MIDNIGHT IN AMERICA

Between unprecedented censorship and propaganda by corporate and social media, and brazen voter fraud in Milwaukee, Detroit, Philadelphia and Atlanta, the axis of conflict in America now could not be clearer. Either President Trump and the American people triumph over corporate power and political corruption, or a totalitarian future is assured.

Already in an amazing video recorded before the election Joe Biden can be seen declaring “We’ve put together the most extensive and inclusive voter fraud organization in the history of American politics.” The story of election night ratified his confidence. As images from Milwaukee showed empty polling stations, recorded turnout surged to almost ninety percent, compared to an average turnout of around 67%, with some wards reporting more than 200% of their registered voter totals. Meanwhile, turnout in the demographically comparable city of Cleveland, Ohio remained unchanged, and in other urban centers dropped. 

By Friday morning, the official story was that Biden, despite a soporific campaign spent mostly in his basement, had won more electoral votes across America than any candidate in history, including Obama in 2008, and that he’d won them specifically in swing state municipalities controlled by Democratic Party machines thanks to an incredible margin of victory from absentee ballots.

There is no question that Trump won the majority of votes on Election Day. Not only that, but Trump won a sufficiently crushing mandate to push the Democratic strategy beyond all plausibility. On election night itself, as Trump racked up commanding leads in Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania, Fox News suddenly called Arizona for Joe Biden on the slenderest of justifications, and, as if on command, counting suddenly was halted in the big cities of the swing states without any explanation. In Philadelphia and Detroit, Republican observers were turned away, and sent home. In Detroit election workers locked the voting rooms and boarded up the windows to prevent onlookers from observing what was happening. In Philadelphia observers were compelled to attempt to observe through binoculars.

The corporate media strategy, like the wild exit polling numbers, all skewed systematically towards Biden, set the stage for what came next. The priority seems to have been to end the night with the Democratic candidate nominally ahead in the electoral college to establish the impression that Biden was the likely winner and that Trump was fighting from a lost position. Hence Florida, which Trump captured early by a huge margin, thanks to Cubans in Miami with some previous experience of totalitarian power, remained uncalled in order to keep Trump’s numbers low.

At midnight on Election night Trump was holding huge leads in Wisconsin, Michigan, North Carolina, Georgia and Pennsylvania. Then, suddenly, ten of thousands of ballots marked for Biden began arriving early in the morning. Nate Silver blithely reported “23,277 votes in Philadelphia, all for Biden.” Over the following days, further statistical improbabilities continued to aggregate, to reach the point where the nakedness of what has happened can only be compared to the “suicide” of Jeffrey Epstein; what we’re seeing now is the attempted “suicide” of the American Republic. 

Acting to defend the narrative, social media platforms now scaled-up their pre-election policy of censoring all information pointing to the fix, but it is easier to seize the TV station than to suppress social media entirely, as censors confront whackamole problems of responding always just too late. Not only does the message get out, but the message of suppression itself becomes the story. 

This is indeed the story of the future that we face. What must now be clear to everyone with eyes is that brazen repression and fraud, corruption and lawlessness, propaganda and terror, psyops and lockdowns is the reality of the post-democratic regime which is now clinging to power in the West.

Europe today is a police state, and the United States is in the middle of coup. sponsored by all the major powers of the nascent global order. Nevertheless, despite the tools at its disposal, the regime is shakier than it may seem. A secure power does not need to censor every dissident in sight, or terrorize its own population. The DNC war gamed the election, but how clearly does a media machine entangled in the logic of a simulacrum of consensus think?

The President won on Election Day with record shares of working people, blacks and latinos, despite four years of relentlessly defamatory propaganda: Biden is the candidate of the nomenklatura, the apparatchiks, the brainwashed, the criminal, the non-existent, and the dead. In the weeks before the vote, the President held rallies for crowds of tens of thousands, as Biden spoke in empty parking lots to honking cars.

Even as they attempt to project confidence and strength today, it is uncertain what cards they really hold. It is not a sign of strength to bet the house on flagrant voter fraud, while Trump is ultimately not just one man but the tribune of seventy million angry people. His support is energized and real, and cannot be simply disappeared.

Whenever he visited Israel, Joe Biden used to recount a conversation that he had with Golda Meir in the early 1970s. When Biden expressed his concern for the future of the nation, Meir replied, “don’t look so sad, Senator, we have a secret weapon in our battle against the Arabs. Senator, we have no place else to go.” The American people has this weapon too.
