If one can break free from the hypnosis of polarizing, partisan propaganda TV shows, the question should be asked: “Isn’t it a bit hypocritical for the GOP to accuse The Biden Crime Family of treason for receiving tens of millions of dollars in exchange for political favors that alter the state of affairs for the nation?
It’s how every politican gets elected. It’s how they stay elected. It’s how they get filthy rich while elected.
I remember an article published circa 1990 by a long-forgotten source that China was buying favor with congressmen by contributing millions through their children. Obviously nothing was investigated thirty years ago just as there is simply Potemkin posturing by the Republican moot majority today.
Up until 2000 when the Democrats so publicly and physically attempted to steal the election for Gore by taking ballot boxes into locked rooms of Miami polling offices, voters could more easily change administrations with their ballots. But lately, we’ve re-elected the same politicians so many times they’ve come to see themselves as the “more equal animals” than the ones who elected them. They’ve convinced themselves they occupy their seats as a Divine Right from God and the ignorant masses are better off with superior intellects – like themselves -ruling their lives. They’ve become the Entrenched Power – and we dug the trench for them.
The Democrat Party long ago sold out to the Marxist agenda – simply a stepping stone on the Left path to a One World.
“Today in America there is only one political Party – the Banker’s Party.” – Charles E. Coughlin, Money Changers in the Temple, June 19, 1936; Annals of America
The Republican Party’s Right path to One World began when they sold out to the National Chamber of Commerce supporting the bill President Ronald Reagan signed into law -the Immigration Reform Act that turned the immigration quota qualifications upside down. Every social scientist who testified before the congressional committee said “If you do this you will ruin the economy and the national character of the United States.” Reagan, in hindsight, said it was the worst mistake of his presidency.
But many years prior to that the most prominent industrialists of the Republican Party solicited retired Commandant of the Marine Corps Smedley D. Butler to lead a military coup against the administration of President Franklin D. Roosevelt (see: War Is a Racket, 1935).
The same industrialists of the Republican Party financed Hitler’s rise to power in the early 1930s. They financed Hitler’s armament build up and his industrial base (ball bearing factories, etc.) during the war. They provided the critical chemical for aviation fuel to the Nazis that enabled the Luftwaffe to conduct The Blitz against our British allies. They profited from the war until 1949 when they recovered “damages” from the U.S. government for their destroyed German factories. (see: Trading with the Enemy: The Nazi-American Money Plot, 1933-1949 by Charles Higham, March 27, 2007).
What do you call someone who capitulates to the military-industrial complex and initiates two, foredoomed, twenty-year wars that cost the best of our nation’s youth? Thank you, George Bush, Jr. – a Republican.
“The organized money power from its’ secret enclave have dictated the choice of your highest officers and compelled you to make peace and war as best suited their own wishes. The form of your government may remain, but its’ living spirit has departed from it.” – President Andrew Jackson, Farewell Address, March 4, 1837; Annals of America Vol. 6, p. 299
““There are two definitions of treason, one is that contained in the Constitution. That is, levying war against the United States or giving aid and comfort to its enemies. The other is to give up or betray, betraying of any trust or confidence; perfidy or breach of faith.” – Brigadier General Billy Mitchell, October 28, 1925
So, Treason, is not solely a Democrat Party crime by any means.
“The United States is owned and operated today by a hierarchy of sixty of the richest families buttressed by no more than ninety families of lesser wealth. Outside this plutocratic circle there are perhaps three hundred and fifty other families less defined of the inner circle.” – Ferdinand Lundberg, The American Plutocracy: America’s 60 Families, New York, 1937; Annals of America
One of the last Statesmen we had in congress was Senator William Proxmire (D) Wisconsin. He was elected in a special election to replace Joseph R. McCarthy. “Averse to wasteful spending, Proxmire wrote three books on the subject and presented a monthly “Golden Fleece Award” to the “biggest, most ridiculous or most ironic example of government spending.” Over a period of 20 years, he did not miss a single roll-call vote, casting 10,252 consecutive votes before leaving the Senate in 1989.” (Wikipedia) The Golden Fleece Award was given to both sides of the aisle.
“Giant capitalism has concentrated the control of economic power in a small proportion of the American people. It has transcended political boundaries making the federal government incapable of independent governance. It has made the federal government a parasite to extreme capitalism.” – Harold J. Laski, The Obsolescence of Federalism, New Republic, May, 1939; Annals of America (see also: David A. Stockman’s The Great Deformation: The Corruption of Capitalism in America, April 2, 2013)
One may argue there is a difference between American lobbyists lining the pockets of politicians for favors benefitting them. It reminds me of a conversation Ben Franklin had with a French socialite: “Madam would you sleep with me for a thousand francs?” “Why, Mr. Franklin, I ‘m sure an arrangement could be made.” she blushed. “Would you sleep with me for ten francs?” asked Ben. “Why Mr. Franklin! What do you think I am? A whore?” she retorted. “Madame,” said Ben, “that has already been decided. What we’re discussing now is price.”
