The political elites hate Donald Trump. They hate everything about him and especially can’t stand his “redneck” supporters. Besides his support of Israel, Trump truly was the anti-globalist president. But their hatred is only the beginning. Much more importantly, they fear a second Trump presidency. This fear was on full display this week when the FBI conducted a raid on his private residency1.
Last week, I wrote a blog about how the State controls the masses. This topic is way too big to cover in one post, so the events of this week are perfectly timed to continue with this theme. Not only did the State attack the former president, they slapped a $45 million fine on Alex Jones2. Whatever your thoughts on either of these men, the unprecedented scale of attacks against them should frighten anybody that loves freedom.
Foxes and Lions
If Jones lived in Russia or China, they would have made up a fake charge and thrown him in jail. These governments have “laws” that are so easy to violate that they would have been arrested me long ago for my blog. The US is vastly different, but only in procedure, not in intentions. Alex Jones and Donald Trump are clearly enemies of the State. But instead of crudely arresting these men, the empire has more effective and depictive techniques for dealing with them3.
The verdict against Jones will effectively bankrupt him. His net worth is estimated to be several times the verdict, but it sets a dangerous and open-ended precedence. To think that he should have to pay *anything* is an outrageous violation of freedom, especially the freedom to express an unpopular opinion. His only crime was opposing the empire, and for that, they found an issue to financially bury him.
Even if Jones had killed the children himself, it probably wouldn’t justify a $45 million settlement for “pain and suffering”. OJ Simpson, who brutally killed two people, only received a $33 million judgement4. To make things worse, there is a line of Sandy Hook parents with pending lawsuits. Jones is ruined and ruined forever. He will never be able to earn a living for doing nothing more than speaking his mind. There is no doubt that we live in crazy and dangerous times.
Crush Dissent
Neither of these attacks have anything to do with justice or rule-of-law. The purpose of these attacks is to silence and control dissidents. As my previous blog stresses, Jones has too big of a following to outright censor. So if Jones is too big, then what does that make Trump? Trump is so popular that he would easily defeat anybody from the Democratic party (and likely did in the last election).
The Biden presidency is a complete failure on virtually every issue. With no real alternatives available, their only option is to find some way to block Trump from running again. If the raid leads to a conviction, it could result in jail, fines, and disqualification from office. Some even claim he is guilty of nuclear espionage5.
It is a complete joke to think Trump has anything that endangers our nuclear arsenal. First, I doubt the deep state would have ever given Trump that information in the first place. After all, they lied to him about pulling out of Syria6. Why not lie about something significantly more important? Secondly, if Trump has anything truly sensitive, the authorities would have confiscated them years ago instead of negotiating with him for months.
What Next?
I believe they will not charge Trump or throw him in jail. If they do, the American Empire would lose all credibility at home and abroad. Just think about how the Chinese and Russians would use this as propaganda against the US. Instead, I see the deep state using the information from the raid as a way to blackmail Trump. Further, by not charging Trump, they can leave the issue unsettled, just as they did with Hillary during the 2016 campaign7.
Whatever their end game, I don’t see anyway in which the machine allows Trump to run and win in 2024. It just ain’t happen. Even if they have to find 20,000 mules, they will do whatever it takes to win, short of jail and assassination8.
Conclusion
We live in a political world. And as described in the The Machiavellians, it is a world focused on expanding and keeping power. Trump was an outsider that only delayed their plans for 4 years. With a puppet in place, the powers-that-be continue to expand the State and the war machine. Nothing exemplifies this hiatus better than the war in Ukraine: what Obama started in 2014, Biden greatly expanded to a billion dollar aide packages every month.
One delay was bad enough, but a second is unthinkable. The machine will not accept a second term and will do whatever it takes to keep power. If Trump continues to pursue power, it could result in disaster for either himself or the country. I’m mixed on whether I want to witness another Trump election or not. On one hand, I’d much rather have him as president than any clown the Dems put up. But I just don’t believe they will allow that to occur.
And if something terrible happens to Trump, I believe it will tear apart the nation. Both Trump and The Machine are playing a dangerous game of chicken. I’m sure whatever happens, many innocent people will be caught in the crosshairs, just like the foolishness of Jan 6th.
I have long advocated that decentralization is the only answer to keep America together. Unfortunately, Trump doesn’t get us any closer and neither does any other foreseeable alternative (except maybe DeSantis). Buckle up for a wild ride, because I fully expect 2024 to be one for the ages.
