How We Got Trump
—Shades of the 1919 Chicago Black Sox Scandal
[Originally published as a Facebook Note on August 14, 2017]
Now, the below referenced link has absolutely nothing to do with Russians hacking the DNC. Why? Because the Russians did not hack the DNC!
But Grant Stern’s (see above link) reporting has everything to do with the fact that this is the kind of information that should have been thoroughly investigated the day Trump announced his candidacy for the presidency! Instead, Trump got a free ride and tremendous free publicity from America’s main media.
Why?
Because main media was in league with the Clinton Campaign to make Trump Clinton’s “pied piper” candidate, one whom she could easily defeat in November (see Wikileaks).
My strong hunch is that Democratic opposition research team, early on, had in its possession the Trump “pussy grab” video, which it would use just ahead of November’s voting day. If the Democratic opposition research team didn’t have possession of this video at the beginning, that opposition research team was totally inept! I strongly suspect they possessed the recording!
Also after Trump announced, investigative reporting on Trump’s shady business deals — with or without Russians — was benign at best. The main media didn’t even take Trump apart when he used a fake veterans organization to support the speech he gave aboard the USS Iowa just ahead of the Iowan Caucus.
Trump got a free ride into the New Hampshire Primary and beyond. As a tragic consequence, eventually it became too late for the main media to kill the mo-mo they helped him gain. The media has built him up into the “outsider” the electorate has always wanted since being sickened by Bush-Cheney.
The whole scenario can well be compared to the 1919 Chicago Black Sox scandal where those players in on the fix, during mid-Series — because they hadn’t been paid by the gamblers — turned on them and began playing their hearts out to try and recover and win. But it was too late. They had already blown too many games and they couldn’t recover. The Reds won and several of the White Sox players were indicted.
Well, it’s my humble opinion that because the main media — in league with Clinton political operatives (primarily her campaign manager, John Podesta who now works for The Washington Post) — gave Trump a free ride, we Americans are now being screwed big time, the world has become a more dangerous place with Trump holding the reigns of the power of oligarchy.
[SIDEBAR NOTE: The White Sox, 40 years later, atoned for the Black Sox scandal by introducing speed, defense and pitching as a means of combining tools to win in baseball. In effect, they invented “small ball.” Most World Series winners back in the ole’ days relied on power bats, the long ball. Ironically, the 1959 “Go-Go White Sox” revolutionized baseball and changed the way the game is today played.]
