Power has done what it always does

Lord Acton, a British historian and moralist, offered us the opinion that there is an observable outcome for all of those who seek power. “Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely”. No, as is often the case, he was not the first to express this opinion but he is the one remembered.

Understand the effects of power and you easily discover hidden truths. The political fog curtain currently covering hidden truths, power and corruption in our nation’s capital is slowly being lifted by the light and heat of truth. Those hiding within its shadows are about to be revealed.

I do not care if you like and respect Donald Trump or hate him as a person or President. Did you ever or do you now believe that the President of the United States is so intelligent and maybe even egregious (outstandingly bad) that he could have single handedly done everything for which he is being pursued, cursed and abused and do it without leaving a single clue? Have you even considered your own answers to two obvious, single word questions: How and Why. Do it now! Then consider another single word question: Who?

With the self inflicted ending to Andrew McCabe’s career in the F.B.I., men and women hiding in positions of personal power must certainly realize that they are now possibly standing in the long line of retribution and they are the ones who will suddenly be the pursued. How long will it be before they attack each other to protect themselves? How high is higher up?

Applied personal power is frightening and contagious and begs these final questions: Why are these people seeking more power and who do they wish to control?
