The Kraken was a mythical beast of the ocean, huge beyond compare, like a octopus or a squid, but worse. It was thought to rise out of the dark depths and with its tentacles, take an entire ship and all its sailors down to Davy Jones locker.
I think it was an ancient description.
Nowadays, as used by Sidney Powell, gamers, and others, to “Release the Kraken” is the same as “Open a can of whoop-ass”.
The way Sidney Powell used it, it was not something the left would use against us, it is something that we will use against them, as if we were keeping it captive, and would release it when the Left comes into our sights.
I suppose, to the United States, the Left could be the Kraken, rising out of the mystic dark depths of Leftism, and dragging our liberty down to the bottom of the dark, cold ocean.
I hate the bastards on the Left, but I can’t see them as a feared Kraken instead of a bunch of snot-nosed people who never grew into adulthood and need to get their asses kicked, so I view The Kraken as a captive beast WE will use as a weapon.
Sidney Powell and Co. are misusing the metaphor because she probably doesn’t see the big picture. (See Post #23).
The “Kraken” monster is ACTUALLY the $3+ trillion unconstitutional portion of the federal government. The Left is the sponsor of the “Kraken” monster.
The Right is not the monster. The Left is the monster. It’s a stupid and confusing metaphor. If we’re going to use it, use it right.
