Ready for Awan to Schultz to Podesta to Clinton to Soros?
Look out! North Korea! The nuclear battlefield, and Trump has his finger on the button! OH NOES!!!
Right? Wrong. Politics is jazz. Don't just hear the notes... LISTEN to the spaces between the notes. The Russia narrative is dead ("crumbling," to QUOTE the Washington Post). With the Putin bogeyman fading into the background, as if on cue, SUDDENLY! NORTH KOREA APPEARS!
That's because it IS "on cue." The only active battlefield is right here in front of your nose: Your news feed. These headlines are competing for YOUR ATTENTION. And they're scared SHITLESS that you'll wake up and "red pill" and demand action against this very same deep state.
Don't believe me? Last week, President Trump flew to flew to West Virginia to make a 'major announcement.' Turns out it was over the governor switching parties to become a Republican. Big woop, right? BUT, the Deep State was PANICKING, all the same. Within moments of Trump taking the podium, both Reddit and Twitter went down, and the government's automatic censorship algorithms elsewhere on sites like Facebook and Instagram started deleting or freezing new posts all over the social sphere. Why?
Trump has a LOT of blackmail on the deep state, and they are panicked that he could go for their jugular at any time, anywhere, and any place. Where better to do that than West Virginia? Coal country? The most heavily militia'd and militarized MAGA State in the entire Union? Why not choose THAT podium to announce that he has and is releasing Hillary's 33,000 emails? And the rest of the PizzaGate evidence? Or talk about the Awan scandal (the Muslim spy ring that will likely bring down somewhere between 40-80 DNC Congress-people)? And more?
Today, the Washington Post ran with a "breaking" story about a pre-dawn raid that happened in FEBRUARY. The Russia narrative, as I have said, is dead. THIS is why North Korea—which has been on "humanitarian aid" life support from the Deep State for decades—is suddenly news. BOO! LOOK OUT! OH NOES! A MISSILE!!!!
No.
The Deep State's GOAL is sap the energy of any domestic political stories by pushing them "below the fold" and off YOUR newsfeeds. "If it bleeds, it leads," goes the old journalism axiom, and, in the "headline hierarchy," a CRISIS still trumps a SCANDAL, nearly every time. But, this time, there are some scandals up Trump's sleeve that will no "North Korea Has a NUUUUUUKE!!!" headline will be able to nudge from top spot.
And they're coming. Ready for Awan to Schultz to Podesta to Clinton to Soros? Because, HOLD ON TIGHT, errybuddy...
Maybe one Trump just isn't enough. I'd give you a hat, but here's an upvote. Enjoy!
