Swimming Upstream in the Crooked River
If you break free from the official narratives, you can see that our government seizes more power and spends massive amounts of our money day after day. Average citizens (Congressmen and Senators too) cannot begin to monitor all these activities because our government is just so immense and doing so many things at once. It is like standing on the shore of a large, raging river. Have we reached the point where the government no longer needs to heed the will of the people? Any abuse is swept by the public so quickly that transgressions never get the necessary attention needed to fix the problem and oust the perpetrators. The following examples are just a few of the serious offenses that are being swept away by the crooked river of our government’s actions
The Twitter Files and Missouri versus Biden. The release of the twitter files exposed the extensive collaboration of the big tech social media sites with government bureaucrats and office holders. Big tech was being used to ban speech from anyone opposing government actions or narratives. Government agency bureaucrats and office holders would secretly ask for bans of individuals and entire subject matters; big tech would merrily oblige. This underhanded arrangement stamped out free speech and the First Amendment. Recently this practice was stopped by a judge in the Missouri versus Biden case. All contact between social media companies and government officials has been stopped. The use of proxies by the government to squash political opponents has been officially exposed and stopped (at least for now). Government bureaucrats and officeholders have been silencing political opponents through a secret arrangement with big tech. This should scare all Americans when government power is used to stamp out one of our founding principles. Will this story fade away before anyone who abused free speech is reprimanded, punished, or at least identified? It is doubtful, the crooked river flow is swift.
ActBlue and Money-laundering. ActBlue Charities is a non-profit technology company affiliated with the Democrat Party. Supposedly ActBlue provides an internet channel for Democrat candidates and progressive groups to raise money directly from small donors. Here in Texas, ActBlue always provided Democrat candidates with huge amounts of campaign cash dwarfing GOP coffers. I always wondered about it. Real journalism provided by Jim Hoft, The Gateway Pundit, and James O’Keefe, OMG, exposed clear evidence of rampant money laundering by ActBlue (allegedly, of course). They found that elderly retired folks and unemployed people were making thousands of donations totaling tens of thousands of dollars each. James O’Keefe on video asked these people about their donations and found that these people would give a small donation once or twice, but clearly did not make thousands of donations. What is going on? It certainly appears that ActBlue is a money-laundering site that uses the personal information from small one-time donors to launder secret monies to Democrats. This is quite illegal. Who is really supplying the money? Have the Democrats sold us out to China or other adversaries? Is this cash used to influence officeholders? It appears that this corruption is being treated merely as an election code violation, not illegal money laundering with the possibility of political graft. Will ActBlue be stopped before the next election? Probably not. Will perpetrators be brought to justice? Doubtful. Will this story be swept away by the crooked river and be forgotten? Very likely.
The Halderman Report and Vote Counting Issues. After the 2020 election controversies in Georgia over the vote counting, an assessment of the security of the Dominion voting system was ordered. University professors and computer security experts worked together to evaluate the Dominion equipment that was used. They produced a report called The Halderman Report. In opposition to accountability and the public’s right to know, a judge sealed this report for two years. Disgraceful. That action is bad enough, but the content of the report is much worse. The Dominion system was shown to be easily hacked and the vote totals vulnerable to manipulation. Fox News could have used this report before settling the slander lawsuit with Dominion for hundreds of millions of dollars. Nevertheless, these same Dominion machines were used in 2022 and will be used again in 2024, the dirty RINO Secretary of State has already said so. Denials and obfuscations have been used to deceive and distract the public and keep these flawed machines in use. What? Why? Voters want a secure vote counting system, don’t they? If the public doesn’t know, there can be no outrage and calls for change. Sadly, this story is now old news and has been swept far downstream by the crooked river.
The Missing Witness. This is the current story swiftly passing us in the crooked river. The investigation into Biden family graft and corruption by the Congressional Oversight Committee has a missing witness that just put out a video. This video comes from his unknown location because he believes his life is in jeopardy after he contacted the FBI in 2019. This whistleblower, Dr. Gal Luft, is a well-known D.C. consultant and think-tanker. He did work for CEFC, a Chinese energy company, and learned about secret millions of dollars given to the Biden family and the ties created by these payoffs. He went to the FBI with this information well before the 2020 election. The Hunter Biden laptop that is in possession of the FBI corroborated his information. Instead of exposing a compromised politician, the FBI turned on him and created bogus gun-smuggling charges. He is on the run and in great fear. Dr. Luft put out his story as a video because he dares not come out of hiding to testify to Congress. This case exposes a corrupt FBI that is protecting a corrupt President who is compromised by the millions of dollars of graft from China (allegedly). This information should be shutting down Washington D.C. to start impeachment investigations, but this is just another horror story rapidly passing us down the swiftly flowing crooked river.
I could go on and on with other disturbing examples, but the point is made. If you are a concerned citizen and feel like the country is spinning out of control, you are correct to feel this way. It is unfair that the Democrats can stop the flow to focus on a single issue to make things happen; no others can. Recall the Democrats and crooked bureaucrats drowned all of us in the Trump-Russian collusion hoax, a complete fraudulent story they created. This was the dominant story for more than two years. Those in the non-privileged tier of the justice system are at a decided disadvantage. What can a citizen do? We can remind our sympathetic officeholders that we care and remember important transgressions. We can choose our battles and pick up smaller wins to build momentum. Once your eyes are opened, there is no chance to go back to a happy state of denial or blissful ignorance; you must act. Be a source of information for the uninformed. You have friends, neighbors, and co-workers who will listen to you. Send them the alternative news sites with actual journalism to get them to question the narrative. Send them this blog. It’s time to start swimming upstream in the crooked river to shut down the source of the excess tainted flow.
