Every four years Americans have the opportunity to re-elect a President or choose a new one. The majority of Democrat voters choose a Democrat candidate and the majority of Republican voters choose a Republican candidate. No critical thinking needed here. The rest of the electorate choose one or the other for wildly  different reasons. A few voters play multiple choice and do the eeny-meeny-miny-moe drill. Some might check out Vegas odds and go with the favorite. Others listen to alphabet soup Media. Of course, to feel all warm and fuzzy, most will side with their social pack. Very few of these people will bother to scope out qualifications, much less accomplishments. In hindsight, you remember Obama vs Romney. Obama had zero qualifications beyond his education. He admitted he didn’t believe in American exceptionalism. He embraced socialist policies and cozied up to the Koran. Romney had a superstar resume, and preached Constitutional principles and economic growth. Romney was clearly more qualified. Obama was an empty suit but he told the truth without actually saying the words — “I’m not really an American.” Romney talked conservative principles but he lied without actually saying the words — “I’m a liberal RINO.” Look at both now. True to his word, Obama did all he could to bring America down;  as a Senator, Mitt  has forcefully revealed his true, spiteful colors. You believe average Americans are mega picky about their choices of doctors, dentists, plumbers, roofers, carpenters, hair stylists and personal trainers. Not so with a politician. Except for the candidate’s family and friends and “the intelligentsia,” who can really know presidential material? At the very least, Matilda, you have to do your homework. There’s no mystery about Benedict Biden. He finished at the bottom of his class at both college and law school, lied about double majors, plagiarized numerous writings and speeches and never earned a private sector paycheck. He has spent 47 years as a politician, including eight (8) as vice president under B. Obama and nearly two (2) as president. If his accomplishments interest you, find them in the public record. Take 15 minutes. Well, 10 should do it. Check it out. But for the sake of choosing the next President, the last two (2) years would be more telling than his previous 45. You don’t know Donald Trump. Never met him. Never did business with him. Know someone who apparently did who hates him. Know people who voted for him in 2015 but now think he’s outlived his usefulness because apparently he’s disruptive. Tends to promote a chaotic atmosphere and has no political discipline. Let’s see, what else do others say? One, he can’t be elected. Two, while the Deep State attacks on him are bogus, he just isn’t someone you would call a “paragon of character.” Three, you can grin and bear his flaws because of his accomplishments, but America “deserves a president who brings both policy and character to the job.” And four, he always seems to “attract the attention of the weaponized justice system.” In other words, please, please don’t antagonize the other side. You assume these critics who want pristine policy and character are referring to the high character and policies of past GOP presidents and politicians who willingly bestowed a 30 trillion dollar debt on America’s taxpayers. Also several wars, a corroding education system and the disaster called immigration. Not to mention the cavalier rape of The Constitution. Everybody who’s conscious can experience what’s happening today. That’s easy enough. Nobody knows what will happen tomorrow. The presidential primaries are well over a year away. The people will choose candidates. When the time comes, you will do your best to avoid assumptions, personalities, fear and conjecture and simply look at proof of performance under fire. That’s what you do when you choose a surgeon or a mechanic — or especially a friend.

It’s much easier to fool people than it is to convince them they’ve been fooled.   Mark Twain

Millions upon millions of the vaccinated don’t want to hear it. They don’t want to hear it or see it or read it. Despite fast mounting evidence that the U.S Covid19 vaccine policy was (and is) nothing less than a crime again humanity, the vaccinated will not, perhaps can not, under any circumstances, stomach that possibility. You perfectly understand their perspective. Operating from abject fear, and at the advice of their trusted medical practitioners, they enthusiastically ferry themselves and their children to pony up repeatedly to the jabs. This decision cannot be undone. Something like spilled milk, only worse. And, after all, common sense tells them that thousands of people in high places, including the medical establishment, would never be party to any treatment that would do them harm. And, justifiably, they take solace in the knowledge that millions of vaccinated Americans seem to be getting along just fine, thank you. Why, thinking your government and other institutions would purposely put your health at risk is absurd, even contemptible, if not criminal. This is America, for God’s sake. This is not a country that could be associated with a plot to oppress or subjugate Her people. Or, God forbid, commit genocide against them. You could never harbor that thought, not for even a second; so lock it in the vault. Forget about it. Bury it as you do your private secrets known only to you and your Maker. And then get on with life. However, it won’t be all that easy. Because you must decide whether you should risk associating with the unvaccinated who Mr. Biden and others in the Federal Establishment have branded screwball, egoist conspirators and a menace to society. Hmmm, under the circumstances, perhaps it would be helpful to clarify what the unvaccinated believe.

The unvaccinated believe . . . .

That all Americans are sovereign, and should be free to make their own health choices.

That Government coercion and mandates violate the most venerated public health principle.

That the Covid “vaccine” is not a vaccine as defined by the established medical community.

That the mRNA jab does not stimulate anyone’s immune system.

That no one — no one — knows the long-term health effects of the Covid19 injections.

That  experimental “vaccines” should have been aimed only at those with risk factors,  and definitely NOT at children.

That your Federal Government and Health Institutions are guilty of crimes against humanity for lying and denying the utilization of early treatment drugs categorically proven to save lives.

That the collusion between your U.S. Government and the Media Industrial Complex is nothing less than totalitarianism.

That the U.S. Government is covering up the dramatic rise in vaccine sudden death and injury.

That Covid19 has broken all records for vaccine injury and death.

These beliefs are just a sampling of a much more complicated and frankly terrifying story. Some of the world’s leading medical and scientific experts tell that story in a powerful documentary entitled Uninformed Consent, produced by Canada’s Matador Films.  Epoch Times promotes the film as The Documentary The “Elites” Hope You Never See. Well, Matilda, as you said many times, you don’t know a vaccinated family member or friend who wants to see it or hear it. But you can’t rule out the possibility that an open mind here or there might be willing to question their own Covid19 bias. Maybe one open mind. That’ll do.

August 9, 2022
Anyone reading this doesn’t know him. Never heard of him. Or likely has forgotten him. In either of these cases, he is relevant today. Especially today. Because yesterday, August 8, with warrant in hand, the FBI breached and searched the Trump residence in Florida. This was a first — the first time in all of American history that the FBI or any other U.S. agency raided a former President’s home. And this is why John Peter Zenger is someone you should meet, or remember — especially today.

August, 1734
Zenger was a German immigrant. He owned a print shop. He printed a publication called The New York Weekly Journal owned by several people who had a bone to pick with the then Colonial Governor of NY William S. Cosby. During his short term, Brigadier-General Cosby was portrayed as one of the most oppressive governors in the Thirteen Colonies. Cosby’s primary bone-picker was a chief justice — Lewis Morris — whom Cosby had dismissed from a special court he had convened to hear a civil lawsuit case involving Cosby himself. The Governor appointed James DeLancey to replace Morris. Since Cosby proved to be greedy, mean-tempered and corrupt, Judge Morris and friends were silent partners in founding the Journal and systematically wrote material that exposed the Governor’s corrupt practices. To make matters worse, the paper made fun of him, even with published songs. The editorial campaign lasted months. Finally, the beleaguered Governor got his legal ducks in a row and made an arrest. But the defendant wasn’t Morris or any of his “co-conspirators.” Immigrant Peter Zenger was arrested in late 1734 and imprisoned for nine months, awaiting trial.

August, 1735
He was brought to trial in August, 1735, for the crime of Libel — exactly 290 years ago. Zenger refused to name the authors of the Journal stories, and took the heat as the newspaper’s publisher. Under English law, Zender’s goose was cooked. In 1735, the issue had nothing to do with what was “true or false.” For Zenger, it was libel to publish any information opposed to the government. Think about that, Matilda. Herr Zenger was dead meat — until a Perry Mason moment changed the course of history. Everyone in the courtroom was a friend of Cosby’s power structure except for a new jury that had replaced Cosby’s deviously packed jury. Still, since truth was not a defense, there was no question of the outcome. When Zenger’s court appointed (inexperienced) counsel began his defense, there was a commotion in the back of the room and in strode the most famous lawyer in all the colonies.

Andrew Hamilton
Yes, he agreed, Zenger printed the charges. But, Hamilton demanded that the prosecution prove the charges false. If the prosecutor could prove falsehood, he would agree they were libelous. This “truth defense” baffled Chief Justice James DeLancey. He reiterated that truth did not matter in libel cases. But in a stirring appeal to the jury, Hamilton said, “Are we to believe that truth is a greater sin than falsehood?” If the matter was up to judges alone, juries would be “useless.” He argued that telling the truth did not cause governments to fall. Rather, it is “abuse of power” that cripples governments. Finally, Hamilton turned to the jury and pleaded for acquittal, proclaiming “It is not the cause of one poor printer, but the cause of liberty.” As expected, judge DeLancey ordered the jury to convict but in less than ten minutes the jury came back with a verdict of Not Guilty. The cheers would resonate throughout the countryside.

Zender & Trump
The cause of freedom of the press took shallow root in 1735 and would not reach fruition until passage of the First Amendment in 1783. The U.S. Constitution was ratified in 1788. Separated by nearly three centuries, Peter Zenger and Donald Trump share an unusual juxtaposition. The German printer faced the tyranny of absolute power under a King, giving rise to the birth of a free press as the guardian of truth. Donald Trump also faces tyranny — by a governmental power; but that same free press has lied and colluded, incomprehensibly, to protect tyranny. Americans are the first to champion the First Amendment and a Free Press. No true democracy exists without it. A free media should allow for the exchange of ideas and for dissenting voices. Because when any government holds power, Media must be a sentinel — free to be the Guardian of Truth.

Epilogue
America’s established Media and the reigning Federal Government of the Unites States, circa 2022, lie in the same bed. That bed is spoiled, debased, iniquitous. Zenger’s trial in 1735 planted the seed that bore a rich and necessary fruit. The American Republic can not survive without a free press nor can it live with a free press that is “owned” by any governmental party or special interest. If Truth is for sale in America, pack it in. Better come up with a new name. Unless the people act, America is done.
