I know this article, The Mysterious Opposition Researcher Working in the White House Lawyer's Office, is a bit dated as it was written approximately two weeks ago, on 11 February 2018, however, I came across it on the day it was written and this is the first time I’ve had since then to write about important issues concerning our nation, so I think this is an oldie-but-goodie. It came to my attention being as it struck me as quite a bit odd that an opposition researcher would be working in the office of the White House Legal Counsel, effectively in the office of the President’s attorney. I also note that apparently I am not the only person to have had this line of thinking occur, as other people in the article have found the position of Mr. Roman to be unusual. I also find it important to keep up to date on the behaviors of known enemies, and the Koch brothers are a known and confirmed enemy of working class, middle class, people and effectively every person who isn’t rich, white, or male, particularly Democrats, so it occurs to me that some light must be shed on the people working for them too, to expose them to the cleansing energy of the light of the truth. In dealing with noxious or unwelcome floral pests such as weeds, it becomes necessary to dig the entire plant out of the soil at the roots, and in many cases it is such also with noxious human beings in positions of political power or activity.
There are also a number of things about the particular behaviors of Michael Roman himself that strike me as being unusual if not outright alarming. First among these is that Mr. Roman is a particular creature of the Koch Brothers, Charles and David. From the article, The Mysterious Opposition Researcher Working in the White House Lawyer's Office
“He reports to White House counsel Don McGahn, who represented the conservative Koch network as a lawyer during the period when Roman was working for the Kochs’ Freedom Partners group as head of research — a $269,000-a-year job that involved tracking the activities of Democratic political organizers and donors.”
This is especially and particularly an unholy, and vile set of facts because the fact that a lawyer, Mr. McGahn, who worked for and represented the Koch Brothers, is who a man who also worked for the Koch Brothers, now reports to in the White House. This is alarming because people in groups that are supposed to be diametrically opposed to each other’s interests, such as big business and government, are not supposed to working for each other on the same team. This is a clear conflict of interest to have a man who worked for people who have a well established dislike of regulation of business working for the very man responsible for enforcing the laws of our nation. Also, filling the ranks of those in opposition to one’s interests with people favorable to one’s interests is a known tactic of criminal conspirators, such as the Mafia buying prosecutors and judges. This fulsome, vile, liliputian crap is not new, it is not original, it is not improved. The prostitution of our government to the wealthy is very much the same excremental garbage that has been happening since the times of the Bible.
Also, from the article, The Mysterious Opposition Researcher Working in the Office of the White House Lawyer,”Roman, whose 25-person intelligence-gathering unit was officially disbanded by the Kochs in 2016, was hired by Donald Trump’s campaign to oversee poll-watching in the final weeks before the election and was among a handful of unannounced hires who quietly joined the White House soon after Trump’s inauguration.
He’s not involved in the kind of advance work that researchers hired by previous administrations have handled, according to interviews with half a dozen current and former White House officials and advisers.”
The facts I find to be disturbing about this passage are two: 1) Mr. Roman was hired by the team of the Thump campaign in the final weeks of the campaign, which would have been the end of October, around the time that suspicions of Russian involvement began to become fully public, with Roman being hired to oversee poll-watching, which smacks of Russian interests in affecting peoples’ votes by disinformation and propaganda via social media, and 2) the second alarming fact is the secrecy in which Mr. Roman’s activities and hiring were and are cloaked in. I find it to be too much of a coincidence in a case full of too many suspicious coincidences, to be merely chance that Mr. Roman was hired to an office representing the future President as an attorney, at the same time as suspicious activities that could affect the political future of that self same President while in office began to surface. Having been trained as an attorney and a criminal investigator, I am trained to put facts together to form a pattern, and to think ahead, and the pattern I see here is one I wholeheartedly find to be most disgusting and unholy. (I am not a practicing attorney and cannot accept clients or give legal advice.) I am also trained to recognize the guilty, and secrecy, including vague titles or terminology, seemingly undefined organizational roles where nobody knows what someone is doing, use of euphemisms for terms that should be readily apparently clear in meaning, such as “He doesn’t suffer fools gladly” instead of “He has a temper”, is all a characteristic pattern of behavior belonging to a few basic groups of people, which are approximately thrice in number: 1) Spies, 2) Criminals, 3) Persons who fear retaliation from other people for violating social norms, mores, and values. These three groups are not mutually exclusive of each other, as a spy is a person who violates the laws of a nation state, a city, a town, a village, a corporation intentionally by stealing information and may therefore be classified as a criminal, and criminals may fear retaliation from others.
Finally, there is one other passage containing a fact I find to be loathsome about Mr. Roman. From the article, The Mysterious Opposition Researcher Working in the Office of the White House Lawyer, ““Within the research world, he cultivates this ‘man of the world’ mystery,” said one former administration official. “Like, he was the guy who you would talk to if you want to find a Hungarian hacker in Hong Kong.”
Whoa. Full stop. Full and complete stop. Either this former administration official admitted effectively that the Koch Brothers are responsible or had some part in hiring hackers for the Thrump Maladministration or they are playing with the minds of the media, investigators, and the public and doing a pathologically, piss poor job of it intentionally. There is no other logical reason for a person who knows their boss is under criminal investigation and that they are treading on perilously thin ice to say this to a reporter and make it a matter of public record. While they may not have actually made a de facto admission of where they found a Hungarian hacker, this is another factoid that is too much of a coincidence to be mere chance and needs to be investigated further at all opportunities. Hungary is part of the former Soviet Bloc, and Russia is known by now to have used hackers to microtarget Americans in our presidential election of 2016. And the Koch Brothers’ Father, Fred Koch, is known to have made his money in the former Soviet Union, with Charles and David inheriting that money upon their Father’s death. They are literally wealthy solely by dint of the life work and death of a man whose money they did nothing to earn. My working theory right now is that the Koch Brothers and company knew that Donald J. Trump Sr. would be a toxic candidate from the very beginning, and would therefore have baggage under the law, which is why they hired their lawyer to represent Herr Gropenfuhror in his lying, cheating, scandalous perversion of law and decency. And Mr. Roman is likely there to dig up dirt on Robert S. Mueller III. Projection is a particularly common tactic of the guilty and those who have no case, as well as being a favorite tactic of the odious attorney Roy Cohn, who was a mentor to Thump.
There are a combination of things that Democrats need to do right now to stop this train wreck from destroying our Republic and our rights once and for all 1) We need to actively,consciously, and continuously teach others the importance of psychology(the scientific study of how individuals [human beings] think and act) and sociology (the scientific study of how individual human beings act in groups) without waiting for others to do it for us so we cannot be taken advantage of; 2) We need to support public education and teachers, defending them against attack in all forms actively, now more than ever before, especially given other current events; and 3) We need to pressure our leaders relentlessly to form a message that says we are not simply merely not our opponents, that we have something substantial to offer to the working class and middle classes that make up the vast majority of Americans. All of this must be a multiple-pronged approach taken in concert as an active process in order to avoid the subversion of the minds of the working and middle classes by the rich oppressor class and their mercenaries of the mouth. The human mind is our most valuable resource and our first defense against mental terrorism. Our enemies are using our minds against us, it is long since time to fight back. And part of that is getting rid of those existing mercenaries of the mouth and mind who have previously participated in the corruption of the past, men and women such as Mr. Roman, not merely the top of the weeds.
