Why the Political Elites Cheat and Lie About Everything
In fact they DO - and this is why we can't trust anything Joe Biden and his government says.
Recall when Bill Clinton asked Dick Morris what would happen if the public found out he had sex with an intern in the Oval Office? Morris told him he'd be destroyed in the polls. So Clinton responded by lying to the American people. Clinton was caught lying to a grand jury and charged with perjury and obstruction of justice (ordering his personal secretary Betty Curry to find and destroy any evidence of the relationship). These constituted the impeachment counts he would ultimately face.
But why? Why did he lie? Why try to cover it up? If this was all “just about sex” Clinton should have just faced the music - which, following his impeachment - he did. But that was only AFTER all the lies had been exposed.
Now, 30 years later, we have a much better understanding of the type of ethics engaged in by “the elites” that rule us, and the widespread corruption and lying they’re willing to engage in - to win.
This January, we saw release of a Rasmussen survey that is utterly shocking - yet confirms what we’re seeing in the media literally every day.
Among all Americans, just 7% said they would want their candidate to win by cheating. But that number rose to 35% among the elite 1% and skyrocketed to 69% among those who are part of the politically obsessed 1%, meaning they talk about politics every day. - The Daily Signal
First, who are these “elites”? Well, if they’re Ivy League educated and “politically obsessed”, more than likely they’re in politics - either an elected official or among the orbit of policy-making bureaucratic “experts” throughout our federal and state governments - and the media. Read that as the alphabet soup of agencies that dictate every dimension of our lives, and the other alphabet soup of mainstream journalists who protect the like-minded. They run our intel agencies, our national security apparatus, the Department of Homeland Security, Department of Justice, the EPA, the FDA and all the public health agencies (NIH, CDC, etc) - and the mainstream media who cover them. And throw in the DNC and RNC for good measure. This aristocracy inbreeds - they marry each other, their kids marry each other. And nobody’s kid ever has to take a filthy, dangerous or disgusting job, or shop among the smelly Walmart people.
That’s who they are.
But what drives them to be so ethically deficient?
“When we win in competition, in particular when we establish we are above others in rank, we will feel more powerful,” says Dacher Keltner, a psychologist at the University of California, Berkeley who did not take part in the research. “And dozens of studies have found that the simple feeling of power makes people feel above the scrutiny of others and act in impulsive, self-gratifying and unethical ways. Feelings of power, whether it comes from wealth, a person’s position in a hierarchical structure or in this case competition, can indeed lead to various abuses like lying and stealing.” - JORDANA CEPELEWICZ, Scientific American, Feb 2, 2016
That Scientific American article describes someone we all know to a “T”:
America’s elites have become accustomed to winning by any means necessary. Perhaps they shaded ethics starting back in high school or prep school, to get the grades and scores they needed to get into the “elite” universities. Once there, they quickly mastered the art of “winning” at all costs. And so on, in grad school and in their first “real” jobs. They do what it takes to win. And now they’ve “arrived” at the station where they’ve always yearned to be - where they belong: in charge of things. Making decisions. And they’re no more prone to losing now than they’ve ever been. Nor are they prone to do the hard work, the math, the real science.
Think I’m overgeneralizing? Chris Rufo has made a cottage industry out of exposing Ivy League cheats who’ve attained the “elite 1 percent” status. Rufo’s reportage has already captured a number of Ivy League scalps, and he’s just getting warmed up. My only hope is h turns his guns on the federal bureaucracy.
The elites’ distressed ethical miasma infiltrates and corrupts everything they touch. Never having to “show your math” will do that to you. This is just a tiny sample from the recent (daily) loads of manure they’ve shoveled on us with absolutely zero evidence:
If you stand six feet apart, you won’t catch or transmit the virus - no study or analysis was ever conducted to support this.
If you wear a mask, you won’t catch or transmit the virus - dozens of studies over the past 100 years, with another dozen in the last 15 years, directly refuted this claim.
If you get vaccinated, you can’t catch or transmit the virus - contradicted by how the vaccine works and never demonstrated in trials. Completely made up.
If you’ve been vaccinated and get infected, the severity will be significantly reduced - no study ever conducted tested for or confirmed this and was contradicted by actual documented cases that showed the more vaccines a person had, the worse their symptoms were when they caught the virus - which they were more likely to do.
An epidemic of Type 2 diabetes and heart disease has followed the FDA’s nutrition guidance - which remains unchanged in 50 years - while the treatments for Type 2 diabetes and heart disease at best only treat symptoms and actually worsens the diseases, leading inevitably to progression and early death.
Prescription of hormone blocking therapy and even sex reassignment surgery is “desperately needed healthcare” for minor children - which is completely contraindicated in all serious studies and is now confirmed by an avalanche of depression, suicides and mental illness among affected young people.
Increased CO2 causes global warming - in fact, Earth is near its coldest point in its entire history, is in the beginning of a gradual warming trend, and historic analyses show CO2 levels follow rising temperatures, not the other way around, and CO2 levels today are among the lowest in Earth’s history.
The massive spending in The America Rescue Plan, the Infrastructure bill, and the Inflation Reduction Act would have “no effect on inflation” - and yet when it did, the inflation was “just transitional” - and then it wasn’t. Prices skyrocketed, interest rates have soared, and inflation is still with us three years later.
This elite fraudster funded the Gain of Function research of coronaviruses at the Wuhan Institute - thus causing the epidemic - then was wrong about every response to the epidemic he created, then almost certainly shared in the royalties from the vaccines he foisted on us:
Joe Biden is the consummate president for the elites - wealthy beyond our imagination, accrued on a government salary - and thoroughly corrupt. Biden has lied and been wrong about everything his entire government career - which spans a period longer than the average American’s age. Biden’s previous runs at the presidency (1984, 1988 and 2008) crashed on the myriad lies and plagiarisms he’d engaged in, in what was already a long career. It helped that there were better alternatives for the Democrat nomination in previous elections - but in 2020, for Democrats it was lying, cheating, corrupt Joe or give even worse a run at it.
The thing about the elites is, they’re wrong about everything. Every policy prescription is just another “game” to “win”. There’s no math there, no hard work and actual science. It’s just another opportunity to pound their ideas - no matter how wrong they are - into your head. And they’ve got the Whole of Government engaged with them in doing this.
That’s why the terms “misinformation” and “disinformation” are all the rage - it’s how they circle the wagons, make you an outsider. It’s why they seriously thought a Disinformation Governance Board was a seriously good idea that was seriously needed. Seriously - this totally unserious person is an idiot, yet we were supposed to entrust her with calling balls and strikes on literally everything:
This is why Americans no longer trust their government - really, none of it. It’s also why many believe there’s almost certainly going to be another run at election interference by our national security elites.
There’s also a significant likelihood that 2024 will see lies manufactured by agents and veterans of the national-security state, as in 2016 and 2020. Then the press will get a third opportunity. Those reporters and editors who are still capable of participating in the media business in good faith need to start thinking now about how they will deal with this if it happens again. - Holman W. Jenkins, Jr., Wall Street Journal
These people are out of touch with us Normal Americans. Most have never really worked hard at anything. Like Biden, they’ve enjoyed a lifetime of “failing up” where everything they touch is broken, yet somehow they get rich and promoted. They’re surrounded by people just like themselves (fellow bubble people). They look down on you as serfs to be ruled over and their judgment on everything, despite a lifetime of being wrong, is beyond question.
If you want to truly understand what this election is about - it’s about the elite 1 percent fighting tooth and nail to preserve their ecosystem.
