Rush Limbaugh is Wrong – Alabama is Not McConnell -vs- Bannon, It’s Bigger…

The Last Refuge ^ | November 14, 2017 | sundance

[Bratch]

CTH has attempted to stay away from talking about the Alabama ‘clown show‘, all of it, since we made our position clear long before the primary run-off race.  Play stupid games, win stupid prizes etc.

My concern with the Alabama mess was a very simple MAGA issue: riding horses to polling stations does not establish a connection to the man or woman who hit the necessary alarm clock at 5:15am to pay the bills.  Those are MAGA people. That’s the essence of the Trump coalition.

The MAGA coalition I know has never been predisposed to racism, sexism, nativism, or any other kind of “ism” or “ist”, because we’ve never been not busy. It takes time to give a rats-ass about bathroom police, social justice etc. Time and energy for that, who has it?

The current position of the epic fiasco was/is entirely predictable…. warnings, deaf ears, blah-blah-blah; water under the bridge.  That said, the current race to the exits by all of the fly-by-nights (populist wallflowers) is embarrassing to see play out.

Factually, I feel sorry for Mr. and Mrs. Roy Moore… However, I don’t have a smidgen of sympathy for the noob-right financial opportunists: Steve Bannon, Laura Ingraham, Sebastian Gorka et al, or the political Roberts-The-Bruce: Ted Cruz, Mike Lee etc. Heck, I’m still waiting for the ‘Use El Chappo Money to Build The Wall‘ bill…  I digress.

So why engage now?  Well, today Rush Limbaugh weighs in in using the customary (passive aggressive/mamet principle) approach to frame the argument as: “The Roy Moore Soap Opera is Really About McConnell -vs- Bannon”. No, no it’s not.

I understand the frame of reference, why Limbaugh views it that way, but that’s not an accurate assessment.

The UniParty is against Roy Moore, not just simply Mitch McConnell and the professional political apparatus within the GOP elitist class.  Things are not what they were in 2014.

In 2014 such a Limbaugh framework would be accurate (though the GOPe cat had his tongue back then).  Indeed, during the 2014 Thad Cochran -vs- Chris McDaniel race the current perspective of Limbaugh would have been accurate.  But that was then, this is now 2017.

In 2014 there were billions worth of personal and party indulgences at stake; in 2017 there are trillions of UniParty indulgences at stake.

In 2014 Mitch McConnell was trying to use Thad Cochran to defeat the Tea party.  In 2017 the entire apparatus of the DC system is trying to use Alabama to defeat the existential risk that is Donald Trump.

If ‘political strategist’ Steve Bannon, or ‘political thinker’ Rush Limbaugh, were half as smart as they say they are, they’d chip in buy a vowel, get a clue and see that.

This is no longer small enough for individual personalities, this is a much bigger zero-sum outcome battle albeit with useful side-benefits in smacking Bannon’s ego down to size etc.  Which, in all honesty, speaking as a person on the same side while watching the idiots on our team giving the enemy ammunition, would not be a bad thing – AT ALL.

Domestic DC battles are to billions what multinational UniParty battles are to trillions.   Alabama is bigger than McConnell or Bannon.  Alabama is now as much about NAFTA, China, renegotiated trade deals, geopolitical alliances and Saudi Arabia, and the trillions swirling around via multinational corporate interests.

The swamp is engaged, self-aware and the deep-state part is self actuated now.  Instructions are no longer needed.  Each cell can operate independently to protect itself from any confrontation.  Thus the arguments are bigger; every angle is weighed as does it improve position, or does it weaken position… way-points are transparent. Globalists don’t need to give direction in feet or inches, the battle is much bigger, more broad – the decisions are about “generalized direction”.

Example: NAFTA Round #5 (Mexico) begins this week:  “lest trade disputes create friction with NAFTA-supporting Republican lawmakers.”

Example: “Republicans” control all senate hearings:

For the first time in over 40 years - the Senate today examined a president's unchecked authority to launch a nuclear strike @NBCNightlyNews

  — Andrea Mitchell (@mitchellreports) November 14, 2017

Example: Remember when the Senate voted unanimously to block President Trump from making recess appointments?   That rule required “unanimity”, a single Republican senator could block the Senate from handcuffing President Trump.  Not a single Republican broke ranks.

The professional political class in DC, the UniParty, is not confronting Steve Bannon though he’d probably like to make money off that outlook. The united political apparatus is confronting something far more consequential than the annoyance that Bannon represents; they are confronting the framework of ‘America First’.

That bigger dynamic is what’s adverse to their interests.  Bannon is an annoying gnat.

When you accept that difference you are then prepared to ask yourself the question(s):

♦What would/will the professional apparatus do to protect their interests?

♦How far are they willing to go to oppose anything that appears adverse to those interests?

“Christmas Yearbooks”?

Written in two sets of handwriting?

Using two different inks?

Uh huh.

Go read about a republican operative named Harvey Leroy “Lee” Atwater, and how he trained a young protege’ named Karl Christian Rove in political warfare against other republicans.

Remember, from the Uniparty’s perspective they have nothing to lose in Alabama by getting caught making crap up.  They were going to lose the race anyway…. so why not pull out the black arts.   It’s simply how they roll.

 

ps. Friends in Alabama, you must fight like an insurgency.

There isn’t one.

But there is one that is not in color, where it was copied in gray scale.

Humm, needs further analysis by an expert. Even if it is a camera glitch it is an odd one.

Camera glitch ????

Of what sort?

Doesn’t make sense.

[jobim]

In what context are you saying this?

[gnickgnack2]

LMFAO...

Your FA? What about HIS FA?

[mad_as_he$$]

Lens flare or delamination of optical components. That said without access to the original who knows.

I have you seen one where the ink is the same color?

You mean the one that CNN fudged with?

Nah!

Just standard Glo All-Red fraud.

[Pelham]

There are two colors of ink in the pic SunkenCiv posted.

Plus there’s the ‘DA’ appended to ‘Moore’, exactly how it appeared on Deborah Gibson’s 1999 divorce decree, when Judge Moore’s secretary Delbra Adams initialed the signature stamp that she used on the papers.

Gibson screwed up and included the DA when she copied Moore’s signature from her divorce papers onto her yearbook. That’s why the forgery is obvious.

Check out this little fact from TheCipher

Interesting revelation about the signature in the yearbook and where it probably came from.
Turns out Moore was the judge who ruled against Nelson in her divorce case and the signature is exactly how it was on his ruling - explains the D.A. ( which Nelson has ).
Nelson also said she never had contact with him since the "incident"and failed to mention he was the judge in her divorce case.

Guess again !

Here's an excerpt from Rush Limbaugh's Radio Show:

The Swamp Demands Conformity
Nov 15, 2017

...
RUSH: Here’s Mark in Port Townsend — where’s Port Townsend ?
Port Townsend what?

CALLER: That’s a little bit west of Seattle.

RUSH: In Washington.
Okay. Great to have you with us.
How you doing, sir ?

CALLER: I’m doing great, sir.
I hope you’re doing well yourself.

RUSH: I am under siege today, Mark.
I’m under siege.
The Drive-By Media is after me because I dared to point out that Roy Moore used to be a Democrat.

CALLER: That’s why you get paid the big bucks.
I’m envious of you.

RUSH: (laughing).

CALLER: So the comment I wanted to make was that as a retired law enforcement officer, Jeff Sessions —
I’m speaking as a retired law enforcement officer
— Jeff Sessions says he doesn’t see any reason to doubt these girls’ word.
Well, I see a really good reason.
None of these girls have been put under oath and made a sworn statement under penalty of perjury.
And Gloria Allred should be able to tell you
that is the first thing you do when you get a client,
you depose them and you get their statement on the record,
and then you go from there.
And if they’re not willing to make a sworn statement, that sounds really fishy to me.

RUSH: I take it you don’t believe the women
or you just don’t have enough information yet to make a determination ?

CALLER: You don’t have enough information to make a determination,
but speaking as an ex-cop, I find it fishy that nobody has made a sworn statement.
And about that yearbook thing,
you know, when I was in uniform at a certain time of year
you’d get kids walking up to you all the time wanting you to sign their yearbook.
“Hey, Officer Mark, sign my yearbook.”
And I was only a cop.
Can you imagine how politicians get kids wanting —
doesn’t mean you remember all of them.

RUSH: Hang on.
On the yearbook stuff, folks, for those of you who may not be up to speed on this —
and I doubt there are very many of you
— there are allegations that some of these autographs in yearbooks are forged.
There are conservative blog sites claiming to have evidence by virtue of side-by-side comparison
that somebody other than Judge Moore signed some of these things.
This is the first I’ve mentioned that.
I’m just reacting to you bringing up the yearbooks.

You’re upset with Jeff Sessions.
He’s the attorney general, and he is going ahead and acknowledging that
he believes witnesses before anybody’s been put under oath,
and you think that’s a little unprofessional, right ?

CALLER: It sounds to me like he’s just trying to tread carefully.

RUSH: Well, look, this is politics.
It has its own court, and it’s not a court of law.

CALLER: But these girls are making public statements —

RUSH: They are women.
They are women.

CALLER: Okay, they’re making public statements impugning somebody’s honor.
And somebody with responsibility needs to explain to them,
if you’re gonna besmirch somebody, you gotta put it on the record.

RUSH: No, you don’t.
Only in court.
And this is not in court.
This is in politics.

CALLER: I understand it’s politics,
but Gloria Allred should know what the law is.

RUSH: I’m sure she does.
That’s why she’s not in court and is instead on TV.

CALLER: I just want to make that point, Rush.
Thank you.

RUSH: I’m glad you called, Mark.
Folks, I have to tell you,
I’m having a little fun with this.
No, don’t misunderstand here,
but he’s exactly right, but of course that doesn’t —
there’s a whole different inertia and movement now that is taking place in the world of politics,
and there is no room for doubt.
I mean,
the guy did it, you don’t disbelieve the women.
I mean, that’s something you must subscribe to now.
The women don’t lie,
except if you’re Juanita Broaddrick,
then of course…
that’s the point.

BREAK TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: I was having fun with the caller and his obvious consternation
by confusing what happens in politics with what happens in the law,which is ironic,
because the laws are written by these people.
But what happens there
apparently the law doesn’t matter first and foremost.
Find it funny.

BREAK TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: Steve in Rochester, Minnesota.
Great to have you with us, sir.
How are you ?

CALLER: Hey, good.
Thanks, Rush. Dittos.
I’ve been listening since 1991.
So I was reading through a Fox News story on the various senators,
Republican senators and their comments about this whole situation,
and I read read ’em one after another; there were many.
And I was thinking as I got most of the way through it,
this sounds a lot like your media montages, vis-a-vis gravitas,
that I often hear on your show.
The similarities were striking in what they said.
And it was an observation that led me to think that
this is really a coordinated attack.
And I think that should be the focus, not the “he said, she said,”
but the fact that
this guy’s being attacked by the establishment, big time.

RUSH: Let me put it to you another way in the form of a question.
Interesting observation, by the way, that you,
in reading and listening to all of the different people opposing Judge Moore,
they’re all saying the same thing, is that your point ?
Just like when Cheney was mentioned as the potential vice presidential nominee for George W. Bush,
about 85 media people all said,
“That’s gravitas.
This is to provide gravitas.”
They all had that word.
You think the same thing’s happening here with the response to Judge Moore ?

CALLER: Yes.
Exactly.

RUSH: Okay.
So do you think —
let me just ask you point-blank
— do you think that, whether he did it or not, he’s being railroaded ?

CALLER: Yes.

RUSH: Interesting.

CALLER: Yep. I think this is a coordinated attack,
and what spurred me to think this
was your comments yesterday about Mitch McConnell attacking Bannon’s choice.
And I thought
how else could you do this ?
Here we are a month away from the election.

RUSH: Let me tell you something.
I don’t think there’s any doubt here.
When Bannon went public and said that
Judge Moore was the first of many candidates they’re gonna support
in order to oust the Republican leadership,
I don’t think there’s any question here that McConnell’s reacting to that.

Let me just ask you this.
Have any of you ever,
do you ever remember Mitch McConnell or the Republican leadership ever going after a Democrat
the way they’re going after — (interruption)
You don’t remember.
You don’t remember McConnell ever going after a Democrat the way they’re going after …

[rolling_stone]

who the heck is Deborah Gibson?

[Pelham]

“who the heck is Deborah Gibson?”

She is one of Moore’s accusers, but she’s not the one I meant, which is Beverly Young Nelson. Not to be confused with Leigh Corfman, the alleged 14 yr old.

[rolling_stone]

she “accused” him of dating her for 2 or three months...and kissing her twice.
nothing more

http://www.al.com/news/index.ssf/2017/11/_one_of_roy_moores_accusers_wo.html

[Pelham]

I know what the accusations are, I just get their names mixed up.

The whole thing is a transparent political hatchet job, probably run by Team McConnell rather than the Democrats.

Moore has been running for office for 40 years and he’s been in the news most of that time. If he was involved in scandal his foes would have dug it up years ago.
