Vivek, DeSantis, and Trump's Master Move
Exploring Patriot Plans Within Plans
What is the play for Vivek, and how does this help him, Trump and the people?
Let me lay out a working theory I’ve been cultivating since the 2024 primaries began, when it seemed clear to me that Nikki Haley, with all her grooming, wasn’t prepared to deal with Vivek’s volley’s of accurate and well timed blows on the debate stage.
This clip does a decent job of laying out what happened, (omit the media’s gushing over Haley).
As part of this theory, it is my contention that Trump is working with Vivek in some capacity, and has been assisting him in playing the role that Trump played in 2016. This has, of course, been a bit unpalatable to a lot of Trump supporters, who feel Vivek is just trying to steal a card out of Trump’s play book to win over Trump supporters. But, as I will attempt to show, Vivek’s only real victory here is to support Trump, and his pledge to withdraw from the primary is evidence of that.
The Mean Girls and Vivek Ramaswamy
After Trump was “disqualified” from the Colorado GOP primary for the non-crime of addressing the crowed on January 6th, Vivek promised to drop out of the race if they didn’t restore Trump. Vivek also demanded that DeSantis, Haley, and Christie do the same.
This was, in my view, a master stroke, one with a Trumpian-vibe to it, which is one of the reasons I think we have more evidence to suggest Vivek has been working with Trump.
I would also argue that Haley, DeSantis (double agent?), and Christie think they are the ‘Varsity Team’ of the establishment high school American politics click. Reading their body language when Vivek speaks in the debates, their tone of voice, and incessant eye rolling, I think a case can be made for the fact that they think Vivek is some brash punk kid who wandered onto a field they worked hard for—’the nerve of this punk.’ And as you and everyone else who has ever watched self-entitled undeservingly popular brats get butt hurt over being put in their place, it always makes people root for the guy who kicked the stool out from under over-glorified elites in the popularity food chain.
That punk kid, I think, is Vivek.
Vivek’s and Trump’s Playbook
Vivek Ramaswamy seems to be drawing from the same playbook as Trump did in 2016. He’s bold, brash, and speaks plainly about what’s really going on—in American politics, at least from his point of view, he seems to be. This has helped him gain street cred with the growing population of Americans that are sick of the old-guard candidates and their military industrial complex policy positions.
Vivek appears far more sincere and informed about the actual issues than all the other candidates that went up against him, possibly excluding Mike Pence. When there are only Deep State Stooges to choose from, as we’ve seen over the past decades, then the ploy works for the Deep State—people choose the Bill Clinton’s and Barack Obama’s of the world (it certainly worked on me in 2008). But when a real candidate with real passion, truth, and conviction gets on stage, the puppets look like the fools they are.
This, I would argue, was the plan—Trump’s plan—all along.
Taking a look at Pence for a moment, out of all the candidates to disappoint, Pence might be the biggest turd in the punchbowl. But I think we can safely agree that what appears on the surface here is not the whole story. As a matter of fact, the surface (what we see and hear from all the players on the board, both MAGA/America First or Deep State/Establishment) is a well-crafted act with a much bigger agenda.
If we entertain the notion that Pence was working with Trump to dismantle the Deep State during Trump’s administration, which we have heard compelling evidence for from our very own
and , to name a few, then ‘Why the empty chair routine, Mike?’Kayfabe anyone?
I don’t rule that possibility or any possibility out. It explains the about-face of Pence during the election confirmation hearings on January 6th. And on that point, I am placing my chips on the fact that Pence and Trump, and likely a lot more people, have been, and were orchestrating a carefully worked-out plan to win the hearts and minds of the people, globally, which included exposing the deep state assets, the perpetual flaccidity of our justice system, media, and the near complete facade of the geopolitical field for at least the past 80 years, since WWII.
Trump’s plan seems to include Vivek and Trump being removed from the ballot, which only the State of Colorado has managed to pull off at this stage. If I’m right, then this was all anticipated by Trump and the patriots. More than that, it needed to happen. It was their plan. More on this later.
For Vivek’s part, he is essentially playing surrogate Trump, Trump 2016-style. And who doesn’t love to see that?
Vivek Pledges to Withdraw if Trump Isn’t Allowed to be on the Ballot
Now I know a good chunk of folks think Vivek is just pandering to the Trump base, but I honestly don’t see the long term play here for Vivek if that is true.
The same day that Colorado, through the State Supreme Court, made the promise to strip Trump from the ballot in the general election, Vivek took to X in two now-viral posts.
This is the first Vivek post:
Here is Vivek’s pledge, posted on X:
Vivek, Trump, and DeSantis’ (?) Plan to Expose the Deep State
Vivek’s pledge to drop out of the race is clearly going to win over some Trump supporters. Of course, it also seems like a ploy to gain support from them too. But for what purpose?
Let’s assume Trump is disqualified and cannot be on the ballot in Colorado. Let’s also assume that in some way, the rest of the country follows suit (Trump is disqualified from the General Election as well), and the people accept the decision, despite the rank display of illegality, unconstitutionality and unlawfulness of this move on the Deep State’s part, (which I will speak to later).
Of course, this is what Nikki Haley and the Deep State padding her bank account wants. She’s the military industrial complex stooge—a candidate that might as well have been fabricated like Matthew Broderick and Anthony Michael Hall did in the 80’s classic, Weird Science.
Chris Christie, in my view, never had a chance. He was put there as a prop, along with Tim Scott, and several others, DeSantis included, to make Haley look ‘strong’ and ‘presidential’ (Emphasis on ‘look.’)
DeSantis, I still suspect is playing a role for Trump, and that roll includes the same one he is faux-playing for the deep state in their attempt to prop up Haley. DeSantis is meant to look like the uninteresting, non-charismatic, let-the-wind-take-me candidate, while at the same time, seeming like a good next-best-thing to a lot of Trump supporters and Trump-hating republicans. DeSantis, I am arguing at this time, appears to be a double agent, working for Trump, while at the same time, seemingly working for the Deep State.
By this, I mean, Trump knew the Deep State would try to find a candidate that had some of his freedom- and America-first qualities, someone they could push around either because he had no firm position on real issues or because he could be blackmailed like the rest.
If I’m right, this is how it went down:
The Deep State intended on Florida being the bastion of freedom during the pandemic to make DeSantis look good in preparation for the 2024-Haley play. They also knew that DeSantis, as much as people like him, never had a chance in hell at beating Trump. But they believed that, through the theatre of DeSantis’ ‘fighting back against COVID-tyrants’ during the pandemic, a lot of patriots would love him, especially those who didn’t see the much bigger agenda and game afoot (it was never just about Trump winning the POTUS in 2024).
Trump played into this: he helped prop up DeSantis from the very beginning, and then he helped the deep state by ‘breaking ties’ with DeSantis by seemingly coming out of no where to attack DeSantis before he even started campaigning.
It was all a brilliant move on Trump’s part. He played into the image the Deep State media were painting of Trump being the brat prince and ego maniac who couldn’t share the limelight with anyone.
In doing this, the Deep State played their card, and once played, they couldn’t play another. The plan was to have DeSantis draw support from Trump in a way that would make the Deep State think they had a chance. But then they would make DeSantis look like a fool in various ways (heels, anyone?), possibly even filling his campaign staff with trigger happy ‘defenders’ who would white-knight for him him ruthlessly, and in doing so, make him even more unpalatable.
The goal of the Deep State was to ‘sacrifice’ DeSantis when the time was right. By that time, his supporters, now hating Trump for going against DeSantis, would be drawn into the only hope they had left, Nikki Haley. I suspect this was the Deep State’s plan.
Vivek the Flea-Flicker?
What the Deep State didn’t realize was that Vivek was going to come in and pull a Trump, 2016-style—at least, this is my current working theory. The full play hasn’t been executed yet, but the fact Vivek is willing to drop out of the race to support Trump in principle, and at the same time, support the true rule of law by exposing election meddling suggests we’re in the last phases of this part of the plan.
Vivek came into expose Haley, Christie, and every other old-guard political puppet, especially Haley, for looking like a military industrial complex stooge.
As I wrote in the News Brief For December 20th, the old-guard politics of totally-fabricated performances between two obviously establishment-groomed candidates is dead … hopefully forever. No one wants to eat the industrially-fabricated, freeze dried, mechanically separated meat look-a-like burger that is a unit party candidate when you can have a totally authentic Wagyu burger that is a real candidate who is authentic and cares about what he’s saying. But don’t let Vivek’s primary campaign fool you; he was never going to be POTUS, he knows it, we know it, and Trump most certainly knows it too.
I would wager Trump and the patriots’ much greater goal was to completely de-tooth the old political theatre system that the Deep State has used to begrudgingly win over the people for decades. It’s the same scheme that asserts presidents have to look ‘presidential,’ the last successful one being Obama, omitting Biden, of course, because his performance is so bad it’s not even in the same category. Plus, I’m tossing around the idea that Biden might, in some way, be in on Trump’s plan, or most definitely, that Biden is being used by Trump as a prop in his plans, unbeknownst to Biden at al.
What’s Vivek’s Endgame?
As I said, I don’t think Vivek’s real goal was to attempt to win the POTUS, by swooping in after Trump is disqualified to take the general election by default. If that was his play, he likely wouldn’t have said what he did.
”I pledge to withdraw from the Colorado GOP primary ballot until Trump is also allowed to be on the ballot, and I demand that Ron DeSantis, Chris Christie, and Nikki Haley do the same immediately - or else they are tacitly endorsing this illegal maneuver which will have disastrous consequences for our country.”
By making this statement and declaring that DeSantis, Haley, and Christie should do the same, he pulls a Carrie White from Stephen King’s epic book Carrie—Vivek utterly destroys any credibility the old-guard had in looking like real patriots while he burns the entire political stooge system down to the ground. Or perhaps, Vivek is setting the conflagration up for Trump, who will do the burning in the months to come.
The ENDGAME of Trump’s Lawful Restoration Plan
Let me explain and also share why I think the ploy to strip Trump from the ballot in the general election is yet another foot in the grave for the Deep State and their political puppets.
First, let’s look at what Vivek said:
"The 14th Amendment was part of the ‘Reconstruction Amendments’ that were ratified following the Civil War. It was passed to prohibit former Confederate military and political leaders from holding high federal or state office. These men had clearly taken part in a rebellion against the United States: the Civil War. That makes it all the more absurd that a left-wing group in Colorado is asking a federal court to disqualify the 45th President on the same grounds, equating his speech to rebellion against the United States.”
The fact is, Trump did not commit an insurrection, and anyone with sense knows that. The people never bought it, and the Deep State knows that. That’s why they were so upset about the J6 footage being released on Rumble, and they launched a series of cyber attacks in response.
There is no crime that took place on J6 other than some property damage. The people know it. Most of the legal world with any salt knows it, and Trump most definitely knows it.
Trump, I would argue, knew they would pull all of this nonsense regarding J6, and wanted them to do so. This was always part of the plan, I would wager. It was vital to expose yet another arm of the Deep State machine—the total and complete hijacking of the law and legal system in this country and the world at large.
As
and myself have argued, the true rule of law hasn’t been alive on earth for at least the past 1,000 years, and arguably, it hasn’t ever been alive in any meaningful sense in semi-recent known human history (the past 6,000 years or so).Now, to be sure the founding fathers, like the Carolingians (cerca 800 CE) gave humanity a much better system. But they also knew it was only a seed of true freedom and the true rule of law, one that WE THE PEOPLE had to water via eternal vigilance if we were to see it grow into the great tree of truth, freedom and property it was always meant to be. (But that’s a much longer discussion for another time.) That said, Trump, I suspect, knows what the true rule of law is and will bring it to fruition in a post-Cabal world.
Here’s the last relevant section of Vivek’s post:
“And there’s another legal problem: Trump is not a former ‘officer of the United States,’ as that term is used in the Constitution, meaning Section 3 does not apply. As the Supreme Court explained in Free Enterprise Fund v. Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (2010), an ‘officer of the United States’ is someone appointed by the President to aid him in his duties under Article II, Section 2. The term does not apply to elected officials, and certainly not to the President himself.”
Here, Vivek is right again.
Now don’t think for a second that the Cabal won’t do what they do best—redefine words, terms and ideas to suit their agenda. That’s a game they have been playing since the very beginning. They have been revising the meaning of constitutional precepts for decades, hence the past centuries legal obscurities in the form of gun control, abortion, and immigration policy, (yet another longer discussion for another time).
The key point here is that there is no legal basis to remove Trump from the ballot—legal meaning, the rules WE THE PEOPLE have established via legislative and judicial process since the country began.
Think of a legal system like the specific rules a sports venue makes for their team. The law, in relation to these specific rules, are the grand rules of the game itself, which exist and have standing independent of that specific venue. In this regard, the lawful basis of the attempt to strip Trump from the ballot is even more dubious.
Let me explain …
The law is objective—it exists independent of our ability to perceive it or agree to it. But we are nevertheless subject to the law, e.g. gravity, electromagnetism, morality, free will, commerce, and so on. The legal system is created by men in their attempt to create an effective rule system that governs and manages society, with the aim of establishing a stable, prosperous and free civilization—at least, if we are trying to be good, true, and righteous with our civilizations, like the founding fathers.
The legal system, however, can and does become corrupt when WE THE PEOPLE lose touch with the law—the objective law I mentioned a moment ago, which is why the founding fathers spoke so much about God and unalienable rights, and many other precepts of true law in their writings, including the Declaration of Independence.
The key precepts of true law are free will, which is the highest principle, and must be respected.
Next are rights, which God gave to man as a way to assist him in respecting the sovereignty of free will choice—that is, when we honor a right, we respect free will, and when we dishonor a right, we violate free will.
Next, we have contracts and trust, where people who have been endowed with rights use them to create honorable trustworthy agreements, which ensures each individual who has rights has the right to consent to any actions by other men that might influence them.
For instance, if I have the right to sleep peacefully, and you have the right to play music, how can you exercise your right to play music around me when I’m trying to sleep? It’s through an agreement. By using free speech to negotiate with each other where I consent to letting you play music while you consent to letting me sleep, a compromise is made in-trust (via good faith). When I honor this agreement, I give you the chance to play your music and your rights, and free will, have been respected.
Now take that simple example and scale it up to every possible right in every possible person in every possible way. We have millions of people all with rights all trying to use them to get things they want and value (the pursuit of happiness) and that means everyone has to sit down and create an agreement that covers everything, as much as reasonably possible.
What we’re talking about is a government: “That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.”
In simple terms, all governments are themselves features of a contract—in the case of the US, a constitution, which is a type of contract. This means that the rules of contracts and trust are the key measures of fairness, justness, and right and wrong.
This means, that when the people decide to use their God-given unalienable right to choose a representative to defend and protect their rights in government, like the POTUS, then that choice is sacred. No one can take that away from the people who have used this incredible power called free will.
So when the Colorado Supreme Court claims that they can swoop in and declare Trump can’t be on the ballot, then they are effectively trying to place a ‘lien’ on the rights of the people.
Now, the truth is, they can’t. But they can use various forms of trickery to convince people they have rights and no choice in this matter, when they always have and always will.
As I have said many times, this right to create government and elect representatives comes from God—not the founding fathers, not the constitution, not the government, not the media, and certainly not the Supreme Court. And if the people decide they want Trump as POTUS, it doesn’t matter if they make their will known on a ballot, on the back of a napkin, or in a social media post. The WILL OF THE PEOPLE WILL NOT BE DISMISSED.
I would argue Trump knows all of this because, in my view, all his efforts have been in alignment with these principles of true law.
Now consider this:
If the people use their God-given powers to create government and that government proceeds to violate the will of the people in choosing their representative as POTUS, Trump, what does that mean about the foundations of this government, the same government that only exists to serve and protect the rights of the people?
It means the government is defunct, dead, lacking in all true standing, power and authority.
It means that, for all intents and purposes, the moment a government or a supreme court seeks to violate the will of the people, who have followed a valid lawful process to make their will known in the form of a vote, then that government is worthy of what the founding fathers said here: “whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.”
Trump, I think, with all his efforts, has been building up to the moment when WE THE PEOPLE will rise from our slumber, activate our super power known as free will, and together, dissolve the defunct zombie that is the current government while we restore and reanimate the true Republic.
Trump needed to use this method because of what I shared in the News Brief from the 20th:
“I think Trump has been using a careful strategy to gain the most lawful support, so that when the ‘storm’ is triggered, it’s a guaranteed win for him, the people, and civilization as a whole.
‘Pay to Caesar what is owed to Ceasar.’
In this case, in terms of law and legal systems, a righteous actor, like Trump, can’t and won’t change a legal system through contempt, vigilante methods or ‘bull in a china shop’ tactics. Caesar, as the head of the civil government (legal structure) has to be honored (respected) to be changed lawfully (in concert with God’s Will—the law). By God or God’s Will, I mean the necessary conceptual foundation of every legal system on earth, which is always theistic, because all law operates within a trust structure of free will, rights, contracts, and honor.
Briefly, a legal system is always, without fail, in all its varied forms, a contract between citizens as to how they will defend and advance their rights in society. It might be an autocracy, and tyrants are good at using various forms of social engineering to convince people they have no choice, but they always have a choice. Hence, people must be made to not use their free will choice (via dumbing down, cultural enforcement mechanisms, and so on), which isn’t the same as not having a choice at all.
In law, honor is the concept of respecting the rights of others (collective rights are legal policies), which is God’s supreme law commandment for men insofar as managing civilization. Hence, a good citizen seeks to change legal policy via the right process (the legislative process), instead of doing whatever he wants. Even if the system is unjust, it’s still an expression of societal will, the people’s will, and it has to be respected, partially because it ensures the greatest stability.
Free will is the highest law, and therefore, no one, including God, would violate man’s will, especially civilly and legally. This is one reason why Jesus didn’t overturn the kingdoms of men; he ‘paid to Caesar what is owed to Caesar,’ while he protested via overturning the tables of the temple money changers, and other forms of respectful protest.
Trump had to exhaust every legal avenue of getting the people and the system to do the right thing. Now that they have failed, the door for actions outside of this system can be pursued.
There’s still time, of course, for the system to come around—I don’t expect Trump and the military to initiate anything tomorrow. But if they do, it will be due to a genuine and clear and present emanation of collective political will. That’s why, I suspect, he had to go through this long, drawn-out process.
It was to rouse the people out of their slumber and cause them to use their greatest weapon of all—free will … choice.”

As I said, this is just my current working theory. I make no claims of having it all right. No doubt I got some of it wrong.

The less people that have figured this out is probably better for the patriots and why I have faith in not necessarily the plan but the skill of the players. I’m still ready for it to end though, I ran out of popcorn a long time ago.
