A major inflection point in the course of history is taking place this week. But it is unlikely that the U.S. election will be decided on Nov. 3. Due to the millions of mail-in ballots floating around the country, and disputes over which should be counted, we can expect days, weeks, or even months of legal challenges to make their way through the courts, possibly even to the Supreme Court. If Trump comes out ahead, as he seems poised to do, the experience gained through the training program of months of BLM protests will be brought out to the streets for direct, and likely violent action. The online censorship regime will intensify, as attempts to make assessments about the outcome of the election will be variously blocked or allowed as determined by ill-defined rules created to establish control over free discussion.
President Donald Trump, who used social media to great effect in 2016 (part of the reason for the crackdown against free discussion on those platforms), is going right past these forms of censorship, by doing incredible direct voter outreach, with four rallies on Saturday, five on Sunday, and five more planned for Monday. His supporters are participating in caravans, boat parades, and marches all over the country.
Trump is opposed by an onslaught from the established institutions — the British establishment, the media, intelligence agencies (for such networks as MSNBC, there these are increasingly equivalent) — because he has the potential to completely change the course of the United States and overturn the trans-Atlantic military-financial paradigm of the past decades.
The coup against him can only be defeated by rooting out, prosecuting, and punishing its perpetrators. By doing so, the door is opened to a broader rejection of the interests of those allies of the British Empire and its outlook: financialization of economies, geopolitical approaches to other nations, anti-human environmentalism, and the view that “another’s gain is my loss.” The optimistic American sense of achieving great things and contributing to the world is the antidote to the pessimistic death-cult of the Green New Deal and the Great Woke-itarian Cultural Revolution.
As we celebrate 20 years of the International Space Station, and its promise of peaceful cooperation on the furthest frontiers of knowledge, we must seek to overcome unnecessary barriers to cooperation, barriers that could result in military conflict rather than cooperation. Two of the greatest barriers are the demonization of China, which reached a new level in the false claims about its culpability for the spread of Covid-19, and the still-continuing refrain of “Russia, Russia, Russia!” Overcoming these barriers requires far-reaching aspirations for scientific discovery and space exploration. And it requires a crushing defeat of the intelligence nexus crafters of Russiagate.
