Media, Big Business, and Political Establishment Colluded to Rig 2020 Election
2021-02-11
[Daily Bell] Who really got Joe Biden elected? Molly Ball, storied DC insider and Swamp chronicler, spills the beans in her Time Magazine post-election analysis:
"a well-funded cabal of powerful people, ranging across industries and ideologies, working together behind the scenes to influence perceptions, change rules and laws, steer media coverage and control the flow of information. They were not rigging the election; they were fortifying it. And they believe the public needs to understand the system’s fragility in order to ensure that democracy in America endures."

Ball calls it the "inside story of the conspiracy to save the 2020 election." Like, as in, a real-life conspiracy — confirmed by the perpetrators themselves for all to read — that tilted the "free" US presidential election.

So, where are all the #Resistance banshees on the "election interference" war-path? Meddling in the "democratic" US election process only counts when it’s done by imaginary Russian oligarchs?

Russia, Russia, Russia. Like that annoying blonde girl from The Brady Bunch said, it’s always about Russia.

As the evidence bore out, CNN and the New York Times’ Russian election meddling conspiracy theory was a hoax. The existence of the Deep State, on the other hand, is now an established fact of reality. It indeed functions — just as the "conspiracy theorists" claim it does — as a permanent and unelected bureaucracy.

#2  So I followed this link to the Daily Bell and then followed the link there to Molly Ball's piece at the Time Magazine site so I could read the whole piece. There I found the following:

There was a conspiracy unfolding behind the scenes, one that both curtailed the protests and coordinated the resistance from CEOs. Both surprises were the result of an informal alliance between left-wing activists and business titans. The pact was formalized in a terse, little-noticed joint statement of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and AFL-CIO published on Election Day. Both sides would come to see it as a sort of implicit bargain–inspired by the summer’s massive, sometimes destructive racial-justice protests–in which the forces of labor came together with the forces of capital to keep the peace and oppose Trump’s assault on democracy.

AFL-CIO, huh? Then I remembered an article from yesterday's Rantburg about how Biden's agenda is smashing into reality in which I found the following:

Richard Trumka, the head of the AFL-CIO that spent millions to get Biden elected, excoriated the new president's climate policies this past weekend for erasing thousands of well-paying union jobs with the shutdown of the Keystone pipeline from Canada.

Hope you get everything you wanted, Trumka. Good and hard.

#1  probably a violation of campaign finance law since they didn't report their activity as a contribution but this takes years to investigate and adjudicate
