Because I Dug It All Up…
Compiled all this yesterday and today, initially because I was looking for Pelosi posts dating back to her first tenure as Speaker, which. I thought you might enjoy. But as I continued hunting during the speech I began to realize that I revisiting a truth far too few people seem to remember if they ever knew it. Our nation is cut in half as if by a monster meat cleaver, on the one side the representatives who stood and cheered and wept at a little boy dying of cancer getting a wish come true, and on the other side an equal number of representatives who sat on their hands and rolled their eyes at the same little boy.
It was not Trump who wielded the cleaver. It was the subset of Americans represented by the Democrat representatives in Congress who sat on their hands for everything Trump had to say. Early surveys of the television audience that watched Trump’s speech indicate that more than 75 percent of viewers approved of what the President of the United States had to say.
Trump’s enemies have tried to blame him for the unprecedented 10-year war they have waged against every aspect of the 45th (and now 47th) President’s family, financial wealth, political freedom, personal liberty, and even his life. They lie.
Trump did not initiate the forces that have been the nation apart by riding that escalator in 2015, into the filthy realm of contemporary American national politics. He was simply the ultimate whistleblower. He knew how much was wrong, how much had been going wrong throughout the 21st Century, and he was the one man with the courage to say, “No. It has to be stopped here. And now.” Which meant that he had to be destroyed at all costs.
The proof of what I’m saying is in the texts linked here. One year’s worth of my observations and commentary on the multiple dimensions of American life that were in the process of corrupting the nation unto death. Trump isn’t even mentioned in the texts below. One year’s worth out of 10 in which the relevant topics included sports, technology, automobiles, movies, television, music, books, poetry, education, science, economics, religion, political philosophy, major national events, and the personal experience of life with dogs, cats, and other extended family in the oldest county in in one of the first three states in our union. In short, the whole life of a thinking person who has lived a long time through both success and failure with both eyes open.
I’m putting this before you all now because last night’s speech was an invitation to take a hard look at how we got to a place where half the Government’s power rests in the hands of those who hate everything about the United States of America, including their own duly elected President.
How will you know I’m showing you the unvarnished proof of what I wrote while it was all happening? Because Instapunk.com is an historical artifact under lock and key in the Wayback Machine. I couldn’t edit it even if I wanted to. It carries its own context with it, dates confirmed by other events happening at the same time. (Dates are the only search criterion available, so hunting and pecking for inconvenient mentions is also impossible.) I wrote as prodigiously as I did, and so continuously, because I knew the nation I’d been born to was in trouble and getting worse every day.
Another proof is that I made predictions in these posts that turned out to be right. Not the outcome of every election, to be sure, but about the nation’s direction and peril. You’ll find that most of the internal links work (some slower to answer the click than others), but even links to contemporary external op-eds in WAPO, for example, come through as they no longer tolerate behind their pay wall today. The fact is that this is one slice of history in a sealed bottle. A few photos, graphics, and videos are gone, but these are mostly withdrawn by theirmown originators for various causes, not me.
One year out of 10. Instapunk had enough of a following that the domain name is still up for auction for a price of more than $5,000, which I certainly can’t afford with all the writing I do for free.
You’re welcome to share this material as widely as you want, including my custom graphics, and I’d even be pleased if you copy any posts you like and print them out into the real world of paper and ink and files the a internet cannot crush by accident or malicious intent.
Eventually I’ll probably move all this to the archive portion of this and other websites. Until then, consult it at your leisure, a little or a lot at a time. Hope it offers some insight you’re ready for.
