Business As Usual Elite Washington Insiders Behind
Attempted Demo Dean Demolition? After GWB Too?
"I don't usually go in for conspiracy theories because believing in
them takes away personal power...and we sure need a
trust-buster like TR, but...here goes, Kerry has been picked by
not only the DNC, but also by the powers behind the power --
the long tradition of Skull and Bones, the ultimate in power-lust
fraternity.
Did it seem strange that the Repubs have been trying to destroy
Dean? We've all interpreted that as fearing Dean and wanting to
run against Kerry because they thought he'd be easier to beat.
They fear Dean, that's true, and is why they tried to destroy his
candidacy. He is a fiscally conservative centrist with the most
radical of ideas -- he thinks that the government should benefit
the common people, not only the elites. He's been going around
telling crowds that they can take their country back, for god's
sake!!
But here's the rub. The S&B elites don't intend for GWB to beat
Kerry, they expect Kerry to be the next POTUS! He's fittingly
elite, has been for generations. Certainly identifies with the
lobbyists, corporate titans, and landed gentry. He won't threaten
their interests any more than GWB would. But GWB has gone
too far. He has surrounded himself with lunatics and actually
followed their counsel. The real powers at the reins have decided
they need get rid of him before he makes even more of a mess.
That's why AT ALL COSTS Dean could not be allowed to take
the Democratic nomination. Because the Boy King must go.
Think about it. As a campaign, [Dean has] not done everything
perfectly, but this mind-boggling, earth-moving polar shift
underneath [his] feet has been almost surreal. The DNC alone
could not have orchestrated it. They are too incompetent. It has
been a piling on of the media, the DNC and the RNC.
The RNC was behind the Club for Growth ad, planted an
operative in Sharpton's campaign who mainly attacked Dean,
and now that the $$ disclosures are out, it seems that there was
some Repub money in the Americans for Jobs and Healthcare
ads.
The barrage by the media has been documented. (Now that the
damage has been done, they are even starting to apologize.)
I think Dean and...campaign were sucker punched. (There was
even some talk by the Gephardt folks that they felt they'd been
used to destroy Dean and were destroyed themselves in the
process -- with aforethought.)
Here's the way it worked. First, under the radar the media plants
the seeds of the Dean image, the angry man ready to go over the
edge at any moment. And they waited for the moment to call it
out, which the IA speech afforded them. In the meantime, they
started to cover the phenom -- the grassroots donations, the
internet campaign (it was ALWAYS the Internet, NEVER the
candidate, if you remember), the unstopability, the inevitability.
At the same time, Kerry is described as unable to find a voice,
floundering, his campaign going no where.
So now they've set up the image of the strong and the weak. The
Dean media strategy was a conventional wisdom one. Come in
with big guns, saturate the media in the first primaries, win big,
and wrap it all up. Don't give the others time to take hold. In the
process spending is no problem, because a winner will bring in
more funds. A safe strategy when it appeared that there was no
competition on the horizon. But financially destabilizing if the are
equally viable candidates.
Then comes the Osama ad, the Club for Growth, back to VT ad,
the WAY unbalanced negative media. At the same time here
comes Kerry to Iowa, with a campaign that for months couldn't
get off the ground, no effective message, and over night he's the
frontrunner? What happened here?
The "electibility" message fabricated from clouds by the media.
And importantly, the Democratic party machine stepped into the
void that Terry McAuliffe had so carefully crafted with his
phony "neutral" speech. Kerry bought the loyalty of precinct
captains all over Iowa who delivered the vote."
