Remakes are never a patch on the original
Kit Knightly – Off-Guardian Nov 7, 2024
So, Donald Trump is President-Elect. Again. His female opponent refused to appear to talk to her supporters and waited almost a day to give a concession speech. Again. Democrats are rending their garments wondering what happened. Again. MAGAheads are thirstily slurping up salty liberal tears. Again.
We’re going to Make America Great Again. Again.
Remember that bit in Groundhog Day where Bill Murray is trying to use his position of being stuck reliving the same day over and over again to construct the perfect date, and he gets pretty close. He and his chosen date have this almost perfect moment…
…then, the next go through the cycle, he tries to do the same thing again, and it’s all wrong. Everything is stilted and forced and it doesn’t work. He tries too hard, grasps too tight.
That was how it felt watching the polls into the early hours of the morning – from both sides.
I’ll be honest here – waking up after Polling Day 2016 to see Clinton had lost is a great memory. I was never a Trump believer, but Clinton was unequivocally worse – than almost anything you can name – and to see the smugness of certain victory detonate into an implosion of stammering bitterness was…funny. And a relief. And funny.
A lot of people thought so.
I get the impression the organizers of (S)election 2024 are well aware of that & were trying to recreate that energy, Groundhog Day fashion.
But of course they can’t. Because this isn’t 2016. And Harris isn’t Clinton, and Trump isn’t even Trump, as he seemed go be then. Then at least there was some wild card elements to his game, now we know who he is.
2016 at least had the appearance of a genuine moment. Our astonishment at least was real. But in 2024 even that much reality has gone. And it feels like everyone knows it.
Remakes are never as good as the original. Cashgrabs banking nostalgia bucks. Soul vs soulless.
The Democrats and Kamala-stans are squawking brainwashed nonsense all over social media – racism this, misogyny that – but it feels like motions being gone through. Parts being performed. The wounds are neither as deep nor as vital as they were in 2016.
The outrage is forced. Even the enthusiasm from pro-Trumpers isn’t the same.
Clinton was a dragon that needed slaying; decades at the top of the pyramid had furnished her influence and cult-like loyalty, mirrored by those many accumulated resentments which fuelled the fireworks when she lost.
Harris had neither the pros nor cons of that legacy. She was never Clinton, and she’s neither of the Obamas, though they tried, at times, to paint her as each. She has no weight or presence and those followers she was gifted would follow anything that moved.
We’ve also had four years of Trump already.
Four years in which he not only spectacularly failed to “drain the swamp”, but also went right along with the Covid psyop and the vaccine rollouts and the lockdowns. All of it.
Then there is the massive reality of “covid” itself, and everything it taught us about the nature of power. I have said it many times, but that display of common purpose among what, for want of a better word, we call “the elites” drove huge numbers of people out of the mainstream and into the fringes.
Everyone on every “side” of the political divide might want to pretend this is Hillary all over again. That 2024 is just like 2016, but too many of us remember what they spent the last four years telling us. The “divisions” are a lie, the “disagreements” veneer deep.
Even if we want to get back inside Frank Zappa’s theatre and pretend we can’t see the brick walls (and it could be argued a Trump victory is an attempt to win us back), none of us can really forget the lesson we learned.
Faith and trust are fine china, much easier to break than repair.
Getting back inside the Matrix is much harder than getting out.
We also had the “election” of 2020 which was so blatantly and obviously stolen that it calls all other elections into question, forever. Trump even being allowed to run this time was a sign he was part of a constructed narrative, his “victory” doubly so.
His supporters might claim that Covid confusion made the 2020 election an exception and therefore easier to manipulate than others before or since. The rallying cry on social media is that this time The Donald’s victory was “too big to rig”.
But that rings hollow. Like an attempted excuse no one really believes.
The fact of the matter is Trump was either allowed to win, or made to win, and either way, it’s just further evidence he’s yet another compromised puppet.
The reality is just that simple.
The 2024 election was a contrived event putting a puppet into office to serve a Deep State agenda. Just like 2020 or 2012 or 2000 or…all of them really, back to at least 1964.
The real winner of the election is The Deep State. There was never anyone else on the ballot.

Here’s another baiter who’s made themselves rich talking the same trash over and over and over. If he knows anything at all, which I doubt, then he knows the “president” is just a clown to “entertain” the masses. So why talk about him? Why not talk about removing the ones behind him? If you go to “off guardian” and mention anything they don’t like they’ll tear you to shreds. Why? Because they’re undoubtably allied with the “state”, who allow them to continue pretending to be on your side as long as they crush anyone who wants to bring about change.
The biggest clue the Orange Man is a Trojan Horse is his constant use of the communist fist salute. Can’t get more obvious than that. Of course most people in this country can’t recognize a fly that’s sitting on the end of their noses.
Nice job, but it seems a bit early, like waking up in the middle of a good dream. Truthseeker shoulda held this for a couple more days, but it’s like that house had to fall outta the sky first,
to leave the ruby slippers. Oh well, pay no attention to that deep state behind the curtain…
No-one should ever take politicians this seriously and have long-term emotional reactions; you can live well above all the tedious work they have to do
‘Deep State’ –stupid term. More like ‘Semitic State’.
‘Welcome to your Jewocracy.’
Preposterous! Ridiculous!
The Boy Scouts of America (BSA) – one of the largest youth organisations in the US – has filed for bankruptcy amid an avalanche of Homosexual attacks.
The century-old group became as American as the Norman Rockwell paintings that immortalise their three-fingered salutes. But its considerable membership – 2.4 million youth participants – is about half what it was in the 1970s, a decline that tracks mounting scrutiny surrounding the Scouts. So what is behind the rise – and fall – of this American institution?
The ban was lifted on homosexual scout leaders, and abuse allegations rocketed.
Allan Turing was jailed for boy abuse, and was a real pests to boy scouts, and Jimmy Saville was a cub scout leader, Founded in 1910, the 2.2 million youth members and 800,000 volunteers across the country. According to BSA, more than 130 million young people have participated in Scouts programmes since its inception. The LBGT crowd who have been promoting homosexuality among the scouts, say its a storm ina teacup and will pass.
It boasts famous alumni like ex-Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and former Secretary of Defence Robert Gates.
Current thinking is if the boys cannot be protected, then the Scouts assoc must close.
Why do we continue to use terms like “Deep State, Elites, globalists etc? The word is Jews. It’s Jews pulling the strings.
As Fitts says, the problem is that both the US nation and Trump are beholding to the “war machine” (the MIC) and TO the “cash flow” from the bankster money-laundering operations from organized crime.
Ex-Top Official Catherine Austin Fitts: Inside Trump’s Victory, RFK Jr., and the Deep State
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YTArsszj5gk
Fitts is one of the most reliable and knowledgeable people on the planet as to the ills of her nation. Based on what she says, there is no one who can argue with any credibility that the US is not the crime capital of the world. As said many times before, all sorts of crimes in the US quickly become institutionalized becoming established and recognized industries.
It is the same in Vancouver, Canada, which is the leading importer of heroin and fentanyl in the world. It is an established “illegal-drug” importing industry and with all sorts of established and protected links to the crime lords in the US. Respected and established families run that industry and are free from exposure and prosecution.
In China, which is as schizoid as the US, its ideological make up is less diverse, and is mainly a chimera between a totalitarian uni-party establishment preaching Marxist equality meeting out harsh punishments to any ideological opposition and to law breakers, but it is liberal to corporate development and to criminal organizations exporting their wares to other nations. It should not be surprising to anyone that Justine Trudeau, the globalist Prime Minster of Canada, holds China, and not the US, as “the model nation of the world”.
There is also big money in human trafficking in the West not just to snake illegal migrants into our nations, but also for sex slaves and the more recent child-sex industries. No doubt there is a growing adrenochrome industry in the US, all protected like the other criminal industries.
The US from its inception has been run on a chimera of Aristotelian individualism and secular-humanist pragmatism yielding a concept of freedom and power where everyone tends to focus on their own interests, leaving their highly compromised and unreliable government agencies “to catch them if they can” for any collateral damage and crimes the business ventures and corporations may od to others in their dealings. Initially, however, the nation was established with a very strong backdrop of the Christian faith and morals, with that faith actually providing an effective “authority” for the morals in which a responsible individualism was “sustained”, mainly by virtue of many of the “laws” being instilled in the hearts of the people in which breaches had eternal consequences. For example, without that faith and the moral support for the individual and the common good which flowed from it, there would have been no alleviation from the heinous institution of slavery.
Not to ramble on, but if one really wants to understand why in these days there seems to be no really strong standards regarding what is right and wrong, or that which most of us can see clearly as either good or evil, it is because most of the people have no real connection to the eternal goods of the Almighty God. The history of humans in the West over the last 300 years shows us to be very much like a team of untrained children in a soccer match against the disciples of the devil who are very well positioned. The team on the side of what is good all go off together chasing the ball reality from one side of the field to the other, with the team of the evil forces maintaining all of their power positions and going completely unchecked.
The wonders from scientific rationalism and physical materialism, coupled to Darwinian evolutionism quickly replaced in the humanist spirit of things the eternal and personal God who led our hearts and lives in matters of right and wrong, and led to the belief that He was dead – and being dead he had no more real authority over us or over our laws. The new gospel, the new authority, if you were an individualist of any sort became a weak reflection of that proud Invictus of the poet and writer, William Henley, which sounded quasi-religious, even though he was an avowed atheist and likely did not believe in a soul or any eternal consequences whatsoever:
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate,
I am the captain of my soul.
The other polar direction from the God killers was towards the new absolute as represented by the Hegelian State which led to Marx and the complete loss and sight of the integrity of the individual person.
We have played around running from one corner of the field to the other, chasing the ball of science and materialism, with the same agents of the devil who control and say they own the entire playing field. They control international banking cartel, our nations and our elections, and because we have not been more unified we have ended up repeatedly kicking the ball into our own goal. We are left begin the dupes of the ideas which have evolved from Mr. Darwin that we think ourselves as no more than animals, where God is dead, and that might makes right, which principle has become the cornerstone of the remnant of natural law. As we think of ourselves as just animals with only the faculty of reason to distinguish us, then we naturally tend to expect to be treated like animals and to treat others in the same way, leaving no argument that anyone ought to deserve anything more.
Unless we put God back into the picture in all of our affairs, we will have no unified and coordinated moral force or “AUTHORITY” in our lives to fight against all of the evils in our midst, and we will continue to devolve into chaos and more crime, with the only option being a totalitarian one, with all of our basic rights and freedoms becoming so nullified that we cease even to be persons.
For any connection to He who is most real, we have to seek Him and take that leap of faith which gives us the power to resist and banish evil and darkness from our midst.
It’s wait and see what the Great Orange Man will do, and what he may NOT do. Like investigate his assassination attempt. Think about it. It should be the highest priority – to find out who has the power to make the Secret Service stand down. It is a litmus test for the Trump presidency, if Trump does not investigate and prosecute those that tried to kill him the assassination was faked with Trump in on it, or the Trump presidency is a deep state psyop.
Maybe Trump won’t use the massive power of the Federal government, which has an agency that collects every single thing ever typed on the internet, to find out who tried to kill him. A whole lot of people in D.C. know. Some arm twisting and threats ought to get these insiders to spill their guts so they don’t find themselves in prison for treason.
My guess is that Obama and Biden are directly responsible for trying to kill Trump. Trump will let both of them go. That is insane and criminal, not to mention immoral. Or maybe it was faked, which I tend to think because of the Iwo Jima trump fist in the air photo. Way to perfect. And no ear wound.
I thought, why not have Steve Bannon, now freed from jail, to head a task force to uncover who did it. But I will wager right here and right now Trump will not investigate his own assassination – because it was faked. It was one act in election stage managed theater.
Trump promised last time he would release the JFK files, then he did not. Now he has promised again? He won’t. The reason is that the JFK files are completely damning of the USA and Zionist Israelites.
IMO the proof that the Trump presidency is fake is if he does not investigate his own assassination attempt. Think about it.
@RIXON: (already made this suggestion elsewhere)
It would be very edifying to read the trump-related posts 2 weeks either side of Nov 5 a year or two from now.
You should create a folder dedicated to this theme, accessible within the archives.
The forum is overwhelmingly negative to Trump judging by the posts so far and I for one claim they are wrong and am willing to revisit the issue a year hence and fall on my sword, eat crow (but not crow’s shit) if proven mostly wrong (yes, including jews and death jabs).
Bad punctuation above but I am starting to like bad punctuation.
Clearly, the global plan is austerity, de-growth, deindustrialization, and rationing resources – on top of the old classics of any presidency, i.e., more war, more military spending, more surveillance, more control via digital and AI, more inflation. Don has been installed to keep the masses entertained for a little while as they frog-march into massive immiseration and pauperization.
The “MORAL AUTHORITY” of God in our lives comes from the AUTHORITY OF FAITH. Unless you have taken that leap you remain blind to God and His power in you life, and in the world. Without doing that you remain like a cow walking around all day with you nose to the ground with no clue to the world around you or to the stars above. Living unexamined, lukewarm, and bovine lives while shunning the truly holy, is what most people do out of fear of having to alter their life styles or disturbing their acceptance in their politically-correct little niches. The drug addict or dunk who has hit rock bottom has a better chance of gaining heaven than they do, simply because they know by their experiences that they have absolutely no POWER on their own to lift themselves out of the muck, and if they want redemption they have to reach up to that sky hook of faith, and grab on to it to be lifted UP^.
Faith involves the choice of what is most real and only works when we actually chose what is most real. You can choose to continue to live a life of lies and phoniness, or you can choose and surrender in your actual brokenness and weaknesses (if you care to really examine yourself) to the one who walked the talk for you and is most real.
