THIS PAST ARTICLE TAKES ON MORE SIGNIFICANCE: THE 2016 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION: LETTING THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN, AND THE RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT, OFF THE HOOK.

 The Special Counsel defined "coordination" as an "agreement-tacit or express-between the Trump Campaign and the Russian government on election interference."

IF THIS IS THE ONLY DEFINITION USED, THE SPECIAL COUNSELS REPORT CLEARS UP NOTHING AND OPENS
UP SOME DISTURBING POSSIBILITIES.

HOW SO?

IF WE ACCEPT THAT THE ABOVE DEFINITION IS THE 
SOLE MEASUREMENT FOR PROSECUTION, IT LEAVES US WITH  THE FOLLOWING POSSIBLE SCENARIOS:

SCENARIO #1- A RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT OPERATIVE ENLISTS A TRUMP CAMPAIGN WORKER WITH A PLAN TO AID DONALD TRUMP, BY GATHERING AND DISTRIBUTING INFORMATION THAT IS ANECDOTAL IN NATURE, AND FULL OF INNUENDO AND UNSUBSTANTIATED INFORMATION.

SCENARIO #2- A TRUMP ELECTION OFFICIAL APPROACHES A RUSSIAN NATIONAL,WHO CONDUCTS BUSINESS IN THE U.S. THE REASON? HE ASKS THE BUSINESSMAN IF HE COULD OBTAIN "SPECIAL INFORMATION" THAT WOULD AID DONALD TRUMP IN WINNING THE 2016 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.

THESE ARE EXAMPLES, NOT ACCUSATIONS. THE POINT IS THIS: IF SCENARIOS LIKE THIS, OR OTHER SIMILAR ONES DID OCCUR, NO LEGAL ACTION WOULD BE TAKEN BY THE SPECIAL COUNSEL. WHY? BECAUSE IN NEITHER CASE WAS THE DEFINITION OF PROSECUTORIAL CONDUCT MET.

REMEMBER, IN THE ABOVE DEFINITION, THE "TRUMP CAMPAIGN," AND THE "RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT" HAD TO
BOTH BE INVOLVED, NOT JUST ONE. THE EXAMPLES OF A TRUMP CAMPAIGN WORKER, OR A RUSSIAN BUSINESSMAN,
SHOW US THAT "COLLUSION," OR "ELECTION INTERFERENCE" COULD OCCUR. HOWEVER, THE CONCLUSION OF THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN BEING INNOCENT OF SUCH ACCUSATIONS, AS THE SUMMARY LETTER IMPLIES, WOULD BE VALID, EVEN IF CRIMINAL ACTS WERE PRESENT IN BOTH SCENARIOS.

THE CONCLUSION IS SIMPLY THIS: THE DEFINITION USED BY THE MUELLER COMMITTEE IS SO NARROW, WHEN REFERRING TO "COORDINATION" TO VIOLATE ELECTION LAW(S), THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN, THE RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT, AND JUST ABOUT ANYONE ELSE COULD HAVE COMMITTED ACTS OF "CONSPIRACY" OR "ELECTION INTERFERENCE", BUT WOULD NOT BE CHARGED UNLESS THERE WAS A FORMAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE TWO. 

THIS DOES NOT EXCLUDE AGENTS OF ONE, OR BOTH, ACTING INDEPENDENTLY WITHOUT THE "OFFICIAL " APPROVAL OF THE LEADESHIP. IN FACT, AGENTS OF ONE OR BOTH COULD HAVE BEEN "ENCOURAGED" TO ACT IN A CERTAIN MANNER TO BENEFIT THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN, BUT WITHOUT AN ACKNOWLEDGED AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE "OFFICIAL LEADERSHIP," NO ONE COULD BE CHARGED CRIMINALLY. THIS EXTREMELY NARROW DEFINITION ESSENTIALLY MADE "CONSPIRACY", "COORDINATION", OR "ELECTION INTERFERENCE" PERFECTLY LEGAL.

BLAST FROM THE PAST: HUMILIATION TELEVISION; REALITY TV AND "JUSTICE FOR ALL."

 

 When you are watching Reality Television that is filmed in a courtroom setting, remember one thing;  In no way, shape or form is this a legitimate and true to life depiction of civil proceedings that are part of the U.S. Legal System.

To begin with, the presiding individual has no legal authority, they are playing the role of judge.

( Yes, they may have been a legitimate court official in the past, but not in this setting.)  Many times their manner, vocabulary and rulings are so outrageous, that if it had been done while sitting on the bench, it could have been grounds for censure or removal from office.  Their tough love search for truth is a sham, that often borders on the ludicrous.  Dialogue that includes name calling, ridicule and personal insults puts this make believe setting on the same intellectual level as a grade school playground. 

Oh, by the way, the Bailiffs are also fake.  No real authority, just window dressing. (Although, in the past, they may have held such a position in an official capacity.)

The cases are researched by staffers, and include suggestions sent in by viewers who may be involved in an actual civil case currently pending.

Here are a few more things that differentiate Reality Court T.V., from an actual court of law;

-  The Plaintiff and Defendant must sign an ARBITRATION AGREEMENT. This binds them both to accept the judgment, and to not litigate it further. ( Except in the rare case where it is DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE.)   

-  Both sides are usually paid an appearance fee.  In addition,  travel expenses are paid, and a daily stipend may be given to both sides.

-  Any judgments are paid from a fund set up by the producers, not from either party involved in the lawsuit. 

-  There have been accusations of contrived and scripted cases, that were either partially or totally made up fiction.  Care to guess what would happen if this was attempted in a true court of law, where both sides are trying to DEFRAUD THE COURT?  In the U.S. it is called a FELONY.

In the end, Reality Courtroom Television is just another example of  mind numbing and tasteless programming, from a genre that constantly looks for new ideas to pollute the airways.  All in the name of entertainment.

TRUMP, MAGATS, FASCISM AND TERRORISM. PART 1.

 "DON'T IT ALWAYS SEEM TO GO, THAT YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU GOT 'TIL IT'S GONE."

FROM THE SONG "BIG YELLOW TAXI."

FASCISM - FORM OF GOVERNMENT IN WHICH ALL POWER, POLITICAL ,LEGAL, SOCIAL RESTS WITH ONE PERSON AND/OR A SELECT FEW.

DICTATOR- ALL POWER RESTS WITH ONE PERSON.

JUNTA OR RULING COUNCIL- POWER RESTS WITH A FEW, HALF-DOZEN OR SO.

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS CIVIL RIGHTS. LAW ENFORCEMENT AT ALL LEVELS IS CONTROLLED BY ONE SOURCE.

THE MILITARY PLEDGES ALLEGIANCE TO THE RULER(S).

RELIGIOUS FREEDOM IS ALLOWED ONLY AS FAR AS PERMITTED, DEPENDING ON HOW IT SERVES THE PURPOSE OF THE RULING GOVERNMENT.

COURTS ARE ADMINISTERED BY SELECTED JUDICIAL FLUNKIES, WHO KNOW THAT THEIR DECISIONS MUST BE AGREEABLE TO THE FASCIST LEADERSHIP, OR THEY ARE OUT.

THERE CAN BE ELECTIONS, WHERE ALL CANDIDATES ARE CAREFULLY SELECTED BY THE DESPOTS IN POWER. THERE IS NO PARTY SYSTEM ALLOWED. NO REAL OPPOSITION.

EVEN IF SOME FORM OF ELECTION(S) IS ALLOWED, THE RESULTS MUST BE AGREEABLE TO THE POWERS THAT BE, OR THEY ARE VOIDED. 

THE NEWS MEDIA IS NOTHING MORE THAN A SYSTEM OF PAID PROPAGANDISTS, NO OPPOSITION IS PERMITTED.

MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL- THE LEADERSHIP IS ACCOUNTABLE TO NO ONE. SINCE THEY ARE THE SOURCE OF ALL LAW, THEY CAN NOT AND WILL NOT BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR ANY ACTIONS THEY UNDERTAKE. 

MAGATS AND TRUMPIANS- ONE IN THE SAME. INDIVIDUALS WHO PLACE THEIR LOYALTY TO DONALD TRUMP ABOVE ALL OTHER POLITICAL, LEGAL, AND SOCIAL OBLIGATIONS.

BY DEFINITION: THEY MAY SAY THEY ARE AMERICANS, BUT THAT DEFINITION IS DEFINED BY DONALD TRUMP, NOT THE U.S. CONSTITUTION.

DONALD TRUMP IS THE FINAL JUDGE ON ALL THINGS- CRIMINAL ACTS, ELECTION LAW, THE COURT SYSTEM, ALL FORMS OF THE MEDIA. etc.

IN FACT, GIVE ANY EXAMPLE OF A BEHAVIOR THAT HE HAS ENGAGED IN, THAT YOU CONSIDER TO HAVE BEEN DISAPPROVED OF BY A MEASURABLE % OF MAGATS OR TRUMPIANS. (NOT EVEN A MAJORITY, BUT A LARGE ENOUGH GROUP THAT COULD BE IDENTIFIED AND RELIED UPON TO MAINTAIN THAT OPINION)

TERRORISM-  THE USE OF VIOLENCE, OR THREAT OF SUCH, TO ADVANCE THE DOCTRINE, IDEOLOGY, RULES, OR GOALS OF A GIVEN AND IDENTIFIABLE GROUP THAT IS NOT GENERALLY REGARDED AS A LEGITIMATE POLITICAL ENTITY, OR THE RECOGNIZED LEGAL AUTHORITY FOR A RESIDENT POPULATION OR GEOGRAPHICAL AREA.

NO, I DO NOT CONSIDER MAGATS OR TRUMPIANS A LEGITIMATE POLITICAL GROUP. THEIR ACTIONS AND GOALS PLACE THEM AS ADHERENTS TO A WANNABE ALL-POWERFUL DICTATOR- DONALD TRUMP.

REMEMBERING MARTIN LUTHER KING DAY: IT'S ALL IN THE WORDS.

 IN HONOR OF THIS DAY, I REPRINT THIS ANNUALLY.

IT'S ALSO FOR THE MEMORY OF DOCTOR RON BARNETTE.

RIP DOC.

FIRST THE END OF THE MLK SPEECH:

...And when this happens, and when we allow freedom ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children, Black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual: Free at last. Free at last. Thank God almighty, we are free at last.
