2 – In Memory of Insurrection

As I write this on January 6th, 2021, President Donald Trump’s supporters are still occupying the Capitol Building in Washington, DC. Today was supposed to be a day where Democrats would celebrate two victories. The official certification by Congress that Joe Biden won the presidential election in November 2020 and that he will officially replace Donald Trump as President of the United States. The second, Jon Ossoff, and Raphael Warnock have been declared the winners of the senatorial runoff election in Georgia. Should their declared victories be affirmed, the Democratic caucus will run the Senate. 

Instead, nothing is official. Joe Biden remains the “apparent” President-elect. The occupation of the Capitol halted the formal process. A formal process that allows members of both chambers to present objections to the electoral votes from any state. If you listen only to the “liberal” Mainstream Media (MSM) nobody has ever objected to the vote from a state. In fact, it has often been used. Not every election by any means, but the Republican House members and the Republican Senate members are being portrayed as treading on unprecedented territory. It is a road that has been taken before. The Republicans in Congress have a part in fomenting the insurrection, as well as Donald Trump himself and many others. The level of responsibility of all players will be covered in all facets of the media. I intend to talk about Trump’s expectations of deep-rooted loyalty from his appointments to himself; how it came to be and why. Donald Trump has failed at nearly everything he has tried to do; yet he won the presidency in 2016. How? And more importantly, why? His term in office officially ending in the shadow of an attempted coup, a neat package and all of it is his unwitting doing from victory to defeat. He had a lot of help when he won, but the downfall was all Donald Trump’s. 

To understand the circumstances that brought us the Presidency of Donald Trump, we must begin with the 1960s. The events of those ten years have shaped the nation on a scale paralleled only by the Constitutional Convention and the Civil War. Those ten years introduced the world to the darker side of American supremacy on the world stage. Perhaps American global supremacy began post-World War II, as it was the only major economy left unscathed by the war. But in the 60s, there arose an internal battle on center stage. It was a decade of both darkness and light. It was the decade that began with the election of John Kennedy and an escalation of the Cold War. Understand that the Cold War was not truly focused on Soviet expansion; it was about the economic and cultural transformation that entrenched the Military Industrial Complex (MIC) getting in bed with the capitalists to prevent the growth of socialism. The capitalists and the MIC had flirted with each other throughout the entire 20th century. The relationship advanced to the dating stage during the Korean War and ended up as a nonstop love fest during the Vietnam War. A marriage still going strong over 50 years later. President Kennedy showed both a bias toward peace, which challenged the marriage of the MIC and the bankster Capitalists while he also enabled the Cold War on socialism. Kennedy’s brief time in office foreshadowed what was to come.
