WND's Krugman: Plugs will be gone in six months, communist transition will be in full swing
2020-11-23
[WND] In her famous book "Atlas Shrugged," written in 1957, during a time in the country's history when it was thought that communism was on the rise — today it truly is — Ayn Rand created a character named John Galt, who, along with other powerful people, checked out of society when a corrupt government, in exercising dictatorial powers, dumbed down our body politic by falsely making all people "equal," that is, reduced to mindless moronic zombies.

The goal of John Galt and his followers was to deprive a corrupt government of their expertise, in effect allowing the United States to be taken down to ground zero, in order that someday it could resurface to recreate the vision of our Founding Fathers on July 4, 1776 — a free, capitalist nation where individual achievement thrived.

This indeed is what is on the near horizon for the United States of America today, with the pending presidency of the brain-dead Joe Biden and vice presidency of the evil leftist witch Kamala Harris. Given Biden's deteriorating neurological health — it has been reported that he has suffered multiple strokes — and perhaps nefarious "Clintonesque" fatal deeds by those on the left, I predict that Biden will be dead within six months, at which time a total socialist/communist takeover will be in full swing. This will also be furthered by a likely Democratic takeover of the U.S. Senate, given that election fraud is relatively certain to again take place in the Georgia run-off in a few weeks. New laws, putting in place a socialist/communist gulag, will be enacted, and We the People will be living under a tyrannical government that even far surpassed what Ayn Rand and George Orwell in is book "1984" predicted would come to pass someday.

#11  It's not about communist v capitalist but about pure naked power and the best way to maintain that once it is gained. Also about the best way to lick the boots of those likely to gain that power so they leave you alone.

Also to lick the boots hoping the communist minions you hired direct out of college don't take your company out from within.

#10  I think that Trump is planning the demise of the republican party with Ms Powell in the vanguard. I have no respect or regard of people like Murkowski, Christie, Romney, or Ryan but I do regard and respect people like Trump, Jordan, and Powell.

#9  At a minimum, if we don't get rid of absentee ballots for all but overseas citizens, we will never have an honest, free and fair election again.

Upholding this shitshow's results sends the wrong signal.

No politician or candidate will resist the temptation to cheat because this election has proven that lying, cheating and intimidation work.

#8  A Republican wave requires honest vote COUNTING! Think that is likely for the 2022 elections once they are in power. I don’t.

#7  At the federal level, perhaps, though I don’t think they‘ll have much time before the 2022 Republican wave. But at the state and local levels the majority of governors and state legislatures are Republican, as Dan Bongino pointed out here.

Moreover, in 2021, Republicans will hold 27 governorships compared to the Democrats, with 23.

A “trifecta” refers to single-party control of a state’s governorship and both chambers of its legislature. As a result of the 2020 elections, Republicans won trifectas in New Hampshire and Montana. According to Ballotpedia, “If control of Alaska does not change, Republicans will have 23 trifectas (a net gain of two), Democrats will have 15 trifectas, and 12 states will have divided governments (a net loss of two). (If Republicans gain a trifecta in Alaska, they will have 24 trifectas to Democrats’ 15 with 11 divided governments.)”

Of the battleground states, the GOP will hold trifectas in Arizona, Florida, Georgia, New Hampshire, Ohio and Texas. Democrats will have a trifecta in Nevada only. The rest of the battlegrounds, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin will have divided government.

Why does it matter if Republicans control the legislatures in the majority of states, particularly in the battlegrounds?

Because in 2021, state legislatures will be redrawing U.S. House district maps according to changes identified by the 2020 census.

#6  Big tech might be the last they go after, But by then there will zero infrastructure for them to make money with. The Marxist government will go after Health insurance, then the oil industry. From there it will be banking and 401k because the exodus Of all businesses to off shore will crash our dollar. Learn to count Yen...

#4  It's rent-seeking they want.

The state protects the board from competition, and the board sends a percentage to those pulling the bureaucracies strings.

"lockdown" is a great excuse for more printing and thus insider bailouts.

#3  /\ D.C. and Northern VA., the government city model:

Pyongyang is the capital and largest city of North Korea. Pyongyang is located on the Taedong ... and transport center of North Korea. It is home to North Korea's major government institutions, as well as the ruling Workers' Party of Korea.

#2  Ah... but Big Tech *loves* Socialism. They are foolish enough to believe that they will end up on top. That Socialism will not dare touch them. Much like Obamacare, they and theirs will get an exemption.

#1  You know that the corporatist Democrats, which includes Biden and Harris, absolutely despise the communist wing of the party. Right? Right.

What is this spittle-flecked nonsense doing here?
