We have had this discussion many times before Jog.
I just don’t things are as sinister as you seem to believe.
I believe folks make bad decisions and then things like pride and ego continue to make a bad idea, worse.
I will once again use the topical issue of Trump, Hillary, emails, FBI, etc....
I think it was not a deep state sinister plot, no.
I think bad ideas just multipled because folks tried to minimize “Truth”
As in thinking this time perhaps they might be able to justify circumventing the wisdom promised in,
Honesty is always the best policy .
Yes, it’s sad that some folks are in a position that their mistakes have far greater impact and implications, than your, or mine, on a society.
This will continue to be a problem till the end of time, I’m afraid to say Jog.
Man has never shown the propensity to rise above his own self interest.
Look how our “free press” has used freedom, to its own advantage.
I believe the knowledge of this was why Stalin, or another adversary to democracy reported America would collapse from within.....
Have a good day buddy
