Throwing Light on the Gas-lighters

Back in August of this year, I remember reading a lot of political narratives which were nothing less than orchestrated gas-lighting projects with a view toward the coming November election.

A great example is this piece in The Daily Beast, where political editor, Sam Stein, tried to make the case in September that if Trump lost the election, his supporters would take to the streets and organise mass, violent protests.

This narrative had its roots in the Fight Back Table, a bunch of left-wing organisations which came together after 2016, then morphed into the Democracy Defense Nerve Centre after COVID-19 became a perceived weapon of controlling the behaviour of voters. 

Stein writes: 

“Over the course of two hours, participants broached the question of what the progressive political ecosystem can functionally do in a series of election scenarios. They began charting out what it would take to stand up a multi-state communications arm to fight disinformation, a training program for nonviolent civil disobedience, and the underpinnings of what one official described as ‘mass public unrest.’ And they pored over a report from the Transition Integrity Project, a bipartisan group formed in 2019, that analyzed various election-season scenarios and made clear the type of ratfuckery, corruption, and chaos that potentially was ahead. 
‘The potential for violent conflict is high.’”

Yet, unlike Black Lives Matter protests, and along with their good pals ANTIFA, thousands of Republican protesters have actually come together in multiple states under the banner of “Stop the Steal”, a name referring to the current election fraud, which keeps getting greater traction since the weird and obvious anomalies which took place on election night — from back-stamped ballots to a “glitch” in voting machines and even dead people voting for Biden. But no violence has taken place, not a shred: no looting, smashing businesses, statue toppling or shooting to kill the other side. Facebook and Twitter censored the ads for all “Stop the Steal” protests.

That ghastly woman, Crooked, AKA Hillary Clinton, advised Biden back in August to:

“Not concede under any circumstances because I think this is going to drag out, and eventually, I do believe he will win if we don’t give an inch and if we are as focused and relentless as the other side is.”

Clinton knew it would “drag out” because she, along with the Democrat party, knew Trump was set for a victory and the only way Democrats could win would be through mail-in ballots and voter fraud on a scale never seen before. She was predicting a predictable response to an out-and-out election steal.

Hence, the Swamp narrative has been consistently preaching how terrible it is for Trump to not concede the election after voter fraud has now been ubiquitously reported. This is pure gas-lighting, an effort to control the narrative and project enough political and media complicity in that narrative so as to safely call “nuts” to anyone who may agree with the President when he declares that the election has been stolen from the people.

Stein claims that a “22-page document—which Brooks summarised in The Washington Post and which was obtained by The Daily Beast—described four simulation exercises: a clear Biden win, a narrow Biden win, a murky result, and a Trump Electoral College win with popular vote loss. Those simulations were played out with 67 prominent public officials and academics role-playing on seven teams: the Trump campaign, the Biden campaign, Republican elected officials, Democratic elected officials, career federal government employees, the media, and the public.”

Stein continues:

“Below the surface, it was even more harrowing. In the simulations, the Trump campaign was ‘consistently more ruthless than Team Biden,’ the authors wrote. The options that Team Trump had to use or misuse included manipulating classified information, selectively releasing ‘classified documents for political purposes, fueling manufactured rumors,’ freezing ‘assets of individuals and groups the president determines to be a threat,’ and restricting ‘internet communications in the name of national security.’

In these absurd “simulations,” President Trump was going to restrict internet communications. Huh?

This is what the Democrats planned to do all along.

We watched the voter suppression be conducted by the ridiculous polling which gave Biden an absolute landslide in their false projections. Then on election night, those of us who went to Twitter to see what the President may have to say about the bloody weird suspended vote counting were confronted with his tweets being censored by Jack Dorsey and his cronies – as they still are now every day in this election’s aftermath. YouTube are busy pulling down video clips of people who credibly claim that voter fraud is in play. 

Judge Jeanine Pirro, of Fox News, who happens to have once been a New York State Judge, had her popular Sunday show “suspended” on the weekend because she had a heated row with Fox Corporate about the President being censored and lied about on the so-called Trump-friendly network which employs her.  Neil Cavuto of Fox News also cut away from Whitehouse Press Secretary, Kayleigh McEnany, when she firmly talked about bringing maximum transparency to all the voter fraud being reported.

There is only one view being censored by the internet and other powerful media right now: that is the president’s, and his supporters’ perspective.

Stein goes on in his September rant: 

“In some simulations, the Trump team succeeded in invoking the Insurrection Act and sending active duty military troops into U.S. cities to ‘restore order,’ ‘protect’ voting places, or confiscate ‘fraudulent’ ballots.” In others, the team ‘had Attorney General Bill Barr order the seizure of mail-in ballots to ensure that vote counting would stop.’”

Stein knows how the system works — and so does this cabal of Leftists who formed a coalition to steal an election. Bill Barr is the Attorney General; if there are serious voter fraud allegations, he must allow them to be investigated under Federal Law. His duty is to the Constitution first, second and last, therefore to the American public. Supreme Court Justice Alito has already ordered Pennsylvania to separate out ballots that came in after 8pm election night, as the law stipulates. Whistleblowers are claiming that they were ordered to back-date ballots which were delivered with no post-mark to read “3rd November 2020.”  If Barr failed to uphold serious investigations into these claims, he would be appallingly negligent in his duty as the country’s top attorney.

Stein, the Democrats, the corrupt, partisan media-machine and Big Tech are conspiring powerfully to pull off a coup to deliver the White House into the hands of Joe Biden — which really means into the hands of the hopeful VP, Kamala Harris. 

If this is an empty conspiracy theory, as many are desperately claiming, then watch to see whether Democrats openly and vociferously welcome sunlight and transparency to scrutinise all the contested votes.  If they don’t, and they certainly haven’t so far, you know it’s not just a theory but an actual conspiracy to steal the 2020 election from President Trump and his 72 million supporters.
