TIME Claims a Secret Cabal Manipulated the 2020 Election to Stop Trump, and People Have Questions

This seems like the sort of thing you don’t say out loud but, like a serial killer, many in politics are just too absorbed in their own egos to not try to take credit for their deeds.

TIME wrote a very interesting piece making some very alarming claims. Namely, that a secret cabal banded together across the country to stop Donald Trump from winning re-election. This included everything from manipulating media coverage to getting election laws changed, at least according to TIME’s account.

If you had said this out loud on Twitter a few months ago, it would have gotten you banned. https://t.co/hub7XtzKfh

Yeah, this seems like a pretty big deal to me, and nakedly undemocratic, at least if you care about that sort of thing. Politics is inherently manipulative on some level, I suppose, but working to change election laws and quenching the flow of information to affect an election is a bit past your typical bluster on the stump.

Of course, none of this is especially groundbreaking to those who have been paying attention. For all the chatter about “dark money” and “interfering in elections,” it’s always been those on the left (and that includes the “right-wing” Chamber of Commerce mentioned here) who have had a no holds barred approach to winning. Given the control over popular culture, financial institutions, and political influence operations that the left wields, it’s hardly shocking they’d use every lever to defeat Trump.

Yet, the hypocrisy is still a bit much. We dealt with four years of hyperventilating about Russia and Facebook posts from anti-Trump forces, yet the reality of who is truly interfering in our elections hits much closer to home. The actions listed in the TIME article are also far, far more consequential and dangerous to free and fair elections.

I just want to say that it is the opposite of Democracy when a secret cabal of wealthy and politically connected elites conspire to manipulate the rules and laws of an election in order to win

But shit, not like this is a new storyhttps://t.co/RvTT0Kx8IX

No matter, this secret cabal isn’t made up of imaginary Russians so it’s all good. The left truly only care about election interference and manipulation when they deem it a threat to their own preferred outcomes. Otherwise, they are all for it. You won’t see the mainstream media decry this. You won’t see a tearful lament from Nancy Pelosi about the dangers it poses to our republic. Rather, this will all be ignored. Heck, it’ll be celebrated as a brilliant political strategy.

And while I’m sure some fact-checker will have qualms with me describing what this group did as manipulation, I believe the objective definition of that word more than applies here. When you seek to stop people from having information that could affect their vote, that’s manipulation. When you go and lobby to get certain laws changed specifically to help your side, that’s manipulation. It is what it is.

Meanwhile, Republicans can get in the game or get busy losing again.

If you turn in ballots days after the election, it’s “all good”.

They all SAVED AMERICA from a second term of a racist, fascist dictator (Trump) by installing a Totalitarian Regime. We are now ruled by The President Inc.

The python issue will balance itself; for as the amount of available food diminishes, the snakes will end up eating each other or the alligators will eat them.

Darren Beattie on Bannon’s War Room show, speaking to a color revolution thesis.

Revolver News has an in depth article dovetailing with Time article.

Also National Pulse has supporting information.

Lee Smith is bringing up the rear and tying it all together with with his commentary on his latest novel Thirty Tyrants. Elites representing Sparta ruled Athens. Same thing happening now- post election. 40 Executive Orders and counting.

Tablet Magazine mentioned too.

Bannon’s shows are delivering some of the best red pill speakers for these troubling times.

The Time Magazine article is intended to be the Dem’s victory taunt.

My opinion....

Not news to me. Of course it was orchestrated. I wonder how much longer til Time figures out Trump and military intelligence were expecting it and set up a sting operation which is currently about to conclude.

I thought so too.
Reading it was sickening, but it was a remarkable expose’, naming people and their organizations, revealing their tactics, and motives.

I suspect the author had to lace it with “Orange-man Bad” code words to get it past the censors.

A copy of it should be pinned to each of their chests with a dagger (metaphorically speaking, of course).

From Time: "The secret history of the shadow campaign that saved the 2020 election."

Notice how they say that this campaign "saved" the 2020 election. In other words, they approve of illegal changes to election laws and manipulation of media and the use of censorship to influence an election.
