Comrades In Crime

By Tammy Derouin

The scandals are never ending.  There isn’t a low which this administration won’t try to reach.  Years of betrayal, deceit and getting away with so many scandalous activities have now led to openly congratulating themselves on a job well done.  Yes, the administration is very happy with the efforts of their comrades in crime to obstruct justice and hide the truth. The administration loves to insult the American people.

Is there any part of our government which hasn’t fallen to the evil arm twisting of this corrupt administration?  The Department of Justice, State Department, IRS, Department of Education, TSA, Department of Homeland Security, Department of Health and Human Services and now the FBI, to name a few, are all tainted with corruption. Of course, neither the Legislative nor Judicial Branches have been much help to rein in the Executive. 

The amount of criminal power and influence which must now exist within our government, to be able to control so many, is frightening.  One administration has managed to heavily damage, if not destroy, almost every division of our system of government, and in such a short amount of time.  Eventually, the truth will rise to the surface.  I fear the reality of how much evil corruption truly exists will be overwhelming, even for those who knew it was always part of this administration.

There are so many scandals with so many opportunities for the press to be the hero, just for doing their job; follow the trail of evidence, ask questions and investigate.  Sadly, the press was an early casualty.  Our once free press, our investigators who sought to bring truth to the American people, is now a puppet to the administration.  They now spin fantasy tales to create a false reality.  Facts are no longer required.  Truth is no longer desired.  The trail of evidence is now swept away or covered up.  They deliver the news the administration wants us to believe, regardless of truth.

What’s the going rate for someone’s soul these days?  I don’t know how else to explain what is happening.  What kind of secret and unethical deals were made to have allowed yet another blatantly negligent act, a willful obstruction of justice, be overlooked?  I no longer recognize my country.  But then again, my country hasn’t been on the right path for about eight years. Truth is now carelessly dismissed.  Lies are embraced and congratulated.   The devil himself must have been reveling in his big catch from this past week. 

What makes an individual turn on their country?  What does it take to convince an individual to turn on one’s morals and integrity?  The forces of evil must be great to have turned so many against truth and justice.  Without truth or the desire to find the truth we will fade into obscurity. The greatest nation ever conceived will fall if we do not begin to recognize and name the enemy that is within.  

History will show that Americans elected tyranny and opted to be enslaved rather than live free.  We have allowed evil to fester and multiply by nurturing and supporting those who wish to destroy us. The poison was accepted and the antidote continues to be destroyed.  If the carefully calculated and choreographed collapse of our country is successful, we will have no one to blame but ourselves. The warning signs have been right in front of us, for many, many years.

Words and statements are believed simply because they were said in a speech. The executive and his administration create false realities when the truth or the desired outcome does not favor the party or their destructive agenda.  Those who continue to support and foolishly cheer the ruling party and the corrupt individual, who is the hopeful successor to the current tyrant, despite the obvious evidence that corruption, deceit and betrayal now runs our government, will one day scream the loudest.  

Many will feel betrayed by their party when they realize they were pawns, used to destroy our country and our God given rights.  They will scream the loudest when they realize that their rights no longer exist, the very rights that they helped to destroy.  It’s never good to blindly follow.  Once your usefulness is no longer needed, you’re no longer needed either.

Our freedom and independence are disappearing right before our eyes.  The masks have been removed and the true intentions of the administration are being revealed.  Are we willing to give up everything we believe and love?  A tyrant came to power during our lifetime.  It’s up to us to remove tyranny and prevent it from continuing so that future generations will live free.

“The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands, whether of one, a few, or many, and whether hereditary, self-appointed, or elective, may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny.”

James Madison
