Did McCain Die for the Deep State He Served?

I’m going to share with you a thought I had yesterday, I’m not saying I’m sure it’s true. Everything seems so propagandistic and staged right now, particularly in the last 24 hours, that I’m just going to put it out there anyways. I’m going to do this more often, as we are forced to be in a continual state of speculation when we are continually lied to; smaller, experimental, openly conjectural mini-essays released between my longer ones.

What if McCain – terminally ill but with perhaps several months left to live if he continued with his medical regimen – stopped his treatment in order to die before the midterms, thereby making his funeral into a massive propaganda venue, a chance to get the Establishment into one room to make their pitch? Establishment/McCain vs. Anything that is Not a Part of the Neocon/Globalist Agenda.

For a high profile member of the political elite thinking about their legacy, and understanding that their death can be put to use as propaganda to advance the agendas they spent their lives serving, this does not seem like a bad deal:

“Sure, I could maybe stick around for another Christmas, but I would be in pain, and barely present mentally. If I go now, all of the speeches written and spoken before the press can contain messages that could help keep this country on course. Let’s do it. The time is right.”
