Behind the Scenes in Swamptopia

Guest Post by Jim Kunstler

Apart from the soporific side-effects of eating all that leftover turkey for three more days after Thursday’s celebration of gluttony, this holiday weekend was, news-wise, as still as the mummy’s tomb, or, rather, Joe Biden’s basement. Yet these post-election days are gravid with portent. The major newspapers and cable news platforms report nothing beyond their heartwarming narrative of Biden risin’ with Woke times a’comin’— but the casual observer senses powerful intrigues swirling backstage in Swamptopia. Something tells me the scene is about to liven up this week, even explode.

There is the matter of the Kraken. Perhaps Sidney Powell was not speaking just figuratively about the lurking monster of the deep. The Kraken, apparently, is an actual computer system developed by the Department of Defense (DOD) to ferret out malevolent computer programs as might be deployed in cyber-warfare… or janky elections. Miz Powell has had legal consort all year with General Mike Flynn, the former chief of the Defense Intelligence Agency railroaded on a fake charge by the FBI, now pardoned, free to speak and act. Do you suppose that Gen. Flynn does not know about the agency’s cyber-warfare capabilities? Or that he does not know skilled military technicians who can spell out, say, in a court of law, exactly how the Kraken might be put to use? Or how the Kraken intersects with the two CIA proprietary election hacking programs, Hammer and Scorecard?

Next, there is the matter of where these agencies stand with each other these days. It was not for nothing that the president sacked cheeky Sec’y of Defense Mark Esper and replaced him with Christopher Miller, a Special Forces warrior, lately, as Deputy Assistant Sec-Def, in charge of counterterrorism, Military Information Support Operations (MISO), Information Operations, unconventional warfare, irregular warfare, direct action, special reconnaissance, foreign internal defense, counter proliferation, sensitive special operations.

Kind of sounds a little bit like exactly the skill-set you’d need to battle the rogue “resistance” operations across several US government agencies in their four-year quest to overthrow the chief executive climaxing in this election caper — for one example, the CIA. Somehow, when I think of the CIA, I think of the sinister John Brennan, architect of RussiaGate and probably also somehow behind the activation of his protégé, “whistleblower” (and CIA agent) Eric Ciaramella, the impeachment mole who was allowed to retreat back into the CIA fortress with no consequences after his seditious deed was done. Notice, Mr. Brennan has been tweeting like mad in recent days denouncing election skeptics. Is he worried about something? All of which raises the questions: what role did the agency play in the election, with its mystifying vote-tallying irregularities?  Does Mr. Brennan still wield influence in the CIA? And is the agency an enemy of the people?

Then, what do you suppose really went down at the computer server farm in Frankfurt, Germany, after the election. Chatter on the web has it that the Frankfurt asset was a CIA installation, and that some kind of Army Special Forces unit bum-rushed the joint after November 3, and took possession of computer servers that were used to receive vote tabulations from Dominion machines back in the USA. There’s even rumor of some people getting hurt in the operation (unconfirmed). Do those servers hold actual evidence of vote-tampering? That would be my guess. Perhaps we’ll find out this week.

And if it were the case that the CIA and other actors — perhaps even in foreign countries —worked to rig the election to make absolutely sure that Mr. Trump was finally expelled from office, would this not amount to something like treason? Is the US government at war with itself? If so, does the president not have a duty to do something about it? Is he in the process of doing something… that the public is not yet aware of through and beyond the holiday week?  Did Mr. Biden or Kamala Harris know about any of this? Allegations (with actual evidence) emerged in October that Mr. Biden and his family received large sums of money for services rendered from several countries considered not friendly to the USA. Maybe that’s just a sidebar to the election op, but it sure doesn’t look good, considering. A reasonable authority might designate Joe Biden a national security risk. Such a person would not be permitted to take an oath for the highest office in the land.

So, with Thanksgiving behind us, and Christmas a month away (and a very fraught Covid Christmas, at that), and the deadline for the states’ electoral vote certifications and the actual meeting of the electoral collegians looming in between now and then, we might gird our loins for some very weird doings out of Washington, DC. Unless it’s all just a bad dream… a conspiracy theory… a blather of peevish, deplorable nutters who just refuse to bend over and take it good and hard from their betters, as they deserve to. Standing by… just as you are… on developments.

This all begins to read like some poorly written dystopian/espionage novel. What new and bizarre twists will be revealed next? What evil malefactor will reveal him/herself next? What new layers of corruption and graft await the unsuspecting public? Stay tuned as the next installment of Election Fraud and Follies is revealed, followed by stomach churning, mind boggling levels of even greater criminality and deceit.
If possible, take a break and breath deep, sans mask and other Covid constraints, we gonna need our strength in the weeks to come.

It is beginning to read like a Tom Clancy novel, but with the CIA as the bad guy. Lots of story lines and even more characters than you can track, but with protagonist Sidney leading the charge against the bad guys to save the President.

Yep, and every last Tom Clancy novel was ghost-written by military intelligence.

Entertaining distractions, and not much else.

My wife is binge watching the series “24”. From the bits and pieces I have caught of season 2 that she is on right now I would say it was and is sounding a lot like that series.

I watched 24 when it was originally broadcast and wondered how much of it was true. Snowden showed us that a lot of the surveillance state is actually happening and that was quite a few years ago. I’m sure they have much greater capabilities today with the advancements in tracking software and AI

Most likely both. One could only imagine the technics possible, but the path DARPA follows is an old one.

This sentence is from the link below it:

“So don’t panic and fear not. President Trump is in control and the battle lines are drawn.”

Obfuscation….’look over here, as the Lord draws near’….
Both wings of this Hegelian hawk tout salvation awaits in a vaccine, both will lay claim to the throne. It just seems so scripted anymore….tick tock.

Everyday the MSM, which is the conveyor of truth to mainstream America, upholds a usurper to the seat. Real lives have been greatly burdened, if not destroyed. And until the MSM cable news spellcasters are brought to heel, nothing but further division is in store.

The Orange Man still looks like the carrot at the end of the stick to me.

BTW, I read that thread from a few days back. I find your position (two diff. churches) on the Acts reference highly defendable, fwiw.

I always read it as being a lesson in the true nakedness of man before God…nothing hidden… the true thoughts and intentions of the heart were known to Him. Lay everything at His feet….'neither purse, nor scrip, nor shoes', ya know?

Interesting as always sir ordo… I’m of the opinion you are spot on. Might we be seeing infighting between TLPTB? A definite maybe! No loyalty amongst thieves

A third church is referenced in Acts 7:38.

Grace and peace… 😊

The dirty laundry in this country always gets cleaned, pressed and neatly folded away, all magically without ever being put through the washing machine and dryer.
What occurs to this filthy shirt of an election will be more of the same.

No sources that I could find either. I did find some speculation though:

The Democrats do seem a little nervous, even as they announce the election a done deal. Of course, they are dealing with Trump, who has the ability to turn off the crazy when he wants to and then come up with things no one is expecting. He recently made some executive orders constraining China, for example. Of course, Biden can overturn these orders, but if he does, Hunter’s name is bound to come up. Thus, Trump has set the stage for claims that Biden is cozying up to China because of Hunter’s past relations with China.

I’m relatively sure he signed off on the assignation of the head of the Iranian nuclear program. How is that going to effect Biden’s dealing with the mullahs? He could write them an even bigger check this time for their false promises, but not without a lot of opposition even from his own party.

Meanwhile, Biden is busy making more meaningless gestures like appointing an all woman communications team. Uh, who cares? Laughably, his latest attempt to revive the spirit of Camelot fizzled when he broke his foot playing with the family dog. I prefer to believe that he was actually bitten and it was covered up, but that is the conspiracy theorist in me.

There is still the matter of declassification out there. I can see Trump releasing a bunch of materials just before he leaves, as a parting gift meant to take some of the fizzle out of the inauguration bubbly. That is probably what keeps the Brennan types up at night. They know that he knows, and is capable of making their lives very difficult. Stay tuned.

Sloppy Joe’s sore foot is just an excuse for him to disappear back into the “basement” (undisclosed location) in case he has to expatriate to avoid the guillotine. Or a cover story for the same treatment that got Harry Reid his “workout injury” and that old eye patch.

Harry was considered “reformed” enough to get back on stage and do his tricks, because he still had a brain cell or two left to throw around.

I love Kunstler and he is always painting a picture of doom about to befall the bad guys in the swamp. But I feel like a kid in the back seat constantly asking mom and dad: Are we there yet? Just a little bit farther son, we are nearly there.

Yeah right!

When The Harris Administration takes command can we then rename the the whole rotten stinking establishment from “The Swamp” to “The Sewer?”

Accuracy, while utilizing colourful terminology, still means something, yes?

The only intel guys in the military I trust are the boots on the ground with the real-time intel (Apache teams, ODA, CAG, MARSOC, LRRSD etc.) and some of the cyber nerds that got the jail or military choice for hacking. The overwhelming majority of analysts are trained monkeys and that is an insult to monkeys. I certainly hope I am wrong overall though.

Maybe Trump got elected in the first place through fraud, all in the name of saving the Union by trapping all the bastards in their various nefarious acts of treachery and insatiable lust for dominance, sex with girls, and lunches with friends? Now he’s got the goods on them with their vote rigging, theft of trillions of dollars, and plans for reducing the crowds at national parks and Disneyland, as well as introducing whomever is left to pecuniary strangulation.

Yep, the dummies in the Cabinet, in the FBI, in the CIA, in Justice, Homeland, etc. are all being played and many are already on jets heading for Gitmo while being asked some questions when they come out from under the wet towels.

And when all is said and done, Ron and Rand will head up the Senate and House until the new, honest elections have filled the 465 or so seats with reglar Americans (no teachers of any kind except yogis, nor CEOs unless they sell wholesome food). As for the Supreme Court, let the hangings begin for those who prefer Cuomo over Christ. One last thing, use rat-face as a test subject for every new drug that is deemed safe by the FDA. One more last thing, eliminate all licensing so that healers can heal and “quacks” can operate in the open as the market demands. And lastly, repeal the Nineteenth post haste.

“Did Mr. Biden or Kamala Harris know about any of this?”

How could they not. It dawned on me a few days ago. Biden did very little campaigning compared to Trump. Biden’s rallies were virtually empty. Biden’s handlers regularly kept him out of the media. Then the “pièce de résistance”, Biden states on tv the democrats have the largest voter fraud network in place – a Freudian slip I’m sure. But the reason for Biden’s low key attitude was because he obviously knew the fix was in!! He knew no matter what he did or didn’t do he would “win”. They all knew, even Trump et. al, who it appears as the days progress, conducted a sting on our election process and have the evidence.
