The Truth Has No Agenda…Part 5

      Comments Off on The Truth Has No Agenda…Part 5

As many people have seen who have looked at the evidence released by Tulsi Gabbard, the Democrats were up to their necks in activity that, at least, bordered on treason during the 2016 election campaign.  This also includes activity that occurred during Trump’s first term in office as well as the insane political prosecutions after Trump left office.

The real problem that PDJT’s administration faced with all of this now was how to get the story out in front of the public.  After all, this story would expose the absolute incompetence if not downright evil participation by Big Media.  They were unlikely to cooperate in their own exposure.

While the truth has no agenda, those covering (or not covering) the story certainly have one.  As expected, initially Big Media refused to cover what has to be the story of the century.  As we have already seen, the Wall Street Journal dropped the ridiculous story of a letter between Trump and Epstein to distract the public from Gabbards’ revelations.

When in the history of this great country of ours has an outgoing President engaged in what is considered by many to be activities that were seditious and/or treasonous?  This should have been the headline story on every media broadcast across the country.  In less polarizing times, the potential for multiple Pulitzer Prizes for honest journalism would have been high.

I lived through Watergate.  Watergate was Romper Room compared to what was done here.  Obama called in the pros to spy on Trump because they had knowledge and experience to do so.  They also had the deep-state judiciary’s approval through FISA.  Surveillance of all kinds was the order of the day in connection with the Trump campaign and transition teams.

Secret courts are always a bad idea.  The temptation to abuse them is often too big to resist as it was here..

It would have been helpful if the media told the story but the media is a subsidiary of the intelligence community.  The media was not about to squeal on the source of so much of its headline grabbing material.  Click bait often triumphs over telling the factual story.  Getting the real story out was always going to take a significant effort.

Of course, there is probably no one better on the planet at using the media than President Trump.  One can see this if one goes back to Trump’s first campaign for President.  After coming down the escalator and announcing his candidacy, Trump spent ZERO dollars on advertising over the next several months.

How did Trump accomplish getting his positions and message out to the public?  Trump talked to the media.  In the beginning, the media was all too happy to publish what Trump said.  The media saw him as a fringe candidate who was just in it for the publicity.  The media thought that eventually the Trump effect would wear off as Trump continued to expound on positions that the media believed would kill his candidacy.  However, every time they said his candidacy was over, Trump’s polling numbers went up.

Why?  Because Trump was a real candidate not a made-for-TV one.  Trump spoke to the hearts of America not according to some script built on polling numbers.  And this resonated with many Americans that felt their government had forgotten its way.

It took the media quite a while to figure out that they were providing Trump with free advertising about his positions.  Even after they did, they still published a lot of what Trump had to say.  It was only after Trump became a viable candidate that there began to be some hesitancy in connection with what was published.

After Trump’s election, the media landscape changed dramatically.  We all know that history.  PDJT’s administration struggled to get its message out to the people.  Eventually in 2020 Trump would be banned from Twitter.  This was all part of a broad effort to undermine the Trump administration.

After leaving office after his first term, Trump began changing the media landscape.  Trump started Truth Social to provide a platform for conservative messages and his own to get a hearing in the public sphere of social media.  Tens of millions of people looking for a social media outlet where they would not be censored for believing in the foundational values of America were thrilled.

Truth Social has proved to be a place where PDJT could get his views out to the public without having to run the gauntlet of Big Media outlets that are beholden to the Democratic Party.  After his election, Trump also used it to announce cabinet nominations.  This meant that Big Media had to run after the story after it had been out on the Internet.  Big Media could still smear people but they were now not the first place where people were hearing about things.

Trump also forced the media to begin to rein in the horrific lies they were spreading.  He forced Disney’s ABC to admit it lied about him.  He collected legal fees and a $15 million donation to the Trump Presidential Library.  Trump also collected another $16 million from CBS for making Kamala Harris sound intelligent in a heavily edited 60 Minutes story.  What an effort that must have been.  I believe there is another $20 million coming down the pike in the future.

This brings us back to how PDJT and his administration would get Big Media to cover the story of the century.  After the initial release by Gabbard, the AP refused to cover the story.  Apparently, the strategy here was to ignore the story and hope it would go away or fall into the nether world of conspiracy theories.  (And how many of those have been proven true?)

Then someone posted an insane video of Obama being arrested online.  PDJT reposted it and the Internet was set on fire.

Trump had a little fun while at the same time forcing the media to report a story the media did not want to report.  Now the media could no longer ignore the story.  Of course, they categorically denied that Obama did anything wrong.  The headlines called it a Fake Video, a Bizarre Video, an AI-generated Video, a Baffling Video, Unhinged.  Regardless of what they called it, they had to acknowledge the reason for the video.  And that means that even the most brain-washed leftist found out about Tulsi Gabbard’s revelations.

Forget about the Epstein files.  Old codgers diddling with teenage girls.  Perverted yes.  But what Obama and company did threatens the very existence of America as envisioned by our founders.

As Don Surber notes:

The wheels of justice are grinding. They have been since Day One. This presidency just turned 6 months old on Sunday. This is the story of America in the 21st Century which will decide whether we are ruled by the people or by a Machiavellian confederacy of spies and other liars.

And, as has been the case with almost all of the Democratic tantrums since PDJT took office, as soon as they got far enough out on a limb, the administration was cutting it off behind them.  Gabbard has announced that many whistleblowers have come out of the woodwork to report on illegal activities that took place back then.  Senator Grassley released newly declassified documents about the abortion of an investigation into Hillary Clinton’s use of a private server to conduct sensitive government business on.

This was a master class on how to use a hostile media to publicize the story you wanted to get out to the public.  Kudos to President Trump.
