Not Impossible...
One of the theories I’m hearing of late goes something like this:
Trump, having come through and survived the attack by the deep state—the endless investigations into a crime concocted by the Democrats, a goofy impeachment just because, the media and big tech arraying in opposition, etc.--knew exactly what this election would entail. Because he knew, he issued an executive order in September of 2018 titled “Executive Order on Imposing Certain Sanctions in the Event of Foreign Interference in a United States Election”. The order reads, in part:
“Although there has been no evidence of a foreign power altering the outcome or vote tabulation in any United States election, foreign powers have historically sought to exploit America’s free and open political system. In recent years, the proliferation of digital devices and internet-based communications has created significant vulnerabilities and magnified the scope and intensity of the threat of foreign interference, as illustrated in the 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment. I hereby declare a national emergency to deal with this threat.”
That national emergency continues to this day.
In the EO, the President also states that people and organizations located, in part, outside the United States are known to be able to, “interfere in or undermine public confidence in United States elections, including through the unauthorized accessing of election and campaign infrastructure or the covert distribution of propaganda and disinformation.”
It may have been no mere happenstance that the CEOs of Twitter and FB were called to testify on Tuesday.
The National Emergency order specifically calls for seizure of all assets of entities that have, “directly or indirectly engaged in, sponsored, concealed, or otherwise been complicit in foreign interference in a United States election.”
Dominion, Scytl, FB, Twitter, CNN, George Soros, etc., etc.
So, the theory is that Trump knew this would happen and prepared for the eventuality in order to corral and capture the entire deep state in one fell swoop. It’s a beautiful idea. It might even be the case.
However, to get there one must assume that the deep state did not prepare themselves and will not fight back. Who believes that is true? Hands?
The effort being made, now, by Democrats, the media, FB, Twitter, and the talking heads of cable to paint anyone who questions the election as tin-foil hat wearing Neanderthals is no accident, either. There is blood in the water.
How this ends is anyone’s guess. As I’ve often said in the past, there seems to be no future in betting against Trump, and I certainly wouldn’t like to find myself in Sidney Powell’s crosshairs, but the reach and power of the kleptocracy is impossible to overestimate. Whatever the result, Trump remains President at the very least until January 20, 2021. Much can happen.
It’s worth thinking about. Suppose, just suppose for a moment, that Trump’s intention was not only to prevail in this election, but to pull the entire thing down and, to borrow a phrase, “fundamentally transform the nation” and the way things are done? What would that look like?
Might it not look very much like what we see today?
