Civil War 2.0: “The Country Is Now Out Of Its Mind”

Authored by James Howard Kunstler via The Daily Reckoning,

America has a new manufactured crisis, ElectionGate, as if all the other troubles piling up like tropical depressions marching across the September seas were not enough.

America needs a constitutional crisis like a hole in the head, and that’s exactly what’s being engineered for the holiday season by the clever folks in the Democratic Party’s Lawfare auxiliary.

Here’s how it works:

  • The complicit newspapers and cable news channels publish polls showing Joe Biden leading in several swing states, even if it’s not true.
  • Facebook and Twitter amplify expectations of a Biden victory.
  • This sets the stage for a furor when it turns out that he loses on election night.
  • On cue, Antifa commences to riot all around the country. Meanwhile, a mighty harvest of mail-in votes pours into election districts utterly unequipped to validate them.
  • Lawfare cadres agitate in the contested states’ legislatures to send rogue elector slates to the electoral college. The dispute ends up in congress, which awaits a seating of newly-elected representatives on January 4, hopefully for Lawfare, mostly Democrats. Whoops…!
  • Turns out, the Dems lost their majority there too. Fighting in the streets ramps up and overwhelms hamstrung police forces in Democratic-run cities.
  • January 20 — Inauguration Day — rolls around, and the Dems ask the military to drag Trump out of the White House “with great dispatch!” as Mr. Biden himself put it so nicely back in the summer.

The U.S. military breaks into two factions. Voilà: Civil War Two.

You didn’t read that here first, of course. It’s been all over the web for weeks, since the Democratic Party-sponsored Transition Integrity Project (cough cough) ran their summer “war game,” intending to demonstrate that any Trump election victory would be evidence of treason and require correction by any means necessary, including sedition, which they’d already tried a few times in an organized way since 2016 (and botched).

The Democrats are crazy enough now to want this. They have driven themselves crazy for years with the death-wish of eradicating western civ (and themselves with it). There are many reasons for this phenomenon, mostly derived from Marxist theories of revolution, but my own explanation departs from that.

The matter was neatly laid out a year ago during the impeachment ploy: After the color revolution in Ukraine, 2014, Mr. Biden was designated not just as “point man” overseeing American interests in that sad-sack country, but specifically as a watchdog against the notorious deep corruption of Ukraine’s entire political ecosystem — as if, you understand, the internal workings of Ukraine’s politics was any of our business in the first place.

The evidence aired publicly last year suggests that Mr. Biden jumped head-first and whole-heartedly into the hog-trough of loose money there, netting his son Hunter and cohorts millions of dollars for no-show jobs on the board of natural gas company, Burisma.

And then, of course, Mr. Biden stupidly bragged on a recorded panel session at the Council on Foreign Relations about threatening to withhold U.S. aid money as a lever to induce Ukraine President Petro Poroshenko to fire a prosecutor looking into Burisma’s sketchy affairs.

Naturally, the Democratic Party impeachment crew accused Mr. Trump of doing exactly what Mr. Biden accomplished a few years earlier.

The impeachment fizzled, but the charges and the odor of the Biden-Burisma scandal lingered without resolution — all the while that Mr. Biden posed as a presidential candidate in the primaries.

This week, the Senate released a report detailing findings of their investigation into the Biden family’s exploits abroad. It didn’t look good.

Also implicated are the State Department officers in the Kiev embassy who pretended not to notice any of this, pointing also to their engagement in further shenanigans around the Trump-Clinton election of 2016 — a lot of that entwined in the Clinton-sponsored RussiaGate scheme.

Of course, the Senate was not so bold as to issue criminal referrals to the Justice Department.

If Mr. Biden actually shows up at this week’s debate, do you suppose that Mr. Trump will fail to bring up the subject?

Does this finally force Mr. Biden’s withdrawal from what has been the most hollow, illusory, and dispirited campaign ever seen at this level in U.S. political history?

All of which is to say that the Democratic Party has other things to worry about, besides who will replace Ruth Bader Ginsburg on the Supreme Court.

That may be hard to believe, but it’s how things are now after four years of implacable, seditious perfidy from the party.

A week ago, all the talk centered around the Democrats’ election coup plan, as publicized stupidly by the so-called Transition Integrity Project. Nice try. What if all those mail-in ballots sent out recently have Joe Biden’s name on them and it turns out that he is no longer a candidate?

Hmmmm…. No doubt the recipients were so eager to fill them in and send them out that there’s no going back on that scam. Apparently, a Biden withdrawal was not one of the scenarios scrimmaged out in the Transition Integrity Project’s “war game.”

What then? A do-over?

Hence, panic in the swamp. Joe Biden’s misadventures, and his pitiful fate, are but the outer rainbands of the brewing storm.

There’s the threat of further and widespread riots, of course, but since when has insurrection proved to be a winning campaign strategy in a country not entirely gone to the dogs?

People who are not insane usually object to their businesses being torched and their homes invaded. At this point, after months of violent antics by criminal nihilists, one can even imagine Multnomah County, Oregon, turning Trumpwise.

The orgy of political hysteria, insane thinking and violence is a psychotic reaction to the collapsing techno-industrial economy — a feature of it, actually.

When all familiar social and economic arrangements are threatened, people go nuts. Interestingly, the craziness actually started in the colleges and universities where ideas (the products of thinking) are supposed to be the stock-in-trade.

The more pressing the practical matters of daily life became, the less intellectuals wanted to face them. So, they desperately generated a force-field of crazy counter-ideas to repel the threat, a curriculum of wishful thinking, childish utopian nostrums and exercises in boundary-smashing.

As all this moved out of the campuses (the graduation function), it infected every other corner of American endeavor, institutions, business, news media, sports, Hollywood, etc.

The country is now out of its mind… echoes of France, 1793… a rhyme, not a reprise.

No matter what the selection outcome is unfortunately things will continue to deteriorate. Too much treason, too many sheep, too many behind the scenes demons lusting for power.

Why didn’t Trump bring up the Ukraine scandal? Was he too undisciplined to have a game plan? Is he so arrogant that he didn’t prepare for the debate?

Trump can’t depend on voters to be informed about all the nuances of politics. And he better stop counting his chickens before they hatch. Or does he know something we can only suppose? Like the winner has already been decided?

Craven, I think Joe surprised Trump by being able to complete back to back sentences without a gaffe. He was unprepared for that possibility.

election? what election? I don’t know who, or even if there will be the alleged political winner that emerges out of this debacle (or really care) but I know who will be the losers. And the real winners are always the same winners… still ‘winning’.

Trump did bring up the Ukraine scandal, to which Biden replied, “That’s a lie! It’s been disproven.” “Disproven by who, Joe?” “Everyone!”

The exchange went something like that.

The dogs of war have been unleashed. Entities posture not knowing facts, it’s just the way to get along. I really don’t know what path our republic will take. It’s beyond our control, when they call in the dogs we will finally know, whether we wish to know is another question!

Was there a point this column?

You’ve got to hand it to the Democrat party, no one creates havoc like they do. ((No one))?

Trump has my vote. Not because he’s the savior. No, it’s because I KNOW Joe and his party are the most egregious.

Blaming it on the Dems again. There is only one party and that party wants wars. Lots of them.

At this point, there is no infamy the Democrats won’t stoop to in order to grab the reins of power. In their madness, the ends justify the means. So if that requires blackening the reputations of innocent people, destroying evidence, doctoring emails, or encouraging violence, or letting cities burn to the ground, they are down for it. They have become unhinged, I believe, by the failure of Mr. Obama to usher in the total dominance they coveted above all else. It was in their hands, they thought, and then it just slipped through their fingers. It’s all made worse because the leaders are old, and have turned into funhouse versions of their younger selves. Even if Biden wins, they know that soon they will be put on ice floes by the AOC wing of the party. In their bitter rage, they are determined to wreck what little is left of what was once a functioning civic order. They will shut down the country, let it burn, pack the courts, or whatever else they feel will do the trick. What do they care? They won’t be around to clean up the mess.

Great run down James, I might add the suspicion, select Dem govenors probably have a significant role in the coming schism. They will be ground zero for the “break” with the “illegitinate”, Trump led USA.
CHAZ was clearly a dry run for this. Defend/elimination of police is another key component. Plans are in place to activate several Autonomuos, Sovereign substrates.
Once accomplished, Trump will be in a very difficult position, as his use of the military is exactly the hoped for event. Use of the US Military will trigger international events, and said Governors/Mayors will demand UN arbitration. With Peacekeepers.
Globalist dream come true.
If it playes like this, Trump (and Americas) best move is the elected county Sherrif and deputies.. Followed by other local LE agencies, hence the months of attack we see now in prep to eliminate.
Again great run down, I have seen the article far and wide.
