Are we watching a real life Wag The Dog?

Posted on 10/27/2018 7:46:56 AM PDT by detective

I feel like I am watching a version of the movie Wag the Dog.

In the movie it looks like an election in a few weeks is going to be lost.

A massive media campaign about a fake war in Albania is used to sway the public. The public is easily deceived by an orchestrated false narrative and the election is won.

This is almost exactly what is happening today.

The current false narrative is about fake devises that look like crude pipe bombs and are sent to leading Democrats and actor Robert DeNiro. The person identified as the "bomber" is an ex male stripper. He is bankrupt and has been living in his van. He has a history of criminal activities and an extensive arrest record.

Almost on cue the Democrats turn on a dime and stop encouraging violence. They parrot talking points claiming that Trump and his supporters are violent and that Democrats and the media are virtuous victims.

I said from day one, it will be a lone nutcase.

Same here, just wasn't sure if it would be hard left or hard right loon. Sometimes the coin lands on tails

Is the media milking it for all it’s worth? Yup.

Absolutely, anything to give a zinger to Trump.

Any details released would be done in a way to goad the suspect into revealing himself, and maybe that is just what they did, but this guy might as well had a red neon sign and search lights on top of the MAGA Mobile declaring “I DONE IT!!”

Everything about this loon was about 'Pay Attention To Me!' for decades. He's got the attention now.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

the casting director came up with the perfect prototype deplorable for this drama.

MSM is even parroting the line: “just look at
his van. what else do you need to know about him”.

" I would like at this moment to announce that I will be fired from this program in two weeks' time because of poor ratings. Since this show is the only thing I had going for me in my life, I've decided to kill myself. I'm going to blow my brains out right on this program a week from today. So tune in next Tuesday. That should give the public relations people a week to promote the show. You ought to get a hell of a rating out of that. 50 share, easy."

That movie really opened my eyes. The fact that it came out during the Clinton years cemented it.

Now, what would make one think that?

Oh never mind, I thought Chayefsky was from Eastern Europe, but he was born in New York.

After sending bombs to Democrats across the country, the best way to avoid arrest, is live in a van plastered with Trump stickers. He could have a least took those down to be a little bit less of a suspect. But that would actually require free thought.

Actually, if you know who you were dealing with, it all makes perfect sense lol. In a conspiratorial kind of way.

Seeing as how the Nation’s success or failure rides in the balance of this election, two thoughts come to mind:

Whatever It Takes

and

Just Win, BABY
