As I sit here in bed on the East Coast, unable to sleep in the early hours of the morning, my mind tortures me with thoughts of impending war that do not please me. I'm 41; I remember Bush, the Dixie Chicks, aluminum tubes, and Freedom Fries and this is what keeps me up at night right now.
With low support for a war with Iran, and Mike Pence already attempting to re-write the history of 9/11 to lay it at Iran's feet despite the findings of the 9/11 Commission's findings on Saudi involvement, I can't help but now feel concerned to need to watch for a false flag somewhere at or near a Trump property, or perhaps even around 5th Avenue. This could even just be the report of the last second disruption of a major and imminent attack on American soil, possibly even in an area of high anti-Trump sentiment, such as Nancy Pelosi, Adam Schiff, or Chuck Schumer's home districts. The sound bites of the President's leadership despite the sentiments shown to him in those areas will naturally write themselves.
In the ensuing chaos and investigation, and before the smoke ever begins to clear, look past the natural misdirection of alleged Iran involvement, and even possibly rumours of antifa or Dem/liberal involvement, which would be used to generate fear and chill dissent in an attempt to rally support for this administration nationwide.
The Dept. of Edu, which is Caninet level, is lead by the sister of the founding member of a highly capable mercenary group, which could be depended on to perform such an action, if deemed absolutely necessary.
Any event even remotely along these lines would then be used by Republicans and their support network of Fox News, talk radio, and evangelicals to wage a coordinated propaganda effort to rally support by dividing Americans, once again, into two groups - on one side, patriotic, red-blooded, "love it or leave it" Americans and on the other side, the America haters - those who dissent or even simply question the official administration narrative and don't immediately fall into line, for the good of the nation. Like Israel, there will then be talk about America's right to exist and the lines between blind patriotism and patriotism through dissent will be further eroded as anti-Americanism and anti-Semitism begin to be used interchangeably in an attempt to bolster Jewish support for war with Iran.
Republicans will then use this in an effort to squash impeachment proceedings, as well as any other related investigations, subpoenas, and talk of various key players testifying, as an obvious distraction or simply by declaring this the wrong time to do in a time of national need. As Congress ramps up the argument for hearings defining the authority to debate and formally declare war, Republicans (and their support network) will receive their marching orders and trample the Constitutional separation of powers to declare that there is no need, or time to do this, by arguing the role of the President as sole commander of the armed forces, requiring no legal authority to brief Congress or ask permission, further cementing him in as an imperial President.
Of course, they will compartmentalize a small group or leaders from both sides but include only the most hawkish of Dems to brief in an effort to appear bipartisan.
The intended consequences:
End impeachment
Secure a second term
Potential to argue additional extra-Constitutional presidential term(s)
