Talking heads are telling us and millions believe that "Donald Trump was convicted of rape!"
But does just sayin’ it make it so?
Did Donald Trump actually commit rape, as his rabid accusers declare? What is the truth of the matter?
We all have a pretty good, graphic and specific idea of what rape is, don’t we? Someone has to do certain things to commit rape as it is defined in law. Rape is a criminal offense. People convicted of rape go to jail, right?
Instead, in a civil not a criminal proceeding, a judge in a heavily Democrat, Trump-hating jurisdiction found Trump “liable” for something else - sexual abuse and defamation of a woman he didn’t even know. These events purportedly happened something like 30 years ago. The purported victim could not tell the court when the purported rape is supposed to have happened - not even the specific year. Nevertheless, the judge found Trump “liable”. My! What a surprise! Trump maintains his innocence and is appealing the judge’s ruling.
We live in The Great Age of Deceit - a time when people, often in the national media with the backing of powerful corporations and government, unhesitatingly declare as facts things that are no facts at all -
“Trump is a rapist! Trump is an insurrectionist! Trump is a traitor! Trump is a threat to democracy! Trump is a thief! Trump is a swindler! Trump is Hitler!”
- and refuse to acknowledge real facts that are unassailable.
Some time ago I posted a piece on how corrupt leftist/Democrats and their toadies in the media deliberately and predictably employ this strategy in attacking their opponents: The Left’s Deceitful War of Words
Indeed, that critical, fundamental problem in our society today - a willful lack of precision, the deliberate, cavalier distortion or denial of truth - or the outright telling of lies - in order to support one's own or one’s group’s preconceived notions and preferred outcomes... utterly without regard to the devastation such lies might cause in the lives of others.
Blowing away all their glittery veneer, their purported elitism, sophistication and condescending, self-styled moral superiority, what sort of people do that? Who are these people who sneer down their noses and call ad hominem names at Donald Trump and his supporters? (MSNBC’S Nocole Wallace recently referred to Trump and his supporters collectively as “a cesspool”.
Some might argue that people who do this are honestly misguided, but I disagree. You cannot behave in this way without being corrupt, without making a choice. This kind of behavior opens a window right down into the human soul - into the intellectual, moral and spiritual stuff people are made of - how they choose to orient themselves to the truth, the real world around them, and how they are prepared to treat their fellow beings.
These people - the drivers of the anti-Trump-anti-MAGA cabal - are in my view willfully corrupt, intellectually, morally, spiritually bankrupt. They simply have priorities other than truth and do not care what havoc their lies might wreak in the lives of their victims. They are deliberate in their malevolence and fit the best definition of evil I’ve yet found: what some people, in pursuit of their own selfish interests, are willing to have other people suffer.
Would you be happy to have someone like that sitting as a judge trying your case in court, or sitting on the jury hearing it? Are you happy to have people like that determining your fate and that of your family? - because right now that is exactly what is happening. It is people just like that who are illegitimately in control of our government and actively working on multiple fronts - the borders, the economy, energy, the military, the war in Ukraine, our sworn enemy China, our Judeo/Christian culture - to burn it all to the ground so they can rebuild it in the image of their grand, woke, Godless, elitist delusion.
And they are overwhelmingly arrogant. Rising up in the great fireball of their self-deceived megalomania, they truly do believe they are a higher order of enlightened being, morally superior to the rest of us, vastly more intelligent - and thus free from any traditional intellectual, moral or spiritual - or legal - constraints - any outmoded ideas of right and wrong, good and evil - as they, above the law, pursue their grand and noble vision for mankind, their Godless Utopia. For them, there is no absolute truth they must bow to, no reality but theirs. Any alternative view must be crushed. There are no bounds, all things are possible, and the glorious ends they seek justify any means necessary to achieve them - any means. They share the same mindset as history’s catalog of genocidal tyrants:
These are the kind of people who have martialed themselves and all the resources of the government they illegitimately control to destroy Donald Trump and his supporters - the people who constitute the only significant political threat to their ambitions.
Am I overwrought on this issue? Am I imagining up a threat that does not exist? I think not. I think anyone with a few firing synapses can see it. We are drowning in an officially promulgated miasma of deceit. Deceit never serves the interests of what is good, only what is evil. Lies and distortions of truth - always and forever the methodology of aspiring tyrants - are never harmless. They inevitably cause suffering.
God, interested in our individual and collective wellbeing, knew what he was doing when he commanded that we not lie, not bear false witness against one another. The baleful waves of injustice and injury ripple out from a lie like a stone thrown into a quiet pond and they cannot be recovered. Whatever the outcome of his appeals, the Democrats' obtuse useful-idiot base, intellectually, morally and spiritually ill-equipped to get at the truth, will go to their graves believing Donald Trump is a rapist.
Jesus said, “You shall know the truth, and the truth will make you free.” Or, alternatively, in the absence of truth, there is no freedom. One can imagine a sliding scale, with perfect truth and absolute freedom on one end, and the complete absence of truth and absolute tyranny on the other. The more truth we have and know, the freer we are, and vice versa. In which direction on that scale are we moving? You tell me.
When we see, as we do today, a rich and powerful illegitimate government/elitist cabal actively working to perpetrate lies and suppress the truth, we had better wake up to our dire circumstances and understand that these people do not wish us well. They have no regard for and view with contempt the Judeo/Christian values and principles of individual human liberty this country was founded upon. Their lies and deceit indeed are targeted at our God-given liberties. What is hostile to the truth is not a friend to freedom - and you can quickly figure out what and who is hostile to the truth by applying my little maxim:
“The credible of WHAT you see argued is directly a function of HOW it is argued.
“Find the truth in the methodology of argument. The truth cuts its own way and can be argued for in an honest, open, fair-minded manner that does not insult the intelligence of those it seeks to persuade. Deceit cannot be so argued.”
Those who spew unfounded calumny and slander against those who disagree with them, those who seek to hide information, bury the facts and obstruct the honest pursuit of truth, are, by their methodology, instantly recognizable for the liars they are.
As I have noted before, this is not an abstract problem but one personal to those who employ this strategy - lies and deceit - to achieve their own ends. That's where its starts - with people who have priorities other than truth. Getting down to the nub of it, calling a spade a spade, this behavior, however banal and outwardly garbed in respectability, is simply evil.
Bad enough a problem when individuals do it, where only a few people may be injured by a lie, but deadly to a society when it becomes a "mass formation" - like the mindless and virtually unanimous support for the fanatic Adolf Hitler -
- and the hatred and demonization of the Jews in Nazi Germany. In that instance, quite apart from the devastation wrought upon the innocent Jews and millions of other innocents, the end result was the utter destruction of Germany. Nothing new under the sun. As others have observed, if we fail to learn from history, we are doomed to repeat it.
Mao and his Cultural Revolution provide another example of the same kind of mass formation. He and his fanatical Red Guards were responsible for the deaths of something like 70 million Chinese.
Accordingly, if we allow to continue to grow the intellectually, morally and spiritually corrupt mass formation currently being engineered and implemented in America by the lawless, Trump-hating, America-hating liberal/elitist Democrat left - a mass psychosis we see taking root in the irrational mindsets of Trump-haters/MAGA haters all around us - we are setting ourselves up for the same fate. As history attests, among people in the vice-like grip of a fanatical mass formation, decency, reason and basic humanity are out the window and all things become possible - even this:
But hey! If you want to make an omelet you've got to break some eggs! What’re a few lies - or many - a bit of deceit - or a mountain of it - in such a good and noble cause - the grand and permanent ascension to power of those who know best - our self-appointed betters, people certain they are better and smarter than you and me, smarter than any number of free men, smarter than the Constitution, smarter than all of history, smarter even than God himself (whose existence they deny), and naturally entitled to take total control of our lives and resources, dictate the smallest details of our lives - what we can think, say and write, when and how we can spend our money (see the looming “digital currency”), what we can buy or own and when, where we can go, the cars we can drive, the lightbulbs we can use, the food we can eat and the stoves we can use to cook it, what we must inject into our bodies, what can be taught to our children, even our very genders, male and female, must be considered fluid by their enlightened diktat - all of this whether we like it or not - all for our own good, of course - all in the transcendent cause of the rise of their Godless globalist liberal wokism.
The hubris of these illegitimi knows no bounds. As the World Economic Forum’s Klaus Schwab declared to a roomful of unelected egomaniacs - many of our wealthy and powerful American countrymen among them - who intend to take dictatorial control over our lives - again, by any means necessary:
“The future is not just happening. The future is built by us, by a powerful community such as you here in this room.”
I make no apology for being deeply, profoundly offended by arrogant, tyrannical people who embrace this intellectually, morally and spiritually corrupt mindset and pattern of behavior, callously trampling on the truth and our God-given rights whenever it suits their purpose. They are liars, evil-doers, subversives and traitors, a deadly fifth column among us. They deserve no respect and will get none from me. They must be called out, named for what they really are and understood for the deadly threat they pose to our free country. They will be the end of us if we do not stop them.
The future of America depends on decent patriotic people waking up and confronting this treasonous evil.
