I found this which I copied from this site in 2013. It would appear to me, from this, that these SCOTUS judges and elected Representatives, both state and federal have been at this for some time now. From the recent rulings to the telegraphed upcoming taking away the enumerated rights of privacy from the 1st, 4th, 9th, 10th, 14th amendments, these NEW NATIONALISTS (such as Steve Bannon and Michael Flynn, et al) have taken over:

The New Nationalist Movement

FROM:
http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/...

“Our movement will be entirely destructive, and entirely constructive. We will not try to reform the existing institutions. We only intend to weaken them, and eventually destroy them. We will endeavor to knock our opponents off-balance and unsettle them at every opportunity. All of our constructive energies will be dedicated to the creation of our own institutions….

The POTUS is part of an International Conspiracy to Launder Money through the World Banking System

Hello Daily Kos’ers. I have lurked on here since 2004, joined in 2006 and only written 2 diaries/articles. I am here to tell you that I am making the rounds today on the Internets and phones calling my two U.S. Senators from New Your State to ask them to write down and contemplate what I consider to be a newly exposed universal truth. I asked Senator Schumer’s staffer to write this down and give it to he chief of staff to let the Senator know we out here have their backs.

“Due to the current reporting it has become clear that the President of the United States is the head of an International Conspiracy to Launder money through the World Banking Systems”. He does this via his private business interests, many of which are focused around the well known shaky footing of the Real Estate industry, particularly using sales and high end Rentals as a method to accept payments of Cash, securities, or foreign currencies.

Obviously, he has many individuals who have assisted in this conspiracy along the way as Michael Cohen’s testimony to Congress pointed out. I mentioned to the staffer that I understand the Senator cannot actually SAY these things out loud as they have to be circumspect with their words and of course cannot state such a clear and concise take on the impact of the current events, but I can do so. Anyone who feels the same way I do please contact YOUR U.S. Senators today and just read the quoted words above. They all have to be careful with their words but I DO NOT.

A tour of the president’s business career exposes his double-dealing and mob connections but also the complicity of big finance

If a single story emerges, it is the complicity of financial institutions in every stage of the rise and the resurrection of Trump. For a reader who before 2016 knew him only as a sketchy figure in the world of real estate, fake wrestling and reality TV, the extent of the connivance is shocking.

www.newsweek.com/…

A Democratic senator wants the Treasury Department to hand over records relating to President Donald Trump's sale of a Palm Beach estate that he bought for $41 million to a Russian oligarch for $95 million only four years later.

"It is imperative that Congress follow the money and conduct a thorough investigation into any potential money laundering or other illicit financial dealings between the president, his associates and Russia," wrote Senator Ron Wyden, an Oregon Democrat,

Wyden has requested Treasury Department Suspicious Activity Reports on the transaction, which are filed when officials suspect money laundering, and information on who purchased the estate when it was sold off in separate lots by Rybolovlev to buyers operating through offshore companies.

UPDATE: Title was changed due to reader angst. the fourth word WAS “head” it is now “part”. In my estimation there is very little difference. And, to be clear, initially, I was writing about my call to Senator Schumer’s office and not offering citations in my early draft of this diary. Citations now added. Key words: Firtash, Torshin, Deutschebank, NRA, Butina.

Leonard Cohen was a musical critical thinker

With all the low emotions the election results have placed us some may not have noticed the passing of musical legend Leonard Cohen. While I didn’t know of his music when he was popularly topical I did find his music in the mid 1980’s and have since then decided he was one of those forces, musical or otherwise, which blow through our culture and then gets divided between the factions of left vs right and wound up as an icon to the left. Oddly enough, one of his most famous songs, Democracy, was a diatribe concerning the realities of living in and surviving through the long march toward “d”emocracy in this land.

It's coming through a hole in the air
From those nights in Tiananmen Square
It's coming from the feel That it ain't exactly real
Or it's real, but it ain't exactly there
From the wars against disorder
From the sirens night and day
From the fires of the homeless
From the ashes of the gay
Democracy is coming to the u.s.a

It's coming through a crack in the wall
On a visionary flood of alcohol
From the staggering account
Of the Sermon on the Mount
Which I don't pretend to understand at all
It's coming from the silence On the dock of the bay
From the brave, the bold, the battered Heart of Chevrolet
Democracy is coming to the u.s.a

It's coming from the sorrow on the street The holy places where the races meet
From the homicidal bitchin'
That goes down in every kitchen To determine who will serve and who will eat
From the wells of disappointment
Where the women kneel to pray
For the grace of God in the desert here And the desert far away
Democracy is coming to the u.s.a

Sail on, sail on
O mighty ship of state!
To the shores of need
Past the reefs of greed Through the squalls of hate
Sail on, sail on, sail on...

It's coming to America first
The cradle of the best and of the worst
It's here they got the range
And the machinery for change
And it's here they got the spiritual thirst
It's here the family's broken
And it's here the lonely say
That the heart has got to open
In a fundamental way
Democracy is coming to the u.s.a

It's coming from the women and the men
Oh baby, we'll be making love again
We'll be going down so deep
That the river's going to weep
And the mountain's going to shout Amen!
It's coming like the tidal flood
Beneath the lunar sway
Imperial, mysterious
In amorous array
Democracy is coming to the u.s.a

Sail on, sail on
O mighty ship of state!
To the shores of need
Past the reefs of greed
Through the squalls of hate
Sail on, sail on, sail on...

I'm sentimental, if you know what I mean
I love the country but I can't stand the scene
And I'm neither left or right
I'm just staying home tonight
Getting lost in that hopeless little screen
But I'm stubborn as those garbage bags That time cannot decay
I'm junk but I'm still holding up
This little wild bouquet Democracy is coming to the u.s.a

While I might be able to still echo his line- “I love my country but can’t stand the scene” I am having trouble today and this week finding love for my countrymen and women who could vote for an obvious asshole for President of the United States.

I would venture to say President Groper might take the line: “Sail on, sail on,O mighty ship of state! To the shores of need, Past the reefs of greed, Through the squalls of hate” as an affront to his very existence which only seems to be made of hate. Hell, his followers espouse hatred at every turn. Hatred for people who don’t look like them, hatred for people who may not be as advantaged as them, hatred for the government and those “elites” which oddly enough President creeper is one.

So, in my immediate shock of the outcome and hearing of Leonard Cohen’s death I read those lyrics and realized it has always been so in the USA. It has always been that the “elites” have ruled over and controlled the levers of power only offering the crumbs of existence to us “little people” when the times and the people stood up to demand it. So began FDR’s Great Experiment, the people being so hungry and downtrodden that they demanded change and threw out those that created it but it took an “elite”, FDR to realize what was needed and to fight against his own class.

I fear the coming Republican onslaught will destroy what’s left of any social safety net, demolish entire communities of people whose value to this country is being questioned by hatred. These haters have been empowered by the words of a demagogue, the deeds of his followers are in evidence as they post their memes and photos of white supremacy. I know that Cohen was being musically “snarky” with these lyrics but I think he was most prescient when he wrote words such as: “It's coming from the feel, That it ain't exactly real, Or it's real, but it ain't exactly there, From the wars against disorder, From the sirens night and day,
From the fires of the homeless , From the ashes of the gay, Democracy is coming to the u.s.a”

Only I feel the words must be changed this day to ‘Democracy is under seige in the u.s.a.’)

In fact I do not feel we are operating as a small “d” democracy any longer. The election of President Groper has moved us firmly into the fascist corporotacracy world in which the word democracy itself no longer has the same meaning and Democracy as an United States concept is dead.

Today I Voted for all the Women in my Life

Today I voted for all the women in my life. I voted for my wife, a nurse of over 30 years whose body has been worked over by the thankless job. I voted for my mother who raised a son as a single parent in the 70’s and persevered to obtain a Masters degree and work over 50 years as an educator, even doing some library help now part time in her late 70’s. She gave me the backbone and strength to obtain my own degrees and hopefully make some difference in the world with the education I was gifted. I voted for my wife’s mother who raised a daughter as a single mom in the 70’s and gave her strength and wisdom along with the knowledge that women have to work hard, often harder than men, to make it in this society.

I voted for my Italian grandmother and her 13 siblings who were raised in the depression and came of age during one of the toughest times this country has been through. And she smiled and laughed and raised two daughters cooking and cleaning not only her own house but her husband’s businesses and even took care of his elderly brother in the same house. She only had a 4^th grade education but her wisdom and practicality were worth many pHd’s. She and my grandfather raised a second daughter, my Aunt, who became a lawyer and a CEO of a public/private health care company which offers services to thousands of California residents who are disabled. I voted for her too even though she is a Republican and may be voting for the other guy.

I voted for my grandma on my father’s side who was a Daughter of American Revolution, our family landing here on the Mayflower and genetically related to Governors and statesmen who more than likely were puritans and settled Massachusetts by pushing out the natives and gaining sovereign over the land by brute force. She was always unassuming but firmly in charge of the family farm and all the responsibilities that went with it.

I voted for all my LGBTQ brothers and sisters who have been made to believe they are somehow inferior and have been the object of laws and societal norms attempting to take away their ability to pursue life, liberty and happiness. I voted for all the female union members I’ve worked with who seem to have it tougher at their job than their male counterparts. I voted for stronger together. I voted for Hillary Clinton and my NYS Democratic candidates so we can all move forward together even if we have a divided and strained society.

I voted for a women Presidential candidate for the first time in my life only because it is the very first time I have ever been able to. I have been saying for almost 30 years now that the United States should elect a woman as President since for over 240 years we have allowed the males to run the country and it doesn’t appear that a woman could do any worse than they have. In fact, I am betting a woman, THIS woman, Hillary Clinton will be one of the best Presidents of my lifetime. Today with a forward looking belief that we can be STRONGER TOGETHER in the United States of America I voted for all the women in my life.

This is a report about my experiences so far at the Albany NY occupation. We started the occupation Friday October 21 at Lafayette/Academy Park across from Albany's historic City Hall. We were bit behind is starting our occupation, however, the Capitol of New York State is well represented by some fine people! Within 5 minutes we had our first Agents Provocateurs carrying offensive signs. For the next several hours I experienced democratic action and participatory democracy and it felt sooooooooo good! Follow me below the Fleur de Kos for the details.
