A TULANE U. MURDER CASE

         by Hugh Murray

I was a freshman at TU in Sept. 1956, and took a US History class with Mr. Soule in the old barracks on Freret across from the Bursar's Office. About 80 of us jammed in the class room, built I think in WWII, and since demolished. Soule was a tough grader, only 4 of us got A's the first term. One, Tom Cramer was a member of the Unitarian Church, as was I, and he had a friend from Central America, Al Calvo. Tom, a handsome blond from Texas would run for class president, against Steve Andry?(sp) a local commuter student, as was I. Tom was in the Beta frat, but I was GDI(God damed independent), and Al was non-committal. We were not close, but they were really among the few dorm students whom I knew. I drove them around the city a little, and we went swimming in the pool in City Park – it was supposed to be closed the following year to be converted into a seal pool for seals to avoid racial integration.

 In May 1957 we had our final exam with Mr. Soule; I had finished early and was chatting with another student on the tiny porch of the barracks when a 3rd early finisher came out the door. He said he had just gone to see Mr. Soule in his office, but FBI agents were interviewing him. My demeanor changed, as I suspected what that was about. For the draft, I had registered as a conscientious objector, and the FBI was then investigating me. In those years, one was generally exempt for the 4 years of undergraduate school if you maintained a B average, so it was unlikely I'd be drafted for some time. Eventually I withdrew that CO registration after graduation. 

 In Sept, 1957 when fall term resumed, I received a phone call from Calvo, who had just returned to NO. He had spent part of the summer at Cramer's home in Belle Aire, a well off suburb of Houston. I was surprised and pleased by the call from Calvo. "What's up?" "I don't want to say on the phone." With those words, I knew, the FBI had been to Texas to speak with him and Tom. We saw each other for a short uneasy meeting. By then I had a policy, if they wanted to continue friendships, they would call again. I was not going to bug them and beg them. Neither Al nor Tom called me again, and I heard Al had joined the Pike (Pi Kappa Alpha) frat.

 I t was probably Monday, Sept. 29, 1958, when walking on campus I saw Calvo. Had not seen him in a year. Perhaps, I was wrong to break off a friendship when he had been kind to tell me about his Houston visitors. I decided to be super friendly as we walked. Where are you going? To my dorm. I'll go with you and catch up. I was bubly, happy to see him. He seemed distant. I kept the conversation going for about 2 blocks. He was in Zemurray or one of the dorms. We get there, and almost immediately, a frat boy who lived across, their shared bathroom, entered. Al went to him. And they held a whispered conversation in the corner. I found that rude, and could hear nothing. Then Al looked at me and said, "Would you mind leaving?" I was shocked. Well, I had tried to renew a friendship, and failed. I left. 

 A day or 2 later, all over the newspapers, 3 Tulanians were arrested on murder charges. In the dorm room, they were discussing how to dispose of the dead man's wallet. The 3 frat boys had gone to the French Quarter to “roll a queer.” One, John Farrell, had entered a gay bar, Lafitte's in Exile, and chatted up Fernando Rios, a 26-year-old tour guide from Mexico. (The daughter of an owner of that bar, had been a member of the Unitarian youth group with me for a time. She was straight and married a young man and left our group for her family.) Al and another Pike, David Drennan, waited outside that bar. Farrell guided Rios to a narrow alley between the Cabildo and St. Louis Cathedral. The other two threw a few punches against Rios, but Calvo, with powerful arms, really bashed the Mexican's face and head. Calvo also took his Wallet. When they returned to Tulane, leaving Rios lying in the alley, Calvo went to some student friends boasting that he had rolled a queer, while waving the man's wallet.

 Next day, Rios died in hospital. Tulane's Dean Stibbs and others urged the 3 to turn themselves in. Dist. Atty. Richard Dowling (the same who had come in person to Woolworth's to read us the law before arresting us in the city's first lunch-counter sit-in, soon charged the 3 with murder. Many seemed to dislike that decision, afterall, it was alleged Rios made a play for Fearrell, and the 3 were just defending their honor. One doctor reported the victim had an unusually thin skull, so why blame the 3 students for his femenin cranium? The jury took a little over 2 hours to render its verdict, NOT GUILTY. Next day's Times Picayune described the applause and cheering that greeted the decision in the courtroom that 23 January 1959. 

 Though Al had been a friend, I decided not to visit him during his case. I did not want to get involved; and was horrified by what they did. The cheering was not simply in the courtroom. By chance I was walking across the very wide Canal St. on that day. I was perhaps 9 blocks from the Mississippi. Suddenly, behind me from the river, I hear a racket. I turned to see cars exiting the French Quarter (where the courtroom was),and now discerning what they were yelling: “open season on queers,” “kill the queers.” It was an unofficial Tulane motorcade, undoubtedly headed for the university. I never saw Calvo again, and thought he returned to Panama. Others writing about the case state that all three returned to Tulane and finished their education. 

 Sometime during this era, one or 2 Tulanians took a dog to the top of a new multi-story dorm, and dropped the animal. The dog did not die, but had 4 broken legs. The dog was taken to a vet, and lived. The students who did this, were told to leave Tulane, and they did. Hurting and hurling a dog was a greater crime than killing a fruit. (I don't recall faggot ever being used in NO at that time, fruit or queer were the common terms.) And Tulane was one of the more liberal institutions in NO. 

 In 1961 Dowling was up for re-election as NO Dist. Atty. It was still a one-party town, so he had to win the Democratic Party primary. In a 5-man race, Dowling lost by 6,000 to Jim Garrison. Dowling had been criticized for charging 3 upstanding Tulane students with murder. Manslaughter perhaps, but charging murder against 3 fraternity boys for whipping a sexual deviant! Dowling seemed to be too out of touch with reality to be DA again.

SOME SYRIAN DRUZE REQUEST ANNEXATION INTO ISRAEL - RT

 This artoc;e comes from RT, the Russian channel.  It contains surprising content.  If accurate, it will make the Druzes targets for other factions striving for power after the fall of Assad.  On the other hand, some Druzes already live inside Israel.  Hugh Murray

Syrian village asks to be annexed by Israel – media

An alleged member of the Druze community said it would be the “lesser evil,” fearing future jihadist rule after the fall of Bashar Assad

The southern Syrian village of Hader has reportedly requested to be incorporated in the Israeli-occupied part of the Golan Heights, according to the Times of Israel. The outlet cited an unverified video where a member of the Druze community expressed concerns over the future of his people.

Bashar Assad’s government fell last week after opposition forces, led by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) jihadists, launched a surprise offensive across Syria and took control of its major cities, including the capital Damascus. The erstwhile president has since resigned and sought asylum with his family in Russia.

In a video posted to X on Friday that features captions in English, a Hader resident claiming to be a representative of the Druze people, an esoteric ethnoreligious group, urged a large crowd to consider what their future will be like. The village is located within the buffer zone between Israel and Syria, which IDF troops entered last week.

“If we have to choose, we will choose the lesser evil,” he said. “And even if it’s considered evil to ask to be annexed to the [Israeli] Golan, it’s a much lesser evil than the evil coming our way,” the man added, apparently referring to the HTS, which was formerly known as the Al Nusra front - an offshoot of Al Qaeda in Syria.

“That evil might take our women, might take our daughters, they might take our houses,” he said, pleading for the Syrian Druze to be freed from the “injustice and oppression” that had been imposed on them in the past, and could be imposed again by Islamist rebel groups.

“We have asked to be annexed to the Golan to preserve our dignity” the man, who claimed to speak on behalf of the Druze community across the surrounding area of Quneitra Governorate, said. “We ask in the name of all the surrounding area to join our people in the Golan, and to live with freedom and dignity like our people are living [in Israel]. 

Around 48% of Syria’s Druze resided in the Suwayda Governorate some 90 kilometers from the border with Israel prior to the civil war, the Times of Israel reported citing a 2010 census. Since then, however, it is believed that many of them have fled the region for safer parts of the country.

DAVID BROOKS IN ATLANTIC MONTHLY QUESTIONS MERITOCRACY IN UNIVERSITY ADMISSIONS, etc.

 I have only read a short summary of the Brooks article in Newser, but was shocked.  Here is my response as I posted it on Newser.  In some ways my response is a short summary of my forthcoming book.  Hugh Murray

What a crock! Merit was abandoned around 1965 when leaders of the EEOC pushed the unproven theory that all large groups are equally adept in all fields. From this absurd assumption, if all groups were not equally represented in all fields, that proved racial discrimination. This theory was the underlying justification for the trendy phrase, system racism. A few years later, Eleanore Holmes Norton decided anything that interfered with minority hiring should be abolished. So, no more info permitted don previous arrests, etc. when applying for jobs or univ. or whatever. And exams where minorities did poorly were condemned as discriminatory, and she fought to ban them, EVEN WHEN THEY WERE THE BEST PREDICTORS OF HOW APPLICANTS MIGHT DO IN UNIV OR CERTAIN JOBS. By Reagan's time, tests were still given, but graded on racial curbs, to boost scores of minorities and demote those of white men. For decades anti-white male propaganda has spewed from the media, ever more govt. agencies, and universities. DEI is the most recent branding of this anti-white racism. DEI is how a Black woman became Pres. of Harvard who had written not a great deal, and some of which was plagiarized. To the liberals, merit is the enemy. This is why we spenc so much on each pupil in public schools, and they often graduate and have trouble reading, doing math, and some now cannot write their own names.

The author of the donnyBrooks in the Atlantic will see his case sink, even by the torpedoes of many who have already responded to it on the Newser site.

FORMER HEAD OF CENTER FOR DIESASE CONTROL (CDC) ON US INVOLVEMENT IN DEVELOPING DEADLY COVID VIRUS

 The following comes from RT.  The authoress quotes Dr. Redfield, former head of the US CDC, as he accuses US agencies in helping to create the deadly Covid virus.  -  HM

Did the US help create Covid-19? Ex-CDC chief carpet-bombs the official narrative

Dr. Robert Redfield suggests that the virus was engineered in a lab and the US was involved

By Rachel Marsden, a columnist, political strategist, and host of independently produced talk-shows in French and English.

Despite various debunkings, the Western establishment is still policing Covid-19 narratives nearly five years later – even when the latest bombshell suggests a US national security coverup.

A former head of the US Centers for Disease Control (CDC) is being accused of spreading fake news for making statements that fall outside the acceptable Covid-related dogma that the Western establishment deems etched into history as indisputable fact.

Dr. Robert Redfield, the virologist who served as CDC director during President Donald Trump’s first term, said on a recent podcast that the Covid virus was “intentionally engineered as part of a biodefense program,” and that “the US role was substantial,” citing research funded by the “National Institutes of Health, the State Department, USAID, and the Defense Department.” 

He specifically attributed the probable creation of “some of the original viral lines” to a researcher at the University of North Carolina, although conceded that he couldn’t actually prove it. Yeah, well, that’s what hearings with the power to compel evidence and testimony under threat of imprisonment are for – not a podcast. How about getting that researcher on the stand?

“Scientists agree that there is no evidence to suggest that Covid-19 originated in a lab in any country,” Newsweek wrote in reporting on Redfield’s remarks. Actually, there is at least some smoke to suggest a potential fire. In 2021, Newsweek itself contacted Dr. Anthony Fauci, who served as director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) during Trump’s first term. Fauci clarified that the research the US “supported in China, where coronaviruses are prevalent, sought to understand the behavior of coronaviruses circulating in bats that have the potential to cause widespread disease. The body of science produced by this research demonstrates that the bat coronavirus sequences published from that work NIH supported were not SARS-CoV-2.”

 US played ‘substantial’ role in causing Covid pandemic – ex-CDC chief

Fauci added that the US-backed gain of function research wasn’t applied to viruses that could infect humans. Guess it’s just an incredibly wild and unlucky coincidence then that the global epicenter for the outbreak just happened to take place near a lab funded by Washington in China, where they were doing gain of function work on some viruses – just not on the exact virus that happened to cause global mayhem.

And we’re supposed to just take Fauci’s word for it, I guess. We’re talking about the same guy who appeared on TV in a cloth mask covered in the logo of his favorite sports team and told everyone to do the same as though the only thing standing between life and death was a pair of grandma’s pantyhose wrapped around your face. Then he told Americans not to invite unvaccinated family members over for the holidays, despite the fact that it failed to actually prevent transmission or infection.

During the podcast interview, Redfield also reframed China’s responsibility in a way that would likely annoy the Western establishment. “When you look at the accountability for China, their accountability is not in the lab work and in the creation of the virus. Their accountability is not following the international health regulations after they realized they had a problem,” he said, seemingly implying that it was American interests that spearheaded the research project.

Again, why is mainstream America learning about this via some obscure show? This guy even testified at a Covid congressional hearing, but his position was far from audible. “It was told to me that they wanted a single narrative, and that I obviously had a different point of view,” Redfield previously said, according to the BBC. “Science has debate and they squashed any debate,” he added, in a nod to Fauci. The White House has admitted that there isn’t even consensus across the US government on the Covid virus’ origin, yet they seem entirely satisfied with the lack of answers.

Despite the lingering uncertainties, the establishment press is quick to dismiss anyone who doesn’t support the theory that it came from some random bat or other animal that some dude ate in China. The scientific community and the Western establishment gate-keep their Covid-related narratives as consensus, and anyone who dares to deviate is written off as a kook – even if the dissenting view, in this case, is expressed by one of America’s leading health authorities during the Covid fiasco.

This is the same ‘scientific community’ that largely shrugged off the social applications of their ‘science’ when it led to things like surfers wandering along empty beaches alone being chased down and tackled by cops in the interest of public health. It’s the same community that’s equally intolerant of any dissent related to their manmade climate change theory.

Why is debate even remotely controversial when there are still so many unanswered questions? And it’s not like the issue is benign or entirely in the rear-view mirror. Some people are still so traumatized by the tsunami of official government propaganda related to the overwhelmingly survivable (and now largely forgotten) virus that they haven’t stopped regularly running out to top up on their Covid jabs, which have never actually met the time-tested definition of a vaccine.

Recently, some American jurisdictions have even taken action to stop people jonesing for their next injection to treat their state-sponsored psychological trauma a half-decade later. Officials in Texas and Florida have actively blocked jab promotion and marketing campaigns. A regional public health authority in Ohio has recently blocked it from even being available.

 RT is ‘only station where I can tell the truth’ – RFK (ARCHIVE VIDEO)

Last year, the House Oversight Committee identified a “highly credible” senior CIA officer who told them that the CIA had offered financial incentive to a group of analysts working on the Covid origin question to support the natural transmission theory over the lab leak theory. If CIA involvement can’t be dismissed, then why ignore the possibility of other related national security agencies’ involvement?

Achieving greater transparency on the discreet role of government agencies in the Covid debacle sounds like the perfect job for Trump’s new nominee for health secretary, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who has long suspected the involvement of the CIA in the assassination of his uncle, President John F. Kennedy, citing the former president’s refusal to send troops to Vietnam.

Western governments from the US to France have classified Covid-related information and deliberations. Sounds like it would be a good time to reopen the conversation, starting with the public release of any secret ‘Covid files’ – all in the interest of science, of course.

AMERICAN COUP; WILIMINGTONTON 1898 -- MY REVIEW

PBS presented a 2-hour history program on the violent overthrow of government in Wilmington, NC. My main complaint is that it takes the Wilmington insurrection out of context; it fails to show that the fall of Negro power in Wilmington was the final chapter of what had been a 33-year long Second Civil War. When Republican Abraham Lincoln was elected President of the US, in late 1860, not even receiving a full 40% of the popular vote, Southern states began to secede. When Louisiana withdrew, and called for volunteers, among them volunteering were the informal militia of the Free People of Color (FPC). The Confederacy did not think that wise, and they were rejected. True, there were black slave owners in the state, one woman an owner of many slaves; but these were the exceptions, and arming blacks might lead to problems in the war.

 Early in the war, the largest city of the Confederacy, New Orleans, fell to the Yanks headed by Farragut, a Southerner, fighting for the Northerners. When local women in the city showed what they thought of the Yankee soldiers by spitting on them and insulting them, Union Gen. Ben Butler ordered that such women were then to be treated as women of ? (whores), an order that caused international outrage in Europe, and Lincoln had to countermand Butler's order. Meanwhile, many of the FPCs now sought to join the Union army, and they did. So some people of Louisiana were now joining the "foreign" occupiers. 

 The American Civil War continued, and tho our population was then much smaller, the casualty rate was higher than those lost in WWI, or WWII, or any war since. By early 1864 many wanted the killing to end, have peace again. The Democrats' party program of 1864 essential promised a 2-state solution; the North would go it alone and free, the South would retain slavery and be independent as the CSA. The Democrats were so popular, that Lincoln dumped his vice-president Hamlin of Maine, and replaced him with a war Democrat from Tennessee, Andrew Johnson. They did not run as Republicans but as the Union ticket. With Yankee victories and the 2nd half of 1864, more voters turned to Lincoln's plan for victory over the rebels, and he won decisively.

 At his inauguration in 1865 Lincoln did not sound vindictive, with charity toward all," and after the band played the national anthem, Lincoln requested that it next play Dixie.  Earlier, Gen. Grant had allowed the defeated Lee's army to keep their side arms in defeat. Shortly after the inauguration, Booth made Johnson President. Lincoln had toyed with letting educated blacks (men) vote, but he had also toyed with sending the large black population to Africa or some islands. 

 By this time thousands of blacks in the North and black slaves in the south had joined the Union Army. (n 1866 in New Orleans a meeting of hundreds mainly blacks to demand the vote. The Mayor, and police, Democrats and pro Confederates, raid the gathering and murder a large number, including Dr. Dotsie, a white, and they shot a German-born newspaper man, Michael Hahn, who survived and would be one of the few Republican elected leaders at war's end.  Elected as governor, the General running New Orleans was transferred, and Hahn was given little power; then elected to the US Senate, with Lincoln's murder, the national Congress refused to seat any elected from the South.  Hahn had a bumpy political career, as would any Republican in the South.  Also in 1866 a massacre of blacks in Memphis. These were well publicized and helped the Radical Republicans win Congress. The Freedmen's Bureau was aiding the freed slaves to adjust.

 White planters had lost their work force and their Confed. money was worthless. 

Think of the trauma for some Southerners - not only had they lost their valuable property in the largest confiscation of private property in American history, but soon after their former property might be wearing the blue uniform of the enemy and aiming a gun at them! A large number of blacks had fought in the army of the Northern enemy. Blacks thought, the white South fought to keep them enslaved. WHAT HAPPENED NEXT? 

     We should understand, not only was the South defeated, not only was there much destruction of property, burnt buildings, stolen cattle, chickens, whatever, but THE ABOLITION OF SLAVERY SIGNALED A SOCIAL REVOLUTION.  Millions of blacks, illiterates (there had been laws forbidding teaching them to read) and everything uncertain.  Thay had lived in slave quarters, but who would now own those dwellings?  Did freedom mean they had to work?  Everything was uncertain.  Of course many whites were illiterate too; and in the north, new immigrants might not even speak English.  But the South was entering unknown terrirory.

     WHAT WOULD HAPPEN NEXT?  A 2nd civil war. So long as Norther troops remained to occupy the South, there was some protection for blacks. But the Johny Reb's were forming new organizations to prevent black rule. Red shirts, knights of the white camellia, the white league, and the ku klux klan, all set to oppose black rule. When Grant was elected President, he pushed for civil rights for blacks, and enforced anti-KKK laws. Yes, there were national civil rights laws passed in the 1860s and 70s.

   But the crunch came in the Presidential election of 1876; Democrat Tilden clearly had a majority of votes, but not Electoral Votes, and the Dems had intimidated blacks in many southern states, including the disputes ones. A DEAL, The Republican would win the White House, but remove the Yankee troops from the south. Soon, Dems are winning big in elections in Louisiana, Mississippi, etc. and black cries of intimidation or lynching go un-noticed.  The cavalry is no longer there.

 By early 1890s, Louisiana had a new voting law that essentially prevented most blacks from registering. And this was happening in other Southern states too. In 1895 the great Atlanta Exposition, at which Booker Washington, leader of Tuskegee Institute in Alabama gave a major speech. In some things, the races can be like the finger, separate and doing separate functions, but on other issues the races can unite in strength as a fist. He basically said blacks should not prioritize politics. That was national news, what whites north and south wanted to hear. End the race problems.  Or rather, end of hearing about them.

 In the 1890s a case had been percolating up from New Orleans to the US Supreme Court, which finally ruled 8-1, that separate and equal facilities were legal in Plessy v. Ferguson; segregation was the law of the land. In 1892 Ida Wells went north and while away her newpaper was destroyed by segregationists, and she was threatened with lynching if she continued. My point, by early 1898 NEARLY ALL of the South had basically succumbed to white supremacy and the Democratic Party, often by intimidation and murder. Aside from 1 or 2 Appalachian areas that had supported the Yanks during the war, there were no Republicans left in the national Congress from the South, they had all been wiped out. All but the one in Wilmington.  But Wilmington should not be studied in isolation, for it was the last battle in the 2nd Civil War.

      Hugh Murray  I wrote this mainly from memory.  Alas, I have not taught history for 55 years.  I'll try to fill in the blanks later.

    This period in history is called the era of Reconstruction, and there was much to be rebuilt after the war's destruction.  But the social revolution promised by Northern victory depended on Yankee soldiers.  True, many locals still had weapons, former Confederate soldiers on one side, former slaves who had joined the Union army might have theirs on the other.  Local police and sheriffs were still Democrats (white supremacists).  Early large-scale massacres caused reaction in the North, determination to punish the South, and passage of anti-KKK laws and pro-black civil rights laws. So an alternative strategy was adopted.  Instead, of mass murders, the South planned to kill Radical Reconstruct with a thousand cuts, a guerilla war, throughout the South, targeting this militant here, another black voter there, a slow 2nd Civil War which engulfed the entire South.  The 2nd Civil War was a guerilla war fought mainly in the South,  The Southern whites generally sought to avoid major killings, for that might rouse the North to intervene.  In the South, it was also mainly a racial war, whites against blacks, while the Northerners residing there were generally intimated either to go North, or change their views.  When the Yanks withdrew the Union troops after the 1876 Compromise, the Southern offence hastened.  Wilmington was the last major battle of that war.  No more blacks in Congress from the South until the 1960s.  The "solid South" was solidly Democratic, and solidly white supremacist.

     For a modern analogy, after WWII there were 2 reconstructions in Germany, one conservative, one radical.  The radical one, in the east, the German Democratic Republic, sought to build a "socialist" society.  But how long would it last without Soviet troops?  1876 and 1990 provide somewhat similar answers.

     Back to the tv program: it is like a Shakespearean play in which the director cut Act I, cut Act II, cut Act III, etc. and only the final act was staged.  That is not good enough. 

AMSTERDAM, MAKKABIS, 2-STATE SOLUTION v 40-STATE SOLUTION

  I see that the Dutch immigrants are celebrating Kristallnacht in Amsterdam.  Seems the Makkabi footballers are not up to their namesakes - they lost the match 5-0 to Ajax, and their fans lost to the mob of Jew haters.  Sickening shades of the Nazi occupation, replaced with the migrant occupation..

Of course, the real Makkabis of today are fighting in the Middle East, and winning.  Netanyahu has not yielded to the 2-state solution non-sense of Biden, Blinken, and  Nada heads.  Remember, many Democrats called for a 2-state solution in the US in 1864, and the result would have been a North of free states, and an independent Confederacy of slave states.  Would that have been a good solution?  It would have ended the Civil War somewhat earlier, but would that have been a good solution?

Instead of a 2-state solution of the Democrats, I would go back to earlier proposals.  There is only one Jewish nation in the world, and perhaps at least 40 Muslim nations.  If those 40 really cared about the Gazans and other Palestinian, invite them to their nations, open their borders to fellow Muslims!  If split 40 ways, it would not be a major burden for any one Muslim nation to take in some of the Muslim Palestinian refugees. BUT THEY DON'T WANT THAT.  THEY DON'T WANT TO LIVE IN PEACE AMONG THEIR OWN.

  The solution of the Palestinian leaders is stay, fight, kill - DEATH TO ISRAEL, DEATH TO AMERICA.  Start war after war, if need be lose, after loss, but eventually Israel will make a mistake.  Eventually, the Muslims will win.  Then, wipe out every Jew in the Middle East. And then prepare for the big fight against the big Satan, America.  God is great!

Happily, Israel under the leadership of Netanyahu, has avoided yielding to Biden and his 2-state cease fire policy of appeasement to the Palestinians.  And now enter Trump!  What happens now?  We shall see.----Hugh Murray

THE REAL ISSUE WE FACE IN THIS ELECTION 2024

 Jay Stanley on an American Civil Liberties Union web site, began an article, probably written in 2017, this way -

"President-elect Donald Trump’s criticism of the intelligence community over its reports of Russian hacking during the 2016 election has generated a lot of commentary over what is being described as a “feud” between Trump and the intelligence agencies.

"Beyond all of the questions about the Russians, their relationship with Trump, their role in the election, etc., there is another element of this story that is also raising very frightening questions about the state of our democracy.

""An example of what I’m talking about emerged when Senate Democratic leader Charles Schumer was asked by Rachel Maddow about Trump’s spurning of the agencies’ findings. Trump is “taking these shots, this antagonism, this taunting to the intelligence community,” Maddow pointed out. The response by Schumer—who has been in Congress since 1980, and in the Senate leadership for ten years, and presumably knows his way around Washington—should send a chill through the heart of every American:

Let me tell you, you take on the intelligence community, they have six ways from Sunday at getting back at you. So, even for a practical, supposedly hard-nosed businessman, he’s being really dumb to do this.

"Some may argue that Trump is not serving his country well by not giving more respect to the intelligence community. But whether or not that is true, if it’s really the case that dissing the intelligence community might result in retaliation by that community against a politician, then the lines of power in our political system have become dangerously distorted."

   It turns out, the American  intel operatives were active in getting the fake Russian collusion story into a FISA court, and soon a Special Council was appointed, one that kept the newly elected Trump Administration on the defensive for its first 2 years in office, though with Speaker of the House  Republican Paul Ryan - a hate Trumper, the new Administration would have had difficulty enacting its programs anyway. 

Skip to October 2020, shortly before election day .

When the NY Post began its expose of the Hunter Biden laptop, Blinken, then working for the Dems, called some intel friends, and soon 51 US Intel agents signed a LIE TO HELP BIDEN WIN AND TRUMP LOSE THE 2020 ELECTION. These included the head of the CIA, and other leaders from other intel agencies. They had not examined the laptop, but assured the American public that it was Russian disinformation; worse, the intel agents got big tech to squash the story before the Nov. 2020 election. When Hunter finally when to trial some years later, NO ONE QUESTIONED THE VALIDITY OF THE LAPTOP. Let me emphasize, just before election day 2020, the NY Post published a story on parts of the Hunter laptop, that exposed both the corruption of Hunter, and presumably his father Joe Biden, the man then running for President against Trump.  Blinken, who was then working for the Democratic Party, asked friends in Intel for help.  Without examining the Hunter laptop, they LIED, say it was Russian disinformation, and they pressured the tech stories to censure and ban the story.  51 leaders in American intelligence organizations, including the chief of the CIA, LIED TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE IN ORDER TO ELECT DEMOCRAT BIDEN AND DEFEAT TRUMP!  American Intel purposely denied the American voters vital information that could have swayed the election in favor of Trump.  Is this what the Democrats call democracy???  Are our intelligence agencies active in the election contest of today?  This election campaign, there have been at least 2 assassins trying to kill Trump. Did they get help from American intel agencies?  The agencies do not have to use one of their own for such a job.  In the US there are crazies of all beliefs, some on the left, on the right, up or down.  The agencies can just let the protection down and let a crazy get through, to shoot and kill.  Is this what happened in Butler, PA? Time to open up the assassination files on Pres. John Kennedy. Pompeo, former head of the CIA, pled with Trump not to do so, for it would be a catastrophe, Pompeo said.  Trump caved and failed on his promise; Trump did not open all the files. Time to curb govt agencies that have ceased to represent the American people and instead have become the KGB of the Democratic Party.  THE ISSUE TODAY IS, WHO RULES AMERICA?  THE CITIZENS OR THE UNELECTED INTEL AGENCIES?????

Kamala gave her speech in Washington saying Trump wants to be a dictator and jail his opponents, meanwhile Trump is facing around 700 years in prison with all the Dem. charges against him, while some of his advisors like Peter Navarro and Steve Bannon have recently been released from prison while Democrats who faced similar charges never went to jail.  Former Mayor of NYC Giuliani faces pauperism thanks to more political trials.  The Democrats call Trump a new Hitler and racist.  But the Democrats are the party of racism in America.  The Democrats were the party of slavery, of the Confederacy, of the Ku Klux Klan, of the "Solid South" (make sure there are no Republicans allowed to take office), the party of segregation.  Eventually, the old message failed, but unlike the Republicans who demanded equal rights, the Democrats remained the racist party, THEY SIMPLY CHANGED RACES.  To give them more power, they got to determining who was one of the favored races, what percent of advantage they would have, and all other kinds of rewards and punishments, and throw in sex, and trans, and other categories into the pot, and the Democrats, weighing each and how much they should get, becomes ever more powerful, and with INTEL friends, do they really need the votes of deplorables, and what Pres. Biden just called (white trash) "garbage" anymore?  The Democrats have Intel, the media, Hollywood, academia, and now, the military-industrial complex, and it's favored races, ethnicities, sexes, and millions of invading illegal aliens, etc.  It no longer needs the votes of American citizens to win.  Or does it?

     If Trump wins, and/or if he is allowed to win, it will be a whole new ball game!!!
