A Case Study On The Art of Lying....Murdoch's Wall Street Journal Claims Trump Might Be Dumping Stephen Miller, "Distancing" On Mass Deportations
There are several poorly kept secrets among the elite opinion-makers whose goal is to control information, manipulate public opinion, and conduct social engineering.
One is their belief that lying, in one form or another, is necessary because those people who are not included as members of their private club "can't handle the truth," to quote the power-mad General played by Jack Nicholson in the film, "A Few Good Men." However as we should have learned by now, it is those who abuse power for purely selfish reasons that can't handle other people knowing the truth.
Another is their belief that the majority of people will prefer to accept what they know to be a lie if they think it means protecting themselves from harm, whether it be of the physical kind, or to maintain their psychological comfort zones. That strategy of lying works, generally speaking, up until the destructive incompetence of the policies imposed by those elites leads to an inevitable breakdown of people's sense of security and comfort. That is when the people who willingly lived with these lies suddenly become morally outraged at having been lied to. And what usually follows is that angry voters will go out in large numbers to vote against the very same incumbents they previously elected whose lies they chose to believe.
Lies are packaged, like the products we buy on Amazon. They look good in the photos. The reviews seem positive by people who sound knowledgeable. The product appears to be selling in large numbers. Easy quick delivery is promised. So what can go wrong?
The answer to that question, just like the entirety of the last ten years, is just about anything.
There's a pattern in voting history, which is that incumbents of the party in power traditionally get thrashed in midterms, for the same reasons the consumers are compelled to return the damaged, defective or wrong sized piece of Chinese made crap they just had delivered by Amazon. It's called "buyer's remorse." You see, it often turns out the reviews they went by were fake. Just like the ones written on behalf of Pennsylvania's "DINO" Senator, whose name we will not mention. Oops. Gotta ship him back too.
That brings us to the Wall Street Journal, (WSJ) which job has been to write fake reviews about the US economy and politics since their inception in order to cover for the lying elites, even predating the "BM" era. (Before Murdoch) Though admittedly under his ownership they consistently find ways to reach even newer lows.
Those who lie professionally and make a good living at it always build a sturdy and effective lie around a kernel of truth so that it sounds plausible, therefore sellable to the public. For that reason and a few others it is a miscalculation to denounce every single thing said or written by each talking head or writer who headlines in Rupert Murdoch's media universe as 100% false, all lies.
Let's clear up one misconception first. Rupert Murdoch personally despises Donald Trump. That is an established fact. That is why he had a fling with Ron DeSantis for president. That is why he fired Tucker Carlson, his meal ticket, over the Dominion case. He has many reasons, mostly personal ones, and will look for every opportunity to undercut and weaken Trump without antagonizing the ideological lunatics, racists, and ignorant rageballs upon whose advertising and ratings he depends.
Murdoch is by no means a leader of Trump's opposition, it is simply that he is realistic enough to recognize a reckless madman and agent of chaos when he sees one. The historians tell us that oligarchs fear chaos, that they want stability in order to keep control.
Like a modern Dr. Frankenstein, Murdoch loathes and fears the monster of his own creation, and would prefer it be destroyed. Obviously, we wish he had integrity enough, as did Mary Shelley's mad scientist anti-hero, to chase Trump to the North Pole where they could both go into a deep freeze for all eternity. Unfortunately Murdoch intends to live to 150 and spends his time stitching together new monsters, ones he hopes are more controllable by him or his heirs.
The latest WSJ fake review alluded to in the headline is a supposed insider's view of a White House power struggle centered around Donald Trump's own version of Dr. Frankenstein's deranged assistant Igor, Stephen Miller.
Supposedly, according to this piece of hype, Miller is being downsized in his authority by Trump, who it is said wishes to distance himself from the mass deportation policy associated with him. According to this report Trump believes that the the policy "went too far" and he fears that the result will be a GOP electoral wipeout in the midterms and '28 as a result. Trump according to their reporting is siding with White House Chief Of Staff Susan Wiles against Miller in wanting to emphasize only deportations of undocumented immigrants with criminal records, not ALL of them. It is probably circles close to Wiles who leaked the details of this meeting in order to move the story along.

Miller has made known he wants to deport 100 million people, while only 14% total of all undocumented immigrants have a criminal record of any kind, his purpose being of course to "Make America White Again." There is no correspondence between those numbers of criminals, much less the illegality and brutality, and what Miller's ICE is actually in process of doing, and there never was.
The backstory here is that Trump, in his drug-addled dementia-induced haze, is apparently becoming aware that he is going to be impeached the moment the new Congress is sworn in next January and is becoming, for lack of a better word, "alert" to the danger.
Consequently WSJ is in effect blaring the announcement that Trump is about to throw Miller under the bus in order to save himself.
So, there it is. The kernel of truth needed to sell the lie which they expect us to swallow. It has both plausibility and possibility, the baseline prerequisites for a good lying campaign. And on our side the voices in our heads are saying, no, yelling in fact, "that would be great, I hate that f*cker Miller."
Think about it, it has all the components of a great historical novel for all of us to download on Kindle. There's the TACO narrative, which says Trump's statements shouldn't be judged at face value or his threats taken seriously because he always backs down. Therefore he could very well "chicken out" on the mass deportation policy. There's his survivalist pattern, that he is loyal to no one and will sacrifice anyone just to save himself, so he'll fire his closest people without cause at a whim. And there's another subplot, which is that since the regime is run by billionaire oligarchs, and Miller is just a hatchetman that they picked up and used, that he has outlived his usefulness, so it's time to toss him in the trash like an empty Bic lighter. He is not really "one of them," just a tool. Each of which on the surface sounds like credible analysis. So, all of this intrigue, as goes their little bedtime story, means Miller could go.
Now we have the Journal's fake Amazon review for all of the buyers out there who read it. The package they are selling is that Trump will single-handedly rescue the GOP from electoral annihilation by firing Stephen Miller now before the midterms, because he is the most hated ugly face of the administration. Supposedly, if Trump backs off on the mass deportations, the growing revolt within MAGA and the galvanized Democratic base will calm down. What will likely happen instead is that Miller will show Trump the WSJ piece and they'll have a press conference together for Trump to praise Miller and vice-versa. Nothing to see there, keep on moving, as the expression goes.
They took what might be an actual Trump quote from a recent meeting, and used it as the basis for writing fiction, "loosely based on a true story." And it includes their own version of a "happy ending," pardon the expression.
But what is this really? Of course it's bullshit, sophisticated yes, but total BS. For Trump to fire Miller and actually reverse course on his immigration policy would be an admission of failure by him. He is a clinically malignant narcissist who is tempermentally incapable of admitting failure. He also knows that for him to change his policy after the entire theme of his 2023-2024 campaign and nominating convention was "Mass Deportations Now!" it would be received by his MAGA base as yet another Epstein-level betrayal of the biggest promise he made to them. And most important, Trump and Miller share an unbreakable bond, baked into their identities from birth which fuels and compliments their politics and greed, ie; their racial vision for America. There will never be a "walking back" on any of that.
He's not firing Miller. He is hiding Miller. He's doing exactly what I said he'd do in a lengthy article after the murder of Alex Pretti and the huge backfire effect of Miller's and Noem's comments immediately thereafter, labeling Pretti a "terrorist assassin." Noem was always expendable, as are all of Trump's wives for example because he hates, uses, and disdains women, but not Miller. Trump wants him to keep doing what he is doing, but to just maintain a lower profile.
In the meantime, Trump is expanding upon Miller's policies across the board with ICE, building more concentration camps, buying warehouses at inflated prices everywhere to detain millions more, escalating their deployments into US cities using the pretext of understaffed Airport security, all the while blaming the Dems for TSA not being funded.
And as you'll see in the New Republic article linked here, Miller himself is coordinating with Texas on a long game legal strategy to kill the 14th Amendment and Birthright Citizenship, by demanding their legislature defund public education for children of undocumented immigrants, a matter of settled law which has stood going back to the Burger Court. In the short term Miller hopes to force families to "self deport." In the longer term, to have a pretext for a near total cutoff of immigration, especially that of non-whites who are not financially well off. There is nothing about the likely ensuing deportation policy which will not be "mass" in nature if Texas, Miller, and SCOTUS pull off that act of nullification of the 14th.

Trump appears to be throwing Miller under the bus, but that is just it. It only appears that way. Trump is not reversing course on policy, he just wants to change "the messaging," which was the term he used according to the WSJ coverage. So he's keeping Miller off the air and relatively offstage because he's hurting the GOP's fundraising and poll ratings, and is making him look bad personally.
Just like Trump's relationships to US national security, law and order, prosperity, and of course his business empire, his marriages, his charities, his homes, now his office, his plasticized Fox News blonde enablers and MAGA-fied surgically altered cult followers, <it's all about
appearance.> Nothing about him from his clown face, down to his heel-lift shoes, to his personal life, is real at all.
The Wall Street Journal is full of it. The very idea that Trump is firing or demoting Miller is a manufactured narrative coming from the Murdoch circles because they are trying to "talk it into existence." They took what was likely a real quote, and wrote a description for the Amazon product ad which purpose is to mislead their readership. And unfortunately, there will be many among us who are otherwise sane and rational, who will get their hopes up that Miller could be forced out and that some of our problems will be lessened.
Even in the unlikely event Miller is fired, there are new monsters in the making waiting in the wings. Just look at all of the grave robbers out and about at night foraging for spare parts.
Our job is never going to be made easier by anything the enemy does. They'll make tactical blunders which we can exploit, but that only buys us time, not victory. Oligarchs play the long game, and our "quick fixes" will fall by the wayside, something to keep in mind. Don't buy into the lies, no matter how plausible, how attractive. They have been doing it for eons and are too damned good at it.
