The Witches Brew Behind the Curtain
The 2024 Republican presidential primary is not a traditional contest among independent political entrepreneurs. It is a chess match pitting Donald Trump against a deep-pocketed Never-Trump Cartel with vast media reach.
This Never-Trump Cartel is anchored by a Dark Money Koch Network, Big Pharma vax peddlers, and Democrat Wall Street billionaires who hedge their political bets by funding Republicans. This globalist troika is united in their love for open borders to import cheap labor and the offshoring of American factories and jobs to leverage the sweat shops and pollution havens of Asia.
The Never-Trump Cartel likewise includes corporate media conglomerates ranging from CNN and MSNBC to the RINO Right of Rupert Murdoch’s Fox News empire. Rounding out the roster is a coterie of Silicon Valley venture capitalists and social media oligarchs, including Mark Zuckerbucks, who spent vast sums to defeat Trump in 2020 and the richest man in America who has offshored his largest Tesla factory to China, Twitter’s Elon Musk.
This Never-Trump Cartel will provide much of the Republican Primary fundraising, polling, and strategy. To understand its various gambits, consider two “favorite sons” contesting very early primaries.
The shadow “non-candidate” New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu in the bell weather second primary on January 30th and South Carolina’s Senator Tim Scott in the fourth primary on February 24th will use their home team advantages to try to blunt the “inevitability” of a Trump victory early on.
Scott has zero chance of winning the nomination but wants to maximize his chance of being picked for Vice President by either Trump or Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, leader of the Never-Trump Cartel pack. As long as Scott drains votes from Trump, particularly early on in his home state, he will be lavished with cartel support.
South Carolina’s “favorite daughter,” former Governor Nikki Haley, is likewise auditioning for VEEP but knows Trump would never pick her. She has simply bitten the Trump hand that fed her so many times.
