The Rosen Report

Rosen Report Article From May 2022 Hit Nail On The Head. Mar-a-Lago Docs Were In Large Part Blackmail Files.  October 10, 2022 Today's "Daily Beast" article (linked at bottom) drops a bombshell. Trump tried to "bargain" with NARA over the stolen Mar-a-Lago documents, demanding in exchange FBI documents exonerating him from the charges re; Russia, to prove the entire investigation was a hoax. Trump's attorneys told him it was a non-starter, but apparently he insisted on making the proposal anyway.  To this writer however, that is not the big story. The real kicker is embedded in the following quote: [Instead of returning the classified materials he’d taken to Mar-a-Lago from the White House, Donald Trump allegedly wanted to trade them for documents showing the FBI investigated his 2016 campaign ties to Russia, according to reporting from The New York Times. For more than a year, National Archives officials hounded the former president’s aides and attorneys to...

Some Essential But Obvious Points Worth Keeping In Mind About Trump's State Of Mind- A Strategic assessment of where Trump's ongoing mental breakdown might lead-- What Trump has done in most instances were very conscious decisions, not always ad hoc or the product of "winging it," in spite of appearances otherwise. He more or less decided to run in late 2014 with two intentions. To further build the Trump brand, and to overturn the legacy of Barack Obama's actual accomplishments as president for reasons of his deep committment to racism. Remember that his earliest political "toe in the water" issue was the fabricated "birther" campaign, questioning the constitutional legality of Obama's presidency.  That should have been the "five-alarm fire" warning of Trump's relationship to democratic elections right there.  Although he had flirted with running for years, in actuality his trigger was the US Obama-Biden administration's ...

Close Down Truth Social, Trump's Platform For Terrorist Threats And Seditious Conspiracy.  Yesterday, as I posted in my coverage of the news story, Trump threatened Mitch MConnell's life, and used hate speech against his wife Elaine Chao. He is inciting his violent supporters to target his enemies, which will, as it already has in the case of the Ohio shooter who attacked the Cincinnati FBI office, lead to more bloodshed.  https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2022/10/01/politics/trump-mcconnell-death-wish-democrat-bills/index.html This is what he did on Twitter, which helped get him banned. (Along with his spread of disinformation.)  In effect, Trump uses social media in the same way that Osama Bin Laden and ISIS used Al-Jazeera, who at the time incited, directed, defended and covered terrorist acts, from suicide bombings to beheadings. Trump needs to be deplatformed from his own platform now, in the name of national security.   This has been done before. Pro-Nazi radio Prie...

  https://bigthink.com/13-8/belief-science-religion/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=Facebook#Echobox=1664262367 I read this article linked above, posted by my wife Martha and thought it important enough to review. It is thought provoking and interesting, but unfortunately the writer, Marcelo Giesler, uses too much wordplay and is a bit nominalistic. Meaning that his central concept is undermined by too heavy a reliance on parsing the definitions of words, in order to attribute strict meaning to concepts that are at best ambiguous. The writer is laboring to find an interface between the worlds of science and religion by elaborating on the concept of "belief." The argument is that the human capacity to believe is the bridge between scientific knowledge and religious faith, and therefore there is no inherent conflict between either because both begin with a "belief" My view, (not my belief) is that in an effort to resolve this very real false dichotomy, he contrives ...

  Why I've Been "Trolling" MAGA On Twitter- --A response to an outraged friend who is incredulous at the sheer lying insanity of our adversary'-- Everything coming out of their mouths, the policies they stand for, the appeals they make to their base, are destructive lying homicidal garbage. Their so-called program is nothing but recycled Nazism, a social/economic program to kill off those they consider "unfit to live" through a form of national triage. They are not "far right" extremists. They are murderers, both of people, and of the truth. Our greatest problem is that most of our Democratic leaders, most of you, just won't say it that way. The leading MAGA spokesmen only have the power that they do because of our years long passivity, our being so damned respectful, polite, tolerant, and pacifistic over years, in refusing to directly confront this. We've deluded ourselves in believing that rational debate and facts would amount to anythin...

Some Thoughts From A Political Veteran On How To Organize And Lead In A Time Of Crisis-- Be Subjective, (Don't Be So Nice)  (Part 4 of a series)  The Weak Flank Of The Enemy-- This will be a bit lengthy, but hopefully helpful. I've recently been doing a lot more on Twitter, both posting my stuff, and as you may have noticed, trolling some of the worst of the MAGA pundits and  propagandists, and there are some things which, in my view, just jump out as evident. First is that the Trump cultists are themselves writing and posting at approximately a fourth grade level of reading comprehension, even those with law degrees and who are CEO types. (That is not meant as an insult to fourth graders or their teachers). They are literally in some cases dumbing themselves down in order to trigger the hot buttons of their targeted audience of worse-than-deplorables. Their posts have the character of bumper sticker slogans designed to provoke road-rage incidents, not serious political i...

Trump's "Smoking Gun"-- Liz Cheney Announces Trove Of 800,000 Secret Service Texts From "On The Ground" on January 6 In Hand! What Are The Strategic Implications?  This is a "hot take" analysis by me, and subject to revision pending new information being made public. Buy for sure its as big a deal as it seems, and possibly the equivalent of the release of the unredacted Nixon White House tapes, which remember spelled his political end. The Twitter report from Frank Figliuzzi linked below on Cheney's announcement is brief, but rife with earth-shattering implications. 1. Obviously, because the communications are those of Trump's protection detail, they will directly involve Trump's actions, movements, orders, statements and communications from throughout that day. Likewise, they will involve those same related communications regarding VP Mike Pence. 2. Equally obvious is that these texts are likely incriminating, which is why they were wiped ...
