(7,945 posts)And as a side note, I for one have lost count on the number of times stories I've thought worthy of concern have been pooh poohed, and the news sources or the authors, dismissed. And at times without the info having been even read. So, join the club.
Regarding the VIDEO, I've watched it, and would like to make note of two, seemingly separate but, in my opinion (and I gather, that of Elias's) TOTALLY related developments on the front of Trump's war against DEMOCRACY:
1. That of Trump's deployment... no... OCCUPATION of American cities by mostly masked and unknown (reportedly poorly vetted) thugs, masquerading as 'law enforcement' and deliberately solicited and rounded up from among the worst, most hate filled groups and/or dregs of society, and
2. Trump's quite obvious and blatant plan to RIG THE MIDTERMS in his favour (IF not find a way to outright delay or cancel them), by setting up the PRETEXT (and he's good a setting up pretexts) by which he can seize (as in STEAL) BALLOTS.
As if MAGAS in 18 states haven't ALREADY enacted changes to voting laws that have disenfranchised tens of thousands, given anonymous entities the right to challenge ANYONE's eligibility, and have given (Republican led) election officials the right to challenge and even refuse to certify election results.
As Elias (and other political observers are observing) Trump's unprecedented and illegal seizure of Fulton's ballots has NOTHING to do with 2020, excepting that Trump's continuous PHONY claims of a stolen election gives him the FALSE 'justification' for his quite blatant and OBVIOUS SABOTAGE OF 2016 AND 2018.
Just as Trump's OCCUPATION of American cities has nothing to do with crime or immigrants.
And in the video, Elias draws parallels between the way Trump has gone about TESTING the system, both in his efforts to fill Blue community streets with his gestapo goons, and in the way he has and WILL BE trying to sow election CHAOS in 2016 and 2028.
OH, and regarding his gestapo: THEY ARE THERE because of what he'd order them to do to US, should we object.
Any of which might not be a bombshell to some, but to the rest of us, damn well OUGHT to be:
