Civil War Two<\/strong><\/h1>\n

America has a new manufactured crisis, ElectionGate, as if all the other troubles piling up like tropical depressions marching across the September seas were not enough.
\nAmerica needs a constitutional crisis like a hole in the head, and that\u2019s exactly what\u2019s being engineered for the holiday season by the clever folks in the Democratic Party\u2019s Lawfare auxiliary.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s how it works: the complicit newspapers and cable news channels publish polls showing Joe Biden leading in several swing states, even if it\u2019s not true. Facebook and Twitter amplify expectations of a Biden victory. This sets the stage for a furor when it turns out that he loses on election night.<\/p>\n

On cue, Antifa commences to riot all around the country. Meanwhile, a mighty harvest of mail-in votes pours into election districts utterly unequipped to validate them.<\/p>\n

Lawfare cadres agitate in the contested states\u2019 legislatures to send rogue elector slates to the electoral college. The dispute ends up in congress, which awaits a seating of newly-elected representatives on January 4, hopefully for Lawfare, mostly Democrats. Whoops\u2026!<\/p>\n

Turns out, the Dems lost their majority there too. Fighting in the streets ramps up and overwhelms hamstrung police forces in Democratic-run cities. January 20 \u2014 Inauguration Day \u2014 rolls around, and the Dems ask the military to drag Trump out of the White House \u201cwith great dispatch!\u201d as Mr. Biden himself put it so nicely back in the summer.<\/p>\n

The U.S. military breaks into two factions. Voil\u00e0: Civil War Two.<\/p>\n

You didn\u2019t read that here first, of course. It\u2019s been all over the web for weeks, since the Democratic Party-sponsored Transition Integrity Project (cough cough) ran their summer \u201cwar game,\u201d intending to demonstrate that any Trump election victory would be evidence of treason and require correction by any means necessary, including sedition, which they\u2019d already tried a few times in an organized way since 2016 (and botched).<\/p>\n

The Democrats are crazy enough now to want this. They have driven themselves crazy for years with the death-wish of eradicating western civ (and themselves with it). There are many reasons for this phenomenon, mostly derived from Marxist theories of revolution, but my own explanation departs from that.<\/p>\n

The matter was neatly laid out a year ago during the impeachment ploy: After the color revolution in Ukraine, 2014, Mr. Biden was designated not just as \u201cpoint man\u201d overseeing American interests in that sad-sack country, but specifically as a watchdog against the notorious deep corruption of Ukraine\u2019s entire political ecosystem \u2014 as if, you understand, the internal workings of Ukraine\u2019s politics was any of our business in the first place.<\/p>\n

The evidence aired publicly last year suggests that Mr. Biden jumped head-first and whole-heartedly into the hog-trough of loose money there, netting his son Hunter and cohorts millions of dollars for no-show jobs on the board of natural gas company, Burisma.<\/p>\n

And then, of course, Mr. Biden stupidly bragged on a recorded panel session at the Council on Foreign Relations about threatening to withhold U.S. aid money as a lever to induce Ukraine President Petro Poroshenko to fire a prosecutor looking into Burisma\u2019s sketchy affairs.<\/p>\n

Naturally, the Democratic Party impeachment crew accused Mr. Trump of doing exactly what Mr. Biden accomplished a few years earlier.<\/p>\n

The impeachment fizzled, but the charges and the odor of the Biden-Burisma scandal lingered without resolution \u2014 all the while that Mr. Biden posed as a presidential candidate in the primaries.<\/p>\n

This week, the Senate released a report detailing findings of their investigation into the Biden family\u2019s exploits abroad. It didn\u2019t look good.<\/p>\n

Also implicated are the State Department officers in the Kiev embassy who pretended not to notice any of this, pointing also to their engagement in further shenanigans around the Trump-Clinton election of 2016 \u2014 a lot of that entwined in the Clinton-sponsored RussiaGate scheme.<\/p>\n

Of course, the Senate was not so bold as to issue criminal referrals to the Justice Department.<\/p>\n

If Mr. Biden actually shows up at this week\u2019s debate, do you suppose that Mr. Trump will fail to bring up the subject?<\/p>\n

Does this finally force Mr. Biden\u2019s withdrawal from what has been the most hollow, illusory, and dispirited campaign ever seen at this level in U.S. political history?<\/p>\n

All of which is to say that the Democratic Party has other things to worry about, besides who will replace Ruth Bader Ginsburg on the Supreme Court.<\/p>\n

That may be hard to believe, but it\u2019s how things are now after four years of implacable, seditious perfidy from the party.<\/p>\n

A week ago, all the talk centered around the Democrats\u2019 election coup plan, as publicized stupidly by the so-called Transition Integrity Project. Nice try. What if all those mail-in ballots sent out recently have Joe Biden\u2019s name on them and it turns out that he is no longer a candidate?<\/p>\n

Hmmmm\u2026. No doubt the recipients were so eager to fill them in and send them out that there\u2019s no going back on that scam. Apparently, a Biden withdrawal was not one of the scenarios scrimmaged out in the Transition Integrity Project\u2019s \u201cwar game.\u201d<\/p>\n

What then? A do-over?<\/p>\n

Hence, panic in the swamp. Joe Biden\u2019s misadventures, and his pitiful fate, are but the outer rainbands of the brewing storm.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s the threat of further and widespread riots, of course, but since when has insurrection proved to be a winning campaign strategy in a country not entirely gone to the dogs?<\/p>\n

People who are not insane usually object to their businesses being torched and their homes invaded. At this point, after months of violent antics by criminal nihilists, one can even imagine Multnomah County, Oregon, turning Trumpwise.<\/p>\n

The orgy of political hysteria, insane thinking and violence is a psychotic reaction to the collapsing techno-industrial economy \u2014 a feature of it, actually.<\/p>\n

When all familiar social and economic arrangements are threatened, people go nuts. Interestingly, the craziness actually started in the colleges and universities where ideas (the products of thinking) are supposed to be the stock-in-trade.<\/p>\n

The more pressing the practical matters of daily life became, the less intellectuals wanted to face them. So, they desperately generated a force-field of crazy counter-ideas to repel the threat, a curriculum of wishful thinking, childish utopian nostrums and exercises in boundary-smashing.<\/p>\n

As all this moved out of the campuses (the graduation function), it infected every other corner of American endeavor, institutions, business, news media, sports, Hollywood, etc.<\/p>\n

The country is now out of its mind\u2026 echoes of France, 1793\u2026 a rhyme, not a reprise.<\/p>\n
