Many Americans have come to understand that the mainstream, corporate media is a controlled propaganda machine. There are no original ideas and no deviation allowed from the mandated set of words to describe any action or situation. For way too long, even the slugs in corporate media have essentially admitted this obvious fact because it was simply unavoidable — too apparent to deny.
Starting last week, I thought I had seen the new “watch word” — the slogan or phrase that the controlled media would use in an attempt to undermine the Trump Administration’s efforts to rein in the out-of-control federal government. And, then in the Washington Post (a.k.a. CIA newsletter) it smacked me right in the face. The new term to define the Trump administration is “illegal.”
I counted the use of the term twelve times in a single recent edition. That includes a rather timid use by Perry Bacon, Jr. who asserted actions were “potentially illegal.” And what do these enemies of the people use to justify the use of such an inflammatory and reckless term? The rulings by a handful of radical, leftist judges who are sure to be overturned.
But for the sake of argument, let’s dissect this intended slur and see it for what it is.
First, given the insanity of rules, measures and laws put forth over the past 50 years, it is logical to believe that any action of any kind by any person or official is somewhere “illegal.” We have been tied down by a mountain of contradictory and highly questionable restraints that have hindered any effort to clean up the incredible mess that is Washington, D.C.
Like Gulliver being tied down by the Lilliputians, there is really only one way to be free of the situation — stand up, tear off the useless and unreasonable restraints and begin the word at hand. That to a degree is what DOGE has been doing, simply moving forward to do the job of exposing the corruption and decay in the system.
But doesn’t this confirm the hectoring of the cringing elites?
No, not in the least. And the reason it doesn’t is the second observation that must be factored into the scenario.
For decades — perhaps as far back as under the disastrous Woodrow Wilson — Congress has long abandoned its role as envisioned by the Constitution. They have shirked their responsibilities, handed power to the Executive or so-called “independent agencies.” Look at one of the more crucial roles Congress is supposed to play in our system, the declaration of war. But when was the last time Congress did that? World War II in 1942. Ever since, they have simply handed that ominous power to the executive.
That is what we are seeing now. The Constitution empowers the President to direct and be responsible for the Executive offices of the government. Congress routinely sluffs off its duty and says, “go ahead and you do it.” And the façade of the “independent agencies” is simply nonsense. There are no “independent agencies,” there are no arms of the government that are not responsible to either Congress or the Executive. To believe otherwise is to fall into the black-hole of the Harvard faculty lounge where the noted Native American Elizabeth Warren has come up with dozens of fantasies to circumvent the Constitution.
To sum it up, there is no there, there.
And finally, what is the intent of this? The powers-that-be clearly are hoping that their media blitz will tarnish the efforts of the administration. But do they really believe for one second that it will back President Donald Trump and DOGE off? The Trump team has had everything under the sun thrown at them, including bullets. Why do the denizens of corporate media think their nasty words will somehow change anything? Spoiler alert: it changes nothing. It is just another signal that they and their gaggle of henpeckers are impotent.
One final thought. After a combined twelve years of the Obama-Biden regime, how can these people look in the mirror and contend that actions by the executive are “illegal.” From Crossfire Hurricane to Fast and Furious, that blemish on American history acted with impunity and disregard for the law or accepted convention. If now they reap the whirlwind of their own making most Americans will give a collective shrug and move on.
