Not to be confused with the Origin of the Species.
This scatology is a study of how the Russian strain emerged from the Swamp.
To translate into English, it shows how Rosenstein-Mueller-Comey gang managed to turn a phonied up Russian dossier into a Federal criminal case, which attempted to nullify the 2016 election.
Like, no fair, man.
A judge call this BS out, and also, you've got Nunes asking Rosenstein for supporting dox, which Rosenstein refuses to hand over for the last several months. Rosenstein claims "extortion". Yeah?
An intelligence probe was turned into a criminal probe, which is being leveraged into an impeachment. A reasonable explanation for how this happened is not too much to ask.
Make sense?
Well, if it doesn't, then do some more homework, kiddoes.
In the meantime, Dick Morris is conducting polls which asks people if they think the President has something to hide. But wait. Don't we have a presumption of innocence? No crime has been established, yet somehow we end up with a Special Counsel and a big fishing expedition.
Trump should not be expected to prove his innocence, you people. That is why I say the country is lost. Too many people think the President has to prove his innocence. Sorry, that ain't right.
The country has strayed way out into the weeds of the Big Swamp land.

Memo to Trump: Defy Mueller
Memo to Trump: Defy Mueller: By Patrick J. Buchanan
If Donald Trump does not wish to collaborate in the destruction of his presidency, he will refuse to be questioned by the FBI, or by a grand jury, or by Special Counsel Robert Mueller and his malevolent minions.
Should Mueller subpoena him, as he has threatened to do, Trump should ignore the subpoena, and frame it for viewing in Trump Tower.
If Mueller goes to the Supreme Court and wins an order for Trump to comply and testify to a grand jury, Trump should defy the court.
The only institution that is empowered to prosecute a president is Congress.Read more on Buchanan.Org...
comment:
I am pretty much on the same page. As a matter of fact, I favored firing Rosenstein and Mueller on the very day Rosenstein appointed Mueller.
It looks like Trump will follow the path that Buchanan is advising, but he shows signs of waffling. If he gives in to them, he is making a mistake.
Actually, he is much too late in resisting all of this, but he could still save his Presidency. Or does that motivate him? I shudder to think that it may not.

Special Counsel Mueller investigation is well concealed political conspiracy
The working theory here is that the powers-that-be have to make it all look legal and legitimate with regards to the removal of Trump. This is so as to make the plebes happy to go along with having their votes nullified.
Hence, the ruling class all sing the praises of Mueller when he was selected as Special Prosecutor. Yet, nobody seems to want to admit that there are some problems here.
Comey and Mueller are special pals, or so it seems. That has been pointed out already, but overruled. The ruling class sets the rules after all. But who watches the watchers?
That's why would they won't overrule the "tag team". It is a rather far-reaching conspiracy between the powers-that-be and this annoited head of the Star Chamber --- Mueller. It is a "court" that protects the ruling class at the expense of the country class. Trump has decided to represent the country class. His infraction was to win an election versus one of their own. They are aggrieved at his presence. He must be forced out.
The model for this scenario has happened before. There was a connection, it seems, between the tag team and the Clintons. Both seem to be involved in the Scooter Libby prosecution during the Bush 41 administration. They have a history together. In a way, they were made for this Star Chamber spectacle.
For this is a political prosecution, not a legal one. There has to be a law broken first, if that were the case. These conspirators have chosen a target, and are now looking for the crime. The "crime" is their fig leaf to cover up their own soft coup. There is a political motivation behind this, it is not the "rule of law", but the rule of the powers-that-be at stake. The use of questionable tactics in order to extract confessions and testimony seem to be a part of their bag of tricks. You don't burn down the village in order to save it, you know.
The use of the law is to make the Star Chamber appear above board, honest, and above reproach. We must all sing the praises of the "white hats that touch the ceiling types", like Comey and Mueller. But no law was broken, so they have to try to manufacture one. After all, justice must be served. But the justice is not for the country class, but the members of the privileged ruling class, who feel aggrieved at the interloper Trump for depriving them of their right to rule over the rubes.
The political class approves, but that is not what the people wanted when they made Trump the president. Thus, the political class is involved in the soft coup to overthrow the people's choice to be president.
Problem is, there is no way for the public to redress this harm. Both parties are involved. After all, they are in it together, this conspiratorial ruling class. Trump was elected precisely for this purpose--- Washington does not listen to the people anymore, so we elect an outsider to "drain the swamp". But the insiders are going to veto that. But before they can, they have to manufacture an excuse that will allow them to do so. If they succeed, what can the public do about it?
Voting seems pointless. The next stage could be open revolt. Perhaps we are at that stage, but hard to say at the moment. The story is not quite over yet.

Rod Rosenstein
Awhile back, I began to be more than a bit suspicious of Rod Rosenstein. This has not changed, by the way. But it may be helpful to dig a bit, in order to understand this guy a bit better.
What made me start this process was when I read in some comments that Rosenstein was fired by Sessions. As for Sessions, he appears to be a weak link because he recused himself from the Russian collusion investigation. Trump said he would not have appointed Sessions if he knew he was going to do that.
But then Trump refuses to accept the resignation of Rosenstein, when Sessions "fired" Rosenstein. So, Trump seems to undermine Sessions. What does one make of this?
Let's back up a bit and review Rosenstein a little more. He was originally appointed US Attorney by President George W. Bush. Thus, Obama kept him on. Actually, Bush tried to appoint him to a judgeship, but the Democrats blocked it.
This is all very odd. On the one hand, Rosenstein is a Republican. On the other, he is actually acting like a Democrat. Makes no sense. Not to mention, Obama keeps him on as US Attorney.
He seems to have broad support, then. His nomination as Deputy Attorney General was approved by a wide margin, which includes almost all Democrats. Trump nominated him, presumably based upon recommendation by Priebus.
How then does this help in understanding Rosenstein? The guy might be one of those in the mold of trying to appear like a perfect and blameless person. Hence, you can see him approving the raid of Cohen, Trump's lawyer. The raid was said to have been referred by Mueller, so Mueller isn't in charge of it. Seems correct and straight down the line, but...
What about Mueller himself? Mueller had this reputation of integrity. So did Comey. But something doesn't look right about all this, just the same.
As for Trump, he is attempting to do the impossible. He ran against the GOP, but he also got the nomination. As a president from the party that despises him, he is running in a lot of resistance from people who you would think should be supporting him. But they are not...
The business about Stormy Daniels fits into that. A lot of the same people pointing the finger about this would do nothing about Bill Clinton. Actually, this is continuing to this very day, as there are allegations of sexual improprieties involving both Clintons that was part of the emails that were turned in by Anthony Weiner's attorney.
This suggests a political motive is behind what is purportedly a criminal investigation that started out as an intelligence investigation.
Again, Trump is surrounded by enemies. But they cannot get rid of him for overtly political reasons without just cause. That is what they are looking for, and it appears for the moment that they are not succeeding.
But they still could.

I am reconsidering this post, with the idea of changing my mind. At least for the interim. Not to be saying that I was wrong in that the country is lost, but whether or not to continue writing about it.
Perhaps it is in the interest of truth to keep writing about it, even if it is painful. It is indeed painful to watch something that appears to be evil succeeding. It is by no means a guarantee that evil will succeed, but the opposite.
Somehow, you have to keep the right orientation. That is to believe in the ultimate victory of good over evil.
the original post follows:
It gives me no pleasure to write this. But, I have always tried to write what I considered to be the truth. No intention here to deceive anyone, but to the contrary.
So, let's just get it over with. This country is lost. Whatever it once was has gone. Call it whatever you will, but this country is not the country it once was.
Trump's goal to make this country great again cannot succeed with it on the path that it is on.
It appears that a significant portion of this population, maybe even the majority, doesn't seem to think much of the rule of law.
The only way that this could be untrue is if people got the chance to see both sides of issues. That's what the first amendment is for. Now we don't seem to have that anymore. It seems that now, if you don't agree with the political correctness crowd, you are in violation of some unwritten law.
This business about Trump looks as if the two party system is over. If you cannot win an election without the threat of going to jail, I'd say the very attempt at political opposition is going to be hazardous to your health. It is but one short step from here to political assassinations and death squads. This was the kind of stuff you heard about that happened in other countries, not this one.
I'm not going to write about this stuff anymore. It isn't going to be believed, anyway. People have gotten in the frame of mind that an honest difference of opinion is evil. It isn't about good and evil. It is about what is right and what is wrong. It is hard to be civilized when the other side thinks you are evil incarnate.
Come to think of it, that is what I think of them. The feeling is mutual. For now on, I avoid politics. If I write about it, it is only because I forgot to remember to stop writing about it.

At first, I thought this was the moon. But what if it is the sun?
Whatever it is, it looks to be sitting on top of the water.

Imagination post
An idea for a post here.
A thought occurred to me with respect to the teleportation concept that is a one of the Star Trek space opera props.
The thought goes like this: if teleportation of an object, which includes the possibility of a human being, would that person still be the same person that you started with?
This is a metaphysical type question.
That question relates to human existence. What makes a man what he is? If you teleport a man to another location, you must deconstruct that man, and then reconstruct him in another place. A question arises to whether that deconstruction actually KILLS the man, and the reconstruction actually RESURRECTS that man. This is definitely a metaphysical question worth exploring.
You'd actually have to know exactly how many cells are in a particular human body. Current estimates are 3.7 trillion. You may even want to know the quantum state of each atom in the body, which is off the charts high. It is the quantum state that may be destroyed in the act of observing what they are. If you destroy the quantum state, do you destroy the man?
If you indeed have to destroy the man, can you possibly reconstruct the man in another location?
Or is that the same man, should that even be possible? Inquiring minds would like to know.
