Time Magazine: ‘Secret,' ‘Well-funded Cabal' Worked to ‘Protect' 2020 Election
[Breitbart] Time magazine has published a detailed account of what it describes as a "conspiracy" between "left-wing activists and business titans" to create "an extraordinary shadow effort" to "protect" the 2020 presidential election.

The New York Times had reported on the effort in January, referring to the "Democracy Defense Coalition." The Daily Beast hinted at it in the fall. But the Time article is the most in-depth report at what others suggested was going on behind the scenes.

The article by Molly Ball, titled "The Secret History of the Shadow Campaign That Saved the 2020 Election," presents the effort as a heroic effort to preserve a free and fair election, and to fend off President Donald Trump’s anticipated claims of fraud.

Ball’s description, however, also matches what she calls a "paranoid" view of an effort to make it difficult for Trump to win:

#1 So at their trials for overthrowing the US government and the will of the people, their confession and guilty plea is already on record. Sounds like a lot of people offering to be deplatformed via the gallows.

#2 Time isn't exposing. They are bragging.

#3 Hidden in plain view.

And they're laughing at us.

They know that this country isn't racist, that our $20 trillion economy has nothing to do with "plunder" or cruel exploitation of po' black cotton-pickers.

They know BLM and commie DAs elected with Soros-loot have caused >1,000 innocents, nearly all of them black, to be slaughtered since May 27. They know St George F died of a fentanyl overdose, that the fat thug Michael Brown wasn't "murdered," that Blowsey Ford is a psychopathic fabulist, and that Trump was hostile and belligerent, not docile or submissive, toward Russia.

They know Biden is a corrupt and senile old buffoon, his brother and son lowlife criminals who've sold access to "Pop" for over 30 years, that his VP is literally a prostitute and a political incompetent who's so repulsive and phony she couldn't win a single DNC delegate.

They know know that everything they say is bullshit.

They're simply laughing at us. F---ing with us. When asked why, they'll respond with the immortal words of Willie Jeff Clinton: "Because we CAN."

We now have a kakocracy: rule of the shits, by the shits, for the shits.

How much longer will Americans who love their country tolerate this shit?

#4 They might be bragging.

Alternatively this could be an attempt to preemptively frame reports that they know will be published soon (Veritas?).

If that's the case they'd make some strategic narrative sacrifices by admitting to unethical but not criminal wrongdoing. They'd use this newly revealed truthful information to package big strategically important lies.

BTW if posting a sarcastic meme can lead to 10 years in prison if it influences an election shouldn't the cabal be incarcerated for billions of years just for what is being admitted in this article?

They were, after all, according to the Time article's words colluding with inspired by an 'organized anarcho-tyrannical terror campaign the summer’s massive, sometimes destructive racial-justice protests.'

This went way beyond speech.

#5 Veritas?

Veritas. They just released hours of tapes — Facebook, if I recall correctly. (It’s late. I’m up to make sure trailing daughter #1’s new sleep med does not dangerously suppress her heart rate or breathing, always a concern with a new sleep med. I’ve got another hour to go before I conclude that she’ll be fine.)

#8 I'm seeing a logical progression here. Deny, Admit, Institutionalize. With a touch of Tiny's take for flavor.

#9 TIME attempts to turn an obvious criminal conspiracy into a legitimate political campaign strategy.

In what Annex of the Cover Support Plan is this effort found ?

When will our next COVID 'feel good' checks arrive? We demand midnight payment via unmarked helicopter. Palletized USD and Swiss Francs please. Our subdivision has identified the landing zone, reception committee, and placement of flares.

#10 The next logical step is punishment and cancellation for those who show insufficient gratitude to the Cabal.

#11 /\ .....who show insufficient gratitude to the Cabal.

Many in the military and all in 'fly-over' and the South have fallen short, must be held accountable and punished.

Just to let you know that td#1 survived as expected, Xyz. Now to see if it actually does what it promises when she takes the full dose.

#14  From "The Insiders' Game":

... politics in the post-Trump era will no longer divide along an axis of Left and Right, but of insider and outsider.

When she started landing blows against Wall Street after the 2008 financial crisis, Elizabeth Warren met with President Obama’s economics adviser, the former treasury secretary and Harvard president Larry Summers.

He presented her with a choice: “I could be an insider or I could be an outsider,” she recalled in her 2014 memoir, A Fighting Chance. “Outsiders can say whatever they want. But people on the inside don’t listen to them. Insiders, however, get lots of access and a chance to push their ideas. People—powerful people—listen to what they have to say. But insiders also understandone unbreakable rule: They don’t criticize other insiders.”
