Half Has Not Been Told!
Pondering the Passing Parade of Politics by David L Lewis
“History is Written by the Victors”
(attributed to Winston Churchill)
OBSERVATION: Seems well within scope of possibilities that it may be some time before we know rest of the story about current and past political events and crimes. And, it is entirely possible the whole story will never all be told in our lifetime. There is always more to the story.
BACKGROUND: Some who benefited from family name or political connections of whom half has not been told include, but definitely not limited to:
President son ‘Buck’ Grant
President daughter Jenna Bush
Vice-President son Hunter Biden
President daughter Ivanka Trump
President son-in-law Jared Kushner
President son Don Trump
ON-GOING: Stories begun in my lifetime of which half has not been told:
June 30 2023 the government released thousands of documents related to assassination of President Kennedy. Reportedly 4,684 documents remain withheld.
Final Presidential papers of President Lyndon Johnson, including a number of previously secret recordings, were not released until 50 years after his death.
In February 2022, 50th anniversary of Watergate scandal, a new book on President Nixon was published. Although overall story of Watergate has been often told, author Garrett Graff said his book primarely included information never before published.
As of this date a Republican controlled congressional committee is attempting to look into certain as yet unsubstantiated allegations concerning President Biden. Many of these allegations have been thoroughly investigated for 5+ years by various official and private entities and deemed unfounded, and dismissed by former Attorney General Bill Barr with no charges filed. In January 2023 Robert Hur, former U.S. Attorney appointed by Trump, was named DOJ's Special Counsel in President Biden classified documents probe.
As of this date, based on findings of three separate Grand Juries, Donald Trump has been indicted, arrested, and arraigned on multiple criminal charges. He is also subject of related state investigations involving alleged election corruption and other crimes. Publicly available court filings, and his own public statements, reveal credible incriminating evidence in these cases. Also pending are approximately two-dozen civil lawsuits alleging fraud, defamation, and offenses against women. Trump has pleaded Not Guilty at all three arraignments, and has refuted complaints filed in civil cases. No definitive defense has yet been publicly articulated to date, nor has exculpatory testimony and/or evidence been submitted under oath by his attorneys.
FORESHADOW: Of all the words to dread and to fear, most naive are these, “It can’t happen here”.
On January 20, 2021 the United States of America mustered 25,000 armed troops ‘to insure the peaceful transition of power’. In written history of man it has most often not ended well when the army determines who will run a country.
Just pointing out the ‘half not told’ before Victors do their re-write. If you think I got anything wrong, get back to me in 50 years, we’ll talk.
