Too Big to Fail

A large portion of the news media has claimed that Joe Biden has won the election.  They now refer to him as the “president-elect”.  But that isn’t true.  There is no president-elect.  Not yet anyway.

The media is leaving out a very important word when describing Joe Biden.  That word is “presumptive”.  Presumptive simply means that a fact is presumed true in absence of further information.    They can claim that Joe Biden is the “presumptive president-elect”, but they can’t claim that he’s actually the president-elect.  Because he isn’t.  Not yet anyway.

Because there’s more information coming. 

As I’m sure everyone knows, the Trump campaign is claiming election fraud was perpetrated by, or on behalf of, the Biden Campaign.  Several lawsuits have been filed with more on the way.  Some states haven’t finished counting yet and still others will likely perform a recount.

It’s possible that the election results will be proven accurate and Biden will win.  It’s also possible, I’d say equally as likely, that fraud will be proven, and Trump will win reelection.  But, regardless of what the media is saying, Joe Biden hasn’t won the election.  Not yet anyway. 

The media can’t decide who is president.  They can’t “call” a state either.  They’re trying to make everyone believe they can, but they can’t.  They don’t have that power.  But, they have the power to make you think that they do.

A shockingly large number of people believe whatever their phone tells them to believe.  And, the primary source of information on their phones is the media.  Whatever the media displays on someone’s phone goes directly into their belief system.  By calling Biden the “president-elect” instead of the “presumptive president-elect”, they’re working to remove any doubt from people’s minds that Biden has already legally won the election.  But he hasn’t.  Not yet anyway.

By reinforcing the message that Biden has won the election, people will become increasingly skeptical of any claims of election fraud.  The stronger that people believe that Biden has won, the harder it will be for them to accept any notion of potential election fraud.  Eventually, this belief will be so strong that no proof would be strong enough to convince them that cheating occurred.

The media is spreading stories about Kamala Harris being the first female/black Vice President.  Again, they left out the word “presumptive”.  Each story implies or says outright that she actually is the vice president-elect.  But she’s not the vice president-elect.  Not yet anyway.

The false narrative being spread by the media is guaranteed to appeal to the same people who have been rioting, looting and burning down our cities all year.  These people are obviously easily controlled by the power of suggestion.  What do you think is going to happen if it can be proven that election fraud happened?  Do you think they’ll peacefully protest?  Of course not, their protests would be “mostly peaceful”, and we all know what that means.

What could motivate the mainstream media to manipulate people in this way?  What is their goal?  One obvious answer is that they’re trying to make Biden too big to fail.  If the media can get people to believe so strongly that Biden is already elected, they will ignore or rationalize away any evidence that he cheated to win the election, should such evidence be found.  If they can get enough people to believe what their phones tell them to believe, it might just work.  If enough people get worked into a frenzy, the threat of potential violence may influence the results of investigations into allegations of election fraud.

Joe Biden is not the president-elect.  He is the presumptive president-elect.  He may eventually become the president-elect, unless President Trump can produce evidence that proves the Biden Campaign cheated to influence the results of the election.  But, that hasn’t happened.  Not yet anyway.
