It’s the end of America,
As we know it,
And I [don’t] feel fine.

Which is great, except we won’t have elections where anyone cares anymore.

That would only be under extreme conditions that still don’t exist. In terms of leveraging against the federal government, at least transitionally, there is a scenario where the state of California, and possibly the state of New York withdraw, and refuse to pay their taxes into the system.

And going to get worse. This also serves Saudi interests in dismantling democracy in the UK and Russian interests in putting under the EU.

If California were to do such a thing, and states in the Northeast. It would have a devastating effect on the U.S. and change the balance of power in the world economy. China would profit from it, probably most of all.

Excellent question. It only took about six months to pull enough credible information together from sources in-the-know.

One scenario is that the blue states continue to resist, trying to use legal means to wrest control of the federal government from the Funding Fathers.

Another is to secede.

This is how they’re most likely to stop it. I have a number of contacts who were in the game a long time that don’t think the scenario is off point. The engagement is always “big drama” to fill the news cycles.

Meet the Mellons. (Part I) The “shadow warrior” family of the Far Right, the Mellons, and Scaifes, are America’s puppet masters, manipulating America rightward, and backward, since the Great Depression.

Amazingly not the KGB. The oil interests here did it, along with every president since Eisenhower. it’s never about political affiliation. It’s always about money.

Unless, of course, it’s on purpose. The world is run by a handful of narcissist Social Darwinists, socially engineering the reduction of the population on a planet that has AI and robotics to not pay #UBI to keep us alive. Trump is a puppet. One on his way out.
