"For regime change, which works better, sponsoring internal insurrection, bombing campaigns, or both?"

So far the state is only using the former here in America, although there have been government sponsored terrorist acts here in America in the recent past.

Another triumph, SLL.

All excellent reading, but I'll just focus on this: "If you’re of the same ideological persuasion as the mainstream media, you ascribe the internet’s ascendancy to its technological superiority and hastily move on. By this reckoning, old-line newspapers and magazines got caught in the same crosshairs as bookstores, record companies, and department stores. What’s ignored is the voice the internet gave to those not of the same ideological persuasion." The last sentence, of course, is the key!

Back in the '60s and '70s I was an avid reader and subscriber to "Time" because it was a quality magazine to get a quick fix on national and world events with minimum bias in any direction. It was mainly a factual report of current events and other interesting information. Then, sometime during the Reagan years, the publication made a drastic "left turn". It began to appear more like "Pravda" than "Pravda"! I cancelled my subscription and never went back. Oh, I would still thumb through an issue at the doctor's or dentist's office, but it actually got worse over time, not better. I noticed the left turn in other publications and stopped subscribing to them as well. For example, "Scientific American" was my favorite magazine going back to my early teens, but when it morphed into a political rag a couple of decades ago, I ceased sending them any more of my money.

The Internet may have had a hand in the slow death of some publications, but I say they started sipping their own cup of hemlock even before Al Gore invented it ;-)

Now, we Mueller investigating the Atty Gen. because he was involved with the Trump campaign. What bothers me is that Judge Napolitano sideways supporting Mueller saying he is doing his job. I don't understand the judicial system but it seems to me that we have a Fed. Prosecutor is going after his boss who Is recused from the investigation. As a citizen, I find that the corrupt going after the supposed non-corrupt is so illogical I don't understand this House of Horrors our government has become.
Revolution seems to be the only way to re-establish the Representative Constitutional Republic in the USA.

"Since World War II, the media has crawled into bed with the government; they keep each other warm on chilly nights."
I laughed long and loud when I initially read that. Even after having copied that, me dino is still laughing out loud.
As for the last paragraph, I agree that Deep State King Barry, The Evil Hag, Comey, Lynch and all those other termites who'd gnaw away at the constitutional foundations of our Republic, traitors all,. all deserve to live a hell on earth, sweating it out as they wait for the sword of Lady Justice to fall upon their weaselly little heads..
Me a mean dino has enjoyed chortle when Hanniity smiles at the camera and on more than one occasion said, "(Deep State so-and-so), I know you're watching this show tonight."
Chewing on their nails?

Having just come home from a month in Italy, where I avoided any news or discussion thereof, your essay seems like the ravings of a lunatic even though I agree with every word you wrote. I have gone beyond hating the individuals in this farce and wishing for them to be punished. I believe that the growth of government has reached a critical mass that has its own type of gravitational field that attracts the sludge of society. Since they are the only choices, we are even absolved for the crime of voting for them.
Trump got pulled into this morass because the field is non-discriminatory in attracting character flaws and that he was a different miscreant didn't matter. The fun began when the crowd realized that he had no skin in their game and was unlikely to go along. For over a century they have all been cut from the same cloth and it is just not acceptable for someone that might spill the beans to be in charge.
It is unlikely that any competent leader could or would step forward to save this mess but the discord caused by a loose cannon like Trump could lead to the eventual return to sanity. I doubt that I will see it but a fissure in the system has shown itself and may lead to serious rehab prior to a complete Atlas-like collapse.

Robert, you are usually right, but in this case I hope you're wrong. The slow torture of the miscreants seems to be justified, but the toll it takes on the guilty is just a bit more painful than the toll it takes on those waiting for a denouement. Something painful and humiliating but only lasting a few days would be more desirable .Not being a legal eagle I'm a bit thin on such procedures, but man in the glass booth comes to mind, with a really good dramatic prosecutor.

Thank you again Robert Gore. I've linked this on my facebook and mewe pages

It must be maddening for these traitors to know that they and the Coup de tate have been revealed. Wondering when the shoe will drop.
