Connecting the Dots
The illusion of choice: What You’re Not Supposed to Know About the 2024 Election. From Blackmail to Baby Oil. Tubes, lubes, the media’s great betrayal. Connecting dots, history and pop culture.
In a world where most people are swept up in the latest headlines, a relatively small, discerning few are watching and connecting the dots. This minority was well aware of Epstein long before his final chapter: his crimes, mysterious death, and entanglements with notable figures—along with the whispers of damning videos that could bring entire careers crashing down. Meanwhile, the majority? They were distracted—wrapped up in pop culture, sports, and the next celebrity scandal.
"A permanently distracted and tranquilized mass of modern consumers would not need to be coerced by force, but could instead be led voluntarily into servitude through pleasure."
Aldous Huxley
As high-profile figures, like P. Diddy, are dragged into the light, I imagine the general public is starting to stir. My barometer? Not too long ago, most teenagers would have been clueless about Epstein and his role in a broader blackmail operation. Today, my high school junior is attempting to mortify me by suggesting he’ll dress up as Diddy for Halloween—with baby oil in hand, no less. I conclude, the shift is happening. Houston, they have a problem.
There is a wide chasm between those who ponder the profound changes that have taken place in recent history and the rest of the population. It is disappointing how few think critically, question, and see beyond the glossy surface. Meanwhile TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome), is an observable condition evidenced by physical displays such as shouting unwarranted obscenities to complete strangers or triggering unbecoming demeanor towards others while in the presence of minors. It an unforgettable spectacle.
I submit that decades of television programming have turned “tell-a-vision” into an insidious form of control that creates a construct—to keep the masses in line and in some cases, an instrument of behavior modification. And if the blatant manipulation we saw with COVID and the 2020 election wasn’t enough, the media’s now undisguised chokehold on free speech has become so overwhelming that even Democrat royalty like Robert Kennedy Jr. or former darling Tulsi Gabbard, have left the party and aligned with Trump. Three years ago, such an exodus would have been inconceivable.
Conversely, why would GOP heavyweights like Chaney and Romney back Harris? A lacking candidate clearly cast to balance the white elder statesman with a younger, minority and female. One who was the least liked of the 2020 line-up and who never was elected to be the front runner of the Democratic party. Theoretically she was the functioning brain behind the Bye-den administration—part of the coup d'état that political pundits seem to conveniently dismiss and forget.
This set of months old developments added to my quest to comprehend why the establishment is so determined to destroy Trump, has led me to some logical possible postulations. I’m inviting you to connect these dots with me.
A close friend worked as a young analyst during the post-NAFTA free trade negotiations in Latin America, which gave me some insight into the inner workings of the global order. I surmise that the so-called “rules-based international order” isn't only about economic parity or stability. It's a complex web of interlocking agreements, tacit understandings, clandestine deals, and explicit pacts designed to keep the markets running and the elite at the helm of this ship we call Earth. For a time, we were told these “understandings” were necessary to avoid conflict on U.S. soil. That script has apparently been tossed aside … but I digress.
Now imagine if a populist president were elected and these deals, pacts, and agreements were under pressure because said leader was not in agreement with these “undertsandings”? In fact, what if this President was actually working to advance the lives of his constituents, notwithstanding the interest of the stakeholders in the shadows? Could the load bearing walls beneath this decades old structure withstand this battering?
I submit our two-party system has been hijacked for years, possibly decades and has been little more than a puppet show. This all might have started in earnest when Ross Perot disrupted the status quo with his unexpected momentum in the 90s. Much like Trump, Perot was a billionaire businessman with no prior political experience. Someone who could fund his own campaign and had no allegiance to the existing power structures. His sudden rise must have sent shockwaves through the system.
Have the primaries ever since been engineered to ensure that only "acceptable" candidates emerge—ones who will toe the line of the global order? Arguably, the stakeholders are not the American people but the State Department, the intelligence community, the military industrial complex, Big Pharma, multinational corporations owned by hedge funds—all colluding to maintain their grip on power while feeding the public the illusion of choice. The will of the people is irrelevant but we must be kept busy, distracted, and ignorant.
Therefore, as long as voters played along, everything stayed on track. Until 2016. Donald Trump—already a massive public figure—broke through the rigged primary system. This, I believe, is when the media stopped pretending to be impartial observers and became full-on accomplices of the globalist agenda. Since then, anyone who speaks truth to power is a target. RFK’s alliance with Trump, Tucker Carlson’s firing, the censorship of anyone with an opposing view—all of it points to one undeniable truth: we are in a war for free speech.
History tells us that when a population is sufficiently subdued, free speech dies. Those who’ve lived under dictatorships or undemocratic regimes know this all too well. Notable and respected Venezuelan journalists who dared speak out against Chavez and Maduro are now in exile, living in Mexico, grateful to be alive. Our founding fathers knew this and now, the warning signs are all around us. I am still connecting dots but one thing is certain, if Trump is blocked from the presidency, dissent as we know it will disappear from the national conversation.
America stands in the way of the new world order, the Constitution a rather inconvenient document to their designed agenda, and the second amendment is the reason we are not further along the road towards tyranny. Unless American citizens push back with vigor in this coming election, the heavy hand of the government will only grow heavier.
"The duty of a true patriot is to protect his country from its government."
Founding Father, Thomas Paine
Almighty Father,
Grant us discernment and the courage to speak truth in the face of overwhelming silence. Let us not be swayed by the fleeting worldy distractions, but anchor ourselves in Your eternal truth. Strengthen our resolve to stand firm in our convictions, no matter the opposition we face, trusting that You are our shield and refuge in these uncertain times.
Lord, we pray for this nation, that the scales would fall from the eyes of the many, and that the darkness shrouding the hearts of those in power would be exposed to Your light. May the lies that seek to divide us be dismantled, and the forces that conspire to suppress truth be thwarted by Your justice.
Holy Spirit, protect President Trump, JD Vance, RFK and all those who promise to steer this country onto the path of integrity and freedom. Guide them as they navigate the tumultuous political waters, thwart the plans of the Enemy, and obfuscate the evil designs of his minions.
Lord Jesus, in Your holy name, we pray.
Amen.
