Friends, today you might want to ponder two very interesting polls by Rasmussen Reports. One asks likely voters whether, in the aftermath of the FBI's Mar-a-Lago raid, Biden is now treating G-Men as his "personal Gestapo". 53% agree! That's extraordinary. Depending on how you look at it, this means most Americans equate the FBI with Nazi Germany's secret police, OR they equate Biden himself with Hitler and/or Himmler. Either way, you'd have to conclude that a) the American people are deeply cynical and pessimistic about the state of the nation, and b) they are profoundly ignorant of the reality of fascism and totalitarian rule. On the other hand, slightly more Americans have a positive view of the FBI, overall, than have a negative view. Figure that one out! I sure can't.
In other Rasmussen Reports-related news, Republicans have expanded their lead over Democrats on the generic ballot question, which, if you're keeping track, is precisely the OPPOSITE of what has happened in several MSM polls. In other words, who's got the edge heading into November? Pick your pollster carefully, and you'll get whatever answer to that question you desire. That makes prognosticating more difficult than ever, although the average of polls, and the oddsmakers, agree that it's unlikely that the Dems can hold both houses.
Dr.Waddy from Jack: It is reasonable to see in the FBI a politically compromised agency with the potential for incipiently increasing value and service to the far left in realizing its goal of a totaltarian dictator -ship in the US. But to compare it now to the murderously sociopathic Nazi secret police is yet hyperbolic and may tend to discredit our present very legitimate concerns about uses to which our far left factotum President might put our FBI!.
ReplyDeleteDr.Waddy from Jack:The really serious election season is almost.
ReplyDeletehere. Especially in those states where our Senate candidates appear to be behind we must relentlessly urge the national importance of each Senatorial race.Turn the dems' presumption of the moral high ground on abortion against them by emphasizing that a dem senate capable of empowering Supreme Court justices would mean death for millions of innocent unborn humans. Vindictive abortion celebrating dems,eager to make up for lost time but presently democratically denied the power to legislate a Roe v. Wade on steroids(an intent they have already demonstrated in Congress since Roe v.Wade was struck down), would hasten to have their old buddy, Scotus, once again force detested abortion generating measures on the real America. Deny them that chance! Vote against all dems!
Jack, I hesitate to condemn the FBI as a whole too. You're right: it is "compromised", but how much of it? The "counter-intelligence unit" has been almost solely responsible for giving respectability and plausibility to a long litany of anti-Trump delusions...but is the vast majority of the FBI going about its business with professionalism and patriotism? Perhaps. It's encouraging that so many whistleblowers are coming forward. One also wonders if, should we win back the White House, there's a nucleus of "right-wing" FBI agents who could be similarly deployed to drag the Dems through the mud (for a change)...
ReplyDeleteDr. Waddy from Jack: It is difficult to imagine many leftists seeking FBI careers. Still, in order to have any effect on policy they must advance and that means getting with the program. And the "program" is enforced by higher powers with already much painful investment in their careers. Perhaps if reform minded empowered GOP resolve to disable the compromised element in the FBI is seriously sought, it will find its strongest support among new agents IF they receive support from outside the agency. FBI training is very rigorous and its graduates would not want to waste it in a futile cause. I cannot believe that many rank and file in theFBI are disingenuous radicals just biding their time until the FBI becomes the KGB in some perhaps foreseeable future.
ReplyDeleteI agree Jack. Those who seek to join the highest cadre of the "law enforcement" community don't strike me as a left-leaning class.
DeleteSo how does our current state of affairs evolve? Are certain leadership positions granted only to those with leftist ideals who promote accordingly?
Are there actually enough FBI recruits who supposedly desire to uphold the rule of law, but actually desire to do just the opposite?
How does the FBI fill ranks with those who don't have the backbone to stand up for the mission of the FBI ?(uphold the Constitution and protect the American people)
How does this happen?
Richie from Jack:Here's my take; far too much(not all) of my incalculably naive and ungrateful baby boom generation was disgraced by the radicals i t allowed to flimflam us in the mid sixties on. And there were so damned many of us (I was born in '47) that we had a terribly inordinate and destructive influence on the American polity. It continues to today and is the reason radical leftists have counter intuitively achieved the highest offices in America and the states. That would have been inconceivable prior to the advent of the radical faction of the boomers!
ReplyDeleteRichie from Jack: In my experience (includng 20 years working with in tensive close contact with criminals) I believe that in law enforcement, an understandably and appropriately quasi military institution, the following obtains: deference to the attitudes and command of superiors is expected and in the breach is first patronized and then attacked. At the highest levels, the military commanders in law enforcement must often obey the orders of far left civilians some of whom delight in counterintuitive directives to enact apology to criminals, which law enforcement knows to be WRONG! But the highest law enforcement military are loath to give up their very hard won careers. The power to enforce the defeat of criminal apologists MUST come from the highest civilian levels and, with such support, from those in the lower ranks willing thereby to enforce their law abiding convictions, including rejection of leftist antiAmericanism! I cannot believe the culture of the FBI can countenance the American far left!
ReplyDeleteRichie fro Jack
ReplyDeleteRichie from Jack: How many loyal Americans were inducted into the FBI in the America hating Obama days and now?! Can we know? How many more manifest such conviction now in the far leftist Biden mob? We stand to find out!
ReplyDeleteJack and Richie: you ask all the most pertinent questions! How can a law enforcement agency fall into the arms of a movement that denigrates the law, the Constitution, and all concepts of fair play? I suspect Jack has discovered the most compelling answer: it can't, and the rank and file are probably oftened disgusted by the actions of their superiors and the leftist cadre that runs "counter-intelligence", BUT civilians/politicians are in a perfect position to elevate bureaucratic and lawyerly (far leftist) types to the top ranks of the FBI regardless of the legitimacy they possess in the eyes of their underlings. Man, that might have been the most egregious run-on sentence I've written in my life, but you get the idea. A conservative lawyer of my acquaintance tells me that Comey, McCabe, Wray, et al. didn't rise through the ranks so much as they were imposed on the FBI by outside political forces. If she says it, I imagine it's true...and therefore if ever we should attempt a purification of the organization I would imagine a huge percentage of serving agents would greatly appreciate the spring cleaning. Only one way to find out... I hasten to add, however, that arresting the leftward tilt of ANY Washington-based federal agency is immensely difficult, and essentially no effort to do so has ever borne fruit before. Four more years of Trump, followed by eight years of DeSantis, might do the trick.
ReplyDeleteDr Waddy from a Jack: : "Darest thou make pale our cheek with thine frozen admonitions "to the effect that you have surpassed my unquestioned skill in the production of run on sentences!?
ReplyDeleteDr.Waddy from Jack: as a somewhat informed veteran I perceived creditable change in the VA when President Trump became its Commanding Officer. I would guess a reelected President Trump would, for temporal reason's ,have much less justification for compromising with the swamp. No wonder they fear him so!! Real America: we have in 2022 and 2024 a therefore perhaps once in a lifetime chance to destroy the America hating "american" left!! We CAN do it!!
ReplyDeleteations
o defer to compromised far leftistdd
Dr .Waddy from Jack: I meant above: "perhaps President Trump would NEED far less justification . . . . "After all, many months of unlimited, blatantly demonstrated far left intent cannot but motivate any of common sense to be convinced that the "american" left thinks victory at hand, yes!! They have abandoned most restraint in expressing this with ACTION!! Good! Let their fall in Nov. be ever the much so enervating and discouraging. Their incipient totalitarianism is out in the open now,for all who have eyes to see!!
ReplyDeleteJack, the slight irony here is that a Republican victory in November probably makes a Trump victory in 2024 that much LESS likely, because then the Dems can run against a "do-nothing"/"fascist" GOP Congress. Be that as it may, I'll take the risk!
