It started with Watergate.. These folks hold grudges.. They would have been right at home with the "Hundred Year War" folks.. Watergate pissed them off, and we have been paying for it ever since.. Back then the media jumped on the story and did not let go (like now).. Republicans were all tarnished by that whole episode (even if some were actually supporting the investigation),, I think they "saw the light" about media control back then and have spent 30+ years working behind the scenes to ensure that it never happens again...TO THEM..
Clinton was really just a dry run.. a way to get their ducks in a row and prove that is could be done in a big way.. They went after Carter, but it was easy with him, and Carter never really inspired "strong feelings" in his democratic supporters.. He was a nice guy, a smart guy, too, but not the charismatic figure that Clinton was..
You could even go back to Kennedy, (if you are into the conspiracy thing), because the whole plan works for that era too.. If one goes that far back, it makes the whole plan even MORE deadly to us.. If they are willing to assassinate to try and advance their agenda, we are really in trouble.. I don't go quite that far, because "virtual assassination" is just as effective, if not moreso..
They went after Clinton even before he was elected, but then I think they thought all along that Poppy would eke out a narrow victory.. When he did not, they went after Clinton with everything they had for the whole term.. Clinton's biggest failing, was the fact that he had advance warning, and he still gave them the opening they needed.. He was not brought down, but he was so weakened that a lot of things he COULD have accomplished, wentr undone , or underdone, because he had no support from congress, or maybe he knew they would not be supported, so he just did not even try to ..
If the press is a willing accomplice, you can really get the job done, and they ARE.. The "liberal press" moniker that they hang on Dems is a total joke..just like "healthy (but treeless) forests" legislation.. We see it , but we are LOOKING for it..Most people just hear "news" as background noise.. It's reminiscent of the old self hypnosis tapes.
We all know how frustrated we are when we see news stories that are NOT covered, and the excess to which SOME are covered.. THAT is the result of owning the media..
They can be bold and audacious now, because they know they can get away with it..
They got away with the Clinton witch hunt.. They got away with the "recount" nonsense They got away with the SCOTUS appointment They got away with the tax cuts They got away with the Patriot Act They got away with the war nonsense
They have NO PLANS to ever turn the reins over to the dems, folks.. There is no way in HELL that a republican congress would enact legislation that gives SO much power to a president, unless they "knew" that president would always be "one of theirs"..
Think about this:
They have the house They have the senate They have most governorships They plan to pack the court with fundy judges who "see things their way" They have the BBV well underway to help "their people" get elected They have the white house They have the pollsters They have the press They have the radio They have the power to dictate what we see on tv (CBS movie, etc) They have the money necessary to "buy" what they need They have the Patriot act , which limits OUR right to even complain about them..
I could go on, but you see the difficulty..
We could run Jesus Christ reincarnate, and would have a hard time getting him elected, with the hurdles we have ahead.
