Here's something the Heir's following up on with our last shares base share.  Last time the Heir decried the progressive exploitation of the impeachment, but his followup to that is that the progressive movement wants to push an if-not-one-then-the-other logical fallacy in and for the post-Trump era.  They'll try to tell people Trump Bad Us Good, and that Trump is Bad only because he wishes to conserve, *not* because the guy's a criminal.  The Heir hasn't forgotten that it was the actions of the progressive movement vis a vis Ed Snowden and the personal corruption those helped cause that allowed to Trump to rise to power in the first place.  The Heir's sure that if Bob Mueller had enough time, he would have found this out.  So convenient for the progressive movement that he didn't.

The Heir sees a broad-brush anti-cop mood sweeping the country ever since that trial in Dallas.  In one week alone two cops were attacked for nothing more than doing their duty.  One cop got shot by an assailant, and that cop's life just happened to be saved by his bulletproof vest.  Another cop was attacked and possibly killed when an onlooker attacked that cop with a metal chair in a restaurant when the cop was going to make a separate arrest.  About a week ago, cops were again being drenched with a water hose while on the job.  The Heir's hoping that none of those cops find themselves on this Credibility Blacklist that's being spread now.

The Heir's pretty sure that if it weren't for Big Tech, there wouldn't be a "debate" or a "controversy" about whether or not the Notre Dame steeple should be rebuilt in the classic gothic fashion the cathedral was originally built in.  When the steeple burnt down earlier this year, no one ever thought that there was anything wrong with the style by which the steeple should be rebuilt.  And then some Big Tech surrogates on "expert" media cast aspersions on the classiness concept and now everyone feels guilty if the steeple weren't replaced by a Libiskind-style shard.  If we do get this big shard in the middle of an otherwise gothic cathedral, the Heir intends to lend support to those who will rage-quit Notre Dame on the shard alone and continue to worship at the smaller churches they're at now.

"Dang, how many times do I have to tell people: Principle is not just a person who runs a school."

So the impeachment has begun, and the Heir's worst fears are coming true with the Progressive response.  As far as he's concerned the Progressives only want to hoard impeachment for their own political self interests rather than allow the people to have justice for a change.  He sees AOC and Al Green as complicit in that, and he distrusts them implicitly.  He doesn't even like them as people, and he's happy neither of them represents him in Washington.  Also Ed Snowden just came out again in the past couple weeks, and the Heir doesn't see this as a coincidence.  In short, the Progressive Insincerity reminds the Heir that no matter how much he too wants Universal Care and a Living Wage and reform in Affordable Housing and a cut-down on the noise pollution created by leaf-blowers, he himself is not progressive.  He's a skeptic.  None Of The Above.  The Heir's economically progressive, but he considers himself a Law And Justice conservative.  He wants to *conserve* law and justice, and he sees AOC and Ed Snowden as making an insincere mockery of the values of law and justice.  He values sincerity in public servants above so many things, and if he's not going to get it in the election, he's going to find a way of raging quit on them.  So, public figures, let this be possibly your *only* warning, and don't think the Heir's going to say this in late September 2019, and will totally forget about it in November 2020.  You people had better shape up, or you're just going to lose support among the sincere populace.

"AOC I don't think has really known any real challenges politically.  That could very well change depending how things go in the Impeachment Era."

The Heir is outraged by the NYCLU's criticisms regarding New York state's decision to make pot use a fine-able offense, which the Heir otherwise sees as proper.  But this apparently was not good enough for the NYCLU who was the first civil liberties group the Heir's seen in his life to advocate for a for-profit corporate status that the progressive movement has been trying to get under control in most other sectors.  I the Mentor was amazed and astounded when the Heir pointed out that present-day legal pot laws effectively make it all but impossible for a plaintiff to mount a disorderly person's complaint against a defendant who blows pot smoke in their face in public.  The pot laws also don't adequately protect against peer pressure, so as far as the laws are concerned, if a teenager is being pressured by peers to smoke pot, that teen really has no choice but to do so.  A legal pot proposal in Bachelor Blue State failed to get enough votes among lawmakers for the leaders to want to hold such a vote, and the Heir is wondering whether those lawmakers had got to thinking that if we legalized pot in the state, then maybe we should also legalize sex work?  Obviously in our still puritanical society in 2019 the lawmakers weren't willing to go there, so the pot proposal was defeated on a technicality.

"Let's not throw the baby out with the bathwater if we truly *need* legal pot."

Just half an hour ago as I the Mentor am writing this, the Heir unmoored Tom Steyer from his activist emails and his National Principle channel.  The Heir's now seeing some Ed Snowdenisms in Steyer's impeachment efforts which he's pretty sure are only going to increase over time, long after Trump leaves office, to the point where there will be another Ed Snowden, who will in turn elect yet another Donald Trump.  As far as the Heir's concerned, this Need To Impeach effectively amounts to a Need To Attack Donkeys.  He's seen this around this time in 2006, which then led to his declaring a none-of-the-above political skepticism in December of that year.  And even 13 years after that point in time, he still takes a considerably different view of democracy's role in society from the rest of populace.  He's cynical about the clause of social agitation, because it's also an excuse for society to pressure people against their sense of principle, mostly just for sport, particularly when there's a main figurehead at the top of that social agitation, e.g., Ed Snowden, who outright disrespects an ordinary citizen's citizenship rights.  The Heir's not suggesting that the Donkeys For The People shouldn't move faster on impeachment proceedings, or not figure out how to better use the I word in the press.  But that last bit is just semantics for the Heir, and the way in which he sees the concept of National Principle as applying to the impeachment debate makes it all too important to discuss semantics or this will-they-or-won't-they hand-wringing on the Insurgent News Network with the Donkeys.  So here's what he's got to say about this one undemocratic function in the democratic process:

"My decisions as a citizen are between me and my God, and me and the people who understand, and are not open to negotiation with Tom Steyer, AOC, and **certainly** not Ed Snowden."

The Heir Does Not Favor Legalizing Pot.  Shocking, right?  Well the Heir's such an old fart now (albeit still an Heir), and over the course of the 2010s he's seen the consequences of an Anything Goes society promoted by Ed Snowden.  So they've put off voting on the measure in the state capitol for now, but the Heir doesn't want there to be such a pro-pot bandwagon, where youth will fall in the cracks with peer pressure, and believing having a joint on their person is their Get Out Of Free Jail Card for any offense they want to commit, solely because they feel like it.  The Heir also believes the Donkeys For The People had their Blue Wave after all *mainly because* they weren't reluctant to criticize Trump.  So Schumer had it wrong that the Donkeys had to somehow ignore the elephant in the living room in the last election.  The Heir also takes those media outlets to task that on Accountability Day June 6 of last year only did anniversaries of RFK's death and D-Day, but not Ed Snowden's 5th.  It was left up to him to do so.  He also blames Big Tech's placation of Ed Snowden as the reason why no-one still knows why that guy shot all those people in Las Vegas three years ago.  Big Tech would have refused to cooperate with authorities in gaining access to the guy's devices and smartphone accordingly.  On audio (click Play All): https://www.mixcloud.com/audiobachelor2/playlists/the-happy-bachelor-1/

The Heir wrote it down and he read it.  Here's what he said on his National Principle channel:

Among other things, #Buzzfeed might be worried about showing up in the #MuellerInvestigation report as a #BigTech #SocialMedia co (wrt #Kremlin fake ads). #Buzzfeed trying to get SCO to leak is inappropriate. #ProtectMueller #MuellerBuzzfeedSmackdown

He's starting to get concerned in case an Ed Snowden influence may be reemerging to subvert principle once more accordingly.  Stay tuned.

"I'm getting concerned in case an Ed Snowden influence may be reemerging to subvert principle once more."

The Bachelor Stance Against The Swing Voter Narrative With The Supreme Court. So now that the election's come and gone, there isn't as much discussion about the Supreme Court as there was in September 2018.  And that's with this thing with Brett Kavanaugh replacing a "swing vote" on the Supreme Court, which is a narrative the Heir rejects entirely.  The Heir also doesn't think that Hope Hicks was necessarily a counselor-in-chief to Donald Trump, because there were a number of things he ended up saying and doing that Hope Hicks apparently didn't prevent.  So between the Supreme Court and the threats against Bob Mueller, even in spite of the election results, the Heir believes that only Papua New Guinea's cultural sense of tropical simplicity is ultimately going to save us in the West.  The Heir's increasingly seeing accountability and law-and-order as increasing issues.  He also differs from the vanilla progressives in believing that Ronny Jackson got thrown under the bus.  And the naval disasters that took place in May 2017 the Heir believes is due to big tech pushing forced obsolescence to the point of mental atrophy.  He believes that every navigator needs to receive basic training in the use of the sextant, among other simple and reliable tools of navigation.  On audio:

The Bachelor Continues Pushing For Simplicity And Principle In The Continuing Age Of Big Tech And Ed Snowden.  So again sorry people for the delay.  We're going to do everything we can to pick up the pace of our putting out new episodes.  So in this one, we pick up where we left off in standing fast to the value of simplicity and the importance of principle in a still-decidedly confused and unprincipled age, here in 2018.  Because of a book Donna Brazile put out months ago, the Heir believes the political vanillas cherry pick when to fact-check something or not to fact-check it.  The Heir still believes Papua New Guinea has the potential of being the out-of-left-field hero in the new cold war between the U.S. and Russia, by being a none-of-the-above country.  The third way out of the exclusive two that exist.  The Heir believes that with Me Too and successful males in show business, everybody's doing it.  All males in show business, he believes, have sexually harassed a female colleague at one time or another.  They just haven't gotten caught yet.  The Heir remembers one such male, Minnesotan Humorist, for his rational contributions to an otherwise irrational world.  Marco comes in with our food from Barbecue Spice Kitchen and worries about how A Certain Friend Of His may run afoul of ICE and be forcibly deported.  The Heir believes that Big Tech and Ed Snowden both play a far bigger role in RussiaGate than both Donald Trump and Russia combined.  He looks at Big Tech trying to use Red Herrings and Avoiding The Issue techniques such as Disruptions and Artificial Intelligence to distract from the fact that most tech just doesn't work properly.  Look at Heathrow 2016.  With Ed Snowden, the Heir found an article link on thehill.com where Ed Snowden apparently assisted in promoting the Deep State conspiracy theory.  On audio (Play All): https://www.mixcloud.com/audiobachelor2/playlists/the-happy-bachelor-1/

Don't worry, people.  We're still around.  We're working on getting a new episode up, but the Heir's running into file problems on his bachelor computer station (I the Mentor keep hearing him go "Say what," "Say what" a dozen times already).  But the Heir made an important stance on his Twitter channel regarding Ed Snowden, as below.  You should read through the entire tweet thread, back from the beginning.

Here's some more stuff, National Principle, about Chris Wylie as compared to Ed Snowden:

He's unlikely to say #IAlreadyWon in a self-congratulatory fashion in several months time. #Justice #Accountability #Principle #NationalPrinciple https://t.co/QORH5IOzIc

— Affordability_and_NationalPrinciple (@HelpSustain) March 20, 2018

Toward the end of the interview, he humbly admits not having an easy answer to one given question. All you Ed #SnowdenAtFive ever got from selected press were softballs. You never had to struggle accordingly. #Justice #Accountability #Principle #NationalPrinciple https://t.co/QORH5IOzIc

I don't see him appropriating a personality cult like you Ed #SnowdenAtFive did. #Justice #Accountability #Principle #NationalPrinciple #IAlreadyWon https://t.co/QORH5IOzIc

The Heir's keeping on with his Ed Snowden counter-movement with the following tweets he made on his Accountability Affordability channel:

Hey Ed #SnowdenAtFive, here's what a real whistleblower looks like. He's almost the total opposite of you (#IAlreadyWon #Justice #Accountability #Principle #NationalPrinciple): https://t.co/UI3bejqGcu

So how does the Heir feel about Bland Barns' Commemoration Day he works at?  Here's the thing.  He felt there was too much crazy ritualism going on there today, too much of an effort to keep up appearances.  Sure he understands that there's a business side to that, but life's too short.  Stay down to earth.  That's what the catering customers would have wanted, along with their food orders.  So he's looking forward to tomorrow, with a better shift, when he's pretty sure the Commemoration spirit is over.  Lets get back to normal, because the days after the Commemoration he thinks matter far more.  Now he doesn't feel this necessarily rises to the importance of mention on audio, so he's getting me the Mentor to write it here.

The Bachelor Contemplates A Political Cult Awareness Week.  That's what we're doing for the fifth anniversary of Ed Snowden this year.  This will be about somewhere between May 20 and June 6, and plenty of time before and after.  Among other things, we differentiate ourselves from the progressives and as political skeptics in that we observe that the progressives have never gone back on their support for Ed Snowden in the past five years.  We see Ed Snowden as even more of a threat to the American way than Donald Trump, because we see the former as promoting the kind of corrupted thinking the latter finds a handy place in.  It's this corrupted thinking that threatens the rule of law in this country at this time.  This is how Heir believes Ed Snowden was primarily the one that caused Trump to become President.  Worse than that, the Heir believes that the progressives think of Trump as a handy way of not dealing with Ed Snowden.  So, the Heir will think twice before giving the progressives any money to do things with.  The Heir also now believes the "sex revolution" was a marketing campaign during the Seventies aimed at young people to make money off selling beer and cars and deodorant to them.  The Heir has also started covering NBC Port Moresby more actively, to keep tabs on that one small country in the pacific region we believe whose indigenous cultural background holds certain wisdom for the otherwise Type A and overmodern West.  On Audio (click or tap Play All): https://www.mixcloud.com/audiobachelor2/playlists/the-happy-bachelor-1/
