citizen of this country.   Sadly, many, who apparently never had Civics classes, have now ended up in government, in one of the three branches of our government.

The key point–overlooked by the DC establishment and the bureaucrats that serve them–is that this is a government of the people, by the people, and for the people.  It was the “Great Experiment” that people could be free and they could form a government and govern themselves.

In that case, we need to remember that everyone in Washington, DC, in all branches of government, in all Departments of the government, and in the State governments as well, works for us!  They may not know this, or choose to ignore it, but we must not.  You are the boss.  They work for you, and it is your money collected through taxes that pays for everything.

You and you alone elect the President and Vice President.   They in turn select their key Secretaries, and then thousands of employees work for them.   But who are they really working for?   You.   You are the Boss of their boss, and if you don’t like the boss you elected, you fire them through the ballot box.  And you even can figure out a way to fire them once they are an entrenched bureaucrat with tenure.

You also are the Boss of your Senators and Congressmen and women.   The only authority they have to do what they do in Washington–or to even go there–is granted to them by you with your vote.   If you do not find them effective, honest, competent, and a great civil servant, you and you alone can fire them.

Please remember this the next time some Washington elitist hack talks down to you as if you were beneath them–too stupid to govern yourself, too stupid to understand the “complexity” of the issues, too consumed with sex and weekend barbeques to be trusted with the affairs of state.   It is that disdainful mindset that has always led to authoritarianism, then to totalitarianism or dictatorship.   Those we “hired” to work for us take on a God Complex and begin to believe they are superior to their constituents, and that we work for them.

Whether they are right or wrong about you, they still work for you.   Never forget this.   Or we will cease to be a free people with a government of the people, by the people, and for the people.  But make sure you are an informed, educated boss who is not flailing around on a stimulus-response emotional roller-coaster driven by the news or social media, like Pavlov’s Dog.

We are better than that.   Our ancestors were counting on that fact when they declared their independence from a dictatorial, mercurial king.   They were counting on that when they risked their lives and fortunes (many to lose both) to be free.   They were counting on that when they created a Constitution to anchor the generations, and provide guidance and stability.

They had many choices, many forms of government that they were considering, and looking at.  The men in that room made a choice–for YOU.   And when they finally came out of the Constitutional Convention to present the Constitution to the people, a man cried out to Benjamin Franklin, “What form of government have you given us?”   His answer, “A Republic–if you can keep it.”

I challenge you to educate your children and grandchildren as to the difference between a Republic and a Democracy.  Democracies fail because they turn into mob rule. Knowing that, and knowing history, the generations ahead of us did keep the Republic.   They built a great nation, and changed the world.  Today’s young generations don’t seem to know or care.   And, if they do not, they will preside over the demise of the “Great Experiment.”   And likely be too “stoned,” or self-obsessed to even know how they will be reviled by History.

Teach them who works for whom.  Teach your government leaders the same.  Keep them in line.  And most of all, we should make sure we are “Bosses” worthy of being submitted to.   Otherwise, the people we hired will overthrow the “Bosses,”  demeaning them and dismissing them, calling them “Deplorables.” Debasing terms like “Racist,” “Bigot,” “Sexist,” “Xenophobe,” “Nazi,” “Misogynist,” “extremist” are Black Propaganda generalities designed to dominate.  They are condescending at best, and overbearing and unjust at the worst.

If we deserve to be the people who elect our government officials, we best be smarter than them, wiser than them, kinder than them, and constantly vigilant.

I want to alert you to the fact that In the months ahead you will be learning about an attempt by a group of highly placed and powerful individuals from within the Washington DC bureaucracy to overthrow our government, and overturn your vote, or the vote of your countrymen.  You will witness indictments, trials, and likely convictions.   It will shock you.

As for me, I ask myself, “What signal did I give to these men and women that made them think they should or could stage a coup and get away with it?  Did I appear disinterested and incompetent?  Did they think I lacked the courage or stamina to face this, and ferret them out, and bring them to justice?”

Perhaps they did think of us that way.   But, I have never forgotten the legacy my ancestor John Adsit left me when he risked everything and signed up with Gen. George Washington.  He fought for himself, and for future generations–which includes me.

I don’t know about you, but I am ready to assert my authority as the “Boss” of these seditious individuals, and I am ready to work to repair the damage, and to make sure we do “keep the Republic.”

How about you?

 

 

Who Is Christopher Wray?

WHO is Christopher Wray?   Yes, he is the FBI Director who replaced James Comey.  He is the top cop in the US.

Unless he has been on vacation for the last two years, he knows that the Steele Dossier was the key reason the FBI sought a warrant from the FISA Court, to spy on an American and the Trump Campaign.   And he must know that the validity of that document has now been debunked, and almost everyone in America knows it was never verified, that it was a political dirty trick paid for by the DNC and Clinton Campaign, etc.

He also knows that his own Inspector General is about to wrap up an investigation into possible FISA abuse by the FBI, in presenting a bogus document to the court where they certified its authenticity.  That warrant led to 2 years of investigations and the Special Counsel.

So, why, about two weeks ago, did he on his own seal a State Department document that establishes the State Department knew Steele was a liar, and warned the FBI–before James Comey signed the affidavit and took it to the judge–that this was suspect, and just political activity? Why did he classify a previously unclassified document–and why was it sealed for 25 years?! And why was it withheld from his own Inspector General?!!!

In 25 years, I will likely be gone.   You may be too.   Your grandchildren may find out what Wray appears to be hiding.   But for now, the timing could not be more suspicious.

And it begs the question, what is he hiding?   Who is he protecting?  And above all, who is Christopher Wray, really?   And who is he working for?

Interlude: Thoughts on “Obstruction”

I am road traveling right now, so this will be brief.   There is something to ponder on I think.   I am not a lawyer, though I was married to an excellent one long ago.   And I remember the study of case law, and discussions about  current cases and how the law applied.

It was always presupposed before one began an investigation or a case that there was some underlying issue that had to be examined.  In the world of “emotions” that we are living in now, no one seems to even stop to ask questions.   They criticize and condemn anything they don’t like, and label it a crime.

This is a nation of laws.  We elect the representatives who create the laws.  And disputes about those laws are handled in the courts.  No one has the right to break a law just because they don’t agree with it, don’t like it, or don’t like someone who is operating under the law.   Totalitarian regimes are like that.   They persecute people for revenge. They randomly and arbitrarily lower the boom on individuals abhorrent to them.

So, here is the ponderable:  How does one “obstruct” an investigation into a non-crime? And, is it dereliction of duty NOT to raise questions about and potentially stop an investigation and harassment of citizens over something that is not a crime?

Long ago, a mentor of mine taught me something that today’s propagandists are deploying brilliantly.   Make right wrong, and wrong right.

Something to think about.   Who is really obstructing?  And what are they obstructing?   Could it be the orderly application of standard Rule of Law, and Due Process?
