Two important events have occurred since the fourth installment (26 Jan 2024). First, Governor Haley lost to “none of the above” in the Nevada primary (which did not award electors) and Trump won the Nevada caucus (which did award electors). Secondly, Special Counsel Robert Hur released a report 5 Feb 2024 detailing Joe Biden’s theft and retention of classified documents between 1974 and 2017, but gave the excuse that Biden cannot be prosecuted because he is a nice old guy with a bad memory. It should be obvious to all that the fix was in from the very beginning: the administrative state will always issue whatever whitewash is necessary to protect a Democrat.
In this fifth segment, I give some guesses regarding the approach that is likely to be taken by the administrative state in regard to the 2024 elections. The main point is that the administrative state generally is led by Democrat operatives who desire bigger government with greater regulatory powers. The administrative state most likely will conjure up anything against the Republicans and cover up anything that is inconvenient for the Democrats. There will be false allegations that Republicans are being investigated for corruption, child molestation, wire fraud, tax fraud, etc. It doesn’t matter that all are false; the point is to get the message out, endorsed by prominent current and former members of those organizations, as was done in 2020 with Hunter Biden’s laptop. Anything to the contrary will be censored if possible and cited as “disinformation” as necessary.
The general tactic is always the same: accuse, accuse, accuse until some of it sticks in the minds of the voters. Here is a partial list of tactics that could be used by elements of the administrative state to further the cause of the Democratic candidates. Keep in mind that the administrative state is mostly concerned with expanding its powers, and is opposed to anyone who is perceived as a threat to those powers
