Let The Dogs Out

Guest Post by Jim Kunstler

If he actually makes it through the Democratic “mostly-virtual” Convention to be held (sort of) in Milwaukee next week (but really on the Internet), Joe Biden’s acceptance speech will not be a live event. Instead, Mr. Biden’s head will be clamped in place, as in a Civil War era photograph, so that the audience won’t see his earpiece while an aide feeds him his lines — they wouldn’t dare rely on the candidate reading off a teleprompter. And you know what? It still won’t work. They’ll have to cut-and-paste the video so drastically it will look like an early edit of Ed Wood’s fifties’ classic Plan Nine from Outer Space.

One has a sense that a whole lot of scrambling is going on behind the scenes in DNC-ville this week leading up to the party’s dreaded coronation — and in other places, too, such as Bedminster, New Jersey… the fabled seventh floor of the FBI headquarters… across Pennsylvania Avenue at William Barr’s Department of Justice… and three blocks east in the hallowed chambers of the DC Circuit Court of Appeals.

Mr. Biden’s ominous stalling on his veep pick sends the signal to casual observers that this whole nomination pudding remains badly un-baked. Surely a few not-insane party higher-ups must know that Uncle Joe is not up to actually hitting the campaign trail. They don’t dare imagine what will happen as he is wheeled out to face those sparse crowds of “dog-faced pony soldiers” assembled in middle-school cafeterias across the land. Some kind of rolling debacle, fer sure: shouting matches, push-up contests, and moments of humiliating aphasic blankness. Is it back to basement, then? I guess so — but what about those debates Mr. Biden signed on for?

They’d never permit him to show up live. Instead, citing possible Covid-19 exposure, they’ll proffer a “virtual” Zoom hook-up, and once again Mr. Biden will be rigged with the trusty earpiece to be fed his lines. Or they’ll cook up some other excuse and just pull him out altogether. The foregoing assumes that Mr. Biden remains the Democratic Party’s candidate for president, which is assuming a lot. Meanwhile, I’d like to see some aeriel drone footage of the parking circle at Hillary Clinton’s Chappaqua, New York, hideaway this week… the limos coming and going, the CNN mobile video vans parked on the grass with a tangle of cables running up to the house… the coup to end all coups….

And what of the mysterious action in Bedminster, New Jersey, Mr. Trump’s hideaway? He made the intriguing remark last week at a campaign stop in Ohio: “I have a lot of rich enemies. You won’t see me for a while.” Rumors abound in the non-seditionist news media that something ugly is about to drop. Something, perhaps, that might bust open a suppurating fistula of Deep State corruption of which RussiaGate was one mere subsidiary side-pool of sepsis. Something that perhaps involves the evidence-trail of money-laundering that emanated out of Ukraine during Barack Obama’s second term — a whole fetid, reeking dumpster-load of evidence stealthily gathered under-the-radar by Rudy Giuliani lo these many months — of which the roles of Joe and Hunter Biden are already richly documented, but which may involve many other government poohbahs of both parties. And I say evidence because, as a skilled former federal prosecutor, Mr. Giuliani knows the difference between aspersions and proof. Was Mr. Trump intimating back in Ohio that it’s duck-and-cover time?

Attorney General Barr sat through a leisurely chat with Mark Levin on TV last night, a curious hour of understatement and elision, especially concerning the momentous matter of US Attorney John Durham’s way-overdue actions in the Russia Collusion hoax. Mr. Levin dropped the ball so many times in his questioning that it seemed deliberate — for instance failing to ask whether Mr. Barr had detected any prosecutorial misconduct in the pursuit of General Michael Flynn. There’s plenty of reason to suppose that Robert Mueller’s lawyers royally misbehaved in that case, colluding with FBI director Christopher Wray to withhold a ton of exculpatory evidence even to this day. There are plenty more reasons to suppose that the entire Mueller investigation was a knowing, seditious sham, and that several of his “team” members — e.g. Andrew Weissmann, Jeannie Rhee, Brandon Van Grack, Zainab Ahmad, Aaron Zebley, plus US Attorney Tanisha Guahar, and possibly Mr. Mueller himself — deserve to be indicted for their efforts to overthrow a president (not to mention a long list of other now well-known characters in the DOJ, FBI, CIA, and other festering places).

Speaking of General Flynn, his mandamus petition comes before an en banc session of the DC Court of Appeals on Tuesday. It’s hard to see how they can get around their earlier three-judge panel’s order under a mandamus petition for DC District Judge Emmet Sullivan to vacate the case, as now demanded by the federal prosecutors who brought it in the first place. We won’t rehearse the tedious legal arguments, except to say that where there is no prosecution, there is no case, and Judge Sullivan has no standing to act as prosecutor himself under the separation of powers in the constitution. But in these dark days of a weaponized judiciary, with its Lawfare henchmen grubbing away in the shadows, there’s no telling what bad faith gears may be turning in that mill.

So, buckle up for what, all of a sudden, looks like an action-packed week. Lay in some tonic water and gin for both Covid-19 relief and some self-prescribed anesthesia as America unleashes its dogs of war upon itself.

Seems that if the shit is going to hit the fan in the political/corruption realm, Trump better have thousands of well-armed folks at the ready to make things happen and to insure they stay in place. The media has locked down the truth pretty hard, and even getting visibility on facts will be a challenging thing (let alone getting anyone on the left to believe it).

Barr is running a coverup in spades-latest report, brennan will not be or is not a target of investigation-think about that and how that treasonous assh___ escapes. He was at least one of the ringleaers.

We are deep deep in the toilet!

Many forget Clapper testified he wasn’t in trouble because he was doing what those above his pay grade ordered. When you are DNI that means Obama. Trump said last week Obama and Biden committed treason. Obama and Biden are the targets. Everyone has now thrown Comey under the bus. Perhaps hoping he’s a big enough piece of chaff to throw off the incoming, but I doubt it.
As far as Trump seeking cover, he’s smart enough to already have ex Navy Seal bodyguards along with or watching his Secret Service people. Education Sec. Betsy DeVos’ brother is Eric Prince, founder of Blackwater and Trump supporter who probably arranged for those guards.
I further believe if any group or James Bond villain moves on Trump they will be immediately surrounded by or attacked by tens of thousands of Les Deplorables.

The last sentence of your post brings up a valid point.
Is Trump, or anyone in his family truly untouchable? Only a truly stupid or evil group would try.
I sometimes think about this question and remember how JFK was dealt with by the MIC (military intel complex) after the Cuban crisis. Les Deplorables and Les Miserables who were put out of work would shut things down and I guarantee there are many of them who wouldn’t think twice about intercepting a chunk of lead for the man.

If an open coup or worse happens to trump its is full on game of warfare. The right will pickup arms immediately and then the normies will join in when They see they have immunity from cops, and prosecution just like antifa enjoys today. You ain’t seen nothing yet. Wait until the right starts doing to the left what antifa is doing to defenseless motionless statues.

“While Russiagate’s exact starting point is murky, it is clear that Brennan placed himself at the center of the action. After the investigation officially got underway in the summer of 2016, as Brennan later told MSNBC, “[w]e put together a fusion center at CIA that brought NSA and FBI officers together with CIA to make sure that those proverbial dots would be connected.” (It is not clear whether this was a Freudian slip suggesting the center included Fusion GPS, the opposition research firm hired by the Clinton campaign that produced the Steele dossier of fictitious Trump-Russia dirt – but regardless, it is likely that at least some of Brennan’s “dots” came from the firm.) According to the New Yorker, also that summer Brennan received a personal briefing from Robert Hannigan, then the head of Britain’s intelligence service the GCHQ, about an alleged “stream of illicit communications between Trump’s team and Moscow that had been intercepted.” A U.S. court would later confirm that Steele shared his reports with at least one “senior British security official.””

Auntie completely concurs that vodka & tonic is the correct choice for this summer’s self-medicated set. Add a lemon/lime wedge.

However, the increasing psychosis and expected violence of the approaching elections will require stronger potent potables as it comes slithering to a crescendo and crash: Everclear for the worst of it.

All TPBers should invest in at least a case of the stuff – for medicinal purposes as well as trade.

Oh good God Everclear. Dear God.

I’ll stick with Belvedere and anything. Preferably Belvedere and cran. I like your first recommendation as it suits my tastes (and a clean commode before going to bed).

Tanq and Tonic rule. If you really need anesthesia, “Geneva” is the only choice.

What are the chances that Mr. Biden has some kind of “medical emergency” just prior to the convention?

And Susan Rice or Michelle O show up with acceptance speech in hand?

Or, if the following is true, Ms. Rice is eyebrow deep in the shitstorm brewing,

This article was posted this morning. As discussed last week, something serious seems afoot.

I am actually excited to see the next couple of weeks play out.

May you live in interesting times, indeed!

Ms Rice figures strongly in my expectations of coming Dem strategy. My prediction? Biden names Rice as VP. MSM (as in 2016) pushes Dem ticket as already predetermined by every poll and as America’s instant pass port to Nirvana. Biden dies suddenly (heart attack? Saving a litter of kittens from a burning orphanage?) about 10 days before the election. MSM runs docudrama of “The Passing of American Saint and Legend Good Old Joe!” for 24X7 air time, ending with a tearful Ms Rice looking into the camera the day before the election, calling for Americans to “carry on the hopes and dreams that Saint Biden fought for!” and to vote Democratic.

Crazy? Yep. Evil? Ditto. Possible? You bet!

Of course my preference would be that the whole nest of vipers (including a bunch of RINOs) would all get arrested, convicted, and locked away before November.

If only there was a reliable group of willing rioters and looters to riot on cue. Come for the protest, stay for the freebies. Riots should calm down after schools re-open and teachers won’t have so much idle time.

Riots will calm down after imposition of “looters liable to get shot with live rounds” rule by police or true martial law is declared.

The Old Soldier says this is a crisis pending at any moment so please keep a sober mind the entire time; you need to be constantly on guard; you never know when you will need your head perfectly clear to instantly react in order to survive and lead others, to plan an effective offensive with your own minimal casualties. When we have sent the enemies of America to Hell, then we will celebrate.

Sadly, our typical move is to send the enemies of America to DC, the state capitals, and city halls.

More BS, mostly. There won’t be any indictments. Nobody from either wing of the uniparty has any interest in or patience for truth, the rule of law, accountability or any of the rest of the rah-rah bullshit they sold to us rubes for lo these many decades. A pox on all of them.

Interesting (unoriginal and not new) speculation about the curious case of the Biden candidacy. There is no way to pull it off with a living, demented candidate. Perhaps it is time to kill Joe so someone (Big Mike has always been the “person” that would end up at the top of the ticket in my observation) can succeed him at the top. I just don’t see any negro woman with any sass at all putting up with being official second fiddle to a senile old cracker like Joe Biden. Joe has to go, and go he will. How??

But what do I know??

Bring it. I feel so many normies out here are sick of this and the delays. Time for action and if that means bloodshed to water the tree of liberty well so be it. There is a price to be paid by the treasonous. If it is not paid, the. when the time comes and it will come it will be much worse for many. Good and bad. If many go to jail it may stop or lessen the coming bloodshed. But a day of reckoning is sure to come. One way or another.
