December 2nd, is when Washington arrived at Trenton and commenced the surprise and difficult journey which would seal the American victory in our revolutionary war. Trump's "surprise" is not crossing the Delaware. Instead it is doing what he said he would do.
President Trump has just announced a bold plan to stem the deadly flood of fentanyl and illegal migrants into our country. As part of his initiative, he's vowed to impose stiff tariffs on Mexican, Chinese and Canadian goods until they stop flooding these deadly substances into our borders.
They are at it again. The same crowd that war-gamed the events which unfolding during the 2020 election and on January 6, has just conducted a series of simulations to undermine Donald Trump as the 47th President of the United States. Trump is way ahead of them with his choice of JD Vance and the 2024 Republican party platform, and so are we. Join us at Promethean Action and you will be too.
Transcript: The Midweek Update - Trump's Platform Can Outflank Their War Games - July 31, 2024
Susan Kokinda: [00:00:00] Hello everybody. Today is July 31st and this is Susan Kokinda with your Midweek Update. Today, I'm going to look at how the elites are already engaged in war games to stop Trump 47, should they fail to keep him from winning the presidency, obviously also what they're doing to try to keep him and J. D. Vance out of the White House, and how we outflank all of that.
I want to encourage viewers to go to Promethean Action's website and sign up because outflanking is what we are known for. Of course, the Biden and now Harris mantra being pushed endlessly against Donald Trump is that he is a threat to democracy. Well, let's see how that actually works from their side.
Today, Donald Trump has been invited to join a question and answer session in Chicago at the annual meeting of the National Association of Black Journalists. The co chair of [00:01:00] the group, Karen Attiah who is an editor and columnist for the Washington Post has just resigned because of this.
A former CNN anchor called it an abomination, and another member wrote, I know that the association has a history of inviting all presidential candidates, but this is not the year for that. Not with this man. We need to be bombarding the world with how dangerous he is.
Not playing into news media efforts trying to normalize him. And participating in efforts to put him back into office. Participating in efforts to put him back into office, which to them means open debate and free speech in a democracy. I guess we'll get another fractured mirror version of their kind of democracy tomorrow, when the Democratic Party anoints Kamala Harris, who has never gotten a primary vote for president in her life, [00:02:00] as the Democratic nominee, while they all try and rewrite her history.
This highlights one of the key elements of the psychological warfare operations of the elites. They have to control the narrative in part by enforcing their own narrative. As Barbara went through in the Monday brief, big tech like Google, Meta, chat, GPT are now essentially trying to erase the assassination attempt against Donald Trump with not a little help from Christopher Wray, whose own FBI had to walk back Ray's claim that Trump may not have been hit by a bullet.
The new spin coming from these layers is that Trump himself will be responsible for a future attempt because he's refusing to back down on having outdoor rallies. Now, one key element of busting up that controlled narrative must be a serious investigation of the assassination [00:03:00] attempt, with committed and competent investigators.
That's why we are calling for such an investigation to be headed by Kash Patel, who played an important role as an investigator when Devin Nunez's House Intelligence Committee was fighting back against Russiagate. And as we've stressed, the investigation has to go beyond just the events of Butler and look at the whole of society's psyops assault.
There's probably not much hope that the committee appointed by House Speaker Mike Johnson is going to do that. But on the Senate side, the joint hearing between the Homeland Security and Judiciary Committees yesterday, which roasted the Acting Director of the Secret Service, was more serious with Wisconsin's Ron Johnson and Missouri's Josh Hawley, who was a former Attorney General, actually doing something more than grandstanding.
We have to continue our pressure, on [00:04:00] Congress across the board for a serious investigation. And again, we can't just narrow the focus to the events in Butler. Go back to the days after January 6th and the installation of Joe Biden into the White House. While too many were falling down every rabbit hole that was created, concerning how the vote fraud was carried out or Q based theories about white hats reinstalling Donald Trump, we were reporting on how the elites had prepared for this all along with their whole of society psyops. And we particularly focused on the infamous transition integrity projects, pre election war games, aimed at keeping Trump out of the White House.
Barbara Boyd wrote extensively about this in 2021 and since. She documented who was behind it and how they planned to neutralize [00:05:00] and eliminate an authoritarian would be dictator with his white power extremist base post election. In other words, the elites were way ahead of most Americans in their planning.
Guess what? The same crowd has just conducted another set of war games, which has been reported on by both the London Guardian and Bulwark, both publications of which participated in some of the sessions. The Guardian, in its coverage, boasted that the earlier Transition Integrity Project imagined the then far fetched idea that Trump might refuse to concede defeat, and by claiming widespread fraud in mail in ballots, unleash dark forces culminating in violence.
Every implausible detail of the simulations came to pass in the lead up to the U. S. Capitol attack on January 6th, says [00:06:00] the Guardian. So, this new set of war games, like the old, has gathered together Never Trumpers, Democrats, retired military, and government officials and policy wonks. And the London Guardian said, quote, They came with a mission to war game Trump acting out the most extreme authoritarian elements of his agenda and explore what could be done should he win in November, to protect democracy in the face of possible abuses of power, unquote.
Now, you can read the articles, which we'll link in the comments, but read them not to get freaked out, but rather from the standpoint that, okay, this is how the enemy is deployed, and it shouldn't surprise you since they did it before. How do we outflank it?
Now, it's interesting. The Guardian concluded that participants came away from the simulations sobered by the experience. [00:07:00] They found there were far fewer effective restraints at their disposal than they had expected. Parenthetically, you know, perhaps our Constitution actually works.
They concluded that the last resort, when all else fails, would probably be the power of public protest. Public opinion, mobilized by a powerful communication strategy, can help set boundaries on authoritarian behavior, they conclude. In other words, how many people can you still manipulate? Well, that brings me to the main topic.
How do we outflank this? First, how do we ensure that Donald Trump and J. D. Vance get elected? And how do we ensure that they can govern? Let's take another step backward and look at how we didn't do that in the 2022 elections. Use Michigan, which is one of the three key blue wall swing [00:08:00] states here in 2024, as a case study.
Back in 2022, Republicans suffered a complete wipe out. Governor, secretary of state, attorney general, we lost both houses of the state legislature because they successfully controlled the narrative. And in Michigan, it was abortion and we fought on their territory. We actually had a female candidate for government, for governor, who worked in her family steel plant and had good ideas about the economy and manufacturing, and especially educating an industrial workforce.
But it was like a feather in the wind. There was no way to get that message out because it was not the message of the old Republican Party, and it was completely drowned out. by the establishment's narrative. Now, throughout 2022 and 2023, we hammered away at this. Change the damn agenda. [00:09:00] Don't fight on their territory.
Force them onto the territory that you can control. That began to happen in early 2023, when Donald Trump launched his Agenda 47 policy videos, which have now become the core of the new Trump authored 2024 Republican Party platform. Almost alone, our organization highlighted the importance of these policies, because we saw that implicit in Agenda 47 was a new Republican Party and a political and economic revolution.
That has now been concretized with a new platform and with the choice of J. D. Vance. We just put out a statement entitled, A Promethean Guide to the 2024 Republican Party Platform, which also includes a link to the full platform. I cannot stress how important it is for [00:10:00] every one of you out there watching this to read the statement and read the platform.
This is our territory because it's reality. Trump, Vance, and the platform live in the world of real families struggling to survive. It is the real world where our future will be determined by our society being fruitful, multiplying, and exerting greater power over nature.
This, by the way, is what J. D. Vance is really defending in his attacks on childless cat ladies. This will be done by increasing our actual productivity through investments in industry, infrastructure, and technology. The new platform declares that the Republican Party is the party of, quote, industry, manufacturing, industry, and workers, unquote, not the party of Wall Street and neocons. [00:11:00]
And we lay this out in more detail in our new statement. Now, this means throwing overboard all the elements of the old Republican Party. Look at the way the Trump campaign continues to blast the wannabes like the Heritage Foundation. who's Project 2025 director resigned yesterday.
Trump campaign chairman, LaCivita and Wiles put out yet another statement on this that said, quote, President Trump's campaign has been very clear for over a year that Project 2025 had nothing to do with the campaign. They continue, Reports of Project 2025's demise would be greatly welcomed and should serve as notice to anyone or any group trying to misrepresent their influence with President Trump and his campaign. It will not end well for you. Unquote.
Now [00:12:00] followers of our website were way out in front of everybody else in understanding the essential conflict between Trump's Agenda 47 and now the platform. And the Heritage Foundation, which is another really good reason why everyone watching this show should subscribe to Promethean Action.
The narrative spinners can't deal with this new approach. Harris continues to attack Trump for wanting to cut Social Security and Medicare. Well, maybe the Heritage Foundation and too many Republican lunkheads in Congress want to do that. But Trump's new platform defends it, and even more important, J. D. Vance outlines an economic policy of increasing the size and productivity of the workforce, which will keep Social Security viable.
Recently, the liberal Patriot and anti Trump publication, which nonetheless has some grip on reality, reported that the top issue [00:13:00] for most voters, with the exception of hardcore Democrats, Is the economy, not abortion, not the threat to democracy.
Trump knows that, JD Vance knows that, and we know that, and that's how we win. And knowing what it takes to rebuild the economy is how a Trump Vance administration will be able to govern, no matter what the war gamers think they have cooked up. So join us again on Saturday for Barbara's weekend wrap up, and thanks for watching.

On Thanksgiving Eve, we take note that George Washington's 1789 Thanksgiving Proclamation provides a proper focus for this week's update. We look at the continuing strategic lunacy of the Anglo-American governments, and the countervailing "Trump Effect" which is beginning to manifest itself.
With the nominations announced so far, Donald Trump has made clear that he is taking a blowtorch to the policies and institutions which have shackled the American presidency and allowed the British oligarchy to bring us to the brink of disaster.
The news cycle is dominated by the emerging shape of the Trump 47 Administration. As Elon Musk said about his and Vivek Ramaswamy's new assignment it will send “shockwaves through the system.” Ramaswamy had described Trump’s intentions for his second administration as nothing short of revolutionary.
We explore the reasons for Trump's landslide which the elites are constitutionally incapable of understanding. All of their models, polls, and profiles are based on a fundamentally wrong idea about human beings and their capacity for transformational change. That's what was manifest on Tuesday.
