The Presidential Dilemma

Guest Post by Paul Craig Roberts

The dilemma is not limited to Trump and Biden. All of us face it.

Biden cannot win despite all of the theft mechanisms the Democrats have institutionalized. A stolen election requires a close election in order to hide the theft. But the polls show no such close election.

In order to use the fraudulent electoral means put in place, the Democrats need a candidate that the media can present as neck-in-neck with Trump. Even if Democrats had such a candidate, the Biden Crime Family cannot risk Trump taking office. In the event that Trump has learned not to appoint his most dangerous enemies to the highest offices, Biden out of power faces the risk of a real investigation of his and his son’s suspect business affairs, which appear to boil down to influence peddling.

So far the Biden family has reacted negatively to the pressure on Biden from fellow Democrats to stand down. But there is room for a deal if the Democrats can find a candidate for whom they can succeed in having a stolen election accepted. The deal would be that in exchange for standing down, the replacement candidate when “elected” will have the Justice (sic) Department investigate Joe and Hunter’s business dealings and clear them from all suspicions. One wonders why the corrupt Merrick Garland hasn’t already done this.

For Trump the main problem is how does he form a loyal government committed to Trump’s and Trump’s supporters agenda? The Rino Republican establishment is almost as opposed to Trump as the Democrats. Where are there aware Republicans with brains and a willingness to fight the Establishment and the media which serves the Establishment?

Supposing such people exist and that Trump finds them, how does he get them confirmed in office? Confirmation is up to the Senate. Is the Senate going to put in office people who intend to dismantle the Establishment that the Senate represents?

The most important question is who will sacrifice his chances for success in life by serving in a Trump administration and going against the Establishment. There are so many ways in which the Establishment can ruin you.

When Trump, if elected, is confronted with his isolation, as he was during his first term with no reliable advisers having abandoned Brannon and Flynn, what does he do? Does he declare his re-election as vindication and make his peace with the Establishment, thereby surviving and recovering from his damaged business interests?

Trump’s support is in the people, but the people are impotent. The media lies to them continually, but enough of them continue to support the media and partake of their indoctrination from CNN, NPR, the New York Times and the rest of the presstitutes for the media to continue its lies. The media’s lies sustain the official narratives.

The people have no influence on the cabinet departments that serve the private agendas of the Establishment. All the people can do is to cast votes that might or might not be properly counted.

We already see an unpromising change in Trump. In place of analysis he blusters. If he had been in office Russia would have been too afraid to invade Ukraine and Hamas to attack Israel. In other words, he has bought into the Establishment explanations. We no longer hear that he is going to normalize relations with Russia. Instead, he is going to intimidate Russia.

This is not what the world on the brink of World War III wants to hear. We want to see leadership that acknowledges Washington and NATO’s responsibility in the ever-widening conflict. As long as we are full of self-justification, we can’t see the Russian point of view. Unless we can bring ourselves to see the Russian point of view, we will continue on our path to a major war.

In the event that Trump has learned not to appoint his most dangerous enemies to the highest offices,
I can’t say Trump has learned, or has any friends in the Washington Beltway. Who will he find that is a friendly to fill all those positions?

He may be able to find them but they won’t be confirmed.

He can always nominate former republican representative Ken Buck (now of CNN fame after quitting office mid-term) for Attorney General.

A stolen election requires a close election in order to hide the theft.

Does it? Was the last theft “hidden”? It was obvious and yet the entire apparatus of the state denied it, allowed it, defended it. So, why is a close election necessary? Better yet, why is hiding the theft necessary? It wasn’t hidden in 2020. It was in your face.

But the polls show no such close election.



What did the polls show in 2020? Remember those huge Biden rallies all over the place? Yeah, neither does anyone else.

Paul, 2020 wasn’t a close election by any measure, so it required a massive theft followed by the biggest gaslighting project since the “Man on the Moon” push. Just thought I would throw that out there as an observation.

Odd course in disquisition toward the end. True enough but slightly peculiar, perhaps idiosyncratic, reflecting more a personal concern than following the course suggested by the thesis.

PCR might like this link.

tl;dr – that would be amazing to have a massive fight over appointments. It would make people take specific, publicly identifiable actions for which they can be held accountable. People acting in bad faith hate that.

If you’re afraid to bog down the USFG because it might cause some short-term problems, then you’ve already surrendered your sovereignty and what’s the point. If, on the other hand, you truly want to run DC differently, making appointments a central issue would be rather eye-opening.
