Summary

The web content discusses the deep ideological divide within the U.S. and how actions based on these divides, exemplified by the Sussmann trial, have led to the deterioration of unity and the erosion of truth in the country's political landscape.

Abstract

The article titled "Our Separatist Nation" reflects on the current state of the nation, emphasizing that the division is not merely ideological but is manifesting in actions that seek to punish perceived adversaries, as seen in the Sussmann trial. It suggests that the population's adherence to chosen beliefs over truth, influenced by their political leanings, is causing a rift in the nation's fabric. The piece recounts the extensive Trump-Russia investigation by Robert Mueller, which, despite its cost and intensity, yielded no substantial evidence to remove Trump from office, implying it was more of a spectacle than a serious inquest. The acquittal of Michael Sussmann, Hillary Clinton's lawyer, on charges of presenting false evidence to the FBI, is highlighted as a pivotal moment that underscores the country's polarization, with the author arguing that the verdict might have been different in a less partisan jurisdiction. The article criticizes the FBI and DOJ for their roles in perpetuating the division through their actions and inactions, suggesting a systemic issue within the government itself. It concludes by questioning the loss of common ground in the nation and sets the stage for further exploration of this theme.

Our Separatist Nation

The reality of where we are is not just a separation based on ideologies — but also taking action when given a chance to “punish” the “guilty,” as we saw in the Sussmann trial.

Those “actions” are killing our Nation because people take sides based on their ideology, not because they act on the truth; they act on what they choose to believe, based on their ideology.

The populace who take their lead from lies they choose to believe are active participants that perpetuate this Nation’s separation. I say “populace,” not in a derogatory meaning, but the sense that it takes when we are “Judged” by the “Jury of My peers.” The “Jury of my peers” today brings a new meaning.

The original probe in the Trump-Russian investigation by Robert Mueller, who spent north of 30 Million performing a lengthy and intense investigation of people (listed here by a very blue partisan news outlet), had to stretch the truth so far it was almost invisible but proved embarrassedly nothing that could dislodge Trump from office. It was a “show” for the people.

A recap of the lies during the Trump Presidency

Special Counsel John Durham indicted the lawyer for Hillary, Michael Sussmann, for trial. I venture to say, half of this country thought Sussmann was the root cause of all the angst and rioting about the Trump administration; the charge was hiding his ties with a technology executive and Hillary’s 2016 presidential campaign and presenting false evidence to the FBI General Counsel, James Baker. Michael Sussmann was tried and found innocent. Unfortunately, Durham chose to try Sussmann in D.C., where the crime was committed. The jury’s thought of this binary decision was, “did Sussmann act as an agent of Hillary or not? If they said Sussmann is guilty, then “all the Hillary Clinton lies, and all the people involved fall like a domino line.”

The WDC Jury found Sussmann “not guilty” of the charges. We know from this history that the FBI “Management” actions, based on Sussmann’s lie, are clear from what Mueller did and could not find: there was a lie involved, and it had Hillary at the top of the pyramid.

That Lie has been instrumental in the acid segregation of this country into our existing environment. The government itself split into bitter camps.

From the acting director Andrew McCabe down the management tree, the FBI chose to believe this lie and ordered their minions to support it by corroborating with their work target (entrapping people to support the lie). The FBI implicated INNOCENT people like George Papadopoulos, Carter Page[1] (Trump/Russia collusion lie), Paul Manafort, Rick Gates, Michael Flynn, and many other minor players. Very Americans, many of whom went bankrupt, but who cares, right? According to Vox, “Special counsel Robert Mueller’s team indicted or got guilty pleas from 34 people and three companies during their lengthy investigation.” None were directly connected to the original charter of Robert Mueller. At his Congressional hearing, he seemed to perform like a light version of Biden, interpreting questions and speaking similarly about his voluminous findings with a stone face. Also, let’s not forget that Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein named Robert Mueller.

What purpose did Rosenstein have in a secret meeting with Andrew McCabe, acting director of the FBI? The goal, later revealed, was to find a way to implicate Trump directly, then use the 25th Amendment to remove Trump from office. It eventually came out that wearing a wire was one of the options they discussed. Later Rosenstein, who, as his job demanded, was required to exercise full transparency, ignored several Congress subpoenas for documents needed to support conspiracies against Trump. That, and other DOJ documents of their (FBI/DOJ) spying activities against Trump (April 2018). The DOJ people in charge of enforcing the law are breaking the law with impunity. Not the first time; the DOJ has a history of doing what is convenient.

These actions are written to highlight how Congress and the Administrative branch of government have participated and are participating in proactively dividing this Nation.

For example, let’s do a logic check. If “Sussmann was tried by a “jury of his peers in rural Texas,” do you think he would be found “guilty of not guilty?”

The Metropolitan areas of almost ALL the states are blue; the rural areas are red. You can take that to the bank. However, the Metropolitan areas are loud with their opinions while the rural areas are not. Keep that in mind.

We still have to answer the question — So What? The answer may be, “We Have Lost Our Common Thread” — Next Story.
