DEMOCRATS ARE PREPARING THE ‘ULTIMATE REVEAL’ FOR 2024


Richard C. Lyons

IF JOE BIDEN IS FORCED OUT OF THE PRESIDENTIAL RACE, WHO WOULD SUCCEED HIM? ALL
OF THE CLUES POINT TO ONE PERSON.



A major device in storytelling is the use of “reveals.” They are key moments
when previously hidden information is brought to light, either to the characters
or to the audience. A good writer will scatter clues throughout a story that
keep readers in suspense and the narrative moving until the time comes for the
“ultimate reveal.” J.K. Rowling is a master of the ultimate reveal, as she
proved over and over in her “Harry Potter” series.

Lately, Americans have been the audience for a great number of reveals from the
Democratic Party, which are telling quite a story — and foretell something
bigger they are keeping concealed ahead of the ultimate reveal.

It’s evident that the Democratic Party does not want any significant challenger
to Joe Biden.

Harry Potter fans will recall how the books’ lead hero navigated the mystery of
the Chamber of Secrets and the myriad reveals and clues: warnings written in
blood on Hogwarts’ walls, frozen cats and students, and the exodus of spiders.
All of it led to the great epiphany of a hidden genius who was dancing in the
dark of subterranean depths, shrouded in layers of secrets. But until the
ultimate reveal, the audience was misled by ambivalent scenes composed of
dreams, which seemed to point to another character’s guilt.

We are the audience today, and our country is the stage. We are witnessing a
political drama full of reveals, if we could just see them for what they are and
what they tell us about the mystery in which we’re immersed. To understand where
we’re headed, we must set out to rediscover some of the past.

It is a little-known fact to those outside Illinois that when community activist
turned state senator Barack Obama was running for the U.S. Senate in the summer
of 2004, he was trailing his opponent, Jack Ryan, who held a double-digit lead.
Suddenly, an incredible, unprecedented thing happened. A compliant, dedicated
left-wing judge ordered Ryan’s divorce records to be unsealed, revealing sordid
details of adultery and promiscuity that included trips to sex clubs.

Ryan dropped out of the race, leaving no time for any opponent to run a real
campaign against the genie who opened the seal — Obama.

We might consider another sordid election campaign scandal, the emergence after
the 2016 election of the “Steele dossier” that purported to show Donald Trump’s
illicit ties to the Russians. All of the clues and “revelations” in the dossier
claiming Trump colluded with the Kremlin to sway the election turned out to be a
web of thinly sourced claims or outright fabrications that misled millions of
Americans. Not unlike how Rowling misled her readers by producing a trail of
clues pointing to Hagrid being guilty of opening the Chamber of Secrets.

Who really chose Robert Mueller, with that face of a champion of justice, to
lead the special counsel investigation into the Russian collusion hoax? Who
staffed the investigation with vicious leftist careerists in hopes of unseating
a president?

It is a clue that when Mueller was finally brought to testify to his findings,
he appeared to be a stumbling old dotard, with hardly the capacity to be
questioned. But because Mueller did not clearly exonerate Donald Trump, he
appeared as guilty as Hagrid did. Many voters who fell for the web of lies
simply voted against Trump in 2020.

Which brings us to the current election and several telling clues that point to
a troubling future.

Why exactly was a scion of one of the most prominent political families in the
country, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., prohibited by the Democratic Party from even
debating Joe Biden? His uncle Ted Kennedy was allowed to challenge Jimmy Carter
in 1980. Why was RFK Jr. forced to leave the Democratic primary or be further
humiliated with exile within his party?

It’s evident that the Democratic Party does not want to debate its policy
failures over the past four years. It is equally evident that the party does not
want any significant challenger to Joe Biden disrupting the nomination process
and upending the Democratic National Convention this summer.

If Biden, another stumbling old dotard, should be forced to drop out due to
health reasons, who would succeed him? Ordinarily, it would be the second-place
candidate in the primaries. What does that mean this year?

It means that the candidate the Democrats will nominate by acclamation rather
than by a vote of the people will be Michelle Obama, the wife of He Who Must Not
Be Named, the dancer in the dark, the Tom Riddle of our national story.

If any other person were nominated, such as RFK Jr., his people would be in
power, and our Tom Riddle would be out of power with the administrative state
for the first time since 2008.

Let’s imagine the production design at the Democratic convention, where a
glittering Michelle Obama will proclaim she will save America’s democracy from
the evil Donald Trump, about whom it’s been proven, like Hagrid, that he’s
guilty of no crime except alarming the ruling class. Trump would henceforth be
He Who Must Not Be Debated.

So what, then, is the serpent hiding in the darkness, set to take our liberties
and our lives? Socialism.
