May 9, 2020. Somewhere in NYS in Covid 19 lockdown
With so much “news” rattling around in the media, one’s mind becomes cluttered like Sherlock Holme’s attic analogy. Holme’s creator Conan Doyle famously has the world’s most famous detective explain to Dr. Watson how he (Holmes) keeps his mind clear so as to be able to use his extraordinary powers of deductive reasoning methods efficiently .
“You see Watson, a mind is like an attic”, said Holmes. “Clutter it with too much old stuff you are not using, or things that are out of date and very soon you will not even be able to enter that place to find what you might really need.” (Crudely quoted with apologies to “Holmes” and Conan Doyle)
That’s what has happened to all of us in these last six weeks —our mind’s attics are cluttered with junk—politics, fake news, complex science, science heros, “new” cures, virology, fear of being dumb, statistics and wiggly charts we do not understand —so much clutter has been packed in our attics that useless stuff like grandmas’ old oil lamp and that leather bound 24 volume Encyclopedia Brittanica from 1938-your mom asked you to throw out—and you couldn’t do it—are the last entries which are sitting right up to the attic trap door entrance in such as way so no one can even get a finger grip on the edge to get up there and find something really important.
So let’s dump some of that junk and make space for what IS important.
Just yesterday, we learned from news releases that the Justice Department was abandoning the case against General Flynn—new evidence has made clear that an early and thorough examination of Flynn had revealed NO collusion with Russia —but top echelon members of the FBI ignored this exculpatory evidence and continued to interview Flynn in a clear attempt to entrap him leading to him revealing information about incoming President Trump that could be used against him. (They threatened to investigate his son, at that point he finally agreed to plead guilty. ) The second shoe to drop was that Rep Adam Schiff was forced to release the massive testimony from secret hearings of his “House ‘Intelligence’ Committee” that made clear that there was NO evidence of Russian-Trump collusion during the run up to the 2016 election but that Mr. Schiff part of the cabal to destroy the new Administation—continued to lie to the American public about that. Furthermore, it was made apparent that the top echelons of our previous administration —the Obama Administration—were all involved in a plan to help undermine the election of 2016.
Yes all those on the left who were “whining and wingeing” about Russian interference in the 2016 election were in fact those whose were actually actively attempting to abrogate the will of the people as expressed at the polls in 2016 with an “insurance policy” that would undermine the Trump Presidency or set up an inquisition that would lead to impeachment and unseating of a President.
A few elites in the former President’s office and in the FBI and CIA and intelligence bureaus had the temerity and hubris to think that they were “the government” and that they should decide who is to lead this nation. Their Holmsian“attics” were cluttered with so much self serving, politicized junk that our nation’s most cherished and core idea was no longer in the forefront of their thinking —-Our Constitution’s main concept —that it is the PEOPLE who decide in a valid election who is to lead the nation.
These folks —and now there is evidence that even President Obama was aware of what they were doing and may be culpable of the same form of hubris—conspired to take down General Flynn and thereby weaken and debilitate the new administration —and continue on with an “insurance policy” which would ultimately overturn a legitimate election—of the Trump Administration—the choice of the People—-from taking the reins of government and making a successful transition for the benefit of the nation as a whole.
The offense these conspirators committed—Strzok, Paige, Comey, Brennan, Clapper, Yates, etc. etc. etc. were the most egregious crimes against the State short of those actual traitors of history such as Benedict Arnold and Arron Burr—
They attempted to undermine the will of the People. That is our most precious freedom. Whether you voted for Mr. Trump or Ms Clinton in that last election you did so with the confidence that your vote counted and that the Constitution protected your freedoms.
These conspirators were willing to undermine and abrogate your vote.
That is what should not get mixed up in that cluttered attic. It should sit out on your front lawn and become the focus of you daily thought.
