The ‘rail strike’ was a SCAM, and here’s why…
As I digest the news regarding the potential ‘rail strike’ that filled the news the past couple weeks, I had a theory that cleared up a lot of things that lead me to believe the entire thing was theater. A whole charade intended to motivate the base for the upcoming mid-terms.

So their contract expired in 2020…when it became clear that OBiden would take the White House.

Now, keep this thought in mind when reviewing the context. Biden has always touted himself as a ‘railroad guy.’ He states it often and has been an advocate of that money pit (a GREAT little place to launder funds) Amtrak for decades.

I imagine it was easy enough for him to lean on his Union buddies to delay ANY negotiations until JUST before the mid-term elections…which the OBiden’s KNEW would be a tough battle for them.

Assume many favors were granted and LOTS of money changed hands. Mind you, all benefiting the rail companies and union leadership…because, fuck the common worker, right? They’re simply a leverage tool easily manipulated, and always have been.

So, now, here we are and all of a sudden we’re on the precipice of a strike…two years after the fact and timed perfectly for maximum press coverage, fear mongering, and of course, elections.

Note how it was instantly ‘resolved’ in the nick of time…just like a a Hollywood thriller. Also note how the OBiden’s not only took credit for it, but how it was then written as a ‘BIG win’ for Unions.

One of the Democrats major weak points has been their blue collar base. They’ve felt completely abandoned by the progressive agenda of the Democrats (and rightly so.) Now, all of a sudden, the narrative has been written that OBiden is a ‘man of the people,’ and that ‘Unions work!’

There was NEVER going to be a rail strike. The MASSIVE amount of fear being generated was almost comical. Trains purposely being stopped across major highway rail crossings, hazardous material being left exposed, passengers stranded, supply chain destroyed (you’re gonna STARVE!), etc.

Nah, ‘rail guy Biden’ had his team set this little drama into motion at the start of his term for the exact purpose of ensuring a push to the mid-terms…because you know…the Republicans are gonna bust ALL the unions and those workers are going to get screwed….vote blue!

Welcome to a world without critical thinking, hive-mind zombies, fed their daily gruel by an illegitimate administration and a fully compromised media.

So was sending 50 immigrants to Martha's Vineyard... All theatre

I can't say I know the play on this as well as you elaborated on your topic, but I imagine the northeast needs some cheap labor... The Republicans laugh at the irony, the Democrats even claim victory as they celebrate how humane they are and how uncompassionate Santis is...

If these people had "bad guy" uniforms and carried guns, no one would think twice about shooting them... whoever they are... but they are running the most brilliant con in history, and we just kinds go along.

You are right, and this was just one small bit of a much larger picture.

Yep…a manufactured, rigged ‘win’ (and not just for OBiden, but for the entire concept of Unions as well), that was perfectly and purposely timed for maximum mid-term impact.

Lots of fear mongering on social media. Encouraging people to stock up which May show a boost for September.
