It's Going To Get Messy
“Politicians are like diapers. They need to be changed often and for the same reason.” Mark Twain
Imagine, if you will, that you're a member of the American ruling class at the back end of 1945. You reign supreme over every nation outside the nascent Soviet bloc, whether by force of arms or by virtue of the greatest economy the world has yet seen. Maintaining that hegemony must be priority number one. Cue the establishment of a vast array of international institutions, the World Bank and the IMF – the spawn of the Bretton Woods Conference of 1944 – and the United Nations (1945) chief among them. By 1948, the UN had issued its Declaration on Human Rights, “forbidding territorial acquisition by military force.”(1)
But that was okay. You've established the CIA in 1947, which was immediately into its stride with the rigging of the Italian election in 1948. Wikipedia is somewhat coy on the subject, preferring to emphasize the logistical and financial aspects of the CIA-led campaign, but the reality is that the Mob was recruited and ballot boxes across the land were royally stuffed;(2) a process that was repeated over the next 24 years.(3) George Kennan, a godfather of the Central Intelligence Agency, authored a memo on the subject of political warfare which came to be the template for American meddling around the world.(4) He emphasized the need for a 'department of dirty tricks', supposedly foreign facing:
“They also renamed the war department to the Defense Department. So again, as part of this diplomatic onslaught for political control, rather than it looking like it’s overt military control, but essentially what ended up happening there is we created this foreign domestic firewall. We said that we have a department of dirty tricks to be able to rig elections, to be able to control media, to be able to meddle in the internal affairs of every other plot of dirt in the country. But this sort of sacred dirt in which the American homeland sits, they are not allowed to operate there.”(5)
All, allegedly, in the service of spreading 'democracy' far and wide. And so the censorship industry was born. The CIA was in the business of rigging elections and bribing foreign media organisations to actively subvert other countries, some of whom naively believed that they were already democracies. The recalcitrant were also eliminated; over the years, the elected President's of Guatemala, Ecuador and Panama have all been dispatched with extreme prejudice.(6)(7)(8) But usually local 'jackals' were able to foment enough unrest – then exaggerated by the international press – to get the job done.
In truth, it's never been about democracy. Over the decades, the CIA has overthrown or attempted to overthrow at least 50 legitimate overseas governments (even the agency itself acknowledges a proportion of them);(9) it's been about geo-political influence and private profit. 'Democracy' came to be a code-word for the entrenched interests of the intelligence services and their sidekicks in the military. In similar fashion, 'free speech' was used as an instrument of statecraft, championed by “the Pentagon, the State Department and our sort of CIA cutout NGO blob architecture”(10) and used to unseat disfavoured leaders.
The US defense/intelligence nexus (the national security state) has been responsible for the creation of all the internet's free speech technology;
“VPNs, virtual private networks to hide your IP address, tour the dark web, to be able to buy and sell goods anonymously, end-to-end encrypted chats. All of these things were created initially as DARPA projects or as joint CIA NSA projects to be able to help intelligence backed groups, to overthrow governments that were causing a problem to the Clinton administration or the Bush administration or the Obama administration. And this plan worked magically from about 1991 until about 2014 when there began to be an about face on internet freedom and its utility.
Now, the high watermark of the sort of internet free speech moment was the Arab Spring in 2011, 2012 when you had this one by one – all of the adversary governments of the Obama Administration: Egypt, Tunisia, all began to be toppled in Facebook revolutions and Twitter revolutions. And you had the State Department working very closely with the social media companies to be able to keep social media online during those periods.”(11)
Domestically, in breach of the so-called foreign/domestic firewall, the CIA was busy gaslighting the US population, also. This campaign was codenamed Operation Mockingbird and the CIA started it in the early fifties as a project to subvert the corporate media for its own purposes. Usually, this entailed 'hiring' journalists to promote the agency's point of view. In today's money, they were spending over $1 billion a year on an operation that was off the books; there were reportedly over 3,000 CIA operative involved and over 400 journalists and the project corrupted CBS, the New York Times, ABC, NBC, the Associated Press and other notable news sources.(12)
But, by 2014, it had become apparent that even 'free speech' had its limitations. Despite another successful color revolution in Ukraine, there were counter coups in the Donbas and Crimea. Clintonesque cosying up to the Russians was suddenly ditched; in its place, Russophobia and a fundamental reset of NATO (US) strategy. Internet free speech, even the variety that they had controlled, was no longer of utility. Now, the US national security state was all in on the Gerasimov Doctrine:
“...you don’t need to win military skirmishes to take over central and eastern Europe. All you need to do is control the media and the social media ecosystem because that’s what controls elections. And if you simply get the right administration into power, they control the military. So it’s infinitely cheaper than conducting a military war to simply conduct an organized political influence operation over social media and legacy media.”(13)
Germany and Eastern Europe became home to political warfare units, the joint creation of the US, the UK and the EU. Their task was to counter Russian 'misinformation', of the sort that had 'infected' the Russian-speaking people of the breakaway republics and Crimea so profoundly that they paid no heed to the imprecations of the West. Whether the CIA et al are really so delusional that they cannot understand that ethnic Russians would prefer to be part of Russia - particularly when their government is the subject of an obviously engineered coup that installs an illegitimate regime that is hostile to their existence – and that Russian 'propaganda' would, therefore, not have been the decisive factor, is unknown to me.
In any event, it wasn't long before the apparatus was also targeting political parties hostile to friendly regimes in Germany and the Baltic states. And then, suddenly, there was Brexit which, as far as I'm aware, has never been shown to be a Russian disinformation operation, either. NATO (once again, the US) seems to have come to a rapid conclusion; the biggest threat was no longer just Russia – it was also right-wing populism. That would seem to be somewhat counter-intuitive, but not when we factor in who was feeling threatened.
The US could see the potential for the structures that maintained their reign in Europe and further afield to be toppled like ninepins. What if Marine Le Pen won in France and a referendum endorsed Frexit? Or the AfD gained power in Germany – could there be a Gexit? If the EU came apart, so would NATO. Without NATO, the IMF and the World Bank would have no enforcement arm and the patchwork of “financial stakeholders who depend on the battering ram of the national security state would basically be helpless against governments around the world”.(14)
So, from the US military's perspective, if they didn't start fighting 'misinformation' by censoring the internet, “all of the democratic institutions and infrastructure that gave rise to the modern world after World War II would collapse.”(15) The logic of this train of thinking may not be apparent to us, but it seems to have been persuasive to those in the know.
And here, of course, is the rub. 'Democratic institutions' are not necessarily synonymous with democracy itself. They might have been, at some point, but one would need to be persuaded of the notion that they still were. In the case of entities such as the EU, claims of democratic legitimacy are wholly disingenuous. Its center of political gravity is the unelected Commission, not the Parliament and, in practical terms (as Viktor Orbán memorably quipped), “Brussels is just a bad contemporary parody” of the Soviet Union.(16)
Similarly, the UN, the World Bank, IMF, NATO and the like are organisations created by democracies – they are not, in themselves, democratic. Nor have they been utilized, primarily, in the service of democracy. They are blunt instruments that have been used to benefit a small group of Western elites; it is evident that private enterprise, elements of the state and the United Nations are all working together in the service of the private entity rather than the common people.(17)
Nonetheless, the self-serving pointy heads in the national security state managed to persuade themselves that 'democracy' itself was under threat from people exercising their democratic right to free speech – not the corrupt institutions that they were using to impose their will, but actual democracy. It's a neat trick and one that I suspect some of them actually believe. Hence, when yet another talking head goes on MSNBC and says that Trump is a threat to democracy, what they really mean is that Trump is a threat to the institutions that they have been using to subvert democracy. As is anyone else who dares to shine a light on their deception.
And they go on about disinformation and democracy continually, don't they? It's almost a verbal tic with our elders and betters. If you're reading this, I suspect that you are already a little distrustful of the rhetoric, especially when their alleged concerns are frequently expressed in the context of upcoming elections that they are clearly on course to lose. Biden, in particular, doesn't seem capable of giving a 'speech' without mentioning the 'threat to democracy' embodied by his prime political opponent. I've always thought that it was simply a cynical device, designed to condition us to accept anti-democratic actions that are allegedly necessary to save it and I certainly haven't jettisoned that opinion, but this interpretation of the meaning also passes the smell test.
When Sunak says that democracy is being targeted by extremists, or Scholz harangues the AfD in similar terms, they aren't categorizing 'democracy' in a way with which we might be familiar. Their definition has transmogrified – to them, democracy is no longer intrinsically to do with the will of the people, but is instead represented by a collection of institutions which are, conveniently, controlled by them. The fact that many (most) of these institutions have been created sans public input matters not. Neither does the fact that these entities no longer serve 'the people', if they ever did.
I would imagine that after the Ukrainian debacle in 2014 and the shock of Brexit in June 2016, Trump's victory in November of the same year must have been the biggest rupture of all. It would be more surprising if they hadn't felt events getting away from them. The Russiagate link makes sense in this context – if all the censorship infrastructure was outwards facing, towards Russia, fabricating a corruption scandal featuring Putin's cronies played to its strengths; there was no need to re-calibrate the focus, because Trump was a Russian asset. Until he wasn't, because no trace of untoward collusion could be found. Mueller came up empty in July 2019, in spectacular fashion, and the Russian disinformation predicate disappeared in a puff of smoke.
So, Trump was still standing and the Deep State was facing the prospect of five more years of him. This was deeply unpalatable; Trump could not be brought around to the string-pullers way of thinking. Something more had to be done and it was; just in time for the 2020 election. The national security state persuaded itself to perform another intellectual back-flip;
“...they took all of this censorship architecture, spanning DHS, the FBI, the CIA, the DOD, the DOJ, and then the thousands of government funded NGO and private sector mercenary firms were all basically transited from a foreign predicate, a Russian disinformation predicate to a democracy predicate by saying that disinformation is not just a threat when it comes from the Russians, it’s actually an intrinsic threat to democracy itself.”(18)
Their regime change toolkit, the internet and 'free speech', had undergone a domestic transformation that they had been unable to control. Social media didn't exist until the advent of Facebook in 2004, but Twitter and YouTube followed in short order, as did the Smartphone. Initially, these developments weren't a problem, but that state of affairs didn't last. It gradually became apparent that, on an uncensored internet, independent citizen journalists could out-compete the legacy news media. The latter had always been controlled by the national security state; NBC, ABC and CBS had all been created by the War Department in World War II and the CIA is directly linked to the likes of Fox News, the Washington Post and the New York Times.(19)
2016 was the year the realization hit home, but there was never any true introspection. No acceptance that the reason that the population had become increasingly disenchanted with mainstream narratives was because they could now see that they were false. And there was no changing of ways. Rather, there was an attempt to wrest back control, to treat the undermining of the legacy media as yet another threat to their version of democracy. Of course, preserving that particular 'democracy' is a sacred task – any and all moral accommodations that might be required to complete it are, therefore, necessary and justified.
I find that twisting myself into a pretzel, so that I might justify what I was always going to do (simply because of my character), taxing. The denizens of the Deep State's national security state, on the other hand, seem to take to it naturally;
“...after Russiagate died and they used a simple democracy predicate, then it gave rise to this multi-billion dollar censorship industry that joins together the military industrial complex, the government, the private sector, the civil society organisations, and then this vast cobweb of media allies and professional fact checker groups that serve as this sort of sentinel class that surveys every word on the internet.”(20)
Mis-, dis- and mal-information (defined as information that is true, but unwelcome) – as defined by these gatekeepers – became cyber attacks. 'Democracy', in the form of 'democratic' elections, would be undermined by any criticism of mail-in ballots or Voter ID law. Therefore, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) was entitled to view any such expressions of opinion – true or otherwise – as an attack on democracy. And, because mainstream media buttresses 'democracy', an attack on its narratives was similarly beyond the pale. That was the easy part, as the permanent bureaucracy represented by DHS already had control of those levers.
Social media companies were a different beast, but they could also be brought to heel. Through the 'threat to democracy' narrative, they were able to strong-arm Facebook, Twitter, TikTok, Twitter and others to take down, shadow ban or ring fence anything that they didn't like. That included 22 million tweets and, in total, hundreds of millions of posts across fifteen platforms.(21) This operation began seven months prior to the 2020 election. At that point, they already knew how they were going to steal it:
“They knew the only way that Biden would win mathematically was through the disproportionate Democrat use of mail-in ballots. They knew there would be a crisis because it was going to look extremely weird if Trump looked like he won by seven states and then three days later it comes out actually the election switch...the National Security state said, well, the public will not be prepared for [that]. So what we need to do is we need to in advance, we need to pre-censor the ability to even question legitimacy.”(22)
They're still at it. Perhaps you've seen the manufactured outrage about TikTok and the bill that has been railroaded through the lower chamber of Congress, ostensibly to ban it on grounds of 'national security'. It is, instead, the most shoddily camouflaged Trojan Horse, designed (in combination with a recent Executive Order) to target any speech which the blob (in the person of the President) deems unacceptable.(23) There will be no 'right of appeal':
“If Congress, or anyone else, takes issue with the president’s decision to go after an internet company supposedly controlled by foreign adversaries, only the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) can investigate. If the DOJ is politically motivated to align with the president (as many Americans feel the current system is), then what assurances do the people have that the DOJ will find the president violated the law?”(24)
The answer to that question would be “none”, which is precisely why the law is framed as it is. Once again, Republicans are given top cover by the narrative; they are able to return to their default setting (professional ignorance) and pretend that the government would never weaponize a purposefully vaguely worded law against its own people. Perish the thought. Until, of course, Twitter/X gets targeted and by then it will be too late; if one is of the opinion that Musk isn't controlled opposition already, a position that's tenuous, at best – it isn't as if shadow-banning and random suspensions are a simply a thing of the past.(25)
Nevertheless, it seems that TikTok, as toxic as it is, may not be as malleable as the other Big Tech behemoths (it wasn't during the 2020 election cycle, anyway). Facebook, TikTok's primary competitor, has been given a leg-up, reward for Zuckerberg's election meddling, one assumes. The likes of Amazon, Microsoft and Google were already in bed with the Feds. Amazon has a $10 billion contract with the NSA, the DoD has a $9 billion deal with a coalition of companies including Microsoft, Amazon, Oracle and Google, with the latter also being a major recipient of the $694 billion that the government hands out in contracts.(26) One might safely make the assumption that they don't want to give up their position at the trough and, if that involves running a few algorithms at the blob's behest, sobeit.
But what else does the likely passage of the bill tell us? Well, theoretically at least, what's good for the goose is good for the gander, so why would Biden be so keen to sign legislation that would give Trump – the man that the Left reflexively labels a 'dictator' and a 'threat to democracy' – “unprecedented powers to censor and control the internet”(27) were he to win in November? The logical answer would be that the Democrats aren't sweating the election.
They are concentrated on their processes, seemingly in the believe that their chosen outcome will necessarily follow, but while they may still be able to curate some narratives, the trust genie is out of the bottle and isn't about to be forced back in. An increasing number of people are coming to the realization that they can't trust what the state tells them about anything. In fact, they are likely to conclude that the opposite of what they are told is more likely to be the truth. It makes astro-turfing the electorate (once again) ahead of the November election something of a challenge, because they've already seen that movie. But that isn't going to stop them trying.
However, the alleged 'get out the vote' entities that the Democrats want us to know about are largely a front. The resources will undoubtedly be used; just not for what it says on the tin. The Left has no real need of them for that task and, in truth, getting out the vote could well prove detrimental. Their whole operation is about controlling ballots and that can be best achieved if the voter never receives the mail. I'm sure a proportion will be harvested, whether a state allows it or not; we know that this happens due to previous exposés in Minnesota and elsewhere,(28) but why go to all that trouble when simply omitting an apartment number or changing a postcode is far more efficient?
Nonetheless, the Democrats really want us all to know how much effort they are expending on the mission to mobilize their sloth-like base. That way, when they miraculously squeak victory after victory in November, there will be a (highly implausible) cover story to fall back on. So, Kamala holds a White House summit with 'voting rights groups', who all turn out to be Leftists (29) and who come up with a brilliant plan to pay students to sign up new voters. What could possibly go awry? Biden himself had already weaponized the federal government on behalf of Democrat objectives, including partnering with the Brennan Center, an outfit well known for suing to oppose Voter ID and for advocating for mail-in voting.(30)
Zuckerberg will, once again, loom large, despite the fact that many of his endeavors in 2020 broke laws. His voting vans were illegal,(31) as were his targetted 'grants' to election jurisdictions (32) and the infamous drop boxes, which were supposed to be under '24-hour surveillance', but which weren't.(33) Undeterred, CTCL (Zuck's Centre for Tech and Civic Life) is intending to manoeuvre around the slew of laws passed in the aftermath of the last presidential election by this time partnering with government agencies, effectively masking its status as a private entity.(34)
The contention is that election offices need 'extra' funding, in additional to their federal funding. This is because they are intending to extend their role into areas that should not concern them. It is taken as read – by Leftists, at any rate – that federal entities somehow have a duty to 'get out the vote'; they don't. They have a duty to ensure that elections are impartially run and secure, but neither of those objectives seem to be a priority. And so,
“...the Zuckerberg boys will march into leftist-dominated cities - again, writing checks and controlling election machinery. They know who voted, who did not vote, who never votes (and vote them), how many votes are needed. Each of these actions has a common characteristic -- it happens within 2-3 weeks during early voting!”(35)
Zuckerberg will have company this time around. In Wisconsin, a Democrat group has been effectively buying votes through an online app. They intend to expand this scheme to all the swing states in 2024.(36) In Arizona, two allegedly neutral members of the Maricopa County Election Board (both Republicans) set up a PAC to target their own side,(37) an approach that has also been adopted by Republican Voters Against Trump (RVAT), a group that will be spending $50 million on ads in the swing states that target Trump. The rhetoric emanating from this entity is particularly unsubtle:
“Former Republicans and Republican-leaning voters hold the key to 2024, and reaching them with credible, relatable messengers is essential to re-creating the anti-Trump coalition that made the difference in 2020.”(38)
Given that over 70% of the electorate knows exactly why Trump wasn't re-elected in 2020 (which was nothing to do with disaffected supporters), this operation sounds a lot like yet another attempt to gull us into believing that the upcoming Democrat victory will be legitimate, by pretending that campaigns such as this actually have an impact. Foreign nations are also welcome to insinuate themselves into US electoral politics, provided they are on the correct team. Yes, I know that the Leftists have always been reliably apoplectic about election interference from overseas, but that was because it was a stick with which to beat Trump. When the money comes from a fellow traveler, crickets.
Swedish billionaire Hansjorg Wyss definitely fits that definition, as he has spent nearly $500 million on left wing causes, which includes nearly $200 million (in 2022 alone) used to help Democrats win elections and in “backing state ballot measures”,(39)(40) while using a web of dark money groups to disguise his involvement.
This massive funding for the Democrat's election machine is in addition to millions of dollars that are laundered through unsuspecting money mules by an organisation called ActBlue, which appears to be a formerly legitimate organisation (tied to the Democratic Party) gone bad. Between 2004 and 2007, it raised $25.5 million for candidates. But it was just getting started. It 'raised' $1.6 billion for the 2018 mid-terms and a further billion the following year. Records continued to be broken in the succeeding years.(41)
Unfortunately, those allegedly doing the donating – massive number of registered voters, often elderly and of modest means – were unaware of their own generosity, which often amounted to thousands of different donations totaling tens, if not hundreds, of thousands of dollars.(42) Where the money really comes from isn't known and likely never will be, as the Feds (predictably) aren't interested in fraud that's committed by Leftists.
Figure 1
The irony is that, while all this cash is washing though Democrat 'campaigns', precious little of it is being used in attempts to demonstrate their collective electability. And, given their record-breaking unpopularity, that would likely by a thankless task, anyway. No – instead it's being used in furtherance of fraud. The methodology is pretty straightforward. The Democrats need as many names on the voter rolls as possible. To that end, they've been allowing them to bloat for the past forty years.
Voters who have died, voters who have moved, the ineligible, the underage and the made-up; all remain on the rolls, regardless. The Electoral Commissions are obliged to cleanse the rolls, but they don't; they pretend that the Electronic Registration Information Center (ERIC) does it for them, in the full and certain knowledge that its true role in to ensure that they remain dirty (Wisconsin, an ERIC member, had 7.06 million registered voters in November 2020, in a state where only 3.6 million were eligible).(43)
Figure 2
Hundreds of people can be registered to parking lots, churches, businesses and P.O. Boxes. This is the raw material and there needs to be enough of it to make up for any shortfall in the genuine ballots that have been cast for Leftists. Every alleged voter has an address and is entitled to a ballot. However, prior to the step-change occasioned by the 'pandemic', the vast majority of voters would vote in-person, on election day. Absentee ballots were, typically, only available in extremis and ballots were only sent to those who requested them. Additionally, voter ID and signature verification laws were enforced at least some of the time. That isn't to say that fraud did not occur; just that it was likely either more labor intensive or more risky. Multiple in-person votes at different locations may have been required and some ballots may have had to be added to the totals without ever having left the building.
And, indeed, there were numerous occasions when boxes of Democrat ballots turned up out of the blue while the count was still ongoing at county level.(44) A 2018 mid-term race in New Mexico is the benchmark for the old approach – a Republican candidate was announced as the victor by local and national press, only for two boxes of 'missing' ballots (totaling 8,000) to be discovered, the contents of which flipped the race to the Democrat by just under 4,000 votes on a swing of 27%.(45)(46) Now, of course, the incrementalism favored by the blob has transformed election 'day':
“Given the current political and legal landscape, it is hard to imagine “emergency” election measures taken in response to Covid-19 in 2020 ever being rolled back, as they have suddenly brought into reality an objective that Democrats have been working toward for decades.
That objective is an electoral world in which polls, historical trends, economic issues, messaging, voter enthusiasm, candidate quality, traditional get-out-the-vote efforts, candidate debates, and voter persuasion no longer matter in elections.”(47)
While the Democrats control the process in most states, RINO Republicans are also beneficiaries. The golden rule is that as few America First candidates as possible achieve office. It may be that the general election itself is sabotaged, or the Deplorable is taken out earlier in the piece, at the primary stage. In a state race in Wisconsin (that particular state is probably the dirtiest of all), between two Republicans, numerous phantom voters moved from their home addresses into the relevant district, voted, and then moved back. The same thing happened in Florida and in both cases it was the MAGA candidate who was defeated.(48) In Allegheny County, Pennsylvania (effectively, the city of Pittsburgh) 109% of the voter roll allegedly cast ballots in a mid-term primary – an election that usually registers a turnout of 20-25%.(49)
In the current iteration of election management, many states simply send a ballot to every 'voter' on the rolls. Or they say they do, anyway. But, given that large numbers of voters don't live at the locations that the ballots are sent, the envelopes either aren't delivered or they accumulate in the mail-rooms of apartment buildings, the vestibules of churches or service mailboxes. Additional undeliverables accumulate at post office sorting centers. These are ballots addressed to parking lots and the like, but also those with artfully incorrect zip-codes, which have been changed – briefly – and then been changed back once the ballot has been dispatched, a practice that leaves no electronic trace on the rolls themselves.(50) Like this:
“County election managers change the zip code of 31,000 voters on September 3. Ballots go out that week. Those 31,000 are undeliverable. Someone collects those valid ballots. On September 15th, those addresses are quietly changed back.”(51)
The same sort of stroke can be pulled with 'inactive' voters; those who rarely (or never) vote in federal elections. They can be changed to 'active', be voted and also then changed back.(52) The key is ensuring that the floating ballot is accessible, so that it might be collected and voted. The hundreds of random ballots that accumulate in those apartment mail-rooms, for example are collected by vagrants who get $25 per ballot.(53) Or they end up back at the Post Office:
“Members of our team interviewed U.S. Postal workers in Illinois and Wisconsin -- learning they regularly collect loose mail-in ballots for Democrat operatives -- by the tens of thousands. They toss returned Republican-area ballots into the trash. They actively work with leftist organizations to make sure only leftist-area ballots are in play.”(54)
These voters may be individuals who actually exist (or existed) – they've simply never been taken off the rolls when they moved address or expired. They may be registered at the homeless shelter or the gas station, but never vote. Nonetheless, they are now a forever voter. Another phantom is the person who never votes, the genuinely inactive voter, rather than a transient. They remain on the list, to be used as and when required. And the voter rolls never shrink; they simply continue to grow and anyone who tries to get phantoms removed is accused of 'voter suppression' by Leftist voter commissions who refuse to co-operate.(55)
Much of the time, the Secretary of State (of whatever hue) and the commissions are in on it – sometimes, the Governor and other government entities are, too. The sins are by both omission and commission; refusing to clean rolls, or to verify signatures, changing the rules weeks before an election, ignoring the more ballots than voters gig, Post Office managers backdating ballots, registering 16 year-olds and voting them, allowing NGOs to register random voters via a web portal and then providing the same entities real-time access, multiple registrations of the same person, tens of thousands of voter registrations with the same ID (180,000 in one instance) – you name it, they're doing it.(56)(57)(58)(59)(60)(61)
Every state's voter rolls are a mess and, in the swing states, there are anomalies present in 5-18% of all registrations.(62)(63) However, when a disfavored candidate wins bigly – over 5% - the fraud is considerably more difficult to obscure. The stash of phantoms that have been accumulated during early voting, by virtue of undeliverables and late additions to the voter rolls (they're added late, because this blindsides the Republicans) may not be sufficient to allow for a smooth, subtle steal. Sometimes, election commissions need to get radical and that is difficult to do inconspicuously:
“One must shut down the election apparatus around 11:00 P.M. because the trend lines show not enough ballots to overcome the growing margins. There needs to be a white truck delivering more ballots while teams erect cardboard along the windows so nobody can see what is happening.”(64)
Which happened in 2020 and in 2022. And if even this proves insufficient to manufacture 'victory'? Well, there are other backstops that can be deployed. Real citizen votes aren't counted, but are replaced with fake ballots.(65) On election night 2020, voting machines were connected to the internet. Data was sent overseas, to Iran, Serbia and Germany amongst other locations.(66) Votes were stolen from Trump's total and added to Biden's – on live TV.(67) Further,
“...hundreds of thousands of electronic votes are infused in key swing states and counties, using removable storage devices, (vDrives and SD drives) where mail-in ballots alone are insufficient in creating the desired outcome.”(68)
The voting machines themselves are designed to be easily compromised by those granted remote access. Outcomes are, therefore, usually foregone conclusions:
“Dominion vice president of U.S. engineering, Eric Coomer, is on record acknowledging the programmability of Dominion voting technology to fix votes, saying “Don’t worry about the election; Trump’s not going to win. I made f***ing sure of that!””(69)
American elections are among the least secure in the world – by design. It's Fred Karno's Circus on steroids. Anything goes as long as a Democrat or a RINO benefits and/or a MAGA candidate suffers. The Democrat-controlled election infrastructure is not prepared to countenance defeat and so, in its hubris, it reveals its corruption. The Secretary of State in question is prepared to preside over an outrageous steal, hang on until the date that they must certify the election and that's all she wrote.
There's the usual wailing and gnashing of teeth from professional Republican losers, drawn out court legal challenges that go nowhere fast and, once the Electoral College count has come and gone, it's just two weeks to inauguration. If the 2024 steal isn't compromised before it happens, it will succeed. There aren't enough Justices with sufficient intestinal fortitude to fight the good fight – it'll be déjà vu, all over again.
There is another element of note, another fail-safe that shouldn't be available, but which undoubtedly will be – the army of illegal immigrants that have crossed the southern border. It wasn't previously obvious to me how the open border strategy could work in the short term. My presumption was that some sort of amnesty would be required, but its now apparent that federal elections are far more lawless than I had assumed. There seems to be a tacit acceptance that illegal immigrants will vote in their millions, as no preventative measures are being proposed. Voter integrity experts – ones who are worthy of the designation, not the fake entities that frequently assume the moniker – are on the record with their assertions that state rolls are already being flooded with new registrations.(70)
"There are massive influxes of new voters, and in many cases those new voters are highly likely to be illegal voters being signed up through the DMV, etc.”(71)
It is estimated that up to 2.8 million non-citizens voted in the 2018 mid-terms alone.(72) They shouldn't be able to, as it's against federal law,(73) but in the alternative universe in which US Presidential elections exist, little value is vested in the word 'should'. Even nominally Republican legislatures (such as in Texas) can't bring themselves to pass laws that require proof of citizenship before being permitted to register to vote.(74) The courts won't mandate the requirement, either.(75)
And so the Left allows unchecked immigration across the southern border and, when they belatedly find themselves in the eye of a Republican storm (of the tea-cup variety), they fly them in, instead. The Biden administration is currently flying up to 30,000 illegal aliens per month into 43 different (and undisclosed) airports in the US. In 2023 alone, the total was over 300,000.(76) Helpfully, the regime uploaded an app (CBP One) to both the Apple and Google stores, so that illegal aliens could schedule their unlawful crossing – I kid you not.
Once again, the judiciary were able to justify federal government's blatant derogation of its duty, even though 21 states sued.(77) It gets better (for the economic migrants, at least);
“...the program has been offered to citizens in Cuba, Haiti, Venezuela, Nicaragua, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Colombia, and Ecuador. The regime’s parole program gives the foreign nationals legal status for two years makes them eligible for work authorization.”(78)
Leaving aside the nailed-on injustice of allowing the Feds to simply dump illegal immigrants in states that are then obliged to pay for the privilege of looking after them – a huge burden, in and of itself and one that has cost Californian taxpayers $31 billion and Texan taxpayers $13 billion, to mention only two of the states affected -(79), the impact on electoral politics is vast.
By artificially boosting population in blue states, Democrats are playing a long game. A Biden Executive Order will require the Census Bureau to count everyone in the next Census (in 2030), regardless of citizenship status. By shipping vast numbers of illegals to 'sanctuary cities', the Left is setting up a future power grab, as the current numbers equate to the addition of another 13 congressional districts that they would be able to 'win'.(80)
They will also benefit in the here and now:
“Election commissions regularly add to election rolls, automatically, every person using any state service – even if that person has not requested to be an elector. Your illegal migrant, getting welfare or a driver’s license can be automatically added to the state rolls.”(81)
There is little doubt that this is precisely what is happening – not just in blue havens, but in every state in the nation. It comes as no surprise to learn that the swing states (both acknowledged and unacknowledged) receive more than their fair share of new 'voters – Nevada, Arizona, Georgia, Virginia feature prominently, as do perennial Democrat targets Texas and Florida.(82)
The Leftists are aware that another steal will be much more difficult this time. Biden is far more unpopular than in 2020 and they'd been obliged to cheat outrageously in that election simply to get him over the line and even then he averaged less than 50% of the vote across all the swing states, 'besting' Trump (on average) by 49.6% to 48.4%.
The term 'swing state' and its application to a curated list of states is, itself, another example of gaslighting when we take ballot fraud into account. We don't actually know which states are genuinely swing states and, by extension, which of the currently labelled aren't even close. New Mexico, Minnesota, Virginia, Maine and New Hampshire are all Democrat by ten points or less.
Even New York, allegedly a Democrat stronghold, might be in play if elections weren't rigged. In 2020, by way of example, the election was certified despite there being 338,000 more votes than participating voters (Pennsylvania was only marginally less corrupt with an excess of 202,377).(83)(84) In the 2022 mid-terms, there were 750,000 votes cast by invalid or illegal registrations and another 1.5 million registrations that were counterfeit.(85) So who knows what political flavor New York really is?
It is sometimes instructive to also take heed of the make-up of state legislatures and then contrast them with the results of federal elections, because sometimes the fraud doesn't go all the way down ballot. So, in North Carolina, a state Trump won by 1.4% in 2020 after a seemingly relentless post-election day winnowing of a large lead, the state House is solidly Republican (72-48), as is the Senate (30-20). In New Hampshire, a state that allegedly went to Biden by 7.4%, the legislature is also majority Republican, as are the Governor and SoS. Although the state of Virginia's Congress is marginally Democrat (by 51-49 and 21-19), the Governor and SoS are, once again, from the GOP. We are, however, obliged to suspend our disbelief when Biden won by more than ten points in 2020.
In the most commonly cited swings states (Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin) nine of the legislative chambers are majority Republican and the three that aren't – both Michigan chambers and the House in Pennsylvania – are on a knife edge; 54-54, 20-18 and 101-100. Yet, coincidentally, all of the Governors and Secretaries of State are either Democrats or notorious RINOs, which comes in handy when uncertifiable elections need to be certified. All together, the nine aforementioned states are worth 111 Electoral College votes (out of 538) and hold the balance of power.
In a genuine election, it is difficult to look beyond a Republican landslide, particularly as Biden's unpopularity is proving impossible to ignore, even by his own campaign. Only one in four voters think that the US is going in the right direction, as opposed to the 65% who are awake and not blinded by ideology.(86) Trump is increasingly popular across several demographics, including amongst women. Apparently, the Democrats think that “there are tectonic shifts going on amongst the electorates”,(87) although they don't wish to be drawn on the reasons as to why, nor why it is that they're not shifting in the incumbent's favor.
It's not particularly difficult to divine. Besides their champion's obvious senility, there is the unpopularity of their cultural agenda. By way of illustration:
“A new poll finds that by a margin of nearly 3 to 1, respondents don’t think that it should be legal to provide minors with puberty blockers, drugs, and/or surgery to transition from one sex to the other. And by an even bigger margin, better than 7 to 1, respondents said that biological males who “identify” as female should not be permitted to compete in girls’ and women’s sports.”(88)
Then there's Bidenomics, shorthand for raging inflation and the resultant crippling debt. The proportion of debt that is likely to be written off is rising fast. It doesn't matter how often people are told that all is well; they know that they were better off under Trump.

The recent Super Tuesday primaries were informative. In Biden's uncontested primary in Minnesota, 19% of Democrats (rather than staying home) voted “Uncommitted”(89) and numerous progressive down ballot measures in deep blue cities and states were rejected.(90) Biden's State of the Union address, slathered over by Leftists, was the least favored (among even CNN supporters) in the last quarter century.(91) And a recent poll found that Trump is 6% up on Biden in Pennsylvania, a state the Democrats must win if they are to retain the White House.(92) This is surprising only to the political class, who forget that Trump grew the RNC mailing list of donors from 3 million to 50 million in 2016.(93) All of which means that the electoral map is currently somewhat lacking in the color blue, a circumstance that even CNN have been obliged to acknowledge.(94)
Figure 5
But Biden is only one side of the coin. Surely it must be possible for Trump to neuter by shutting down at least enough of the fraud to win? Well, the jury is out on that. Strange narratives are being propagated, but one of the markers which indicates that all is not as it seems is anomalous behavior. I can fully understand why the establishment GOP was averse to any suggestion that elections were rigged, as their complicity would be revealed. But the Trump campaign, despite all the rhetoric about stolen elections, has never set out the detail of how it happens – it has never shone a light on the methodology. It still isn't. In fact, it is deliberately misdirecting. But they must know the details; while they are suppressed, they're not difficult to find and yet, publicly, the solution is a spot of ballot harvesting and early voting?
"Turn out the vote, protect the vote, and raise money, but I would argue that maybe the most important of those three is protecting the vote; election integrity."(95)
In reality, if the enemy controls the voter rolls and the entire voting process, voting early simply gives them a quicker heads-up. It might even mean that the suspicious long count can be ameliorated or, perhaps, eliminated altogether, as they can dip into their sack of phantom ballots a little sooner. Sure, if some of the habitually inactive voters (at least, that's what they think they are) can be persuaded to vote Republican, they will partially spike the Democrats' guns – maybe. If the Republicans harvest these ballots and keep a tally, they will effectively throw down the gauntlet. If the Democrats change the vote from red to blue, it will be detectable – later. If they delete the vote, it will also be detectable – later.
But what good will that do? 70% of Americans already know that elections are stolen – the battle for hearts and minds has already been won. And courts have amply demonstrated that they lack the will to involve themselves in post-election challenges, in stark contrast to their pre-election activism. Perhaps the plan is to overwhelm the margin of fraud? While attempts to do so have been partially successful in the past (witness some of the 2022 mid-term results in California, New York and Arizona), that was before the influx of millions of illegals.
It seems that there are three possible explanations. Either, in defiance of all the available evidence, Trump's team doesn't actually know the mechanics of the fraud; or, they do, but they are sending a signal to the blob – namely, 'we will not upset the apple cart and are prepared to play the role of gallant loser - again'; or, they are selling the Democrats a dummy - they want the Left to think that they are going to stay within the guardrails, while they offshore the election integrity effort to other entities within the states. I have a feeling that this latter explanation may well be the truth; the new RNC immediately filed suit against the Michigan SoS, alleging that 53 of the 83 counties had more registered voters than there were adults of voting age.(96)
There are other reasons to hope that reality has been belatedly embraced. The Michigan lawsuit is apparently one of 78 lawsuits in 23 states that are being brought so as to make it easier to vote and harder to cheat.(97) It is notable that Trump's daughter-in-law is prepared to use the 'c word' (liberally), as the RNC had also previously avoided any suggestion that the electoral system was anything other than fit-for-purpose – as had pretty much every mainstream 'conservative' pundit. She's not been holding back, especially when addressing the serial misrepresentations of the DoJ's Merrick Garland:
"Democrats are bleeding and hemorrhaging voters. They understand that they cannot fool people in this country any longer so they have to import people. The only reason you wouldn’t want voter ID is if you want people who cannot vote to vote in these elections. It is insane."(98)
She isn't entirely alone in her efforts. Judicial Watch is also suing Illinois over their voter rolls, as it has become clear that the counties were not cleansing rolls, either; some 15 counties also appear to be suffering from the 'more registrations than voters' syndrome that regularly afflicts Democrat controlled states.(99) And in Arizona – where, in the 2022 mid-terms, 60% of voting machines were deliberately programmed to fail on election day – Republicans are still suing the state for redress.(100)
But evidence that the campaign itself is actively cleansing the rolls – rather than relying on a judicial system that is clearly dysfunctional – is not currently in the public domain and while Trump's takeover of the RNC aligns his campaign with the establishment framework, if it ploughs the wrong furrow, little will be achieved and the Judas Iscariot wing of the Uniparty will have chalked up another win.(101)
It is apparent that various Deep State actors are getting their orders. One Pippa Malmgren, a member of the Council on Foreign Relations and Chatham House – organisations that are instrumental behind-the-scenes on both sides of the Atlantic – has opined that RKF Jr could redefine the election paradigm by getting enough Electoral College votes to prevent either main candidate from getting to the magic number of 270.(102)
There are some problems with her analysis; RFK Jr will bleed more votes from Biden than Trump;(103) 10% of 2020 Biden voters say that they are switching to Trump this time around;(104) and no third party candidate in the past century has had a decisive impact on a presidential election. Not to mention the fact that it'll be the Democrats' electoral machine that will have the final word. But I'm sure the author is fully aware of these salient facts. Her job is to float a scenario, to begin the process of normalizing an outcome that doesn't feature an outright Trump victory. Every time a Leftist writes an op-ed like that they are, in addition to indulging their TDS once more, tipping their hand. That's not to say that a contingent election (the process that would be triggered in the event of a hung election) is a definite; merely that it may be a path that the Democrats choose.
It's certainly a very attractive option and one that I can see the blob using, as it entirely voids the public vote and places responsibility for electing the next President in the hands of Congress. Each state gets a single vote (even though their House Representatives will almost inevitably be from both sides of the aisle) and it's first to 26 states. Meanwhile, the Senate is electing a VP and, if no candidate can accrue 26 votes in the House, the VP becomes acting President.(105)
The opportunities for mayhem are, obviously, bountiful. However, by that criterion, the Republicans won 27 states in 2020 – as against 20 and three tied – and 26 in the mid-terms against 22 and two ties. Looking at the numbers (and assuming that the ties vote with the Democrats), it's very difficult to see where the Democrats will get two more states. One, possibly – the notoriously corrupt Arizona and perhaps another tie in Michigan to give them 23, with three ties. But it's not even close elsewhere. Everything would have to go just right and, in reality, they are far more likely to lose ground than they are to gain it.
These calculations are, of course, dependent on some difficult-to-quantify variables. If the level of fraud is greater than in the past two election cycles, then all bets are off. Likewise, if the Democrat/RINO nexus manages to insert some sleepers that can be relied upon to 'vote with their conscience' rather than for their candidate; we shan't know the answer to that conundrum until the smoke has cleared on the primary season. And, finally, we don't yet know where all the illegals are and how many of them are going to be voted for.
There has only ever been one contingent election since the process was amended in 1804 and the House distinguished itself by choosing the runner-up.(106) There are no federal laws governing such elections and, were one to occur, it would likely be a complete cluster. If the Left didn't get its way, it's not difficult to envisage a repeat of the political violence of summer 2020.
Whatever the detail turns out to be, one overarching question presents itself; why would we expect them to blink now, when they are on the verge of consolidating their hold on power, possibly for generations to come? Especially when they have consistently demonstrated that their instinct is always to press on regardless, rather than reach for the pause button?
If polling continues to trend against Biden – and it will – and if the Steal is too egregious, it'll be a massive middle finger to the electorate. Perhaps that might not be favorite. My feeling is that the cabal wants to be in control, at all costs. If there is violence from the Right (not a typical outcome, regardless of the provocation), they will want it to happen at a place and time of their choosing, à la January 6th. I would expect them to lance the boil on their own timetable, using all manner of assets and undercover operatives; it will allow them to bury any discussion of their second coup, in the same way that the Capitol riot allowed them to bury talk of their first.
The blob doesn't leave outcomes in the lap of the gods. A 'pandemic' featuring a 'novel coronavirus' was never a likely event; notwithstanding the fact that pandemics are extremely rare, once it became apparent that a plot was afoot, the presence of a deadly pathogen could be safely ruled out. There would have been far too many variables involved, not the least of which was the possibility that members of the chosen elite might fall victim to it. Covid was simply the setup for the sucker punch – the 'vaccine', dissemination of which could be controlled.
The 2020 election was another case in point, as was the protest-cum-riot on January 6th; the number of Feds and agent provocateurs in the crowd that day numbered in the hundreds.(107) Even the CIA had boots on the ground.(108) Tactically, it's better to provide an outlet for the angst and then crack down ridiculously hard, so that any other individuals minded to go off-piste have a rethink.
There are, however, several possible scenarios. The only constant, I believe, is that the Democrats/Deep State will attempt to steal the election again. It is not their style to have spent decades building their edifice, only to abandon it at the critical juncture. The existence of the national security state – which we can surely infer from the evidence of its ongoing attempts at censorship, both in the case before SCOTUS and in the near simultaneous legislating all over the West – combined with the tidal wave of illegal immigrants, who are being automatically added to voter rolls, combined with the fact that elections boards in multiple states are frantically adding even more registrants of unknown provenance, are not indicators of a failure of nerve.
But beyond that one contention, much is still up in the air. The Democrats are undoubtedly preparing the ground with backstops this time around, which is an interesting development as they didn't deem them necessary in 2020. They are either less certain of success or they are feigning concern in an attempt to persuade us that there is still doubt as to the outcome in November. My money is on the former explanation, as the Left doesn't generally bother to work overly hard on making their cover stories convincing; it's beneath their dignity and is indirectly empowering to the vermin they oppose.
Stopping Trump hasn't been going well. The judgement was that it would be better if the contest were to be Biden v Haley – which was clearly the plan once DeSantis crashed and burned – because a good proportion of the MAGA base would likely stay home on election day, thus making a Biden 'victory' more plausible. And rescuing the establishment GOP from extinction. Once again, however, the plan has unraveled in short order and, unless Lara Trump is a latter-day Ethel Rosenberg, the RNC will not countenance Haley's candidature if some misfortune befell Trump himself.
Haley was never going to take him out and the lawfare timetable has (inevitably) gotten snarled up. The intention, presumably, was to disrupt Trump's campaigning and convict him of a federal crime prior to the election. It appears, however, that they may have miscalculated. The odds of a pre-election trial are rapidly moving against the blob; the judge in Florida is not optimistic of an early trial and may even toss the case (she found that Trump's motions to dismiss “may be of considerable help”)(109)(110) and the judge in Georgia has just dismissed some of the charges in the bogus election interference case.(111)
SCOTUS still needs to come to a judgement as to whether Trump's presidential immunity renders yet another case moot – they will hear legal argument on April 25th, but may not render judgement for months. The highest court has already dunked on those states that attempted to remove him from the ballot under the 14th Amendment on the grounds that (in the words of the Colorado SoS) he's an “oath breaking insurrectionist”.(112)
So Biden and Trump are the presumptive nominees and Biden must win. Would it perhaps be better if Trump didn't make it to November? It depends on what the national security state has in the works. Perhaps its denizens really do want to provoke a conflagration, although there is surely too much risk attached to that course of action, as there is no guarantee that they would come out ahead. But maybe it's an option if the electorate is locked-down, either due to another 'pandemic' or, better yet, under martial law.
In the latter scenario, particularly, law enforcement would be forced into a position where it was obliged to crack down on election protesters who would be demonized as unpatriotic, at best, or traitorous. There would be no stand-down like the ones that were a feature of 2020, not if the country was at war. And wars always result in a much more draconian censorship regime. Republican lawmakers, en masse, will fall over each other in their rush to swear fealty to the flag and will bloviate about 'putting politics aside' and 'pulling together'. A war would give them the perfect excuse to participate in another coup, all in good conscience.
War doesn't seem unlikely, at present. The Biden administration and their European lackeys are continually raising the temperature with regard to the conflict in Ukraine. If it's not Macron floating the possibility of NATO boots on the ground,(113) it's the German top brass discussing whether they should blow up the Kerch Bridge (114) or the Finnish PM stating, in the complete absence of evidence, that Moscow is preparing for “a long conflict with the West.”(115)
If the string-pullers believe that martial law plus a wholly mail-in election awash with phantom ballots is the optimum combination, then they won't hesitate to bring it about. They may not need to take Trump out in those circumstances. On the other hand, they could simplify matters by enlisting Haley and giving the ballot stuffers a break by removing Trump from the equation and the possibility of an attempt on Trump's life was given credence just last month by none other than the FBI, who (conveniently) claim that Iranian hitmen are targeting the former President.(116) If I were a cynical man, I might see that disclosure as a form of scene setting.
If Trump somehow stays out of both jail and rifle sights, if he confounds the blob once more with his support, if it simply cannot manufacture enough ballots to prevail (much will depend upon preventative election activity, if that scenario is to come to pass), the Left can always fall back on the narrative that they are going to hammer continually between now and November. Namely that Trump is a dictator, a demagogue, a threat to democracy – their version of it – and simply cannot be allowed to assume office.
This week has provided a sterling example of the tactics they will adopt. Democrats and the legacy media (I repeat myself) attempted yet another false smear with their shameless “bloodbath” hoax and, yet again, it bit them on the ass.(117)(118) Not that they're bothered. Sure, if the terminally naïve fall for it, all well and good, but it's not primarily about winning votes; after all, the stupid people already vote Democrat. It's about creating pretexts, otherwise known as predictive programming. It's about making us understand that any – and I do mean any – action that they take that prevents Trump's accession is justified.
Whether that narrative truly takes hold in the hearts and minds of their constituents isn't important. It's all about appearance, a script or a play-book that they follow at all times and we already know that it's working; 57% of Democrats would oppose Congress certifying the 2024 election if Trump wins it.(119) Quite how they could justify that position is not further explored, but it doesn't seem particularly democratic, does it? Neither does the former House Majority leader's assertion that it's the (grossly fraudulent) popular vote that counts, not the Electoral College:
"It's hard to have a democracy, where repeatedly, you put the minority in the control of the government. That's a problem. Now, we all know why it is, we have the Electoral College. that was a compromise they made in 1789, we know that. So we gotta work around it. It is what it is. We have to work around it, we will work around it."(120)
Working around the Electoral College, eh? That's what you do if you're a Democrat and you don't get your way. The blob is doing what the blob does – normalizing the future outcomes that it may impose upon us. And, in the minds of its factotums, what we would see as the circumvention of democracy by despotic means is, in fact, a necessary defense of democracy from a man who would tear it down.
Because, once again – for the avoidance of doubt - they have convinced themselves that it is the nominally democratic institutions (which they have suborned in service of their own agendas) that must be preserved, not democracy itself. They know best, we most certainly do not – not if we're going to elect Trump. They view him as an existential threat and they are right to do so. Given their pathological nature, any and all measures are justified.
The national security state/blob/Deep State has existed for the best part of eight years. It has seldom been challenged (the Kennedy brothers, excepted) , in part because of our ignorance of its existence, but it's being challenged now and it really doesn't like it. I cannot imagine a circumstance in which it throws up its hands and surrenders – especially as Trump has been crystal clear about what he intends to do to it. Exactly what the order of battle will be is still unclear, but it must surely involve a blatant steal in November; if there is a November and if there still is a Trump. Whatever it is that's coming down the pike, there will be hints in advance of it. Time is short, in a sense, but seven months is also enough time in which to create havoc.
