This is a companion thread, for easy access purposes, for those working through the thread below, and J.E. Dyer's strategic election articles. Link to article below, and then the numbered paragraphs in screenshots.
2) Studying J.E.'s first article, we learned that there are:
* Main Efforts &
* Supporting Efforts
While a Main Effort cannot be invisible, Supporting Efforts come in both flavors:
* Visible &
* Invisible
Supporting Efforts also may be:
* Key, or
* Not-Key
3) It took a lot of work, but we learned that Trump's current campaign to #StopTheSteal has Not-Key Supporting Efforts in such things as lawsuits whose main purpose is to establish, visibly, how terrible the election fraud really was, regardless of legal outcome.
"Meanwhile, Trump’s assertion that “everything is well under control” should make people laugh, if for different reasons. Those whose cognitive facilities are deranged by him will find the statement mind-blowing.
"Others, who may be on a spectrum of indifference to hero worship as regards Trump personally, recognize that Trump never tweets in vain. When he says something like this, he means it. My ears don’t hear that Trump doesn’t comprehend the gravity of the situation.
"They hear that the situation, while grave, is not chaotically out of control in the way depicted by the media. Trump is countering the media depiction, not trying to talk down reality.
1) A couple of thoughts on the bailout bill, and what it means. First, I am not paying much attention to it for this reason. Since the morning of November 4, there has, for me, been only 1 story, that of the stolen election. When pointed in other directions, I continue to resist.
2) Second, although not following closely at all, I did predict he'd sign it for the following reason. He has been abandoned by the entire power apparatus in DC. They have all doomed him to defeat and are dancing on his political grave. For all I know, they may be right.
3) Third, right? We may be watching the greatest political heist in world history, and we, his supporters, may not be able to #StopTheSteal, as he may not be able to stand for us as @POTUS facing the united power of those who hate us and love The Swamp.
Who remembers Tevye from Fiddler On The Roof? If you've never seen this particular rendition, you have such a treat coming. Tevye is our hero, today!
2) Please don't skip there, but the key section begins around 3:50. Reb Tevye's dream of wealth affords no greater luxury than the freedom to spend 7 hours everyday praying and discussing holy books with the learned men. That would be the sweetest thing of all.
3) How wealthy are we all, who are able to study anything in the entire world's library right here at our fingertips? I put forward that Tevye would trade places with any of us for the power of access to learning. No replacing a synagogue notwithstanding.
I thought to call today's mediation, "The Death Of The News Cycle," but couldn't. It may be ill. One day it may die. But it's power remains vast, and we're going to discuss that first.
2) The purpose of the purpose of the news cycle is obviously to grab and hook strong hold on your attention, on the national and global focus. The term "narrative" is anything but new. Yet it appears to be the true driving force behind the news cycle anymore.
3) There are verbs attached to this thing - being a thing, a narrative is a noun - such as shaping, directing, and ultimately controlling it. I am, as won't surprise you, a control skeptic. I don't believe in it, and wouldn't want it if it did exist. The real narrative is alive.
