In a not so surprising statement, Huffington Post reporter Ryan
Grim reported that "something like 54 private jets" arrived at a
private resort off the coast of Georgia with a specific focus of stopping
Donald Trump from obtaining the Republican nomination for president.
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.).
Ah, yes, the usual suspects.
Of course, the meeting was for that annual
World Forum, which is a conference that has been hosted somewhat
secretively since 1982 by the
American Enterprise Institute.
To make sure that Grim was not assuming too much,
neo-conservative Bill Kristal of The Weekly Standard reportedly wrote in an
emailed report from the conference, "A specter was haunting the World
Forum--the specter of Donald Trump. 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."
Then Kristol added these words, "The key task now, to once
again paraphrase Karl Marx, is less to understand Trump than to stop him. In
general, there's a little too much hand-wringing, brow-furrowing, and fatalism
out there and not quite enough resolving to save the party from nominating or
the country electing someone who simply shouldn't be president."
Grim went on to report, "Federal Aviation Administration
records available onFlightAware.com show that a fleet of private jets flew
into and out of two small airports near Sea Island this
weekend. Fifty-four planes flew out of the airport on St. Simons Island,
Georgia, on Sunday -- nearly four times as many as departed from the airport
the previous Sunday. "
He
conveyed this to CNN on Tuesday, as well.
Should this surprise anyone? The GOP is
petrified of losing their power to Donald Trump. This is why they sent out waterboy
liberal Mitt Romney, a two time loser, to attack Trump. David Hodges
believes that Romney's
pitiful and hypocritical remarks were a veiled assassination threat against
Trump.
However, I just want to remind all of you who
think the GOP is the political messiah party that these people have engaged in
this kind of practice for a long time. Most recently, they acted in a similar
manner against 2012 presidential candidate Ron Paul. Remember how the party opened
in prayer to Jesus Christ and then nominated a polytheist who does not believe the Jesus
Christ is God, but rather the spirit brother of Lucifer? Remember how the party
then acted in a similar
manner to the DNC as they scripted
the vote to change the rules to shut
out the people's voice? Remember how they stole
delegates from Ron Paul? You don't? Go back and read Cynthia Kennedy's pieces to remind yourself of the shenanigans that
took place during the coronation of Mitt Romney.
While I cannot in good conscience support any
of the GOP candidates (two
are constitutionally ineligibleand one
has questionable character and track record) nor either of the
Democrat candidates, the GOP is getting exactly what it deserves. They have
been promoting progressives, socialists and communists for decades now. In
fact, following Trump's wins on Tuesday in Mississippi and Michigan, Doug Wead laid
out the following ways the GOP establishment will now attempt top stop him:
1.
Cruz, Rubio, Kasich and Romney will cooperate with each
other to help block Trump outsiders at key County and State
conventions.
2.
The RNC Rules Committee will likely change the rules back
to a five state requirement needed to put a name in nomination at the
Convention.
3.
Make sure that you have your own people chosen as delegates to the convention.
4.
The place of the caucus that selects the actual delegates who go
to the district or state convention may suddenly change without your knowledge.
5.
The time of the meeting may suddenly change.
6.
The chairman may say "Ayes have it,"
even if they don't.
7.
Off duty police may arrest and detain your newly elected
Donald Trump GOP officers.
8.
Precinct, County, State leaders may charge a last minute tax.
9.
If the Caucus Chairman is replaced or does not like the outcome of the vote
they may suddenly declare the process invalid. For example, they may say
that the new chairman is a Trump partisan and thus it is now a Trump event
and the GOP insurance for the event is invalid and thus the meeting is ended.
10.
State Conventions will prepare ballots misspelling
Trump and then later discount them
in the voting for those pledged delegates.
11.
Fake ballots will be distributed listing establishment names as
the official Trump delegates, confusing the voters.
12.
Counting the ballots at the various conventions will be an
exhausting business with delays, postponements until the next day, seals broken on the voting boxes,
and all kinds of chicanery.
13.
They may cancel the voting due to weather in a key
precinct that is heavily Trump, throwing the State.
14.
At convention you may find hotel rooms cancelled. And other
rooms may be bugged.
15.
When you leave the RNC don't think it's
over.
Don't think these things can happen, read Doug's
article for all the sources
where many of these things and more occurred to the Ron Paul campaign in 2012.
