Who is pulling the puppet strings in Washington, DC?

Original Article

Posted By: Magnante, 4/3/2023 8:04:47 AM

Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) appeared last week on Jesse Watters’s show on Fox News to express his opposition to the RESTRICT Act. (snip) Watters informed Graham that South Carolina’s senior senator supports the bill. When Graham looked befuddled, Watters explained that Graham happened to be among the cosponsors of the bill and that information is available online. Graham eventually was compelled to admit that he may be co-sponsoring the legislation without reading it and that it made him “look bad”. (snip) We must hence infer that Graham was not always the decision-maker on key issues. The question is: who is pulling the strings of Lindsey's puppet?

It didn't start with Graham. He is one of one hundred. What we are concerned with goes back to 2008. How did a shifty rootless vagabond with no singular achievements to speak of, doubtful legal status rocket to the Presidency of the United States? Who ran it for the eight year he occupied the office ? And are the same people/entities running it even now? There are people, I am sure, who know the answers. We, the voters need to know before we go to the polls again.

Biden isn't the only puppet in Washington. This isn't how government is supposed to work. How many other bills have been put up without the consultation of their authors? They put on a pretty good show though.

Nearly all of these Congressional and Senatorial buffoons are front men/women. The actual legislation is engineered by snot nosed, hipster staffers and interns. That’s who runs Washington DC.

Another thought. If Graham is really ticked off by this, expect someone in his office to be fired.

The Deep State pukes operate both independently to line their bank accounts and as a group when threatened with honesty and normalcy, as with Trump's election. And they all seem to track the WEF one world government plans, too.

NO Senator or Member of Congress reads all these bills for comprehension. They don't care what's in the small print. Graham didn't bat an eye when confronted by Watters. He knows he's got a lifetime sinecure compliments of the people of South Carolina. He's got his orders on matters like this...ask his Chief of Staff. BTW: This is nothing new, stretching back to likely the First Congress.

My advice to the author, don’t ask a question you cannot answer. Once again, we are subjected to an article filled with accusations but not one solution. Americans are tired of this. We need answers. We need names. We need a little less conversation and a little more action, please.

The whole process is actually quite simple, Foir the past 15 years the Autocrats have figured out how to make "the vote" meaningless and as a result, the accountability to the electorate has been negated. This is the beginning of the end if we do not recognize this and STOP IT.

If you are going to ask the question, you should at least TRY to answer it. So, who IS pulling the puppet strings? Who makes Joe Biden dance? Anyone? No theories? Many suggest it is the Obama crew that animates Biden, but even that is a cop out. Obama himself was even a puppet. W Bush 1 & 2, Obama 1 & 2, Biden ` - all the same thing. For answers to the question "who pulls the puppet strings" it is necessary to look in some dark places we are not allowed to look. I'll give you a hint: 20th Century fascism was a cabal of government and private ownerhship with government in control. Now, mulitnaitional corporations controll the governments they have bought and paid for. Look for who is in charge down that rabbit hole. New Globalist Fascism. It's what's for dinner in the West in the 21st Century. Until there was Trump, who proceeded to kick over the board. Trump 2024

The indictment and pending arraignment of Donald Trump signal a new era for the Republican Party.

(snip) The Swamp wing of the party, strongest among DC-based politicians, particularly the Senate, will be bypassed and rendered irrelevant if it does not follow the lead of predominantly state and local officials, who are well-positioned to utilize the tool that Democrats have now legitimized.

The reaction to the unprecedented indictment of President Trump was predictable.

The presumption of innocence is the standard in any civilized democracy (snip) It is unlikely that Pelosi isn’t aware of the legal standards in the U.S. Perhaps her feeling of schadenfreude got the better of her, or maybe this is a warning for others who support the MAGA agenda.

The indictment of President Trump is unprecedented; no President, former or current has ever been indicted before.

Because of course… Despite the Biden White House having complete control over the issues and events during their withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan, which included the murder of 13 U.S. servicemen during a terrorist attack at the Kabul airport, the Biden administration has to blame Donald Trump.

Washington - The Supreme Court on Thursday denied West Virginia's request to let it fully enforce a state law that bans transgender women and girls from participating on public school sports teams consistent with their gender identity. In an unsigned order, the court denied West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey's emergency request to let the state enforce the 2021 law. Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas dissented, saying they would have granted the request. Earlier this year, a lower federal court ordered the state to temporarily stop halt the ban against Becky Pepper-Jackson, a 12-year-old transgender girl who sued the state over the law shortly after its passage.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom is quickly (and calculatingly) attempting to solidify himself as a top contender for the Democratic nomination for president in the event Joe Biden bows out, and he’s gone about it primarily by sniffing around in the backyards of the red states that many of his former constituents have fled to by hundreds of thousands. Most recently Newsom traveled to Florida, ostensibly on grounds to note his supposed concern about kids allegedly not being taught “real history” (read: woke history). But in reality, his visit was to try and tweak the state’s governor, Ron DeSantis, ahead of what is being widely speculated to be an announcement next month

Under the administration’s proposal, schools would be prohibited from adopting or applying a “one-size-fits-all” policy that categorically bans transgender students from participating on sports teams consistent with their gender identity. “Such bans fail to account for differences among students across grade and education levels,” the Education Department said Thursday in a news release. “They also fail to account for different levels of competition — including no-cut teams that let all students participate
