UPDATED to 26 May 2018

       Monday, 2 April 2018, WASHINGTON, DC - The Washington Post has been under direct attack by the United States Government among originally print-based newspapers most notably with the New York Times throughout the duration of the present presidential administration. All concerned with affairs of State including the judiciary and doubtless many who are not both at home and even abroad doubtless are familiar with at least the most recurrent themes and content of the President's official statements under his full and sole authority as holder of the Office of the President of the United States of America spread far and wide by his every public use of Twitter to communicate directly to tens of millions of people thereafter subject to unlimited amplification and further dissemination.
       No matter in any case here because one could be expected to take judicial notice of the fact that all in the position of or associated with the ownership and control of publication, editorial and all other work necessary to the composition and distribution of the Washington Post including all of its content are fully aware of each and every threat and attempted intimidation directed by the President of the United States at the Washington Post which in this case to the best of our knowledge would ultimately be at the single person of Mr. Jeff Bezos.
       The editorial board of the Ninth Amendment believes that even much earlier but certainly now with the frequency and intensity of those official unretracted threats from the highest office holder of the United States Government admittedly intended to harass, inhibit and restrain the press in this case the Washington Post regardless of whether it be by calling it out by name or in any other identifiable way or its owner Mr. Bezos or another asset or enterprise of his most recently it being Amazon all of which in the instant case are equally noxious to the Constitution being attempts at prior restraint the most abhorrent form of censorship under the First Amendment.
       Here it might be considered of even more pernicious intent than the most seminal adjudicated case of notorious U.S. Government prior restraint because it ultimately is directed not just at restraining some specific news or editorial items of publication but more fundamentally at destroying the entire publication of the Washington Post by destroying the asset base of its ownership. The willingness of the President to use this type of tactic against a publication has been demonstrated before in his capacity as a private citizen himself publicizing such results in private litigation but most recently just last week on occasions when the President wrongly used his official statements (in this case unsurprisingly lies although that is largely irrelevant) as weapons to directly reduce the net worth of Mr. Bezos by causing for a time at least the stock price of Amazon to drop.
       This is an implicit intimidation, threat or restraint directed at least in part as any similar act of the President's now must be taken to be similarly against the Washington Post in its place among that most sacrosanct of institutions in this nation being the press recognized as essential to the survival of democracy as established under the United States Constitution:

This is very clearly defined in Supreme Court case law, most prominently in the Pentagon Papers case. As Justice Hugo Black explained in his concurrence: “Both the history and language of the First Amendment support the view that the press must be left free to publish news, whatever the source, without censorship, injunctions, or prior restraints. In the First Amendment, the Founding Fathers gave the free press the protection it must have to fulfill its essential role in our democracy. The press was to serve the governed, not the governors. The Government’s power to censor the press was abolished so that the press would remain forever free to censure the Government.”

WaPo Raves Nakasone "Will Head" NSA And U.S. Cyber Command (Pending Nakasone Confirmation)
       Interested readers can go to the Washington Post article linked to here below about the Trump administration nominee Army Lieutenant General Paul Nakasone to be Director of the NSA and US Cyber Command (CyberCom) especially in the context of the fraught relationship set out in the top portion of the post directly above it the article stood out as being an uncharacteristically uncritical article for the Washington Post  to publish not offering any notable independent critique of the nominee.
       It article linked to below also could be read as if Mr. Nakasone already held the new position because although it did note he was not yet confirmed the article easily could be confused as some congratulatory press release prepared by the Pentagon's press office. No aspersions whatsoever are intended as to the nominee nor the reporter moreover in recognition that in certain areas especially such as intelligence / national security a publication may have to adhere to different standards as to the source's degree of editorial control so as to remain in good standing to publish and maintain the best public access possible in areas of especial sensitivity which otherwise might not be reported at all.

UPDATED to 2 January 2018

       Friday, 15 December 2017, WASHINGTON, D.C. - The first Washington Post article linked to below cites more than fifty (50) knowledgeable inside sources supporting the mind-boggling comprehensive detailed revelation that President Trump even given irrefutable ever-growing direct evidence from several Trump-Russia investigations and a recent string of arrests, indictments and plea deals privately right up to the present in fact never has convincingly acknowledged nor even can tolerate without lapsing apoplectic any direct reference to the U.S. intelligence community's earlier warning nor later unanimous public assessment with high confidence a year ago that Russia meddled in the United States 2016 presidential election.

       Mr. Trump unless by now skilfully diverted by staff onto another subject or carefully eased by necessity into that of Russian interference privately claims despite that unwavering assessment of the vast U.S. intelligence community dedicated to serving the nation ultimately under Trump's ostensible leadership that Trump nevertheless rather chooses to believe KGB Putin's direct face-to-face totally unsubstantiated untruthful denials to Trump that Russia never perpetrated nor continues to nor would in the future perpetrate any such devastatingly effectively low budget high yield attacks on the foundations of U.S. constitutional democracy and the cohesion of the American people within the established norms of its society domestically and internationally under an at least arguably even if now under the GOP becoming ever less so functional democratic electoral system given the alternatives (such as Putin's).
       As recognized by virtually all cognizant human beings other than allegedly Trump conflating deeply destructive personal (in this case well-founded) insecurities regarding the legitimacy of his election rooted in infantile egoism with the very real need in his position as president to insure the national security KGB Putin's initial effort was to destabilize and weaken U.S.constitutional democracy and provoke widespread discord and division among all Americans as later evolved into the remarkably coordinated use especially of FSB/GRU suspiciously well-targeted attacks given their certain independent inability accurately to analyze on their own nor act independently on detailed U.S. "psychographics" (as could, for example, Cambridge Analytica).
       Without inside help it is apparent the Kremlin's Soviet-style propaganda campaign could be of limited success through the use of unguided social media manipulation without strategic Wikileaks curated disclosure of stolen DNC and Podesta emails for maximum impact. Of course Trump's biggest malignant narcissistic roadblock then ultimately emanates from acknowledging to himself or others that Putin's initial scheme had come to include efforts to damage the Clinton campaign but along the way morphed into an all-out effort through the Kremlin under Putin's orders largely in hopes of ending hated sanctions for Russia's flagrant aggressions to assist and very likely be responsible for Trump's actually quite weak U.S. election victory in which Trump actually lost the overall national vote count by a majority of more than three million votes against him.
       Some of the multitude of dangerous national security problems that grow from Trump's failure privately to this day to acknowledge the fact and nature of Russian meddling in the U.S. election and otherwise including now and in the future are detailed below ranging from obvious impediments to imparting necessary information about Russia as a hostile nation and related matters to the President in a straightforward manner in settings from the National Security Council to the delicate delivery of PDB's which need include vital information but in a way which must be carefully spoon-fed and couched to avoid a presidential blow-up.
       Most disturbing is the fact that despite some exceptions such as FBI Director Wray's congressional testimony aside (as opposed to AG Sessions) all other evidence is that the Trump administration is failing to implement any coordinated effective preventive response among all available U.S. agencies to combat Russian past, present and future U.S. election interference exclusively because President Trump the Commander-In-Chief privately still refuses even to acknowledge that Russian U.S. election meddling ever has been and remains an ongoing existing severe threat to U.S. democracy including upcoming elections nor of course that it ever was intended by the Russians to help Trump be elected president despite overwhelming evidence and uniform informed U.S. intelligence assessments to the contrary.
       Whether or not Trump really believes his own discounting of Russian interference in U.S. most sacrosanct affairs of course technically remains an open question. However in reality he almost certainly is being characteristically untruthful as to what he believes regardless of what further facts are uncovered regarding the existence of any Trump-Russia conspiracy. All evidence to date without exception strongly supports that although further facts as to its actual existence may need to be developed that the intent and attempt which is all that matters as to guilt certainly has been there among a growing multitude of Trump campaign, transition and serving U.S. Trump administration officials which it strains credulity to believe would stop short of including the ever-controlling Trump.
       Meanwhile every day Trump occupies the office of the President Americans (namely complicit totally self-centered Republican politicians and Trump's dwindling base of duped followers) have been allowing Trump to take one more dangerously familiar step after another warns activist and former world chess champion Gary Kasparov turning the United States into the Russia whose democracy Putin stole nearing two decades ago (along with about $2 billion of the Russian people's money).
       Kasparov from direct experience warns Americans in no uncertain terms that the "[t]ime to pick a side" is upon Americans before they find themselves like the Russian people today that no longer have a viable path to take back their legitimate power and inalienable human rights through the strangled political system of a destroyed democracy twisted into a deeply ensconced endemically corrupt autocratic oligarchical kleptocracy but nearly certainly only through means that when the inevitable hour of upheaval arrives promises to be a monstrously deadly mess indeed for all involved from the overwhelming mobs overflowing from the streets flooding through the gates right into the estates of the fleeing oligarchs and invading the halls of power inside the Kremlin now devolved into little more than a modern day glorified KGB/GRU headquarters run by a would be world-class criminal thug who is starting to sound too awfully sickeningly familiar back home in the States.
       UPDATE to 31 December 2017 Readers interested in the danger to federal law enforcement by attacks against the F.B.I. and Special Counsel Mueller with increasing intensity as the Trump-Russia investigation draws in ever closer to the top of the Trump Administration posed by the president and his media and congressional allies seemingly more concerned with the survival of their party than their country can go to the first link below which sets out the Washington Post editorial board's concerns about this vendetta against law enforcement which has the potential to cause profound damage to those institutions and in turn the future of the United States constitutional democracy as we have known it for almost two and one half centuries. Readers interested in a concise well-articulated overview warning of the Trump administration's urgently dangerous daily further destruction of long-established norms of the Nation's constitutional democracy aided and abetted by a sickly complicit GOP divorced from its legitimate conservative past now lying in ruins can go to the second link below.
