It's a rig

Just sitting around watching videos, and there was this one about how one of the Super Bowls was rigged. Actually, several of them were allegedly rigged. The video made an interesting case, but if it was rigged, how do you ever prove it?


There was a mention of a few games here, but that is not the point. The point will get covered later. But first, a brief survey of games. The first alleged rigged game was the famous guaranteed victory game in Super Bowl III. The motive was money, as the losing team's owner liked to gamble. So, the motive was to throw the game in order to win the bet. Seems plausible, eh? Then there was the game in which some questionable events took place, and it involved the Raiders. You don't need to say a whole more than the Raiders and Al Davis. The motivation was that the Raiders' coach didn't like his team, and the change in game plan just before the game was suspicious. Then there was the Super Bowl in which the officials seemed to throw the game in favor of the Steelers. The Steelers were playing near Pittsburg, and it became the Bettis Bowl. One for the thumb and for Jerome Bettis, the "Bus". It was somehow an accusation against the "system", it would seem.


Since this isn't really about football, since there are accusations of rigged elections too. Particulaly the 2020 election. Given everything that has happened around Donald Trump, it does appear that a concerted effort is being made to deny him any power even if the people vote for it. You've got one-sided media, one-sided court cases, and now that he's back in the White House, he cannot govern because of Lawfare. Another rigged game.

 

Trump is in good shape politically, but how will he be able to accomplish what he was elected to accomplish if the system will not allow him to do it? His main tool in resetting the economy is with the tariffs, and now that has been shot down. A fair question could be asked, but will it ever be answered honestly?


I wouldn't bet on it. If it is indeed a rigged game, then it won't matter what someone deserves. He will get what the system will allow, because the system controls events, and not the public. In the meantime, the system preaches to the rest of us about democracy and the rule of law.


Time to call bullshit. There's no democracy and there's no rule of law. It may be hard to prove it with undeniable evidence, but you cannot deny a systemic reaction to one Donald J. Trump. That makes the whole system suspicious. Just saying.
