Regime Change USA? Never Say Never

First, let me be specific about what I mean here by “regime change”. I simply mean a transition of power in government that takes place in what amounts to an unprecedented way. I’m not saying this will happen for sure, but I want to get these ideas out—or repeat them, because I’ve raised some of them before—ahead of events. Because it does appear to me that there are signals of unusual systemic stress in our body politic.

It should be clear that the governance of this country is a mess. Polling captures this in the usual “right direction wrong direction question.” Overwhelming majorities of respondents believe the country is headed in the “wrong direction.” If you correlate that with election polling, the issues that lead them to that conclusion are pretty comprehensive: economic pain, fear of crime, concern about the flood of illegals entering the country. And more—cultural issues such as the Woke agendas (gender, race, etc.) being foisted, especially, on school children are also resonating with the general population. Trust in government—if measured by the refusal to get injected with Covid boosters or to allow one’s children to be shot up with experimental Covid meds—is at an all time low.

All of these issues are closely identified with Zhou regime policies and the Dem party more generally. It’s gotten so bad that even jokesters like Bill Maher and Barry Obama are speaking out about how out of touch Dems are. For someone like Obama to speak in that way just weeks before the Midterms is fairly amazing. But it takes a lot to amaze us these days.

Americans are so bummed by the domestic situation that few are actually following foreign policy matters. So few, in fact, that even an establishment animal like Kevin McCarthy is openly stating that Republicans will be closely questioning any further “aid” to Ukraine. Kevin obviously has no concern at all that public statements like that will get in the way of him grabbing the Speaker’s gavel. In fact, he has good reason to believe that revealing this policy switch now will be an advantage for GOP candidates. Tulsi entering the campaign on the GOP side, on exactly that issue, is another indicator.

That should be a clue that insiders know—oh, yes, they know—how badly our war on Russia is going. They see Russia gearing up for something big, and they know we’re at the end of our tether for practical purposes. The flow of weaponry to Ukraine is slowing simply because we’re running out of things to send. Our insiders know just how bad Ukrainian casualties and equipment loss has been.

That still hasn’t got through to our elite war mongering Neocons, who still have their hands on the levers of power. Not content with declaring war on Russia, they have now declared war on China. And Turkey and Saudi Arabia are now being openly threatened by these crazies, while the WEF—seemingly oblivious to the unfolding chaos in Europe—is engaging in regime change in the UK, probably in Italy, and is also threatening Poland and Hungary. NATO is likely to come apart at the seams, and our network of alliances is unraveling around much of the world. Here’s a clue in that regard: Israel recently refused to even speak with the Ukrainian defense minister. For Israel, living in a rough neighborhood, being on the winning side of this conflict is close to an existential issue. Even if this isn’t an open bet against the US, it’s certainly a hedge. The Israelis also know how bad the war on Russia is going and they also see Russia using diplomacy to peel former US “allies” away from the US. Israel can’t afford to be isolated.

Then there’s our crony war monger, the UK. The UK’s finances are in a “catastrophic” shambles (quoting Alex Mercouris). They are in no position to continue a war on Russia. The UK has no choice but to cut defense spending. Could that have been one of the topics that Ben Wallace discussed on his crash trip to DC—just ahead of the now ensuing regime change chaos?

Our military is surely aware of all of the above—and more. They know that our preparedness is suffering. Our naval preparedness is reported to be deplorable. We’ve given away large amounts of weaponry that has even been stripped from active duty units, which will take months or even years to replace. Our woke military is suffering from recruiting shortfalls—as any normal person could have predicted—and those recruits entering are of low quality. It’s a disaster so large that Congress is becoming alarmed.

So, with all that in mind, what are we seeing in our politics, beyond a looming disaster for a regime that richly deserves the whupping the polls say it’s about to receive?

Start with Obama’s statement, above. Then move on to the NYT story that reveals—to absolutely nobody’s surprise—that Jill is largely running the show at the White House. Every day brings some new and appalling spectacle from the hapless Zhou, and now the NYT wants the country to know that his unelected wife is pushing people around at the center of things. That’s official, then. That puts us officially in 25th Amendment territory—in other words, regime change territory. Ah, but it’s not that easy, is it? We’ve gone into that before.

But moving on. Try this one out:

Top Democratic Senator Admits Biden's $1.9 Trillion Fiscal Package Was Too Big

Democratic Senator Mark Warner admitted that President Joe Biden's $1.9 trillion pandemic relief package was too big, and that the Federal Reserve took too long to raise interest rates.

"Was there too much in the American Rescue Plan on a relative basis? Absolutely," said Warner, who chairs the Senate Intelligence Committee while speaking with Bloomberg Television.

Note a couple of things. Obviously, the buck stops in the Oval Office, even if Zhou is too preoccupied with his next pudding or chocalate chip cone to pay attention to anything that doesn’t affect him personally. Then, Warner is saying that the Fed should have raised rates sooner. That’s pretty disingenuous, since the better solution would have been not spend all that money in the first place, so the Fed wouldn’t have had to monetize it. Still, this is a big, big, shift from official Dem Fed bashing over interest rates.

Why should we care what Warner says? After all, he’s not chair of the Senate Committee on Finance. Ah, but he is chair of the Intel Committee, and that means he’s a key member of the Gang of Eight—which is at the heart of the SGUSA, the Secret Government of the USA. I guarantee you that the Gang of Eight is briefed on the possibility of something approach an economic collapse. These are people who will be intimately involved in regime change if it comes. And Warner is clearly concerned. He and his fellow Gangstas can’t be reassured by the situation in the White House.

Now, how about this:

These business titans are sounding the alarm over the US economy

Musk, Bezos, Dimon among prominent CEOs warning of recession

Sounding the alarm—over “relentless inflation, but you know they’re banding together and going public because of disillusion with the regime. One after the other they discuss the economy and its prospects in terms that are little short of apocalyptic:

Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon:

turbulent waters ahead … more volatility … a really difficult economic scenario … a decade-long scenario? I don’t know. The policy decisions we make from here will have an impact."

Does that mean we need someone new to make those policy decisions?

Amazon founder and CEO Jeff Bezos:

batten down the hatches

Elon Musk:

humanity could be "in trouble" if [oil and gas] exploration is curtailed

Jamie Dimon, chief executive officer of JPMorgan Chase:

brace for an economic "hurricane,"

Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai

the "toughest macroeconomic conditions" over the past decade as it tries to prepare for the possibility of a so-called hard landing.

It all amounts to a perfect economic, political, military, and foreign policy storm. Also an economic perfect storm—oh, wait, I just said that, didn’t I?

The 800 pound gorilla on the national stage, who may drive the Secret Government to regime change, remains Donald Trump. The ruling class isn’t ready to surrender power to anybody, and least of all to Trump—they are scared sh*tless of what Trump could unleash on them in a second administration. Then again, while they sure aren’t friends of Donald, neither are they friends of Zhou. The Devil and the Deep Blue Sea, from their point of view—in no particular order. The dilemma is that, at this point, Trump 2.0 is beginning to look possibly inevitable. How to stop him is the question that must be occupying the Secret Government as well as “business titans”.

For reasons I’ve gone into in the past, I believe the only solution is for the Dems to do a deal with the GOP—with the approval of the Secret Government. That’s not as unrealistic as it may sound. After all, the establishment GOP was totally complicit in the coup against Trump, all the way through Election 2020. The Dems owe the GOP bigtime, and it’s not the GOP’s fault that the Dems pushed forward the hapless Zhou as their candidate (well, not entirely their fault). The real problem is that the state of affairs demands action sooner rather than later. That, and the GOP, which is probably set to enjoy a Red Wave election, is is the driver’s seat. Having given away the White House to the Dems, they have no reason not to demand the White House back. Yes, you read that right.

As before, I believe both impeachment and the 25th Amendment are off the table. Yes, I know that there have been growing rumblings that seemingly point toward a possible impeachment or the 25th, but the problem with either of those approaches is that they lead to either Kama Sutra or Pelosi in the White House. I strongly doubt that either of those alternatives would be any more acceptable to “business titans” at this point than they would be to the GOP. What’s the alternative?

The only alternative I can think of is a forced resignation of both Zhou and Kama Sutra—but there’s more. If the Secret Government believes they can wait until the new Congress convenes, all is fine. A Republican will be in place to step in as President when Zhou and Kama Sutra are forced to resign. But that’s a long way off. The solution would be to put a Republican in place as Speaker of the House immediately after the Midterms make it official that there will be a GOP House. Yes, you’d need to get Pelosi to step down earlier than scheduled and turn the Speakership over to a Republican. The talking point for that would be that the Dems cannot afford two more years of Zhou, and that a Pelosi presidency would be viewed as utterly illegitimate by the bulk of the country. And by the ruling class, which knows her for what she is.

There’s another problem with Pelosi stepping in. That would leave the biggest problem unresolved—how to thwart Trump. If anything, that would put a Trump campaign on steroids. How to prevent Trump 2.0?

The Constitution specifies regarding the Speaker:

“The House of Representatives shall choose their speaker and other officers;”

While this has never happened before, most scholars believe that there is no requirement that the Speaker be an elected Congresscritter. If Pelosi were to step down or aside, a Republican could be elected by agreement, and could then step into the Oval Office. The real question then would become, what Republican? Could just any Republican fit the bill? Because, remember, the bill includes being someone who could thwart Trump’s ambitions yet also be credible with the public. I’m not a member of the ruling class, but my gut tells me that no Representative or Senator would fit that bill. A caretaker simply wouldn’t be good enough in our current crisis, nor would a caretaker fit the bill as someone who could thwart Trump.

That’s as far as I’ll go with my speculation. It may sound wild, but we’ve been in constitutionally uncharted waters for decades, now, and we’re facing foreign policy disasters that are totally unprecedented. Ask yourself: How long can the current situation continue?
