Well, sir or madam, the answer to your question was a story I heard about the late Ayn Rand. When she escaped the Soviet Union in the early 20’s to get to America, she was shocked at how far left the intellectuals had drifted. To those trapped in the hellhole of the Russia, all they knew about America was its founding documents, its history and what they saw daily in Hollywood's silent movies. To them, America was the beacon of freedom, frozen in the time when men were self-reliant, independent, free. If we'd come so far by the early 20th century, and the intellectuals were importing German ideas via philosophy and other depts. in universities, after 100 years of teaching anti-Capitalist, anti-independence, anti-American ideals to our children, there are very few left in universities who get hired to teach what was common to all pre-1900.

So, that's how I look at it. For reference read her semi-autobiographical novel, “We the Living”, whose villains are the precursors to Hillary, Obama and the rest of the parasites. The Communist Revolution was imported here, underground by the time of the Red Decade in the 30’s. When Ayn Rand and other Hollywood luminaries testified at the HUAC in the 40’s, the infiltration was almost complete.

Trump, whose mentor Roy Cohn, is a throwback to that era in spirit, in tenacity, in anti-Communism. Although he is not intellectual, nor holds his ideas consistently, he's the best we could get right now, a fighter for America's original ideals.

Honestly, you have the entire human timeline inverted. There has always been a 1% that is hell bent on domination. They don't care about art, achievement or knowledge; rather, it's all about the thrill of the hunt and the ability to dictate power.

Within this long arc of history, there are relatively small periods of time where a set of conditions presented themselves that allowed for some type of self government. However, the lure of power that government offers is just too tempting for ambitious psychopaths to resist.

Who needs folk lore & fairy tales of devils, goblins and other creature who prey on humans when we have Strzok full front & center? And we only saw that because he wasn't as fully developed as a Bush or Clinton to hide behind platitudes all the while executing whatever dark deeds they have in store.

As for the US, a fairly small handful of landed gentry took on the British empire. It was really a bit of luck, plus France that helped us pull it off. But once the documents were settled, hundreds/thousands of years of experience in European court conspiracies began to germinate. One needs to look no further than the 1st & 2nd federal banks, and the assassination attempts on Jackson.

The real eye opener is just how many useful idiots reside on the right. They bought the lies hook, line & sinker just like the dopes on the left. Now, it seems everyone is 'woke' - look how hard the left is turning away from their side of the uni-party as well.

If Trump is successful - and I think he truly understands the magnitude - he will be a titan of history. The US might conceivably get another run of true self government perhaps lasting generations. That is, until those not yet born forget once again all the hard lessons many of us have experienced.

Sadly, we are at this lowest point as a nation because we tolerate all manner of corruption, moral and criminal.

Not even 3% of our citizens are willing to repeatedly muster up in DC and state capitols to exercise our hard won first ammendment right to protest ever worsening grievances from collective government that forcible takes 45% of your wealth every year. You work for fed, state and town gov’t class until June of every year, to finally keep the fruits of your work hours. Of a 2000 hour work year, you owe and pay 900 hours as a slave without a real say in what they WILL DO TO YOU.

An apathetic populace that votes nearly 90% of incumbents in, unfortunately gets exactly what it deserves.
Politicians only see the light when they feel the heat.

See FR handle and tagline.

"What's happened to my country?"
"Did we really elect the people that did this to it?"

Good questions.

I think it goes back to the early 50’s. Ike figured it out and tried to warn about it. JFK payed the ultimate price for it and I have often wondered if Hinkley screwed up at point blank range and Reagan’s secret service agent going to the hospital instead of the White House thwarted another attempt by the deep state.

The real corruption I believe started under Bush 41 and intensified under Clinton and with 911 they were off to the races. Trump needs to watch his back these people are power hungry and think they answer to no one.

This is the point where law and order pro-law enforcement Freepers take some time to examine their allegiances.

If the FBI will do this to the President, then what makes you think that they (or the State Police, County Sheriff, or Local Police) won’t do it to you?

Long before 1963.

The FBI was founded in 1908.

Under J. Edgar Hoover, they continuously ignored the EXISTENCE of The Mob.

Until 1957 with the Appalachin meeting, when it was finally exposed.

Hoover was deeply compromised, he palled around with Mafia figures, and was probably a degenerate himself, and held on to power by using secret files and tapes.

Everyone was scared of him, and wanted to stay on his good side.

I'm sure that the CIA has as been equally rotten for 60 years.

Hard to do when even at Free Republic we have people who actively attack alternative sources and laud the supposedly superior integrity and accuracy of the legacy press.

The Bush family was part of the swamp at least as far back as the Kennedy years.

The lead singer in this song was Paul Carrack.

Carrack is one of those guys who’s played with almost everyone important. ‘ve always liked his voice.

Wikipedia actually has a good article on him:

Are Mueller, Brennan and Comey as slimy and so totally un-American as I believe them to be?

It does seem like there needs to be a big change in the system where federal employees (public employees in general) need to be tossed from their jobs for reason.

Oh yes, the leftists when they are in power will use that, but at the moment entrenched leftards are sabotaging most efforts to fix the county RIGHT NOW and need to be forced out.

Make it obvious to the sane public the crimes of these moles and the miscreants will be glad that all they get is losing their jobs.
