Rigging the vote

Who Is Paying for This?

In the wake of yesterday’s post about Harris renting crowds of adoring fans for the appearance of a groundswell of public support, I also noted that social media is awash is posts of lefty supporters. My social media feeds are swamped with what appear to be paid shills. The photoshopping of giant crowds into photos where no one was really there.

All of this costs money, but one has to wonder where it’s coming from. Did you know that Harris’ campaign raised $40 million in only 3 days last week? Not only that, but she raised $540 in the 34 days between Joe dropping out on July 21 and August 25.

The windfall brings the total amount of money raised for Harris’ election efforts to $540 million since President Joe Biden dropped out of the race on July 21 and endorsed the vice president, according to the campaign.

They claim that her campaign collected $41 million on July 22 alone. That is an incredible amount of fundraising. The Democrats claim that these amounts of fundraising are coming in small amounts from new donors. Let’s put this in perspective. Here is what the Presidential candidates have spent in every election since 1984:

Sourced from Statista

First, look at what Biden spent in 2020. He didn’t really run a campaign, yet spent 3 times as much as any previous campaign (Obama in 2008), and four times what Trump spent- a total of $3.155 billion, or more than $40 for every vote that was tallied in his favor. One wonders where it all went.

I can believe that Obama had over a billion dollars in small donations. There was obviously a lot of interest in his campaign, and it did appear to be organic, grassroots interest. Remember the school kids singing songs praising his name?

Since HOTUS inherited Biden’s $91 million war chest, she now has around $650 million in funds. I wonder where all of that money is coming from. I don’t think that it is all small donor money. The Democrats have already shown that they are falsifying donor records in order to circumvent campaign finance laws.

There are big money donors that are very interested in faking popular support for the Democrats, that much is obvious. I can’t imagine that it is any individual, or even small group of individuals that are doing this. My guess is that the only people with this kind of money to toss around aren’t people, but a nation-state.

The huge groundswell of public love for HOTUS? It’s fake. Check it out- people who were in a restaurant in Moon Township, PA were kicked out at 4 pm. A crowd was then bussed in to refill the place

About two hours after the new “patrons” were in place, Kamala and Walz showed up to be greeted by the crowd, with the crowd fawning all over them.

One little beta male thanked Kamala for “bringing it back” (at the 8 minute mark). This is how they are going to press the “Aw, shucks, we are regular folks like all of you. Despite the fact that we have been in charge for the past 4 years, we are going to fix everything that the previous administration did. Everyone loves us” narrative.

It’s all theater. The supposed crowds are all paid actors. The social media is all paid shills. Keep in mind that the place was closed during a crowded event, with normal patrons being kicked out. That means the entire staff was screwed out of their tips. Far from caring about the little guy, HOTUS screwed all of them over.

The press was there, they filmed it, they reported it as if it were a real event. They are complicit. What you are seeing is theater. What you are seeing is that the press is actively conspiring to destroy this nation.

After leaving the restaurant, Harris stopped at a nearby gas station for some Doritos. The gas station is being sued by the Biden administration for using background checks in their hiring process, which the administration says is discriminatory. I wonder if these places will see their lawsuits dismissed for allowing her to use the place, or if this is just legal arm twisting?

Fake administration. Fake support. Fake events. Fake votes. Real communism. Real tyranny.

Reality, Not Black Pills

Star Wars came out when I was a young boy. When I was a kid, I used to fall asleep wishing I had a lightsaber and an X-wing fighter. I dreamed of what it would be like to fly it to school. Those are the dreams of a young boy.

There are those who tell me to “chill out on the pessimism” because “Trump is going to trounce any Dem they throw at him.” So let’s take a look at both possible outcomes.

What if Trump loses and HOTUS takes office?

In this scenario, there will likely be a good amount of cheating involved, just like in 2020. How hard we are screwed depends upon how far down the cheating goes. Heading into the election, the Republicans have a 220 seat majority over the Democrats’ 215 seats. (There are three vacant seats.) Democrats need to gain five districts to win a majority in the chamber. That would be bad.

As of this point in time, 45 districts are open because the incumbent is not running for re-election. Of those 45 seats, 21 of them were held by Republicans and 24 by Democrats.

The silver lining there is that the Democrats would need to gain 75 seats to have an Amendment approving 2/3 majority, and that isn’t likely to happen.

Things are almost as bad in the Senate, where the Democrats hold a 2 seat majority. There are 34 seats up in 2024 – including a special election in Nebraska. 23 of those seats are currently held by Democrats or Independents. Republicans can retake control with a net gain of two seats.

If the Democrats win the Presidency and both houses of Congress, Kamala is planning on Federalizing the patents of any company that doesn’t comply with her price controls.

Now on to the other possibility:

What if Trump wins and takes office?

OK, now what? The US has more than $142 trillion in unfunded liabilities, and we are bleeding to the tune of $3 trillion or more per year. That number is so staggeringly large, it’s difficult to imagine. To put it in perspective, this number is equal to more than 93% of everything that every American has. This includes all of their assets in savings, real estate, corporate stocks, private businesses, and consumer durable goods like automobiles and furniture.

More than two thirds of that debt- $104 trillion- is Social Security. The only way to save everything that you own, the US will need to repudiate Social Security. The money that’s been coming out of your check every week? That money is gone. Even amongst my readers, I can hear the cries of “but, but, I had better get paid, that’s my money.”

What do you think will happen to any politician who tells you that the US can’t afford social security? Yeah.

So Trump can’t and won’t do a thing to stop that bleeding. Even were he to try, Congress won’t buy into that, and neither will the American public. There is no stopping this juggernaut. So everything that you own, all that you have saved, everything, is going to be gone. There is no choice but for the economy and the government as we know it to collapse. It’s just a matter of when.

Once the money stops flowing and people are hungry, they will cry out for a strong leader to fix everything. Sure, the government will be out of money, but they will still have guns, ammo, and lots of hungry enforcers. In collapsing governments, the people with the guns and the authority never go hungry. That’s why Kim Jong Un is fat in a country full of starving peasants. We will see a dictatorship in this country that will last for generations, and many in the government will support this if it means becoming rich.

So with the above facts, if you disagree, tell me how Trump winning will fix everything. I just don’t see any other end to this.

Knowing that, all we can do is prepare for the worst. Sure, vote for Trump because that’s all we can do, but that doesn’t mean that you don’t prepare for what is to come.

My prediction remains the same: The bureaucrats and Democrats (I know, same thing) will make sure that Trump doesn’t again become President, and we will be on the road to communism in short order. Even if Trump were to win and take office, we will wind up in a collapsed economy and people will demand that debts are cancelled, the rich will be blamed, and we will still be on the road to communism.

Tell me how I am wrong. Don’t just say silly, childish wishes like “Just because YOU can’t see it, doesn’t mean that there’s no way out.” Tell me how I am wrong, give me a realistic path out of this. If not, you are engaged in childish wishes that your government betters are going to somehow come up with a solution, and you might as well wish for an X-Wing fighter and a lightsaber.

Real, or Memorex?

Ever since her selection to be the Democrat candidate for President, the Harris campaign has appeared to be an unstoppable juggernaut of popular support. Here is one picture, purportedly showing a huge outpouring of support for her, as she arrives on Air Force 2;

Until you zoom in and take a look at the crowd:

Oopsie, that’s an AI altered picture. Zooming in to the engine, there is no crowd appearing in the reflection. Unless the entire crowd is made up of vampires, which is impossible, because vampires can’t survive in direct sunlight.

The left is saying that anyone who notices this is engaged in a misinformation campaign. Don’t believe your lying eyes- Harris is the most popular candidate ever. They cite Snopes as the authoritative source that this picture is totally not fake, and there were actually over 15,000 people there. After all, if the MSM says it, and Snopes fact checked it, that means it totally happened.

There is no isvestia in Pravda, and there is no pravda in Isvestia.

My social media feeds flipped to being overwhelmingly about THROATUS over the past few days. It’s been overwhelming to the point where social media is unreadable at this point. I am guessing that Kamala is using all of those campaign funding dollars to hire a few people to run thousands of social media accounts to shill for her. It wouldn’t be hard to do.

One person can easily send 30 messages/posts/tweets per hour, all on different accounts. That means a total of 240 messages in an 8 hour workday. If you were to hire 150 people at $15 an hour, if would cost you about half a million bucks per month. During that same month, more than a million messages would be posted in support of you from a million different accounts.

It would look like overwhelming support, and that is assuming you don’t use bots to get even more coverage.

You Need a Program to Identify the Acts of the Play

So here it is, to get you caught up:

  1. They tried to smear him in 2016 by claiming Russian collusion. The evidence, as it turns out, was fake.
  2. they tried impeaching him
  3. they tried impeaching him again
  4. they tried suing him into the poorhouse
  5. they filed tons of criminal charges against him, finally getting a conviction on some rather dubious legal grounds. When SCOTUS issued the ruling on Presidential immunity, the court delayed sentencing.
  6. All of the other cases were dead in the water. The left went apoplectic.

Then there was an assassination attempt on Trump’s life. In order for this event to have happened, at least one of two things must be true:

  • The Secret Service is entirely incompetent.
  • The Secret Service was complicit in the attempt.

There are no other possibilities. Where I am leaning is complicity.

In either event, the attempt failed. Then the poll numbers came out, and Trump’s numbers looked even better. It was at this point that Biden reversed course and decided to drop out of the race, citing health concerns. So now there are only two possibilities:

  1. Biden is too addled and mentally incompetent to run for office, which makes him too addled to hold the office of President, and he needs to go under the 25th Amendment. Now.
  2. Or, he resigned because his numbers looked so bad that it was unlikely that he would beat Trump in the election. In this case, the left is guilty of election tampering. The Democrat party can no longer claim to “support democracy(tm)”

No matter which of the above is true, welcome to banana republic status.

Rigging the Election, Sowing Confusion

Long time readers know that I have been saying for more than three years that the left would kill Donald Trump before letting him retake the Oval office. Even Tucker Carlson said the same last August and was lambasted for it, I believed the term used was “bonkers.”

At the risk of sounding like a conspiracy theorist, what happened yesterday was genius. The pictures of the shooter, wearing a t-shirt from a progun Youtube channel, then news that he was a Republican are simply genius. Had a purple-haired tranny been the shooter, the civil war would have begun almost immediately.

Instead, what we now see is a fig leaf that will keep many on the fence and allow both sides of the aisle to pander for gun control, thus creating enough of a smoke screen to permit an organized PR campaign calling people who disagree “conspiracy theorists.” He is supposedly a registered Republican, yet was donating money to leftist causes?

A voter-registration record showed that Mr. Crooks was registered as a Republican, though federal campaign-finance records show he donated $15 to the Progressive Turnout Project, a liberal voter turnout group, through the Democratic donation platform ActBlue in January 2021.

I don’t believe it.

I have worked with the Secret Service (not as an employee- they enlist local government for assistance) during three different Presidencies, and they are pretty good at what they do. They don’t let anyone get that close to their protectees. So how, I am asking, did a man armed with a rifle get within 150 yards of a secret service principal and no one noticed? Then there is this story with video of how they were warned about the armed man, and did nothing.

I don’t believe that story.

This was the swamp, trying to take Trump out. They are scared, they are willing to kill him, and by extension, they are willing to kill you. We have reached the point where people are voting from the rooftops, but the only people voting appear to me to be intelligence agency operatives.
