Our 30,000 foot view of the strategy behind the shutdown:
2) The timing of this shutdown, in relation to the Storm and #ReleaseTheMemo is nothing short of brilliant. Here's why:
3) * The Ds just did exactly what the GOP did to them in the 2013 shutdown - which exposes everyone on the left who was against the shutdown then (pols and their media pundits) as hypocrites.
Those are EASY campaign adds to cut for the midterm push.
4) * The fact the Ds chose to die on the DACA hill when there was no need to do so, makes it VERY easy for the GOP to paint them as caring more about ILLEGAL immigrants without citizenship than ACTUAL AMERICANS WITH CITIZENSHIP (this talking point will bludgeon the left in '18).
5) * With the shutdown happening first, it sets the landscape perfectly to #releasethememo , which will bury the left in so much scandal they'll be too busy digging out of that collapsing house of cards to deal with the other two fronts they'll be assaulted on come midterms.
6) * #Releasethememo will (supposedly) bring an end to Mueller's probe, ending the Russian collusion story while also bringing down huge names on the left including (possibly) 44 himself... #ObamaGate
7) *Note, those are EVERY SINGLE talking point/campaign strategy the left was getting ready to use in the midterm push - and now they're nuetered:
-Obama campaigning (tough to do now)
-Russian Collusion (gone)
-Mueller's never ending investigation (ended with 45 vindicated)
8) * This sets the stage for The STOTU in 10 days, and will provide 45 a chance to not only call out all of this (with names and evidence), but also allow him the chance to HEAL what will be a confused and angry nation with a unifying speech - motivating the midterm push.
9)*Add all those points up and you're looking at a bloodbath come midterms. The democratic party will be a smoldering pile of rubble, fractured and exposed.
And the best part of all of this? The Ds did it all to themselves.
Everything. Single. Thing...
10) From casting their lot with the USIC and the soft coup (oops), to picking a fight with the wrong man @GenFlynn (big OOPS), to the decision to push the Russian narrative in the MSM (boomerang coming back their way), to the decision to shutdown the government...
Have much to say about this... and I know not all my readers like or are interested in this subject (and that's cool) but #QAnon just dropped a YUUUGE crumb. This isn't the first crumb that's suggested this, it's not breaking news to many - but it will be for the majority. #MAGA
Translation: #Q team is not only inside the inner circle, they're speaking for POTUS directly.
That is a monumental disclosure, especially considering what has been disclosed in over 2,300 drops (and counting).
That leaves us two options as analysts (or anons):
1) Either #Qanon represents a new kind of (dis)information warfare, deliberately spreading false/sensational information for base partisan reasons at the direction of @realDonaldTrump ...
Contrary to the fears of some followers of this account, I'm alive and actively working. We are 79 days away from the midterm elections, and as such the (dis)information war has entered a new phase... @realDonaldTrump has gone on the offensive.
In response, the media establishment and the conspirators cut-outs with bylines, have produced a cacophony of distractions laced with divide-and-conquer rhetoric in order to retain control of the very expensive (and bogus) narrative they've crafted over the last 24+ months.
Funny how the "BREAKING NEWS" cycle seem to be stuck on a loop, isn't it?
Trump Tower is back in the spotlight, which means we're about 10 days away from the Seychelles meeting being back in the news. Neither story has new developments or information, mind you... but details.
What's that saying about insanity again?
"Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again but expecting different results," ... that about sums up the state of (most) of the MSM/Corporate media these days:
Insane and NOT a friend to those looking for truth.
The only way through this (dis)information war is to hone your own judgement and discernment. Become your own expert. That way you can easily identify these "feedback loops" of long debunked "breaking news" stories for what they are: propaganda from the mouth of a dying beast.
This speech was a big hint: (Second day in office)
Two notes about this...
1. Note at the 4:17 mark and the @GenFlynn shout out at the start and remember what it was Flynn did for a living for decades prior. DIA and CIA have a rivalry. This was a statement by @realDonaldTrump. I called it a "game on" moment previously.
"Despite the strategic mistakes made by Abu Mazen (Abbas) and his people," the Egyptian official said, "Kushner and Greenblatt were told, in no uncertain terms, that the Palestinians deserve an independent Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital."
"Kushner agreed to the Arab nations' demand and made it clear during his meetings with [Jordan's] King Abdullah and [Egyptian] President [Abdel Fattah] el Sisi that the interests of the Palestinian people will not be harmed if the regional peace plan is introduced without ...
