J Post - For Insights about Current Politics, Look into The Art of War

J Posts are neither secret nor secretive.
The idea is to provide some guidance about the political scene.

I laugh at TV news, which is appropriate. So little can be covered on TV that the networks view it as entertainment in the name of news. Actual journalists are rarer than hens teeth, so I see that title as a warning.

However, the Internet is full of information, some as bogus as CNN, some a mixture of good and bad. No one really knows everything and I do not pretend to - I just try.

I remember a student telling me to read The Art of War, a classic about winning battles, often used by people in business. President Trump knows the book well.

Deception is very important. One important concept is - When you are weak, appear strong. When you are strong, appear weak.

One tactic is to make a lot of noise in one area while developing another front. Trump's tweets take over the news and they are often about nothing important. However, reporters share them with their ain't it awful commentary.

Jeff Sessions was known as "the silent executioner" when he was a prosecutor. Although Trump picked him, various drama events made Trump's opponents back Sessions. Meanwhile Sessions and Trump set up a separate prosecutor and sealed indictments piled up.

Mueller was a Marine officer, an aide to a general. The Marines serve directly under the President, unlike the rest of the military. Mueller could no longer serve as head of the FBI and he was compromised by Uranium 1. So why did Trump interview him for a post he could not occupy? How could someone dig up so little against Trump in all this time?

I believe Trump and Rosenstein were offered a chance for some mercy if they cooperated and investigated the felons in the FBI and the Department of Justice.

Maybe I am completely wrong - but the top floor of the FBI building has been wiped out. Everyone is fired, or resigned, or cooperating with the prosecutors. If that is a war on Trump, the aim is a bit off.

Why aren't we hearing more good news? The Silent Prosecutor knows that cases tried in public are thrown out by judges and juries. Long ago, a union leader was murdered - Yablonski. The prosecution used the death penalty versus life in prison to get the actual killers to expose the people above them, the real culprits.

That takes time, to gather evidence, to offer some mercy in exchange for useful information.

Why don't we hear more? The leakers have been silenced, one way or another.

The Korean War has been an open wound for 70 years or so. Suddenly their nuclear facilities and scientists were gone - from an "earthquake." Missiles stopped flying and peace followed. Could that have happened from a military strike?

There is a list of politicians who no longer want to be in office, both parties, CEOs who suddently want to spend more time with their families. The list is extensive and growing each day.

Child trafficking arrests are enormous and people running "children's charities" are being sent to prison.

Major arrests will come soon and major trials and tribunals will be initiated.

 The New York Attorney General said, "I am the law."
Now he is gone. Apparently he was helping in keeping the Huma Weinstein laptop closed and out of the news.
