Is 2024 a repeat of 1968? Sure looks like it to me. Let’s examine the parallels.
Seymour Hersh is a reporter who was recruited in late 1967 to handle the press and write speeches for Democrat Senator Eugene McCarthy of Minnesota. McCarthy sought the Democratic presidential nomination in the 1968 election, challenging incumbent Lyndon B. Johnson on an anti-Vietnam War platform. McCarthy unsuccessfully ran for U.S. president four more times.
Hersh is one of the few journalists with reliable sources on the inside of the Democrat party. In other words, what I’m writing in this newsletter has pretty much been confirmed by Hersh - so you know it’s true.
HERSH: On Monday, July 15, two days after the swamp FAILED to assassinate President Trump, Biden took off on Air Force One on a campaign trip to Nevada and gave the keynote address to the annual convention of the NAACP. The next day, Team Biden made a police escort race to Air Force One after initially telling police they were heading to the nearest ER.
At that point, Biden was “deathly pale” and Air Force One flew at maximum speed to Delaware, where Biden has a weekend retreat at the beach. The press pool was told that Biden had COVID. Nothing more was said on Air Force One. The White House told the public that Biden had contracted COVID and would be in isolation.
That was the last straw for a core group of big Democrat donors who were withholding huge amounts of money from the Biden-Harris campaign.
There was pressure on Democrat donors to come across on their pending commitments. They all knew that Biden had some kind of physical problem in Las Vegas and the Biden family was saying no to continued pressure to withdraw.
By Saturday, July 20, Obama became involved, and there was talk that he would place a call to Biden to tell him to step down.
It was not clear whether Biden had been examined or just what happened to him in Las Vegas. The call from Obama to Biden was approved by the “Big Three” - former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries.
On Sunday morning, July 21, with the approval of Pelosi, Jeffries and Schumer, Obama called Biden after breakfast and said, “Here’s the deal. We have Kamala’s approval to invoke the 25th Amendment.”
The 25th Amendment provides that when the president is determined by the vice president and others to be unfit to carry out the powers and duties of his office, the vice president shall assume those duties.
It was clear at this point that Kamala would get the nod from the leaders of the Democrat party - that is, the support to replace Biden in the run for the presidency in the November election. But Obama also made it clear that he was not going to immediately endorse her. She needed to prove herself or she would be replaced also at the convention.
A key factor in the decision to force Biden out of office was his terrible performance in his debate with Trump on June 27, 2024 and his negative polls. The downward slope was increasing. The assassination attempt against Trump was increasingly being tied to Biden’s team and a last ditch attempt to win the Presidency in 2024. It also painted Trump as courageous and a hero - and Biden as weak and feeble - which the Democrats hate.
Given Biden’s obvious decline in recent months, it is impossible for most to understand why Biden’s staff in the White House agreed for him to do ANY debates with Donald Trump before the election. But they did it, on purpose. If Biden performed well, as he had in his State of the Union speech in March, the issue of his mental capacity would be tabled and the big donors would be appeased. If not, he would be removed and replaced. BIDEN FAILED.
Obama was the strongman throughout the negotiations to remove Biden after the debate and the failed assassination attempt. Obama had an agenda and wanted to have control over who would be elected.
After Biden stepped down and Biden endorsed Harris, Obama and his wife announced their endorsement of Harris and told her, over the phone in a staged TV event, that they would do all they could to campaign for her and to support her.
Trump revealed that Obama & Biden hate each other and Obama wants Kamala in - because he can control her.
Not one of Biden’s key aides ever said one word to the big donors about the extent of Biden's disabilities prior to his revelatory debate with Trump last month. Pelosi was the only one who told Biden there will be no second term—something no one in the White House apparently saw fit to do.
Will Biden follow the playbook of Lyndon B. Johnson, who on March 31, 1968, told a stunned nationwide television audience that he would not run for re-election? Is 2024 a repeat of 1968? It sure looks like it so far. In fact, it looks like we’ve been living 1968 for the past 4 years.
Hersh says that Kamala desperately wanted Biden’s job and has been working hard with many in the media to push the notion that it is time for a woman - especially a “woman of color” - to serve as president. Harris wanted a white male from a swing state to be her VP - someone with good debating skills that could lend credibility - and allegedly asked Mark Kelly, Josh Shapiro and Andy Beshear to run with her. Either they declined or the polls showed they would not help her prevail.
She ended up choosing Governor Tim Walz - from Minnesota - although nobody knows for sure if he was the only one who would agree to run with her. There’s much negative to say about Walz and his past - but he is a true Communist - just like Kamala - and a favorite of the far-left progressive caucus. Loomer believes he is a gay pedophile and she can prove it. We shall see.
I’m from Minnesota and I know how Walz totally destroyed that state - along with Islamo-Communists Keith Ellison and Ilhan Omar.
STEPHEN MILLER: Kamala chose as her VP a Communist guilty of stolen valor who gave tampons to elementary school boys. Wacko Walz.
It was agreed that if Kamala’s polls didn’t show her gaining traction over Biden before the Democrat convention, other options would be considered, including an open convention. Now you know why the fake news NEEDS to give Kamala positive polls. That’s why you can’t believe any of them.
The top issue now from the Democrats is to make sure that Biden does not decide immediately to abdicate the office of President and turn it over to Harris prematurely.
“We want him to stay in office until January 20, 2025, when the new president is sworn in. Does Biden has the strength to stay to the end? Kamala thinks she’s a solid candidate.”
The real disgrace is not only Biden’s, but those of the men and women around him who have kept him under wraps. He has rapidly diminished over the past six months. The increasing isolation of Biden on foreign policy issues has been in part the doing of Tom Donilon, who was a national security adviser for the Obama-Biden administration from 2010 to 2013, and who wanted to be named Biden's Director of the CIA.
What now? The Democrat Party is facing a crisis on many fronts. Many insiders are saying that the Democrats need to accept reality, that 2024 is likely beyond recovery at this point and they should plan and execute a long-term plan to counter President Trump and build a moderate platform for the future. Whatever the fake polls say - the only one that really matters is consumer confidence about the economy. 75% of the nation believe Team Biden-Harris-Obama are on the WRONG TRACK.
RASMUSSE: Every mainstream pollster mysteriously stopped polling national numbers on 8/4. Meaning, they are rigging the results to make Kamala look better than she is.
How do Democrats rig the polls? They skew the sample base in favor of liberals.
Other pundits suggest that the Democrats should do what they can to completely destroy the economy, border and national security before Trump takes office so they can paint Trump as Herbert Hoover before the next Great Depression so they can later rush in to “save” America from the mess the Democrats themselves created. Trump has said that himself.
PRESIDENT TRUMP: “The fact is, we’re probably heading into a Great Depression, something I’ve never said before publicly. The choice in this election is between a [Biden-Harris] economic bust – and it’s going to happen and it’s going to be ugly – or a Trump economic boom.
Under [Biden-Harris] the Marxists, fascists and Communists are not just tearing down statues. They’re tearing down our economy. They’re dismantling our borders, they’re destroying our laws. They’re looting our middle class and mutilating our children. We can’t let that happen. I’m not going to be Herbert Hoover. We need to stop that sucker.”
So far, Trump’s predictions have ALL come true. I believe this one will too.
Others suggest that Biden should stand up and speak out and take back the nomination that was stolen from him by Obama-Harris-Pelosi-Schumer. President Trump says there is a silent movement to do just that. Hmm. I thought Democrats say that nobody steals elections? They not only steal them from the Republicans - they steal them from themselves!
Some Democrats believe they can “remake” the party quickly before 2028:
“This is the age of social media—TikTok, Facebook, Instagram, and X—and a new political strategy can go very far very fast.”
There is serious concern among the Democrat Party leadership and the major Democratic fundraisers, primarily the big donors in New York City, about their ability to defeat Trump in November and they want the Democrat Party to do something drastic, and unprecedented, before the November election. That means “flood the zone” with all kinds of craziness. That means nothing is off the table.
What does all this have to do with 1968? Let’s look at what happened back then:
The 1968 Democratic National Convention was held August 26–29, 1968 in Chicago, Illinois. The 2024 Democrat National Convention will be held August 19-22, 2024 in Chicago.
Earlier that year incumbent President Lyndon B. Johnson had announced he would not seek reelection. So did Biden.
The convention of 1968 was held during a year of riots, political turbulence, and mass civil unrest. Same with 2024. The 1968 convention followed the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. and the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy, a candidate in the Democrat primary. The Democrat convention of 2024 follows the attempted assassination of President Trump.
The Democrat Party, which controlled the House, the Senate, and the White House in 1968, was divided. Senator Eugene McCarthy entered the campaign in November 1967, challenging incumbent President Lyndon Johnson for the Democrat nomination. Senator Robert F. Kennedy entered the race in March 1968.
After Johnson dropped out, Kennedy was the likely nominee. But, Kennedy's assassination paved the way for Johnson to replace himself with his favorite - the pro-war Hubert Humphrey from Minnesota. Kamala Harris just picked Walz from Minnesota as VP.
DO YOU SEE ALL THE PARALLELS? REMEMBER, MINNESOTA IS THE BIRTHPLACE OF COMMUNISM IN AMERICA. THERE’S A REASON SO MANY PROGRESSIVES EMERGE FROM THERE. THERE’S A REASON THEY PICKED MINNESOTA TO KICK OFF THE COMMUNIST COUP OF AMERICA using patsies like George Floyd & Derek Chauvin.
Humphrey was later defeated in the 1968 presidential election by the "silent majority" Republican ticket of Richard Nixon and Spiro Agnew. The nation had enough of the Democrats. Same thing is happening today. TRUMP is on his way to a landslide victory - that is if we all vote and overcome the cheat.
BTW - four years after Nixon won in a landslide - the swamp took him out with the fake scandal called Watergate. The coup against Trump is a repeat of the coup again Nixon. I reported that fact six years ago and Tucker just proved me right!
The progressives (Communists) in the Democrat party are being voted out. People have had enough of the craziness.
The markets are gyrating - trying to understand what the future holds. Stay frosty. It ain't over yet. The financial guru on Alex Jones believes they will crash the market 20-30% in October and then hand the mess over to President Trump to fix. I agree. That's what happens when the swamp knows they are going to lose.
Will they let Trump win and then use that to paint him as Herbert Hoover so they can try to make a comeback in 2028? That's my guess.
I've been predicting for a while that we were headed for another Great Depression. There's no other way it ends for Bidenomics. Their policies were intended to destroy our economy.
It looks like they can't hide the real numbers any longer. They are calling this one the KAMALACRASH. Remember how the scammers used mortgage-back securities to inflate the market the last time before they crashed it? Well, this time they are using the Japanese Yen (carry-trade) in the same way…
BUT - each one of these seemingly tragic events reveals, to me, part of God’s larger plan. A step-by-step awakening…
President Trump on the assassination attempt against him and the bullet that missed his brain by 1/4 of an inch:
PRESIDENT TRUMP: "That was really something. That was really something incredible. That was from God. What are the chances? That was a close one. That was from God. For all of you non-believers, that one was from God."
SCOTT ADAMS: “It seems like God has chosen him. I don't know if that's true, but it looks like it. Do you know how many coincidences or events it takes before somebody who doesn't even, I'm not even a believer, but even I think it looks like God has chosen Trump. It's getting harder and harder to deny at this point.”
This is no longer a conspiracy. It's very very true. Even non-believers are starting to respect the power and miracles of God.
Even non-believers are starting to understand that the New World Order is controlled by Satanic pedophiles and this is indeed a battle between good and evil. It’s time to choose a side. Darkness or Light.
I agree with this. If you’re still afraid to speak out because of what your friends or family or co-workers might say - stop being silent because you're afraid of being called names by people who really don't like you anyway. Just do the next right thing. IF NOT US, WHO? Every time you speak out - you plant a seed.
I have learned that in every article and every podcast there is one paragraph or one statement that's worth remembering - and the rest is waste or fill. Most people don't have time to read an article that takes an hour or watch a podcast for two hours. So, they don't do it at all.
If you really want to help your fellow citizens spread the truth and learn the truth - help them narrow down the important stuff. That's what I try to do. I take hours of material and reduce it down to a ten minute read.
You can do the same. When you watch a podcast or a news show or read an article - pull out the MOST important statement or fact in that article and include it at the top of your share. That way - if they choose NOT to watch it or read it at least they will walk away with new knowledge.
I get hundreds of emails everyday from people who send me links and tell me to watch what they send. Unfortunately, I don't have that much time. It would be helpful if you simply told me the most important thing you learned from that podcast. The best way to learn is to teach it to others! Frankly, if you can't tell me what you learned - you need to watch it or read it again!
That’s my tip for the day. We only have three months until the most important election of our lifetimes. We need to consolidate and educate! Hugs and Love, Peg
