    I can’t imagine the US staying in one piece when things get so vicious.

    If it were an isolated case, I would sigh and shrug. But when a group of people are targeted in this way, I think the discomfort and the level of violence and fracture has become too great for any outcome to appease the whole society...



    "Trump supporters in Pennsylvania are reportedly being targeted with threatening letters from radical leftists, warning them that their visible support for the former President could lead to dire consequences.


    Residents with Trump signs in their yards, particularly in Philadelphia, have reported receiving disturbing letters through the U.S. Postal Service, complete with fake Trump campaign letterheads, Post Millenial first reported.

    The threatening letters, which start off as a seemingly benign “thank you” note for being engaged in the electoral process, quickly devolve into dark, ominous threats.

    One Trump voter, Janet from Penn Valley, shared her harrowing experience to Post Millenial.

    After proudly displaying Trump signs in her yard, she received one of these letters, filled with hateful rhetoric and explicit threats to her family and property.

    The unsettling message was far from an isolated incident. Janet, who reported the matter to the Lower Merion Police, revealed that other Trump supporters in her area had received similar letters.
    Excellent post. A few additional observations. The phenomenon you describe is exactly why a true poll would show Trump winning the election in a landslide. The rhetoric and shame of being a Trump supporter is so intense, a large percentage of voters, for a host of reasons and in virtually every context, cannot admit they are voting Trump, even to a pollster over the telephone. But when in the voting booth, with the curtain closed, the majority those who have managed to protect their minds will pull the lever for Trump.

    However, the phenomena you describe has also produced casualties en masse to such a degree it has become a driving force of culture. A huge swath of the population has literally lost their minds. They are so rabidly in opposition, as the letter illustrates, the term Trump Derangement Syndrome doesn't do justice to the social pathology afoot. Simply put (and this point cannot be understated or dismissed as hyperbole), there is widespread mental illness currently afflicting culture to such degree that social instructions are breaking down and becoming dysfunctional, including the very institutions that govern law and justice. This is not an organic or accidental occurrence. This is a coordinated attack and systematic attempt to dismantle America. The weapons employed are psychological. They are waged against the minds of people (and in a broader sense against humanity en masse) to inculcate a psychological stand down to America's conquerors, and they are literally producing mental illness en masse. ,

    An addict to heroin will do anything to get his fix. But even the most pernicious cases of mental illnesses are limited in scope and checked by the sanity of society. But when millions upon millions of people are driven by a common mental illness, the social order itself begins to collapse. People will do anything in their districts and cities and bureaucratic positions of leverage to get their fix, or at the very least, become sympathetic to a breakaway from values that hold civilization together, e.g. the rule of law, upholding constitutional human rights and freedoms, etc. This breakaway is no longer just a phenomena of corruption in government. It is widespread mental illness afflicting every power center of society.

    This is why, IMHO, a very probable outcome of this election will result the coronation of POTUS Harris, despite the fact that Trump will win the true vote in a landslide (possibly even a 50 state landslide). The technology required to tally the vote need be no more sophisticated than an abacus; electronic voting software is designed for one reason, and one reason only. To manipulate the vote count. Everybody surely understands this at some visceral level--yet our elections are still executed via electronic voting. They are administered on the blind trust of not only the honesty but also the sanity of those proctoring the software. But at present there are no reasonable safeguards against an unethical count when employing electronic voting machines and those who would do whatever is necessary to fashion a result are enabled by millions and millions of mentally ill people programmed to condone a rigged election.

    If I'm wrong about this and the Trump vote is somehow strong enough to overcome the algorithms, the psychological impact on society cannot be understated. The psychological aftermath of a Trump victory will create a crisis the likes of which America has never seen. Crime and violence will go up, families will break apart, marriages will split. Alcoholism and addiction will increase. Those with resources will seek therapy in attempt to repair their psyches. And this is just the tip of iceberg.

    The most likely result may be the worst of all. The people and institutions and various authorities that adjudicate disputes will likely not be able or willing to reach a consensus regarding the result of this election. And we all understand where irreconcilable differences of the body politic lead to at the end of the road.

    How this all plays out is anybody's guess. But until there is a remedy to the mental illness plaguing society, I certainly don't see this ending well.

    'In a recent podcast "Maintaining with Tyrus", Donald Trump revealed a side of his life that most people don't get to see: Donald Trump, the family man. In this rare look at Trump's personal life, Tyrus explored his nature of goodwill and Trump explained why he doesn't seek praise for his acts of kindness, as many other politicians do. Enjoy this classy, heartfelt and unique take on who Donald Trump really is, and why he cares deeply about America's future.'

    @WarClandestine

    I frequently see many in the pro-Trump media space, saying not to be too confident, and don’t share polls/markets that show Trump winning, because it will make voters complacent and not show up to vote, etc.

    I think it’s the exact opposite.

    Victory is contagious. People are much more willing to take part in the game, if they think they are going to win.

    People commonly repeat “act like we are 10 points down”. How does that motivate the fence-sitters to go to the polls? This will make people feel defeated. People want to feel like their vote matters. Like they are a part of something significant. People want to win.

    If anything, I’d say this recent surge in Trump popularity and positivity is creating MORE Trump voters, because the stigma around Trump is dying. People are not afraid to openly support Trump anymore. The movement is infectious. Our confidence and vibes draw people towards us, and humans are naturally inclined to default towards the group. Liking Trump is cool now.

    Spreading positivity does not make us complacent. I think it creates more voters, by making us look more appealing to the undecideds, and motivating the disgruntled non-voters who feel like their vote does not matter. We give them hope that this time, things could be different.

    I don’t care what anyone says. Trump is winning, and if you want to be part of history, you will join us and vote Trump.

    I really think it's more likely than not that Kamala will be installed as POTUS.

    I pretty much think pandora's box has been opened and things are so far gone it really doesn't matter. The demonic psychopaths basically have this country in a very near checkmate situation.

    If Kamala is installed the destruction of the republic will escalate at a phenomenal rate and chaos will only grow as the country continues to fracture apart.

    And if Trump wins???????? Well, I'm not so sure anymore that if Trump wins that he can slow down the destruction of the republic at all anymore. Especially considering if he wins most cities in the country will likely be on fire and several hundred thousand of illegal immigrant fighters will be turned loose on us, etc etc etc.

    I'm honestly not very optomistic or have much hope right now, I see the writing on the wall....

    I think it's both .

    Some of us, sometimes, will notice when we must push forward into less chartered territory ... perhaps to pursue some not yet fully realized benefit, perhaps to defend from an inadequately recognized risk. The "benefit" or "risk" might be individual or might be on a broader scope.

    Others of us, often times the same beings at above, at other times, will notice when there is a surge of "winning" energy and join and encourage that surge.

    In the first case above, the mantra is "Don't get cocky." In the second case above, the mantra is "We're winning, big time!"

    Right now, when speaking to Americans regarding the US Presidential Election, either case might apply, depending on the mood of the intended audience of one's prognostications.

    This, just landed seconds ago in my inbox from Jon Rappaport:

    Breaking: Major National Cybersecurity Exercise on Election Day; What???

    Source: Jon Rappaport on Substack
    Background: “AFCEA [Armed Forces Communications & Electronics Association International] Atlanta [Chapter] Homeland Security Conference on Critical Infrastructure, November 6-7, 2024, with a large scale cybersecurity exercise on November 5, 2024” (link in footnote)

    —On Nov. 5, ELECTION DAY, there will be a special cybersecurity exercise at the Conference. (link in footnote)

    Get this. The exercise is described as a large-scale interactive event, with participants from federal, state, county, city government agencies, academia, and industry.

    The exercise will simulate a cyber-attack on “critical infrastructure.”

    That’s right. It’s a so-called “Jack Voltaic”-type exercise, which was developed to test responses to attacks on large infrastructures.

    QUITE odd to schedule the exercise on Election Day.

    QUITE odd to run an exercise simulating a cyber-attack on critical infrastructure ON ELECTION DAY, especially since electronic voting across the nation IS a piece of critical infrastructure.

    IF bad actors were looking to mess with electronic voting, this exercise would create a reasonable cover and method.

    If the actors wanted to rig electronic voting and needed an excuse to explain “anomalies” in the vote count, or to explain a sudden shut-down of key voting precincts, the cyber-exercise would provide those explanations.

    “Well, you see, there was a temporary glitch owing to the fact that, parallel to Election Day voting, Homeland Security was running a crucial but unrelated cyber-exercise, and ‘wires were crossed,’ so to speak…”

    “Nothing to see here, the problem was fixed, and the exercise proceeded, as did the vote count. Occasionally, these things happen. Homeland Security assures us that voting was not impeded…”

    “Of course, some people are spreading rumors and conspiracy theories about ‘altered vote counts’. These accusations are entirely unfounded. The Homeland Security exercise had nothing to do with the vote count…”

    “Accusations of vote rigging are very serious. They could be, in some cases, considered a form of election interference (if we, the government, want to shut people up and shut them down and obscure what we’re really doing)…”

    —But again, scheduling a major Homeland Security cyber-exercise simulating an attack on critical infrastructure? ON ELECTION DAY? Really?

    At the very least, it’s a great way for government to get people to distrust government.

    CODA: You might be interested in reading the Wikipedia entry for the group, AFCEA, which is sponsoring the upcoming November Conference and the cyber-security exercise. It reads in part:

    “Armed Forces Communications & Electronics Association International (AFCEA), established in 1946, is a nonprofit membership association serving the military, government, industry, and academia as a forum for advancing professional knowledge and relationships in the fields of communications, information technology, intelligence and global security. AFCEA provides a forum for military, government, academic and industry communities with altogether more than 30,000 members. AFCEA supports local chapters, sponsors events, publishes a magazine, promotes STEM education and provides member benefits.

    “SIGNAL, not to be confused with the German Signal magazine, is a monthly [AFCEA] international news magazine targeting government, military and industry professionals active in the information technology and intelligence fields. The magazine was started in 1946. Among the topics covered in the magazine are command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (C4ISR); information security; cybersecurity; research and development; artificial intelligence, machine learning, big data, cloud technologies, electronics; and homeland security.”

    Like usual DJT does it bigger & better than than the rest, in this instance CIC Trump has just done a better job at the drive threw than Kamala could ever hope to.

    I don't think she'll be getting that gig at Macca's in 2025 after all.

    Well there's always welfare, food stamps & discount coupons, good luck with that Kamala.

    If you’re wondering why Eminem is promoting Kamala and has been an avid hater of Trump for years, it has nothing to do with policy.

    It’s because Eminem is linked to Diddy/Epstein associate, Rachel Chandler.

    There’s some skeletons in the closet he doesn’t want to get out.

    @WarClandestine
    Elon just accused Eminem of being a “Diddy party participant” 👀

    Eminem is not coming out in support of Kamala because he likes politics. He has been summoned, because he is compromised and controlled.

    The same can be said for many other loud Kamala-supporting celebrities.

    What they'll try to pull off in 2024:
    ... and add to that the increase in the number of people looking for election fraud.

    For each election official, sheriff, prosecutor, and so forth actively looking for fraud in Nov 2020, there must be dozens if not hundreds looking for it now.

    Trump meets with Latino leaders after new poll shows him 11 points ahead of Harris in key voting bloc

    Former President Trump held a roundtable with Latino leaders in Miami on Tuesday, hours after a new poll showed him leading Vice President Harris in the key voting bloc by 11 points.

    The former president held the event at Trump National Doral Miami, where he was joined by Latino leaders like Florida GOP Reps. Maria Salazar and Carlos Gimenez, Miami Mayor Francis Suarez, Florida Sen. Rick Scott and Hialeah Mayor Esteban Bovo.

    Source and full story: https://www.foxnews.com/politics/tru...ey-voting-bloc


    It was fairly obvious that the legal Latino voters would rally behind Republicans and especially Trump, after all, they are for the most part, religious, against abortion and small business-minded. A Trump win would open up a colossal Pandora's box of unintended consequences for the Democrat Party.

    I believe that the Democrats thought Biden would hold up for 8 years and during his second term they would legalize the ability for non-citizens to vote. This is still a possibility under Harris but a Trump win would slam this door closed.

    My largest fear about the 2024 election is that the Democrats will commit election fraud on a large scale to actually change the results of the election. There is a good chance that the election could come down to the state of Pennsylvania. They have already stated that they will not have the outcome calculated on election day. This opens up the entire process of election fraud. As most people know even if election fraud is fairly obvious courts are extremely reluctant to take on fraud cases because they do not want to be the sole source of declaring and determining election results.

    The British non-profit organization hosted a private meeting with liberal groups opposing Musk’s free speech platform, including representatives from the Biden White House, Rep. Adam Schiff’s office, the Biden-Harris State Department, and Media Matters for America.

    Election Exclusive: British Advisors to Kamala Harris Hope to "Kill Musk's Twitter"

    By Matt Taibi and Paul Thacker
    October 22nd, 2024
    Published on Racket News - Substack

    The British are coming, to meddle in our elections!

    In an explosive leak with ramifications for the upcoming U.S. presidential election, internal documents from the Center for Countering Digital Hate—whose founder is British political operative Morgan McSweeney, now advising the Kamala Harris campaign—show the group plans in writing to “kill Musk’s Twitter” while strengthening ties with the Biden/Harris administration and Democrats like Senator Amy Klobuchar, who has introduced multiple bills to regulate online “misinformation.” Klobuchar’s office declined repeated requests for comment:



    The documents obtained by The DisInformation Chronicle and Racket show CCDH’s hyperfocus on Musk — “Kill Musk’s Twitter” is the first item in the template of its monthly agenda notes dating back to the early months of this year.



    The Center for Countering Digital Hate is the anti-disinformation activist ally of Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s Labour Party, and a messaging vehicle for Labour’s neoliberal think tank, Labour Together. Both the CCDH and Labour Together were founded by Morgan McSweeney, a Svengali credited with piloting Starmer’s rise to Downing Street, much as Karl Rove is credited with guiding George W. Bush to the White House.

    The CCDH documents carry particular importance because McSweeney’s Labour Together operatives have been teaching election strategy to Kamala Harris and Tim Walz, leading Politico to call Labour and the Democrats “sister parties.” CCDH’s focus on “Kill Musk’s Twitter” also adds to legal questions about the nonprofit’s tax-exempt status as a 501(c)(3) organization.

    According to the IRS, CCDH could lose its special tax status if “a substantial part of its activities is attempting to influence legislation.” Yet, CCDH’s third item on its annual priority list is “Trigger EU and UK regulatory action” and the group previously employed the firm Lot Sixteen to lobby congressional offices on “misinformation” in Washington.

    Both The DisInformation Chronicle and Racket have sent multiple, extensive questions to CCDH’s current CEO Imran Ahmed, another British political operative tied to McSweeney’s Labour Together. Despite repeated requests for comment, Ahmed has refused to respond.

    In the last two months, the Washington Post and Politico, among others, have run a series of features about British advisors from Labour Together rescuing the distressed political damsel that is the Harris/Walz campaign. Politico casts McSweeney as the “election mastermind” who first helped Keir Starmer defeat leftist Jeremy Corbyn to become the head of Labour, all the way to Starmer’s “landslide” win over Conservatives to become Prime Minister this past July, implying that McSweeney and his team can perform a similar miracle for Harris.

    McSweeney is an ascendant figure, having just been promoted to Starmer’s Chief of Staff in something of a palace coup after the abrupt resignation of longtime Labour fixture Sue Gray. McSweeney is lionized, not just for a Carville-style rightward tilt within the party, but for mastery of fundraising and dark money, having reportedly pulled a host of new wealthy donors to Labour in the last two years.

    After 25 years of the “special relationship” being essentially “one-way traffic,” with Washington politicos advising the Brits, the Democrats “now believe they actually have something to learn from Labour,” as Politico explained. Democrats will supposedly learn from Labour’s tactical brilliance. For example, Starmer countered former Conservative PM Rishi Sunak’s accusations of being soft on immigration by promising to “smash the criminal boat gangs” bringing migrants across the English channel.

    The new British government also believes that a Harris defeat would leave Starmer “alone” as the “keeper of the center-left flame” and in “worrying isolation” as “the Grand Atlantic Alliance's last hope.” On top of providing election strategy, over 100 “current and former Labour staffers” have begun knocking on doors for Harris this summer, drawing howls from Trump surrogates such as Sebastian Gorka, who called it a “bloody outrage.”

    The Stateside dispatch of Labour personnel has been depicted in British media as a self-interested gambit to keep America’s war machinery closely aligned with Israel and Ukraine, and billions of American defense dollars flowing in both directions.

    However, these are only the visible parts of the British invasion. McSweeney’s Labour Together has been operating in the U.S. for several years through CCDH.

    The Starmer/Labour Together formula for regaining power in the U.K. relied heavily on CCDH’s aggressive efforts to deplatform rivals on the Left and Right by lobbing accusations of bigotry, misinformation, and other misdeeds. As reported in Tablet and Racket, one of CCDH’s successes involved silencing Starmer’s critics on the left by leading a boycott of advertisers for news sites like the left-leaning Canary, on the grounds that its pro-Palestinian takes were anti-Semitic.

    McSweeney has been praised for convincing Starmer that “he needed to sacrifice party unity to demoralize the far-left faction,” as Politico put it.

    In the U.S., a now-defunct CCDH offshoot called Stop Funding Fake News led multiple successful boycotts of media figures across the spectrum, from Zero Hedge during the BLM riots to The Federalist. The formula often involved collaborating with a mainstream media outlet to level an accusation of bigotry, followed by a pressure campaign against advertisers to shut off revenue to the target.

    “CCDH went directly after us and he worked with Google when they briefly suspended all advertising on Zero Hedge, our primary source of revenue then,” recalls Zero Hedge editor Tyler Durden, noting that the boycott came after CCDH worked with NBC on an article depicting them as racist for claiming damage from BLM riots was under-covered. Similar tactics led to demonetization of The Federalist, whose apparent crime was a June 3, 2020 piece called, “The Media Are Lying to You About Everything, Including the Riots.” Like Zero Hedge, The Federalist criticized mainstream coverage of BLM protests, including calling not-yet-fired CNN anchor Don Lemon a “not very bright man.”

    “NBC News colluded with a foreign left-wing group in an attempt to destroy us because it disagrees with our political commentary and media criticism,” The Federalist editor Mollie Hemingway told The Wall Street Journal at the time.

    Meanwhile, CCDH launched a separate campaign against Substack claiming the company profited from vaccine disinformation. It failed, as the firm “essentially told them to **** off” when asked to ban contributors like Alex Berenson and Dr. Joseph Mercola from the platform, as a person with ties to the company put it. Berenson’s crime was the headline, “Vaccines don’t stop Covid hospitalizations or deaths,” an article based on a Journal of the American Medical Association report. “At Substack, we don’t make moderation decisions based on public pressure,” wrote Substack’s then-PR Director Lulu Meservey. CCDH then quietly “backed off.”

    Now, CCDH’s growing Washington office is working on similar plans to “kill” the online presence of Democratic rivals like Musk by attacking X’s advertising revenue, a tactic first perfected in London against The Canary. CCDH is also laying the foundation for broader regulatory changes in the direction of platform censorship.

    “60 meetings on the Hill,” reads one CCDH task assignment from early 2024. “Meeting with 16 congressional offices over the next two weeks to give updates on the Elon lawsuit,” reads another, referring to Musk’s since-dismissed lawsuit against CCDH accusing it of manipulating data to make a case for proliferation of hate speech on X.

    CCDH also held meetings with federal legislators while pushing for “change in USA” toward a censorious proposal it calls the “STAR framework,” which would create an “independent digital regulator” that could “impose consequences for harmful content.” STAR’s core concepts are similar to Europe’s just-instituted Digital Services Act and Britain’s even more stringent Online Safety Act, which puts the national media regulator Ofcom in charge of determining fines for uncooperative platforms.

    The latter law has been the basis for Starmer and Ofcom threatening Musk with “strong action” in the wake of this summer’s riots, which the UK claims were fueled by disinformation.

    That the CCDH is pushing STAR in the US is obvious from its agenda notes. Equally clear however is that the group held those meetings while its senior officials wondered if they were violating lobbying laws. “Question on lobbying — if it is anything that Congress could have a vote on, it counts as lobbying,” reads one note from a January meeting. “Question on lobbying. Imran needs that to be checked, and if necessary register a c4 ASAP,” reads a later note in February.

    The Patriot Voice
    @TPV_John
    .
    @KamalaHarris just had a 3 minute press conference in front of her residence where she DESPERATELY tried to compare @realDonaldTrump to Hitler.

    “So yesterday, we learned that Donald Trump's former chief of staff, John Kelly, a retired 4 star general, confirmed that while Donald Trump was president, he said he wanted generals like Adolf Hitler had.

    In just the past week, Donald Trump has repeatedly called his fellow Americans the enemy from within and even said that he would use the United States military to go after American citizens.

    It is deeply troubling and incredibly dangerous that Donald Trump would invoke Adolf Hitler, the man who is responsible for the deaths of 6,000,000 Jews and 100 of 1000 of Americans. All of this is further evidence for the American people of who Donald Trump really is.”

    ALL of these are vicious, demonizing & FALSE LIES in a PATHETIC last ditch DESPERATE effort to try and swing voters in her direction because early voting looks REALLY BAD FOR HER.


    The Patriot Voice
    @TPV_John

    At the VERY LEAST @KamalaHarris NEEDS to be SUED by @realDonaldTrump
    and his Campaign for Defamation per se, and at WORST Kamala should be ARRESTED IMMEDIATELY by @SecretService for openly inciting VIOLENCE against Trump, and his supporters with grotesque, and disgusting FALSE rhetoric on a National platform.

    That is EXACTLY what the point of this stunt was…

    To incite violence against Trump, in hopes for a third successful as*as*ination attempt prior to Election Day which would then justify DEADLY FORCE from the Military when his supporters rise up.

    THAT IS WHAT THEY WANT.

    This goes FAR BEYOND simple election rhetoric, KAMALA JUST CROSSED A MASSIVE LINE AND MUST BE CALLED OUT.

    SHE KNOWS EXACTLY WHAT SHE IS DOING.

    This is the actions of a TRUE BOLSHEVIK COMMUNIST THUG.

    Kamala wants Trump and his supporters DEAD.

    I cannot stress it enough, and this stunt she just pulled really speaks for itself…I don’t even need to say, should be blatantly obvious.

    Kamala Harris is EXTREMELY DANGEROUS.

    ‘Trump is literally Hitler’.

    Unfortunately for the Dems, this trope has been played out so many times, and nobody is buying this bull**** anymore.

    All I see is panic. This is desperation.

    What’s going on may seem complicated, but it’s really simple.

    Establishment politicians, oligarchs, and bureaucrats, committed treason and crimes against humanity, and now they are doing whatever they can to prevent themselves from being prosecuted for said crimes.

    That’s it.

    Kamala’s CNN Town Hall was an unmitigated disaster.

    Even CNN anchor Jake Tapper admits that Kamala failed to answer any questions and directed everything towards hating Trump.

    And anchor Dana Bash admits Kamala’s performance did not “close the deal”.

    The campaign is lifeless.

    I find it hilarious how the Dems and the MSM coordinated this big October surprise, and the American People are not buying it at all. 😂

    The Dems/MSM have lied so often, and cried wolf so many times, nobody believes them anymore.

    Cooper: “Do you think Donald Trump is a fascist?”

    Harris: “Yes I do.”

    This is all they have at this stage in the game. Buzzwords, unnamed sources, uncorroborated accusations, smear campaigns, and straight up lies.

    The death rattle of a failed campaign.
