Jamie Raskin, a leading perpetrator of this attempt at mind-numbing a hitherto free people.<\/p>\n<p>In view of the most curious Google result for a search request on &#8220;brainwashing&#8221; by the &#8220;Jan. 6&#8221; House Select Committee,\u00a0Google should show cause why the public should not conclude that it is the target of the Deep State&#8217;s program of using the Democrat party to deceive the American people into accepting the &#8220;ambitious sacrifice of the many to the aggrandizement of the few&#8221; (citing the words of James Madison in the opening line to Federalist Paper No. 57).<\/p>\n<p>David Brooks, in his New York Times\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2022\/06\/08\/opinion\/the-jan-6-committee-has-already-blown-it.html\">column<\/a>\u00a0of June 9, provided another example of deceit by a member in good standing of the Deep State.\u00a0\u00a0The column was called &#8220;The Jan. 6 Committee Has Already Blown It.&#8221;<em>\u00a0\u00a0<\/em>The fourth paragraph sought to dismiss political use of Jan. 6 as being &#8220;small-minded and likely to be ineffective.&#8221;\u00a0\u00a0But reading on, one finds this Brooks view of the GOP \u2014 &#8220;a predatory semi-democratic faction.&#8221;\u00a0\u00a0His column closes with a call to focus &#8220;on the broad social conditions that threaten to bring American democracy to its knees.&#8221;\u00a0\u00a0Republicans should not doubt that David Brooks hopes, with all the hate-spewing\u00a0fanaticism he can muster, that the &#8220;Jan. 6&#8221; propaganda campaign will destroy the &#8220;predatory&#8221; Republican Party.\u00a0\u00a0When he suggests that the current persecutorial hearings will fail to crush the GOP, more likely, he speaks as one who is convinced that\u00a0if he seems to predict defeat, he will be rewarded with achieving his (invidious) aims.<\/p>\n<p>James Madison indicated in Federalist No. 57 that he was confident that the American spirit of liberty would stymie the\u00a0self-indulgent class that sought the &#8220;ambitious sacrifice of the many to the aggrandizement of the few.&#8221;\u00a0\u00a0The lesson of the brainwashing exercise that &#8220;Jan. 6&#8221; has come to represent instructs that the struggle between the ambitious few and those proposing, instead, the common good is ongoing.<\/p>\n<p>___<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.americanthinker.com\/blog\/2022\/06\/jan_6_committee_an_exercise_in_brainwashing_the_american_people.html\">https:\/\/www.americanthinker.com\/blog\/2022\/06\/jan_6_committee_an_exercise_in_brainwashing_the_american_people.html<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-119740","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/119740","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=119740"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/119740\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=119740"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=119740"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=119740"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
