COMMENT: I have been a Democrat all my life, and I am 72. I suppose I was a Democrat because my father was. Like you, after watching what they have been doing to Trump and the flood of illegal aliens that have resulted in my own neighborhood becoming no longer safe, I will vote for Trump. After Bernie Thompson put in a bill to strip felons of Secret Service protection and deny RFK Secret Service protection, it is becoming painfully clear these people will kill opponents just to retain power. That no longer reflects what my father believed in and fought in World War II to protect no I in Vietnam. I have always watched your political forecasts from Socrates with curiosity. Now I can see its forecasts are inevitable.
God bless you for your contribution to humankind.

REPLY: Yes, I grew up in a Democratic house. My father took me to see John F. Kennedy in 1960 in Willingboro, New Jersey. He shook my hand, but unlike Bill Clinton, that did not inspire me to run for president. I was raised with the belief in being fair and against corruption. There is no way my father would be a Democrat today. The Democratic Party no longer represents what it once did.
Through my years, all I have witnessed is how handing ANY power to those in government becomes like a drug addiction, and they will stoop to absolutely anything to retain that power. This is our current crisis. The Democratic motto should be: We have defeated the enemy. We occupy the Hill. We have become the enemy. Walt Kelly, an American cartoonist (1913-1973), said: “We have met the enemy, and he is us!”
We all have opinions. Yet, Socrates does not. It has taught me a lot about life and the evolution of society itself. Democrats are discovering that weaponizing the law against Trump has not been successful. The respect for them has collapsed internationally. There is NOBODY I have spoken to outside this country who does not view this as political and shocking. They thought the United States was the beacon of liberty in the world. This is not my personal opinion; these timing arrays have been produced long before our current political crisis. This election in 2024 will NEVER be accepted by either side. You will not have enough police or prison space to contain the civil unrest. Biden is doing everything possible to simultaneously create World War III as a distraction from the political corruption unfolding before our eyes.
The LEFT is historically ALWAYS the most violent, no matter what country. The LEFTIST revolutions of 1848 and 1917, as well as Mao in China, all resulted in the deaths of OVER 200 million people. You never see this from the RIGHT, which tends to be based on you leaving me alone and me leaving you alone. The LEFT is always determined to control everyone, forcing them to conform to their ideas no matter what country they look at.
We can see that both the 2016 forecast and the 2024 forecast show that Trump should win. This is all based on economics – not polling and asking people. Polls have been wrong so many times. If you asked if Biden would win and you only called people in NYC, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Philadelphia, and Washington, DC, of course, you would get a 70%+ poll. Even for BREXIT in London, our computer was correct, and ALL the polls in London were wrong. They manipulate the questions to produce the bias of the people conducting the poll.
Was the 2020 election rigged? Absolutely! All the studies show that removing the mail-in ballots won Trump’s election. However, the computer showed 50/50 rates with three models for each side. The computer forecasts have been correct. They are by no means my opinion.
Normally, at most, 10% of the population decides the president. It is always the independent thinker. Obama won the general election with 52.9% of the popular vote. I have said many times, that the only presidents ever elected with more than 60% were FDR, Johnson after the Kennedy Assassination, and Richard Nixon. Everyone else wins with typically less than 55%. This is NOT a Democracy. We live in a Republic. ALL republics collapse from within. No enemy will defeat America; we are doing that quite well without the help of Putin or Xi. You cannot do what Biden is doing, using a couple of percent to impose a dictatorship upon the rest.
Now, look at the projections for 2028. I have NEVER seen a president get 70%, no less than 78.3%, of the vote. The footnote that Socrates is highlighting is that there may not even be a 2028 election. We are staring into the eyes of civil unrest that will tear the country apart at the seams.
The Democrats have been trying to bar Trump from running with the 14th Amendment BS. That has not worked, so they have Soros-backed Democrats prosecuting Trump in four forums, trying to bleed him dry financially while simultaneously keeping him off the campaign trail with outrageous court orders. Even this is not enough. They have utterly destroyed everything the Constitution was meant to prevent. LIBERTY no longer exists. Just look at what they are doing to Jake Lang. This is the treatment you get when they have no valid evidence.
The government lied to us about COVID. That has started the collapse of confidence in the government. Socrates warned the PEAK IN GOVERNMENT CONFIDENCE was 2015.75 on the ECM. Trump was elected in 2016, and the Democrats have been doing everything to defend the SWAMP.
Just look at the so-called terrorists in Guantanamo Bay. Why are they never put on trial and are still imprisoned without Due Process of Law against everything every nation has ascribed to for generations? Because those in government WILL NEVER ADMIT A MISTAKE! The Jury found him not guilty of 223 counts. Ahmed Khalfan Ghailani was the BEST case they had. Obama reiterated his first campaign promise to close Guantanamo Bay and end torture back in 2008. That was a lie, and it is still open 23 years later. Why has nobody else been placed on trial? Because they have no case. When they tried to secretly release some prisoners, they sent them back in jeans and t-shirts. They were killed because others assumed that they had been brainwashed by the Americans. The government will not put these people on trial because they were WRONG!
Despite these unprecedented and desperate measures they are now targeting against Trump, he still beats President Joe Biden in key battleground states. They have destroyed the rule of law for political gain, and this alone will destroy the nation because when the other side gains power, they will retaliate and do the same. This is an invitation to prosecutors in the Red States to start going after the Democrats for interfering in the election. We all know now that COVID was a lie, Epstein didn’t kill himself, and Biden didn’t win.
The unhappy reality is that their illegal campaign against Trump pretending to use law, relentless as it’s been, isn’t working out quite the way they had anticipated. When it comes time to redesign the government, we MUST strip the government of any right to prosecute crimes legally. In ancient Athens, if you killed someone, it was the duty of their family to prosecute you—not the state. The only state crimes were against the state or the gods—i.e., the trial of Socrates. The king of England used to fine people for anything. That was the Magna Carta insistent upon a jury trial. He lost revenue and then inserted himself into private disputes, claiming the theory it “disturbed his peace.” Suddenly, the King became the prosecutor, and in so doing, he used the law for political purposes, which is what John Stuart Mill wrote in his epic book – On Liberty. He explained that the reform still had not freed the people from “legal persecution.”
The Sixth Amendment to the US Constitution ensured the right to counsel. Why? Shakespeare’s account that the “first thing we do, let’s kill all the lawyers” meant the king’s prosecutors because the people had no lawyers. This is the damage that the Democrats have unleashed upon the United States once again. These trials of Trump are interfering in the 2024 election, and historians will remember it as the beginning of the end of the United States. They will tear our nation apart at the seams. This is all the evil that the American Revolution was about. History repeats.
As Democrats rack their brains to come up with new and more creative ways to destroy Trump and retain power, Alex Soros showed the way implying assassinate Trump. We now have Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-MS), a ranking member of the House Committee on Homeland Security, who has turned his attention to Soros’s suggestion. Soros is not just funding prosecutors to overturn the United States; he is interfering in elections, desperately trying to turn Florida and Texas Blue.
Thompson is trying to set the stage for that assassination by removing Trump’s personal safety. Thompson introduced a bill designed to strip convicted felons of Secret Service protection. Here is the issue. A felon can run for President – that is NOT a bar to holding office. In case you’re wondering just how many convicted felons are currently receiving Secret Service protection, the answer is ZERO. But all that could change in a New York minute if Trump, who is facing 88 felony charges, is convicted on at least one.
Let me explain something here. THIS IS NOT POLITICAL GRAND STANDING-people are really saying kill Trump! The word behind the scenes is the Democrats are so fearful of losing their control that there are far more people taking that Trump needs a bullet. Even Alan Dershowitz has now come out and publically stated what many of us are hearing behind the headlines. The media would cheer if Trump is assassinated. Never in my entire life did I ever expect to see how low the politics have fallen into pure hatred. There was a guy who said he would put a bullet in Trump’s head, and the Department of Justice can’t find him – clearly because they don’t want to. Democratic Rep. Jason Crow said on CNN, of course:
“Donald Trump is a very violent and dangerous man,” Crow said, speaking on CNN this afternoon. “He is unstable. He is not well … he is a danger to … the domestic security of our nation and the security of individual Americans.”
Statements like these are inciting violence on the opposite end of the political spectrum. The Democrats are so desperate to change the very fabric of the United States with their WOKE agenda seeking to destroy the family unit and divide groups, pitting them against one another, that we are dangerously cascading into a banana republic where heads of state are just assassinated to win elections. This is not the country I grew up in, and it is not what I wish to leave to my grandchildren.
CENTRALIZED governments are authoritarian, and these decrees from Washington to rule from above are the very same usurpation that Stalin pulled off in Russia. Most assume he poisoned Lenin, who envisioned Russia as a confederation of independent states retaining their sovereignty, as was the case once upon a time in the United States. Lenin has even left a letter warning DO NOT ALLOW STALIN to follow him. When a federal government seeks dictatorial power over everyone, imposing a one-size-fits-all agenda, it cannot possibly survive. God help us! It was Khrushchev who began the de-Stalinization of Russia when he came to office. He tried to return Russia to the vision of Lenin. But the powers that be would not have that, and they staged a coup to remove him from office and replace him with Brezhnev. History repeats because HUMAN NATURE never changes, no matter what country you look at. We are in the midst of a coup to retain centralized power.
This New York Judge Merchan wants to imprison Trump, hoping that will secure the victory for Biden to complete the destruction of the United States as we know it. In this contempt hearing, the prosecutors said they are seeking a fine. “We are not yet seeking an incarceration penalty,” Assistant District Attorney Chris Conroy said. Many have been cautioning about imprisoning Trump. That would divide the country like never before, and there might not be enough police in NYC to protect this judge and prosecutors. Thus, many have been warning not to imprison Trump, but some have proposed putting him in a holding cell in the courthouse rather than on Riker’s Island. This would create a real nightmare for the Secret Service, but sources confirm they are planning contingencies. This, no doubt, is the support behind Thompson stripping the Secret Service from a felon so Judge Merchan can imprison Trump.
Bidin is pushing a 44.6% capital gains tax plus your state tax, which will devastate investment. Undoubtedly, our computer shows a recession into 2028, which can be achieved by undermining investment. The Democrats did that to real estate and created the Savings & Loan crisis by raising taxes, and they created a sell-only market. Whatever wealth you thought you had in your home will be destroyed under this Democratic proposal. They view us as the enemy, and they decide what we are allowed to keep from our income because the LEFT always sees us as economic slaves, and they own everything. Schwab is saying that when you will own nothing, but you will NOT be happy – I went behind the Berlin Wall before it fell.
Representative Dan Goldman, a New York Democrat and former prosecutor who worked on Trump’s first impeachment inquiry in the House, has been a particularly outrageous Democrat who has vehemently hated Trump, claiming he is a threat to Democracy. But that is minor. He said this during an appearance on MSNBC‘sInside With Jen Psaki.
“It is just unquestionable at this point that that man cannot see public office again. He is not only unfit. He is destructive to our democracy, and he has to be eliminated.”

One of the basic rules of war is that you always keep two fronts going simultaneously. The first is the obvious battlefield. However, the second is communication. Suppose you DO NOT keep communication open through the back channels. In that case, there is NEVER the possibility of PEACE, and the war then becomes concluded only when one side is obliterated. This is what has taken place, and the demonizing of Putin is HIGHLY dangerous, for it shows there is no intention of peace. You cannot keep calling someone a piece of shit publicly and then expect the people to accept a reversal of that policy.
Demonizing an opponent is to create hatred that leads your troops to be willing to die for some greater good. Field Marshall Goring explained it well when he was on trial at Nuremberg. You always denounce the peacemakers as conspiracy theorists, or as Nuland is calling the anti-war Republicans – “Putin’s wing of the Republican Party.” Victoria Nuland is the real Commander & Chief, not Biden, who is directing this war. She has made clear that she has absolutely no intention of stopping the war. The Neocons have spent their entire lives drooling at the thought of conquering Russia and China. When Communism fell, they never changed their view. When Ronald Reagan wanted to meet with Gorbachev, sensing that Russia wanted to end Communism, the Neocons objected, and I can tell you they told him, “You can never trust a Russian.” Reagan refused to listen and met with Gorbachev, and the Berlin Wall collapsed.
There was a peace deal that this war would have been over in 6 weeks. Putin withdrew his troops from the outskirts of Kiev as a sign of good faith that the deal would be that Zelensky would have secured the rights of the people in the Donbas and agreed not to join NATO. Putin agreed to withdraw all his troops from the occupied region in return for that agreement.
The Neocons sent Boris Johnson to kill that peace deal, proving that the West, from the outset, wanted this war they spent time to create. Since then, 500,000 Ukrainians have died, countless millions have fled Ukraine, and now sending more arms will not matter if there is nobody there left standing to fight.
This is why Zelensky fired Ukraine’s top commander, General Valerii Zaluzhnyi, over his objection to the offensive and the astronomical health toll. Zelensky told the truth and initiated a draft for 500,000 fresh troops. Zaluzhnyi warned that Ukraine could not defeat Russia. The conflict with Russia had become a stalemate for months. Zaluzhnyi was very popular with the troops, and firing him was a major mistake that Zelensky, lacking any military experience, thought a general could just order people to die with no repercussions. Zelenskyy appointed the commander of Ukraine’s ground forces, Col. Gen. Oleksandr Syrskyi, to lead the army, which was a sharp blow to the morale of the troops.
Syrskyi has been instrumental in Ukraine’s biggest successes during the war, including overseeing the defense of the capital in the early days of the invasion. Syrskyi was born in 1965 in the village of Novinki, Vladimir Oblast, Russian SFSR, then in the Soviet Union, into a military family of ethnic Russians. As of 2023, his parents and brother live in Russia. This demonstrates how intermixed the entire Ukraine is with ethnic Russians as Ukrainians today. I have reported previously that Kruschev grew up there and rebuilt Kiev after World War II. He merely reassigned Crimea to be administered by Kiev when it was part of Russia. Then, his successor, Brezhnev, was born in the Donbas.
The geopolitical situation concerning the Ukraine war will catalyze World War III. Historians said Europe, with its alliances, stumbled into World War I. The same is unfolding here in the 21st century. Political leaders make decisions on the immediate event without ever even thinking about what will be the next step.
This Ukrainian War is very much intertwined with the rise of China as an economic and Military superpower. Ukraine has become the stomping ground concerning the rivalry of the three great powers: the United States, Russia, and China.
The Ukraine war has triggered a completely new dynamic in the relationship between these great powers with respect to this rivalry. What is being overlooked here is that China, and not Russia, is capable of replacing the United States as the leading world economic and military power, as we warned several years ago, back in 2011 and 2018. Our model projected that China would eventually replace the United States as the leading economic power.
A number of people did not like that forecast, but my job was to present the UNBIASED projections of the computer. I have grandkids. I hate to see the future we are leaving behind. This is the data from the Federal Reserve. The differential peak occurred in 2006 with a premium of $1.3 trillion. Even since then, China has been growing in leaps and bounds, and it may even surpass the US in the 2025/2026 period and reach a peak by 2032.
All I can do is show the trend and provide the timing as to when this will unfold. This war that the Neocons are hell-bent on launching will destroy the United States in the process. The risk of dissent and even a separatist movement because of their demonizing Trump and everyone who voted for him is causing a major divide. Even Jamie Dimon has warned the Democrats this hatred they hurl at Trump is dividing the country and our model shows the separatist movement is rising. Even more than one-third of Alaskans want to separate from the USA now.
The immediate American National Security Strategy confirms the forecast we made back in 2011 and 2018 that the People’s Republic of China is the only competitor that intends to reshape the international order economically while its political government increasingly possesses the diplomatic, military, and technological power to propel and fulfill Beijing’s ambitions to create an extended sphere of influence in the Indo-Pacific region. Eventually, China will become the world’s leading economic and military power.
This is why, in the Ukraine War, the United States Neocons aimed to weaken Russia, its second geopolitical rival, politically, economically, and militarily. Then, they intend to focus on the confrontation with China, their formidable and biggest adversary. To achieve their strategic goal, the Neocons have sought close cooperation with Europe and pushed NATO to expand to Asia.
Under this new Chancellor of Germany, his visit to Washington demonstrated that Germany was apparently ready to take on a leadership role in the Ukrainian Proxy War. However, NATO intends to bring the European allies involved in a future conflict with China together with Australia, Japan, New Zealand, and South Korea. This is the planned Indo-Pacific network of partners and allies against China. There is reason to infer that Macron’s recent statement to send Troops into Ukraine may be more of a rivalry with Germany for the lead role.
This may seem a wise move on the surface by the Neocons first to take down Russia, which they perceive to be the weaker of the two geopolitical rivals. Secondly, they will launch another Proxy War using Taiwan for canon fodder rather than directly confront China, which is clearly the stronger opponent.
I believe that the Neocons are making a huge mistake by opening a strategic military two-front confrontation against China and Russia, which is a ticking nuclear time bomb that will engulf the entire world. North Korea is producing arms for Russia, and it has instructed its army to “grid for war.” North Korea has a deal manufacturing ammunition for Russia. In return, Russia is providing the desperately needed food for North Korea.
This Proxy War in Ukraine was a turning point for Europe as a whole, for everyone behind the curtain knew it was foolish to think that Ukraine would defeat Russia. This was merely a propaganda pitch the mainstream press was fed and ran with to the detriment of the Ukrainian people. As I have pointed out, it is a psychological tactic to demonize your opponent to get the people to then hate them and apply that image to all people associated with them being in a country or politicos. It is working when you see CNN claimed journalists using hate language to describe Putin.
Zelensky has routinely lied about the casualties to keep up the propaganda. This demonstrates the determination behind this propaganda over the last two years, rendering it understandable when one knows that Germany plays a particularly important role on the geopolitical chessboard of the United States. For years, the unspoken fear was the union of Germany and Russia, which would be a formidable match of industrial production with Russia’s limitless raw materials resources. A union of Russia and Germany would represent the only power that could threaten the United States economically in that sphere comparable to China’s.
This places Macron’s shocking proposition to send NATO troops into Ukraine to appear to be taking the lead from Germany, but also because Ukraine cannot survive. The fall of Ukraine undermines this entire strategy and exposes the flaws in the goals of the Neocons. Russia never intended to conquer Ukraine. Putin only sent in 190,000 troops when Ukraine had nearly 500,000 trained by the West. The fact that Putin’s troops reached Kiev in the first weeks demonstrated the superiority of the Russian military. Sending Western troops into Ukraine, as Macron proposed, would be insane, for then it is a direct confrontation without any communication for peace.
Macron even said, “Nothing should be excluded.“ He also added: “There is no consensus at this stage.” However, Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico suggested that “a number of NATO and EU member states are considering that they will send their troops to Ukraine on a bilateral basis.”He did not offer many details, saying he could not specify why the troops would be sent and their mission.
As I warned, sending in NATO troops to Ukraine will be a Declaration of War. Putin came out and warned that Western nations “must realize that we also have weapons that can hit targets on their territory.” He added: “All this really threatens a conflict with the use of nuclear weapons and the destruction of civilization. Don’t they get that?” Putin has been criticized at home by the hardliners that he has been a fool and that this has been a war really with the USA and NATO.
I have been warning for the past two years that the prospect of creating World War III BEFORE the 2024 election was a reality. The Belarusian President, Alexander Lukashenko, has called it like it is. He is warning that the West is on the ” edge of the abyss ” of World War Three. Lukashenko has made it clear that he has “legitimate concerns” about the likelihood of a global conflict and accused the West of fuelling war tensions and pushing the world towards disaster. I cannot disagree. The F16s were for defense, and now NATO has lifted all restrictions.
“We are literally covered with an information wave of the so-called premonition of the third world war, which just a lazy one still hasn’t mentioned. And there are grounds for these fears,” Lukashenko said, according to Sky News.
Besides Macron, NATO is pushing for war, altering the terms of handing Ukraine weapons for defense to outright invasion of Russia. The head of NATO approved Ukraine to to use the F16s to fly into Russia and start bombing their cities as a deliberate provocation, praying Russia would attack so they could call them the aggressor. All they have to do is honor the Minsk Agreement, and the war will end in 24 hours. These people are filled with such hatred it is beyond description.
Let’s make it very clear. Ukraine has been destroyed, and Zelensky has so much blood on his hands it will never wash off. Ukraine cannot launch any offensive. They are pulling back and now seeking to defend themselves. They have surrendered, and they hope to retake the Donbas; and Russia is likely to take Odesa – where the Ukrainians started the civil war and the whole separatist movement by slaughtering and Russian speaking Ukrainians burning them alive in the Trade Union Building in 2014, pushing their old Nazi position of ethnic cleansing.
The Neocons should take a lesson from the Romans, who knew that war’s outcome was never 100% assured. Their god, Janus, represented the beginning and ending of conflict – war and peace. In ancient Rome, the Temple of Janus stood in the Roman Forum with doors on both ends and inside was a statue of Janus, who is always represented as the two-faced god after whom January is named. So when we celebrate New Year’s Eve, we say goodbye to the past and hello to the future, which is a concept stemming from Janus.
The Gates of the Temple of Janus were the main purpose behind the Temple itself, for it tied together warfare and religious tradition. The opening and closing of the gates were to symbolize either wartime or peace. The historian Virgil said the gates held in Discord and Fury inside the Temple during peace. When the Gates were open, this let the discord free, whereby the historian Horace inferred that if Janus himself was kept locked in the temple, then there was peace. During the reign of Augustus, it was said that the doors were shut three times – Pax Romana.
These Neocons should ponder the question: What if I am wrong? They, like Zelensky, will destroy the West and render it subservient to China in the end.
After the fall of Rome, Byzantium became the major power. When they fell in 1453, the power shifted to India, the source of all the Spice Trade. Their main rival was China, and they eventually overtook India as the Financial Capital of the World. Europe undermined them as the British conquered India and then China. But World War I and II shifted that laurel wreath to the United States. The Neocons have invited war and opened the Gates to let Discord and Flury run freely to engulf the world. This time, the laurel wreath will pass to China. Nothing ever lasts forever.

Nations like Canada and the United States have deemed terms like “mother” or “father” offensive. Canada began demonizing the nuclear family structure in 2018, when Service Canada urged public employees to “use gender-neutral language or gender-inclusive language.” A new memo by US Secretary of State Antony Blinken revealed that public employees may no longer use terms such as “mother” or “father,” also deeming them to be offensive. Why does the family structure threaten governments?
Nations aligned with the World Economic Forum are moving to dismantle the nuclear family. First, they want to obscure the roles of men and women, often not recognizing women at all. Canada, for example, began urging the public sector to use gender-neutral terms like “parent.” “This avoids portraying a perceived bias toward a particular sex or gender,” Service Canada claimed.
The United States followed suit by demonizing all language with an associated gender, such as “son” or “daughter.” This is why Obama commonly used the term “folks” when addressing the public, as “ladies and gentlemen” ruffles the feathers of a select few. Moreover, they are slowly dismantling our personal identities. If you ask a person to describe him or herself, they may begin by saying their age, gender, parental status, and other aspects that people use for self-concept and personal identity. But now, identifying as a mother, daughter, father, or son is somehow offensive.
The extreme side of equality equates to a collective identity. Unlike other older nations where everyone has the same religion, morals, and concept of community, the Build Back Better crowd believes everyone should conform to their model of neutrality that strips one of their individual identity.
These governments are not pandering to the tiny fragment of the population that identifies as transgender; rather, they are slowly removing our personal individual identities at the most basic levels. The pride of being a mother is no longer permitted; you are disregarded as a “birthing person” in some Orwellian dystopian mentality. Anyone can breastfeed, the world health agencies have declared. Most importantly, your child should honor thy government over thy “mother” or “father.”
The far left has been discouraging women from having children because they produce too much carbon to exist while permitting an influx of refugees. Overpopulation is not the problem. Do you think a warmongering neocon like Antony Blinken is worried about offending someone with the wrong terminology? This is outright psychological warfare targeted at Generation Alpha, who will only learn a distorted version of government-directed reality.

I have listened to the oral arguments and have considered this entire 14th Amendment nonsense. Some have tried to argue that it is self-executing, meaning that Congress does not need to write a statute. That is really absurd, for we are talking here about trying to overthrow the entire foundation of democracy when pretending to be defending it. That is like pushing the button to attack Russia because I knew they wanted to do so; therefore, I was acting in self-defense by pushing the button first.
States have the right to control their local elections. However, they cannot interfere in federal elections. To do so would mean that they are depriving the rest of the country of their right to vote, for a federal election cannot take place if some states remove a candidate and others do not. This is a justified argument for separating the United States.
While nobody raised the Commerce Clause refers to Article 1, Section 8, Clause 3 of the U.S. Constitution, the Founding Fathers may have never anticipated a rouge action like Colorado and Maine in banning Trump from the ballot. Still, they did address this issue of one state interfering with the rest of the nation. The Commerce Clause PROHIBITS any state from trying to impose a ban on the exports of another state to boost its own production. The Commerce Clause gives Congress the power “to regulate commerce with foreign nations, among states, and with the Indian tribes.”
The Commerce Clause expressly forbids a state from interfering in national commerce. That jurisdiction is reserved strictly to Congress. I cannot imagine how any state can claim such a power to interfere in the federal election for the national office of the Federal Government that is not a local state office.
If the Supreme Court upholds Colorado’s decision, then it is time to break up the UNION, for it is no longer viable. I fear we will see violence regardless of how the court rules.
The District of Columbia Court of Appeals rejected Trump’s Absolute Immunity claim, saying: “We cannot accept that the office of the presidency places its former occupants above the law for all time thereafter,” the judges wrote.”
The Constitution does not directly discuss presidential immunity from criminal or civil lawsuits. Instead, this privilege has evolved over time through the Supreme Court’s interpretation of Article II, Section 2, Clause 3:
The President shall have Power to fill up all Vacancies that may happen during the Recess of the Senate, by granting Commissions which shall expire at the End of their next Session.
It is generally accepted that the President is absolutely immune from civil liability for suits arising from actions relating to official duties. This includes all acts in the “outer perimeter” of those duties. However, the President is not immune from actions arising from unofficial conduct. In fact, nobody was actually given immunity by the Founding Fathers. It has been the course have have credited immunity – not the Constitution.
“Prosecutorial immunity” is also a judge-made doctrine that cloaks prosecutors in near-absolute immunity from suit. Under this doctrine, prosecutors cannot be sued for any actions related to their job as a prosecutor, no matter how egregious the behavior. For example, prosecutors cannot be sued for knowingly prosecuting an innocent person, withholding evidence of innocence, or even fabricating false evidence of guilt.
Prosecutors can do whatever they want, and you have ZERO rights, even human rights, against those in the Deep State. This entire question of immunity to me defied the Declaration of Independence, and this is the intent of the Constitution to restrain government. With ABSOLUTE IMMUNITY, they can fabricate evidence, put you on trial, and execute all knowing that you were innocent. This defies everything that the Constitution intended.
Declaration of Independent Complaint #15
“For protecting them, by a mock Trial from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States.”
In 1768, two citizens of Annapolis, Maryland, were murdered by Marines from a British ship. Even though there was overwhelming evidence against them, the Marines were acquitted.
I doubted that the Washington, D.C. Court of Appeals would ever rule in favor of Trump. They have their marching orders. To me, either nobody has absolute immunity, or everyone does. There is NOTHING in the Constitution that grants such immunity to anyone! That very proposition stands in direct confrontation with the Declaration of Independence. If this disgusting Jack Smith, who indicts Trump in Washington, which he can control for a crime he has to prosecuted in Florida, shows that he is violating the very intent of the Sixth Amendment. But he is ABSOLUTELY IMMUNE for anything he does to the nation or Trump. That is wrong!
They had President Nixon hands down, and yet they pardoned him to save dividing the nation. Those ideas no longer exist, and the entire problem here is these prosecutions have torn the nation apart and polarized the people. They have set in motion the ultimate division of the United States – it cannot stand as a united nation when one side tries to impose a dictatorship, their ideas offending even the religious beliefs.
In Greek Democracy, it is true that women had no right to vote. What is overlooked is the fact that they did not need one. This was all before SOCIALISM, and there was not even an income tax. The head of the household voted like a congressman for everyone in the house. But those were questions like war. Even if someone killed another, the victim’s family is prosecuted – not the state. The ONLY crimes where the state became evolved were those directly against the state of offending the gods, as was the case with Socrates. With socialism, then laws were made directly against behavior, and income tax was applied to everyone. Thus, everyone then had a right to vote. This is what is tearing the country apart – this belief that one side gets to dictate behavior. What if Muslims gain political control and then dictate you have to have four wives? What if Mitt Romney were president a issued an executive order allowing multiple wives? This is the whole problem that is terminating the union.
So, unfortunately, this entire immunity question is NOT law – it is the discretion of judges, and therein lies the crisis. The Founding Fathers relied upon the definition of law articulated by Lord Coke and Blackstone. Nobody seems to care anymore.

Let me explain something very important. George Soros’ son has come out and said that Trump would not go away unless he is in prison. I am not at liberty to say at this time, but the FIX IS IN and Trump will be imprisoned in the Washington, DC case.
Soros has funded the case in Colorado to kick Trump off the ballot. This is a war for the very soul of the United States. I have had to look at these forecasts projected by the computer, and it is certainly not my aspiration in life. People keep telling me this is my destiny. Perhaps so. But I do not relish laying out these forecasts, for I wish I could prevent the outcome, but OI cannot. No protest can be mustered to prevent this. We have to crash and burn. Only then will the blind finally see, and those who have understood these forecasts will get to perhaps spread the word.
They have done everything they possibly can to stop Trump, for they KNOW he will do his best to prevent their agenda. Yet, unfortunately, the computer has warned that either side will NOT accept the 2024 election. They are outright pushing to put Trump in prison. The Attorney General has now come out pushing for a speedy trial in DC because they think throwing Trump in prison will be the only thing that will stop him.
My deep concern is that we are approaching the 19th cycle of 8.6 from the American Civil War. This only adds to the rising tensions, which will escalate into 2026. These people are so desperate to impose their totalitarian state that they refuse to back off. If they cannot imprison Trump, they will assassinate him. We are approaching the last 8.6 years in this cycle, and they will be the darkest days of our lives. My concern is if the Supreme Court yields to this conspiracy to imprison Trump, it could be like the Dread Scott decision, where they tried to reduce the tension by claiming blacks could not be citizens of the United States and that they were, in fact, property. They thought they were cutting the baby in half to prevent a civil war. But that decision led the people to vote for Abraham Lincoln, who, by the way, was also taken off the ballot in several states. If they buy this argument that Trump was acting as a candidate and NOT as President, then they probably will think that putting him in prison will lower the tensions. That will not end well for them.
World War III is already in motion. There will be no state of peace, and Zelensky was put in that position to facilitate this war. I warned when he took office that this would be the guy who started World War III. Zelensky is nothing like what you think. In the EU, another crisis is brewing. The EU has extended the p[remission for Ukrainian refugees currently living in the EU. The Council agreed to extend the temporary protection for people fleeing Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine from March 4th, 2024, to March 4th, 2025.
However, Zelensky’s general mobilization and a state of war have been in effect in Ukraine since Feb. 24th, 2022, with all men aged 18 to 60 considered eligible for military service and subject to conscription. Men are prohibited from leaving Ukraine, and now the EU is recording the refugees, thereby documenting those who are avoiding Zelensky’s draft.
During a state of war, travel abroad for men in Ukraine is restricted. All military-eligible individuals are forbidden to leave Ukraine, except in cases specified by Cabinet Resolution No. 57. Some military-eligible individuals, lacking the right to leave, have illegally crossed borders and sought asylum in the EU, the United States, or Asian countries. Ukraine lacks a system for holding such individuals to account, but that is rumored to be in the works. Zelensky wants all men returned to die on the battlefield. At this time, Russian soldiers outnumber Ukrainians 4 to 1.
Trump would indeed end the war in 24 hrs. Cut off all funds for the Ukrainian government employees whom Biden is paying their salaries and pensions. Insist that Zelensky honors the Minsk Agreement and the war is over. Those in power right now want war, and they have no intention of ending anything.
Here are the computer projections for the 2024 election. Trump should win, as you can see on 4 out of 6 models. But Models #3 and #4 are shocking. These show such a landslide with 61% to 35% and 59% to 37% projections that this scares the hell out of the globalists. Of course, everyone and their career prostitute at Davos tunes into our political forecasts because they have been correct, are purely unbiased, and are the only REAL Artificial Intelligence with a 40-year track record. They may not like what they see, and they certainly do not like me. The prospect that the next presidential election in 2028 will NOT EVEN TAKE PLACE is a very high probability, according to our computer.
I am NOT putting this out here as some Trump supporter. Personally, I cannot see how they can possibly allow him to win under ANY circumstances. If they put him in prison, they can always claim he committed suicide to get rid of the mess. Since they will be terminating all physical money, replacing them with CBDCs, they won’t ever have to put his picture on a coin where they will constantly be reminded of their treason.
The Computer Says Trump Will Win
Personally, I Cannot See How They Will Allow a Fair Election with that Result.

There is such a thing in the Federal Constitution known as the Supremacy Clause. No state statute can overrule the Constitution. These four judges have actually violated their oath of office, and this could easily rise to the level of Treason. I find it curious that the new Civil War film talks about war with the West, including Colorado. They really should separate, for they do not support the very fabric of what the Constitution stood for.
Colorado will vote for Biden no matter what the outcome is. They are so LEFT; they are just Un-American. These Democrats know that their senile puppet and Bidenomics is a total disaster. They have been scheming to draft girls. They want war, and for whatever reason, historically, the Democrats take us into war, and it seems it always requires a Republican to end it.
As one reader wrote in:
Did not President Garfield set a legal precedent when in 1881 he appointed William Hunt former trainer of CSA troops to the position of head of the United States Navy. Even though the 14th Amendment prohibited this. So to me, the precedent had changed the law from then on. So even if they could prove Trump had been a part of the insurrection, it would not stop him from being able to run for President, because of this former precedent of law. What say you Martin? Enjoy your blog .
Sincerely, MK
This attempt to use the 14th Amendment for a non-violent act that did not wage war to overthrow the government during the Civil War is the first time anyone has tried to use this prohibition. There was no insurrection since not a single person on January 6th was charged under the Insurrection Statute. This is so bogus it is insane. The Supreme Court would have to rule against this abuse of process, and if they did not, like the Dred Scot Decision, it would necessitate civil war. It was passed as a punitive act, and it is highly questionable if it would really be Constitutional as applied.
I think Glen Greenwald properly articulated the problem. The Neocon Victoria Nuland has been in power through EVERY Administration EXCEPT under Trump. Trump was outright against the Neocons. All the nonsense of being arrogant, whatever, the most important factor was he rejected war and that is what they did not like about Trump behind the curtain.
Woodrow Wilson (1856-1924), the 28th U.S. president, served in office from 1913 to 1921 and took us into World War I. It was Franklin D. Roosevelt who took us into World War II. It was Lydon Johnson who took us into Vietnam. It was Obama who tried to get us into Syria. The exception was U.S. President George H.W. Bush, who took us into the First Gulf War and his son into the Second.
At this point, I hope Trump wins. If anything, it will be war in Washington instead of the battlefield, as I doubt the FBI, NSA, or CIA would ever follow anything he says. It will be open treason and the country will become ungovernable. Perhaps this is what we need. Bring down this house of corrupt cards dominating Washington who are always willing to sacrifice our children to line their pockets. If Trump has no immunity, then nobody else, including judges, if they act against the oath of their office to defend the Constitution. Everything is turning upside-down. Even Harvard is losing students who are rejecting their offers because of their antisemitic atmosphere. So much for Harvard Law School.

The ABC panel is jaw agape at the latest Wall Street Journal polling showing that Donald Trump has not only widened his GOP primary lead, but is also polling ahead of Joe Biden with a diverse core of American voters.
Donna Brazile is very concerned, panicked even, that young Latino and black voters are now turning their back on the Democrat machine, and while they are not supporting Republicans, they are fully supporting Donald Trump. She won’t admit it, but this is exactly the reason why the Republican and Democrat apparatus are working together to get rid of Trump.
President Donald Trump represents the first modern political opponent to the UniParty, the illusion of distinction between the RNC and DNC. In essence, the policies and perspectives that Donald Trump represents, form a unique contrast to the almost identical Dem/Rep dynamic. The MAGA coalition is built of Republicans, Independents and Democrats, which is always highlighted by the largest ever support network for Republican Trump amid Latinos and Blacks.
The panel struggles with the reality of Godzilla Trump destroying the professional political class, while simultaneously the panel tries to promote and defend the customary leftist narratives. The pearl-clutching is exceeded only by the number of fainting couches provided by the ABC production crew. WATCH:
