Whether it’s John Boehner, Paul Ryan, Kevin McCarthy or Mike Johnson, leadership’s Lucy has unlimited footballs.

 

The Chair of the HOC is always part of the House Speaker’s close inner circle.

 

Whether it’s the Awan Brothers, the Huma Abedin laptop, the Clinton’s private servers, the Hunter Biden laptop, the Mark Warner/James Wolfe leak of classified information, the activity of CIA analyst Eric Ciaramella in the impeachment, the many aspects to Mary McCord, or the leaking of the Dobbs decision by Sheldon Snook, all of these things are very public, very visible and very well known. Yet did you see a single satellite truck in front of their house or a microphone in their face asking questions?

 

Nope. DC runs this game of pretending and all the media play the game.

 

The fourth estate (media) has long ago collapsed.

 

Now, the choices are ours.

 

Personally, I will not pretend, and I know most of you also refuse.

 

If we keep assembling enough people to stop pretending, then what happens?

A “Countermeasure” is a measure or action taken to counter or offset another one.

 

(“chaff” (outrage), and “countermeasures” (the distraction).)

 

1.) The electorate become aware of a political issue or action; often illegal.

2.) The electorate become angry.

3.) DC needs to protect itself.

4.) Countermeasures are assigned and deployed to delay, obfuscate and create the illusion of investigation of the illegal governmental action.

5.) Electorate watch.

6.) Investigation goes nowhere.

7.) Countermeasure deployment successful.

Repeat.
