There are disturbing signs that a digital 9/11 terror attack is being readied for election day in the US to ensure that Donald Trump does not win.
Such an attack -- involving widespread internet and power outage -- would have nothing to do with Russia or any other foreign state. It would be furnished by agencies of the US Deep State in a classic "false flag" covert manner. But the resulting chaos and "assault on American democracy" will be conveniently blamed on Russia.
That presents a double benefit. Russia would be further demonized as a foreign aggressor "justifying" even harsher counter measures by America and its European allies against Moscow.
Secondly, a digital attack on America's presidential election day this week, would allow the Washington establishment to pronounce the result invalidate due to "Russian cyber subversion." That option stands to be invoked if the ballot results showed Republican candidate Donald Trump as the imminent victor.
Democrat rival Hillary Clinton is the clear choice for the White House among the Washington establishment. She has the backing of Wall Street finance capital, the corporate media, the military-industrial complex and the Deep State agencies of the Pentagon and CIA. The fix has been in for months to get her elected by the powers-that-be owing to her well-groomed obedience to American imperialist interests.
The billionaire property magnate Trump is too much of a maverick to be entrusted with the White House, as far as the American ruling elite are concerned.
The trouble is, however, that despite the massive campaign to discredit Trump his poll support remains stubbornly close to Clinton's. The latter has been tainted with too many scandals involving allegations of sleazy dealings with Wall Street, so-called pay-for-play favors while she was former Secretary of State, and her penchant for inciting overseas wars for regime change using jihadist terrorist foot-soldiers.
As one headline from McClatchy News only days ago put it: "Majority of voters think Clinton acted illegally, new poll finds."
Trump is right. The US presidential election is "rigged." Despite hand-wringing condemnations by pundits, it seems obvious that the system is heavily stacked against any candidate who does not conform with the interests of the establishment. The massive media-orchestrated campaign against Trump is testimony to that.
But such is popular disgust with Clinton, her sleaze-ball husband Bill and the Washington establishment that her victory is far from certain. Indeed in the last week before voting this Tuesday various polls are showing a neck-and-neck race with even some indicators putting the Republican narrowly ahead.
Over the weekend, the Washington Post, which has been one of the main media outlets panning Trump on a daily basis, reported this: "The electoral map is definitely moving in Trump's direction."
This is where a possible Deep State contingency plan is being readied to scupper a shock win by Trump.
In recent days, American media are reporting a virtual state of emergency by the US government and its security agencies to thwart what they claim are Russian efforts to incite "election day cyber mayhem."
In one "exclusive" report by the NBC network on November 3, it was claimed that: "The US government believes hackers from Russia or elsewhere may try to undermine next week's presidential election and is mounting an unprecedented effort to counter their cyber meddling."
