Barack Hussein Obama was spot on 10/30/08 when he pronounced that fateful pronouncement: “We are 5 days from fundamentally changing the United States of America”. While the audience went wild, it wasn’t the result of deep analytical thought. With the cult of personality surrounding Obama, a hearty fart would have gotten a Standing O. Of course, that particular function was reserved for his then Vice President. “But even then, the words “fundamentally transform” should have alarmed everyone. We Americans generally don’t do fundamental transformation. We make changes, yes, small and large, but who among us — other than the most radical revolutionaries — actually want to fundamentally transform the nation?” (Paul Kengor)
What Kangor failed to add was “eventually”.
Until now.
When America didn’t “fundamentally change” within weeks after his inauguration, Obama’s vaunted prognostication was blown off as typical political bloviating.
Indeed, it was a gradual process with more players than just the Obama administration. As of this writing, 30 days shy of 15 years later that “fundamental change” is upon us. All the parts, persons, policies, and particulars are in place. The only question left to answer: What will it be…
…if Trump wins?
…if Trump loses?
There are 4 realistic possibilities, only one of which will face us the morning after Nov.5
1- Nothing happens. Voting goes off without a hitch. Jaded polls predicting ‘tight” aside, Trump wins in a landslide, dwarfing Reagan’s victory; America sighs a huge sigh of relief. The Biden-Harris-Walz nightmare is Past Tense. Of course, anyone who believes this will happen has rightfully earned the title, “Polly Anna, the Queen of Naïveté.”
2-Trump Wins. Democrats immediately challenge the vote in every state Trump wins and demand a re-count. Inflammatory comments from elected ‘officials’ and unelected media pundits blow their dog whistles and chaos breaks out across America. The rioters are conditioned MSNBC-CNN viewers, aggressively ignorant liberals, opportunistic minorities who never pass up a chance for free shopping, the terminally addicted and self-lobotomized TDS clodpolls; firepower will be supplied by the cells of South American gangs, ‘fit military age’ illegal migrants, imbedded in small-medium markets across the country, brought in for just this mission: create chaos. Local law enforcement will be overwhelmed. Citizens, acting out of patriotism and self-defense will get caught up in the mayhem. Accurate reporting on the carnage will be impossible. Certification of a Trump win will be postponed “for national safety reasons”. Current Biden-Harris policies will remain in effect (Ukraine, Middle East, Taiwan, and Southern Border); the military and National Guard will be so hard-pressed to restore law and order, UN troops will be brought in. Facing a Trump win, restoring the peace will not be a priority for the Biden Administration. Chaos will continue to buy the cover long enough for votes to be altered to reverse the Trump victory. (The MSM maintaining “polls” confirming a “tight race” reduces the number of altered votes required). Response to this obvious election skullduggery will be continued chaos. As fellow Substacker T.L. Davis noted recently “Chaos is the cover action for necessary deeds.”
The Constitution and Bill of Rights will be suspended; martial law will be imposed along with national curfews and lockdowns. Only after the Harris-Walz administration is sworn in will the Constitution be incrementally “restored’, curfew and lockdowns lifted in the Blue States first, re-igniting the chaos. The Red States will continue to have restrictions imposed similar to post-Civil War Reconstruction until authorities determine news systems with limited rights are in place. Further alterations to the former “American way of life” will be revealed intermittently as determined by Federal authorities. Media coverage will be restricted to government-approved scripts similar to previous wartime levels.
America, the Republic, will have been fundamentally changed to a hybrid system with consequences to be learned later.
3- Trump Loses. The RNC will immediately challenge the vote in every state Trump loses. It will demand certification of the vote be delayed until pending cases are adjudicated; immediate suspension of the vote tally with ballots preserved in secure locations. Republican efforts will be decimated by the MSM. Liberal federal judges will refuse GOP demands. Chaos similar to the above will ensue with liberal factions noted above described as ‘patriots’ fighting MAGA insurrectionists. Local and State law enforcement departments, assisted by the federalized National Guard will be the local authority. The Constitution and Bill of Rights will be suspended indefinitely. Looting will be rampant but worse in Red States where property and business owners will be arrested for defending their interests or themselves. All participants, including “militia” and “self-defense” pleadings will be overruled, and charged with human rights violations or insurrection similar to J6 prisoners; habeas corpus will be suspended. All crimes will be deemed Federal offenses requiring mandatory maximum sentencing. Trump and Vance will be arrested, charged with treason, and incarcerated along with high-profile supporters, elected and unelected. Media coverage will be monitored and censored; social media platform content will be administered by Federal officials who will suppress all postings of fact contrary to the approved narrative. Those with a history of pro-Trump/anti-Harris posts will be sought out and arrested. Every other restriction mentioned above (#1) will be imposed until further notice.
The Republic, formerly known as America, will have been fundamentally changed.
4- There is no election. False flags, Black Swans, Pandemics, “unexpected” developments in Ukraine/Russia, the Middle East, China/Taiwan, a successful assassination, or any combination will suspend the election. The Biden-Harris administration suspends the Constitution and Bill of Rights, with Election Day TBA. The details of any of these possibilities would determine whether there would even be a “next election”.
Remember, the mission is to create chaos across the country as the excuse to adjust the votes, maintain Democratic Party power, and institute a formal system of UniParty governance. The Supreme Court will be packed. Lawfare will be the operating policy across the land, ensuring a Liberal administration TFN.
What will it be?
Some will contend there are other possibilities. Invariably, these will rely on hypotheticals burdened with “But’s” and “If’s” that begin the non-stop debate of Probabilities and Statistics. Having napped through most of those classes, that raises its specter of weeds, fog, and rabbit holes that draw attention away from the unarguable simplicity of facts.
Some will suffer from cognizant dissonance, unable to deny the logical possibility of events while unable to accept the probability of the results.
This is understandable. As I noted in a recent article, the evil actions of the government are shocking only long enough for MSM repetition and Hollywood stories to make the evil acceptable and comfortable. The COVID lockdowns, curfews, mandates, and deaths remain painful memories but only until the next unanticipated and unfathomable atrocity. Current events playing out in North Carolina, Florida and Appalachia are coming to light as the MSM ignores full coverage of allegations of FEMA’s obstruction of private citizen and charity assistance extending the disaster already scared with the tragedies of missing people and lost lives. (Details and Links).
Millions of Americans know something is very wrong, but most won’t climb the drop-ladder to the attic to investigate. Like some attics, truth and facts can be too scary to go there. But fear of the unknown - but knowable - fortifies the ignorance that breeds fear in the first place.
America is circling the drain and its downward spiral will continue. Too many refuse to give it serious consideration. They’re waiting for Trump’s election to resolve all problems and settle all scores. And with so many attractive, non-threatening distractions, that could be understandable. Yet it blinds one to the fact nothing is more dangerous than the failure to grab reality, past and present which gives a glimpse into the future.
“Rumors that Iran is targeting Donald Trump are likewise an excuse, a built-in boogieman to excuse their unlawful and violent behavior toward the ruling regime’s greatest enemy. The only enemy to the regime greater than Trump is you, the American citizen; not as hyperbole, but as a clear statement of fact, one they will acknowledge openly if you listen and can translate their quite clumsy code-speech. If they succeed in making the Average American a villain, as they’re trying so desperately to do, they will not hesitate to kill us all. More likely, they will nod in satisfaction as the terrorists they imported themselves do their dirty work for them”. (T.L. Davis) (Also)
While the meticulously micro-managed “polls” continue their “tight as a tick” refrain to stoke the nail-biting anxiety across the country, the coming election has made one thing glaringly obvious even to the neighborhood's most fog-bound, hobbled intellects. Those in government, elected, appointed, or just plain hired, those who run it at all levels are in love with the Power. It is their infatuation, the elixir of elixirs, the Love Potion #9 for those psychologically bent personalities irresistibly attracted to it. The higher in the ranks, the more passionate and tenacious it grows until it is insatiable and absolute. While we know “absolute power corrupts absolutely’, it also breeds absolute arrogance. In the hands of those with that level of power, the results are more dangerous than many can imagine even when it’s right in their face.
The U.S. government used to call itself “The Leader of the Free World.” Actually, it was the head of a federated global empire held together by the usual imperial glue. “A semi-free republic became an unfree national security state, run by a Deep State cabal many of us have come to know—at least its contours—and despise”. (Robert Gore)
So, in 30 days, what will it be?
Years ago I wrote, “Time is the sole arbiter between Prescience and Paranoia.” I thought that put predictive dialogue in a proper perspective.
With Possibility #3 impossible and #4 unknowable, that leaves #1 or #2, both equally destructive to Liberty; Life and Happiness will not go untouched.
Time will reveal the answer in 30 days.

Thanks for reading this far.
Jim Bovard is scheduled to return Wed, 10/9 to discuss the FEMA/Helene controversy. Join us.
It's scary for sure.
Unfortunately, my friend, you have nailed it. Your scenarios make dystopia look good.
