Technically I'm a White Anglo Saxon Celtic Protestant which I guess would make me a W.A.S.C.P . It's pronounced just like W.A.S.P.. The "C" is silent to make this joke work. But please take note outside of that acronym the "C" will NOT be silent. It's because of that "C" you're reading this and all my other posts here. It's because of that "C" you're getting this talking to which will continue below.
I'm pretty sure I was kicked out of the American Upper WASP class because the "C" made me a little to hot under the collar. I was a little too insouciant at all the wrong times. I told too many inappropriate jokes in the wrong company. At the time I didn't understand why I didn't fit in. I now realize today the problem was I still had one foot in the Lower Middle Class. I still remember going to bed hungry and making Walton jokes about how loud my siblings and my stomachs would growl. Goodnight John Boy. Goodnight Mary Ellen. Goodnight Elizabeth. .......Grrllllrrlrlllow........Goodnight Grrllllrrlrlllow. (we would all laugh). That was in the 1970s when inflation went through the roof and it was hard to feed three kids on my father's salary as a 6th Grade English teacher. So what do you do? Easy. Your mother gets a job. The same thing happened all across America. It was a cultural phenomenon: the mothers went to work. For all millennials read up on the energy crisis in the 1970s and the resulting inflation.
Mothers got all sorts of jobs so they could keep their families in the Middle Class. My mother started a cleaning business and my father got a part time job on the weekends. For me and my siblings that meant cleaning rich people's houses every weekend during the summer. I couldn't clean very well in the beginning being 6 years old but as I got older I was given more challenging tasks like cleaning out the area under sinks. It's hard to screw that job up. Or like being placed on the front lawn with a big bucket of warm soapy water, a scrub brush, a hose and all the garbage cans inside and outside the house. There's no physical problem having an 8 year old kid do that. Looking back at it now though there was a huge emotional cost of doing that. Because when you're a poor kid on the front lawn of a water front mansion everyone in the neighborhood knows who the hired help is including the kids your age that might be sailing by or sun bathing on a little beach as they wait for you and your family to finish cleaning their house. ;-)
I'm almost 50 and I can still feel the shame of that to this day. It took me a long time to even remember it had happened. I had locked it away so well it had completely left my conscious mind. I only had brought it back up after doing the 4th step of the 12 steps of AA. Steps are sort of like what a soulless WASP with little to no respect for the Sanctity of God might undertake trying to complete the 33 degrees of Free Masonry. The analogy is those "Degrees" would sort of be like AA "Steps". And the 4th AA step is "Make a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.". I spent an entire year writing everything down and doing that was crucial for me to build a strong foundation for my sobriety. I had failed at getting sober previously. Only a year spent writing a fearless moral inventory gave me the self awareness required for long term sobriety.
I mention the moral inventory above not just because it applies to my story and why I'm here. I also mention a moral inventory because having observed all the players involved in this I'm astounded by the lack of moral clarity. I have said many times my having read the Godfather Trilogy is the only way I can make sense of this story. But as gruesome as parts of life in the Italian Mafia can get I always thought Vito Corleone and his son Michael were extremely moral men. They were doing what they did partially because Italians were just slightly above the Jews and the Irish in the cultural Apartheid that plagued America in those days. For example in Boston you'd frequently see signs like "Irish Need Not Apply". Or you would see golf clubs refuse to admit "The Jews!(tm)". And sometimes that was pretty insulting in the case of the very first country club literally named "The Country Club". It was located in Brookline Massachusetts just outside of Boston where a lot of Jews lived however they wouldn't accept Jews as members. So if you were a successful Jew living in Brookline and drove to work or took the train into downtown Boston you'd have to pass The Country Club twice a day and be reminded of your cultural inferiority.
Cultural Apartheid today is only a fraction of what it was. One of the reasons I'm here to understand the justification for the plethora of moral shortcuts I've seen taken by the Deep State and Hillary & Co. Far from being poor and ostracized Jews, Irish and Italians the organized crime syndicate running this country is almost all made up of White Anglo Saxon Protestants a significant portion are associated with Yale University. Basically I'm here because I just don't get it. I don't understand where the justification was for all the Ersatz morality on flagrant display down in DC.
I don't get it. Full Stop. I don't see any moral course corrections at all within the WASP Mafia. None. Zilch. Michael and his father Vito would be disgusted by what WASP organized crime has become. They'd be disgusted not by the crimes, how could they be. They'd be disgusted by the lack of class and by the lack of common sense. The Deep State may have vindictively killed Seal Team 6 aboard Extortion 17. This isn't Seth Rich who kind of did something wrong. This is Seal Team 6. They didn't do anything wrong. I don't get. Vito and Michael don't get it. No one gets it. The only people that would get something like that is a psychotic as far as I can tell. Only a psychotic would murder innocent men within an organization of 8,985 trained assassins.
And I don''t get how the Deep State is throwing out all the stops right now. The game is over. What we're seeing right now is unconscionable. It's Adolph Hitler throwing boys and old men at a Million Russians with Tanks on the outskirt of Berlin. It's needless killing for no purpose. I don't get it.
The game is over. I've been following this story for 9 months and witnessing a dejected James SlowWalker Comey testify in Congress last week clearly demonstrates there's no fight left in the Deep State and Hillary & Co. Trump may be obnoxious and may have his name written in giant gold letters on the front of his house but he wouldn't have done that if he couldn't back it up. He's been winning since he got into office. And I hate to tell ya Deep State groupies he's going to keep winning until you give up.
I pray the Deep State and Hillary & Co throw in the white towel because it will just get worse and worse for them the longer they drag this out. I also pray that Hillary and Bill and John Podesta have the class of character to confess and explain what's happened to the all the Antifa and all the Vicious Hipsters out there who have no idea what's going on. They've been lied to as well and more precisely "Flattered" by George Soros and his money.
The irony of ironies is the Anti-Fascists, the AntiFa, don't know they're working for literal Fascists. George H.W. Bush has managed this Circus since 1963. And everyone in America is about to find out who his father put in power over in Germany all those years ago. And more importantly his part in an attempted Fascist takeover of the United States which was only stopped at the last minute by Marine Colonel Smedley Butler. His story is highly relevant to the American Tragedy we're seeing unfold around us daily.
The Business Plot
Sadly from all I have learned these past 9 months about the profound lack of moral character and mind numbing dearth of ethics within the Deep State and Hillary & Co I would be very surprised if the perps did the right thing and came clean to the American people We The People.
:-D

Interesting as ever DM. Too much C your DNA is just as much a hindrance this side of the pond. Beautifully mannered but ice cold Old Etonions were the bane of my life at Oxford and in the City.

"ice cold Old Etonions were the bane of my life"
Yep. I don't talk to any of the people I went to school with anymore. The divide is just too massive to cross.
