Through a black mirror darkly--ruminations and reflections on the misuse of power in the United States presidency, a twin of the black mirror image of society shielded by a blank lack of light the press is a hated enemy if it dares shed light on reality and the true corruption and the lying rhetoric --my commentary on: (interview of Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein by Barbara Walters--Goodo Morning America, 1983).

"Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein--Interview (1983) Good Morning America". The Duke Mitchell Film Club. April 20, 2025.

Bob Woodward: "The conviction of tragedy only increases with time. That Nixon is a dark mirror..The Nixon Administration and personality of Nixon are a dark mirror held up to American society where we could see so much about ourselves. The lofty ideals, the rhetoric, the inadequate pathetic performance of what he came through with, really a kind of walking show of American life...."

Carl Bernstein: "I think too many people have forgotten what happened during the Nixon Administration...it's not just about a bugging and break-in...it's about the use and misuse of power."

On responding to a question posed by Barbara Walters on the perception of the Press in regard to investigating political controversy.

Carl Bernstein: "Eisenhower at the 1964 Rep. convention...made a speech condemning the press. It's always easy to attack the messenger....the attitude towards us has not really changed...attacks on the press...it didn't start with us, it's not going to end with Ronald Reagan either."

Bob Woodward: "I think the real danger, the problem is becoming sort of a part of the established social and political order here in Washington, or anywhere else, and worrying about our place in that order rather than our job of reporting, which is essentially being outsiders. Sometimes throwing the grenades and the bombs and defending our independence fiercely. And, we're not going to be loved. And if we think we are we are, we are deluding ourselves and we're not going to be doing our job".

**and in the midst of typing this post, on the political nature which is now like a bygone era of honesty in reporting (**my opinion**) for mainstream and in the "alternative" so it seems to be as it's just another by product of the acceptable stream of acceptable commentary always still protecting the corruption that had been so shocking in the 1970's and now has become...well, most of it you are not allowed to see, but the visible is only a dark mirror of the opaque layers of the dark mirror which have congealed on top of the layers that the Nixon era introduced into American society (my commentary not Bob Woodward)

and hackers have frozen the computer to stop my ability to think clearly while I must wait to finish a word, then resuming trying to type malware imposed heavily to stop me ,every pounding of keys produces a wrong letter after I pound as hard as I can on the keys---my brain of course is likewise under attack and drilling has once more begun in a room directly underneath mine (terror noise from the hate cartel--which is just another reflection of the dark mirror of society which has shattered into a million reflecting fragments which are merely visible, with still layers of the black tarnished layers of black mirrors underneath the reflection of society that Woodward mentions; the layers have ossified by now you must drill down to get to a little peek through the entire edifice of corruption by now.

People are now dancing on the dark mirror and enjoying sliding through it like an ice skating rink, the black mess they create they just dump onto the bystanders and the press is now a-buzz with commentary but never digging down into the actual real layers which they are protecting, thus adding more black layers of the reflection which is now just a black pool no one and nothing has a reflection or a real moment of reflection in the "media" and although Woodward has come out with exposes, I wonder if he would contemplate that my situation is actually part of that immense black pool which has dulled the reflection of the mirror reflecting the bleak blackened soul of America (and it's partnership with death head groups from around the world, in training America is to become a mirror image of their long histories of corruption and decay and misuse of power glorified as being elitism rather than a destruction of the soul of humanity...
