No Constitutional Crisis?
by Robert Lederman
What a mess. Two candidates no one wanted in the first place
are now locked in a dispute over votes that promises to
invalidate the 2000 presidential election and perhaps the entire
illusion of fair elections in the United States. Whichever
candidate ultimately assumes office-supposing that one of them
eventually does-will forever be seen by a majority of
Americans as an illegitimate president.
Was this political disaster caused by simple incompetence, by
an exceptionally poorly designed ballot or by a last-ditch effort
by the Bush campaign-his brother Jeb is Governor of Florida-to
fix an election he was losing? The problem with blaming Bush
is that if his campaign fixed this election they certainly did an
extremely sloppy job of it that does Bush maximum harm
before he's even inaugurated. The Bush dynasty loses almost as
much status by winning in this way as if G.W. had clearly lost
to Gore. Does anyone benefit from this situation?
If your goal is to destabilize the present system in this country
and institute a coup, martial law or something else even more
drastic this could be a very effective first step. As
demonstrations erupt across the nation, recounts spread to other
states and elected officials begin to publicly choose sides things
are likely to get much more chaotic and devisive.
If a Constitutional convention or a nation-wide re-election is
called for it would open the door for all kinds of changes to
occur that would not normally have any chance of being
proposed due to the built in obstacles of our slow-moving
political system. The kinds of conflict these proposed changes
would cause in the streets and in Congress might well lead to a
civil war, a revolution or a coup.
Chaos presents the opportunity for drastic change. Who
traditionally uses artificially-created political instability and
de-legitimized elections to effect drastic political change? The
CIA.
The CIA-influenced media appears to have had an
astonishingly accurate picture of what the outcome of this
election would be long before it was finished. Did they really
use polls or was it a crystal ball?
Too Close To Call has been the predominate theme for most of
the past year. Perhaps America is really this evenly decided
between Democrat and Republican, Gore and Bush or perhaps
we have been set up for this fiasco over the course of the entire
election campaign. That a largely Jewish section of Florida was
seemingly tricked into voting for Buchanan-a candidate who
openly praises Hitler-is the kind of Nazi-inspired humor we
can expect from the CIA-which just earlier this year admitted a
profound 50 year connection to thousands of top level former
Nazis [See: UPI 9/20/2000 "CIA says Nazi general was
intelligence source"].
The only sure result we have right now is that both major party
candidates appear to have no mandate and the non-traditional
candidates have been proven to have either no substantial
following or, in the case of Nader, are being are blamed for
causing this whole mess. In other words, every presidential
candidate has experienced a dramatic loss of prestige and
legitimacy and America has no one who can even pretend to
represent the people in 2001.
There is one person who stands to immediately benefit from
this morass and that is President Clinton who has made it clear
he'd have liked a third term. If the election result is not
resolved by January, Clinton may remain as President
indefinitely. The Presidential orders he has signed for FEMA
and other contingency plans which involve a suspension of the
Constitution could go into effect for seemingly legitimate
reasons.
Clinton has long-established ties to both the Bush and
Rockefeller dynasties, to the CIA and to the most elite factions
of the New World Order. With Hillary winning the election in
New York the Clintons now appear, in contrast to the
presidential candidates, as beacons of stability and legitimacy.
No Constitutional crisis? Get ready for a bumpy New Year.
