Who Runs Things?

I wrote this in 2016 about the Steele Dossier. Considering the revelations about FTX and the Twitter Files, it’s just as relevant today.

When Barack Obama was president of the United States of America, I was afraid, but not of Obama the individual. Neither his party, nor his ideology – mundane Leftism – nor even his spiritual beliefs whether it was Black Liberation Theology or crypto-Islam or covert atheism – were fear-inducing to me. I was afraid of what his candidacy and, subsequently, his presidency represented. There are lists and lists of the former president’s violations of the US Constitution, but those are mostly gratuitous to my point. Remember this?

After writing twice about the deliberate decision by the Barack Obama campaign to avoid validation checks on credit-card contributions [via the campaign website], I’ve heard from a number of people in the credit-card industry on how this works.  Two explanations in particular explain the depth of deliberation and deception involved in disregarding address and security-code verification.  The first explains that Team Obama probably didn’t just opt out of using these verification processes, but more likely rewrote the code on their site to bypass them.

That was during the 2008 campaign. It worked so well that the reelection campaign did it again in 2012. Of course, the most of the mainstream media entities yawned about it. But that’s still not the point.

The point is that VISA, Mastercard, etc. ignored it.

These conglomerates were willing to do anything - including allowing their own safeguards to be bypassed - to get Barack Obama into the Oval Office. Because they could. Because what are you going to do about it?

So, when that level of political and financial fraud gets ignored, is it really a surprise that the same partisans got cocky with this Steele dossier [sic]?

This kind of thing will happen again, you know, regardless of party label. Because they can. Because what are you going to do about it? That last part especially relevant. Such fraudsters know that there will be no real legal ramifications for this, though there will be scapegoats in the next episode of Who Runs The World - and like any good spear-carrier, these scapegoats will obediently trot out into the wilderness.

I feel as though we have been living in a house infested with termites for decades. Centuries? It has to be God’s grace that keeps it standing.
