It has now been 9 days since the debate & as the open battle within the Ruling Coalition continues, we gain ever more information.

An apparently(?) extragovernmental alliance of the media & Democratic power brokers is trying to take down a sitting president while installing
1/
the new President of their choice - perhaps Kamala & perhaps not - with the American people not having any say in the matter.

What the media is using is an unrelenting campaign of personal destruction, just as one-sided against Biden now, as they were previously
2/
united in covering up the truth about Biden.

They may get him, perhaps this weekend, but there is another possibility, and it would mean a seismic change in how the politics of this country work.
3/
The media has been united in a frothing frenzy of trying to destroy Trump for eight years now - and it hasn't worked, he is more popular than ever. They are united in trying to destroy Musk - and Musk still survives.

In targeting both Biden & Trump👇
4/
for destruction at the same time, the media is doing something unprecedented - it is trying to overrule the voters on both sides of political spectrum simultaneously, essentially declaring itself kingmaker with no public accountability or input.
5/
This raises some fascinating questions as we move to the next level of trying determine what is happening within the fracturing Ruling Coalition

Who, exactly are the media? Is it the people who work there? Is it the billionaires who own them? Is it the govt 3 letter agencies?
6/
Given the power of what the media is taking on, it would seem unlikely that it is just the talking heads & writers by themselves.

If its the billionaires and they lose - look out, some very prominent & wealthy people are going to get crushed.
7/
If it is the govt agencies, the true deep / administrative state, this seems very sloppy and uncoordinated. It would also mean this is the moment of true attempted governmental overthrow, as the last vestiges of rule by the people are stamped out.
8/
If so, then this attempted overthrow is being incompetently executed by a coalition with no one really in charge - which would be par for the course given the buffoons who have been running the GAE for decades.
9/
Can the media really bring down the nominees of the Repub & Dem parties simultaneously, the sitting (illegitimate) President & the prior (legitimate) president?

Who are these people, what is their power source?

Will the Dem voters believe anything the media tells them?
10/
That last question is a fascinating one.

Every time the press as a united pack does a 180 degree turn, they should lose credibility with a good portion of the US population. They certainly have with the Repubs & the center. Will they lose more of the Left?
11/
While taking on Trump & Biden simultaneously is huge, the media has made another very powerful enemy who is betting everything he has on taking them down. Elon is now effectively talking about executing people if need be 👇

Taking Notes On Factional Warfare Within The Ruling Coalition

It has now been a week since the NYT decided to take down Biden, and we're getting some good insights into the factions within the Ruling Coalition.

Biden was purportedly not worried about the media or donors,
1/
but rather, his concern was elected Dems who actually have power, Senators such as Fetterman. In Biden's view, the media and donors are subservient to the politicians.

The media & donors don't seem to view it that way. They seem to think that the politicians are those
2/
who the median and donors choose to put into power.

This is a fascinating fracture of the current power structure.

The media seem determined to make Biden unelectable - which would prove their power. The donors are also trying to show they have the whip hand.

I remember US Vet volunteers in 2022 being shocked by the intensity of the artillery barrages, something they had never experienced in Iraq / Afghanistan.

I get it, US doctrine is air power will have destroyed the artillery - but that assumes victory before the fight begins.
1/
This is an extraordinarily dangerous attitude, and the more commonly accepted it is among US military planners, the more US soldiers could get killed because of it.

A recurring theme in military history is generals coming in confidently prepared to win the last war,
2/
and then being shocked / humiliated when the new war is very different, and the enemy is not doing at all what they were supposed to.

Yes, the US has extraordinary air power - but the Russians have extensive air & ESW defenses. It is a *theory* that the US will be able to

I've received several unauthorized replies that used the forbidden "A" word. A common agreement not to think about or discuss the "A" word is the underpinning of US national security & is critical to the status of the US as a military superpower.

"A" is attrition, of course.
1/
The USA won WWII by decisively outproducing the Axis powers. We were the world's leading industrial power, our industrial heartland was too far away to be attacked, and US factories turned out staggering amounts of tanks, fighters, bombers, and ships.
2/
WWII was of course a war of attrition. The military forces of Germany & Japan were steadily destroyed, they could not replace the manpower or the weapons systems, and the US overwhelmed them with seemingly limitless resupply capability.

This is a good read 👇on what is one of my favorite subjects, which is what happens when the Narrative & Credentialed Experts clash with Reality.

Reality is that we are now more than 2 years into a major European ground war & it doesn't look anything like it was supposed to.
1/
Reality is that combat is an extremely dangerous place to be if one is in the open

The combination of drones, massive artillery strikes, precision munitions, stand-off glide bombs and the like have created a lethal environment, that both sides have reacted through by creating
2/
elaborate fortifications systems. The soldiers stay alive by staying in the trenches and bunkers.

This WAS NOT how war was supposed to work in the 21st century, at least not in minds of US military planners. War was supposed to occur with maneuver and combined arms moving

On this Independence Day, I would like to explore one possible future, where the Heartland regains its freedom in a non-violent manner before 2030.

For this to happen, the Ruling Coalition will need to blatantly steal the 2024 election, as I believe they will.
1/
Biden can never win a free & fair election, and neither can Harris. The 2020 election was blatantly stolen, and since that worked, we should expect the same this time around.

The difference is that the American electorate is in a very different place than it has been before.
2/
We all saw it happen in 2020 - and that very much includes the normies of the Heartland.

What happened in 2020 is, of course, the ultimate forbidden topic, but nonetheless polls show at least half the country believes it. I think the polls are distorted, it is more than that.

This is all a matter of simple math.

White Dems are importing POC en masse to win elections. Yes, this dilutes white votes overall.

But, it necessarily dilutes white votes in the Dem party MUCH faster. White Dems become a minority long before the entire nation does.
1/
They are simultaneously preaching an anti-white and anti-male message, intended to crush those damn MAGA types.

Except their new numerical masters are not so interested in the fine details - they don't like white men or white women.
2/
Long before they bring us down out in the Heartland, the urban Dem whites are going to destroy themselves. They are grossly incompetent domestically, much as they are internationally.

Simple math. They're just too stupid to get it.
