[Peace-discuss] My concern today

[C. G. Estabrook]

Definitely 'an interesting juncture.’ How I would bet it: 

the Clintonite (cf. ‘Trotskyite’) DNC will be able to turn back Sanders’ bid - with a combination of Bloomberg, Buttigieg, Biden, the “intelligence community,’ and Sanders’ health - and nominate someone else (anyone else, perhaps even Hillary as VP), who will lose to Trump in the general election - setting the stage for Russiagate/Impeachment 2.0, now based on a charge of treason - and the emergence of what Brzezinski called ‘peer competitors’ (Russia & China) in Eurasia. 

The US military & IC, having been thwarted in Afghanistan and Syria, will be at least interested spectators. Perhaps an international emergency (coronavirus pandemic? climate catastrophe?) will provide an excuse for ‘extraordinary measures’.

The real emergency of course is the rising of the international populist wave. The one-percent and their agents can’t walk away from that. —CGE

Impeccably-credentialed Establishment Dems such as Terry McAuliffe, David Plouffe, and Ben Rhodes have said recently that if Bernie gets the most delegates, he should be the nominee. Other people are saying something different. How will it all turn out? Are you sure you know in advance?
