How easy it is to make people believe a lie, and how hard it is to undo that work again! (Mark Twain)
This is a story that is buzzing in my former home state of Montana. The newly elected Commissioner of Public Education is barely able to construct and utter a complete sentence. She might be, like so many Americans, functionally illiterate.

The author is certain that Adolf Hitler (No middle name) was a fictional construct put together by a joint force of British and German intelligence agents for use as a lint catcher for the evils being planned under the guise of a second world war by the Anglo/American alliance and their assets in Germany, Russia and Japan (Italy, you were never that into it, were you?)- Multiple actors played Hitler during the course of the character’s life- One was used as a spy, another as the public orator, still another as a liaison between Intelligence and the German High Command- Other actors were employed for various purposes, such as the Hitler on the review stand- Or the meet and greet Hitler for foreign dignitaries- There was a Hitler for any occasion- All that was required was the undercut hairstyle, cow lick and Chaplinesque ‘stache, so taken was the public by the trumpeted integrity and independence of the international press that sold this wanker and his three stooges, Himmler/Goering/Goebbels, as “real” people-
Today is Inauguration Day. I have been having improper thoughts lately (I should go to confession), one of which is that such grand delusions as coronations are necessary. People need to imagine they elect their leaders. Why we were given a clown like Donald Trump, why we were forced to choose between him and an even less qualified person, is inside baseball stuff. I don’t know that answer.
Flipping through my car radio I’ve been hearing the same song over and over again the last few weeks. It is called “Side to Side” by Ariana Grande featuring Nicki Minaj. It’s currently the #9 song on the Billboard Hot 100 and here is the video with 700 million views.
I must admit the song is catchy and Ariana Grande is a very beautiful girl from the neck up. HOWEVER, and this is a big however, despite being 23 she has the body of a young teen. A pre-pubescent looking girl singing a song this sexual is not a coincidence. Ariana Grande has been well chosen for the role.

My kingdom for a good book to read in the morning. Any suggestions? Instead, I skimmed Facebook … it appears now to be the primary vehicle for spreading propaganda, once the role of TV news and tabloids, but I repeat myself. It is coming down fast and furious these days.
This morning’s lessons:
Meryl Streep is a blueblood descendant of British royalty, and was chosen to be famous for that reason. She’s not smart, not even a good actress. Her opinions don’t matter.
The 2002 failed coup d’état in Venezuela spawned a 35-page Wikipedia entry, and Hugo Chavez another 52 pages. As I came to understand that Fidel Castro was an American Intelligence agent, I began to realize there is a pattern here. Hugo Chavez, like Castro, is/was an Intelligence agent.
Chavez led a plot against the government of President Carlos Andrés Perez in 1992. It was an illegal coup, and could have easily led to his permanent imprisonment, execution or banishment. Instead he went on to become the President of Venezuela by popular election. That tells us all we need to know.

I have been busy researching an event from 2002, the failed coup d’état in Venezuela. Then-president Hugo Chavez was taken hostage for a couple of days and then restored to power. The upshot is that Chavez was controlled opposition and that the event was manufactured for the benefit of the Venezuelan people. It instilled confidence in Chavez, its whole purpose. (Wikipedia clues us in in the first sentence with the number “47.” That is a spook marker telling us the event was fake. We are not supposed to know that.) [A better word than “fake” is “manufactured,” as thousands of honest people were sucked into it by agents provocateur.]
Vermeer’s Forgers
Vermeer’s Demise
Two events occurred between 1672 and 1674 that essentially broke Vermeer and hastened a quick and brutal end to his life at the age of forty three. The first disaster was the invasion of Holland by the French who were attempting to wrestle ports in the Netherlands away from Spain, the Catholic super power holding sway over the Protestant region. The immediate fallout was that the Dutch economy collapsed, leaving Delft in particular with holes in its pockets, prompting a mass exodus of tradesmen for Amsterdam, then the richest city in Europe.
Vermeer stayed put, having several children to feed, and he by default became one of the guild leaders as he was one of the few master grade painters left in town. This didn’t do him much good as the market for paintings vanished. It is at this point in time, if the eponymous claim of this series has any validity, that Vermeer may have, with the facilitation and cash flow of Pieter Van Ruijven, executed outright forgeries.
“Democracy was invented as a device for reconciling government with liberty. It is clear that government is necessary if anything worthy to be called civilization is to exist, but all history shows that any set of men entrusted with power over another set will abuse their power if they can do so with impunity. Democracy is intended to make men’s tenure of power temporary and dependent upon popular approval. Insofar as it achieves this it prevents the worst abuses of power. (Bertrand Russell, Unpopular Essays, 1959)
“No serious sociologist any longer believes that the voice of the people expresses any divine or specially wise and lofty idea. The voice of the people expresses the mind of the people, and that mind is made up for it by group leaders in who it believes and by those persons who understand the manipulation of public opinion. It is composed of inherited prejudices and symbols and clichés and verbal formulas supplied to them by the leaders.” (Edward Bernays (“Father of Modern Advertising”), Propaganda, 1928)
“The chief problem of American political life for a long time has been how to make the two Congressional parties more national and international. The argument that the two parties should represent opposed ideals and policies, one, perhaps of the Right and the other of the Left, is a foolish idea acceptable only to doctrinaire and academic thinkers. Instead, the two parties should be almost identical, so that the American people can “throw the rascals out” at any election without leading to any profound or extensive shifts in policy.” Prof. Carroll Quigley, Tragedy and Hope, 1966)
Bernays words, that no serious sociologist believes in the voice of the people, neatly sums up the general attitude of our leadership class regarding elections: they are a necessary evil, but in no way should be allowed to influence public policy (as Professor Quigley makes clear). Consequently over the centuries American elections have always been the object of fraud and foul play. The only time the voice of the people is allowed to make a real choice is when the same people in power control both candidates. Then the votes can be counted and a winner legitimately declared. Thus I have no doubt that Nixon beat Humphrey in 1968.
