The mind-numbing weirdness of Joe Biden’s insertion into the election of 2020 — like the furtive groping of an intern in a cloakroom — only signals the Democratic Party’s reckless drive to self-destruction, dragging the republic over the edge of an abyss with it. How did this hollowed-out figure of a grifting old pol find himself pretending to national leadership, and in an historic moment of crisis that goes far beyond the mere wrecking of an election? Who wanted him there so badly, and why?
My guess would be Barack Obama, Hillary and Bill Clinton, and
John Brennan anxious to stay out of prison, heading a long list of officials
present and former who committed crimes trying desperately to protect them,
with accessories aplenty across the aisle. That’s what this four-year coup has
been about, snowballing criminality, culminating in an orgy of blatant ballot
fraud. At this fraught stage of the drama, they’re hiding behind the pretense
that all the old rituals of torch-passing must be observed for the sake of
decorum, and they’re mistaken.
The Biden family’s moneygrubbing exploits in foreign lands had
already been revealed in the previous act of sedition, the ridiculous
impeachment attempt. In that episode, it was well-established in the public
record that Hunter Biden grifted more than a million dollars out of the
Ukrainian gas company, Burisma, and that his father had stupidly bragged on
tape about covering for him. Yet William Barr’s DOJ was already in the
possession of Hunter’s laptop, chock full of evidence that Hunter was raking in
way more millions from other countries, and that the loot was being distributed
to his relatives. Why did they keep that from the president’s lawyers with Mr.
Trump in jeopardy of being railroaded for asking Ukraine’s president to have a
look at it? Would Mr. Barr say they were protecting an ongoing investigation by
keeping it all secret? What a lame excuse, under the circumstances.
Just as impeachment concluded in failure, Mr. Biden got smoked
in the early primaries, only to triumph mysteriously in the March Super Tuesday
voting. After all, a primary is the party’s own election, and they can engineer
it however they want. So, they contrived to elevate someone already criminally
culpable in the mind of any citizen paying attention and capable of adding
two-and-two to get four. Weird, a little bit?
But then Super Tuesday segued right into the Covid-19 virus
crisis, with all the destruction to livelihoods and interruptions of normal
life that ensued, and the lingering odor of the Hunter Biden story wafted away
in the bleak spring zephyrs. Only to return in the fall, because the fellow who
ran the computer shop where Hunter B foolishly abandoned his laptop — one John
Paul Mac Isaac — became annoyed that the FBI seemed to be ignoring it, and gave
a copy of the hard-drive to Rudy Giuliani, who examined its contents closely
and went public with it — quite a trove of evidence, with an added frosting of
selfie porn photographs showing Hunter enjoying sex and drugs. You know the
rest, with the news and social media striving to bury all of it for two weeks
before the election.
So, the Biden family must be strongly motivated to finish the
burial by getting into the White House, installing an attorney general who will
lower that casket of turpitude into a grave, and whistle the back-hoes to fill
it in. And while they’re at it, dig a few more holes in the ground to bury the
treasonous activities of the Clintons and Barack Obama in matters that might be
labeled “Uranium One,” “Skolkovo,” “Hillary’s Emails,” “the Iran Deal,” “Fusion
GPS,” “John Brennan’s 2017 IC Report,” “the Mueller Investigation,” and more.
Donald Trump had to be prevented from winning a second term at all costs, lest
that burden of rot get spewed into any actual courtrooms like so much spoiled
lunchmeat.
The trouble is, Mr. Trump actually does have the evidence, and
he intends to use it after four years of being remorselessly fucked around by
his antagonists. So, the nation is at the point in this long, winding drama
that has become a fight to the death and there will be no rituals of torch-passing
just to keep up appearances that everything is functioning normally. Mr. Trump
has the evidence of widespread, yes widespread,
ballot fraud. He is the president, after all, and he has all the information.
As he’s said more than once, he’s caught them all. And they know it.
Of course, the CIA and the FBI, those pillars of the Intel
Community, are still trying to withhold what they can, but the president is not
having it. He’s taking away the CIA’s most precious asset: its resources for
making mischief on-the-ground — its airplane fleet and its armaments, handing
them over to the Pentagon — reducing the CIA to the simple task of analyzing
signals from the world scene. And so, the CIA has been refusing to cooperate
with the Director of National Intelligence, John Ratcliffe, as a last gasp to
preserve its long-running illicit prerogatives. That will eventually trigger
the president’s invocation of the 2018 Executive order 13848, allowing, at long
last, the arrest and prosecution of many desperate characters who tried to run
away with the US Government.
But probably not before the last legal avenues have been
traveled: Sidney Powell’s case against the Dominion vote system in the Supreme
Court, a long-shot like all the other cases that the court is loath to touch;
and the business of the alternate electoral college slates to be hashed out in
the House on January 6, Vice-President Mike Pence, presiding. Democrats and
their coastal elite supporters are not going to like it. If they call out their
Antifa troops, those feckless weenies with their hoisted cell phones and stupid
umbrellas are going to be crushed this time, not indulged like three-year-olds.
The wild-card all of a
sudden is what the nation will also do about the foreign actors reportedly
messing around with the government’s most critical computer systems. China?
Iran? Russia? They’re
a match for America’s own domestic enemies, who must be neutralized first
before we’re capable of dealing with outsiders. The gyre widens.
