Prime time television
is one of the few distractions that remains for we old folks but that has changed
with the new priority for overt violence and the amoral preferences of the young
folk demographic. Most modern movies are
also more difficult to watch and they seem to lack any moral sense. Movies that are entertaining as well as believable
studies in human struggles and exceptionalism have disappeared. Playing now on the obscure channels is one of
the exceptions, a Tom Cruise movie that strikes a haunting chord reflecting our
2016 national political dilemma. There is
a sequel of this movie now playing in the theaters.
“Jack Reacher”
rides into town on a bus without guns and luggage to help an Army buddy in a
jam with the law. Tough guy Jack cares little
for money, power or our legal system but is big on justice, a rare commodity today.
In this movie, a violent criminal
conspiracy is afoot. It has woven a
tangled web of murder, injustice and payola through the bureaucracy of the law and
politics. A conflagration ensues as the
conspirators, at first underestimating the threat his presence poses, tries to
take him out. The action explodes for Jack
Reacher is a different kind of hero but a hero that some of us still expect to
show up in the nick of time. I am not
writing to Hi Desert Star to promote a movie, only to draw a dangerous comparison
to the fortunes of we the people if we vote amiss in a few days.
The Clinton,
Obama, Hillary Democratic machine is just such a criminal conspiracy. Exaggeration you say, I wish it were so but
the dots are connecting daily and bringing the tangled criminal web into bright
focus just in time for you the voter to be the judge. There is no life that is sacred, no law that
cannot be broken and anyone who gets in the way is expendable. The power of the law is used only to protect the
conspirators and to punish the opposition by whatever means. The machine is a threat to every American, first
to the opposition and then to the very foundation of our democracy. Wise men of every generation have rightly
pointed out that money is the root of all evil and because of the Clinton,
Obama, Hillary Democratic machine our national political institution is one big
evil slush fund.
The 2016
presidential election is not about party loyalty our public policy and certainly
not about the personal persona of each candidate. The machine plays to the gullibility of the
average voter. What is the presidential election about, really? The question we will answer by our vote will
be, will we the people submit our lives and the lives of our children to the control
of the evil Empire? There will be no
return to regular politics, we, the voter will have sold our soul and futures. The people are faced with a profound
choice. Will this country listen to
Donald J. Trump?
Will the machine
promised milk and honey of the promised land arrive on schedule if Hillary is
elected? Or will the milk and honey
machine cement our politics into the dictatorship of the evil money people? Washington D.C. and most politicians are complicit
with the conspiracy, those who do not willingly participate are condemned by
their silence.
Thank you,
Donald J. Trump, you are the hero of the people whether we wake up in time or
prove our own gullibility.
