October Surprise?

So, I keep hearing about an "October Surprise" that will drastically affect the election. How about this for a series? One, the Longshoremen go on strike. Two, a week or so before the election, things start getting worse. Three, there's no end to the strike. Four, whoever's pulling the strings gets Buydem to declare something akin to martial law, somehow inferring that we can't hold the election because of the strike. Five, this country becomes one huge shithole over the next year or two.

Maybe that's the tinfoil hat talking, but it sure looks to me like it's the perfect opportunity for our not-so-illustrious government to do something to completely upend the election -process.

    Not to be a contrarian, but the people (including gun owners and everyone else) have already shown their complete willingness to hide under their beds - with masks on, no less - until whatever "danger" - or what passes for danger - is gone.

    This does not bode well for anti-martial law people like us.

    The part that "favors" Kammie is the idea of not being able to hold an election. In that case, the current admin would continue.

    Without THAT intervention, I'd think that people would be sick of the supply chain disruption, and yes that would make her more likely to lose, IMO.

    There may be a more nuanced take on it, though.

    Martial Law would turn into a Civil War in a matter of days! All of the military plus all the cops in this country don't even come close to all the gun owners who are already totally pissed with this administration.

    Oct 22-24 - BRICS meeting in Kazan (yes, I have been to that city, around 1 AM, all I remember, from the bus, is a long dark bridge and bad roads).

    Among other things, they will admit another 9 countries to BRICS, also consider Turkey (which will start the unraveling of NATO), and will make more agreements on continuing de-dollarization, which will leave the US alone to deal with pile of debt stretching from here to the moon.

    La Estúpida, if elected, will ignore all this and blame it Trump, Putin and all the bad countries of the world, while feeling sorry for herself. I wonder is she can even locate Russia on a map? LOL!

    Hmmm, Kazan seems to have been upgraded since I was there in 2005 or whenever: https://www.airpano.com/360video/vr-k...
    Putin has spent $$$$ rebuilding all the old Mosques and Cathedrals throughout the land. Where I stayed in Togliatti, the magnificent cathedral across the way in the park was above eye-level from my 12-th floor apartment. In the US, the Left throws bags of feces at churches and young blacks, rocks.

    Don't forget yesterday's mass cell phone outage.
    That's probably a dry run to a phone/internet outage on election day.

    Me dino would not put ANYTHING past the Deep State and the Democrat Party at this point.
    Can't even kill or jail Orange Man Bad?
    That means any means that would keep Trump out of the White House is AJ-squared away for America-hating commie termites in dire need of gnawing away any and all foundations of our Constitutional Republic.
    Yeah, while those weaselly liars keep ad nauseum carrying on about how much they want to save our democracy, save our democracy, save our democracy.

    Would L O V E for Buy-dum to declare martial law!!!!! Do it, bitch!

    That would be the end of the O-bummer reign of progressive, totalitarian demon-crats. and likely the end of public support for gun control.

    Strike, supply line disruptions, shortages, middle east wars, Ukraine war, China and N Korea sabre rattling... the October surprise could be the UN declaring a global shock and implementing their tyrannical 'Pact for the Future".

    Having a do-nothing empty suite in the Whitehouse was plan A but shit for brains couldn’t string a few words together to from an idea. Installing (in a very democratic way) Harris, as the democratic nominee was plan A ½ which is failing. I think she is polling so poorly that they know there isn’t even a possibility of stealing this election.

    I fully expect the two failed assassination attempts were plan B measures, now plan C will be much worst; I think they are trapped and will become desperate. Plan C might be WW3, we would be the country in the wrong.

    WW3 would include all of the above, Russia, China, nukes both home and abroad, EMP is a given.

    my concern with the US Military is if they will be allowed to act

    China cannot take Taiwan if US Attack Subs are active

    war with Russia will be a disaster for both side, the higher the level of war, the larger the disaster, which is why certain people are pushing it

    making a nuke is easy now, if you have the materials, it is an engineering task as we know they work

    lots of nations now have the ability to put stuff in orbit, each with nukes can dump one over us. for an EMP, multi-stage )H-bombs) weapons are more effective, and if the biden admin blames someone, who would believe them (not me)

    In order:
    Agreed
    Agreed
    Agreed
    Wouldn't surprise me
    Also wouldn't surprise me

    The thing that scares me the most concerns your first 3 items. With what our military has been allowed to digress into, we wouldn't stand the snowball's proverbial chance in Hell of coming out victorious in any of them.
