There are around 100 days until the November mid-term congressional elections and the establishment media are already frothing at their mouths with their pitiful predictions and prognostications. Why do Americans continually listen to these self-anointed electoral pundits (who speak in the name of “everyone”) when they have such a miserable track record on predicting the campaign viability of candidates? Look up the historical factual data for yourself on these past races.

In 1972, “everyone” early on predicted Edmund Muskie was the cinch Democratic presidential candidate;

In 1976, dark horse Trilateral Commission candidate Jimmy Carter astounded the pundits with his acceleration in the primaries due to massive coverage from the establishment media (while those in the know knew that “the fix” had been on from the beginning for Jimmy);

In 1980, “everyone” early on predicted GOP candidate John Connolly and Democrat Ted Kennedy were the sure things;

In 1984, Democratic candidate Gary “Where’s the Beef?” Hart was the sure thing;

In 1988, Democrat Gary Hart was again the sure thing until that “Monkey Business.” Later Democrat nominee Michael Dukakis took that infamous ride and his campaign tanked;

In 1992, “everyone” was eyeing Democrat Jerry Brown. The Bush crime family forces insurgent Ross Perot out of the presidential race because of what Perot knows about the Southeast Asian narcotics networks and missing POW cover-up leading directly to the Oval Office. In a hasty last minute effort Perot tries to reinvigorate his campaign but “the fix” was on for Democrat nominee “Slick Willie” to steal home;

In 1996, lackluster GOP Bob Dole challenged incumbent Democrat Bill Clinton (“the fix” was on for Dole to take a fall and take down all the insurgent freshmen congressmen elected in 1994 who voted for the bogus reforms of the Contract With America);

In 2000, “everyone” was touting GOP maverick John ”Tokyo Rose” McCain. But in fulfillment of the terms of George W. H. Bush’s alleged pledge to take the fall in 1992, his son and heir is anointed president by the Supreme Court in one of the most infamous and corrupt races of modern times.

For most of 2003, insurgent antiwar Democrat Howard Dean had been the apparent front-runner for the 2004 nomination, performing strongly in most polls and leading the pack in fund-raising. Then over a span of a few days his candidacy was destroyed by the most intense mainstream media barrage in history, leaving John Kerry as the establishment’s anointed;

In 2008, “everyone” early on asserted Rudy Giuliani was the sure thing for the GOP, while Democrat front runner Hillary Clinton was upended by the unknown dark-horse Barack Obama. GOP candidate Ron Paul was shamefully marginalized, treated with disdain and contempt, or ignored in one of the most disgraceful and despicable episodes in American political history;

In 2012, Ron Paul, the GOP candidate with the largest grass-roots base of enthusiastic supporters and the most phenomenal online campaign funding abilities in history in raising millions in his celebrated “money bombs,” was again sabotaged in state after state and his campaign destroyed by the GOP elite who hated, feared, and loathed his insurgent candidacy, placing the lackluster corporatist Mitt Romney as the nominee.

And leading up to 2016, Jeb Bush was lauded by “everyone” as the new crown prince and heir apparent of the Dynasty. But out of the vile GOP wilderness of neocons, nabobs, and neanderthals, emerged Donald Trump. The Democrats (after sabotaging the insurgent Bernie Sanders), joined the Never-Trump GOP cohort, and the establishment media and its menagerie of presstitutes and regime stenographers in unabashedly and openly being ensconced in the hip pocket of Hillary Clinton’s pants suit.

All in all, triumphs for the deep state and the party oligarchs it enables.
