People are coming out of the endangered woodwork. While the smooth rhetoric of the late-night comedy-talk-shows-hopping, drone-bombing, war-mongering, Nobel Peace Prize winner (who did some good stuff too) failed to rouse such ire, not so for the Great Stirrer, President Donald J. Trump.

In 2016, the prospect of the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL) aka black snake helped galvanize the phenomenal gatherings of 300-plus Native Nations and allies at Standing Rock. As the first week of President Trump in office has shown, the dormant (caught up in legal paperwork) snake has reared its venomous head; yet paperwork, court matters, and people power [1] signal that the Great Stirrer may have to learn to lose and that politicians (though they try) can't always make up all the rules – though they try danged hard, as the following verbal shell games indicate.

Doublespeak is not new to the lingo spewing forth from the theo-fascist from day-one government aka the “Great Experiment,” a phrase which perhaps foreshadowed science's penchant for torturing mice in order to test and sell products to humans. As for theo-fascism, see: the Doctrine of Christian Discovery & Domination, The Declaration of Independence, Manifest Destiny, and other official con-jobs.

Exhibit A, from The Declaration of so-called Independence; (had the Original Inhabitants been respected and included in the process it might have been The Declaration of Interdependence):

“He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavored to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian savages, whose known rule of warfare, is undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.” [2]

“We’re an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you’re studying that reality — judiciously, as you will — we’ll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that’s how things will sort out. We’re history’s actors . . . and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do.”

"The establishment of our new Government seemed to be the last great experiment for promoting human happiness." - George Washington, January 9, 1790 [4]

“Now what is the message there? The message is that there are no "knowns." There are things we know that we know. There are known unknowns. That is to say there are things that we now know we don't know. But there are also unknown unknowns. There are things we do not know we don't know. So when we do the best we can and we pull all this information together, and we then say well that's basically what we see as the situation, that is really only the known knowns and the known unknowns. And each year, we discover a few more of those unknown unknowns. It sounds like a riddle. It isn't a riddle. It is a very serious, important matter. There's another way to phrase that and that is that the absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. It is basically saying the same thing in a different way. Simply because you do not have evidence that something exists does not mean that you have evidence that it doesn't exist. And yet almost always, when we make our threat assessments, when we look at the world, we end up basing it on the first two pieces of that puzzle, rather than all three.” [5]

“Purple Haze all in my brain,
lately things don't seem the same,
actin' funny but I don't know why
'scuse me while I kiss the sky.”

“... the Democratic Party, which established the legal framework Trump is using for his executive orders. The Democrats provided the necessary votes for the passage of the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996, which was signed by President Bill Clinton, and for the Secure Fence Act of 2006, which was supported by then-senators Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Joseph Biden and Charles Schumer.

“As president, Obama deported 2.5 million immigrants and placed travel restrictions on immigrants from the seven countries listed in Trump’s executive order. White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer cited Obama’s action as legal authority for the Trump Muslim ban. The Obama administration either bombed, invaded or imposed brutal sanctions against all seven countries listed.” [9]
