Op-ed views and opinions expressed are solely those of the author.

It is a very long-held truth, that things are not always what they seem. And a lot of the time, they are designed to be.

Back in 2020, during the campaign for President, Joe Biden spent his time concealed in his basement putting on the appearance of lunch bucket Joe, from Scranton: a moderate, competent middle-aged man who would act for the public good, from the political center.

When he achieved office, Joe Biden enacted policies which are the epitome of socialism by way of names intended to kamaflage their real intent, and they have been many. The Inflation Reduction Act legislation had nothing to do with reducing inflation; it has everything to do with a one-party takeover of the energy sector of our nation.

Another policy making its way into the American mainstream is delightfully titled Diversity, Equity, Inclusion; which sounds really nice… In reality it is a socialist indoctrination system designed to put one political party at the center of every private company’s human resources department, whether companies like it or not. It is a method whereby “a” political party decides who you can hire and who you can fire. It also lays the legal framework for businesses being sued by individuals or the federal government for non-compliance with DEI guidelines.

Then there is the Environmental Social Governance policy, which is another veil of a title, hiding a socialist maneuver to control what companies receive government contracts, bank loans or institutional investments – it is yet another means, beyond the regulatory state – to control who succeeds and who fails in our increasingly unfair marketplace. Is it socialist? They use the same kind of point system in assessing good or bad behavior in businesses and citizens in Communist China. A person or business is only as successful as their compliance to government dictates allows them to be…

Who would have thought good ol’ American Joe Biden, the stolid bastion of Scranton, would prove to be a trojan horse loaded with policies copied from China’s CCP. What kamaflage!

To keep their trojan horse politically viable, the equally hidden Democrat Party oligarchy hid Joe’s incapacity to govern, by governing through him for three years; and then putting him in hiding during a primary season that was, again, pure kamaflage, by changing 60 primary rules which kept any viable candidate for the nomination out of the process and off a debate stage.

When ‘ol Joe was finally unveiled to be an empty vessel whose mutterings were incoherent, the veil had to drop on his campaign, yet not on the oligarchs in charge of the campaign. Who are they?

Enter the anointed, unelected Kamaflage Harris, 30 days before mail in balloting begins, 90 days before election day itself, having not been through one debate during the primary season, when her policy proposals might have been defined ahead of mail in balloting. And how she is portrayed! Time magazine boasts a cover which has Kamala’s appearing like a messiah…like Barack Obama or Che Guevara, proclaiming: “It is her time!”

And the change of policies…Harris claims she will not ban fracking. Harris claims she will beef up border enforcement and even build the wall. Harris claims she will not outlaw private insurance. Of course, these are claims not stated by Kamala herself, but through an “anonymous staffer,” so the veil of deniability remains.

How can we see through all of this Kamaflage? Normally, in democratic countries, one views unbiased debates in which candidates state their views plainly. Here again, our country was mis served by being given an ABC debate which was more like a World Wrestling Federation 3 on 1 grudge match against Donald Trump, where candidate Harris was obviously given the questions ahead of time; and whose answers and facial expressions were obviously well-rehearsed for the cameras.

In a venue where Harris would ideally define her policies for the sake of the electorate, she was never asked about the Green New Deal or DEI or ESG, or about private healthcare or even given an obvious layup question: like whether she believes in transgenderism in women’s athletics.

As the campaign goes on, kamaflage is being thrown over Harris’ opponent. Harris has stated Donald Trump will institute a 20% national sales tax; ban abortion nationwide; cut Medicare and Social Security; and he will jail journalists and his political opponents. This characterization of Trump policy is all a lie; it’s all another disguise.

Who is jailing political opponents? Ask Steven Bannon, during visiting hours, at his prison.

The truth beyond all the kamaflage is that one or a very few people control Joe Biden. One or a very few people are determining on very nice sounding policies, which are socialist equivalents to policies being used in communist China. One or a few people decided there would be no Democrat primary process. One or a few people decided Kamala Harris would be the replacement candidate (not the 14,000,000 who voted for Joe Biden.) One or a few people dictated to the media how to promote Harris. One or a few people determined what questions Harris would be asked in the debate… and in every controlled subsequent interview.

It is time to take off the blinders and see the real menace of the Kamaflage candidate from the Kamaflaged Party.

It’s time Harris openly proclaim herself and her Party as socialists.  But then, the Party would be over.
