As the first US presidential debate draws ever closer, I'm noticing that we as American citizens seem to be dividing into two camps across the battle lines. Normally this wouldn't be unusual. After the summer months of campaigning and policy reveals, everyone usually gets settled into their choices by the time the first debates roll around. The debates help solidify the choices of those people who already know who they're going to vote for and maybe help convince the undecided along the way. Yet there's a noticeable difference going into this debate. Perhaps it's just me in my own deplorable corners of the web, but I'm hardly seeing the battle lines one would usually expect. There's no, "Oh yes, Hillary will steamroll through Trump, she has this in the bag!" to go alongside the frequently touted, "Trump's going to win so hard we're going to get tired of winning!" Has anyone else noticed this?
Where is Hillary's ardent support? Most people I see say something along the lines of, "Well, both candidates are equally bad" or, "Whoever wins, we're screwed, it's like the apocalypse is really happening". There's a definite feeling of pessimism settling in on the other side. The liberal left can decry Trump for all of his perceived shortcomings, but in the end they remain unable to look at their own candidate for any positivity. Hillary has had months to hammer out her policies and sharpen her image without any Bolshevik upstart coming in to sweep away the youngsters' votes. The problem is that there has been no image to sharpen. No matter how much behind the scenes rigging Hillary pulls off, no matter how many elites she is able to buy for her stable, no matter how many desperate millennials she hires to correct the record - she is unable to properly hide her true colors from the American public.
Frankly I'm not sure how anyone thought she could hide herself from us. Months ago when she waved off the "vast right wing conspiracies" by saying that she had dealt with them for 30-odd years, I didn't find that reassuring in the slightest. All that told me is that she has skeletons going back throughout her entire political career and no one's successfully lived to tell people about them. Skeletons pile up though. And after three presidential candidate runs, all the laundry's aired out for everyone to see. Even if every single accusation thrown against her was undeniably false, that's still two generations of accusations stacked up against... what? What is her legacy? We all know her supposed legacy; that's the problem.
Yet even despite having to wade through piles of skeletons, Hillary continues to press on in her own way. Her own way is what I believe has finally led to all of this open pessimism. It's too easy nowadays to see that her way means hiding from the press, lying about her health, perhaps even being too unhealthy to serve and seemingly being too fearful to face the American people, let alone the challenges that come with being president. The truth is nobody really wants Hillary as president, not even the Dems who were saddled with her. Her failing health and newfound low energy only serves to give reason for all the Undecided to finally admit they were going to vote for the other guy all along. After all, they can't just waste a vote for someone who might die the first year they're elected.
But there is an apocalypse brewing with some immense political fallout likely to occur. Most of us expect some bombshell leaks will drop around the time of the first debate to give Trump some fresh ammo and send Hillary reeling. I fully expect this myself, though I don't think Assange and Guccifer 2.0 are the only ones in the leak game. If Roger Stone is to be believed, someone recently broke into Trump's campaign HQ to steal some rather sensitive data. Ten bucks says the Mainstream Media won't blame the Russians for this one, if they mention it at all. But most of my money is betting on MSM and the globalist elites crafting a narrative about newly found Russian support for Trump right around the same time that our eagerly awaited Wikileaks files drop.
This isn't so farfetched. I've already mentioned how Zero Hedge realized that this would be a perfect ploy for them to pull on us if Trump wins the election. I believe it could happen earlier though, especially given recent events in Syria. Consider how everything we've done in Syria lately has involved us throwing the blame on our Russian friends. We accidentally bomb a Syrian city? Well Russia gave us the go ahead, so they set us up. Someone blows up our aid trucks? The Russians were watching it happen, so they must be in on it. Anti-Russian sentiment is nothing new, but it's certainly hitting new lows as of late. RT may be statist-operated news, but I imagine many other Americans agree with their questioning of America's Middle Eastern policy. Anyone who bothers looking beyond the usual MSM reporting will find that our actions in Syria are utterly bewildering and nonsensical. Unless of course, we're trying to set Russia up for a fall and take Trump down with them.
Some may accuse me of being a concern shill or a defeatist. I admit to being concerned, though I would argue my concern is more that we should be warier than ever of the false narratives that will be built. We must not let the enemy surprise us, not when the stakes for the future of our civilization are so high. We must also be especially prepared to counter the arguments our globalist friends will use built from these false narratives. The MSM and the globalists are losing ground, ground that we cannot let them recover. Trump is most certainly winning and I have little doubt he can shirk off whatever is thrown at him, but if the left expects us to get comfortable and sit at home while he wins, then they have another thing coming. In these final days our swords must be at their most sharp and our eyes at their most watchful. An apocalypse is absolutely coming and I for one am relishing it.
