On July 1 , 1967 , The Times of London published an article by its editor , William Rees-Mogg , titled “ Who Breaks a Butterfly upon a Wheel ? ” The editorial decried the severe sentence handed out to the Rolling Stones’ frontman , ( now Sir ) Michael Philip Jagger , for a minor drug infraction. Rees-Mogg’s editorial turned public opinion in the rock singer’s favor and furthered the cause of his ultimately successful sentencing appeal.
It was also tragically prophetic.
Rees-Mogg’s editorial’s title originated in Alexander Pope’s 1735 “ Epistle to Dr. Arbuthnot.” The wheel in question is a Catherine wheel , upon which torture victims were tied and “ their long bones broken by an iron bar.” By placing a butterfly upon the wheel to be tortured , Pope , as was his wont , coined a pithy phrase depicting a quite likely unhinged individual using “ superabundant effort in the accomplishment of a small matter.”
Americans can now answer the question , “ Who broke General Flynn upon a wheel ? ”…
Barack Obama’s Federal Bureau of Investigation , Department of Justice , Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s partisan crew , all with an assist by … Or is it the orchestration of? … The Central Intelligence Agency.
Strzok Stopped Flynn Probe From Being Shut Down After ‘No Derogatory Information’ Was Found
Whether the perpetrators were Trump-deranged or just cynically using the unhinged resistance and their collusion media cohorts to help cover their tracks , they unleashed the awful power of the federal leviathan upon a decorated three-star general.
Flynn’s transgression ? He had the ear and the back of the incoming president and he had earned the ire of the departing president. He knew where the bodies were buried.
He had to be ruined …
So the perpetrators dusted off the unconstitutional (and never before applied) Logan Act of 1799; recorded him; cranked up the smear machine with their media co-conspirators; unmasked him; illegally leaked the transcript; deliberately devised a perjury trap; manufactured an indictment; threatened his son; and—voila!—another “disgraced” American hero deep-sixed by the deep state.
These craven bastards’ vile apologists claim it happens every day.
No it doesn’t.
