The English proverb coined by William Pitt concerning Absolute power corrupting absolutely is understood as an outcome of holding such power. So why then is it so hard for so many of our fellow Americans to grasp what is happening inside our governments administrative state?
How can it be believed by so many that Trump can have fulfilled that proverb concerning absolute power, and yet at the same time they ignore that there is very good reason to believe that those, who Trump sees as enemies of our Democracy, who actually do wield power over this world even feeding its wars, cannot possibly be fulfilling this proverb.
Think about it. Trump is supposed to have led the Jan 6Th incursion into the White House (called an “insurrection”) in order to maintain absolute power, when in fact, he himself never held absolute power. No President does. Not unless he is totally supported by those who do hold it, and even then he is but a puppet. Joe Biden currently occupies that position. The men who do hold absolute power in this nation only do so when they are acting in cooperation, each maintaining their individual role in order to retain their position collectively of power. Collectively these men in key positions make up the administrative Deep State holding as near to absolute power as any group can. And because they hold absolute power when in cooperation with one another they do cooperate and they are corrupt. They can, in fact as we are seeing, take down any enemy (foreign or domestic) of theirs collectively.
These are the men and women that Trump understood to be corrupted by their joint power. And it was these that he went into office determined to remove. He thought that we would understand the need to break up this corrupt portion of our leadership. He was wrong. Though he was supported by conservatives and libertarians, who did understand this corruption, he was wrong to think that absolute power was not really absolute. He was wrong to believe that the dumbing down of our societies education relative to our experiment with the rule by and for the people had not yet been successful.
Individuals within congress are a big part of this corruption that Trump understands to be a powerful enemy within our government. What he was determined to do may cost him his freedom, because ironically by exposing this corruption of power he has only solidified their working together to by any means stop him. Unfortunately, if he is stopped so are we the people, those who understand the consequences and yes even those who don’t. For those consequences are the very corruption that is involved when absolute power is allowed to be wielded.
Some believe that compromise between a two party system is the best deterrent to this corruption. But that cannot be true when the compromise from both parties is really with those in Absolute power. These are the ones directing outcomes. Joining them is what is necessary in order to be a part of the now corrupted power structure.
What can we do? Pray, and hope that enough people will discern this problem and vote to defeat the Administrative States corruption which will come in the 2024 election. Those who are doing this are the three letter agencies. Don’t believe the propaganda.
