Thank you. Sorry it’s stuff you’d rather not see. It’s just really getting me worried as people are accepting every outrage as it’s just a little worse than the one the day before. Like the frog in the pot of water, it’s just a little warmer than before. . . just a little warmer. We know the end and we’re the frog.

And the constant drum: ignore that because it’s fake, that’s not real, look over here, don’t worry about this, no, look over there. The net result is nothing is done. Ignore the people making these claims whomever they say they are. Who wins? A basic rule is follow the money. The money all appears to be Russian, goes through Trump, goes back to Russia. Trump gets to use the money to set up another swindle, the Russians (and whomever else) gets clean money and a cut. It apparently saved Trump from full bankruptcy ten years ago. Everyone who counts wins. Where the money comes from and ends up are the ones calling the shots. People in the middle are pawns dancing to the tune. And that’s the other, harder to figure out, rule: who wins big? Small winners are paid to be distractions. They have to keep dancing or their lifeline goes away. The big winners are hidden.

You tell me what Trump is? And tell me this is not obvious. Trump is desperate to hide behind Putin cause that’s the only person he knows who might actually know some of the big winners. They’re not going to let a jerk like Trump get within a thousand miles. The best Trump can hope for is a little private time so Putin can whisper in his ear. “They’re watching, Donny, just keep dancing, they know you’re trying really hard! But you don’t want to screw up now. No, no no. . . “

Funny thing about narratives. I don’t have to prove this stuff or produce three bloody knives and four smoking guns. But, you put together a narrative with the pieces we have that hangs together as well as this one. This is not rocket science. Just keep your eyes on the money, who wins big and who is dancing really fast. . . Then we’ll talk about being compromised.

We need to fix this really quickly. This is not going to get better.
