OPINION: Did Trump implement devolution and therefore retain some control?

The nuclear age and Cold War against socialism brought about a greater need to protect the continuity of government (COG) from enemies of the Republic, foreign and domestic. The greatest threat to America for the last hundred years has been the threat of socialism (See "A Trump Return -- Devolution Explained?" LibertyUnderFire). But what if America had to fight socialists on its own soil and they conquered from within by a fraudulent election? In every subdued country, freedom died, as did many of its citizens.

The military takes a solemn oath to preserve the Constitution from enemies foreign and domestic. Freedom from excessive government protected by the Constitution is the first fatality of socialist governments. In this country, the military's first responsibility is to protect the Constitution and the Republic created by it -- not the immediate president or federal government. Our Republic, protected by the Constitution, and socialism are polar opposites. Socialism accepts nothing that limits its power.

In the presidential election of 2020, the United States fell to Democratic Socialism. Therefore, at what point does the military under devolution exercise its responsibility to remove the threat to the Constitution and to the Republic? President Eisenhower, when he nailed down devolution as the appropriate response, as outlined previously, had this type of event in mind. No government entity has the authority to remove the Republic or the Constitution that created it -- even if it were by questionable popular vote. Still, something that is not valued will in time be lost no matter what dead founders and past presidents have established.

But we probably do not have to face this moment quite yet. There are two issues that may save us, election integrity and the China connection with covid. If forensic audits prove indisputably, as they appear to be doing, that election fraud brought the wrong political party to power, that can be reversed by the Constitution. The states can and must rescind their electoral votes as soon as possible and those knowingly participating must be tried for treason -- especially if holding high office. This too, if covid was used intentionally to affect the election. If China electronically switched Trump votes to Biden, it is an act of war, as is also its intentionally unleashing a bioweapon, a killer virus, on the United States and the world.

If the above is true, "this election theft is so much more than fraud. This is war!" Far more "clandestine in nature. It involves cyber warfare, information warfare, electronic warfare, intelligence warfare, space warfare" and, yes, probably biological warfare [covid]. The only option at Trump's disposal was to initiate devolution through our military." This is why the incoming Biden transition team complained that the Trump team would not tell them of all special covert operations -- presumably one dealt with evidence of Biden stealing the election (Devolution Part 3, Continuity of Government, Patel Patriot, July 14, 2021).

President Trump never conceded the election and if either fraud or China threw the election to Biden, he remains the president, and continuity of government (COG) also remains in place. The election was instead a coup. We do not need devolution, the military, unless Biden or Harris refuses to leave the White House, which is likely.

There exists some evidence that Trump implemented COG before leaving the White House and allowed Biden to "play house" to show America how entrenched and how tyrannical Deep State rule would be. Otherwise, half of America would never believe how deceived they had been. There is nothing the Biden Administration has touched that has not been a disaster: the insane national debt, unrestrained invasion on our southern border, covid shutdowns, mandatory masking and vaccines, escalating gas and food prices, uncontrolled inflation, its defiance of the Bill of Rights, its Afghanistan fiasco, etc.

Biden is America's absolute worst president ever! His popularity decreases in the same proportion as Trump's rises. America is awakening!

What evidence? Whether speaking of the Wuhan China Virus as an act of war, or China's interference in our presidential election, Trump told reporters, "We went through the worst attack we've ever had on our country; this is [the] worst attack we've ever had. This is worse than Pearl Harbor, this is worse than the World Trade Center. There's never been an attack like this. And it should have never happened. Could've been stopped right at the source and it wasn't." These acts were followed by declarations of war on Japan and Iraq, as should be so with China also. Trump then assumed war powers and devolution, which substantially increased his powers to save the Republic (Devolution Part 4: A Wartime President, Patel Patriot, July 17, 2021).

What evidence? He selected firm patriots to challenge what his sources revealed to be a coup election. He chose to fight two days after the Deep State media called the victory for Biden. On November 9th, he promoted Christopher C. Miller to Acting Secretary of Defense. The next day, Anthony Tata, a specialist in DOD continuity policy, was added. David Norquist was already on board as budget manager for funding special operations. Then on Nov. 11, Kashyap Patel (operation planning) and Ezra Cohen-Watnik (special operations and low-intensity conflict) were added. He was also in charge of classified information that could be released to the public as needed. These units specialized in "protecting against subversion, lawlessness, insurgency, terrorism and other threats to their internal security, and stability, and legitimacy" (Ibid.).

So is Biden running the country? Perhaps, but I do not believe, despite his Afghanistan fiasco, he is totally running the military. They are waiting for the audits proving a coup, George Soros's funded socialist anarchists to again burn cities as a result, perhaps the Durham report documenting even more corruption. Then the military will begin the arrests and trials. We will soon know.
