I don't believe I ever advocated that, odd that you're bringing that up.

Wrong failed narrtive

What I'm writing here as a response is mostly off-the-cuff conjecture so take it with a grain of salt, buuuuut...


I wasn't aware of this and haven't seen this statement before now. Interesting if true.


Theres a contradiction here, on the one hand assuming he won't be ostensibly in charge, on the otherhand assuming he will be selected against all odds.
Theres arguments to be made that hes the fall guy for all the idealogies and policy positions he is supposed to represent, and I see that. But theres also arguments that if things were genuinely going to go tits up, the regime would engineer him being back into office to put it all on him.

I think there are too many useful idiots in high office running around, afraid for their own necks, to risk allowing him into office.

If we play on the assumption that big chunks of the u.s. government, from local elections all the way to cabinet positions, are controlled by various competing nation-state factions including China, Israel, Britain/UK, Iran in the small, Saudi Arabia, Russia, etc (all mostly through bribes and blackmail and assorted power dynamics), then the two biggest factions are China and Britain/Israel, pet theory being what it is, but there is precedent to at least consider it.

The red dawn scenarios are always possible if you dismiss the notion of U.S. invulnerability and exceptionalism. Possible but not probable. China's navy has vastly improved to be sure, and they have incentive, owning a large swath of U.S. farm land. Nevertheless this is mostly the realm of hollywood. I will bookend that statement with some observations: If china wanted to pull of a mainland invasion, if that were in the realm of possibility, they couldn't do it with direct boots on the ground except in some large scale national disaster scenario, and even thats a stretch.
The way china would do it would be to manufacture a large scale crisis, say an immigration crisis, and then bring in forward covert military units. These units would be here to lay in wait, and enact low-grade warfare in the form of sabotage, be it food, biosecurity (think low-grade bioterrorism, like the lab uncovered in california was almost certainty exploring as a tactic), infrastructure, communications, cyber, fomenting unrest, moving weapons, establishing logistics, etc--establishing leverage if they ever did decide to make a move, such as in the case the U.S. decided to move against China in protection of our Taiwan foothold.

More likely they would use uncontrolled immigration to establish a semi-permanent midterm (10-20 years) electoral lock for whichever party they could best bribe and blackmail the most and that wins the war without a shot fired.

Funny that, seems to be exactly what is happening.


These are threat postures designed to move and change the low-level political calculus of military policy. Think of it as shadow puppets meant to slightly nudge various nations and their policy decisions in one direction or another.

Naturally, at our level, the level of the public, the infosphere filters and speculates about these moves being more significant, but it is important to recognize who the intended audience is for these tactics, and that audience isn't really us.

This is China trying to project strength without significant escalation, ask why. Defensive posturing without looking weak in the process. China doesn't want the fight, probably any more than the U.S. actually does -- too much to lose economically, of that I'm certain.

That doesn't mean they won't move on Taiwan, but it makes no sense to do big flashy moves like red dawn, when Taiwan and not-so-subtle pacific theatre dominance is what they're after.

The bigger the predator, the more it will be standoffish to any potential prey that can risk harming them. Thats the rules of the jungle. And america definitely could hurt China if we wanted to, and vice-versa. And so we don't end up seeing anything resembling hollywood precisely because of that. Same reason for all the U.S. and Russian bluster, we haven't seen even further escalation (though that theatre is now going hot, so anything is possible).

There was some discussion a while back, again off the cuff, that Chinese, Israeli, and British control/heavy influenceover U.S. politics, manchurianism and all that jazz, was about economically bloc-busting Russia from any potential European agreements in the future, and pushing them into tighter financial cooperation with the Chinese, with Britain playing the middle, including in the middle east, simultaneously alienating the U.S. from our former allies in the sandbox, creating a power vacuum.

Interesting how things basically worked out exactly in that order. Maybe just a coincidence, or maybe I'm just reading the bird guts too closely.



but can they feed, equip, and properly train them?

It's gonna be so fun.

I assumed some of the fires, warehouse destruction, and refinery blowups that we've seen were drone warfare, but thats a guess because theres plenty here from foreign nations, some subset of which are certain to be forward military units.

It's all anyone can do at the moment.

Wait, isn't that BS? It wasn't lock down, it was government funny monies that took peoples mind off rising inflation. How could locking down whole industries not affect the supply of goods negatively?

In today's world macro economics is probably the last thing to worry about. Apparently what will do us in is a break down of production or transportation capacity through cyber attacks or war or bio warfare - however fake and gay these threats will prove to be.

The only correct theory here is the comfort of the masses maintained in its fullest with plenty of circus in between until the final rug-pull. That rug-pull will only happen when the west is fully non-white. Until that time, there will be groceries in the supermarket and electricity in the light sockets. Plenty of digital entertainment to go around too. The slow boil will work as intended unless someone works to remove comfort until that aforementioned final rug-pull, which probably won't happen.
