Time on the vast conspiracy to “save” the 2020 election before it even took place
The New Neo ^ | 6 Feb 2021 | Anonymous

This rather curious article in Time (yes, Time still exists) is getting a lot of attention. You might think that the title of this post is fanciful or facetious, but it’s pretty much a summary of the self-congratulatory title of the piece (by Molly Ball): “The Secret History of the Shadow Campaign That Saved the 2020 Election.”

Our rescuers:

There was a conspiracy unfolding behind the scenes, one that both curtailed the protests and coordinated the resistance from CEOs. Both surprises were the result of an informal alliance between left-wing activists and business titans. The pact was formalized in a terse, little-noticed joint statement of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and AFL-CIO published on Election Day. Both sides would come to see it as a sort of implicit bargain–inspired by the summer’s massive, sometimes destructive racial-justice protests–in which the forces of labor came together with the forces of capital to keep the peace and oppose Trump’s assault on democracy.

Left-wing activists and business titans: always looking out for us. As they have been for quite some time. Such a relief to know.

Here’s a good article on PEADS—Presidentil Emergency Action Documents. These, combined with his Executive Order of 9/17 may pave the way for defeating them all.

I am waiting for there to be an announcement of an FBI investigation of collusion between the left wing activists and some industry big wigs and whether the Biden campagin properly identified the poltical contriubutions by these two groups. But Christopher Wray is still the FBI director? Never mind about any FBI investigations.

I don’t think Time would be admitting this (even in this slanted way) if they
didn’t know that some very damaging truths are about to come out. This is
them trying to put their spin on it in advance. Storm coming, I think.

Agree. This is their SOP to get out ahead of breaking news. Now they will say, yeah, we rigged the election, but, hey, we got Orange Man Bad out of the White House, so it was all justified.

You’re right as well as the posting about the Time Magazine article. Conservatives and Trump voters already knew about changing election laws (not by the state legislatures) and the manipulation of social media to limit knowledge of Hunter Biden’s laptop as well as the insistence that there was “no evidence” of election and/or voter fraud. They want to argue that it was done legally and non-partisan but the public knows it wasn’t done constitutionally and was definitely partisan. Another possible reason is that they know republican state legislatures will be under pressure by primary voters to change election laws to eliminate universal mail-in ballots.

This is the first conservative commentator to have actually read the TIME article.

”Some people writing about the article indicate that it’s an admission that the participants gamed the election in various ways to enable Biden’s win. But the article does not admit that. It does something far more devious – it claims that everything this group did was non-partisan, had absolutely nothing to do with wanting Biden elected, and was merely for the noble purpose of guaranteeing a fair election and making sure people didn’t believe Trump’s conspiracy claims which they of course knew would be false even before the election occurred. And to do this, they paradoxically helped to relax the election rules so much that actual fraud and/or claims of fraud would be far more likely, and they did that only for the very noble purpose of stopping the nefarious “voter suppression” the GOP was trying to accomplish. You see, all efforts at voter security can be re-defined as voter suppression, and many courts will buy it.”
