Evil-Echo Empire Update
We cannot overlook that Trump voters influenced by the echo & the Russians brought this curse upon our land we are now forced to deal with. It’s difficult to comprehend the kind of grip the echo has over their converts, only to speculate they’re under some type of spell like a cult. It’d be like if Trump were GM or Coach of the Cleveland Browns the last couple years, where wins come around about as often as total solar eclipses, he’d still be bragging what a great job he’s doing & the echo would report how the team is a Super Bowl contender. The most disturbing (& dumbest) part of this analogy is how somehow millions in the echo-audience fool themselves into finding a way to believe it. It’s that alternative-facts reality they’re famous in creating as followers buying into every word. And what’s really concerning is the GOP cannot go on being a viable party moving forward when so much of their base are so badly deceived & misinformed. The reason the real media is more accurate is they base their reports on facts from legitimate sources, whereas the echo base their stories on opinionated far-right ideology. It’s a fundamental difference.
When echo-enthusiasts try to win an argument, it’s a lot more revealing when many of them actually admit upfront they don’t think for themselves, starting off with a statement like Limbaugh said this or I heard it on Hannity. Right off the bat that’s a dead-giveaway they’re forming their opinions from irrational sources, plus they won’t even refer to their favorite echo-egghead coaches by their more appropriate nicknames (Dimbulb & Insanity). Or the more pompous echo-fans, wanting to sound so smart, impress one & all by proudly pontificating those far-right talking points from echo-hosts as if they were their own, reciting word for word as best they can those exact words implanted in their naïve minds from manipulative media entertainers. Repeated exposure to said echo-shows has a noxious dumbing-down effect, where no falsehood, conspiracy or outrageous claim can ever be preposterous enough that certain audience members could dare question its validity.
Links below explore comments from former Christian leaders turned hypocritical morons like Falwell & Jeffress stating heretical lies on Insanity’s show. Do you recall those types of charlatans, the ones who insisted moral character mattered prior to Trump coming along? My brother called me out awhile back when I expressed concern Franklin Graham may have gotten possessed of an evil spirit, which I’ll confess my bro was correct, but I’ll make no such apologies in speculating I think Falwell & Jeffress are truly possessed. Certainly no man of God could make the kind of claims they’re spewing, as they proceed in doing incalculable long-term damage to the evangelical faith. Those of faith should renounce their leadership. Unfortunately through them the world sees a phony religion, not a genuine faith. For those like myself who’ve been long-time attendees of an evangelical church, similar to being lifelong GOP supporters, we cannot let misguided unhinged extremists destroy what we believe in.
And at the values-less voters gathering over the weekend, the crowd even embraced loose-cannon Bannon as he vowed to destroy the GOP. The values this crowd once aspired to uphold have been transformed into an abomination of hardcore extremist politics, featuring the prerequisite amount of hero-worshipping at the alter of Trump. This is a direct quote from one of the attendees at the conference about Trump….“If there were twitter then, [Jesus] would have used it in a similar way, I think.” That’s the problem, he doesn’t think. Need I say more about that quote? Anyone who bows at the feet of the Trump-Bannon duo doesn’t ascribe to moral values. Loose-cannon has been shown to be psychologically nuts, as are his dingbat alt-right followers. This week he came out of the closet & announced to the world his demented plans to wipe out the GOP, even naming names of his intent to bring down respected conservative leaders, replacing them with any far-right radicalized goofballs he can find. Dems are sitting back in glee, privately rooting Bannon on where he helps the GOP implode with highly-unpopular, hyper-extremist candidates, knowing if he’s successful with his devious plans, his actions could set up liberals to rule for at least a generation.
I’ve warned about the GOP civil war for years & now it’s more out in the open. If the conservative base keeps allowing the GOP to be the party of Trump, & of Bannon, & of Insanity/Dimbulb/Levin/Alex Jones & all the other echo-fools, & of gridlock-Teddy & his congressional House colleagues in the freedom-less caucus, the party will rightly die a slow death, appealing only to a small minority of voters largely segregated in ruby-red states. The party may well become marginalized as a grievance opposition party with no real chance of winning national elections. That’s why the Voice of Reason & Common Sense is sending out an SOS now, in the hopes we can fix the party by calling out the radicals who are toxic to the cause, before we fall under long term progressive-liberal rule. Depending how well the rational center-right can win back the party, years from now you can either thank me or admit that I tried to warn you. I really don’t mind this underlying renegade attitude that wants to replace the establishment elite, so long as we support intelligent/pragmatic leaders ready to step in & take over, not the clueless nihilistic rabble-rousers that Bannon wants who have no idea how to actually govern.
As bad as Fox fake-news & the rest of the echo have become, there’s an even bigger threat emerging from the Sinclair Group spreading their demonic messaging at the local level all throughout the nation. Their merger with Tribune is not being reviewed at the federal level with the seriousness it deserves. If we keep allowing such evil spirits to infiltrate our messaging sources, fascism is on our doorstep from which once we pass through that doorway, democracy will be permanently lost. The 1st Amendment with protections for free speech & a free press is one of the most precious rights we own, which our freedoms are legitimately threatened when a wanna-be dictator (Trump) uses a personal propaganda machine (the echo) in creating mass deception among the followers (Trumpeters). Shining the light of truth on their evil intent is the best way to blow their cover.
Fox never used to be as radicalized as far-right talk radio, but with so much of their audience having been brainwashed through mind-control conditioning from other echo-sources, Fox is now copying that same playbook including being a shameless sellout for Trump. A favorite trick of theirs is dredging up the same old Hillary or Obama so-called scandals from years ago, trying to portray them as current stories in making them relevant again, with the only intent to distract from Russia. No wonder Trump loves Fox! They’re his personal fake news source. Another reason Trump keeps lying to us through his state-run echo & trampling on the 1st Amendment by attacking the free press, is he wants to keep his loyal Trumpeters in his corner even after investigators find proof our President was engaged in criminal activity. That will work with his loyal base, but reasonable freedom-loving Americans know the rule of law & constitutional democracy must be protected/preserved. That’s why he’s not long for the White House, since even GOP congressional reps will have to do the right thing when the evidence comes out.
These articles inside the links feature insights on our divided nation, the GOP civil war, Bannon’s devilish plot, Trump’s continuing war on the media, the wickedness exposed in the values-less voters conference, & the ongoing convoluted nonsense being constantly paraded out as so-called real news on Fox fake-news, including the mind-bending hypocrisy over their reporting on Weinstein’s sexual abuse cases. There’s seemingly no end to the lying propaganda from sinister sources we must warn people about.

In many ways Trump is trapped by his own campaign rhetoric. His bombastic promises were always meant to win the election & rally his base, but like a dog chasing a car & biting into the tire, what happens after grabbing the prize? Trump has become keenly aware his brash claims don’t translate into responsible governing. His words/actions are all about politics & not sound policy. It’s apparent any of his policy proposals are 100% based on playing to his doting base & 0% based actually helping America. He makes bold promises which have 0% to do with what’s actually in the bills & 100% to do with selling bad bills. The rallying the base actually works because Trumpeters seem to believe 100% in Trump’s phony promises while knowing 0% of what’s really in the bills & their implications. So now we’re watching as Trump is 100% trying to blow up the old order of things, with practically 0% viable ideas to replace them.
The American idea was once the ideal around the globe for free nations to strive for, but we’re no longer the envy of the world when in so many metrics we now rank near or at the bottom. Our costs on healthcare are far & away the most expensive in the world as a % of GDP, yet overall health outcomes aren’t anywhere near the top. Among developed nations, America ranks near the bottom in its level of income inequality, lack of upward mobility & fewer new business formations. Those are stats we’ve gone from best to among the worst over the past few decades. The rest of the world have taken note & no longer view us as the model for free-market capitalism. The source of America’s anger among the populace & disgruntled voters stem from previously high expectations combined with that negative trending. It also stems from despite the obvious financial struggles of most of the lower/middle working class, DC has been oblivious &/or powerless to reverse the trends. As I keep warning, if we want capitalist democracies to even survive, we must fix the current system in finally adapting to the modern world.
It’s ridiculous that Trump would gut Obamacare & throw millions of especially low-income earners off healthcare, unless it’s really more a stunt to get both parties back to working on a new plan. Where Trump is being very irresponsible is in sabotaging Obamacare instead of fixing it. Taking a hatchet to a part of it could cause the dominos to fall on the whole thing crumbling with many getting hurt. There are some bipartisan proposals out there that more responsible politicians have carved together, but it’s the far-right & the echo which beat back on such sensible plans. Without a viable alternative & should Trump dismantle what we already have, this will become a big political loser for Trump & the GOP. Our prez claimed today Obamacare is dead, so now he owns it as millions are going to be thrown from the rolls.
In his unprecedented bungling, here’s another curious habit of Trump’s. Whether it’s taxes, healthcare, Iran or other complexities, he’s always passing the buck to Congress. Then when a divided/polarized Congress can’t come to an agreement, Trump & the echo always place the blame on them. Politically that plays to his base, but it’s abdicating his leadership. Trump actually told a values-less crowd he’s way ahead of schedule. I agree he’s way ahead of schedule in NOT getting any major legislative victories because his proposals were flawed. He’s way ahead of schedule in ruining America’s reputation around the world. And he’s certainly way ahead of schedule in tearing our nation apart. I can’t deny Trump does have some good intentions in wanting to fix our problems, but he lacks the understanding of the issues enough to know what to do. His cluelessness is revealed every time he tries to sell his own bills when he doesn’t know the details what’s in there.
Then we have far-right extremist nutjob Rep. Meadows, who heads the crackpot caucus, blaming RINO’s for not getting anything done, when it’s really his own group’s deranged radicalism which is responsible for gumming up the works in Congress. When they push fanatically hardcore positions which are overwhelmingly unpopular with the public overall, where their ideas are indefensible & cannot be sold logically to the people, that IS the reason bills don’t get passed. Meadows, Bannon, Insanity & anyone else connected to the crazy echo & their scorched-earth agenda, it’s flabbergasting they are able to convince their adoring fans that others are to blame for their own indiscretions, sort of like the guy pulling the trigger blaming the murder on the person standing next to him since they failed to stop him.
Feast on the variety of topics in the links below, with the first few links describing workers are getting so taken advantage of in our current system, without a fix free-market capitalism itself could be jeopardized. Then there’s several links with Trump lying about his tax plan, his awkward press conference today with Mitch, his sabotaging our current healthcare system & his horrendous effort leading the Puerto Rican relief effort, with some areas still without water & Trump’s fumbling mismanagement is directly complicit in unnecessary deaths. After gun control, the last links explain how Dems, not just the GOP, are lacking big ideas which can really make an impact in reviving the middle class & battered American Dream. The energy & creative ideas are coming from the far-left, but their plans are more based on governmental benefits, which translates into more government control & leans more socialist, tending to rob people of their individual independence & initiative. But at this point we should be open to any fresh new ideas regardless of which party they come from. And we should demand of our leaders from all persuasions to start working together. Those who adhere to tribal loyalties on either the far-right or far-left are trapping themselves in a box & deferring to an abhorrent departure from practical positions the majority can back.

I heard Charlie Sykes describe Insanity Hannity as dumb as a bag of rocks….
In recognition of Charlie’s assessment which is rather accurate, we want to honor Insanity with a song. I ask that you please take liberties with the chorus, singing along by changing the lyrics to Dumber than a Rock. My apologies to Alan Colmes (RIP) for everything I said about you two decades ago. You were actually by far the smart one. Of course, that was before his TV partner lost his sanity….
