One of the more egregious ways presidential elections are influenced is via the televised debate forum.

And defining the playing the field helps control outcomes.<\/p>\n<p>The charade will be repeated again in 2024. For the globalist elites threatening the very survival of our nation, it\u2019s hard to come up with a more reliable company man than CNN\u2019s Jake Tapper. The ludicrously biased Tapper will <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/media\/cnns-jake-tapper-called-trumps-presidency-nightmare-tapped-moderate-presidential-debate\">co-host<\/a> the first Trump-Biden debate of this electoral season on June 27 along with his CNN colleague Dana Bash.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not Tapper\u2019s partisanship per se that is at issue but what that partisanship entails and who and what he serves. To think of it merely as \u201cliberal bias\u201d misses the mark completely. Tapper is a carefully chosen gatekeeper for a deeply corrupt establishment. His entire career owes its existence to his official membership in that club.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_135391\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-135391\" style=\"width: 450px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-135391\" src=\"https:\/\/www.worldtribune.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/tapkim.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"253\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-135391\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">It&#8217;s no surprise that corrupt establishment gatekeeper Jake Tapper is good friends with establishment house dog Jimmy Kimmel. \/ Video Image<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>This column has spent the past five years documenting the various powerful forces that make up this cartel aligned against the American people. Moneyed \u201cphilanthropists\u201d and internationalist \u201cthink tanks\u201d are crucial spokes in this tyrannical wheel.<\/p>\n<p>Jake Tapper is closely and overwhelmingly tied to literally all the leading figures of that elitist spoke.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s start with his membership card. Tapper is a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cfr.org\/membership\/roster\">listed member<\/a> of the globalist Council on Foreign Relations. Biden administration Secretary of State Antony Blinken is also a CFR member. Tapper frequently interviews and covers Blinken as part of his \u201cjournalism\u201d duties at CNN.<\/p>\n<p>Do the American people realize that when Tapper asks Blinken tough questions like why can\u2019t the US send more billions of dollars to Ukraine, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/videos\/politics\/2023\/09\/10\/sotu-blinken-full.cnn\">as he did<\/a> in September 2023, this is literally two members of an internationalist organization promulgating <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cfr.org\/article\/will-ukraine-survive\">one particular side<\/a> on an issue they both want to advance?<\/p>\n<p>Jake Tapper has gone well out of his way to defend infamous progressive globalist billionaire George Soros.<\/p>\n<p>In May 2023, he sweepingly condemned criticism of Soros as anti-Semitic:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"See Elon Musk\u2019s baseless claims about George Soros\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/unnkypDCpkI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>In May 2024, he was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thegatewaypundit.com\/2024\/05\/cnn-fact-checker-defends-george-soros-frequent-target\/\">at it again<\/a>, teaming up with CNN political \u201cfact checker\u201d Daniel Dale.
