    As you may know I believe Kamala Harris will be the next President.

    Clearly, once this has been accomplished Trump's relevance is, in essence, over, both Trump and the Supreme Court will be at the mercy of the Harris Administration... the path forward cleared of obstacles, the transformation of America can begin in earnest. 

    In WWII, all German machinery, including weapons of war, were dependent on steel ball bearings. At one point, the Allies figured out that the Germans only had one ball bearing factory, and taking it out would incapacitate the German war machine.

    So, the Allies took out that factory and it severely crippled the Germans at a crucial point in the war: no new tanks, trucks, planes, etc.

    That was a mechanical war. Ours is an information war.

    It's not clear what's upstream from the media as a single "ball bearing factory," but the VIMA (vertically integrated messaging apparatus) is all the way downstream from something.

    I wonder if X/Twitter having gone free-speech with Elon Musk's purchase may be akin to destroying whatever the "ball bearing factory" of the DEI-information war is.

    Perhaps not, but X being the single free-speech zone does appear to massively disrupt its operation.

    The Axis Powers of our day are absolutely freaking out that there is a legitimate disruptive force against their primary weapon of war, which is information control and an absolute media messaging hegemony.

    The Political and Main Stream Media elites must destroy or regain control of X, or else find a way to ensure that good "normal" people won't engage it, lest they get accused of conspiracy theories, racism, being "far right" etc.

    They will most likely put a considerable amount of their power and effort into doing just that as soon as this election is over... the excuse and sentiment will look very similar to this:

    Discussing:
    "... information control and an absolute media messaging hegemony."

    "The Political and Main Stream Media elites must destroy or regain control of X, or else find a way to ensure that good "normal" people won't engage it, lest they get accused of conspiracy theories, racism, being "far right" etc."

    Also found this:
    "Benson, a Democrat, is encouraging Michiganders to report others’ supposed election “misinformation” to a government email address, The Federalist reported last week. A document from Benson’s office said 'citizens can and should join this effort' to 'hold people accountable for spreading lies about elections.'"

      Wow, I wish I could use that site to complain about the fraud from Maduro, Lula, and Biden!

      That's information that will be instantly dismissed as 'Right-Wing Propaganda' for sure.

    Sadly if by any chance Kamala wins its the end of America as a global power and civil war   could be the result

      Freedom of speech will be the first right to go.
