Both sides are trying their best to throw the election because both sides know what's coming
The infinity-debt-bubble is going to burst the instant the rates get "emergency" cut which will likely be at the next FOMC meeting (This is coincidentally ONE day after the election is decided). 2007 / 08 / 09 look IDENTICAL to what is currently happening.
- Spam: "wow we fixed the markets" (which to them, is the same as the economy)
- Cut rates (This will be an "emergency" cut that "nobody" will see coming)
- Hyper-inflate the USD (Furthering BRICS' claim to the new WRC)
- Drive people into foreclosures
- Consolidate wealth on the (very large) dip
- Ask for another gov bailout at the expense of the tax payers
I wrote the following 8 months ago:
Step 1. Tie up russia w/ Europe so they can't help their allies in the middle east (implode Iran to "protect Israel" seems like most libs will accept that)
Step 2. Destroy trade routes out of china through the middle east
Step 3. Naval fuckery against China to lock them out of trade entirely.
Step 4. Buddy up with any SA country dumb enough to provide cheap slave labor to pivot out of China (Such as bringing FABs to Mexico/Argentina/Arizona)
The good thing is; however, their plan will not work (but it does explain why neither party wants to win). The bankers/1%ers win regardless, and the puppets in the kayfabe show know that "their side" of the uniparty will get far more donations during the period that they aren't in charge.
This is entirely why the US is charging head-first into Iran while blaming Israel/Zionists/Jews. The American markets need the boost to the MIC or they're going to lose the WRC
Enjoy the fall
If you're right about what they try to do (I certainly think they are gearing up for exactly that, though like you I agree they won't succeed, and fingers crossed as to if they dare- they probably will) on the upside, the silver lining to all their atrocities they are committing and will only increase- it will go catastrophically bad for them (IMO).
Russia won't be tied up, and Europe will freeze
They can engage in piracy as they always resort to in the end, but it will cost them- hopefully everything in turn (and I don't think it's out of the question). The Asian vassal states and rogue entities (Japan, SK, Philippines, rogue Taipei) as well as Aus/NZ will similarly have a world of hell headed their way, even if it's just economic, and the entire region will be rightfully pissed and IMO by-and-large understands exactly who is not only behind it all, but fundamentally, existentially, incompatible with the peaceful development and prosperity of Asia. Even India which tries to play both sides and would love to see China trip up is going to see this as yet another slap in the face, after the regime changes in Bangladesh and the ongoing issues in Pakistan no less.
Honestly I don't even think they'll be able to properly "implode Iran." Any troops trying to enter Iran may as well be stepping into a meat grinder, and I think that the spirit and structure of the Iranian revolution (highly flawed as it may be) is well defended. If they try to implode Iran, Isntreal will go down immediately (and even then Iran will still be around- extremely pissed and with some real damage, probably with nuclear fallout whether it be from Isntreal launching the nukes, targeting nuclear sites, etc, or even the west directly acting on behalf of their puppet).
And hopefully, all of this will be the perfect storm, as the landmass of Eurasia (the decent parts anyways) finally and fully are forced to break free of the west and all of humanity starts marching to a future without it. I don't think the bankers/1% will "win" (they'll remain oligarchs in the west or wherever they flee, sure, but their fortunes will be greatly reduced), the political establishment/theater will be even more doomed and precarious than before, and- this is assuming that they don't go full on MAD- the end result will still hopefully, very possibly, destroy YanKKKeestan's viability as a settler-parasite upon the rest of the world once and for all, and with it its MIC, its (and the collective west's) world economic system, etc.
