"I am
altering the deal,
pray I don't
alter it any further."
Darth
Vader
"The Empire
Strikes Back"
You know I think there are no coincidences in politics. Everything
happens on a particular schedule.
So when I see a day as
crazy as today I have to ask the question,
"Why this, why
now...?"
Look at the headlines and
you'll see what I'm talking about.
All of these things
happened since I woke up at 7:30am this morning in Florida:
-
The British
Supreme Court just arrogated unprecedented power to itself
by inserting itself into any dispute between the Government
and Parliament. This upends more than 300 years of
constitutional process.
-
The Democrats
have announced they will pursue impeachment charges against
President Trump because an unverified, hearsay whistleblower
made a complaint about a phone call between Trump and
Ukrainian President
Volodymyr Zelenski.
Impeachment odds soared overnight as someone was tipped off
about the Democrats' plan.
-
Bitcoin's
hashrate mysteriously flash-crashed more than 40% presaging
a massive $1500 drop in price.
-
Donald Trump
delivered a blistering critique of socialism at the United
Nations General Assembly. Too bad he's nearly as bad as the
ones he's fighting on the far left.
-
Europe's Trio
of Faded Glory,
...joined in the
chorus of unverified condemnation of Iran in the attack on
the Saudi oil field on the 14th (September 2019.)
-
The Federal
Reserve continues to bail out banks to the tune of $65 to
$75 billion per day through overnight repo operations that
no one can give us an explanation as to why they're needed.
This feels to me, like a
multi-level coup against those that dare stand athwart the global
power structure. Both British and American leadership institutions
are under sincere attack with these moves.
The not-so-subtle message is,
"We own you. We are
in control and always will be."
Your champions will be
harassed until they are completely neutered and bereft of any
ability to implement the changes you want.
Meanwhile, the edifices of control that have been erected for your
benefit are crashing and require even more support.
So, it's time to attack
the validity of anything you might be considering to protect
yourself from the chaos we've created.
Democratic referenda
are ignored.
Bitcoin mysteriously
has its network attacked.
Unpopular parliaments
ignore the people and remain in power.
Centuries of
tradition and convention thrown out the window to serve the next
big thing.
'The world is going
to end in eight years,'
according to an 16 year-old Swedish girl
with PTSD and anxiety disorders but, we're supposed
to trust in the inevitability and permanence of transnational
super-governments to forestall the apocalypse?
When you lose control of
the narrative, when you spin a story out of whole cloth all you can
do is double down.
This is what the
Democrats are doing in the case of Ukraine (read
'Transcripts
of telephone conversation about Biden by Trump-Zelenski').
They have to stay on the offensive against Trump because if they
don't their lead candidate (yeah, right!) for President is
disgraced.
So, the natural thing to
do is,
Alinsky-like, accuse Trump of the
very thing that Joe Biden did and was
caught on tape braying
about like the jackass he is.
It is over this that
Trump is to be impeached?
Daring to reveal the truth about an issue of real corruption in
a country deeply implicated in the fake collusion story
originally intended to remove him from the Oval Office?
This somehow hits the
standard of High Crimes and Misdemeanors?
It does when we live in a
world ruled by men, not laws.
Trump was, for all intents,
acquitted already in any obstruction of justice charges over
RussiaGate.
So,
how is his exhorting
a foreign counterpart to look into real corruption committed by
someone highly-connected to a former U.S. Vice President
anything other than him doing his job?
It is his job to prosecute malfeasance of government officials
is it not?
Trump's move to release
the un-redacted transcripts of the phone call was the right move.
And the Democrats'
continued pursuing of this will likely make them look like morons.
But here's the rub.
Take a lesson from
the British fiasco.
The whole process
through the courts was a sham.
The conclusion was
foregone the moment the challenge was filed to Johnson's
proroguing of Parliament.
The rest was theater because the Supreme Court was always going
to decide this way.
So guess what?
The Democrats would
not be pushing for this if they didn't think they have the votes
in the House and the Senate to get this done.
Ignore the
conventional wisdom on this.
They were wrong in
the UK.
They will be wrong here,
unless Trump has something else up his sleeve.
His
removing John
Bolton and refusal to attack Iran is driving the
neoconservatives to apoplexy. They want their holy war
against the apostate Shiites and they will get it.
Mike Pence will be
their avatar until such time as he can be removed through a sham
election in 2020.
If this wasn't the case they wouldn't be risking what's left of
their political future defending a
senile old man,
Joe Biden, who they don't
actually want to be the candidate anyway.
It's a coup folks...
And the full court press is on in this coup for your sanity and to
radicalize you into violence. They are daring us to strike back here
so then they can be justified in going on full lockdown and cancel
future elections.
They have to do this...
Their financial
markets are in the early stages of collapse.
The dollar liquidity
crisis has started which will drain Europe of its life blood.
This has the feel of
those months leading up to Bear Stearns' dissolution which
culminated in Lehman Bros.
in 2008, which broke the engine
of the world.
The elite reacting this way is
predictable. They were always going here.
But the problem is that
while you can make something awful legal, it doesn't make it right.
And people know what's right and what is fair. Breaking the compact
between rulers and the ruled, sets a dangerous precedent for
reciprocal violence...
Because overthrowing a President for doing his job and destroying
government to nullify a democratic referendum, are points of no
return.
Brits and Americans alike are learning the terrible lesson that, it
is time to put away childish things like representative government,
and that elections matter.
They don't... You will be
presented with nothing but
Hobson's Choices from here
forward. The image you hold in your head of your country is not the
reality of the one you live in.
The
dystopia is real...
