“Rank and File” – A Conspicuous Absence of Visible Indignation.
Against a rather enlightening week of activity from within the DOJ and FBI, last night I posited the question:
“If the FBI and DOJ were not institutionally corrupt wouldn’t we have seen multiple whistle-blowers this year?”
The purpose of the question is to draw attention to an empirical reality. By now we understand many of the big picture details behind DOJ and FBI efforts to weaponize the institutions of government to target their political opposition, namely Donald Trump.
With the removal of so many officials within the institutions, the question becomes less rhetorical. If the corruption is removed, where are the ‘rank and file’ whistle-blowers surfacing from underneath the now replaced leadership? Why haven’t we seen anyone from within the system come forth to tell their story?
Where are the voices of the officials within the FBI data forensic units who were given restrictive analytical instructions on Clinton laptops and hard-drives? Where are the voices of the investigative field agents charged with finding leakers? Where are the voices of the non-corrupt employees inside the DOJ-NSD or FBI who watched for two years as the small group within upper level offices controlled/scripted the activity? etc. etc.
The larger question is not asked to state emphatically no such honorable “rank and file” exist; but rather to highlight: if they do exist, then why are they invisible?
The primary reason why honorable people do not step forward within corrupt systems to blow-the-whistle is fear. Fear of losing a job; fear of retaliation; fear of being targeted by elements within the institution who maintain a corrupt disposition.
If the DOJ and FBI have been cleared of that corruption – wouldn’t we see at least a few people step forward and breathe a sigh-of-relief?
There is a conspicuous absence of indignation, which likely means the aforementioned concerns have not been addressed. So it is against that backdrop where we review highlights from the last week and accept a disconcerting landscape. more here
According to Benjamin Fullfurd, there are a massive amount of witnesses to testify against the Pedo losers. He says they are better than hidden to protect them from certain death in many cases.
I have no idea if that’s true.
The only whistles the MSM will hear are “racist” dog whistles.
Welcome to remnants of the Øbamboozler’s corruption of Third World Shitholism backed by the Leftist Progressive Rats with the willing assistance of the Bought & Paid for MSM who continue to provide cover for them!
sundance’s recognition that the primary reason why whistleblowers don’t blow their whistles is fear is based on simplicity and Occam’s razor, and therefore most likely true. Troubling, but true.
Side note to @LocoBlancoSaltine: Dog whistles are only heard by dogs, right? So what does that make the MSM? (-;
As bad as it became under (redacted), I don’t think it began there. I believe if you go back to the post-Reagan era you will find the beginning of what we now call the Deep State taking root and spreading like the cancer it is. I mean, look – GHW Bush, Clinton x2, W x2 and (redacted) x2 – almost THIRTY YEARS of no one of significance or conservative influence looking at what’s being done and to whom. Same with the other snakes of the Medusa’s head of the Intelligence Community.
@TommyBoy in IN – Look back even farther. The ground was prepared during the Progressive Era by the likes of Teddy Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson. The actual seeds of the deep state were sown by Franklin D. Roosevelt by means of his creation, with the help of a complicit Congress, of the regulatory state. It was the abdication of authority by (mostly) Congress in the form of creating administrative agencies with the power to write regulations virtually indistinguishable from congressional legislation that gave us the pestilent swamp of today.
I might point out that Dwight Eisenhower warned us about a large part of it (the military industrial complex) in 1961.
Power is a hard thing to give up. It maybe best to shutter the doors and start afresh. But the lefts deep connections and embedded pals will fight any attempts at making any effective repairs, restarts or make overs to the DOJ or FBI. The creation has gotten out of the cage and has no desire of returning.
@Uncle Al: Eisenhower might have warned us but I was only 2 then. You are quite correct, though – FDR and his satanic minions have been working this for a LOOOOONG time.
@TommyBoy in IN – I was only eleven in January of 1961, and what’s more I was living overseas (Dad was Navy). But I sure was aware of Ike’s warning by the time I was in my late teens, and by late 20s I had figured out that Ike really did know what he was talking about.
FDR was a nightmare in ways that most do not even realize. Bad, bad guy.
I don’t watch TV or movies much now days, but I never watch Fed good guy stuff. They have ruined it with their bull and corruption.
Unless we see them make one on putting all these people in jail, every last one that did this. Then I may put it on endless replay on Main Street.
@Austrian: You’re so right. FDR & his people (and the American eugenics movement) taught Adolf and his boys how to do what they did. How to manipulate people, how to take and maintain power, all of it.

Because, you know… When the Sun rises in the East, same as it ever has, it’s because there’s a vast Illuminati conspiracy preventing it from rising in the North, same as it ever has.

As an old man who lived through WW2 let my update you on Ike. He hated with a white hot hate a rich industrialist whose connections to FDR, later HST, got him 4 stars before Ike – by years- and then 5 stars before Ike, this time only weeks.
When Ike got his 4th star he said – was not fit to be Mac Arthur’s “boot black” (had he said this 20 years later his political career would have been dead)!
When Ike got his 5th star he loudly denounced – with “How can a rich industrialist who has never been in combat be a “Field Marshal”?!@#?!&”
This of us over 15 when Ike left office knew precisely at whom Ike was directing his “Military Industrial Complex” The Press was just as corrupt 70 years ago as it is today. They pretended not to know the man at whom Ile directed his anger. The man knew. When Ike was sure to win the election in ’52 – resigns as HST’s Sec State! Liberals all pretend to not know who Ike was mad at and why Ike was mad. Conservatives knew. I knew in ’60 and I am passing on my knowledge to you who must carry on!
If you can not get the name of this rich coward – ask me. I have know his name since 1944!
@an ol exJarhead – I’d never heard it put the way you did, but you make good sense. You must be referring to George Marshall. Only he and MacArthur got their fifth stars before Eisenhower, and MacArthur held Ike’s esteem.
