Edgar Hoover started blackmailing Jack Kennedy back in the 1960s the security apparatus has been dictating policy from behind the scenes and controlling many of the elected officials that we thought were the decision makers.\u00a0 Does it go above these coup leaders?\u00a0 Maybe we\u2019ll find out.\u00a0 If the lower level guys squeal on the mid-level rats I would imagine that anything is possible.\u00a0 But this will require that William Barr is both genuinely patriotic and absolutely fearless.\u00a0 It\u2019s hard to believe that we could be that lucky.\u00a0 Once again, we\u2019re about to find out.\u00a0 It\u2019s way past the time for Barr to start getting results from Durham\u2019s investigations.\u00a0 After the acquittal some people have stated that the first indictments are about to be handed down in the next few weeks.\u00a0 Well, I\u2019ve heard that many times before.\u00a0 But I\u2019m interested in seeing what is the result.\u00a0 As stated above I thing that prosecuting these people is the only way to head off further damage to our country.\u00a0 Otherwise we\u2019re just chasing yesterday\u2019s disaster and never catching up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So, this is a loaded question.\u00a0 There isn\u2019t a monolithic consciousness that pervades all of the Right and aligns everyone\u2019s opinions.\u00a0 I have friends who<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5,6],"tags":[784,103,2152],"class_list":["post-9939","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-current-events","category-trump","tag-allegory-of-the-sinking-ship","tag-deplorables","tag-the-permanent-coup"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>What Do the Deplorables Want?\u00a0 How About, What Do I Want?
