There were three possible 2024 presidential-election outcomes, but to the bigger picture, to the panorama of America's patient transformation into something The Founders never intended, (s)election outcomes are both illusory and superficial. Option III, an "emergency" occurring prior to the election to cancel the election while ushering in martial law and suspending constitutional protections under Patriot Act provisos, can still be implemented prior to inauguration by replacing the word "Option" with the words "World War."

Never before has there been so brazenly brainless a candidate offering as the Harris-Walz ticket. Joe Biden exhibited signs of cognitive diminution long before 2020, but was at least able to construct intelligible, if plagiarized, sentences at some point in his life. Bernie Sanders was no less flagrantly collectivist but not entirely illiterate. Jimmy Carter was an intellectual basket case but generally coherent. Kamala Harris, however, has always been a blithering idiot, and Harris-Walz together comprised a mockery of both intelligence and Americanism designed to test a citizenry's willingness to accept mental midgets as symbols of authority.

U.S. presidential elections have for decades been a choice between the lesser of two evils. They have also been a barometer of the philosophical health of America. Despite Republicans' claims of a decisive Trump victory, the 2024 popular vote does not represent a significant margin of preference. If slightly less than half of America actually wanted Kamala Harris as president, then slightly less than half of America is as vapid and/or anti-American as Harris. If slightly more than half of America actually wanted Donald Trump as president, then slightly more than half of America has either swallowed the Trump Hopium or, simply and understandably, desires a few more years of not-so-obvious personal-liberty destruction.

But a momentary deferment of destruction will be the best-case result of a Trump presidency.

Few people grasp the scale of debased interconnections that comprise the Trump Package. In an effort to explain some of his fallen-by-the-wayside first-term promises, second-term-candidate Trump "admitted" that he made "mistakes" when choosing those who surrounded and advised him. But to believe that the man did not in 2016 know the players and the game — or that in 2024 he will not once again reward those to whom he is beholden and whose agendas are part of the art of his deal, is to disregard the decades of components and influences that brought a limelight-addicted career role player to the White House.

"How can a billionaire be subservient to anyone?" I was recently asked by a friend. The answer — that wealth accumulated by means of legal-loopholed, favor-traded, bankruptcy-deferred, government-connected "business" is not an indicator of independence (or honor) — is apparently irrelevant to those for whom the billionaire is a godsend and savior. That Donald Trump is not a self-made man, but a showpiece cog in a bigger, wealthier wheel, is immaterial to those whose prayers he materialized to answer.

Numerous of this pretender's current cabinet and agency picks — with the guidance and assistance of his Israel Firster son-in-law — are political beneficiaries of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) and, to a lesser degree, the United Democracy Project and Republican Jewish Coalition. His 2024 choices and allies have ties and obligations to Big Pharma, Silicon Valley, Zionism, and the real power behind Wall Street. These ties, obligations, allegiances, and debts already equal or exceed those of his 2016 "mistakes." Most notably, his VP choice (preconditioned by non-genious corporate frontman Elon Musk's endorsement of Trump) is a future "mistake."

Under Donald Trump — intended sooner or later to be under Peter Thiel* protegé J.D. Vance — the entire globalist wish list will be turbocharged. Digital/virtual border "fences" (which, people fail to realize, are not limited to keeping trespassers "out"), the enabling and taxpayer funding of Musk/Space X low-orbit 5G+ satellites as a global surveillance-and-containment system, the advancement of GMO food products, the advancement of DNA-altering non-vaccines, the advancement and government control of digital "currency" under the guise of deferring a "national debt crisis," and the advancement of pretty much whatever the Israel First lobby demands, of which The Don is a wholly owned subsidiary.

The agenda of the Democratic Party has always been collectivist; "Socialism with a Human Face" was intended and destined to become full-blown totalitarianism. An elected Harris-Walz pairing would have, with unprecedented openness and at an accelerated rate, continued to march America in that direction.

The agenda of the Republican Party, however, once thought to represent the Constitutional Republic of America, was long ago hijacked to achieve no less a totalitarian goal by more-subtle means. Whether or not that means was originally technological/ scientific/ corporate one cannot be certain, but such was being discussed and predicted more than a century ago, as was population and thought control by medical injection.

Wittingly or not, in 2024 slightly more than half of American voters chose this particular lesser of two evils — as time and events will prove.

* Peter Thiel is central not only to Donald Trump's past and future White House residency, but to the creation and deployment of a global digital prison.
