The
election of 2020 is perhaps the most bizarre affair in modern American history;
not since the post-Civil War turmoil of reconstruction and the election of
1876 when the nation was divided completely down ideological lines.
Questions of states' rights versus federal power were at the forefront, and
the presence of federal troops in the south was a primary voting concern.
The Democrats at the time were the party of the South and the Confederacy,
the Republicans were the party of the Union. Though they had lost the war,
southerners were finding ways to strike back during the elections.
With the Republican Party suffering from
corruption allegations and public sentiment shifting against the federal
occupation, the Democrats were gaining massive ground and a Democratic
sweep was thought to be imminent. However, there were reports of ballot-box
fraud on both sides of the aisle; in many voting districts, the
counted number of votes exceeded the number of people (often on the side of
Republicans). Republicans sought to challenge poll results in closely
contested states to stop the Democrats and former confederates from taking
political power, a situation they considered to be a "national
disaster."
The election became a stalemate of legal
battles and fraud investigations. Ultimately a deal was struck — the
Republicans would take the White House and in exchange federal troops would
be removed from the South (the Republicans knew that voting fraud on their
side would be exposed and that another civil war could erupt in response).
Ultimately, the votes did not matter in the case of a contested election;
what mattered was which outcome was the most convenient for stability at
the time and the election result was maneuvered to that end.
(Special Note: If you try to learn about
the 1876 election, I recommend searching for articles and books that are
more than 5-10 years old. Anything written in the past few years on the
subject is rife with spin and disinformation. Just check out this article from Time magazine and try to swim
through the propaganda! The part where they attempt to explain why
democrats used to be the party of the Confederacy is especially hilarious —
basically, the democrats of the past were more like the "racist
Republicans" of today. The communist penchant for rewriting history is
on full display.)
Today, we have a different dynamic —
which outcome will lead to the biggest disaster, and who will take the
blame? In contrast to 1876, I believe that in 2020 the elites are seeking
to increase the level of instability, not calm the
waters. The mainstream media has launched a massive fear campaign hinting
at a potential contested election and both sides of the aisle are accusing
the other of encouraging ballot fraud. I have no doubt that whichever way
the election goes, millions of Americans will refuse to accept the results.
To be clear, I don't really view modern elections from the perspective of
"winning" and "losing." It's hard for me to say exactly
what was going on behind the curtain in 1876, but today I think it is
foolish to engage in election analysis without first accepting the reality
that the game is rigged. Biden is a full-blown globalist and is proud of
it; Trump is surrounded by globalists and banking elites in his cabinet.
Regardless of who loses, the elites win. The only question I am here to ask
is, which candidate serves the globalist agenda most effectively right now?
My original prediction for the 2020
election this past summer was that the White House would go to Donald
Trump, but under sharply contested conditions. I predicted Trump's win in
2016 based on the premise that the establishment needed a conservative
scapegoat for the impending collapse of the U.S. economy as we know it
along with the civil unrest and calamity this event would inspire. I stated
unequivocally on numerous occasions that Trump would preside over America's
rapid decline and that conservative ideals and principles would be blamed
by extension.
And behold, in 2020 this is exactly what
is happening, with a pandemic and the implosion of the "Everything
Bubble" now in full swing and the media placing it all in the lap of conservatives.
Now, whether or not people believe this
tripe is another matter. As it stands, the worst-hit states economically
are states controlled by leftist politicians that are enforcing draconian
lockdown restrictions on the population. States run by conservatives are faring much better overall.
The point is, which outcome serves the
establishment narrative? Do the elites need Trump in office longer in order
to crash the system completely on his watch? I believe this is the case.
Like Clinton, Biden represents one of the worst possible candidates that
could have been chosen as an opponent for Trump if the intent is to remove
Trump from the Oval Office. His odd mental breaks, embarrassing gaffs, his
habit of being creepily over-familiar with women and young girls and his
exposure to corruption through foreign ties make him a poor contender.
To be sure, Democrats and leftists will
vote for him anyway out of spite, but I have a hard time seeing him
rallying a wide cross-section of Americans that would give him an edge. If
the establishment wanted to be rid of Trump, they could have chosen better.
But what if I'm wrong and a Biden
presidency is forthcoming? What if ballots are rigged to one side, as they
were in 1876? What if a contested election leads to an
"agreement" in which Trump steps down? What would it mean to have
Biden in the White House?
Well, the U.S. system as we know it is
going to fall either way, at least in terms of the economy. This is a
process that was initiated many years ago, with the impetus of financial
bubbles hitting disaster proportions in 2008. Nothing has improved since
then; in fact, the central bank bailouts and stimulus measures only increased
the likelihood of a collapse event by inflating corporate and national debt
levels while simultaneously diminishing the buying power of the dollar. The
only difference between Trump and Biden in this regard is how fast the
collapse will happen.
With Trump, the crash will most likely
happen slower and more methodically as the establishment takes its time
building the narrative that conservative ideals, nationalism, sovereignty
movements, etc. "caused" the calamity because such philosophies
are "inherently selfish" and destructive. Meaning, at least with
Trump, we have a little more time to prepare for the inevitable.
With Biden in office, the time frame
changes completely, and the crash must move faster. Why? Because the
globalists cannot allow a Biden administration (and by extension the
globalists) to be labeled as the culprits behind the crash. They would have
to expedite the downturn in the early months of Biden's first term so that
the media can claim the crisis is an aftereffect of Trump's presidency.

If
Biden does enter the White House in 2021, expect a hard plunge in economic
fundamentals almost immediately.
Another factor of a Biden presidency
would be the high probability of federally enforced pandemic lockdowns. Forget
about the current state-by-state lockdown orders and nuances; Biden will
attempt a national lockdown mandate because he is not held back by a need
to appeal to a conservative and liberty-minded constituency like Trump is.
Biden will go for broke, and the economy will take another massive hit as
businesses go into bankruptcy at breakneck speed. And again, this would
have to be implemented quickly so that Trump and conservatives can be
blamed. They will claim harsh lockdowns "have to be pursued"
because conservatives refused to accept them during the early stages of the
pandemic.
Furthermore, it is obvious that a second
Trump term would be used as an invitation for mass demonstrations and riots
by extreme leftists, but this threat doesn't go away with Biden in office.
Actually, the riots may become worse under Biden. The social justice cult
will see Biden as a "malleable" and easily controlled political
figure who will do their bidding. Biden will placate the hard left; not
because he fears them, but because he has a role to play in this great
Kabuki theater and it serves the interests of the globalist agenda at the
moment.
Finally, if the establishment puts Biden
in the White House it means they want national gun restrictions or outright
confiscation within the first couple of years of his term. Biden's anti-2nd
Amendment views are hardly ambiguous. With Trump, the chances of a gun grab
are much slimmer (though he has voiced support for Red Flag laws in the
past). Under Biden, the gun grab will be swift. This threat along with
Level 4 lockdowns on a national level would elicit the only logical
response left for conservatives — armed rebellion.
I do not think this is what the
globalists want at this point in time. I do not think they have the
capacity to handle it, and I do not think they would be able to get a
majority of law enforcement and the military to go along with such
policies. This is why I continue to believe they prefer Trump in office and
that they will use economic decline and the "failure" of conservative
policies as a false rationale for the "global reset" the elites
seem to be so excited about.
Be warned, however, that if Biden ends up
in office, this should be treated as a warning sign that a high-speed
collapse is on the way.
To truth and knowledge,
