In the Name of The Father, and of The Son and of The Holy Spirit, Amen.
Countrymen,
When his minions look out the White House’s windows, what do they see? They see Mongo, who will have feelings for Sheriff Bart — as whom they fancy their boss, The Fraud, and themselves — deserving a CandyGram.
Last week a stir was felt throughout the land, following publication of a New York Slimes Magazine article about Ben Rhodes, White House tall tale teller. Outrage flags flew everywhere. Rhodes said he and his boss, The Fraud, are gaslighters and Americans, including the mandarins, are gaslightees. Rhodes’ minions laughed derisively, gleefully and sanctimoniously at the mandarins, the Mongos.
I think the minions see the Rhodes article as a gigantic CandyGram For Mongo, wherein The Fraud/Rhodes are Sheriff Bart, Americans, to include the foreign policy establishment to which Rhodes belongs, are Mongo and the article is the CandyGram box, which, as planned, has blown up — observe the heaving hearts and flailing pens far and wide — in Americans’ faces, to delight the minions.
Or, to change the metaphor, Rhodes, his boss and Co. are giving the finger to all and sundry, here and abroad, as publicly and as forcefully as they can. With huge smirks on their faces. It’s who they are: pricks and cunts. One wonders if they will blow down the White House and burn it to cinder rubble as they leave it, if they leave it.
The event sent many to ask one more time and earnestly: (1) are the White House occupiers stupid or malevolent, and (2) which would be most evil in the sense of destructive? The first question is empirical. The second is as well, but it presents first as philosophical, even ontological. These articles illustrate the breadth of outrage conjured by Rhodes and NYTM: here, here, here, here, here, here, here and here.
Richard Fernandez struggles with this constellation of developments in a post named The Men Who Would Be King. He employs Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s analysis of stupidity and malevolence as well as his observations on which is more destructive. As always, Bonhoeffer is clear-sighted. However, in this Rhodes-NYTM context Bonhoeffer may be more than is needed as well as, on principle, always relevant. Fernandez, not wrongly, comes out seeing Rhodes and minions as stupid rather than malevolent.
I am inclined to come out seeing them as stupid, malevolent and more. Such as: angry, hateful, spiteful, ruthless, vicious, racist, and on and on. Where one demon enters a thousand pile in. A school-yard truism is that, what a gang accuses others of being, they are.
Eli Lake has a different take than Fernandez does on this event, one which I think raises the possibility that the NYTM interview is White House psyops, disinformation, misdirection, propaganda. Rhodes is this White House’s foreign policy propaganda chief, after all.
Not that Fernandez is wrong to juxtapose Bonhoeffer to this event. He’s right, at least because Bonhoeffer is always a relevant witness. Fernandez’s exegesis of and literary correlations to Bonhoeffer’s observations also are apropos.
Just that there may be more to this than meets the eye at first. The NYT is a propaganda arm of this White House. Why take anything they print seriously, or at least, as directly relevant? Given the source, would it not be judicious to discern the possible reasons that propaganda arm and its boss would have for producing such an article? There can be several, none premised on taking the article at face value as exposing a stable of imbeciles or a thicket malevolence.
Whatever else is going on in the NYTM article, what strikes me as present and consistent with their source’s past practice is Globalists’ defenestration of American sovereignty. Whether stupid or malevolent, or both and more, the gestalt and effect of Globalists’ activity — mental, verbal and manual — is dissolution of the USA as a sovereign nation state.
I think that is simultaneously the operating insight of and the grand strategic work-list for patriotic intelligence — to redeem the elements of USA national sovereignty. They abide, but they are in stir. They can be freed to pursue their nature and destiny. The Church’s natural posture is to attack confinement.

Update 3: Scott Johnson at Power Line sees the Rhodes imbroglio through yet another facet, I suspect one more catholic (true) than not. Johnson again on this here. This Rhodes business has rung a bell, a very deep down bell.

Update 10: Post and, at length, comments deal with The Fraud as black and electoral dynamics thereabouts. But, as is known, The Fraud is not black socially, intellectually or any other way. He has one African biological parent, apparently, but that is not black as Americans uses the word. His every other and salient aspect is white, as Americans use the word. And socially he descends from the self-satisfied, hyper-sexed, hyper-active monied orbits of the CIA and so-called philanthropic foundations. Codevilla: The Chosen One.
So he mixes with black public figures, famous and infamous. So what? So would most any white fratboy given a chance, thinking it would make them cool. I think that’s why The Fraud does it. He’s a black wannabe, like many, many whites today are.
I think The Fraud is the first guy in the White House to have been bred and raised for it by the company and those foundations. He’s their boy. They protect him. MSM isn’t afraid of him. They’re afraid of them. Ditto Hillary. And ValJar, also a company/foundation issue, is their helpmeet/minder to The Fraud.
Fear of his sponsors, not racism, silences would-be critics of The Fraud. The Washington Compost makes my point with their picture topping this oped by George Will.

Update 14: Glenn Reynolds: Abolish the Ivy League. I commented:
The Ivy League is church-made. Abolish the churches to abolish the Ivy League. Not so hard to do. Find them by law as political fronts. The churches, I mean.
The Church is exclusive, not inclusive. That fact will abolish the Ivy League, all on its own, not just talk about abolishing it. “Have no God beside me.” You do not get more exclusive than that. Make that point, miracles will happen.
AUM NAMAH SHIVAYA
