Modern Life as a Computer Game

Considering the nature of the deep state

As we enter the age of Information, culture has transformed into a digital game. The game designers are the deep state, hidden from the public, the target of the game. The characters in the game are constructs made larger than life as reflected in memes depicting Trump with his lean fit body appropriately clothed as Superman.

The masses are resentful of their powerlessness in their real lives but are transformed into the powerful when playing the game constructed by the deep state, united by their loyalty to the game’s Superman construct.

The construct had been sold to the gameplayers long before Trump ran for president, when the producers of The Apprentice marketed Trump as a brilliant businessman, despite his serial bankruptcies.

The Rule of Law has become a very fluid concept, adhered to on a whim. Then there is the memo of the law that is spoken about as if it is the rule of law, not just any law but a constitutional mandate, which must be incontestably followed, but a memo is just a memo of an interpretation contextualized within a historical moment.

Trump ran for president based on his belief in an unchangeable memo of law that would protect him from prosecution for his crimes if he only could win, but in his heart, Trump never believed he could win. He didn’t expect to win the first time he ran, but now he needed to win this time around, desperately.

We live in a developing information complex composed of truths that are verifiable and deceptions crafted out of lies, disinformation, and mirages. The incontestable policy that holds that a sitting president cannot be prosecuted is a mirage.

The simple solution to Jack Smith’s current dilemma is for Attorney General Merrit Garland to write a new memo or at least an exception to the prevailing memo that says that an incoming president who has been elected despite many indictments and convictions cannot be released from those ongoing processes because he is a sitting president. Processes that have been initiated before a president-elect becomes president cannot be halted and the president is prohibited from prosecuting the parties bringing forth the indictments or interfering with them in any way, nor can a president grant himself or herself a pardon if convicted of a crime through a process initiated before his or her presidency.

That’s my suggested memo. You can read more about the memo in this article from Standard Law & Policy Review

Keep in mind that because this policy is not a law, an incumbent attorney general is free to change it at any point in time. Just like Presidents Nixon and Reagan directed prosecutors to fixate on bringing narcotics cases as part of the declared “war on drugs,” a future AG could decide that weeding out government corruption is paramount, and that as part of that presidents will no longer be treated as above the law as a practical matter within the ranks of DOJ. If they want to avoid indictment, they should not commit crimes. Source Standard Law & Policy Review

……As for obstruction of justice, Mueller referred to the DOJ policy against indicting sitting presidents as a reason why the ten acts of obstruction detailed in the report were not actionable through an indictment of Donald J. Trump. Over 1,000 former federal prosecutors subsequently signed a public statement concluding “that the conduct of President Trump described in Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s report would, in the case of any other person not covered by the Office of Legal Counsel (OLC) policy against indicting a sitting President, result in multiple felony charges for obstruction of justice.”Standard Law & Policy Review

With hope and a prayer amending the memo the reason, Jack Smith is taking a pause. He must convince AG Merrit Garland to amend the memo or write a new one. Some say Garland is too cautious about appearing partisan but the time for that is long past. If various agencies had acted in the past, we would not be where we are today, which is not just our problem, but the whole world’s problem.

Now suddenly;y emergent co-president Elon Musk is calling for the prosecution of prosecutor, Jack Smith, so fears of appearing partisan do not fly in the current political context in which the president-elect has also made such claims. If the prohibition of prosecuting Trump because he allegedly won an election is disposed of, everything else can move ahead in fairness to the American people.

All things considered, I do not believe that Trump won the election.
