In predicting how the various players of he Deep State will perform, it is helpful to know what PATTERNS of behavior can be expected from them. It took me years of studying Barack Obama to go from “Obama hopeful” to “Obama needsta” to “WTF, Obama!” to “Obama’s not actually gonna – is he?” to “I’ll bet Obama will” to – at long last – to “Obama WILL do this – just WATCH“.
Robert Mueller has been an enigma to me. At one time, I thought he might even be a white hat – an honest guy – maybe even Trump’s salvation.
I wasn’t the only one. A lot of us thought that. Let’s be honest.
That “charm” of looking white hat is indeed a Mueller “super-power”.
Eventually, however, when I was confronted with the fact that Mueller had made multiple “conveniently bad” prosecutions, it dawned on me that something was terribly wrong.
Finally, when it became clear that Mueller and Comey were INSTRUMENTAL in making sure that Osama bin Laden did NOT get blamed for the Khobars Tower attack, THAT is when I really knew something was DEFINITELY WRONG.
However, knowing that Mueller isn’t a white hat, and may even be a black hat, is not the same as being able to predict what he will do.
I may STILL not be QUITE there yet, but I am a lot closer thanks to Tom Fitton, Judicial Watch, and Sundance.
The best way to approach this question is the line of inquiry Sundance is following:
Here is the highly relevant text by Sundance (my emphasis in bold):
In essence, after the FBI claimed to have broken off formal use of Chris Steele; and long after Robert Mueller took over the investigation; Ohr remained an intermediary between Chris Steele and Robert Mueller’s special counsel team.
Obviously this begs the question: if the special counsel was simply investigating the truth of the dossier, why would Robert Mueller want/need an intermediary as opposed to directly being in contact with, and questioning, the dossier author directly?
Tom Fitton’s likely accurate (highlighted) statement above; showcasing a compromised intent; would explain why Mueller’s team would need an intermediary.
Nellie Ohr and Chris Steele were the authors of the Clinton-financed dossier. The dossier was the primary evidence for the entire corrupt investigative enterprise. The dossier is the lynch-pin of evidence that validated the Title-1 FISA warrant used against Carter Page and all campaign officials therein.
As a direct result of the origination, Mueller’s later mandate from Rosenstein is based on that dossier. As a result, inside that dynamic there is a motive for Mueller’s team to stay away from discovering anything that might invalidate the dossier if they wanted to: (a) continue the appearance of legality for the prior exploitation; and (b) continue extending the investigation that is dependent on the dossier.
If things went sideways, direct contact with the central witness and dossier author removes plausible deniability. Indirect contact, via an intermediary (Bruce Ohr), allows retention of plausible deniability and continuance of dossier use.
The document pdf file is here. CTH is reviewing the information overnight tonight.
ADD: This is the same reason why Christopher Steele and Glenn Simpson are not on the witness list of people and entities announced by House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler.

Here is what happened next. Here is my REVELATION.
- I realized this meant that Mueller was PRETENDING NOT TO KNOW THINGS
- That means Mueller was following the MAMET PRINCIPLE
- It was time for me to break out my favorite meme about the MAMET PRINCIPLE, which uses the Rosatom logo to imply that rank-and-file DEMOCRATS “pretend not to know” about Hillary and Uranium One.
- That image is shown at the top.
- Random thought – wasn’t MUELLER involved with Uranium One?
- Didn’t MUELLER let the deal go though so oddly, almost as if…..
- MUELLER’S SPECIAL POWER IS “PRETENDING NOT TO KNOW”
Suddenly, things are making sense everywhere, throughout Robert Mueller’s history.
The man was the perfect PUTZ to put in charge of FBI, yet he fakes being a MENSCH very nicely. Mueller has GRAVITAS down like a champ, but when push came to shove, POLITICS WINS and Mueller PRETENDS in whatever way is needed by those calling the “virtue” shots.
In other words, he’s FAKE just like the rest of these establishment goons. And he “goes with the flow” of the socialist takeover – NO PROBLEMO – by pretending not to know what he damn well knows.
For me, the veil is really lifted on this guy.
We now UNDERSTAND his Achilles heel.
SELF-DECEPTION by PRETENDING NOT TO KNOW – YET HE DOES KNOW.
He simply pretends that there is no fire in the crowded theater, as ordered.
This is a great day for MAGA. There is damn well going to be a TON of evidence that Robert Mueller KNEW things and EVADED their public disclosure so that he could continue to PRETEND NOT TO KNOW.
It will be a pattern, it will be long-running, and it will have a lot bigger implications than #Spygate.
Sorry to post and dash, but my energy is running low. Will get back to comments later!
Get some rest, boss.
🙂
This will wait on you…your health is more important!
Thanks! gonna start getting ready now!
“I realized this meant that Mueller was PRETENDING NOT TO KNOW THINGS”
YES.
“That means Mueller was following the MAMET PRINCIPLE”
Yes.

YEP… yep yep yep…

YEP. Nailed it.
One of the things I like about your posts is how you take the same kinds of things I’ve been thinking, and then articulate them so that anyone can see it.

Sgt. Mueller! LOL!!!
Thanks!
One more interesting thing here. I say this because I’ve seen memes of Chris WRAY compared to Schultz and other such characters – DESPITE the fact that Wray has cleaned out more top FBI faster than anybody in HISTORY!
Mueller SEEMS like Elliot Ness, but acts like Schultz.
Chris Wray SEEMS like Schultz, but acts like Elliot Ness!
I think my understanding of Chris Wray is enhanced by the fact that I live with one just like him!
My DH works for an international charitable organization. Our little branch of it has seen some real turmoil in the past two years. All the while, my guy has smiled and joked and cleaned house. Everybody likes him. They all think he is a big teddy bear. And the bad guys keep dropping like flies!
It is a different model than some would like, I think, but Wray IS doing the job. He is just “Mr. Nice Guy” while doing it.
Your comment makes me think Chris Wray was looking up the chain of command to JEFF SESSIONS on that, too….. 😉 😎

When I saw how HusseinO had ‘sealed records’, a shady past and the way the enemedia was covering for him…I went straight to…”OMG he’s on a mission to destroy this country.”
I am just grateful that he wasn’t completely successful in that mission.
That FBI commendation for the Backpage guy, that Mueller signed, is interesting.
Especially since Backpage was raided by the FBI and shut down last year for sex-trafficking, child pornography and promoting pedophilia!
Yes, Mueller has been an enigma.
I had ‘hoped’ that people were right about him being a White Hat, and that he was secretly working for our team.
But I always had trouble with that idea.
I am sooo ready for the hammer to come down on all these rats and scumbags!

Grey hat. Black hat turned useful. To save his skin.
BOOM! Controlled opposition. HIGHLY controlled.
I was convinced he was a black hat when I learned what he did to Enron. Then, a couple of times I wavered for about two minutes, and thought, no. He’s not a good guy.

And of course, I have to put the counter view. The SC was billed as a continuation of the investigation under Comey – THAT was Mueller’s apparent mandate. So the Ohr revelation fits with that. Muellers job was to exonerate Trump by COMPLETING Comey’s witchhunt / smear job. This totally KILLS the “muh obstruction of justice” impeachment angle.
If this operation was being run to distract the Dems from much more crazy stuff – they were CONVINCED that Mueller was go to get Trump a gazillion times – then it succeeded.
So I am afraid that the Mueller / RR status REMAINS unknown, at least for me.
In the meantime the country / world has been patiently educated as to the nefariousness of Obummer et al.
So let us wait and see … The fat lady is in the powder room, applying the finishing touches before her performance.
I cannot “unhear” POTUS saying (to Lester Holt) that he may confuse some people by lengthening the investigation …
That is exactly what has transpired.
Mueller is not a white hat! How does a righteous moral person cover up 9/11 and Uranium One, all under Muellers watch as FBI Director? If those actions are the fruit of the tree, then the tree is evil and corrupt!
Mueller was set up as a buffer, to filter testimony to come—the excuse used to not reveal information “because of an ongoing investigation”. “It will interfere will the ongoing Mueller investigation”. All bullshit, all designed to give key players temporary shelter! I can only observe the actions of a person as the illuminator to their heart—whether good or evil. Unless the Mueller gig (including Manafort and Stone) is all Kabuki theater, then Mueller is black/DS!!!
How does a righteous moral person put four innocent men in prison and then fight to keep them there even when strong evidence of their innocence is found?
Two of those men got out of prison but two of them died in prison, innocent, due to the strenuous efforts of MuleDeer.
Amen, PG!!! And then brings aboard Andrew Weissmann, and a former attorney for the Clinton Foundation (the woman), and 12 or 13 other Dems on the Special Counsel? If it smells like shit, it probably is shit!!!
The early stuff is why I look at Mueller and think two things:
(1) he’s dirty, or (2) he was SO DEEPLY UNDERCOVER for the “patriots” that he was ordered to go along with DECADES of bad stuff and simply report it. The likelihood of the second seems smaller and smaller.
A third option – he’s dirty, AND he is a rat.
A rat in the sense that he is deserting a sinking ship i.e. he’s flipped, trying to save himself. Q “himself” said this.
When I say that Mueller is part of the plan, I am NOT arguing that he is righteous.
I defended Sessions because of his past – his history was that of a righteous patriot.
The job that I contend that Mueller is doing REQUIRES a non-righteous individual. I am no friend of Mueller, BUT if he is working FOR PDJT, I will take it!!!
Hi Pete, I am with you in that I neither like nor respect Mueller’s past!! I just am just thinking that the genius that is PDJT has found a way to USE him …

Ohhhh lookie, more fun and corruption in the former Soviet Bloc.
Here we have an “ALLEGED” Billion dollar bribery scheme, being prosecuted by the Southern District of NY…. and the judge is one of our old fav’s, Kimba Wood. (isn’t she connected to Soros, somehow?)
The Department of Justice announced criminal charges against the daughter of former Uzbekistan President Islam Karimov on March 7, in addition to charges levied against the former general director of Uzdunrobita, an Uzbek subsidiary of the Moscow-based Mobile TeleSystems PJSC, also known as MTS.
MTS is the largest mobile telecommunications company in Russia and a publicly traded company in the United States. Thursday’s charges stem from an alleged $1 billion money laundering and bribery scheme, and the largest potential bribe payment ever received by an individual defendant under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA).
The charges were filed by Geoffrey S. Berman, the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, and the case will be adjudicated by U.S. District Judge Kimba Wood, a Reagan-appointee.
https://www.theepochtimes.com/daughter-of-former-uzbek-president-charged-in-1-billion-bribery-scheme_2830441.html

There is a book out, on Amazon, about Q, which has led to a little bit of infighting among the Anons….. as if 10 people could ever decide on what to eat for dinner at the same time.
Ugh.
Anyway, the book was at #14 on the bestseller list, last time I checked, and it was climbing.
Here is Paul Serran’s thread, more like an eye roll, on the infighting.
Did some digging on that book, and I believe it’s controlled opposition. The publisher is suspect, as are the comments that scream “BOTS” and the way it shot to the best seller list. Yeah, no.
Plus, anyone actually profiting from the movement is suspect.
Makes me think of the book about the Federal Reserve. The author was told. Forget NO ONE will ever publish it. The word has gone out.
The original book, published under the title Mullins On The Federal Reserve, was commissioned by the poet Ezra Pound in 1948.
Ahh, Eustace Mullins. His stuff all got published, but the full print runs would be bought up and destroyed. Fortunately, the texts are all available as PDFs online.
http://www.eustacemullins.us/wp-content/works/Books/
The other thing about Eustace Mullins that needs to be background info is that he was Ezra Pound’s protogee. Remember that Ezra Pound was put in an insane asylum of sorts for what he had to see about the conspiracy. Eustace Mullins escaped that fate, but worked in the Library of Congress which was how he had access to so much material to do his research.
The Library of Congress is one of the few complete repositories of published material in the country. I want to say the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor is another, but that may no longer be true. Washington University in St. Louis (Wash U to the locals) Olin Library was for a time, but is no longer.
Mullins was actually targeted in the internet age and pestered to death. Literally. He, and Sherman Skolnik, another conspiracy researcher and reporter, were both either murdered outright or by harassment.
My copy (if we are speaking of the same book) just arrived yesterday, so I cannot give a definitive opinion on your belief until I read it. It is detailed and long so that will take me a while. On initial browsing, I note it is a serious book, it is well organized, it will help greatly even those of us who have been following a certain prime number for a long time.
And it is #1 at Amazon. Not hard to do, in my view, given that people like Praying Medic, who have huge followings, simply noted the publication of the book.
I will remind us all that Q him/herself has said the issue of “profiting” from “the movement” was closed some months ago. Being paid for one’s work is not at issue. Seeking profit and publishing/pushing false decodes was the issue and such persons revealed themselves.
JoeM, someone I follow with respect, has a chapter in the book.
Sorry, Wolf, but this is one place where all the training we have had to believe what we see and hear might well be part of the deception.
I still think Mueller’s whole operation was a way to tie up all the Dem lawyers and give the cats of the party a ball of string and a laser pointer to play with.
Nothing is as it seems. Whatever is done for public consumption is to keep the MSM busy chasing rainbows and unicorns. Every now and then, we get on the spot video of the REAL action, a la the blackhawks in Los Angeles, but for the most part, none of what we are seeing is real.
That includes Mueller, dirty or not.
In the meantime, it’s fish fry season in these parts. Went to one last night where the priest was serving up the fish. Saw our veterinarian and his wife there. THAT is real life.

Honestly. As a former FF I don’t really have an issue with this. It doesn’t take 6 people to respond to every single 911 call. Really.

Very rude comments about NJ are jumping in my brain but I will refrain from putting them in the comment box.

My opinion is President Trump was VERY carefully vetted well before his run for the presidency. To think the Deep State/Communist would not go after him and his Admin with Lawfare, Shunning, and even violence, is to completely underestimate these people. Thus, the demand that Jeff Sessions recuse, was already known. The ‘Special Council’ was already anticipated. I mean really, didn’t you expected ot once you thought about it?
Spygate has been kabuki theater to entertain and occupy people. It has accomplished many useful things.
1. Kept the Commies busy.
2. REVEALED the government corruption to the general population.
3. With the Democrats ‘capturing’ the lower house, it gives them something to occupy themselves.
However I think Spygate is really a minor side issue in the grand scheme of things. That is why it does not matter if Mueller is a ‘black hat’ or a ‘white hat’ he serves the same purpose either way.
….
We have seen some indications of where the Trump admin is going.
1. The Economy/trade deals
2. De-fang the War machine.
3. The border and trafficking of drugs/humans.
This last is where we are going to see much of the action.
…. Sex trafficking esp. Child sex trafficking. We are seeing bigger and bigger names.
…. The newest news where the Trump admin has been tracking those ‘helping’ illegals organize and cross the border.
…. BIG drug busts
…. BIG Fraud busts
I think you get the idea.
There is a certain line of thinking that said that the recusal was set up even before the AG nomination was announced. With that in mind, it was necessary to appoint someone as AG who could take the bullet. That person would have to be competent to serve as AG but also be essentially expendable, in the sense that they would not be a permanent AG or even the administrations first choice for AG.
I don’t buy that line of thinking. I think Trump was genuinely disappointed that Sessions recused. But like so much of this, there is still much that is not known. That is why I lose patience with people who are dogmatic about “Sessions this” “Sessions that” – speculation is not fact.
michaelh,
When Admiral Rogers went to Trump Tower and told President-elect Trump the Obummer Admin was SPYING on him, I think the idea of the ‘insurance policy’ also may have been revealed. Given all the RUSSIA, RUSSIA, RUSSIA headlines at the time, And the accusation that President-elect Trump coluded with Russia to steal the DNC/Hillary/Podesta emails…

great timeline
As I said I stole it from OT and just added some of the Jeff Sessions stuff.
Sessions and ANY lawyer would be aware of the rules about recusal and know Session would have to recuse about anything involving President Trump and his campaign.
The choice was someone President knew and must recuse or someone recommended who had NOT endorsed him and who he did not know. A really dangerous choice.
With a 49 vs 51 Senate the RINOs got their pick. Notice Rosenstink got lots of votes while Sessions squeeked by and only after promising to recuse if the DOJ panel recommended it.
Hi Gail – Note also that POTUS said in Lester Holt interview – “Rosenstein is a good guy – R’s AND Dems’s like him” mmmm?
So RR could appoint a SC that the D’s would APPROVE of ….
POTUS KNEW that Dems liked him.
Sessions likes him too …
Sessions is more and more appearing to be the stealthiest possum in history …
POTUS picked Wray because of RR …
McCabe is attacking RR …
Q says RR / Mueller same-same …
What does all that say about Mueller’s role?
My vote is that PDJT indeed is playing 64 D chess 🙂
I think they knew that there was an intention to force a recusal. However, my feeling is that Trump did not want Sessions to just roll over and play dead on that. I’m sure will be made clear on that but I’m careful to take Trump’s public statements at face value and not make too many assumptions about intentionally spreading disinfo via a public persona.
Agree, Michael, although I think Team Trump (includes Sessions pre-inauguration) got a pretty good lay of the land they were facing from Adm. Rogers at the Trump Tower meeting (which pissed Obama off)! If Team Trump decided to take on all this Obama Administration corruption, then they had to consider contingencies such as a demand of recusal if Sessions was nominated and confirmed as AG (I would hope). And especially the way Sessions got drilled in his confirmation hearing. Hope time will reveal to us the truth of the matter!
AMEN!
Trump is a player with many strategies for any lie of the ball, and the idea of playing the recusal morality game would have been a HIGHLY profitable one (Democrats basically weaponizing their own past failures to recuse). So I can see how Trump would be disappointed for reasons OTHER than the obvious one (wanting Sessions free).
In any case, AMEN – don’t think we know enough here!!!
Sometimes, in order to deceive the corrupted, the public will necessarily be deceived, as well.
Deception: Can involve dissimulation, propaganda, and sleight of hand, as well as distraction, camouflage, or concealment <<< Being at war means that we should EXPECT all of this—and MUCH MORE!
In other words—“confuse some people”. The long investigation as camouflage? I have long said that I believe that the military is behind our President. So many Admirals and Generals endorsed President Trump—I am certain that they did more than just endorse him. We shall see…
I think the war plans go back many years. Perhaps, dating back to the ‘birth certificate’ scandal or even earlier.
Can someone give me an assist on this: I have searched for the Mamet principle, and I have searched for the entire quote, and I have searched his entire article “Why I Am No Longer a Brain-Dead Liberal,'” but I have not been able to find evidence of anything relating to a Mamet principle. Is it something he mentions in a book? Usually, well-known quotations are all over the internet, but the only evidence I find of his is on CTH and now here.
SD quotes is a couple times a month at least, it seems. Not exactly the same wording as above though, IIRC. I don’t remember the ‘advancing their illogical arguments’ part, but I do remember the need ‘to pretend not to know [certain] things’.
I believe it actually comes from Upton Sinclair: It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it.
Seems like a variable paraphrase.
Here is one of SD’s quotes: https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2017/07/03/cnn-highlights-use-of-mamet-principle-fraud-news-cnn-remains-fraud-news-cnn/
The “Mamet Principle” may be from his book “The Secret Knowledge: On The Dismantling of American Culture by David Mamet”
http://www.whatwouldthefoundersthink.com/the-secret-knowledge-on-the-dismantling-of-american-culture-by-david-mamet
Curious that it’s so difficult to find a direct citation. Lots and lots of references/uses, but nobody (so far) seems to actually provide a citation.
I researched this a while back – I think it may be in a post here or on my other blog.
I found your blog with ‘Mamet Principle’ during my search:
https://wolfmoon1776.wordpress.com/tag/mamet-principle/
Yes! i found myself, too! 😀
But I am unable to find my post/comment on the subject. I believe that I found a link to a quoted paragraph direct from Mamet, from which the SD quote is an obvious paraphrase. But I cannot find my prior description of that find, NOR can I find the original wording itself.
Thanks. Don’t go to any more trouble. 🙂
I think that Sundance or somebody OTHER than Mamet (like a pundit citing Mamet’s literal statement, which I HAVE read somewhere) is the one who first called it the “Mamet principle”.
I know that I found the original quote and history of its citation, and wrote it all out in either a blog post or a LONG comment somewhere on CTH or one of my blogs.
You will find it in his book “The Secret Knowledge.” I must admit that principal confounded me for a time, until I began to pay more attention to liberal behavior. Once I saw it, then I couldn’t not see it. It’s become one of my favorite memes. I also respect Mamet tremendously for publicly stating his views. Of course, all the ‘right’ people immediately piled on.
If you are unable to find it on the internet, it’s no wonder. It’s got to be one of the most damning truths of ‘those people.’
Thank you! It’s not the kind of quote the Left wants published far and wide.
I found it.
A bit of searching turned up this pdf of the book “The Secret Knowledge” by David Mamet:
https://the-eye.eu/public/concen.org/Conspiracy%20Theory%20eBooks%20Collection%20part%203%20%5BPDF%5D-OMNiSCiENT/Mamet%2C%20David%20-%20The%20Secret%20Knowledge%2C%20On%20the%20Dismantling%20of%20American%20Culture%20%282011%29.pdf
I did a word search of the book. It could be that the text conversion was not perfect, so I tried a bunch of different words from the quote:
“In order to continue advancing their illogical arguments, modern liberals have to pretend not to know things.”
I searched “order”, “advancing”, “illogical”, “arguments”, “modern”, “liberals”, “pretend” and even “things”.
Each of those words (except “advancing”) appears numerous times.
None of them appeared to be part of a sentence expressing the quote in question…
Thanks for going to all that trouble! So we still don’t know where the quote originated…
I would guess Dave Mamet has a Twitter account. Why doesn’t someone just ask him? I would do it, but @Jack suspended me (again).
One day, if things go well, maybe I can suspend Jack… over a trap door.
But in the meantime, I don’t have any way to contact Mr. Mamet via Twitter. I did just watch his 1987 film House of Games recently (Criterion Collection), so I have that goin’ for me… 😁
I was not able to find it in the pdf version of “The Secret Knowledge” I found online, doing a word search for each of the main words in the subject quote.
I posted a link to the pdf just below ‘TheseTruths’ post below.
Good I did word searches on some interview transcripts and could not find them either.
” It took me years of studying Barack Obama to go from “Obama hopeful” to “Obama needsta” to “WTF, Obama!” to “Obama’s not actually gonna – is he?” to “I’ll bet Obama will” to – at long last – to “Obama WILL do this – just WATCH“.”

In this particular case, it took me roughly zero point six eight seconds to see right through Hussein. About the same amount of time Mr. Data considered accepting the Borg Queen’s offer. As Data said, 0.68 seconds is an eternity for an android.
But it’s not long at all for me 😁
[it took a lot longer than I thought it would, to look up that scene about Mr. Data, and how long he considered betraying humanity — turns out it was in ‘First Contact’, which I should have guessed, but it has been a long time since I have seen any of those shows!]
“In this particular case, it took me roughly zero point six eight seconds to see right through Hussein.”
Same here. Ø’s position on abortion only confirmed it. The Democrat party’s policies also confirmed my reaction to Ø
By the time of the election, I would not have voted for Ø at gunpoint.
For me, it was the way he spoke, the way he presented himself, every fiber of my being sensed that something was seriously ‘wrong’ about that deceiver.
Arrogant and condescending, with zero background to rationalize either one. The fake cockiness, as if that tool had ever been accepted by anyone besides other tools.
The putting on of airs, mixed with ghetto-speak. The droning voice, doing its best Ellsowroth Toohey impression, speaking endlessly without ever actually saying anything at all.
The lies about his background, about his education, his family, his birth certificate. Always seeking to hide or ‘seal’ his past.
Zero experience. He had never even run a Popsicle Stand. He had only been an Illinois state senator for 2 years before he started running for president. Clearly he was chosen, because no one less qualified has ever run for president. As I have said before, he didn’t just lower the bar — he stole it.
The whole thing was a purposeful fraud and sham from the get-go.
People went on and on about what an eloquent speaker he was. Apparently the capacity to speak was the new standard for eloquence. Talk about an exercise in mass-delusion, I kept waiting for some kid to point out the would-be emperor has no clothes, because nobody would listen to me.
He was like a cardboard cut-out of a Manchurian Candidate. No past, no experience, no sense. Just a racial chip on his shoulder the size of Mount Everest.
He had a chance to be great, but that wasn’t his purpose, because he wasn’t there to be great or do great things, he was there to do a job for his masters, and that job was to destroy our nation from the highest office in the land.
And for better or worse, the greatest lesson to be learned from Hussein is this: never, ever allow a minority to have power over the majority.
The majority has proven that it can govern for everyone.
The minority has not only proven that it governs from no one (expect his paymaster / puppet-master), but the minority bared his fangs at the majority every day he was in office.
Never again.
Minorities are tribal, just like everyone is. The difference is that the entire sense of ‘self’ for most minorities (and for nearly ALL minorities who would be involved with politics) is based on cultural identity.
And a BIG part of that cultural identity is HATE WHITEY, because the Left has indoctrinated that hatred into minorities for decades.
So as a white man, as a member of the majority, I would have to be insane to vote for another minority, after the experience with Hussein.
Leftists would call me ‘rayciss’, but they call a clock rayciss if it doesn’t say what time they want.
We tried that experiment. TWICE.
The first time a minority had an opportunity to lead, and look what happened.
If anyone thinks I’m going to try that experiment again, to put myself or our country through that again… you’re out of your freakin’ mind.
Rule by the majority is the only way.
Because when a minority is given the chance to lead, he (or even worse, she) will only use it to settle old scores and oppress the majority for perceived (indoctrinated) ‘sins of the fathers’.
I won’t go through that again.
They had their chance.
They blew it bigger than lighting a cigar in a fireworks factory.
It’s nothing personal, and it’s certainly not rayciss.
There just isn’t anything in this world that could make it worth taking that chance again.
And I didn’t take that chance the last time. I knew better.
I was just forced to go along with it, against my will, because of all the virtue-signallers who didn’t know better.
I knew he was no good, slick and mumbo jumbo words, droning on and on and on, and I like words! But he said nothing. news’ conference 6 questions in ONE hour! Ah, ah, ah, ah, I, I, I, I, I etc. etc.
Wrote several articles regarding the guy who really was a fraud inserted into the highest office of our land.

Ultimately, I realized the futility of writing about Barack Obama.. perhaps the biggest scam in American history was pulled off with his being elected president. A travesty beyond measure.
I still hope the truth about him is exposed – someday.

People either saw it, or they didn’t. Not much in between. It was like a litmus test for either being wide awake, or the lights are on, but nobody’s home.
Leftists in general, and Hussein supporters in particular, were literally like ‘pod people’ or Stepford wives to me. Like you could snap your fingers right in front of their face, and they wouldn’t even blink. They would just breathe through their mouths, like guppies.
The sheer scale of denial and intellectual dishonesty (or mind-blowing stupidity / below 50 IQ) required to be a Democrat / Leftist today is so far off the end of the Bell curve that I have a hard time even relating to them as human beings.
Oftentimes I don’t think they are, simply because it’s not possible to function in the real world when you’re so far detached from reality.

It’s as if the whole world has been subjected to the biggest lie ever conceived. The people who have been telling the lie have the Megaphone, and the pod-people believe the lie.
The rest of us know it’s a lie, but we don’t have a megaphone. So the ‘perception’ is that the lie is true, and the people who know it’s a lie are ‘crazy’.
The amount of relief that will come from having that false cognitive dissonance exposed is indescribable.
And considering the misery and psychological warfare directed at those of us who are awake, to whom this has been done, on purpose with unconscionable malice aforethought, I really don’t care if it’s going to be ‘jarring’ to the sleepwalkers and pod-people.
They deserve to be ‘jarred’.
I HOPE they’re ‘jarred’.
Put a bucket over their head and hit it with a mallet, ring their bell like Chuck Barris on the Gong Show.
I got your ‘safe space’ for ya, right here.
“And considering the misery and psychological warfare directed at those of us who are awake, to whom this has been done, on purpose with unconscionable malice aforethought, I really don’t care if it’s going to be ‘jarring’ to the sleepwalkers and pod-people.
Yes! The mistreatment toward those of us who KNEW he was a fake, knew it was all a lie was done with malice aforethought. Intentional to make sure no one discovered the truth.
I expect that President Trump knows the entire story – perhaps even before he became POTUS as he traveled in those circles – well, until they threw him out when he demanded Obama produce a birth certificate.
His Birth Certificate likely reveals some ineligibility or dual citizenship or something. I bet he never graduated from college and likely passed with all D’s at Columbia and Harvard – compliments of Affirmative Action. Obama was our first Affirmative Action president. He better be the last.
IMO it is far more important that whatever conspiracy gave us Obama be utterly exposed, than that we continue to delude ourselves about the “benefits” of a FAKE “first black President” imposed by communists.
When he announced his candidacy, I became intensely curious, so I paid close attention next time he opened his mouth to speak – and he made absolutely no sense. I thought uh-oh, this isn’t good. The second time I heard him say something and again he said ‘nothing,’ I knew he was going to be very bad for the country.
I mean, ‘we are the ones we have been waiting for?’ Seriously???????
“I mean, ‘we are the ones we have been waiting for?’ Seriously???????”

It was like they held a blithering idiot contest to see who could come up with the most insane thing imaginable, and then had their candidate for president say it out LOUD.
When I saw people CHEERING for this idiocy, I knew we definitely weren’t in Kansas anymore. We were somewhere over the rainbow, through the looking glass, where one pill makes you larger, and one pill makes you small, and the ones that mother gives you don’t do anything at all, go ask Alice. When she’s ten feet tall.
And THAT is what we put in charge of our COUNTRY.
To witness the insanity unfold, to watch what were ostensibly human beings guzzle that purple Kool-Aid like a beer-bong at a frat party, and to know the misery and destruction it would bring — and then living through it, for eight long years — was a lot worse than anything the snowflakes might suffer from being awakened.
N E V E R Again.
Never ever.
I should have titled one of my articles, “The Cult of Obama” – that’s what his fawning sycophants were, a cult.
P.S. We’ve got new Q posts!
#3004 thru 3009.
New post up on the big rocker 3010.
Amen, brother.
Scott, you are on a roll!!! But I’m enjoying everything you’ve said because it’s exactly how I feel. When O first announced he was running I remember him saying “ if you want to know what I’m about, look at the people I surround myself with.” I did my research as much as I could and I didn’t like the people he surrounded himself with. I didn’t vote for him either time, in fact when he won the second time I cried. It was the longest 8 years to get through!!! As to everyone saying he was a good orator, without the Teleprompter he couldn’t even speak a whole sentence without an uh in it!
Great post Scott!!!😊
Obama still doesn’t make any sense, and watching the sycophants – unbelievable. The magazines are still trying to sell the Obama’s as something beautiful and special. All the airbrushing in the world can’t make those ugly people pretty. I mean ugliness of the soul, though it sure shows through in their faces.
It’s awful to see Michelle Obama still in the pages of fashion mags and our lovely Melania nowhere in sight.
Yes, it is, but I just hold First Lady Melania close in my heart – she gets her joy from her hubby, family and We the People. She knows her worth, and doesn’t need the foul MSM to give it to her.
Muellers pastime.

U.S. Special Counsel Robert Mueller is being tossed into the Brett Kavanaugh and Christine Ford alcohol drinking controversy, according to an upcoming book detailing and revealing Deep State and D.C. secrets.
Mueller reportedly has been spending parts of his work days drinking as well as his evenings, according to detailed accounts and reporting from the upcoming Deep State tell-all book ‘PAINE: How We Dismantled the FBI in Our Pajamas.’
Rumors of Mueller’s drinking have gone mainstream in recent months after employees at upscale D.C. watering holes notified Congressional personnel of the Special Counsel’s frequent trips to the bar, often during week days, insiders report.
This obviously is concerning, given Mueller’s key role in D.C. politics as well as his influence over the White House and President Trump. And some in Congress are calling for an investigation. But they dare not challenge Mueller publicly. Yet.

More on Recusal
The CNN story of Sessions meeting with a Russian Ambassador 😱 was met with
“[…] A number of Democratic politicians called for Sessions, now the attorney general, to resign, while others, including prominent Republicans, have called for him to recuse himself from any investigation involving President Donald Trump’s ties to Russia or the country’s influence in the 2016 presidential election.[…]” — Business Insider
Remember Sessions met him briefly at the shindig at the Trump nomination where the Obama Admin had SENT Kislyak. The Russian Ambassador Kislyak showed up in Jeff Sessions’ office unexpectedly, at least by Sessions. This was in relations to his duties as a member of the Armed Services Committee.
Turns Out Obama White House Had a Direct Role in Sessions Meeting with Russian Ambassador This is at the Republican Convention.
….
chojun says: OT
“Page 189 is interesting. Comey indicates that he was aware that Sessions was going to recuse “in the future”. This is very very interesting.
I don’t remember who but a member of the small group (DOJ or FBI attorney/counsel) ended up hauling Jeff Sessions into a room and basically telling him that he’s recused in anything “muh Russia”.
This is the clearest indication anywhere that Jeff Sessions was likely set up and recusal was not something that just happened but was a huge part of their strategy from the get-go. James Comey I think is admitting here that part of his strategy was affected by his knowledge that Sessions was going to be recused.”
Comey in exchange with Congressman Jim Jordan (R-OH):
