Dear Friends,
It seems to me, an executive, be him a her, prince, queen, prime minister or president, cannot operate in an environment where they have traitors in their midst. A traitor not only damages the executive but the nation as a whole. Because when the executive office is ground to a halt, the actually important business grinds to a halt as well. The nation therefore suffers as a result of political infighting. The faction that undermines the executive, does not simply damage him or her, they do great harm to the nation, for trifling political gain. Such people show themselves, by their actions, to be unworthy to mop the floor of a seven eleven let alone work in the halls of power. The damage is every bit as real, when done by a rival political faction as when done by a rival nation, and far more destructive.
Fraud is another way to describe and define the word traitor. The traitor swears or takes an oath, then goes against that oath, resulting in damage to the nation as a whole. It is lying in a transaction involving real value. Like, selling a cat in a bag, while claiming it is a piglet. It is fraud. The traitor is selling something other than what he or she claims to be selling… their loyalty. Fraud against a bank is simply not tolerated by our government. Fraud against borrowers is also illegal as are most forms of outright fraud. Our society has recognized that fraud is a crime that is disruptive of our economy, and thus our prosperity and standard of living, so it cannot be tolerated. How much more damaging then is it… when fraud is committed in government?
While a traitor to a nation damages that nation, the damage to that nation is much worse, when the traitor is engaged in factional fighting. This is because nations are seldom undermined and conquered from without. The advancing conqueror is mostly a myth. History shows us that, usually by a wide margin, nations first crumble from within. The external exigency that causes the “fall” is just the straw that broke the camels back. It is the factional internecine fighting that destroys a nation. Such conflict corrodes it’s institutions, it’s legitimacy and moves it away from it’s founding principles. The destruction of which no nation can withstand. Take a house, destroy the foundation, raze the structure and obliterate the roof… and what do you have?
Trump being magnanimous to Rosenstein, is like when Dion showed Dionysius compassion. In the latter case, Dionysius returned Dion’s kindness with a coup, and execution. Rosenstein will end up being the dagger in Trumps back. Perhaps Trump is waiting for the midterm elections to fire Rosenstein, but even if he is, that deep state tick will find some way, to keep his head buried in Trump’s rump. By all accounts, of the media that calls itself unbiased, Trump’s administration has one or more traitors in it. Fraudsters who’s allegiance is not to our Constitution, nation or Trump, but to the same faction that the main stream media is a subsidiary of. Trump is best served to ignore politics and fire Rosenstein immediately… and anyone else suspected of divided loyalties.
The interests of our nation are damaged when we have traitors, fraudsters, serving in our executive branch. They undermine our trust in the institutions they have defrauded, and do perhaps irreparable harm to the nation, due to their infighting. We can all agree, I hope, that using fraud as a political tool is the tactics of an immoral actor. Moreover, the longer the fraud is allowed to continue, the greater the damage to our nation. So, it seems clear that it is in the interests of the nation as a whole, to rid it’s government of people so bereft of morality they would use fraud as a political tool. To that end, Trump has no business allowing traitors like Sessions, Rosenstein and anyone else who’s allegiance is unclear to stay… they should go, and go now.
Sincerely,
John Pepin
