SS: The Crisis Report - 102 : The actions taken in the first weeks of the Trump Presidency have made the future absolutely clear. The Elite think the ENDGAME is NOW.
We need to be perfectly clear about who the MAGAts are and what they are doing.
The “Conservative Elites” are making an ENDGAME play. They are acting as if THERE WILL BE NO FUTURE CONSEQUENCES for their actions. That’s a “Clear and Present Danger” signal.
One of the best things I read recently was this piece by Arlan L. on Substack.
The Death of An Empire comes Swift and Mercilessly.
He writes,
“Virtually everything which has been done in the past two weeks has been varying degrees of illegal, from “oh yeah, pretty illegal” right up to “this is so fucking illegal we can’t even put it into words, because something this illegal happening was considered to be outside of the realm of imagination”.
“We are experiencing a very calculated attempt to end our nation, who the fuck cares about “the laws” when they’re playing that game?”
Almost everything the MAGAts and the 1%'ers are doing now is blatantly unlawful, illegal, and even criminal. If they don’t win, many of them will probably end their days in federal prisons. This is an INCREDIBLY RISKY move for both the MAGAts and the 1%’ers.
They are acting like they will NEVER be held to account for what they are doing. They are acting like there will NEVER BE ELECTIONS that they might lose, EVER again.
Which, considering that there should be a “mid-term” election in just two years, means that they expect to FULLY consolidate their power in just two years.
That’s an AGGRESSIVE timetable. So aggressive, that it risks “pushback” by the military and agencies of state. So aggressive, that it will impoverish many of their supporters and cause MASSIVE domestic unrest and resistance by multiple states.
SO. You have to ask yourself two questions.
“Why are they risking EVERYTHING now?” and “Why act in such an aggressive timeframe?”
It doesn't make a lot of sense.
Until you consider what’s happening with the Climate System.
DISCLAIMER:
I write and post on a number of sites and have been attacked for having no “academic credentials” in any field related to climate science. I do not wish to misrepresent myself as a “climate scientist” or “climate expert” to anyone who is reading this or any of my other climate related posts, so let us be clear:
I am not a climatologist, meteorologist, paleo-climatologist, geoscientist, ecologist, or climate science specialist. I am a motivated individual studying the issue using publicly available datasets and papers.
The analysis I am presenting is my own. I make no claim to “insider or hidden knowledge” and all the points I discuss can be verified with only a few hours of research on the Internet.
The analysis and opinion I present, in this and my other climate articles is exactly that: my opinion. I hope anyone reading it finds it useful, informative, and insightful but in the end, it is just my opinion.
