Did The Deep State Postpone The Election?

Yes, I deny that there is a “Deep State”

The shallow state (?) is corrupt enough

The truly evil never do evil deeds in secret.
The Babylonians, The Persians, The Assyrians, The Greeks, The Romans all used terror and brutality as a tool.
Napoleon invented the police state.
The NAZIs told everyone exactly what they were going to do. The Jihad’s tell everyone what they’re going to do.
Stalin didn’t kill 20 million people by sneaking around.
Chairman Mao was proud of the cultural revolution
The Khmer Rouge bragged about the people they killed

There is no power behind the throne because the throne is too jealous of its power. Soros and others may have influence but only because the national governments let them.

The greater the evil the more open it is. History proves that over and over.

So why don't they just have Trump killed like JFK?

Polls have always shown 60-80% of Americans believe JFK was killed by a conspiracy. One of the more recent polls showed nearly 20% of Americans think it was LBJ behind the murder.

Showing how to prove a conspiracy killed JFK

[Does so]

I see what you did there... ;)

[IronJack]

So do I have to add Deep State to the list of shadowy cabals directing human fate? I've already got

The Bilderbergers
The Illuminati
The Creature from Jekyll Island
The Council on Foreign Relations
The Masons
Space Aliens

Both the premise and the source are worthy of ridicule.

I'll leave it to others.

[Psalm 73]

Like this?:

"As a member of the Warren Commission that investigated the...assassination of...John F. Kennedy, Gerald R. Ford...suggested that the panel change its initial description of the bullet wound in Kennedy's back to place it higher up in his body. ...The change...may have been intended to support the...theory that a single bullet struck Kennedy from behind...The Warren Commission relied on it heavily in concluding that Lee Harvey Oswald was Kennedy's lone assassin..."

Who'd a thunk clumsy, goofy Gerry Ford would have been in on something like this?

“I’ve been asking this question for 8 years straight and no one has given me any answer at all, never mind a convincing one.”

And who or what is going to maintain this criminal in office beyond his term? No one has given me any answer at all, never mind a convincing one.

[thoughtomator]

The same people who have been helping him bend us over all this time are still all there.

[Snowybear]

Oh dear God WTF. REALLY?!?!?!

[sergeantdave]

So these “same people” are going to ride out and suppress 150 million people who will refuse to recognize an Obuma 3rd term. Try again.

My statement stands: No one has given me any answer at all, never mind a convincing one.

How ‘bout those Raiders?

[Wallace T.]

There are several implausible assumptions behind the assumption that Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, or Obama could proclaim himself dictator for life. First, the military has been reduced in size to pre-World War II levels. The Navy and Air Force would be pretty much useless in imposing martial law. Army and Marine combat units remain dominated by white men from flyover country and might balk at orders to disarm Southerners, Westerners, and Midwesterners. A considerable portion of military strength is stationed overseas. Second, while the Federal civilian law enforcement agencies have increased in size, they lack a unified command. Additionally, the agencies are often rivals. Third, the vast majority of lawmen fall under local and state jurisdiction. They would be under no obligation to enforce Federal decrees and may be disinclined to do so. They might be willing to put down the occasional, cranky white separatist or "sovereign citizen" who stands out like a sore thumb. However, the local police are paid by local taxpayers and thus are unlikely to bite the hands that feed them.

America may become a dystopian, Stalinist nightmare at some future point. But as of 2016, the powers that be lack the ability to push us immediately to such a point.

Canceling the election - well they can find a justifiable pretext for it.

We’ve been fortunate enough to be democracy for much of our history.

No. The election won't be cancelled. Our Constitution provides for instances of this type.

No, we've not been a Democracy, ever. We are (or were) a Constitutional Republic, and we've not kept it. We are more Oligarchy than anything else.

[Robert DeLong]

Okay, so Congress selects a new President. Stewart Dougherty's argument here is not that Obama will remain in office, it is that the election will be suspended (postponed). This gives them the opportunity to bypass the American people and keep Trump from taking over as President.

Thus the pilfering of America continues unabated.

I for one am not so quick to dismiss this as conspiracy. We actually will not have to wait very long to see if this plays out or not. So I for one will remain neutral for now. If it does come to pass, then we know we are being played (which for me feels like the case). If it doesn't then we know it was the BS you believe it to be.

Don’t put all of your deplorables in one basket.

[who_would_fardels_bear]

No American has taken the red pill in a long, long time.

Cancelling, or even postponing, the election would be the equivalent of taking the red pill.

What is all this nonsense about Obama wanting to remain in office? He hates America. He is no longer respected as President. What he has is cred among a small slice of scumbags who will give him millions to blather on at conferences around the world.

He looks tired. He can't wait to retire and become the next Bill Clinton.

[Albion Wilde]

I believe more likely that Hillary would find a way to slip Kaine into her slot, and some other shmoe or shmoette will be nominated as the new veep.

A complete unknown, a woman, a gay person, or alternatively, a muslim. And then Kaine would be arkancided.

[Big Red Badger]

Honestly,
I see your post and I have to ask,,,

What Are You gonna Do ???

[Theophilus]

America may become a dystopian, Stalinist nightmare at some future point.

I'm in the deplorable camp that believes that a nation that eats is seed corn for 43 years (abortion) is already a dystopian nightmare.

[Mr. Jeeves]

Yes, but even if true the Deep State gains more by maintaining the illusion of a regular and fair election than they would by staging all of this. Better to let Trump win and try to control or undermine him, which - unfortunately - they have a better than even chance of pulling off: “Nice corporation and kids ya got there, Donnie. Be a shame if anything happened to ‘em...”
