Turning a blind eye II: sequel

September 4, 2014 by Editor

Any public figure sworn to uphold the law, implicitly, as it was handed down to him/her via our own state and federal legislatures, but, sadly so, finds himself/herself in breach of those duties sworn to, by way of deliberate and complicit negligence, e.g., knowingly and willingly making way to a known drug felon, for carte blanche, is not only an egregious violation of contract and a dereliction of one’s duties, but, moreover, an act of treason in the highest, and thus, punishable to the fullest extent of the law, as our own Montana and federal laws dictate. In fact, Thomas Jefferson, yes, our own Thomas Jefferson, third president of the United States of America, shot and killed a man on the White House lawn for treason!
So, again, for those of you that already know this fact just bear with me, but for those who do not I’m hoping I’ll summon someone out there who not only finds this as loathsome and offensive as I do, but more importantly, who’ll have enough repulsion in them to actually make a difference in eliminating this scoria that’s infectiously ripping at the very fiber of our culture and existence. So, what am I referring to here? I’m talking about the infamous 32 billion dollar a year drug industry that’s flowing up to and through our southern borders. It finds it way all the way to Chicago, the main hub and distribution center for all of North America. How do I know this? Unlike most of you, I’ve done my homework. Nevertheless, for those of you who think this particular strain of scoria haven’t landed in Stevensville, then we really need to sit down and talk about this bridge in Brooklyn! And, for all intents and purposes, for those of you who think you have your head in the game and are astutely aware, but turn a blind eye, I say to you, “The world is a dangerous place, not because of those who do evil, but because of those who look on and do nothing.” – Thomas Jefferson
Needless to say, I’m one of those astutely aware onlookers who’s not only attuned to the alleged drug trafficking in my neighborhood, and I say alleged only because I don’t have any concrete-tangible-empirical evidence to substantiate my claim, but given my background as a retired Social Psychologist I do know the pattern(s). Nevertheless, and getting back to my point, in addition to being attuned, I made it known to several law enforcement officials who say they’re on it, but to no avail this infectiously engulfed strain still remains at large.
Lastly, for all of those law enforcement agencies, the Ravalli County Sheriff’s Office, The Missoula High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area Task Force, The Montana Division of Criminal Investigation, and/or, the DEA, whose eyes and ears fall on this draft and who would appreciate any details of what I may have witnessed, then you may find me at DMS Latitude 46° 30’ 25.9488’’ N DMS Longitude 114° 5’ 39.2424’’ W.
In conclusion, “It does not require a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority keen to set brush fires in people’s minds.” – Samuel Adams
