| Hi, this is Dr. | |
| Pichanik and this is pretty much my wrap-up of 2018. | |
| I wish you were a little bit more optimistic than I'm about to tell you, but the truth of the matter is that this year was not that impressive to me. | |
| In fact, the real two issues that stood out for me was not the fact that Trump was Mercurial or impulsive or shut down the government or lowered the taxes. | |
| It really was something else that was far more bothersome to me. | |
| It told me that the US government doesn't really understand what history means and how we create history. | |
| Let me give you an example. | |
| The two most despicable events that occurred this year was one, the glorification of a coward and a traitor to our country, John McCain, who received a State of the Union death ceremonial that was uncalled for. | |
| I knew about McCain. | |
| I knew about McCain's lying. | |
| I knew about the treacherous behavior that he did at the Hanoi Hilton, but I was shocked that there would be a State of the Union ceremony for a man who didn't deserve it. | |
| There is a man who does deserve the ceremonial, but he's not known to most of you. | |
| He was a friend of mine who died at about the same age and the same time that McCain died. | |
| His name was Vice Admiral Wick Toole. | |
| He was the youngest pilot in World War II and he did receive honorary degrees and did become a commissioned officer. | |
| The second disgraceful thing was the fact that we had state ceremony for another trader and that was President Bush Sr. | |
| There is no evidence and I know for a fact he was not shot down. | |
| Contrary to what James Baker said, he was not shot down. | |
| In fact, he ejected from his plane and seven and eight of his crewmen were killed by the Japanese and eventually cannibalized. | |
| That was not brought forth and instead we made him a hero. | |
| The history of the Bush family is the history Replete with lies, mendacity, and corruption. | |
| It wasn't only that he was a coward and a liar, it was also that Melvin and Neil and Marvin were all cowards and liars when they created the Silverado Bank scandal in the 1980s that led to my having been involved in the Maryland scandal. | |
| It also led to George Bush Jr. | |
| creating 9-11 and lying about it. | |
| But more importantly was also the character you never heard about and that was Vice President Cheney. | |
| The man who's probably one of the most disgraceful cowards and traitors in our country that we've ever known but we really never talk about. | |
| Fortunately for us a movie came out called Vice by Adam McKay. | |
| Some will say it's liberal propaganda. | |
| I say it's a very accurate description how a bum, literally a bum, came to power and co-opted our entire U.S. government, including the military, the intelligence, and the federal services, in order to create 9-11, | |
| in order to create suppression, in order to create the The repressive laws and in order to kill 3,000 Americans, 35,000 Iraqis, and eventually lead to a greater war. | |
| Nothing was ever said about Cheney. | |
| Nothing was ever said or reprimanded about Cheney. | |
| And instead we brought forth all of his lackeys, Wolfowitz, Zalmay Khalazad, who is now in Afghanistan. | |
| Now we have John Bolton in the White House. | |
| Now we have all of his lackeys, including Clapper, Hayden, and others complaining about Trump. | |
| Let me warn you and say something that Patrick Henry said a long time ago. | |
| If America continues to fear its government and fears to say the truth, we will act as slaves. | |
| And let me also add that Thomas Jefferson said that every generation of democracy has to fight and shed blood in order for us to maintain that democracy. | |
| I believe that. |
