Observations of the 2024 Democratic Ticket: Political Maneuvering and Media Narratives

The Manipulators and the Servants – With Kamala Harris and Tim Walz, the Democratic Party has chosen and coronated a so-called Mainstream Ticket, according to Nancy Pelosi, the California Godmother of the Party. Pelosi has once again flexed her muscles to determine her Queen and the second-in-command, something even Mr. Obama had to consider for a week, likely negotiating his share of cabinet members to secure his legacy. He certainly succeeded with an old friend of his, a manipulator and hater in his own world . We have the donors, the few elites in the Democratic Party, and the servants, the liberal press, focusing on the facade, not the content. For the so-called moderates like Harold Ford Jr., Jessica Tarlov, or Juan Williams, they are just fine with all this, while progressives already hail the team as saviors in a relentless, nonsubstantial campaign. We don’t know exactly what we get with the ticket, but the manipulation of the public through certain media is clear. The rallies of these candidates are as shallow in substance as they are frightening. Abortion and war will be certain topics, and for some, that's all that matters.

The Kamala Harris Doctrine and Tim Walz Legacy – Will she continue Biden's course, talking to everyone with no clear strategy, or will her focus shift to human and particularly women’s rights? Will she be the tough figure who fights wars to convert people to her and the U.S. ideals of freedom, shifting from Second Amendment concerns to abortion, or as a woman of color, will she be the female Nelson Mandela? Alternatively, will her AG experience turn her into more of a Nancy Pelosi, working the inner circle (interest groups) behind the scenes? For the generic Democrats, it's more of a football game – win it, and the President is just a symbol. As long as the teleprompter works, her doctrine includes reading the same speech at every rally, with the only difference being the state she’s in. Foreign policy is anyhow run by who? At this point, it’s a fair question. India may become a favorite for her, and China might be Tim Walz’s stage – after all, he had his wedding dance there. Bernie Sanders could even become Foreign Minister, which would give us better relations with Russia, China, and India, allowing us to join the BRIC nations and ditch NATO, as this would certainly "balance" the world. NATO will expand globally under a Harris administration to counter BRIC, leading to the next true World War.

We had to chuckle at the liberal commentariat’s portrayal of Tim Walz as a political balance to Kamala Harris . Have they examined his record as Minnesota Governor? On taxes and spending, he has sought to outdo California progressives, making Illinois look like a model of fiscal discipline.

Ms. Harris is slipstreaming behind the Biden administration policies and refusing to lay out her own agenda. This makes Mr. Walz’s record as Governor over the last six years even more revealing as a window on the duo’s plans for the country.

The press is trying hard to erase any records of the two, and perhaps search engines will follow suit to "save democracy." Mr. Tim Walz fits the progressive bill, and anyone with experience in Minnesota can see the Scandinavian and German influence . Perhaps the trifecta for the Democrats, CA, NY, and MN, is an experiment, with Schumer, Pelosi, and Walz as the schemers?

For Al Gore and the Climate Activists Mr. Walz will certainly have a voice and a reference , promoting the state as a leader in the switch to renewables for CO2 emission reduction, primarily solar and wind energy. The EV rate is lower than desired, but it helps to have allies in politics when the state's tax rate is relatively high.

The sociopath from social media – Turning violent with the help of venture capital to build ultimate killing machines . Facebook and Google, once pioneers for social unity and peace, have abandoned their dream ideologies to build such machines, operated with AI and robotic systems so you can play real-life video games to kill real people. Was that their original promise? Is it not enough to manipulate the public with their algorithms? Now, dissenters might receive a drone at their homes, armed with an AR-15, labeled IRS?

Anduril is part of one of the largest shifts in the defense sector since World War II: the flow of venture-capital funding into defense-technology companies.

For decades, the U.S. government funded defense companies like Lockheed Martin to develop new weapons, ranging from stealth aircraft to spy satellites. However, private-sector money for R&D has now outstripped government spending, particularly in AI, leading to a surge of new defense startups developing technology for the Pentagon.

The amount of private capital flowing into venture-backed defense tech has surged. Investors spent at least 70% more on the sector each of the last three years than in prior years. From 2021 through mid-June 2024, venture capitalists invested $130 billion in defense-tech startups, according to PitchBook. The Pentagon spends $90 billion on R&D annually.

The Jamie Raskin's achievements include :

  • Building coalitions in Annapolis to deliver landmark legislative accomplishments, such as marriage equality and the abolition of the death penalty.
  • Passing the first Benefit Corporation law in America.
  • Advocating for marijuana law reform and the legalization of medical marijuana in Maryland.
  • Leading the fight to legalize same-sex marriage in Maryland.

Celebrating 250 years of the Army with a Parade , makes President Trump a King ? You can certainly debate if it is a good Idea, but a King, that is then called a Stratocracy , but calling Trump a Stratocrat, probably never heard.  Healthy again, well the US is probably the most obese country on the planet, and the most drug users at the same time, this is prescription only, not speaking of illegal drug, or over the counter. So give the administration some credit for cleaning out the pharmaceutical lobbyists in the vaccine advisory Group and get some independent and medical experts to decide. The new global order, with President Trump leaving the G7 summit early, without a clear statement, and a failed attempt to reinstate the G-8; (Russia is excluded since 2022) the G 6 without the US are trying their own power play with the new German Chancellor as the face and spokesperson , representing Canada and Europe, in an attempt to ridicule their standing and strengthen the BRIC coalition. Perhaps they took their advice from the Bilderberg community. But Merz, to keep his standing in Germany, must distance himself from Trump, as Trump is a person non grata in Germany . As of today, the Bilderberg Group is holding a conference at the "Grand Hôtel" in Stockholm. Under high security precautions, the elite circle has rented the entire hotel until June 15. In the German-speaking press, the discreet Bilderberg meeting has so far been remarked: nothing! The list of participants includes around 140 high-ranking personalities. Mark Rutte, (NATO Secretary General), Lars Klingbeil (Vice-Chancellor Germany), Julia Klöckner (President of the Bundestag), Christopher Donahue (US General, Commander US Army Europe and Africa), Samuel Paparo (US Admiral, Commander US Indo-Pacific Command), Albert Bourla (Chairman Pfizer), Richard Moore (Chief of British Intelligence), Sophie Wilmès (Vice-President of the EU Parliament) and numerous other actors from politics, business, science and the media will confer under strict Secrecy about big politics.

As a continuation of the summit in Helsinki , the following conference that included Presidents Bush and Gorbachev took place in November 1990 in Paris. The conference included 34 nations, each a part of the Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe (CSCE) . The conference resulted in the signing of the Conventional Armed Forces in Europe (CFE) treaty by members of NATO and the Warsaw Pact. The states of the CSCE also made arrangements to hold similar high-level political meetings regularly to build upon efforts to prevent conflict, control arms, and safeguard elections within these countries. [4] Netanyahu, Israel’s Premier, invokes the Old Testament—an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. Since Israel and its supporters portray it as the homeland of Jesus, perhaps the phrase love your enemies was forgotten when the British mandate over Palestine expired and the State of Israel was born—with official recognition from both the U.S. and USSR. With the latest escalation in the conflict and a vow to eliminate Hamas , it appears that the escalation includes the elimination of Gaza . Those unable to flee are seemingly treated as legitimate targets in what some interpret as a strategy to clear the territory for Israeli expansion. What about Trump’s plan to buy the territory and rebuild? That would involve resettling many refugees, but is that worse than killing them? Trump is turning his focus to the broader Middle East , aiming to unite the “non-violent” actors and build a peace coalition, thereby restraining Iran’s allies (presumed to have UN protection), who are often seen as the root of instability. So why are evangelicals supporting the violence —alongside the Jewish elite— while the Left and Europe begin to reconsider their stance ? Are all Palestinians terrorists? What is the true meaning of “from the River to the Sea” —a call for democracy or a religious conflict between Islam and Christianity? And then there’s the UN, watching? And the new Pope, pleading for aid —but peace talks? Only Trump? Shortly after his inauguration, Chancellor Merz made his mark on German politics by deploying permanent troops to Lithuania— you be the judge —possibly to support allies under the guise of protection. His actions won’t help global stability, and insiders in Germany do not dismiss the possibility of aggression reminiscent of WWII, now reframed under the narrative that Russia is the enemy. He will certainly support Zelensky unconditionally, using the war as justification to rebuild EU military strength. European Union leaders concluded a busy defense-focused week by endorsing a landmark plan to unlock €800 billion ($866 billion) in European military spending—though internal political divisions remain. Nelson Mandela, upon becoming South Africa’s president, emphasized moving forward together—not retaliating for the past. One reason for his divorce was reportedly that his wife had a more radical, vengeance-driven outlook, which he believed was incompatible with building a democratic society. Yes, apartheid was real, but reversing the oppression with retribution only prolongs emotional wounds. One has to ask what is just . Perhaps Trump has a point— crime is rampant . But of course, there are always two sides to a story .
