Stephen Miller is a 33 year-old, far-right political activist, speechwriter and senior policy adviser for president Trump.  Although raised by liberals and schooled in California, Miller began in high school or earlier being a conservative provocateur; he harangued fellow students with diatribes on how “everyone and their parents needed to speak English or leave this country”.  In college, he tried starting an all-white-male alliance; and strived to “change the political conversation in this country”. He was an “early pioneer in the politics of conservative victimization by the Left”, asserting that Duke University was trying to silence him.  He appeared on conservative talk-radio; he later served as press secretary for Michele Bachman, and communications director for then-Senator Jeff Sessions, before being attracted into the stratosphere of the Trump campaign.

Miller is responsible for some of Trump’s most “memorable public addresses from …. Inauguration day promises …. of ending American carnage to —  illegal aliens,  a crisis of the soul”.   Miller is a “chief architect of the travel ban, favors cities warehousing asylum-seekers, wants to reactivate snatching migrant children from their families, and is firmly behind the new proposal of moving and dumping detained migrants to sanctuary cities”.  He’s back of the ‘heads-rolling’ at Department of Homeland Security, Secret Service, and Immigration & Customs Enforcement.   Miller is a “True Believer in core-Trump policies”.   Miller emphatically stated last year, that “the president’s national security decisions WILL NOT BE QUESTIONED!”  Trump has told Miller, “you’re in charge”, and stated that Miller, “is an excellent guy, a brilliant person”.

Stephen Miller bears a distinct resemblance to Joseph Goebbels, if not purely physical, than at least ‘in spirit and essence’.  Goebbels was a German-Nazi politician, activist, and Reich Minister of Propaganda for Adolf Hitler.  Goebbels sought to hide his possible Jewish ancestry from the Fuhrer and others.  He began to make use of extreme provocative-speech and propaganda early in his career, pushing the ‘victimization of the Germanic people by the Jews’.   He was one of Hitler’s closest and most devoted associates.  Goebbels pressured Hitler into total war; he advocated progressively harsher discriminations, including the extermination of the Jews in the Holocaust.  From whence comes such darkness?  He was enamored by a sociopath, with which he shared such attributes.  He declared, “It is the absolute right of the State to supervise the formation of public opinion”; “I think of the press as a great keyboard on which the government can play”.

William Barr, U.S. Attorney General testified before Congress on April 9th & 10th, and has confirmed our worst fears.  His 19-page ‘job application memo’ asserting that he felt the investigation against the president was bogus, landed Barr the position of Attorney General.  Barr’s long memo asserted the reasons why President Trump shouldn’t be investigated, and Barr even wrote the New York Times that there “was more of a foundation to investigate the Clinton Foundation and ‘Uranium One scandal’ than to investigate a Trump-Russian-collusion case”.  Barr’s request for the job was a ‘roadmap of how he would conduct himself’ going forward and now we see that he fully intends to protect Trump from the evidence found by the 2-year investigation of Special Counsel, Robert Mueller.  Barr is indeed Trump’s ‘Roy Cohn’.   A.G. Barr wandered into a scenario, before Congress, that he said was troubling and stated, “I think spying did occur”, and said that he would be looking into the genesis of why some of  Trump’s campaign workers had been investigated.  WOW!   D.A.G. Rosenstein signed off on one of those FISA renewal warrants associated with Carter Page, as did Sally Yates.   One Congressman did give Barr the opportunity to change his language from “spying” to possible “unauthorized surveillance”, which Barr accepted.    Nancy Pelosi has declared that, “Barr is going off the rails!”

Barr should have recused himself initially, except this is the reason for which he came onboard.  Trump threatened that his political enemies would be punished, and Barr will apparently go along with that agenda!  ‘Crossfire Hurricane’ was the FBI case file name for the investigation into a national security advisor, who was conflicted and coordinating with Russian officials, and Trump campaign chairman and volunteers with many Russian contacts.  The FBI could have leaked info to hurt Trump’s campaign (as they publicized reopening a case on Hillary Clinton), but they did not.  Yet, Trump asserts that there was “an attempted coup” against him, and calls others Traitors!

Barr’s 4-page review of the Mueller report, sought to clear Trump, when Mueller clearly stated, “this report DOES NOT exonerate Trump”.   Now Barr says that he plans to release SOME of the Mueller report within a week or so.  Barr would not answer the question each time he was asked, if he had already given the report to Trump or the White House; so that’s a YES.

On May 7, 2015, Trump tweeted, “I was the first & only potential GOP candidate to state there will be no cuts to Social Security, Medicare & Medicaid”.   Trump’s 2020 budget breaks even more of Trump’s campaign promises; he proposes cutting $1.5 trillion from Medicaid, $25 billion from Social Security and $845 billion from Medicare over the next ten years, changes devastating for seniors, the poor, disabled, and all hard-working Americans.   And why should Americans have to pay the world’s highest prices for prescription drugs?

Republicans claimed they must cut these programs and more, shortly after passing the biggest tax cuts ever for the uber-rich, widening the gulf between the wealthy and middle-class. Trump promised the nation better healthcare than ACA, then cut healthcare funding.  He cut veterans benefits, SNAP, funding for cancer research, for education and student loans.  This is a ‘War-on-the-Poor and Middle-class’.  Corporations didn’t “trickle-down” those monies, to help their employees.  The corruption of all the agencies under the Trump administration has been blatant, many cabinet members forced to resign their positions, with more to follow.   And with all that is stacked in favor of the rich, still it is not enough, can never be enough for the elite in our society, who feel — by virtue of their wealth that they deserve every good thing, and care nothing about those whom their deceit and fakery excludes.  The ultra-rich, bribing universities to accept their offspring over and above other students in America who legitimately got good grades on their college entrance exams and are authentically excellent athletes, having worked hard for years to attain that stature, is just sickening!

Millions are joining the class action lawsuit of the nationwide college admission scheme which rejected worthy students at the expense of ‘locking-in purchased seats for preferred students’ into prestigious colleges.  Dozens of parents, sports coaches and college prep executives have been indicted so far, for illegally wrangling the system.  The wealthy kids, who have the best public schools, with many attending private schools, already have greater opportunities for competing and earning high grades on college exams, and for enrolling in extra-curricular sports activities through the years, but that’s apparently not enough.   Elitism, entitlement and inequality in America needs to be reined in, and WE THE PEOPLE, need to WAKE UP and MAKE IT HAPPEN!   We need to overthrow vice and corruption, in government, and in the ruination of our planet, through ignorance, denial and apathy.

The House Chairman, Jerry Nadler, has received tens of thousands of documents from his requests, sent out in February, to 81 individuals or entities; however the committee has not received a single page from the White House.  Mueller’s investigation may soon be over, but the House committees have just begun to investigate  areas of alleged obstruction of justice, abuse of powers, and suspected conspiracy with foreign leaders to interfere with our electoral processes by President Trump and others.  Elijah Cummings sent a letter to the White House Counsel’s office accusing attorneys of trying to obstruct their investigations.  Subpoenas will go out next to those who do not cooperate.  The White House cannot refuse to comply with a congressional investigation, mandated and required to be oversight on the Executive branch.

President Nixon, in July 1973, tried to refuse to turn over recorded tapes of Oval office conversations, requested by Senator Sam Ervin’s committee; Archibald Cox, Special Prosecutor, had to serve a subpoena on presidential counsel, who tried to block the investigative process, to obtain the tapes.  Nixon tried to claim Executive Privilege over the tapes, “of private conversations”,  but it ultimately didn’t work for him, and it won’t work for Donald J. Trump.  Nixon stated emphatically that he would not testify before the committee, and “the tapes will remain under my sole, personal control”.  The tapes, made in secret, contained ‘alleged’ conversations between Mr. Nixon and his various assistants “on matters relating to the Watergate break-in and the subsequent efforts to cover-up that crime”.  Nixon asserted, “the tapes would not finally settle the central issues before your committee.  The tapes are entirely consistent with what I know to be the truth and what I have stated to be the truth, and while supporting my interpretation of my Watergate role, nevertheless might be interpreted in different ways by different persons.”

Archibald Cox stated, “The one clear point is that the tapes are evidence bearing directly upon whether there was criminal conspiracies, including a conspiracy to obstruct justice among high government officials.  The stage was set for a great constitutional struggle; the ultimate arbitration, it was believed, would have to be made by the Supreme Court, but even if the court were to rule against the president, it has no independent power to compel him to act.  He is, however, subject to the impeachment powers of Congress.”  No president is above the law in America!
