Last week’s historical election was a great accomplishment, but it is only the first step in reclaiming our nation and re-establishing a government which is truly of, by, and for We The People.  Our job is not done.

In the midst of the Great Depression of the 30s, several titans of American industry approached General Smedley Butler in hopes that he would be willing to lead a military overthrow of the U.S. government.  These men – including Prescott Bush – were traitors by every definition of the word, literal and figurative.

Instead of cooperating, General Butler reported the plot to FDR; however, since the cooperation of these rich and powerful men was needed for the passage of the desperately needed New Deal, he struck a deal with them rather than prosecuting: if they dropped all political opposition to his plan, he would not have them charged, and their crimes would be swept under the rug.  It was a politically expedient, understandable, practical decision. However, it also left the avarice-driven criminals running free amongst us. Prescott Bush was elected to the U.S. Senate, and here we are.

Richard Nixon did not get away with his “if the President does it, it’s not illegal” modus operandi, but he was pardoned, the full truth will never be known, and far too many guilty parties were never held accountable. They were left free to become operatives in future administrations, and here we are.

While the much-loved, charming and well-meaning (but ill-equipped) Ronald Reagan smiled for the cameras, a shadow government wheeled and dealed, arranged for the overthrow of duly democratically elected leaders of other countries when they refused to play ball with ours, and even equipped and funded TERRORISTS in South America and the Middle East. Most were pardoned, left free to rise to positions of power again, and here we are.
