Conspiracy of Deceit

By Tammy Derouin

Why do so many people understand the importance of the truth in their personal lives but not at the national level? We know that making decisions based on false information will harm us. We spend time researching products that we wish to purchase but very little time looking into the background of those we elect into office.

Homes and vehicles are major purchases. We want to know their history. Yes, history becomes very important all of a sudden. If the product is brand new, the level of excitement might be higher but one should still proceed with caution. Shiny and polished also means unknown and untested. Background information can be obtained. Was it a reputable company or individual who presented the final polished product?

When it comes to our loved ones or matters of the heart, the truth gets even more personal. We demand honesty. We know, no matter how difficult it may sometimes be to hear the truth, it is vital to our well-being and our survival. The truth will help us make the decisions that are necessary to proceed down the correct path. Do we hold on tighter or begin to let go?

The only thing worse than being deceived is finding out that there was an organized effort, a conspiracy of deceit, against you. Finding out that you have been misled is difficult enough, knowing that others knew you were being deceived and not telling you can be mortifying. You feel foolish and you want to know why......

Left-Wing Agitators Escalate After Charlottes | The Daily Caller:

"Far-left agitators are calling for an escalation in tactics following this weekend’s violence at a white nationalist rally in Charlottesville.

Many of the same groups that have organized violent demonstrations in Berkeley, California and elsewhere are now calling for an aggressive response to the violence in Charlottesville. Far-left “anti-fascist” (or antifa) figures are advising agitators to do the job that police won’t: shutting down “fascists” and preventing them from organizing."

Classes in the Greencastle-Antrim School District were initially scheduled to resume on Monday, August 21, but district superintendent Kendra Trail sent a letter to parents on Monday delaying the start time, WPMT reports.

“When putting together the school calendar, it is hard to anticipate all of the events that could impact the schedule; therefore, when considering our first day of school, we realized a solar eclipse is to occur on Monday, August 21,” Trail wrote.

...“Due to the safety risks associated with viewing the eclipse, it is imperative that students are not outdoors during these hours.”...

"Why does America honor an accused rapist?

Speaking exclusively to The American Mirror, Broaddrick denounced the lack of efforts to uproot a monument to Bill Clinton in South Dakota, the man she says raped her in a Little Rock, Arkansas hotel room in 1978.

“I would like to ‘personally’ use a sledgehammer on it, with the help of Kathleen Willey and Paula Jones,” Broaddrick says.

A life-size statue of Clinton stands at the corner of 7th and Saint Joseph Street in Rapid City.

Licenses, ID Cards Sold to Illegal Aliens by Corrupt State Workers Used for Voter Fraud - Judicial Watch

Licenses, ID Cards Sold to Illegal Aliens by Corrupt State Workers Used for Voter Fraud - Judicial Watch:

"A year after Judicial Watch reported a rise in illegal aliens using fake Puerto Rican birth certificates to obtain authentic U.S. passports and drivers’ licenses, the feds have busted a Massachusetts operation run by corrupt state workers. The state employees sold drivers’ licenses and state identification cards to illegal immigrants who bought Puerto Rican documents on the black market, according to the Department of Justice (DOJ). The operation perpetuated voter fraud because some of the false identities and addresses were used to vote in Boston, the state’s capital and largest city."
