SCAPEGOAT redux

"Clever and prescient".

"Ahead of his time".

"Speaks faster than he thinks".

 
Those are some of the favorable comments experts agreed to publish regarding my blog efforts. This post originally ran last summer. Specific examples can be expanded to include most of what is currently coming out of DC.
 
The Secretary of State, Attorney General, President, Commissioner of The IRS, any of the top people are saying things like "Gee, I didn't know about this" or "Gosh, they never told me ..."
 
They are lying. They are setting up circumstances to throw low-ranking subordinates under the bus. They cannot find enough underlings willing to fall on their swords so they will line some up for the drop. Grab. Toss. Done.


I'd like to see these epitaths on top-ranking tombstones. After the tar and feathers, that is.

"Not my fault"

"What difference does it make?"


Nothing has changed since this post first appeared. Well, yeah, it has. It has gotten worse. 

scape·goat

skeyp-goht  noun


Things are not changing much in the Mid East, haven't really changed for centuries.
That is because the world is made up of people. Hmm, ya oughta write that down.

I first posted this to acknowledge Israel's high holiday, and from whence comes the modern day usage of the concept. I'm showing it again because the elections are drawing nigh and we get to see people doing what they do best, which is lying, cheating, and stealing. Only this is not ordinary people, folks like you and me that live normal ordinary feet-on-the-ground lives. 

This is Politicians, who cloak themselves in Sanctimony and Righteousness. Funny thing is, their blood flows red same as ours.   


We start with this:

  

1.
Chiefly Biblical . a goat let loose in the wilderness on Yom Kippur after the high priest symbolically laid the sins of the people on its head. Lev. 16:8,10,26.

















Fast forward:









2.
person or group made to bear the blame for others or to suffer in their place.








Hitler in his rise to power used the Jews as scapegoats. Mid-thirties and the German people were suffering the Depression same as we were back here. He said something like:

"You know why you're poor? Why you are suffering, unemployed, got no food, so forth?"

"It's because of the Jews. Look at 'em, they have food, they got jobs (many bankers, lawyers, doctors - chas) they are the cause of your suffering."
 
 
Hitler stirred them up and told them if they voted him in, he had solutions.

We know how that turned out.


Any of you that read this blog have your eyes open. This is not news.
Seems to me that we are headed in the same direction. Not with the Jews. With the current powers that be blaming our troubles on Reagan, Tea Party, White folks, rich people, patriots, Christians, look at the watch list.


Check out the Fast & Furious scandal. Benghazi, The VA wait lists. They are lining up some poor schmendricks to take the fall. Stonewall and lies and some poor bastard to throw under the bus. The money, immigration, the wars, whatever is fucking up real good is, well, it's not my fault. 


IT'S NOT MY FAULT  I'd love to see that as Obama's epitath.

Oh. Gee. That goes on his tombstone after he is dead ... Oh.
