The American populace is being treating like it is mostly made up of idiots, and the sad truth is the strategy seems to be both appropriate and working.
Attorney General William Barr has joined those who would treat the masses like mushrooms – keep them in the dark and shovel manure on them – saying in an interview today (Dec. 1, 2020) there was not evidence of voting fraud “on a scale that could have effected a different outcome in the election.”
We were being pelted with a snowstorm that already had accumulated 6-7 inches when I first read this, but Mother Nature’s best efforts paled in comparison to this Barr snow job.
Only yesterday I was wondering aloud whatever happened to Barr and his Russiagate investigator John Durham? Today we got a reappearance of Barr, and bonus news that he’d elevated Durham’s charge back in October to make sure that investigation would survive an administration change.
But while Barr is willing to come out half-cocked after his Justice Department ostensibly had spent a few days investigating claims of voting irregularities, Durham is about a year and a half into his investigation that began in May 2019 and has announced NOTHING.
Maybe in another 500 or so more days Durham might have some sort of vague rough draft of how the FBI and Democrats and leftist bureaucrats could have conspired and fudged some things to get the fire lit under President Trump designed to produce Roast A La Impeachment.
As for Barr, how does one determine how much fraud there was without a thorough investigation, not just a few days of superficial dog and pony show? Even as Barr was giving his interview, whistleblowers were testifying in Michigan to wrongdoing they had seen personally.
One woman testified of speaking with the FBI to share this information, being cut off, dialing back, and never again being contacted by that agency. So, if the FBI gets a report of an alleged crime and ignores it, there was no crime committed, right?
These first-hand accounts of election misdeeds keep rolling in, be they from U.S. Mail contractors trucking completed mail-in ballots from New York to Pennsylvania, or local election officials arbitrarily crediting incomplete or fouled ballots to Joe Biden, or any number of other various questionable election occurrences these whistleblowers have charged in formal fashion.
Barr ignores the statistical analysis by renowned mathematicians that what happened in terms of vote counting for Biden in this election stretches the bounds of probability and also dismisses questions about the integrity of the electronic voting machines.
Barr ought to get out and about more than once every 40 days if he wants to have a true handle on the state of this republic, which rapidly is descending into banana republic status – the metaphor for political instability, not the brand name of the women’s clothing line.
Likely you remember that when the goal was to impeach President Trump we were told whistleblowers were to be believed without exception and treated like heroes, if not royalty.
Now that citizens are blowing the whistle on what they view as election theft, they are to be at best marginalized or, at worst, threatened into silence and/or ignored.
Through it all, the populace is being subjected to mind-bending verbiage. Communications about election fraud are tagged as unverified. Stories from the left-wing lapdog media outlets always characterize the allegations of fraud as unfounded.
And even when a tiny bit of electoral fraud is conceded, we are told it was “not massive” or was “insufficient to have changed the outcome.”
How do those making such pronouncements know that?
Quick answer: They don’t.
But it’s the way they want it to be and emboldened by those on both sides of the political aisle being willing to look the other way regarding this bit of unpleasantness, the media continue to disparage the whistleblowers and deny out of hand that their charges could be true when they assert that this election was stolen as surely as if those doing the counting had been wearing masks – for purposes of obscuring identity, not satisfying the COVID-19 facemask Nazis.
The media is employing the same semantic playbook it used to describe fiery, violent, destructive left-wing protests this year as “Mostly peaceful.”
Any election fraud was insignificant they continue to assure us, just before turning out the lights and reaching for their manure shovels.
