19 Seconds

The video was all of 19 seconds long and featured a “day at the zoo” with the focus being on the elephants there. Within a year, the number of videos that had joined it topped 25 million. By the summer of 2006, 100 million video views per day had been uploaded. Then, just a short time later, it was purchased for $1.65 billion in stock.

We did not realize it in the 2005-2006 era, but the new technology would unleash hours of free music and free films. Those items are archived along with those personal videos of loving couples uploading their precious records of wedding vows taken, baby’s first steps, the awkward 3-year-old’s ballet performance and more. Pet parents eager to share their puppy or kitty’s amazing hijinks started posting, and soon thereafter things like future scientist types attempting to ride a bicycle through a burning sheet if plywood.

Health and DIY videos soon became a mainstay, without which I wouldn't know that a month long diet of asparagus and tuna fish would not make my tits bigger after all or how to replace the tri-faced secondary giggler spring on a 62 Jaguar XKE. 

But more importantly, an information revolution of self-important political pundits who freely posted their opinions came about. These videos ranged from pathetic sound bytes to earth-shattering revelations. No longer were the Powers That Be able to decree that it was their way or the highway. 

When, in the summer of 2016, Wikileaks brought forth tens of thousands of emails that had come from Seth Rich’s DNC access, people who had been on the fence about which candidate to select in the 2016 election suddenly knew that they could now only choose either a third-party candidate or one Donald Trump.

This factor played a major role in allowing DJT to clinch that election and the hilariously disbelieving talking heads & their ridiculous statements as the entire nation faced the final moments of the vote count were saved for perpetuity. (rumors that Rachel Maddow’s head exploded when Florida was declared for Trump remain only that)  The Young Turks 2016 election night leftist meltdown has gone down as one of the most enjoyable examples of the on air insanity of  smug third rate media losers.

Meanwhile, the video site’s content creators upped the game in terms of audio and video quality and developed special effects on offer to content creators. A guy could present his views of political realities while the cartoon/AI fish in the bowl leaped up to ask questions or offer critiques as the straight man. It was not always just your cutting-edge ideas but how cleverly you could keep your audience entertained that made you a success.

Of course, Google is basically a Deep State operation. So it was not surprising that people offering up political views that differed from the directed narrative had specific vids de-monetized. In some cases, entire series were eliminated if the content was found unacceptable. But even as the platform took away certain points of view, others managed to elude the censors and create careers commensurate with their talents. We know as much as we rely on it, it's a tech product subject to turbulent tides. Anyone who remembers the products that once dominated our tech world knows that a viable alternative could be right around the corner. No one knows what the future will hold.

A Good Monday Morning

Where Things Stand

"Fighting fascism,” for the American Jacobins who lead the Democratic Party, means opposing any attempt to flush the corruption out of the entrenched bureaucracy, just as their pet phrase “our democracy” actually refers to the matrix of grift and despotic activism that drives their political operating system. That is exactly how and why the USAID was so crucial to spread captured taxpayer spoils as NGO salaries for the gender studies grads to play “activist,” so as to inflict their special brand of sadistic power madness over the land — to keep the game going.

Now, USAID is scattered to the winds and all they have left is their installed base of federal judges and the horde of lawfare lawyers who feed them bogus cases to halt the remaining work of Mr. Trump’s executive branch clean-up operation. Remember: Robespierre, leader of the Jacobins in the French Revolution, was a lawyer. Their version of defending “our democracy” in 1793 was the Reign of Terror that sent at least 17,000 political opponents to the guillotine. 

Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) is the Democrats’ Robespierre. He is promising his own reign of terror when his party recaptures Congress in the 2026 “midterm” election. Norm Eisen is his chief lawyer and legal strategist. His sole aim is recapture power in order to restore the Democrats’ sadistic regime of thought-control and the money-flows that feed it. That’s where things stand for the moment.   

Jamie 'the rat' Raskin (D-MD)

The game now is to goad President Trump into any kind of executive action in defiance of this legal insurrection that would subject him to impeachment after January 2027, when a new Congress is seated, theoretically with a Democratic majority. There are several flaws in the Raskin / Eisen plan-of-action. One is their supposition that the Democratic Party is popular enough to win a Congressional majority in 2026, or that they will enjoy the installed devices of electoral cheating to achieve victory no matter what.

The party is currently blundering wildly in support of obviously insane actions that a vast majority voters oppose, such as stopping the deportation of illegal immigrants, allowing men to compete in women’s sports, and opposing proof of citizenship in federal elections. Which is to say that the voters are onto exactly how crazy and destructive the Democratic Party has become.

The question is: what can be done about this lawfare insurrection. An easy solution would be for Congress to pass a law restricting the power of federal judges to issue orders that affect the nation as a whole outside their own designated districts.

 A much simpler remedy would be for the Supreme Court (SCOTUS) to rule in any of a number of cases now on their docket that the lawfare antics of the federal judges amount to interference with an independent executive branch — in short, that the judiciary can’t usurp the executive powers of the President, which include the conduct of foreign policy, the ability to manage personnel in executive agencies, and certain issues around the spending of taxpayer dollars.

A different sort of remedy would be the application by the DOJ of federal statute 18 USC 371, Conspiracy to Defraud the United States against Norm Eisen and his colleagues-in-lawfare Jamie Raskin for attempting to maliciously bury the executive branch in litigation for the purpose of nullifying the executive powers of the president.

The Jacobins of 1793 were mad for blood, too, and they spilled a whole lot of it. By the summer of 1794, the blood was finally spouting out of their own necks. . . and then the Jacobin reign of terror came to a sudden and complete end."
