The Best Story Would Bring Hillary Back
(Originally published in The Hayride on August 21, 2024)
Since the Democrats can’t seem to talk about anything without using Trump as a sounding board, I figure I’ll bring this one out now instead of waiting. The Democrats–and eventually the re-emergence of the Uniparty–have no platform to push and no story to tell without Donald Trump.
But perhaps that can strike both ways. Granted, I still believe that the Mockingbird media polls are fake, that the only momentum the Harris-Walz ticket has is drummed up by the same actors you and I have long come to distrust. Just look at the numbers for anything Trump does, including the billion-plus that watched his interview with Elon Musk last week, compare that to the numbers for the other side, and there you have it. Look at his rallies too. It was the same thing in 2020. Not news.
I do believe, however, that Trump and the movement need a familiar foil to make this election season the story it could be. I don’t know if that’s always how life works, but it sure does seem like we’re seeing a story unfold in a strangely linear fashion in the last several months.
Note that I didn’t say Trump needs it to win. I said he needs it for the story. For us. For the American people, who love their stories, to see it. To finally see it en masse.
Or maybe this is just gratuitous wishful thinking on my part.
But given the fact that the names “Obama” and “Clinton” are the ones most associated with the ongoing coup against Trump going back to 2016 and maybe even 2015, it would be like an afternoon at the waterpark for a nine-year-old if one of those two names turned out to be the next batter up for the Dems.
While Michelle is definitely high on the list just out of mere curiosity in things Vigano has said about her recently, and what many folks have conjectured about her, perhaps even what Joan Rivers died for, Hillary is who I want.
The rematch. Rocky II.
Will Harris be Trump’s opponent in the end? Perhaps. It certainly would be easier to convince the American people of the coming election steal if she were the foil, because I cannot imagine a country, even one as spiritually struggling as ours is, believing something that their eyes are not revealing to them. To me the steal would not only wake up Americans through 2024, but would also validate in everyone’s minds what really did happen in 2020–what we’ve been gaslit time and time again into not believing, even by many conservatives.
It would certainly be easier for the Dems and Mockingbird to sell to the public a Big Mi-, a Michelle, or Hillary victory. That ease of sale is probably the only reason I’m keeping my eye on the Dems’ political side of things. A change of batter to one of those two would fit the narrative, information war theme I have sort of settled into in my work. Kamala does too, but for different reasons.
Personally, I hope it’s Hillary. Every American loves a good sequel, and so often the follow-up is better than the first.
Trump, in his typical way, used his stage not to beat a potentially unpopular idea over the heads of his voter base, but to subtly introduce it to the press–with the full knowledge that the legions of digital soldiers ready to move on his unspoken command would do the heavy lifting for him. It is why I am hoping his recent comment about AIPAC not having as much influence on our American government will actually introduce AIPAC to average Americans’ conscience to make them realize the impact the lobby has on our politicians and on our elections.
“Fifteen years ago, if you said anything bad about Israel or the Jewish people, you were finished as a politician. The most powerful lobby in this country by far, was Israel and Jewish people.”
Hopefully it will make people say what they so often say when Trump speaks–“Wait A Minute…”
It’s classic Streisand Effect. Introduce the issue of foreign interference in elections by not seeming obvious about what your actual intention is–exposure. Befriend the hidden enemy who pretends to be your ally by talking it up in a space in which no one’s ever talked it up. People are forced to say, “Wait a minute, what’s going on with Israel?” without hating on Trump in the process.
He does the same thing with Netanyahu.
Sew doubt without seeming over the top or obvious. Toss it out there like it’s not actually your intended main point in the middle of a longer monologue inside which you are tucking it.
I keep returning to that Braveheart line again and again where Robert the Bruce’s father appeases his angst by saying how they’ll play both sides of the battlefield to both win and keep the heat off. It is straight politics, smart politics, and that is what I hope Trump is doing with the AIPAC thing.
I hope. One thing is almost certain–he’s playing somebody. Either the infiltrated component of the State of Israel or—-
US.
Narrative gamesmanship, information war tactics, is also what I’m hoping he is doing in bringing up Hillary Clinton again.
Recently Trump dropped a not-so-stunning hint: Clinton could soon face the consequences many have long demanded. Speaking from his Bedminster golf course, Trump said, “Everybody said ‘lock her up, lock her up,’ and I used to go easy.”
But the gloves may finally be coming off. Not that such a pause was not an intentional one. The American public is much more primed for truth and justice now than they were in 2020 or 2016.
“Some people were upset when I did this,” Trump said, acknowledging his past restraint to go after one of the most notorious hidden criminals in US history.
“But you have to look at it maybe differently now.”
As you see her pop her head up only occasionally, like the clown in It, as you witness her flashing her colors last night at the DNC, you may have the feeling like I do that she’s not done, that she can’t be done. Remember the tactic of illusion I talk about with Trump. Other politicians, including Hillary, unleash it well too. Don’t think for one second that she would be happy for Kamala Harris if she were named the first female President of the United States instead.
Empathy and goodwill are not in her bones.
While yes, Harris and Walz are absolutely bringing back into the American consciousness much of the corruption and wicked motus operandi of the Uniparty from recent history (with 2020, the Minneapolis riots, and the bailed out criminals as an example), Hillary Clinton–from a narrative war, shadow war, holy war standpoint–is the key to bringing back so much more decades-long, entrenched wickedness inside the American Deep State–Benghazi, Russia Russia Russia, the 2016 WikiLeaks, Seth Rich, Uranium One, the Steele Dossier, Haiti, Epstein, Libya, Pizzagate, and dare I say it–the Clinton “list.”
If you know, you know. If you don’t know, you wouldn’t believe me.
I forgot to mention John John, but that whole story is probably not true.
This is the game we are playing. This is the battlefield she herself invited decades ago when she made the soul-directing decisions she made.
She has a book coming out soon too. Simon & Schuster will release Something Lost, Something Gained in September, promoting it with a book tour that will last into October.
“I can’t wait to hit the road and talk about Something Lost, Something Gained with you in person,” she said. “I hope you can join me for wide-ranging conversations that go behind the scenes and include never-before told stories. We’ll discuss the state of our politics and creating the future we want for our children and grandchildren and, most of all, have some fun while we’re at it!”
One can only hope that this book tour somehow morphs–totally unexpectedly on their end, of course–into a campaign trail. Trump-Clinton II: It would be a story to break box office records.

May everyone named directly or referenced indirectly ask forgiveness and do penance for their sins against America and God. I fight this information war in the spirit of justice and love for the innocent, but I have been reminded of the need for mercy and prayers for our enemies. I am a sinner in need of redemption as well after all, for my sins are many. In the words of Jesus Christ himself, Lord forgive us all, for we know not what we do.
