Brian Butler's (Trump's 5th Employee) point of view is relevant and should be absorbed by all U.S. voters. While he is not telling us anything new about Trump, he is reaffirming the character of this man who is convicted of being a liar, a fraud, a sexual predator/rapist, and is currently facing 91 criminal charges - not one or two, but 91 charges of breaking the law. The laws in the United States are the underlying fortress that guides our society and country. Laws provide us a fair and independent process - to ensure that justice prevails and everyone is treated equally and farily.
I spent the majority of my career living and working in communist and dictator-led countries. These countries have ONE law which says "lay-low and do not anger the leader" or you end up in prison or dead. I barely escaped Turkmenistan one day before I was to be imprisoned for holding "Christian" meetings in a Muslim country. It was a drummed-up charge and I was not "holding meetings, nor did I have a Bible in Ashgabat - the capitol of Turkmenistan. I designed and was operating a micro-credit multi-million dollar program of small loans to the poor so they could operate small businesses and generate extra income. Micro-credit is indicative of free markets and provides supplemental income to those with government assigned jobs - which is the entire population in a dictator-led country. If they had killed me, USAID and CAAEF would have pulled all program funds from Turkmenistan. Instead they just threatened me with prison, but allowed me to leave unharmed. The program and the money was then controlled by a local woman who worked for the local government - controlled by one man - named Turkmanbashi, he was fanatical about societal control and another crazed dictator.
This story is relevant because it describes Trump as well. He is not just a liar, a bully a criminal, and probably a traitor, but an archaistic individual who wishes to return the U.S. form of government to obsolete, ancient, and medieval times - centuries ago when King's ruled through terror, torture, murder and prisons that were comparable to the Gulag where Navalny died in Siberia.
It's time for Americans to WAKE UP. Our country is considered a civil society, where the rule of law is critical to daily operations and the safety of all citizens. Imagine a busy intersection where there are no traffic lights and no police to help people navigate. It results in horns honked, disorderliness,
and a morass of confusion and traffic accidents. This is the world that Trump proposes - where the only laws that apply are the ones Trump wishes to work for his benefit.
"On June 1, 2020 and amid the George Floyd protests in D.C., Law Enforcement officers used tear gas and other riot control tactics to forcefully clear peaceful and lawful protesters from Lafayette Square in D.C. to create a path for Trump to walk from the White House to St. John's Episcopal Church and to hold up a Bible for a photo op." Trump does not attend this church and this was an attempt to appeal to potential voters in the Bible Belt region of the U.S. (Wikipedia) This was an affront to the First Amendment right to the freedom of assembly. In July 2020, Trump sent federal agents to Oregon to combat the protests against police brutality and racism. These rioters were escorted into unmarked cars by men wearing no identification. This is NOT how a democracy works.
Trump believes that the use of force is justified, but Oregon's Governor called Trump's action as "simply adding gasoline to a fire." ((NPR, July 2020). He feels that he can do whatever he wishes - including ignoring all others or even existing laws.
Trump's followers demonstrated their willingness to create violence when on Jan. 6th a mob of Trumpers attacked the U.S. Capitol building in an attempt to stop the legal process of counting votes for the legal transfer of Presidential power. "Approximately 749 federal defendants have had their cases adjudicated and 467 have been sentenced to periods of incarceration." (AP News, Jan. 2024). "Washington's federal courthouse remains flooded with trials, guilty plea hearings and sentencings. The hunt for suspects is far from over." (Ibid).
Trump admires "strong dictatorial men". His recent visit with Viktor Orban, Hungary's dictator is an example. Hitler was estimated to have murdered about 6 million human beings, but another million or more died on the battlefields attempting to stop Hitler's regime and madness. History tells us that Stalin, who was perhaps the most vile dictator of all times, killed over 20 million people. Putin has been compared to Stalin and is proud of this assessment. This is relevant because Trump openly admires and emulates Putin.
Putin acquired his dictatorial skills while working in East Germany as a Russian spy. He brought these tools back to Russia, and is now ruling the largest nuclear armed country in the world as a murderous dictator. He has threatened global peace AND the stability of his arch enemy the United States. Over the last 25 years, he has plotted the demise of our form of government and he has used Donald Trump, a capitalist who worships money instead of God, as his stooge. Trump sold his soul and our country to the Russians at least 20 years ago. In 2008, Trump Jr. bragged that the Trump Organization had received large sums from Russian banks. (www.businessinsider) Russian banks are ALL controlled and operated by the KGB/FSB. Trump's businesses were failing; U.S. banks refused to loan him large sums due to his six bankruptcies; and the Russians gave him $100 million - plain and simple. (From Democracy to Democrazy).
The majority of cyber attacks into the U.S. come from Russia - disrupting our food/supply chains, our financial and banking systems, our hospital and medical care, our military and security, and perhaps this year most importantly our elections and probably our polls. As CNN or NYT says that Trump is leading in the polls - I cringe. The polls sway voters, and Putin knows this. He also is shouting to the whole world that "Trump will win the 2024 election." So what do you think he knows that we in the U.S. do not?
Butler was just another person used and abused by Trump. His report sheds more light on to Trump's behavior and disregard for our national classified information and top secret military information. More importantly, there appears to be documents missing. I would not doubt that this information - perhaps critical U.S. nuclear capabilities and military secrets are now in the hands of Putin and have emboldened him to say yesterday "Russia warns that they are ready for nuclear war." (Reuters, 3/13/2024)
I wrote From Democracy to Democrazy with one purpose - to warn Americans and others around the world of the disastrous consequences if Trump is re-elected President of the United States.
Can you imagine being a "regular Joe" handling boxes containing documents that, just a short time earlier, required US Generals and other high-ranking Gov’t officials entering high-security rooms to have top-level security clearances just to peek inside?
Butler did us a service; outlining his information before Cannon could release his name (to allow him to be harassed, thus supporting Trump). I wonder what document s are at Bedminster and where? When will a search be done (including secret rooms as in Mar-a-Lago) there? Also, since Ivana was allegedly cremated, why was a casket needed for her funeral (carried by 10 men)?
This latter fact seemed unique when it happened. Are documents in the casket with her urn? On private property where there is out of sight when needed. Strange, but remember the Mar-a-Lago secret room. Stay tuned.
Your worries are warranted. None of us know what Trump has sold to the Russians except of course his soul, but I am sure it is anything that would hurt the U.S. and help Putin.
He is getting people to believe him and bankroll him by using the same coercive mind control techniques used by other dictators worldwide. China, Germany, Italy, Russia, Hungry, and a host of other dictator-led countries use brainwashing to control the masses. Lo and behold we now see it happening in democratic government - the U.S.
Brainwashing is defined as telling lies over and over until they are perceived as the truth, i.e. Trump's lie that the election was stolen. CNN reported only a few weeks ago that 70% of the Republicans still believe that the 2020 election was stolen. A complete and utter lie. Biden won by over 7 million votes nationwide.
Another example is when I was at a book-signing event at a Barnes and Noble in Tucson, AZ. A middle-aged woman and her daughter came up to me and said "I believe Putin is a smart and great leader." I opened my mouth, but nothing came out. I was in shock. These were the exact same words used by Trump only the previous week and right after Russia invaded the sovereign nation of Ukraine. This is BRAINWASHING and it is found in every corner of our nation and is used by every Trump follower.
Thank you. I hope you get to read From Democracy to Democrazy as well. It is available at www.democrazy2020.org. I actually have two new books in the works. One is called The Cold War Myth and the other does not have a title yet, but will be a collection of all the Substacks that I have written. I am an early morning person and get up and read other's messages and then respond. I am glad you enjoy reading my responses.
Do we know what happened to the other 30 some boxes of documents? Have the other properties been searched, but Trump chose not to announce it on social media? Or are we just assuming they've been sold? It's infuriating that this trial may not happen till close to the election, if at all.

Vote BLUE.

I would like to see Jack Smith search Bedminster.

Grateful for the detailed article that goes so much further than the standard press reports.
