The first story up this morning is that, per AP’s WH correspondent—are you sitting down for this, coffee safely place away from your lips?—Zhou’s “competence” is coming into question after his most recent disastrous week. Zhou has never—ever—in his life been other than incompetent. Even his continence has been called into question. This, coming from a certified MSM source is a clear sign that Zhou is being told: Sooner, not later.
Of course, this raises a lot of questions.
Start with, Was there some straw that broke the camel’s back? It seems clear that this hit was coordinated. The discoveries and leaks had to have been coordinated with the National Security agencies, working with political leaders—no doubt with the Gang of Eight members playing a significant role. The lack of any pushback from prominent party leaders and the collapse of any defense of Zhou from the usual pundits—after only the briefest flurry of defenses, mostly by way of attacking Trump—is another clear indicator of coordination.
But what about the timing? Some have suggested that this now puts Kama Sutra in place to run for two full terms as POTUS. But Kama Sutra is one of the few political figures in this country who can make Zhou look remotely competent and/or savory. She’s a disaster waiting to happen, and everyone knows it. She will undoubtedly be replaced in 2024—if not sooner. What was the sense of desperation that led to jumping from the frying pan into the fire—if that’s what’s going to happen? We’re in the middle of a war that has developed into an existential crisis for the American Empire, and it’s going badly. Just as bad, and closely related, all knowledgeable forecasters are expecting a sharp economic crisis in the coming year. How could putting Kama Sutra in the Oval Office be an improvement, unless something far worse were going on behind the scenes? There is nothing in her past that makes her remotely qualified to guide the Empire at this critical juncture.
We’re unlikely to know the truth of what’s really going on any time soon. Not if the Deep State has anything to say about it. On the other hand, the existential nature of the challenges facing the American Empire could lead to unexpected consequences. For the time being, keep your eyes peeled for some quid pro quo for the GOP. This had to be a collective act, a collective hit. To go along with it, there had to be something in it for the GOP establishment.
Lastly, where does Trump fit in all of this? Could the hit on Zhou be used to justify a fake prosecution of Trump, in a desperate attempt to derail his political operations? Tit for tat, fair is fair—ignoring the very clear differences? We’ll need to wait on events. But this much seems beyond question: Zhou is a dead man walking, in political terms.
Anytime corrupt people make corrupt moves, I think it's basic that you have to try and game out what would probably be different if they *hadn't* made the corrupt move. IOW: what do they see otherwise occurring that caused them to make the move? In this case, one obvious thing that should be gamed out is what might come of the investigations into Biden's long and sordid history of corruption, access-pedaling and selling out our country to its mortal enemies.
If the general (i.e., low-info) public were to get any sort of meaningful glimpse into all that, not only would Biden be bounced out of office on terms exceedingly unfavorable to the uniparty, et al, but it would in turn leave that same public -heaven forbid- much more willing to open its eyes to all the other crap that's gone on the past many years. The mythical Pandora's box could open, and that is of course much to be avoided by the chief string-pullers in question.
If, on the other hand, Biden is caught up in this document issue, he can be dealt with on terms of the uniparty's choosing, leaving the real corruption issues either moot or at least kept from gaining any proper traction.
I have no idea what factors are actually behind "garagegate," but if there is a real fear Biden's history of patently treasonous (loosely defined) behavior could be generally exposed and believed, there is nothing the aforementioned string-pullers wouldn't do to keep that from happening.
This whole Biden scandal is driven by the fact it was forecast for the Republicans to take the House and possibly the Senate. Having Biden's WH counsel leave in early October and then in her employment with Covington recall in early November these documents is a sign that she is in it up to her eye lashes. Who is driving this? We all know.
