I was yesterday years old when I learned about this reality. I was listening to a Bulwark podcast with Tim Miller and a guest talking about former Attorney General Bill Barr’s recent endorsement of Trump. It honestly makes zero sense at face value because Barr has been very outspoken since his time as Attorney General about the very real danger Trump poses to the country.

He has declared with utmost certainty that he’s unstable, irrational and very dangerous. Many of us were shaking our head’s wondering what kind of dementia Barr has developed in order to do the 180 and determine so absolutely that our country’s future would be better left in the hand’s of a psychopath than as it would be with Joe Biden in office. I know, I know, it turns out there a whole lot of folks out there in agreement with him and sadly, I know and love many, many of them.

As Tim Miller played a clip of Barr now saying out loud that a vote for Trump would be saving the country and a vote for Biden, it’s ruin, I was like a steel clinging to a magnet. The question of our time, of my lifetime anyway, especially since 2015, has been what core belief system could be so deeply rooted and strong that it would be able to overwhelm the obvious experiences of a human being’s five senses and flip a switch to where all would be ignored in favor of a very dangerous pathological narcissist with a lengthy record of behavior to prove it behind him? What is it??? Ego? Identity? Religion? I would like to stop having to ask this question but it just doesn’t go away. I think I may have landed on the bottom line answer thanks to Bill Barr and his reply. He has exposed the very real core of it all and it is summed up in his allegiance to his allegiance to the Anglosphere, Five Eyes worldview, one I didn’t even realize existed. In the following quote he refers to the loss of America’s freedoms if Biden is elected.

“They’re (our freedoms) being constrained by the progressive government. And democracy, especially in you know, from the Anglosphere democracies, the Five Eyes and so forth.The threat’s never been for autocratic government on the right.”

It turns out that the world’s governmental intelligence has been led by the five nations (5 Eyes) considered to have the right perspective on how things work best in the world. Grounded in the realities of Anglo driven colonialism where nonwhite, nonChristian countries were taken over by force and their resources usurped for the Empire, the post colonial countries have provided the means to continue to control the world through its cohesion of resources. In other words this is the way the world is still ordered in the mind of Bill Barr and honestly, many millions of sincere Conservatives. Deeply rooted in the belief that the Anglo American perspective IS the right one not only in America but the world over, Barr and those like him literally and absolutely hold to the perspective that should Trump not be elected, America will be destroyed. Think about that.

It is not the economy.

It is not abortion.

It is not the environment.

It is nothing but the belief that

WHITE

CHRISTIANS

are the only humans worthy of the world.

This core belief is so deep and so strong that these people do not even recognize it as it really is. Bill Barr and others are willing to subject our nation’s rule (not leadership) to a man without a conscience, a soul, and entirely given over to his own self as god in order to keep us rich, white and Christian.

I’ll be damned.
