Hello Sir, December 19, 2016
Mostly wanted to thank-you for your 8 years of service as Prez (as well as your earlier years in Public Office).
I'm a life-long Democrat from Arlington (luckily attended JFK's inaugural speech on my 7th Birthday - though didn't comprehend it's import til later) who has been an active ACDC volunteer since the Dukakis campaign. I worked on your 2 campaigns as well as Hillary's and did some data entry in the "correspondence" room of Bill Clinton's transition & first month of office before returning to grad school at Howard where I completed my Doctorate in Physical BioCHEMISTRY (2nd time 'round after leaving U Minn when Reagan threatened survival of our species with "limited Nuclear War" - not unlike the nut-job about to besmirtch Casablanca again).
To be honest, I had concerns about your "Moderate mid-west" descriptor and frankly have not agreed with all your international affairs decisions. Especially the lack of demanding a true election in Afghanistan when Hamid continued to divide that land through his incompetence and corruption. Also your lack of action to assist the Patriots of Syria (like the Free Syrian Army) which, along with fascist Russian and Persian interference has led to such disaster in Aleppo, etc.
One of my base principles is Human Rights, which is why I'm such an ardent Jeffersonian Democrat, and which I believe is an essential foundation for survival of our species after Hiroshima, Nagasaki and Ed Teller's insane increase of extinctive weapons to thousands of such, each a thousand times more powerful than the only ones ever actually used. So I implore you to do what is possible for the long-suffering innocents of Syria who (like Eisenhower's victims in Hungary, or Bush's victims of the Chaldeans in Iraq) apparently foolishly put their faith/lives in the moral support of Western civilization only to be left to die in the streets.
Another glaring horror of the moment is of course the Rohinga (sp ?) of Burma caught between the good intentions of Aung Soo Chi and the
evil military of that other long-suffering land.
Finally, (so much praise from a good friend, eh?) I truely hope you take appropriate action regarding the Senate Torture Report. That is to either make it public (which may have helped the Democrats win the so-called "election" just foistered upon us) or at least to allow your own Executive branch officials with clearance to even READ it !!!
BTW Sir, when did the constitution get amended to allow the KGB and FBI determine who our President is ??? Could you not have fired Comey after he colluded with those two Treasonous agents from New York City who witheld the "Smoking Gun" email concern for 3 weeks which had NO SMOKE and NO GUN ???
BTWW Has anyone yet researched how many times a so-called President Chump has to LIE before it's considered a "High Crime or Misdemeanor"; and or how many women he has to MOLEST before the certain Impeachment hearings can commence ?? (assuming his "on the job training" doesn't extinct us before we survive that long??)
Best of luck, Sir; I fear we will ALL need it !!!!!!!!!
BTWWW I could write 10 pages of complements for all your excellent works, accomplishments etc. and note that if you had an actually legitimate congress to deal with as opposed to the crap you were saddled with whose ONLY goal was to PREVENT you getting anything done - like a FULL stimulus package that would have had the economy fully restored by now, or an even better health plan or even, imagine the ability to nominate a Supreme Court Judge like a DOZEN previous Presidents have done in their last year. As a law Professor you must feel about as disgusted with the corrupt level the right wing has dragged this country down to as I. Remember there are options which conform to Jeffersonian Democracy a lot closer than "Republican-ized America" like the nascent "United State of Europe" !!!
Apparently hopeless just now, kinda like when Ben Franklin was a young man concerning what would be (and is now extinct) the U.S.A.

The 2017 Virginia Commonwealth Election November 5th, 2017 or
THE ALIEN's fake news "Presidency" = BOGUS
which, after his impeachment, trial & imprisonment will NOT be seen as any more legitimate than Nixon's so-called re-election. "Alien" in the sense of a creature who's words and actions bear little resemblance to decent, intelligent citizens of the country/planet/species. This enemy of Jeffersonian democracy, now has a clone/puppet named Gillespie who is seeking to further pervert what's left of constitutional rule in our commonwealth after decades of Gerry-mandered districts which guarantee that the people are NOT fairly represented.
I have sent along with this year's analysis regarding the elections in Virginia my essay from a year ago bemoaning the failings of the '16 Election process because, unfortunately almost every point I made then is still most relevant today. However, even more emphasis should have been put on the Kremlin's cyber-attack which completely perverted & de-legitimized our so-called election, the proof of which is now coming to light thanks to ~ 20 Intelligence agencies (U.S. ones that is) and special counsel Mueller's Justice Department investigation.
A major bit of this elections' "fake news" deception seems to have been the inverted ad put out claiming that treating the latest wave of Immigrants like any real Christian should (the Hispanics lured here by greedy businessmen who preferred them to shelling out the wages to employ citizens), that is; "giving succor to the destitute immigrant" somehow empowers gangs like MS13. In truth, driving the very sources of information regarding crime in a local community AWAY from trusting authorities is exactly what allows them to operate without fear of detection, as any Sherlock easily understands. (Reminds one of the racist Willie Horton ads from the '80's - seems the G.O.P. lost it's equality emphasis at Ford's Theatre.) Another "kowtow" to racist evil of the past is Gillespie's praising of the confederate monuments, erected during the Jim Crow era of lynchings & denial of rights to so many citizens of the south - those with the 10 genes out of 30,000 which determine one's melanin count (original color tan). As the last elected president of Robert E. Lee elementary school in his home county; Arlington, I tend to follow HIS belief that notwithstanding his leading the southern troops in what he eventually considered a disaster for Virginia, he personally was NOT a proponent of the enslavement of Human Beings. I'm sure the abuse of his broad cause & the deaths of his troops to sanction continued racist evil would NOT be applauded by his Christian soul. Perhaps the statue of a lynched victim should be erected next to each excessive monument lingering without appropriate explanation of the overall context of when & why such was actually imposed on the broader community ? Would this not be more true to the tradition of Jeffersonian ideals regarding the status of ALL (Hu)MENs being created EQUAL ? Also being a resident of Charlottesville for 4 years and a graduate of Mr. Jefferson's University I find the Republicans' "fellow traveling" with the Nazi/KKK/extreme right antichrists most revealing of their actual level of "Morality". Gillespie & the others march lock-step (or is it goose-step) with "the Chump's" treason against God & Country for the sake of their REAL deity, MAMMON ! (as discussed below). Another pile of deception regards the non-violent action practiced by some athletes regarding the continued lack of punishment for murder committed by a few criminal police officers which, though few in number set the standard for civilized society way below what is legally required. "Taking the knee" is not so much an insult to the Nation (& civilized society) as practicing one of it's most honorable powers of persuasion as demonstrated by Martin King, the suffragettes, the Mohatma Ghandhi and, originally Jesus of Nazareth who rejected the zealots call to arms. Recently I've even heard some disillusioned Republicans turn away from the extremist Chumpian version of the party seeing that Gillespie, a lobbyist has; instead of serving as any restraint on this evil tendency, SOLD-OUT his independence soul to the fourth reich types.
Another influence on this election season is of course, those disgruntled by the facts of the Virginia electorate, which one must recall is NOT wholly representative of the National one. The Bernie Sanders progressives and certain communities of color who may have been deceived by the FSB (Russian CIA) "fake news" campaign waged on behalf of their master Putin's puppet (the Chump) might consider avoiding making the same suicidal mistake again if they self-righteously did NOT vote for the "lesser of evils" moderate Clinton (if they have to see things that way) which paved the way for an infinitely worse choice the country is now saddled with (until Impeachment at least). That is, voting for Mr. Northam to prevent the extremist agenda of the Gerrymandered legislature from actually taking effect is something they will surely thank themselves for & something they will curse (without a doubt) if they do NOT. (Take a look at the 50+ evil bills which McAuliff has vetoed to get a clue.) Also, the moderate Progressives, Mr. Fairfax and Mr. Herring for Lt. Governor and Attorney General should be enthusiastically supported by all reasonable Democrats (& all logical Virginians given the nut-job misled alternatives).
BTW I believe Mr. Northam's earlier honest analysis of the oval-office occupant as a "narcissistic maniac" stands up quite well to professional scrutiny, although as a Physical BioCHEMIST and Special Education worker I see much parallel with some of the worst cases I've encountered which distill roughly as an autistic megalomaniac (a self-centered child who never grew up totally bereft of compassion/understanding for others.
As more than half of Virginia voters say that the occupant of the oval office has an out-sized effect on their consideration for party choice in this election, perhaps some review of such is in order.
When the Chump called Hillary Clinton "the devil" in a National Debate last fall - This inspires one to wonder if the entity making such an insane accusation might not be SATAN himself ? Especially given Lucifer's succinct description as the "Father of all LIES" given how few words pass the Chump's lips which survive any cursory fact-check. From some Christian traditions comes the story (perhaps history) of a pre-Earthly war in Heaven in which a third of the Host was deceived by a megalomanic into treason against TRUTH, after which they were cast into Hell. Is the actual vote count of last year's so-called "election" not close to ~ 33% (particularly now that a year of incompetent evil has been observed by the American Host ?)
The question for the Commonwealth of Virginia this week is whether we should be greedy, foolish & evil enough to follow Mammon's puppet - given that the GOP has tied itself so completely to the cape of the entity in the oval office.
Anyone who has economic responsibilities (like most voters) has to CONTINUE to wonder WHY does the chump still refuse to release his tax returns from the last several decades, like all candidates have since Nixon? Does anyone actually believe he has nothing to hide ? Especially with recent proof of his good buddy/mentor/elector Vlad Putin's perversion of our electoral process one must consider whether he owes his economic soul to the Kremlin bankers.
……and now it's not "Back to the Future" but to the failed policies of the '80's. It seems that 30 years after Reagan/Bush should have been impeached (for trading cocaine-for-death squad funding thru Honduras - Iran/Contra) the Chump wants to bring back their "reverse Robin Hood" policies (as Jesse Jackson coined it) of trickle-upon economics; that is of stealing from the middle class in order to further enrich those already wealthy - leaving the treasury 1,500 Billion dollars poorer. Hardly a model of fiscal responsibility. So if you liked the results of the last GOP economic disaster ('08) you'll love being destroyed by this repeat performance that will play out without any Obama competence to rescue us once the bubble bursts & a full-depression ensues (of course this may allow China to COMPLETELY own us without firing a shot, as well).
This HYPOCRISY of the "moral" Republicans who put up with a SERIAL MOLESTER of women who is destroying our environment thru climatic instability (including excessively strong Hurricanes, horrendous forest fires & "earthquakes in diverse/unusual places" due to irresponsible fracking) in return for a payment of all religious traitors - MAMMON, is pathetically obvious. For those familiar with the Catholic/Anglican service, the G(reed) O(lied) P(arty)'s take on an important part of of it seems to be " A mighty Mammon is our God, and the Satanic Rifle Association is our protector ." It seems, however; that those foolish enough to swallow this line were NOT protected at the Las Vegas concert from a demon who turned high-powered guns into high-powered MACHINE GUNS via the bump-stocks which the right-wing "promised" to outlaw back then, but has since quietly ignored, being wholly owned subsidiaries of the Satanic Rifle Association to whom they sell their souls every day of the week for the triple-profit margin that instruments of death bring manufacturers thereof (very few prostitutes ever become Nuns). Will General/President Eisenhower's warning about the Military-Industrial complex he made after realizing he had saved the wrong party EVER be heeded?
The latest revelations regarding the TRUTH as to the so-called "free & fair election" farce last year are finally exposing thru Mueller's indictments just how competent the Chump's "extreme vetting" process was in choosing a campaign manager who illegally worked for the fascist Ukrainian regime puppet-eered by Putin (which murdered 100 innocent protestors one night soon before fleeing to fascist Russia), his criminal side-kick Gates and apparently a traveling salesman of russian collusion - Papadopoulos. One can only wish Mueller luck & the cooperation of American Patriots who respect the Constitutional rule of law more than a blithering blowhard's ranting tweets.
……and now, the party which has kept the mild inebriant Cannabis illegal for half a century after RFK would've legalized it (GOP paranoia = "pot makes people vote Democratic") has mouthed words concerning the white power slavery much more deadly than even alcohol which is now slaughtering white folks, the opioids but; being a corporate puppet (like of big Pharma) they mimic the pharaoh of old by recommending the nation make 'bricks without straw" that is, heal addiction without the funding required for recovery. The party of Hip-Hip-Hipocrisy marches on ! (Reminds one of the "No child left behind" un-funded mandate that was such a spectacular failure.)
The FACT is that what the executive branch needs now is quite beyond years of education in governance for an Ignoramus. It seems more in need of a team of Psychiatrists versed in psychopathy and a squad of Exorcists familiar with Catholic University's texts on the subject. After all, let us not forget that the Russian Destroyer of religions, Stalin is the Chump's Electors' (Putin's) "model of leadership", for those who amazingly swallow the neo-fascist's claim to any religious "morality".
However given that, at this moment when "the Alien" is outside the country should we not re-claim our Constitution and deny re-entry to this interloper on American democracy ? This foreign enemy agent of the Kremlin's Putin - who installed him thru the FSB cyber-warfare operation ? (As far as anyone can tell, the truth of the matter will never pass HIS lips, so like a professional Mafia LIAR accurate conclusions must be sought via a competent, objective Polygraph interrogation. Maybe even the new MRI version being developed ! ) Of course the FSB was amply assisted by the rapist Julian Assange, another model of high "morality" (or is it again, hypocrisy ?) The third major contributor (beyond Comey's incompetence or collusion with Chumpian agents in NYC) was, we now know ~ 50 Million simpletons who actually believed fake news scrawled across the social media's bathroom wall.
We should it seems require a higher moral standard for beings seeking to enter our country than this slimy deceiver who has colluded in destroying our "free & fair" electoral process. After all, this low-life was too much of a coward to fight in Viet-nam and too much of a TAX CHEAT to pay a penny in taxes when most of us have to support the country with a seventh of our income. This thief claims that this is "smart" behavior ! Is it not more like the fact that WE are ` 7,000 times more patriotic than a serial molester of women & supporter of the Nazi's our forefather's suffered to defeat ??
