WHAT STATE OF THE UNION?

     So, as we're writing this, our nominal Head-of-State is putting on a show to tell us all how he's saving the world and all of us Americans from ourselves. It's about as exciting as the last Hollywood/Madison Avenue performance on Tuesday. Remember all of those polls that said that Americans want neither Trump nor Biden in 2024? Well, who won their primaries and secured their nominations?

    It's truly astounding how anybody believes that any of this Electoral stuff is any more real or relevant than the Super Bowl or the Academy Awards, but millions watch those too, so there we go. 

    It's really no argument to pretend that because the President-in-Exile got nominated that this somehow going to save the country. Trump was obstructed and sabotaged just as much by his own Party when he was in office (and still has been during his entire campaign). Right now, they've been angling to choose an Establishment/WEF operative for Trump's Vice-Presidential nominee in the unlikely event that he wins in November. That opens up an interesting possibility for the Deep State. They have become so frustrated with the Junta's continual bungling that they allow the President-in-Exile to win: but recall that Trump is now 77 years of age and that accidents can happen to elderly gentlemen. 

   Most likely though, the current Head-of-State will remain in office. Without or without cheating, the Republican Party as a whole is so incompetent and void of any substance that 2024 will in all probability end up as much of a washout as it has been for the last three years. 

   For example, having learned nothing from the resounding defeats of the likes of Larry Elder, Bruce Jenner, Dr. Oz, and Herschel Walker the Republicans are still trying to win key races with celebrity appeal. Neocons can never admit to being wrong about anything; which is why they continually make the same strategic blunders in everything they do. 

     Steve Garvey, a former professional baseball player and current head of a marketing firm won 32% of the vote and finished second in the California Senate race---laughably because his opponent Democrat Adam Schiff funneled money from his own PAC to Garvey's campaign because he saw Garvey as less of a challenge than his closest Democrat rival. That small detail hasn't stopped the Controlled Opposition from coronating Garvey as the next savior of the cause.

   Not to be outdone, a Congressional committee today passed a Bill approving Republicans' long-standing obsession with banning Tik-Tok. I'm certain that this move is really going to win support from younger voters. Tik-Tok currently has around 113,000,000 subscribers in the United States alone, over half of whom are between 18 and 35 years of age. Of course, the real objective here is to force to Chinese owner Byte Dance to sell the app to some Wall Street consortium rather than ban it outright---because, of course, the Tech Lords and Big Media don't already control enough of the American social media market; and because the Conservatives totally oppose Cancel Culture. 

   There seems to be this strange dissonance in the thinking of the Postmodern Right. They all (so they say) oppose 'woke' Corporatism and Globalism generally, but seem to think that giving more power to the Oligarchs is the way to contain them. Their foreign policy positions are a perfect example: they think that securing the entire region from the Black Sea to the Red Sea for international High Finance and the WEF plutocracy will make the world a safer place---evidently because they need control of more oil, more shipping, and more cheap labor to outsource our jobs to than they already have.

   Congress also earlier this week quietly slipped into their so-called 'Budget Deal' a proviso to sell off the entire New England Oil Reserve to their Corporate cronies. House Speaker Mike Johnson is deeply hooked into the Energy Cartels. According to Open Secrets, the largest industry supporting Johnson since his first federal campaign in 2015 is the oil and gas industry, which has infused $338,000 into Johnson’s campaign coffers. Of that amount, $30,000 came from the Koch Industries PAC. Much of that Oil Cartel cash came from WEF Top 100 Strategic Partner, Chevron, which also is a leading contender for the contracts in the Gaza Oil Fields. Not surprisingly, the Zionists are also major donors to Johnson. Let's see who Chevron's top stakeholders are---do we suppose any of them have WEF connections?

    

   But let's all just keep pretending that all of this malarkey about the "most important election of our lifetimes" really is what it claims to be. Let's all keep pretending that voting the Democrats out will change everything; that the Republicans really aren't working in collusion with them for the benefit of the same vested interests. The persistence of these illusions are what the Neocons count on, and it seems to work for them every single time.
