Casus Belli: Democrats’ ‘War Game’ for Election Includes West Coast Secession, Possible Civil War

61

The 2020 election has nothing to the American people voting for President – it is the stage for the left to declare war on the American people. The Democrats are weaponizing the 2020 election to wage war on our freedoms, rights and country. Make no mistake.
Casus belli is a Latin expression meaning “an act or event that provokes or is used to justify war.”

It is known that mail-in voting will be catastrophic, rife with delays, fraud, etc. So ask yourself, why do the Democrats want that?

A casus belli involves direct offenses or threats against the nation.

Democrats’ ‘War Game’ for Election Includes West Coast Secession, Possible Civil War

Democrats are contemplating secession and potential civil war as they game out possible scenarios for a closely contested election, according to a report by Ben Smith in a New York Times column Sunday.

The bulk of Smith’s column is devoted to the question of how the media will handle Election Night coverage, given that the result may not be known for weeks. Vote-by-mail, which many states have only recently adopted — ostensibly, to prevent the spread of coronavirus in polling places — could lead to an uncertain result.

However, buried near the end of Smith’s column is a report that Democrats have participated in a “war game” in which they considered several possible outcomes of the election.

In one scenario, John Podesta — the former chair of Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign, and a leading figure in party circles — played former Vice President Joe Biden, and refused to concede the election.

The result: the threat of secession by the entire West Coast, followed by the possible intervention of the U.S. armed forces:

But conveniently, a group of former top government officials called the Transition Integrity Project actually gamed four possible scenarios, including one that doesn’t look that different from 2016: a big popular win for Mr. Biden, and a narrow electoral defeat, presumably reached after weeks of counting the votes in Pennsylvania. For their war game, they cast John Podesta, who was Hillary Clinton’s campaign chairman, in the role of Mr. Biden. They expected him, when the votes came in, to concede, just as Mrs. Clinton had.

But Mr. Podesta, playing Mr. Biden, shocked the organizers by saying he felt his party wouldn’t let him concede. Alleging voter suppression, he persuaded the governors of Wisconsin and Michigan to send pro-Biden electors to the Electoral College.

In that scenario, California, Oregon, and Washington then threatened to secede from the United States if Mr. Trump took office as planned. The House named Mr. Biden president; the Senate and White House stuck with Mr. Trump. At that point in the scenario, the nation stopped looking to the media for cues, and waited to see what the military would do.

Notably, on Election Night in 2016, Podesta publicly refused to concede the election to President Donald Trump.

Most of the people in the states mentioned, especially in the less urban areas, would refuse to secede, as West Virginia did during the first (and hopefully last) American civil war. The more urban areas would quickly find themselves without electricity, food, or water for the most part, and would be run about as well as the ”CHAZ” area in Seattle was, meaning not at all. It would not go well for the rebels I’m afraid.

As Pascal once said ”…civil wars are among the worst of evils”, and we should do our best to live in some kind of civil peace if at all possible. A lot of rhetoric is flying around, and this year is crazier than usual of course, but I truly believe that we can easily avoid some of the worst case scenarios and step back from the brink.

Just confirming what you said, ‘it would not go well for the rebels’.
And the state capitol, Olympia, might just see the first mass execution of state pols if the idiots actually tried secession. LOTS of angry people up here, and I ain’t talking about ‘antifa’ or ‘blm’.
Seattle is a beautiful city, and does not deserve this crap. The maggot democrats drag the rest of the very conservative state through the muck with them every election. Last decent pol out of here was Jennifer Dunn, and that’s like ancient history.
Lot’s of new names this year, but don’t expect too much this time. Olympia is a mini me version of DC, and will have to be chipped away slowly…unless they do something real stupid.

Are you off your meds? This is the most insane post I’ve ever read. How did you come to the conclusion the secession would be a North-South split. The majority of Conservative Republicans live in the South. Wealthy Elitist Democrats occupy the Northeast and West coasts. This war would be over ideology not real estate. There would be psychological boundaries as opposed to physical. Another Civil War would fragment the US into four separate Nations.

You’re right, but you can say it without being rude. The biggest problem I see with an all out “Civil War” is that nobody would know the enemy from the friendly!

There are people in the Owns Valley who are prepared at all times to disable Metropolitan Water District Facilities [L.A. Water Supply] PERMANENTLY should the opportunity present itself.

Water has always been the ruling factor in the west.
The battle for the water in the Owens Valley has been going on since the early years of the 20th Century, and is only one of the schemes William Mulholland was involved in. The movie China Town revolves around the water rights and theft situations that Mulholland was involved in.
Due to Court Orders, Mono Lake, which was being drained by Los Angeles, is now starting to refill. My high school age granddaughter will be in her 50s before the lake recovers to its original level.

Lake Mead hasn’t been near capacity for many years. The Southwest has been in a persistent long term drought cycle for a couple of decades. Plant records demonstrate that most of the 20th Century was on the wetter side of normal for the greater area and now things are on the dry side of the cycle.
Lake Mead became a primary water source for Los Angeles when the courts restricted their use of Owens Valley water. With the growth in the Phoenix Area, there is now a constant low level battle between California and Arizona for Colorado River Water.

Even evil people, greedy and power hungry, will pull back from the abyss if they are at least somewhat sane and make a practical calculation for personal survival if for no other reason. But the problem with these Elitists is that generally they only hear or read from the same people as they are, reinforcing their beliefs instead of the reality in front of their eyes. I mean, nobody with a shred of decency or sanity would tolerate these Anarchist rioters in the streets for very long, so something else must be going on.

Of course they want the country to be destroyed. Then, they can get rid of the consittution and implement socialism. They all think they’ll be ridin’ high in that system but they will be in for a shock. As I understand revolution. they’ll all be some of the first to be eliminated.

The animosity towards the Metropolitan Water District is generational. Los Angeles vampiric draining of water from the Owens Valley Watershed has tipped the ecological balance in the area and before court injunctions were put in place the area was being turned from a verdant farming and ranching area into an area turning to desert.
The Los Angeles Interests have no regard for the well being of anyone outside their political jurisdiction. It’s only through decades of litigation and the imposition of stringent limits on the amount of water the MWD is permitted to siphon off from the area that the valley is starting to return to some semblance of its former lush condition.

What they want and what’s good for them can be two different things of course. Most of the people in the smaller towns further east and in the rural areas of course would want nothing to do with them; I believe that if it came to it, they’d pull a ‘West Virginia’ and remain loyal. Then we’d take back California.

HEREIN LIES THE PROBLEM THEY WILL HAVE:

The majority of American people, AKA the silent majority. THEY WILL NEVER STAND BY AND ALLOW ANYONE TO MAKE A DICTATORSHIP, MARXIST, COMMUNIST, AND/OR TOTALITARIAN COUNTRY OUT OF AMERICA.

If a CIVIL WAR is what they want, then they are the dumbest people in the world. THEY WILL LOSE, GUARANTEED.

THE SILENT MAJORITY LOVES THEIR GUNS AND AMMO AND THEY ARE ALREADY PREPARED FOR A CIVIL WAR.

I have been to so many dark web sites where they are PREPARING and gearing up for this CIVIL WAR against………………………………….LIBERALS, DEMOCRATS, and anyone else who want to take her over. In fact, the Dark Web is more prepared than anyone understands.

I do not think these fools on the left have ANY IDEA what is coming their way.

The reality is that the leftist insanity of the democrats has them abandoning the people and mistreating their voters in the belief tit would undermine Trump – in the end they have so undermined themselves that they are going into the greatest election loss in the history of US politics – they would rather go into civil war in an attempt at a violent take over than see their own self destruction in the election. It is that bad.

Interesting that the ONLY parts of the Left Coast that are liberal, democrat, socialist, are the large cities of Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, and Los Angeles …. not sure about San Diego.
What are all of the “conservatives” going to do when the left attempts to secede all three States when only the cities really want it – and likely not that many in the cities, either.
Frankly, that may be the match that lights the fires of Freedom and puts the dems out of their misery.

We are already in a communist insurrection with the Leftist protest-rioters…Nov (not Oct) will be their “Bolshevik” Revolution where all hell will break loose. It will not be a peaceful election; we haven’t seen nothing yet when it comes to violence. Trump may have to concede the specific electoral votes to those Leftist States that are wrought w/ fraud if he still can win otherwise. So just write off some of those Leftist Commie States and deal w/ all other States as needed to win the electoral votes. Since the Leftists are already on a War footing, Trump and Republicans should already be planning their counter-maneuvers.
