I’m going to make a list of four important points about Hollywood – (which was to a large extent ideologically molded by communist RUSSIA, and is now significantly owned by communist CHINA, although being uniquely developed by AMERICAN communists) – and elaborate on those four points for your interest.
Remember – this is from the viewpoint of somebody who has been substantially RED-PILLED by CUTTING THE CABLE (for two years), but who keeps his eye on Hollywood at a safe distance, and who has now been exposed to a small amount of current network TV over the broadcast channels. My points:
1. Hollywood’s main purpose is now POLITICAL REEDUCATION
2 Hollywood now reacts in REAL TIME to fight MAGA, patriotism, and conservatism
3. Exposure to Hollywood products QUICKLY undoes red-pilling
4. Satanists, following POWER, are now moving their influence to CHINA
I will address these in order. Let’s go!
Hollywood’s main purpose is now POLITICAL REEDUCATION
One has to look no further than the “First Man” movie controversy, wherein the American lunar landing was “de-flagged” for globo-reasons, to see that the Hollywood leftists are more informed by their throbbing global hearts, than they are by even the most basic of historical truths.
The people who created “First Man” were clearly NOT educated back in the days before the Soviets and Chinese had taken over American education from the inside. Back in the old days, BASIC FACTS MATTERED. Nowadays, not so much.
Cuckish outfits like Red State may provide explain-away logic that says it’s all about the global ticket money (subtly implying that this makes it all OK), while HuffPo and Town Hall seem to accept the PR angle that it was about “being globally inclusive”, blah, blah, blah. Economically OK or morally OK – take your pick of “OKs” and “well, that’s liberals for ya”.
Allow me to submit to you the proposition that our failure to push back on these edge cases is EXACTLY why we’re in our current MESS.
I WILL ADMIT (perhaps even proudly, from the “classic liberal” left ventricle of my periodically bleeding heart) that the very idea of Neil Armstrong’s immortal words “That’s one small step for [a] man, one giant leap for mankind.” really WAS globalist in its intent. Nothing wrong with that. Profundity required it. Realistically, every ENEMY of America helped put us there, when you think about it.
Why not be inclusive and humble? The greatest significance WAS ultimately human.
True. But the SECONDARY message was deeply American, and it’s IMPORTANT. I think that altering the most basic truths to make way for some people’s larger ideas is exactly why there is a revolution in America right now. This kind of socialist thinking – this “social justice” thinking – where individual truths DIE for the greater “good” – is utterly destructive, unjust, and self-defeating.
Been there, done that, and nothing good comes from it. It’s like a LOAN from the devil. Buy now, pay later. And PAY you will.
I would like to offer an alternative explanation, which I think is also PART OF THE TRUTH HERE. I think the CHINESE MONEY IS SPEAKING ENGLISH. And I think it’s saying “Take out the American flag.” Nobody makes the social justice mistake better than the Chinese communists.
Marco Rubio’s gut negative reaction to the lunar flag dust-up, just like his gut reaction to the Confucius Institutes, comes (post bridge-collapse, for those who are REALLY paying attention) from his deep familial recognition that Communism was WAY more successful in infiltrating America than even the endlessly suspicious Cuban expat community realized. Think about how insidious THAT has to be.
Even if this influence by Chinese money is people hearing the money themselves, and saying nothing, but making decisions accordingly, I think the prevalence of Chinese money in Hollywood is changing and limiting what Hollywood can and will do. Hollywood can make things that are virulently anti-American, but it cannot make things that even trouble the sleep of a single Chinese censor. Not without LOSING support from all sorts of places.
It doesn’t matter whether or not somebody said out loud “DO IT – REEDUCATE THEM!” The fact is simple – we are not just watching our reeducation – we are PAYING FOR IT.
Get rid of it. DO NOT GO TO HOLLYWOOD MOVIES. If you have to, turn each one into a VICTORY for our side by deconstructing it and throwing the communist propaganda back at them in pieces, ready for public understanding. If you have to see one, make sure 100 or 1000 people DON’T SEE IT.
FACTS MATTER.
Hollywood now reacts in REAL TIME to fight MAGA, patriotism, and conservatism
It looks like American justice is now being saved by a “conveniently widowed” woman who doesn’t need a lesbian plot-line [YET, I should say], and a marriage-quality tall/dark/handsome Muslim who complains along Democrat lines without sounding too complainy.
Don’t worry – there are other women in the show who can carry the lesbian torch, because the entire management seems to be women, some of whom are quite likable in that realistic “yeah, she’s a lesbian, but she seems like the only truly competent person around here” way.
Sounds like propaganda? It is. And THAT is before you figure out that not only are they attempting to save the “progressive gains” that constitute the Mueller FBI – they are even trying to save Andy McCabe, Jim Comey, and Robert Mueller THEMSELVES. Oh, wait – that’s the same old FBI that WENT AFTER TRUMP.
I actually like the storytelling of the new “FBI” drama on CBS. I admire it, and even allow myself to enjoy it.
But let me tell you – this show is absolutely LOADED with first-rate communist/globalist propaganda. Watch this with even a modicum of skepticism, and the agenda comes tumbling out like it can’t WAIT to shed the body armor.
Demonization of the American military. Promotion of the “crazy vet” exit lane – which is one of the MASTER STROKES of communist propaganda assault on our institutions. Re-telling of history in left-friendly terms. “Poor Muslim” at EVERY. SINGLE. OPPORTUNITY. Oh, there is more. MUCH MORE.
All of this from ONE EPISODE.
It’s not like there’s not a place for women and Muslims in the FBI. But COME ON – the agenda here is just so THICK you can cut it with rolled eyes and face-palms.
The fact that such well-made propaganda could appear this quickly after James Comey, Andy McCabe, and Robert Mueller got into trouble for their CRIMES and BIAS – it should really shock you. This one is very slick, attractive to people who voted for Trump, hijacks the “law and order” appeal of Republicans, and appeared just in time to start DEFENDING FBI CRIMINALS, with production values that put the old “FBI” to shame, even adjusted for advances in television over 50 years.
Hollywood is reacting to Trump, to re-educate you in WEEKS to MONTHS. The FAKE NEWS may react immediately to counter narratives they don’t like, but Hollywood comes rushing in after that, ready to FIX YOU.
People – unless you are able to easily SPOT propaganda like this, I think it’s very important to AVOID WATCHING IT.
And I say that before my next point.
Scene from “The Deprogrammers”, a fascinating Outer Limits episode providing a brilliant demonstration of the utility of controlled opposition. Science lesson for today: Almost everything about our reality seems to be constructed based on principles of controlled opposition.
Exposure to Hollywood products QUICKLY undoes red-pilling
I have now been able to observe a BATTLE between the left’s best weaponized psychologists and YOURS TRULY, over the MIND of my WIFE. Because I strenuously avoid propaganda opportunities for the left, it’s very hard if not impossible to get to me directly, although they do try (and it’s very funny and useful to watch that process, because it gives away a LOT of information).
Far easier to go through my wife, who provides them with certain irresistible opportunities. I can watch those things and see how well they work, and – shockingly but not surprisingly – they work QUITE well. The left is desperate – absolutely DESPERATE – to UNDO what Trump did. They do NOT hide it.
I don’t want to give away TOO much about what works and what doesn’t, but I think it’s really critical for people to realize that “they” have made their PROPAGANDA extremely ENTERTAINING. If you GIVE IN to the entertainment, they will CHANGE YOU without going through your REASON, your LOGIC, and your DISCERNMENT.
One who desires freedom must not only cut the cable, so as not to PAY for the poison, but may even have to cut the BROADCAST as well, so as not to get the poison for FREE.
Although I think it’s entirely possible to make this backfire. Not that I would do such a thing. Necessarily. Oh, heck – it’s FUN to make it backfire! 😉
And now, a POPCORN moment from SCHADENFREUDE INDUSTRIES.
Satanists, following POWER, are now moving their influence to CHINA
I have to be careful here. I have a WONDERFUL WINDOW into the actions of satanists and pedophiles, and I REFUSE – absolutely REFUSE – to give it up or shut it down. The best part about it is that I don’t have to go digging for it – once I figured out who was who, and how the influence works at non-binary levels (that is one of the big tools of CONSPIRACY THEORY, folks), I can just pick up a paper and watch them do their thing. It’s like watching moles move through the yard at a depth of 1 inch. They think they are hidden – they are NOT. Q was absolutely right about SYMBOLS.
China is a golden opportunity for these nasty folks, and the nasty folks know it. You think the MONEY WORSHIPERS fell for the China thing in a big way? STAND BACK! For people of a blood-thirsty and cruel mentality, CHINA is like the Wild West. China and the ChiCom party may try to fend off (or invite in) the satanists, but a nation of body organ thieves and dyed-in-the-culture corruption CANNOT resist their seductive venom. Sadly, the ChiComs are about to get the FULL ALINSKY, where they enjoy the “blessings of the dedication”, too.
These ChiCom party leaders are IDIOTS for throwing away the protection of religion, and most of all their independent Christians. Germany did it (turning against their Jews, too – always a huge mistake), and BOOM – pretty soon branches of their military were wearing DEATH’S HEADS on their officer lapels. It is very easy to let satanic forces and ideas slip in, and China is almost defenseless now. Ban the open religions, and the hidden ones take over.
So, my “schadenfreude” here is definitely a bit phony and regretful. We will likely be seeing China turn into the next Nazi Germany if they don’t deal with their satanist soon-to-be masters. And, sadly, I don’t think Chinese pride will let them. They underestimate what they are up against. Even if they are certain the panda can toy with the asp.
Controlled opposition. It’s BIDIRECTIONAL. And it NEVER STOPS.
So there you have it. My insights for the day. The product of waking up on the RIGHT side of the bed. Be careful what you watch. You will, in part, become it.
W “Hollywood? Yes. I’ve heard of it. Interesting place.”
I want to directly address Q’s latest, very long post (number 2381 on qanon.pub). I believe that it is critical for sorting out what is happening right now – not only with Attorney General Jeff Sessions, but also with FBI Director Christopher Wray.
Jeff Sessions is directly addressed by Q’s post. However, it was by focusing on somebody who is APPARENT in the post – but not named directly – WRAY – that I can now understand what is happening, and more importantly, WHY.
We begin with Q’s post.

Q
LOGICAL THINKING.
That is what this is all about for me. That includes a lot of work with unknowns and uncertainty. Don’t just TRUST Q. Apply some LOGIC.
I’m pretty good at that. I’m not saying others aren’t, but this is a GROUP EFFORT. Nobody is going to have all the pieces.
We are entering a very weird time where we will get MORE of some specific reliable but unproven (and thus uncertain) advance information through “authorized anti-media” sources like Q, than we will through our own efforts. We will have to juggle some very fuzzy objects to do it, too. If we refuse to accept certain items from Q, that we can’t immediately prove, we won’t be able to make some extremely important leaps.
This is a strange and uncomfortable situation, but once we accept it as a possibility, or even a necessity, we can do a lot WITH IT – all the while keeping our DOUBTS about the reliability of “Q”. REMEMBER: Q cannot read Trump’s mind, and it can make mistakes, or even more specifically may not be fully informed by POTUS – with REASON.
Are you with me? I’m not TRUSTING Q. I’m TESTING Q. And I’m using a combination of my own research, GOOD TESTING DOUBTS from the Treehouse, and STATEMENTS by Q to figure out where I want to be on Christopher Wray and Jeff Sessions. LOGICAL THINKING.
Let’s look at the first part:
Statement release 10.9.18 [p_AUTHORITY1]
General Statement:
We understand that there is extreme fatigue and frustration re: the wheels of justice [slow].
Exclude emotion and personal desire, instead use logic and critical thinking based on situational awareness [undo a lifetime of evil & corruption [infestation] in the span of less than 2 years w/ a corrupt DOJ & FBI in place?]. [Process & Planning – Law and Order] [Military OP]
I think we’re supposed to take the “[p_AUTHORITY1]” token (clearly a real OR ad-hoc made-up or derived symbol meaning “highest Presidential authority”) as the idea that the VSGPOTUS approved this preface to a bunch of stuff which is largely known and repeated, but which, IMO, NEEDS to be repeated. What’s the actual provenance of this stuff? Who knows. Uncertain. Even if it’s a story, it’s a sensible one. The timing is right, and sniffs of reality if this actually IS a legit psy-op.
Now I’m going to inject some opinion here. The stated need for this POST is here, in the second sentence:
We understand that there is extreme fatigue and frustration re: the wheels of justice [slow].
This is a KNOWN vulnerability of the Q *psy-op*, because it is a core REASON for the Q psy-op itself. The Q psy-op was designed (in my opinion) in part to combat the misleading and division of the Trump base by the Democrats and their foreign allies. Why is this going on? Because IMPATIENCE has ruled the roost as JUSTICE grinds slowly. That impatience has allowed the Democrats to DISTRACT THE MAGA BASE very intentionally. IMPATIENCE allows for DIVISION. Note that Q understands the role of division very well, and has been CONSISTENT on this point. Self-consistency is a bona fide. Remember that.
One of the reasons the Q psy-op was CREATED (IMO) was to keep those IMPATIENT laser-pointer-susceptible anons from being misled – to keep them following TRUMP and not chaff and countermeasures – by providing a MAGA laser pointer with deniable but convincing VSGPOTUS signature, that would BEAT OUT the enemy laser pointers.
I don’t just think that was brilliant – I think it was NEEDED.
One of the first and earliest deployments against impatience was the early generation of “Twitter gurus”, who theorized very close to what Q is saying now. Note that the Twitter gurus were SAVAGED by the New York Times in the VERY SAME attack article that was going after Q. There is a reason for that. The same groups of people attacking Q are against ANYTHING MAGA.
The Twitter gurus are convincing, but have also asserted some things that are almost unbelievable – possibly by design. I still don’t accept everything they say as gospel, or even close to reality. But I do believe they are 100% MAGA, and are telling some BIG TRUTHS that will prove correct in the long run.
NOW – what is being said next by Q?
Exclude emotion and personal desire, instead use logic and critical thinking based on situational awareness [undo a lifetime of evil & corruption [infestation] in the span of less than 2 years w/ a corrupt DOJ & FBI in place?]. [Process & Planning – Law and Order] [Military OP]
Look – let’s be reasonable here. COLD LOGIC. The direction of this explanation just keeps working toward what Q has been saying all along. Military OP. Put all the pieces together and the entire history of the Trump candidacy and administration makes TOTAL SENSE if we proceed from the following scenario:
The military and particularly the NSA watched and waited, as they saw things going bad – as the CLOWN Deep State began to abuse IC resources more and more – as it became clear that the control panels of government were being ABUSED for political ends. The Snowden LEAK was one of the last straws. A TRIPWIRE was constructed. I tend to think the basic tripwire may have even been constructed long ago – perhaps as long ago as GENERAL Washington. But the modern interpretation of the tripwire is simple in this theory. If NSA data was used to go after candidates in a Presidential election, the military would STOP IT and begin countering – within limits – whatever forces were behind the abuse. I like to believe that General Washington left some kind of orders that the military would automatically self-correct if it was ever abused BY a President to control a Presidential election. So you know what that means. It is also likely that the black hat conspirators were AWARE of the tripwire, or at least “a” tripwire in theory, and ACTED against Adm. Rogers based on the knowledge that they had likely crossed it.
Now comes a serious question:
How can you make arrests [non military] prior to first fully cleaning out corrupt elements [at the top] of those departments [FBI][DOJ] that oversee ‘investigation & prosecution’ in the United States [they [themselves] are the very ones engaged in the illegal treasonous acts]?
This is not just a self-consistent admission that the military doesn’t want to do this task – it is a POINTER of how to approach this logically.
Clean out the top in a civilian way (takes time, but is largely, not completely done).
Clean out below after that (very problematic – WE ARE HERE)
After that, comes a long litany of FACTS supporting this, in terms of PROMISES KEPT and PROMISES TO BE KEPT, vis-à-vis “draining the swamp”.

This is an argument for MORE TIME based on the sizes of two groups: (1) the bad actors we KNOW about who HAVE been scrutinized, at what we are likely to admit is a previously acceptable rate, and (2) those people ( [BATTER’S BOX] ) have not yet been publicly scrutinized, inviting us to EXTEND the acceptable period of scrutiny.
Is this REASONABLE? That’s a good question. YOUR CALL. I entertain the idea that, with reasonable guarantees of completion, it IS reasonable.
Next, look at some questions:
How do you ensure those prosecuted [non military] would receive an impartial judgement based on the RULE OF LAW?
Think Federal Judge rulings [obstruction][POTUS’ granted CONSTITUTIONAL authority].
How do you ensure ‘appeals’ to the U.S. Supreme Court are evaluated impartially > based on the RULE OF LAW?
Think Justice K (5 to 4).
Military Law v Criminal Law
“Enemy Combatant”
How do you navigate around installed BLOCKADE?
These are all reasonable arguments for (1) do this OUTSIDE the military as much as possible (BRAVO!), and (2) we might REASONABLY need to allow more time.
In particular, look at the BLOCKADE called [MUELLER]….
[MUELLER] designed to take-in evidence needed to ‘expose’ DS [DOJ block re: Mueller ‘evidence’ ongoing investigation]. [MUELLER] designed to limit POTUS’ ability to maneuver. [MUELLER] designed to ‘stall-for-time’ until MIDTERM ELECTIONS to TERMINATE all HOUSE / SENATE ongoing investigations. [MUELLER] designed to ‘safeguard’ D_PARTY_BASE false narrative re: RUSSIA COLLUSION [POTUS CHEATED – EVIL – SKY FALLING] in effort to DIVIDE and MOBILIZE for future protests, riots, threats, violence, FF’s, etc. [MUELLER] designed to provide FAKE NEWS w/ ammunition to sway public opinion, obstruct foreign + domestic agenda, fuel impeachment/removal, fuel anti-POTUS [DIVISION][prevent UNITY], etc.. [MUELLER] designed to demonstrate to foreign players that OLD GUARD still pulls strings. [MUELLER] designed to mobilize D_PARTY for MIDTERM VOTE WIN. [MUELLER] designed to push D_PARTY backers to DONATE [GOFUNDME – D_PARTY]. [MUELLER] designed as PUBLIC OUTCRY EXCUSE should criminal charges be brought against them [‘we are being ‘politically’ attacked because MUELLER…].
Now – in my opinion, this is all a great and obvious argument for:
Sessions is OK, though impeded, and is a HUGE target of the black hats
More time is OK
There is also something else. Notice ALL THOSE PEOPLE IN THE FBI who WERE fired. I’m not even talking about the ones on deck – I’m talking about the ACTUALLY fired and removed people.
This is a whole lot of DRAIN THE SWAMP, in my opinion. This means that Q is also arguing….
3. Wray is OK
It’s not stated explicitly – most of the effort is defending SESSIONS. But by implication, Q is saying Wray is OK, in my opinion.
But how does this jibe with all the other arguments we’re hearing – many seemingly very valid – that Sessions and Wray have NOT cleaned out DOJ and FBI?
Can it be true that they ARE cleaning out the BAD TOP, but that they ARE NOT cleaning out the BAD RANK AND FILE?
Absolutely. And we need to look at this more closely to see why it is happening.
The easiest way to see what is happening is to look at WRAY, not SESSIONS. For Sessions to be valid requires a certain amount of “stealth” on his part – that is a very uncertain situation. We don’t have that problem with Wray.
To begin with, I found it very helpful to look at Chris Wray’s background. If he’s “Deep State”, that’s our problem right there.
My assessment of Wray is as follows. Some of it is highly speculative. The references are included in various places. Many of the ideas listed appear in multiple references, or are derived from my thinking on information in multiple references. Don’t take reference location as definitive, or the references as the sole origins of the ideas.
The purpose of this is to prove that Christopher Wray is or is not “Deep State”. I will skip to the end. He is NOT Deep State. In my opinion.
This is all a bit of a hodge-podge, but if you don’t like it, I think you can gain a similar understanding by simply clicking on and reading some of these references.
Wray was an excellent recommendation (possibly by Chris Christie, among others – Christie won’t confirm)
Wray and his wife seem to embrace a lifestyle antithetical to black-hattery.
Wray made sure that an innocent Chris Christie was not thrown under the bus by his overly loyal underlings (speaks to an amazing skill set)
Wray made sure that a SKETCHY DOJ did not set up and take out Christie, and he (Wray) was not fooled by them (VERY IMPORTANT)
Wray was not in the loop on Mueller and Comey’s black hattery, but looked up to their PUBLIC PERSONAS strongly.
Wray was willing to stand up to Bush and the NSA, along with Comey, Mueller and Ashcroft, in the infamous “Ashcroft incident”, based on what Wray KNEW at the time.
In the process, Wray ADMITTED he didn’t understand what was going on.
THIS point actually becomes a bona fide, because I don’t think Wray (or any of us, for that matter) understood WHY Mueller and Comey REALLY opposed NSA domestic surveillance UNDER BUSH.
Notice also that this made Wray the perfect white hat to slip past the black hats as FBI Director.
Wray’s somewhat mysterious exit from DOJ in 2005 for no stated or obvious reason, when his career was going very strongly, is VERY encouraging to me.
I think we need more research on this.
I cannot find ANYTHING about it, but a cushy landing job is implied
Expect CHAFF stories on this to paint him as a black hat or something else. My guess is that it was really a combination of:
being too much of a white hat for Comey and Mueller, so they limited his advancement and/or engineered pressure on him to leave, possibly including trickery involving the Abu Gharaib hot potato
his old employer tempted him back with college-plus-vacation-home-levels of cash
All of this, I found very troubling.
What? Why? Why on earth would I find an excellent background troubling? Because Wray is too good. I cannot explain the situation at FBI based solely on Wray. The problems at FBI would require Wray to be incompetent in ways he is not.
Sessions is different. He has a MUELLER around his neck. There is a REASON Sessions is in trouble, and the “BAD RANK AND FILE” at DOJ are running loose, undermining him everywhere. Mueller has Sessions pinned down.
Wray does not have that problem. And consistent with a competent leader, Wray’s background is VERY consistent with that long list of FIRED top people at the FBI. He’s the perfect guy to have done exactly what he did. If we also accept Q’s proposition that these things take time, then I think Wray has to be doing a good job.
BUT – how do I reconcile that idea with Wray not providing required documents to Congress in a timely and complete fashion?
Even weirder, how do I reconcile THAT incompetence or noncompliance with EXCELLENT FBI work in the investigation of Judge Kavanaugh?
Stated differently, the FBI has been SWAMPY toward all House investigations, but was NON-SWAMPY for the Kavanaugh Senate investigation.
Logic tells me that the simplest explanation is that FBI is PARTIALLY CLEAN. Stated differently, only a SMALL part of the FBI has been cleansed. That small part is:
the top chain of command that was REPLACED
the special DOJ/FBI group that has been going after leaks, including the Wolfe leak in the SSCI
the group supporting the OIG (but definitely NOT completely cleansed, based on Sharyl Attkisson’s laptop)
These are the places we have seen ACTION against the swamp in any significant way.
This is in agreement with the idea that THE SWAMP is still deep in FBI. Only PARTS of the FBI swamp have been drained.
THAT is OK. I can live with that, if we CONTINUE THE DRAINAGE.
So WHY all the impatience now? We are actually SEEING PROGRESS with the Kavanaugh confirmation and serious FBI push-back on FAKE WITNESSES, and yet people are calling for Wray to be replaced. That could actually be BAD, unless we KNOW of a better replacement.
Does anybody believe that the NEXT FBI Director would be as tough on China as WRAY has been? I seriously doubt it.
That is what went through my mind the next morning, watching a news report about yet another FBI BUST against CHINESE SPIES. And then it hit me.
IT’S CHINA.
Wray has been talking about China more than any other FBI Director in memory. And not just talking – Wray has been DOING. He is actually ARRESTING Chinese assets.
Bear in mind, I had recently seen Wheatietoo’s post, where SHE put it all together on China on a bunch of other things. All I’m doing is throwing ONE MORE LOG on that fire.
Just like Trump and his “team of killers” on trade – just like Trump’s defense people on navigation in the Pacific – just like Trump himself on TARIFF after TARIFF after TARIFF – not to mention calling out CHEATING on North Korea sanctions – not to mention the “Save Our Seas Act” – not to mention upending bogus climate change – not to mention booting out Confucius Institutes – and see Wheatie’s post for more…..
WRAY is TAKING CHINA to the WOODSHED.
Yes. Wray is ON MESSAGE with Trump on China. AND he is the guy who has ACTUALLY been going after China.
Why in the heck would China put up with that?
Answer: THEY WOULDN’T.
NOBODY can start a whisper campaign against their enemies like CHINA.
NOBODY.

I just figured out last night that CHINA is targeting Wray. Oh, these ChiComs are so sneaky. They will pull crap when you’re looking right at them.
I did a deep dive on Wray last night because of this post. Things didn’t make sense.
Everything is telling me that Wray’s basic nature is MAGA, straight-shooter, and that he is the antithesis of what the other side wants. In particular, he is the first guy in a long time to actually GET the China problem. BOOM. That is when I realized what is happening.
SO – in my humble and slightly opposing opinion – the whole “turn against Sessions and Wray” movement is striking me as a highly skilled ChiCom product. The ChiComs are amazingly good at hiding the China hand. They push American faces as actors and actors behind actors to get their goals, and most people never see it, but I smell the invisible Chinese hand like very few can, and it is all over this push against Wray.
So why is Wray being ineffective to Congress? It’s a VALID QUESTION. In some ways this is also CLASSIC CHINA – they always try to move a situation very quickly to a state where their enemies BLAME THE VICTIM. Very few people are as SNEAKY and SKILLED as the ChiComs in getting their enemies to shoot each other.
China’s method of undermining institutions is A THOUSAND CUTS FROM BELOW, AND AN KNIFE TO THE THROAT AT THE TOP. So every Holderite, McCabian and Canklebot in FBI is foot-dragging as hard as they can, many not even realizing who “The Resistance” really serves. And all that is being used against Wray from below, IMO.
I’m sorry, but I will not blame Wray for Chinese black-hattery. We MAY need to put an even tougher fighter in his place (thinking Wolf Moon wearing an AR-15 to pressers), but until somebody SHOWS ME THE GOODS, I say Wray is our best fighter already. The only two people I know who are tougher on China are Peter Navarro and ME, and there is no way Peter is qualified, and no way I would be allowed into my own Senate hearings with an AR-15 on my back (among other reasons 😉 ).
I think we need to see what Wray is like AFTER THE MIDTERMS IF WE KEEP THE HOUSE. Will he be more cooperative with Congress? I think so – for MANY reasons.
If I’m correct in my thinking, then Wray will be MORE FORTHCOMING when President Trump has greater operational freedom. I think we are seeing this to some extent already, but not completely, for valid reasons.
I can expand on that thinking a bit more. CHINA knows that it is going to have to use every asymmetric advantage it can to come after Trump. I am sure they are pressuring, cajoling, and calling in the chips EVERYWHERE to get AMERICAN FACES to get Trump to back down. One of those methods is to get their Democrats back into power by ANY method they can. Removing Sessions and/or Wray has to be at the top of that list. The ChiComs UNDERMINE THE ORGANIZATIONS to do it, too. Possibly through SURROGATES. Exactly what we are seeing. [DSA looks a bit flush lately. Just sayin’.]
It ain’t gonna happen. If the Chinese Communists think they can return the situation to “Obama Normal”, they are SADLY mistaken.
SO – bottom line – this is WAR. And war changes everything. Sometimes, war is a PAIN in the butt, and right now, that’s the way it is.
WAR may mean putting up with ineffective people for a while. WAR may also mean FIRING THEM completely out of the blue. War may even mean FIRING ON YOUR OWN PEOPLE.
I am TRUSTING TRUMP. I see Sessions and Wray as GOOD SOLDIERS in the FIGHT against Chinese communism, Soviet leftoverism, and nasty dupey globalism. Our VSGPOTUS may indeed have to BOMB OUR OWN POSITIONS at some point to free up the AG position and put a TOUGH GUY BASTARD into FBI. That’s WAR. I don’t like it, but if either man gets overrun in his position, then we may have to nuke them.
TOUGH. MAGAPOTUSAURUS is on the loose!
However, I don’t think we’re there yet. So I am going to continue to support Jeff Sessions and Chris Wray up to the very moment (should it ever arrive) that Trump sees their replacement as necessary.
PATIENCE.
LOGICAL THINKING.
COLD ANGER.
This is #WAR. In the meanwhile, WE have a HOUSE to deliver.
W Sometimes you’ve gotta trust that the people up top know what they’re doing. Scene from MIDWAY – why is this relevant? https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0074899/characters/nm0000336?ref_=tt_cl_t3
