Today, the day before the electoral college officially determines the next president of the United States, there is record cold weather throughout the United States. There also are circulating these contrived falsehoods
1) that stories heard against Hillary Clinton prior to the election were Fake News,
2) that an “enemy” country’s “dictator” deprived the US of its rightful leader by hacking and releasing the private emails of the national committee of the candidate targeted for undeserved defeat,
3) that 1 & 2 were decisive in changing the outcome of the election.
4) that the targeted candidate nonetheless received 2 million more votes than the candidate backed by the hacking foreign enemy, and finally,
5) that the electoral college electors are free agents by the wording of the Constitution and need not be bound by the decisions of voters, especially when an enemy-foreign-power-rigged election means that the popular vote has been tainted by systematic interference by an hostile foreign power.
On the basis of all of the above, and the fact that Trump electors are being pressured to a degree and in ways not fully known to the public — but enough to turn many Republican electors to not voting for the choice of their state’s voters — with one so intimidated that he has simply decided not to exercise his responsibility as a chosen elector at all — I SAY IT IS LIKELY THAT
1) DONALD TRUMP WILL NOT RECEIVE 270 ELECTORAL VOTES TOMORROW.
2) THE ELECTORS WILL NOT SIMPLY ABSTAIN FROM VOTING OR VOTE FOR THE THIRD PARTY CANDIDATES, BUT WILL ELECT HILLARY CLINTON OUTRIGHT — BECAUSE THAT WAY THE ELECTION WILL NOT BE THROWN TO THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES WITH ITS STRONG REPUBLICAN MAJORITY UNLIKELY TO VOTE AGAINST THE REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE THAT ALMOST ALL REPUBLICANS BELIEVE WON THE ELECTION BY THE RULES.
My position is this:
We did not pick the existing electors of 2016 on the basis of their ability to search and select the best candidate for president. The electors are in fact unknown by the voters who picked them indirectly through the party system process — picked them without even knowing their names.
The electors were not chosen as free agents of discretion to pick a president, nice as that idea may be. They were chosen under the party system to vote for the party’s candidate should the party’s candidate win the election. That makes all the difference. The electors we have today, December 17, 2016, are not Constitution-specified electors free-to find candidates, sift their merits and vote them president and vice president as the Founding Fathers intended them to be.
Instead they are party system electors, chosen behind the scenes by the political parties as captive electors, unknown and unchosen by the public. IF PARTY SYSTEM ELECTORS AFTER AN ELECTION CAN BE INTIMIDATED OR OTHERWISE “CONVINCED” TO BREAK THE RULES OF THE PARTY-SYSTEM ARRANGEMENT… THE SELECTION OF HILLARY CLINTON AS PRESIDENT TOMORROW WOULD AMOUNT TO A COUP D’ETAT. AND IT WILL BE TOO COLD FOR THE NEXT FEW WEEKS FOR PEOPLE TO DEMONSTRATE AGAINT THE EVENT — GIVING IT SOLIDARITY — ESPECIALLY AS THE FACEBOOK IS ABOUT TO BE FILTERED FOR “FALSE NEWS” AND AS THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA HAS ALREADY BEEN NON-STOP CONDITIONING PEOPLE TO ACCEPT THIS OUTCOME SINCE THEY HAVE GIVEN IT A SPURIOUS LEGITIMACY BY THEIR ENDLESS STORIES ABOUT RUSSIAN HACKING AND FALSE NEWS AGAINST CLINTON.
And of course, I am a marginalized man — what I say here… will not be shared by more than a handful — even if it had time to get out there. In other words the coup will work — organized crime will not be deposed.
Tomorrow will tell.
