For a variety of reasons time after time you have rejected that
message.
You prefer the populism of Sarah Palin, Glenn Beck, Rush
Limbaugh and the Tea Parties. Your enemy of choice is the
"liberal" and government that is too big, that taxes too much
and that offers too many services which you say causes all the
problems. You say Democrats did all this. You say we need to
fight the Arab terrorists who did 9-11. You say the Bible
teaches that all who are not on Israel's side will be destroyed
when Jesus comes. You say that truth lies with conservatism and
libertarianism. And you know you are right and I am wrong
because you love the flag and praise the constitution and the
2nd and 10th amendments and start your Tea Sessions with the
Pledge of Allegiance and a tribute to John Wayne.
The Tea Parties are a plastic bag which prevents grass roots
from touching real soil and growing a natural resistance to the
measures of conquest. The Tea Parties exist to saddle you with
Money Power secret agents for leaders. When you go to a Tea
Party you are shown some candidates for Senator in your state.
One only is a real populist. The other three or four are Money
Power secret agents who are out to drain money and support from
the real populist. In my state the real populist is an Eastern
Washington farmer Clint Didler who actually attacks
Goldman-Sachs and International Finance by name. To defeat him
the Tea Party system offers a constellation of alternative
candidates -- one a Harvard educated Doctor who gives house
calls and opposes abortion and knows all about what we should do
for Health Care and believes in "Constitutionally correct
government, creating jobs and eliminating the national debt."
Another, Chris Widener, is a travelling globalism PR man, who
re-names his trade "successful small businessman" having
"travelled extensively throughout the world" (China, Israel,
London, Dubai etc.) who is a "constitutional conservative, a
believer in smaller government, free enterprise and free markets
that have made America great; and a third is Sean Salazar, who
group up with poor dark skinned people who he says cheered when
Reagan was shot who claims because he can speak to poor people
easily -- and indeed he is a very glib smooth joke making
speaker selling the dream of unity just like Obama did (as if
the American people can't talk to each other without a Money
Power politician acting as go-between!) he can bring unity
while addressing the issues of "jobs, upholding our Constitution
and abolishing tax-and-spend big government." And none of these
three Money Power secret agent candidates spoke at all about
debt, or monetary policy, or credit policy, or organized crime
centered in our leading banking institutions or Israel. Yet the
people filling the Yakima Convention Center didn't seem to care
or notice -- all of them were past 60, most of them well
past.
At the end of the meeting -- no questions were allowed in this
"One Nation Under God Tea Party Forum" of "Candidates Joined in
the Race Against Patty Murray -- there was not vote taken to
see who won -- so the people could quickly narrow down the field
to deliver one strong candidate to go against this Washington
State version of Dianne Feinstein. But that is just it, the One
Nation Under God forum is really designed to keep Patty Murray
in office. Here is the proof. The organizer of the event, the
man who approached local John-Birch style conservative Jerry
Irwin ( a man I once respected for his stand against Bill
Clinton in the '90's) and got him to put up the money for the
event, designed the forum in a way that would lead to the
destruction of the real populist -- whom most of the Yakima
audience seemed to strongly favor anyway -- but there favoring
Clint Didier does not help Clint Didier and this is why. After
the prayer thanking God for the constitution and for his care of
the country, and asking him for small government, low taxes
(again not mentioning debt slavery) and that our
grandchildren may live in freedom -- the pastor layed out the
rules of "helping to defeat Patty Murray with your money. You
write a check to the Tea Party group and they will disburse the
money equally to all of the candidates who spoke. In other
words you write a check for $500 dollars -- $100 will go to the
Tea Party Movement, $100 will go to the man you thought won the
debate and $300 will go to his opponents who are going to do all
they can to cut him down as inferior to a Harvard Doctor on
knowing what to do about Health Care Reform, inferior that a
world-travelling and internationally connected small businessman
in dealing with jobs, and inferior to a guy raised in
neighborhoods dominated by local community-college taught
communism in terms of appealing to minority vote which the rest
of us can't understand -- the organizer even reminded all of us
old people (it was Feb 10, my 61st birthday) that we are dying
off in this country a thousand a day being replaced by
communist-education-system indoctrinated new generation voters
at a very fast rate -- at it was true that I coudn't see most
of the people in attendance being active in politics another
four years -- but I think the organizer said that for the
benefit of the secret agent sabotage candidates so they would
not be discouraged at the reception they got from these old
real-for-sure true-blue paleo-conservatives who require Tea
Party deception to trick them. One fifth of the money went to
the populist candidate and three times that amount when to the
men bent on attacking and diminishing him in the eyes of the
voters. I actually stood up after the debate and the closing
prayer were over -- and told the audience in as loud and calm
and authoritative voice as I could manage -- that they should
disregard the instructions given and give money only to the man
they felt won the debate, that if you believe in competition
over socialism in economics you certainly should believe in it
when you are buying political services from political
candidates. What sense does it make to give one dollar to the
man you want to win and three dollars to the men who are out to
discredit him so Patty Murray -- the Money Power's real choice
-- can win again. (No one has more cause than Patty to sing
"What a friend we have in Jesus," because the "god fearing
patriots" of Washington State are going to bankroll her victory
in a teacup.) Not one of about a 800 people agreed with me.
The organizer responded with "Isn't it great that we live under
a system where anyone can have his say" which got a big
applause. I left the building alone. The grip of the Money
Power on the American people through the Phony Tea Party
sessions is not something real populists are going to be able to
break.
You are going to have Sarah Palin versus Obama in 2012. When
the American people hear the world "populist" they will think of
Palin and Glenn Beck.
I said the Pledge of Allegiance too and I sang the Star Spangled
Banner -- and I actually am the same kind of "liberal" that
Thomas Paine, Patrick Henry, Thomas Jefferson and James Madison
were -- and I too like the Constitution and freedom. But go
to any MR facility and you will find drooling residents who can
also say the pledge of allegiance and pronounce their love of
their country and do so sincerely. I only wish I could tell you
honestly that that is all that is necessary. I felt I could
have blown away all three of those phony Money Power agents by
simply laying out the facts about the money power. That cutting
government spending is not going to reduce the crushing burden
of debt. That big-spending liberals who hold office too long
who spend more than we can afford and tax us too much are not
the root of the problem.
Today I have over 70 news messages and analytical commentaries
from various populist writers - of the most depressing news on
all fronts. These are the darkest days for real
populists. Everywhere the people are perishing for want of
accurate knowledge, for want of leadership that is really on
their side.
I have not really recovered from the
great silence that met me when I spoke up to all those people.
I told them to forgive my rudeness in speaking out and that I
thought that once they analyzed how the Tea Party money
collection was organized and what it was really accomplishing to
undermine the favored populist candidate and to take the money
of his supporters and spend it on his phony secret agent
supporters -- I was reminded of the Cassandrian curse that lies
over my head -- to see and to warn but never to be believed. --
I always had the hope that if I could just once talk to a lot of
people in person that I could awaken people to the real source
of danger -- after my last birthday however I now know better --
the real reason we are all dying before each others eyes. --
So instead of making the usual elaborate
edited news roundup with quotes and links -- my populist social
credit clipping service -- I am just going to forward each of
these articles to my old list
jeffersonianjihad where you can access the archives and
read them albeit without pictures.
If you want to look at these -- the
weight of them -- the defeat of the people each one represents
-- is crushing -- unless of course you are trusting that Ron
Paul, Limbaugh, Beck and Palin and Art Coday the Harvard Doctor
running for Senate in Washington State have it all under
control.
Also you can search the "best" letters
(all of them poorly written, yet the facts are there) by
simply going to
www.rense.com search engine and keying
"Dick Eastman."
Remembering Jesus' words from the cross I can do nothing but
forgive you for following wolves in shepherds' clothing and not
knowing the difference.
I thank my friends for all they have
provided me to pass on -- especially my most admired friend -
who gave my ideas their public test. Jeff and I have shared
something in common with the men who died defending the Alamo.
I think I am out of ammunition for "ol' Betsty" -- I've given
my best shots and nothing came of it -- but if some eleventh
hour 59th minute solution occurs to me I will put it in an essay
and send it to Jeff -- use his search engine.
I am going to be getting ride of my
oldickeastman@q.com
address -- it is too discouraging to read the hundreds of
misinformed and misinforming letters that come each day --
showing me how hopeless reaching the American public really is.
(Yes, I realize that that is the intention of these
counter-propaganda mailings -- but after fifteen years a while
that makes no difference.)
Remember, I will be forwarding this weeks
important messages to
