At Secretive Meeting, Tech CEOs and Top Republicans Plot to Stop Trump (http://www.cryptogon.com/?p=48359)March 8th, 2016
Now you’re looking for the secret… but you won’t find it, because of course you’re not really looking. You don’t really want to know. You want to be fooled.
—The Prestige
I’m trying to understand this Trump situation and the hysterical freakout that’s ensuing in elite and media circles.
Trump could have been vote-frauded into oblivion by now.
Why hasn’t that happened?
My best guess is that the primary purpose of the Donald Trump candidacy—whether he knows it or not—is to escort Hillary to the White House by simply drawing attention away from the Clintons’ life of crime.
You know, so all of that (http://whatreallyhappened.com/RANCHO/POLITICS/BODIES.php) doesn’t come up during the sElection.
We can hear about the Donald’s hair and ex-wives and how hipsters are talking about fleeing to Canada, etc. I don’t remember which site, but mixed in with this bilge was a story about a cat with a long tongue that’s famous on the Internet.
Mena. Vince Foster. Mary Mahoney. The rest of it. *pfft*
Emails. Benghazi. Double *pfft* The recent Hillary stuff is chicken scratch compared to the 1980s and 1990s. I hardly mention the recent stuff. It’s noise level, relative to what went down in past decades.
Yep, Trump is a good whipping boy and the best distraction since Bin Laden.
And the next thing you know, the Clintons are back in the White House.
Almost as if by magic.
How many Bush presidencies would that make? I lose count.
I think it was Bill’s facilitation of the Mena enterprise (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1561712493/cryptogoncom-20) that made the Clintons ultimately untouchable. The willingness to play ball there meant that these two were good to go. Bill got his turn. Now Hillary’s up.

Billionaires, tech CEOs and top members of the Republican establishment flew to a private island resort off the coast of Georgia this weekend for the American Enterprise Institute’s annual World Forum, according to sources familiar with the secretive gathering.
The main topic at the closed-to-the-press confab? How to stop Republican front-runner Donald Trump.
Apple CEO Tim Cook, Google co-founder Larry Page, Napster creator and Facebook investor Sean Parker, and Tesla Motors and SpaceX honcho Elon Musk all attended. So did Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), political guru Karl Rove, House Speaker Paul Ryan, GOP Sens. Tom Cotton (Ark.), Cory Gardner (Colo.), Tim Scott (S.C.), Rob Portman (Ohio) and Ben Sasse (Neb.), who recently made news by saying he “cannot support Donald Trump.”
Along with Ryan, the House was represented by Energy and Commerce Committee Chair Fred Upton (Mich.), Rep. Kevin Brady (Texas) and almost-Speaker Kevin McCarthy (Calif.), sources said, along with leadership figure Cathy McMorris Rodgers (Wash.), Budget Committee Chairman Tom Price (R-Ga.), Financial Services Committee Chairman Jeb Hensarling (Texas) and Diane Black (Tenn.).
Philip Anschutz, the billionaire GOP donor whose company owns a stake in Sea Island, was also there, along with Democratic Rep. John Delaney, who represents Maryland. Arthur Sulzberger, the publisher of The New York Times, was there, too, a Times spokeswoman confirmed.
“A specter was haunting the World Forum–the specter of Donald Trump,” Kristol wrote in an emailed report from the conference, borrowing the opening lines of the Communist Manifesto. “There was much unhappiness about his emergence, a good deal of talk, some of it insightful and thoughtful, about why he’s done so well, and many expressions of hope that he would be defeated
