Authored by Brandon Smith via Alt-Market.us,
The election of 2020 is perhaps the most bizarre affair in modern American history; not since the post Civil War turmoil of reconstruction and the election of 1876 have we seen the nation divided so completely along ideological lines. Questions of states rights vs. federal power were at the forefront at that time, and the presence of federal troops in the American south was a primary voting concern. The Democrats were the party of the Confederacy, the Republicans were the party of the Union. Though they had lost the war, southerners were finding ways to strike back during the elections.
With the Republican party suffering from corruption allegations and public sentiment shifting against the federal occupation, the Democrats were gaining massive ground and a Democratic sweep was thought to be imminent. However, there were reports of ballot box fraud on BOTH sides of the aisle; in many voting districts the counted number of votes exceeded the number of people (often on the side of Republicans). Republicans sought to challenge poll results in closely contested states to stop the Democrats and former confederates from taking political power, a situation they considered to be a “potential national disaster”.
The election became a stalemate of legal battles and fraud investigations. Ultimately a deal was struck – The Republicans would take the White House and in exchange federal troops would be removed from the South (the Republicans knew that voting fraud on their side would be exposed and that another civil war could erupt in response). Ultimately, the votes did not matter in the case of a contested election; what mattered was which outcome was the most convenient for the stability of the day and the election result was maneuvered to that end.
(Special Note: If you try to learn more about the 1876 election, I recommend searching for articles and books that are more than 5-10 years old. Anything written in the past few years on the subject is rife with spin and disinformation. Just check out this article from Time Magazine and try to swim through the propaganda! The part where they attempt to explain why democrats used to be the party of the confederacy is especially hilarious – basically, the democrats of the past were more like the “racist republicans” of today. The communist penchant for rewriting history is on full display.)
Today, we have a different dynamic and a different priority for the establishment: Which outcome will lead to the biggest disaster, and who will take the blame? In contrast to 1876, I believe that in 2020 the elites are seeking to INCREASE the level of instability, not calm the waters. The mainstream media has launched a massive fear campaign hinting at a contested election and both sides of the aisle are accusing the other of encouraging ballot fraud. I have no doubt that whichever way the election goes, millions of Americans will refuse to accept the results.
To be clear, I don’t really view modern elections from the perspective of “winning” and “losing”. It’s hard for me to say exactly what was going on behind the curtain in 1876, but today I think it is foolish to engage in election analysis without first accepting the reality that the game is rigged. Biden is a full blown globalist and is proud of it; Trump is surrounded by globalists and banking elites in his own cabinet. Regardless of who loses the election, the elites win. The only question I am here to ask is, which candidate serves the globalist agenda most effectively right now?
My original prediction for the 2020 election this past summer was that the White House would go to Donald Trump, but under sharply contested conditions. I predicted Trump’s win in 2016 based on the premise that the establishment needed a conservative scapegoat for the impending collapse of the US economy as we know it along with the civil unrest and calamity this event would inspire. I stated unequivocally on numerous occasions that Trump would preside over America’s rapid decline and that conservative ideals and principles would be blamed by extension.
And behold, in 2020 this is exactly what is happening, with a pandemic and the implosion of the “Everything Bubble” now in full swing and the media placing it all in the lap of Trump and conservatives.
Now, whether or not people believe this tripe is another matter. As it stands, the worst hit states economically are states controlled by leftist politicians that are enforcing draconian lockdown restrictions on the public. States populated predominantly by conservatives are fairing much better overall.
The bottom line is, which outcome serves the establishment narrative? Do the elites need Trump in office longer in order to crash the system completely on his watch? I believe this is the case. Like Clinton, Biden represents one of the worst possible candidates that could have been chosen as a believable opponent for Trump if the intent is to remove Trump from the Oval Office. His odd mental breaks, embarrassing gaffs, his habit of being creepily over-familiar with women and young girls and his exposure to corruption through foreign ties make him a poor contender.
To be sure, democrats and leftists will vote for him anyway out of spite, but I have a hard time seeing him rallying a wide cross section of Americans that would give him an edge. If the establishment wanted to be rid off Trump, they could have chosen better.
But what if I’m wrong and a Biden presidency is forthcoming? What if ballots are rigged to one side, as they were in 1876? What if a contested election leads to an “agreement” in which Trump steps down? What would it mean to have Biden in the White House?
Well, the US system as we know it is going to fall either way, at least in terms of the economy. This is a process that was initiated many years ago, with the impetus of financial bubbles hitting disaster proportions in 2008. Nothing has improved since then; in fact, the central bank bailouts and stimulus measures only INCREASED the likelihood of a collapse event by inflating corporate and national debt levels while simultaneously diminishing the buying power of the dollar. The only difference between Trump and Biden in this regard is how fast the collapse will happen.
With Trump, the crash will most likely happen slower and more methodically as the establishment takes its time building the narrative that conservative ideals, nationalism, sovereignty movements, etc. “caused” the calamity.
They need time to condition the masses to the idea that such philosophies are “inherently selfish” and destructive. Meaning, at least with Trump, we have a little more time to prepare for the inevitable.
With Biden in office the time frame changes completely and the crash must move faster. Why? Because the globalists cannot allow a Biden Administration (and by extension the globalists themselves) to be labeled as the culprits behind the crash. They would have to expedite the downturn in the early months of Biden’s first term so that the media can claim the crisis is an aftereffect of Trump’s presidency.
If Biden does enter the White House in 2021, expect a hard plunge in economic fundamentals almost immediately.
Another factor of a Biden presidency would be the near certainty of federally enforced pandemic lockdowns similar to those now being implemented in countries like France and Germany. Forget about the current state-by-state lockdown orders and nuances; Biden WILL attempt a national lockdown mandate because he is not held back by a need to appeal to a conservative and liberty minded constituency like Trump is. Biden will go for broke, and the economy will take another massive hit as more businesses go into bankruptcy at breakneck speed. And again, this would have to be implemented quickly so that Trump and conservatives can be blamed. They will claim harsh lockdowns “have to be pursued” because conservatives refused to accept them during the early stages of the pandemic.
In light of a Trump “win”, it is obvious that a second term would be used as an invitation for mass demonstrations and riots by extreme leftists, but, this threat doesn’t go away with Biden in office. Actually, the riots may become worse under Biden. The social justice cult will see Biden as a “malleable” and easily controlled political figure who will do anything to appease them. Biden will placate the hard left; not because he fears them, but because he has a role to play in this great Kabuki theater and it serves the interests of the globalist agenda at the moment.
Finally, if the establishment puts Biden in the White House it means they want national gun restrictions or outright confiscation within the first couple years of his term. Biden’s anti-2nd Amendment views are hardly ambiguous. With Trump, the chances of a gun grab are much slimmer (though he has voiced support for Red Flag laws in the past). Under Biden, the gun grab attempt will be swift. This threat along with Level 4 lockdowns on a national level would elicit the only logical response for conservatives – armed rebellion.
I do not think this is what the globalists want at this point in time. I do not think they have the capacity to handle it, and I do not think they would be able to get a majority of law enforcement and the military to go along with such policies. This is why I continue to believe they prefer Trump in office and that they will use economic decline and the “failure” of conservative policies as a false rationale for the “global reset” the elites seem to be so excited about.
Be warned, however, that if Biden ends up in office, this should be treated as a sign that a high speed collapse is on the way.

A collapse of the system will necessitate a large reduction of mouths to feed. Fighting in the streets would accomplish that nicely.
“A Biden Presidency Will Mean A Faster US Collapse”
In that case, shouldn’t we all hope Biden wins?
Suppose you are sentenced to death for some heinous crime you committed (like, not wearing a mask). Which of the following two options would you prefer?
—– Option 1: A loooong, sloooow, painful death.
—– Option 2: A guillotine.
Me? I’m taking Option 2 all day long.
Agreed. With Biden as President, conservatives will start caring about conservative issues again.
Last week you wanted any civil strife to hold off till you’re dead and now you want to speed things up.
You waffle around on issues like an emotional woman.
Your problem is that you have no understanding of either sarcasm or humor. At least MY sarcasm and humor.
I’ll bet you’re one of those who actually believed I was serious about Earth being warmed by its molten core.
I suggest you stop reading my posts.
C.mon, man. I believed that molten core-earth warming, uh, you know the thing.
Is the Earth’s magnetic field really caused by its magnetic field? Discuss.
Discuss? Why? So that my deep scientific knowledge can be buried in 30-40 pages of FF bullshit? No thanks.
But, I’ll give you a hint. It has something to do with all the MAGNETS about stupid shit mommies stick on the refrigerators. Oh, look, Nicky got a “C” in math! Stick it on the fridge. Reminders too … don’t forget daddy’s blowjob tonight. Oh, look, chicken dicks are a quarter cheaper tomorrow at Safeway!
It’s more likely that you can’t keep your lying straight.
You don’t care for me. No problem. You aren’t the first, or last.
But, at least come up with better insults. Ask any of the long timers here if I’ve lied. I’m pretty sure you’d get a unanimous “No”.
Since hardly anyone ever meets anyone else on the internet … the only currency we really have is our own integrity. Why jeopardize that with lying .. and to strangers, to boot? Not my gig.
A national lock down, would be impossible to enforce in the rural enclaves. The only chance of enforcement would be in major urban areas, which would likely erupt into major BLM block parties on the first evening.
Same for a nationwide gun grab, they simple do not have enough armed workers to go an interrogate/confiscate 400 million guns from the 200 million owners. (I lost mine in the same boating accident that sent my gold to the bottom of ocean)
Biden is too corrupt to make it past 1 year, and Harris is just a brown version of Clinton, and everyone with 2 eyes and 2 ears can figure that out.
Nobody wants BLM riots for a future, and that is what the dems represent, hopefully a Trump win will allow him to exercise the insurrection act against the hoodlums, as he is no longer playing the candidate.
It would be a good thing to see the national guard shooting rubber bullets a dindus carrying TV sets and boxes of Nikes, it might discourage this kind of behavior, and make for great bitchute videos.
But the national guard isn’t gonna be used for the dindus…
From Sundance at CTH:
I have written a great deal about “Cold Anger”, beginning in 2015, because -in my opinion- it reconciles and explains a lot of the difficult to define energy behind Donald Trump that most surface pundits just don’t understand.
Cold Anger is an internal sensibility. Not visible.
Here’s my word salad buffet of the difficult to define “Cold Anger”, starting with: Why it exists?
(1) When Americans see that justice is measured, not by due process, but by compulsion…
(2) … When Americans we see that in order to invoke our right to due process, we need to obtain permission from those who rebuke the constitution;….
(3) …”when Americans see that justice is determined by those who leverage authority, not in law, but in politics;…
(4) …”when we see that representatives get power over individual liberty by graft and by scheme, and our representatives don’t protect us against them, but protect them against us;”…
(5) …”when Americans see corruption holding influence and individual liberty so easily dispatched and nullified; at an inherent and internal level we know that our own freedom is also at risk.”
Most Americans can actually still see the bigger picture.
When we carry that sense and then see a President state a very obvious truth that no-one ever dare articulate with brutal honesty:
….”You Have Always Been Loyal to This Nation, Now You Finally Have a President Who is Loyal To You”…
That statement hits home. It hits deep.
Most Americans go quietly about their business trying to do the next best thing for themselves, their family, their friends and their community.
Most Americans just go about living without much discussion; and we don’t try to interfere in the liberty or happiness of others.
But we notice stuff.
We notice the things that are put in front of us that are not fair, even if they are not happening to us. The expectation of fairness is actually very important to us.
Construct unfair systems, and we notice. We don’t say anything, but we notice.
That deep and inherent expectation holds the key to understanding Cold Anger.
It’s a level of anger far deeper and more consequential than expressed rage or visible behavior; that’s why it is a *cold* anger. A longer fuse per se’.
Cold Anger does not need to go to violence. For those who carry it, no conversation is needed when we meet. You cannot poll or measure it; specifically because most who carry it avoid discussion…
And that decision has nothing whatsoever to do with any form of correctness.
We watched the passage of Obamacare at 1:38am on the day before Christmas Eve in 2009. We watched the Senate, then the House attempt passing Amnesty in 2014. We know exactly how it passed, and we know exactly why it passed. We don’t need to stand around talking about it….
We know what lies hidden behind “cloture” and the UniParty schemes.
We watched the 2009 $900+ billion Stimulus Bill being spent each year, every year, for seven consecutive years. Omnibus, Porkulous, QE1, QE2, Bailouts, Crony-Capitalism. We know exactly how this works, and we know exactly why this ruse is maintained.
We don’t need to stand around talking about it…. We’re beyond talking, and far beyond thinking that negotiations over the timing of our demise are even worthwhile.
Cold Anger does not offer, nor request, any terms…
We accept the entire Senate voted to block President Trump’s ability to use recess appointments in 2017, and 2018, 2019, and 2020.
Every.Single.Democrat.And.Republican.
Cold Anger absorbs betrayal silently, often prudently.
We’ve watched the ridiculing of cops, the riots, and the lack of support for laws, or their enforcement. We’ve been absorbing all that. We’ve been exposed to violence upon us by paid operatives of the organized DNC machine.
We know this stuff. The media trying to hide it doesn’t change our level of information.
Cold Anger is not hatred, it is far more purposeful.
We watched in 2012 as the Democrat party thrice denied God during their convention. The doors to evil enterprise opened by official proclamation and request.
Cold Anger takes notice of the liars, even from a great distance – seemingly invisible to the mob.
Cold Anger will still hold open the door for the riot goer. Mannerly.
We’ve watched our borders being intentionally unsecured.
We’ve watched Islamic Terrorists slaughter Americans as our politicians proclaim their uncertainty of motive. We know exactly who they are, and why they are doing it. We do not need to stand around discussing it…. we’re clear-eyed.
Cold Anger evidenced is more severe because it is more strategic, and more purposeful. Eric Cantor’s defeat, Brexit, Donald Trump’s highest vote tally in the history of presidential primaries…. or even President Trump’s 2016 victory might aide your understanding.
Cold Anger does not gloat; it absorbs consistent vilification and ridicule as fuel. This sensibility does not want to exist, it is forced to exist in otherwise unwilling hosts – we also refuse to be destabilized by it.
Illicit trade schemes, employment and the standard of living in Vietnam and Southeast Asia are more important to Wall Street and DC lobbyists, than the financial security of Youngstown Ohio.
We get it. We understand. We didn’t create that reality, we are simply responding to it.
The intelligence apparatus of our nation was weaponized against a presidential candidate by those who controlled the levers of government. Now, with sanctimonious declarations they dismiss accountability.
Deliberate intent and prudence ensures we avoid failure. The course is thoughtful vigilance; it is a strategy devoid of emotion. The media can call us anything they want, it really doesn’t matter…. we’re far beyond the place where labels matter.
Foolishness and betrayal of our nation have served to reveal dangers within our present condition. Misplaced corrective action, regardless of intent, is neither safe nor wise. We know exactly who Donald Trump is, and we also know what he is not.
Donald Trump is exactly what we need at this moment.
He is a necessary, defiant and glorious fighter.
He is our weapon.
Cold Anger is not driven to act in spite of itself; it drives a reckoning.
When the U.S. flags lay gleefully undefended, they do not lay unnoticed. When the stars and stripes are controversial, yet a foreign flag is honored – we are paying attention.
When millionaire football players kneel down rather than honor our fallen soldiers and stand proud of our country, we see that.
When a school community cannot openly pray, it does not mean the prayerful were absent.
When a liar seems to win, it is not without observation.
Many – more than the minority would like to admit – know the difference between science, clocks and political agendas.
Cold Anger perceives deception the way a long-term battered person absorbs blows in the hours prior to a pre-planned exit; with purpose.
A shield, or cry of micro-aggression will provide no benefit, nor quarter. Delicate sensibilities dispatched like a feather in a hurricane.
We are patient, but also purposeful. Pushed far enough, decisions are reached.
This man has faced opposition that would overwhelm any other President. Our chosen President is constantly attacked by those holding a corrupt, conniving and Godless leftist ideology.
It is our job now to stand with him, firm on his behalf.
Donald Trump is an existential threat to the existence of a corrupt DC system we have exposed to his disinfecting sunlight. Donald Trump is the existential threat to every entity who benefits from that corrupt and vile system.
The fundamental construct within decades of their united global efforts to tear at the very fabric of our U.S.A is being eliminated. They too have nothing to lose; their desperation becomes visible within their apoplexy; and they’re damn sure displaying it.
As a result Americans have learned to throw aside the sense of discomfort as we bear witness to the evil we oppose.
Eyes focused on the hatred aimed in our direction. We stand firm amid the solace of our number, and NOW we resolve to the specific task at hand.
Cold Anger cannot, and is not, being polled.
Wow! +1,000,000!!!
I’m not sure I ever read anything that so succinctly memorializes what I personally feel. COLD ANGER …. yeah, that’s EXACTLY what I feel.
THIS SHOULD BE ITS OWN THREAD!
Rise Up, if you want, I can submit this for you.
I can’t tell if you are being serious or not, but if you are, I was hoping it would be posted as it’s own thread. It needs a little formatting, however (just add some line breaks).
It would be only the 2nd time I got a “hat trick” here in 10 years.
Surprised you took the time to read it–it’s lengthy, for sure.
I’m serious. I just submitted it.
Stucky, Did you check for the email?
OOPS!!! 🙂
Just sent you my address.
Authorship belongs to “sundance” on TheConservativeTreeHouse.com .
Yes, I made sure to put that at the top. I’ve never submitted a piece of my own writing to TBP. One time years ago I suggested Admin post an article and he did, and he attributed the referral as a “hat tip to Rise Up”.
Auntie’s “cold anger” can be measured at about 89 Kelvin: staying frosty.
You might have picked 86 Kelvin.
Trump is not “an existential threat to the existence of a corrupt DC system.” Brandon mostly got it right in this article. I disagree with some of his logic, but overall it is a pretty good article, especially the following: “This is why I continue to believe [the globalists/NWO] prefer Trump in office”. Trump is only an existential threat to those who are stuck on the left side of the false left/right paradigm, which does include a portion of the Deep State. But the Deep State is only the enforcement arm of the NWO. The mid and upper levels of the NWO, which ultimately control the Deep State, are where the final decisions are made, and I am almost certain that they want Trump to win next week. The middle hierarchical levels (CFR, Trilateral Commission, Bilderberg Group, etc) and upper hierarchical levels (Freemasons, Rothschilds, etc) are where the final decisions are made.
However they might not want a clean win. They might want a contested outcome, dragging on for weeks or months, before Trump is finally declared the winner. We will see after Tuesday, because the outcome will be whatever they want it to be.
It appears that he is not on the same page as them with The Great Reset.
It’s all that really matters now.
