Here’s Why There Will Be No ‘October Surprise’
Red State ^ | 09/13/2020 | Jeff Charles

Posted on 09/13/2020 8:15:34 PM PDT by SeekAndFind

It’s September and election day is exactly 53 days away. President Trump, who is seeking re-election, and former Vice President Joe Biden, who is attempting to unseat him, are locked in a dead heat in the polls as they battle it out for the nation’s support.

Trump is up against not only Biden and his running mate, Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA), but he is also fighting a media apparatus that has been intent on destroying since he took office. The former vice president is attempting to make himself look more appealing to the American public despite his questionable record and apparent cognitive issues.

As the election season nears its conclusion, there seems to be only one major event that typically occurs around this time that many might expect to influence the outcome of the race. Yes, we are talking about the infamous “October Surprise.”

You know what this is, right? This political phenomenon typically takes the form of a tawdry, lascivious, or otherwise controversial revelation that is designed to cause irreversible damage to one of the candidates. In 2016, we saw this when the corporate media released the Access Hollywood tape in which then-candidate Trump was heard making lewd comments about women.

This tape was supposed to be a shocking discovery and surely not something the press had been sitting on for months and waiting to reveal at an opportune time. In this case, it didn’t work because Hillary Clinton was such a horrific candidate that not even this piece of new information could propel her to victory.

Yesterday, I asked my followers on Twitter what they thought the October surprise would be in the Trump v. Biden election. There were quite a few theories ranging from a mass shooting, to the release of the Russian pee tape, and even the leader of Antifa being revealed as none other than yours truly.

Each of these theories were quite interesting, except perhaps the notion that I’m the leader of Antifa. I am a patient man, but I can only handle a group of insufferable white progressives children for so long, folks. But the theory I found most compelling came from my friend and Black Roundtable co-host James Cheef:

 

No different than the June, July, August, and September surprises.

— JamesCheef (@JamesCheef) September 12, 2020

 

Anyone who has been following politics for awhile knows that 2020 is an election year that stands on its own. This means that the usual rules do not apply. Will the corporate media attempt to unleash another secret political nuclear weapon in the next few weeks?

Of course they will. They’ve gotten desperate. After all, didn’t they just attempt to use an unverified and hotly contested article claiming that Trump made disparaging remarks about fallen World War I vets? You can be certain that leftist journalists have already been assembling a new story, or perhaps series of stories, full of unnamed sources and tawdry allegations against the Trump administration. It will be fresh out of the oven shortly.

But as Cheef stated, it won’t be any different from what they have already been doing all year. Trump’s progressive opponents have already blown their shot, over and over again. From the Russiagate collusion hoax to the impeachment fiasco, they have pulled out all of the stops to smear the president and it hasn’t worked.

Put simply, unless the left manages to unveil actual evidence of an actual scandal the actually impacts the country, their efforts will amount to a whole lot of noise that is ultimately devoid of meaning. Like The Boy Who Cried Wolf, the will not be taken seriously except by those who already want to buy what the corporate media is selling.

Of course, this does not automatically mean that Trump’s re-election is in the bag. It simply means that there is likely no October Surprise that has any chance of sinking his chances of victory.

Yes but what about COVID-20?

While not directly aimed at Trump, a new and more powerful pathogen could appear to wreak havoc. I hope our intel services are all over this. You know it’s more than slightly possible.

The impending ululations of the press will fall on deaf ears.

I expect a mass casualty event in October, with the perpetrator(s) identified as involved with the Trump campaign.

They (msn) are not coordinating, they are being fed as always. Then they puke it up. Then the dogs that watch the MSN, eat it back up. Then they, in turn puke it up onto their friends who now know better then to eat it.

That is the October surprise. No one believes the puke anymore. Fake news.

Kevin Freeman's book Secret Weapon is an interesting read on that.

I wouldn’t be surprised, if a rich Democrat donor is having someone brainwashed, trained like an animal and maybe even drugged to commit another horrible mass murder. Some of the previous incidents were extremely suspicious in some ways.

Rest assured it’s God’s outcome that will happen! If God wants Trump great if God wants to allow evil to regain the presidency to have citizens suffer and more turn to Him great, but not so great for the rest of us that happen to be living through it.

The real “October Surprises” will be those from Trump and company.

I can see:
* Many indictments of the FBI/DOJ/NSA/DNI/DofState, etc. DEEP STATE for their federal crimes against the President, his presidential campaign, for fake whistleblowers, tampering with federal documents (FISA case), lying to Congress and courts, etc.

* Indictments of Hunter Biden and his father Slow Joe for the Burisma and Red Chinese and possibly Latvian money scandals.

* Something really juicy on Kameltoe Harris re the way she worked her way up the political poiles in California (paid to play and vice versa).

* Possible indictments of Soros-paid Dem DAs and related legal/political hacks for accepting laundered illegal money from Soros, Steyer, Phillips, and Perkins Coie law firm.

* Arrests in the Weissmann and company for “clearing” their govt-owned cell phones, etc. of GOVERNMENT OWNED INFORMATION.

* Reports from prosecutors Huber and Jensen re their areas of investigations.

* Indictments of some journalists for how they got classified govt documents (sleeping with govt officials, requesting them, illegally being shown them and not reporting that to officials).

* Indictments for a lot of Hillary and company crimes from their Foundation frauds to getting paid for things they would not have been legally entitled to.

* Someone releases John Kerry’s military DD214 along with surveillance tapes of his illegal visits to the No. Vietnamese/PRG offices in Paris.

* The Epstein case involved release documents and pictures of Bill Clinton, John Podesta, etc involved in sex with underaged females and males.

* Lt. Gov. Fairfax (D-VA) is officially charged with two counts of rape and Gov. Northam (aka Dr. Mengele) loses his license to practice medicine due to his advocacy and possibly practice of killing just born babies in violation of his medical oath.

* Indictments come down on AOC, Omar, Tlaib etc for illegally taking foreign terrorist groups/supporters money re their election campaigns. (Hamas, Hezbollah, Al Fatah, Iran).

October could turn out to be a very busy month for juries, prosecutors, the honest media, and the FBI.

WOW you really are optimistic aren’t you!! I have given up ALL HOPE of any of these tyrants ever seeing justice!! The tentacles of corruption in our government have become so overwhelming I don’t believe it can be corrected!! The ONLY way it can be corrected is to transfer entire departments of government across the country divide and conquer!! If the bastards don’t want to transfer they can quit SHRINK the BEAST!!

I’m an optimist because I’ve been inside of conspiracies and seen where law enforcement has been great and where it/congressional committees have failed to do a good job.

By having Barr as AG and picking his own men, he has shut-out the Deep State of Strzok, McCabe, Weissmann, etc., as well as leftover Obamites in prosecutorial positions of power.

Trump has to produce and when would be a better time to start bringing indictments than in mid/late October. SURPRISE!

Hope what I have projected is true. If so, we will have saved our country from the Left. If not, the shit will hit the fan on many fronts.

We must destroy our domestic enemies NOW before the election and continue on to Jan. 20th 2021 and beyond. I believe in total retribution/annihilation in a war and we are in THE war for our existential survival as a democratic Republic known as the United States of America.

I can believe/imagine because DJT believes in getting people attack you. If these people had any brains, they would have NEVER attacked DJT and his family.

Sooner or later, he’ll get them. I am praying for sooner.
