KUSHNER:NO SCANDAL, NO CRIME, NO STORY,

FAKE NEWS: JARED KUSHNER "SCANDAL"

NO SCANDAL, NO CRIME, NO STORY

TYRANNY FROM WITHIN: MEDIA ATTEMPTS TO UNDERMINE THE POWER OF THE BALLOT BOX


Today, President Trump returns to the Oval Office after what was a very successful foreign trip.  On this date in the editorial offices of the Washington Post and the New York Times so called "journalists" are  sharpening their knives  and oiling their typewriters in the expectation of creatively knitting together more unconnected and innocent facts, gossip, and innuendo, into blaring sensational headlines about Jared Kushner, the President's son-in-law.  These so called editors and journalists have taken up the practices and joined the ranks of the supermarket tabloids like the compact and colorful papers whose gossipy headline grab our attention while we wait on a supermarket line--the National Enquirer, National Examiner.  But unlike these "gossip and astrology rags" which have no other motive but to entertain, titilate and sell more papers, the establishment "broad sheets" our so-called "real newspapers" are not just looking to increase readership, they are motivated by a dangerous political agenda--to delegitimize and undermine  our democratically elected President Trump.  These are actions which can hurt us all, and undermine the very footings of our democracy.  It is a tyranny from within.

What these misguided journalists fail to understand is that the  Founders of this democracy were driven to enshrine in our Constitution the principle that the POWER TO GOVERN LIES WITH THE PEOPLE; notwith burnt out, left-over politicians, or hangers-on from the last administration; not with the secret agents of the spy networks who seem to work for themselves; not the establishment wonks of the past, not the hierarchy of the political parties--or the secretive "deep state".   The power of government is derived only from  the ballot box and the people's choice.  Mr. Trump has been chosen.  He wields the scepter of the people and is in power now.  If you do not like his policies, elect someone else. But these hubristic individuals of the media--who seem to think they know better or have the right to ignore the will of 63 million voting Americans---they act to undermine the Constitution that protects us all from tyranny. They promote a  tyranny from within, from the deep state, the establishment, and the media which propagandize for it. This danger from within is as dangerous, or more so than the tyrants we fear from beyond our shores.

So let us examine what these "tabloid, gossip mongers", titilators and purveyors of false news are trying to sell us as the try to undermine our government.  Their headlines blare out that Jared Kushner was attempting to establish a "back channel" to the Russians. That sounds sinister does it not?  Well all Presidents have "back channels".  President Obama certainly had a back channel to the Iranians to execute the infamous Iranian deal and arrange how to send all that cash.  He had one with the North Koreans too. President Reagan had back channels to the Soviets.   Mr. Kushner's job as a member of the President-elect's team during the transition was to establish communications with foreign leaders.  It was perfectly justified, natural, and essential  for him to be speaking to many foreign leaders on behalf of the President.  No illegality here.  No laws broken.  No story.  Furthermore, President Trump made it clear he was interested in re establishing better relations with the Russians, prior to the election.  This was one of the "planks" he campaigned on.  He, unlike many others who occupied his office seems to take these promises seriously.  The people who voted for him were aware of his intentions. There is no crime here.  That Mr. Kushner was attempting to establish a "back channel" with the Russians is perfectly logical, and legitimate.

However, here is how this "fake news" Jared Kushner story arose. When the old Obama government--was being replaced with a new Trump government--those who still held remnants of power chose to try to undermine the manifest choice of the people.

The policy of making an opening to the Russians to improver relations (after the Clinton-Obama debacle) was certainly not one of the Obama administration's goals.  The hold-over spy chiefs, Obama's on-the-way-out department heads and the establishment types of both parties were opposed to and did not agree with these new policies. These "hold over" members of government  and the deep state, illegally used the power of the state to spy on the Trump transition team, and then conspired to undermine policies THEY DISAGREED WITH.  But they had no right to act on these disagreements because the people  had spoken.  Mr. Obama and his protege candidate Hillary Clinton and their policies were rejected in the last election.  After the election, power had passed to the Trump team.  But these hold-over officials ignored the dictates of democracy and the Constitution.  Then compounding one broken law with another they ILLEGALLY LEAKED THIS  INFORMATION TO THE PRESS.  The act of illicit  spying on Americans and leaking secret information, are and remain the ONLY ILLEGALITIES IN THIS STORY.

The people have spoken. Let us get on with governing. Stop the self flagellation bloodletting, and self mutilation. We are one people, one nation. We must begin to heal and work together..or we all fall together.
