COMMENT: Wow. All the major people who have touted a Harris victory have never been wrong. Newsweek proclaimed every major forecaster gave it to Harris. Socrates has projected every single race without fail. I know. I bet them. Trump flipped Georgia, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin in his favor, leading to the Republican’s victory. When will the world wake up and give you credit for creating a system that has beaten the odds every single time?

In Trump’s vocabulary. “Fantastic!”

Every Podcast should be giving you credit right now to help the world understand the truth.

REPLY: Socrates was the only one correct in 2016 and BRXIT. It functions WITHOUT polling – it’s economic based. Those in the media are mostly LEFTISTS so they always forecast what they want to see. Polls are not reliable because they sample people but who controls the sample? If you had conducted a poll only in Washington, DC, Trump would have had maybe 5%.

As I have said on Greg Hinter’s Podcast, the computer was showing the gap would be TOO BIG to fix this time. Trump’s reelection has brought him into a unique club, joining Democrat Grover Cleveland as one of only two U.S. presidents to serve nonconsecutive terms. Trump is the 45th president and now the 47th president.  Trump followed Cleveland’s path, which was held in office in 1885 and then again in 1893. The rare achievement highlights Trump’s sustained influence over a divided electorate and the discontent with the establishment. Cleveland may have been a Democrat, but he was also against members of his own party – the Silver Democrats.

Cleveland faced the same type of divided country, especially within his own party. He stood against the rise of Marxism as has Trump. The Democrats were then flooding the country with silver to inflate the nation. Sherman Silver Purchase Act of 1890 was passed by the U.S. Congress to supplant the Bland-Allison Act of 1878. It not only required the U.S. government to purchase nearly twice as much silver as before, 4,500,000 ounces (130,000 kilograms) per month, but it also added substantially to the amount of money already in circulation. The Sherman Silver Purchase Act, named after John Sherman, was enacted in support of the advocates of the Free Silver Democrats. This Act created massive unsound finance that undermined the U.S. Treasury’s gold reserves. Only after the Panic of 1893 did President Grover Cleveland call a special session of Congress and secure the repeal of the Act. His speech is recorded above.

This economic evolution of the real Long Depression (1873-1899) created a “depression” for many as unemployment rose yet monopolies grew as did corporate profits for many in the right field. It wiped out Philadelphia as the financial capital of the United States, and J.P. Morgan would move that to New York City with his innovation. From this highly volatile period, as we are entering today, what emerged from socialism/Marxism burst to the surface, producing Coxley’s Army, which marched upon Washington following the  Panic of 1893. It was this march that led to the idea of socialism, for FDR took most of the demands first argued by Coxley that government should create jobs for the unemployed. This led to the Antitrust Legislation and the Progressive Movement of Teddy Roosevelt.

Coxley’s March became the subject of Lyman Baum’s Wizard of Oz – We’re off to see the wizard the wonderful wizard of Oz (Congress) following the Yellow Brick Road (gold standard & austerity). This economic event created serious change.

This entire series of legislation that set in motion the various financial Panics of the 1890s was inspired at least by Karl Marx (1818-1883). Despite the Sherman Silver Purchase Act being repealed, none of the other legislation was repealed, yet it was all the same inspiration.

To this day, we still have the Sherman Anti-Trust Act, which Marx inspired, and the idea was based upon the observation that all of these start-up railroads were being purchased and consolidated. The politicians saw this as eliminating jobs, considering labor rather than economic efficiency. This entire rise of Marxism culminated in the passage of the Income Tax Act in 1909, rejecting the Founding Fathers’ wisdom of no direct taxation and adopting Karl Marx’s philosophy has undermined our nation, and the DOJ uses income tax to threaten journalists to kill or spin stories that they want or else!

Politicians found it worked to print to win elections that has given us our national debt, and they have pointed at the rich using Marxism to target the “rich.” This election was a referendum on Marxism that main stream media refuses to address.

Ironically, I almost bought Westland Mansion, which was the home of Grover Cleveland in Princeton, New Jersey, where he spent his retirement from 1897 until his death in 1908.
