We can see from the map of the elections in Georgia, we are still facing this flight from the cities to the point it is becoming blatant suburbs against the urban cities. This is a picture of what the vote seems to be on a much grander national level. We have a serious economic shift taking place and there are fools in Washington who think they can just plow through the rights of the people just to retain power.
The word from DC is that they will do their best now to prevent Trump from ever running again and they will look to try to bring some criminal charge against him to disqualify him. Twitter has blocked his account and he has acknowledged he will leave the office. Pence, as expected, defended the swamp as did the courts by refusing to ever allow any evidence of fraud to be reviewed. That was in itself a confirmation that there was significant fraud or they would have heard the case and then declare it was frivolous. (see the latest evidence)
The sad part about this is the lack of mirrors in Washington. I have warned that the Republicans may split because they failed to understand this what they see as “Trumpism” existed long before Trump. He was just at the right place at the right time. Pence was a former member of Congress and there was no way anyone on the Hill would stab the Congress in the back. The Republicans think this will now be back to normal and they will also surrender the rights of the people as long as their personal pockets are filled. What we have watched was not the end of Trump, but the end of the Republic and this anti-swamp will now only grow as people begin to see the agenda that they had no idea was being decided in this election.
In a very strange way, these events have shown that Socrates was right. This week was the major event not the inauguration on the 20th. The politicians see this as the defeat of Trump and have ignored the fact that 80 million people voted for Trump and they can claim the fraud claims are baseless while refusing to answer anything. They have displayed to the entire world that there is no Due Process of Law – they pronounced Trump guilty and refused to allow a trial. This was a serious mistake for the question should have been decided and then the civil unrest would have been settled. Refusing to allow any court to review the claims and dismissing everything on procedure has doomed the country to the festering image of corruption which will inevitably lead to revolution. In that respect, they have just confirmed the forecast of Socrates and the West will yield to Asia post 2032.
Now we get back to markets at least until the rest of this political chaos unfolds from Europe. We must review all the markets to see how and where capital will move given these dramatic events in the US election. We will be moving toward digital currency and the rest of the West will now expect that Biden show cancels the currency to prevent people from hoarding dollars which is how they have been circumventing the European regulations. We will have to review the markets for they alone will map out the future for us. Will the capital flows flee to Asia? With the Dow still rise as a place capital will park for safety? Will banks be abandoned by the repudiation of debt which is why the politicians have been in league with Twitter, Google, and Facebook – the new digital banks going forward? (See IMF Blog).
There were people cheering the removal of Trump for they now expect that Biden will kill fossil fuels and renewable will be a new bull market. Of course, they are speaking out of their own positions and are clueless as to how you really end fossil fuels which are so integrated into everything. The taxes they will impose on the use of fossil fuels will help to ensure the further contraction of the economy into 2022. There is even talk that The Democrats will impose a $1,000 tax on every home and apartment for using heat and air condition.
What we are to expect will be revealed by the computer. There is a move to tax worldwide income forming in Europe and in the United States, we will see the drive to add a wealth tax which will be a property tax on everything you own on a global basis. If the politicians really represented the people, even Keynes had said to lower taxes to stimulate the economy and Trump’s cut in taxes produced the lowest unemployment ever post-Great Depression. But the political powers that be are really only interested in control and punishment.
So now it is time for Socrates to laid out the future. This is not a time for personal opinion and “I think” analysis. Einstein said he did not believe that God played dice with the Universe – i.e. nothing is random. It was interesting that Socrates picked this week rather than the inauguration. All we can do is try to apply the fundamentals to its forecast. The only way to approach the future from here is dispassionately and follow the capital flows.
COMMENT: Marty; like you, I am a programmer. I see the future is very much like the Matrix. I do not understand why people in government feel the need to control everything and everyone. This is not the world I want my daughter to grow up in and she is just three years old.
PO
ANSWER: These apps that people are so eager to download for a virus that has a 99.5% survivability rate is astonishing. I agree, this is like the Matrix insofar as we seem to be living in a dream that we are somehow free when we are not. Personally, I am so glad my time is nearly up in this nightmare. They know the majority are just subservient fools. Stanley Milgram proved that the average person will even torture another as long as they are told to do so. He called it — “Obedience to Authority.”
Indeed, the New Norm is intended to bring in the Great Reset whereby offices vanish, commuting comes to an end, and travel will be forever restricted. However, vital to pulling this off is continued social distancing and masks. Why? This is being employed to combat civil unrest. It is also intended to separate the mindless sheep who obey whatever the government, says which complies with Stanley Milgram’s studies on “Obedience to Authority”.
The Germans put on trial after World War II said that they were just following orders. This inspired Milgram to investigate because many argued that the Germans were just different and could kill the Jews without remorse. At the Nuremberg Trials, those Germans simply said they were just following orders.
Stanley was perhaps the most important psychologists of all time as far as I am concerned. Instead of coming up with a theory, Stanley actually investigates and arrived at a conclusion nobody suspected was even possible. He hired actors to pretend to be shocked by a person whenever they lied. Stanley took random people off the street in the United States and elsewhere to see if the Germans were really a different species. He discovered that people would shock others in a torture setting as long as they were told that was what they had to do.
Stanley concluded his studies which shocked the world. They were published in his book – “Obedience to Authority.” I bring this up now BECAUSE this is precisely what is being carried out today. We have people wearing masks when there is no serious pandemic and yelling at others who do not. Some are violently attacking people who do not have a mask.
What is being carried out is a well-defined psychological tactic because they instill fear in the mass herd of human sheep and then they count on the obedience of authority to control society. I have stated before, a friend of mine grew up behind the Berlin Wall. When the wall fell, his father went and got his Stasi file. He was shocked to discover everyone he thought was a friend was telling the government everything he had to say against the government. When he came home, my friend thought his father went mad. He began punching holes in the walls and ripping out microphones. Until his death, he refused to ever speak to anyone outside his immediate family.
This is the reasoning being social distancing and wearing masks. This (1) provides justification to arrest people who try to gather together to resist, and (2) as in France, they can put you in prison for 6 months for not wearing a mask, or (3) in Melbourne, Australia there have been incidents of people attacking even women on the street who do not have a mask on. This is raw tyranny and how they are deliberately seeking to breakdown society to make the population controllable as was the case under communism.
Field Marshall Hermann Wilhelm Göring (1893–1946)
“Why, of course, the people don’t want war. Why would some poor slob on a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best that he can get out of it is to come back to his farm in one piece. Naturally, the common people don’t want war; neither in Russia nor in England nor in America, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood.
But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy or a fascist dictatorship or a Parliament or a Communist dictatorship.
Interrogator: With respect to a Democracy they argued, the people have some say in the matter through their elected representatives, and in the United States, only Congress can declare wars.
Göring replied: “Oh, that is all well and good, but, voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country.”
We are losing everything. New York State has proposed Assembly Bill A416, which allows the governor to lock you up. They may also lock-up any person in your family with whom you have had any contact on the mere SUSPICION that you have been infected with any disease the governor, in his sole capacity, determines may pose a threat to society. At this point, if you are a Republican, you are already a threat to the new world order they are planning.
Meanwhile, the IMF has bluntly come out and explained that banks with branches are no longer necessary and this is why BigTech has been blocking Republicans because they have been promised worldwide banking rights. On top of that, your credit standing will no longer be based solely upon your income and how fast you pay your bills. They are now saying that they will also incorporate what type of person you are by looking at whatever you have posted on social media. If you are a subservient sheep, no problem. If you have an independent mind, you are not worthy of credit. The IMF states:
“New types of information
The most transformative information innovation is the increase in use of new types of data coming from the digital footprint of customers’ various online activities—mainly for credit-worthiness analysis.
Credit scoring using so-called hard information (income, employment time, assets and debts) is nothing new. Typically, the more data is available, the more accurate is the assessment. But this method has two problems. First, hard information tends to be “procyclical”: it boosts credit expansion in good times but exacerbates contraction during downturns.
The second and most complex problem is that certain kinds of people, like new entrepreneurs, innovators and many informal workers might not have enough hard data available. Even a well-paid expatriate moving to the United States can be caught in the conundrum of not getting a credit card for lack of credit record, and not having a credit record for lack of credit cards.
Fintech resolves the dilemma by tapping various nonfinancial data: the type of browser and hardware used to access the internet, the history of online searches and purchases. Recent research documents that, once powered by artificial intelligence and machine learning, these alternative data sources are often superior than traditional credit assessment methods, and can advance financial inclusion, by, for example, enabling more credit to informal workers and households and firms in rural areas.
New communication channels
Communication innovation is driven by the variety of digital platforms in social media, mobile communication, and online shopping that have penetrated much of consumers’ everyday lives, thus increasing their digital footprint and the available data. Platforms like Amazon, Facebook or Alibaba incorporate more and more financial services into their ecosystems, enabling the rise of new specialized providers that compete with banks in payments, asset management, and financial information provision.
Technology again boosts an existing trend. The shift from in-person bank branch visits to remote, online communication generally improves customer convenience and makes financial intermediation more cost-efficient. It also boosts geographic competition among banks, which can now service more distant customers.
The effects of digital transformation are powerful for the financial sector, already the industry most heavily reliant on computers. That is compounded by the doubling in use of online banking having in the past two decades in the European Union’s 15 largest economies. And with usage at 50 percent on average, it still has significant room to grow.”
I STRONGLY advise if you can, get the hell out of New York while you can. I have written before I opened an account at Bank of America because it was the closest bank to me. That branch never reopened. The people who voted for Biden have surrendered ALL their rights, privileges, and immunities for themselves, their families, and their posterity. I have been warning that our model did not merely project that Trump would win in 2016 and the 2020 election would be the most corrupt election in history, but we would enter a new period of authoritarianism from 2020 into 2032.
I know a lot of people who voted for Biden read this bog. I have tried to make it clear that this was NEVER a match between Trump and Biden. This has been between Trump and a Global Cabal. I get to check out of this world soon. What I fear is what I leave behind for my family. This election was STOLEN and I do not say that as a Republican. This was a strategic play they needed to pull off because they have already conquered Europe and Canada. They needed the USA for military power.
I have also explained many times that I use to vet people who wanted to run for president up until 1999. I was asked to fly to Texas to meet with George Bush Jr but I was told this was “different” because he was “stupid!” Indeed, you never see him running around giving lectures like Obama. When I asked why they would make someone “stupid” president, I was told he had the name. Biden is the same thing. I seriously doubt he is even aware of their plans and they got the perfect guy for the job.
They are deliberately trying to end small businesses because they are independent thinkers and employ 70% of the civil workforce. They need the people to be on Guarantee Basic Income to control the population because the socialist system is collapsing. They can no long prop-up the system so they need a new one. The new founding father will be Bill Gates funding this new age of authoritarianism. He was the funder of Imperial College which began with the recommendation to lock down the world economy by Neil Ferguson. He has usurped every median organization from the WHO to FDC, CDC, and Fauci. Locking down the world economy was supposed to reduce CO2.
Despite the destruction of the world economy, CO2 did not decline. What is the next solution? Kill our pets, animals, and everyone who does not fit Gate’s eugenic goals?
How much longer will it take for the sheep to wake up? The noose is already around their neck. They seem too stupid to open their eyes.
QUESTION: Concerning 911, you said the people in Guantanamo Bay are innocent so they never bring them to trial. Was that the break which set in motion the decline of our civilization?
KJ
ANSWER: That is certainly possible. Ahmed Khalfan Ghailani was the terrorist they put on trial in New York and was supposed to be their best case. On November 17, 2010, a US jury in New York found him guilty of one count of conspiracy but acquitted him of 284 other charges including all murder counts. Basically, the jury found he may have “agreed” with the bombing of the US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania, but that he did NOT participate himself. Nevertheless, he was sentenced to life imprisonment by Judge Lewis Kaplan for the one count when he was acquitted of any murders. Under US law, the judge has “discretion” to sentence you to whatever he desires, for he is not nullifying the jury’s decision, but “increas[ing] his sentence because of the manner in which he committed the crime of conviction.”
They put him on trial in NYC, assuming the people would give him the death penalty. When they acquitted him of 284 charges, they could no longer put people on trial, for he was their BEST case. The others have languished in prison with no trial because they are not guilty. If they had the evidence of anything, they would have put them on trial for the publicity. When the government lost 284 counts, they would not dare put anyone else on trial and face a jury who might acquit them.
This was indeed part of the decline and fall. But it was not the first. Ethel Greenglass Rosenberg (1915-1953) and Julius Rosenberg (1918–1953) were United States citizens convicted of conspiracy to commit espionage during a time of war and were executed. It is well known that Ethel was charged only to try to put pressure on her husband. You would think if he really had the information they claimed he did, he would have turned it over to save his wife. The jury found Ethel guilty and both were executed. It has been long established that she was innocent.
This is the very problem with the ABSOLUTE IMMUNITY the Supreme Court created, not just for police, but for prosecutors who can knowingly send you to your death and they are NEVER held responsible.
What the Supreme Court has done in the 2020 election is torn up the Constitution claiming they have “discretion” to defend the Constitution whenever they decide it is convenient. You cannot take an oath to defend the Constitution, and then in the next breath claim you have the discretion to hear cases.
There can be NO CIVILIZATION without the rule of law. This is not a matter of if the evidence supported Trump or not. The refusal to decide that case leaves a cloud of doubt. Both sides will now be entrenched and opposed to each other, and the only resolution, like the Civil War after the Dred Scott decision that blacks had no rights, will be violence.
A civilization is a complex human society. It embodied a rule of law that allows people to come together. It is not a specific cultural type, for there have been many variations from Inca, Maya, Babylonians, Romans, Greeks, etc. There is also different technological development, which has embodied everything from sailing ships, roads, and the development of agriculture to metal refining. First, civilizations are generally distinguished from nomadic tribes by the fact that they have created urban settlements with the development of laws and typically religion.
All civilizations go through a cycle whereby it is beneficial to come together. Then they peak when corruption begins to take hold, and they collapse as people leave when the bonds no longer make sense. This is why Marxism is so dangerous. It pits one group against another (class warfare), and in the process, it is no longer advantageous to remain in the group. If the opposing group tries to prevent them from leaving, tyranny reigns and that leads to the final collapse.
Edward Gibbon wrote in his “Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire” about Commodus. He wrote of him:
“distinction of every kind soon became criminal. The possession of wealth stimulated the diligence of the informers; rigid virtue implied a tacit censure of the irregularities of Commodus; important services implied a dangerous superiority of merit; and the friendship of the father always insured the aversion of the son. Suspicion was equivalent to proof; trial to condemnation. The execution of a considerable senator was attended with the death of all who might lament or revenge his fate; and when Commodus had once tasted human blood, he became incapable of pity or remorse”
(Book 1, Chapter 4).
We are at that stage where corruption dominates everything and everything is being made criminal. People are being fined thousands of dollars for not wearing a mask to being thrown in jail for two to three months. Indeed, “distinction of every kind soon became criminal.” In Spain, you cannot freely travel without permission from the state, as was the case in East Germany. Anyone refusing a vaccine is imprisoned in their home, and their names are being collected. This is not unlike Stalin.
Make no mistake about this, we have the merger of three theories as part of this Great Reset which has merged the old ideas of a one-world government with Schwab’s idea of resurrecting Communism for only the lower classes. Gates wants to reduce CO2 and the population, Soros wants a one-world government headed by the United Nations, and Klaus Schwab wants Communism 3.0. Nevertheless, their grand scheme against the people will peak out by 2022.
As I have mentioned, the former president of France stated bluntly that the design of the EU was not really economic, but rather it was this same theory that to eliminate war you have a one-world government, or in this case, one European government. This has been the pitch coming from Soros and why he was funding the anti-BREXIT camp, so he could fold Britain sovereignty into Brussels. Soros has been using his son to fund the Democrats against Trump to further his open society agenda.
On August 11th, 2020. George Soros did an interview in La Republica where he actually said we needed a revolution against Trump.
“I would describe it as a revolutionary moment when the range of possibilities is much greater than in normal times.”
Soros has been calling for using the Coronavirus as a revolutionary moment. Soros sees Trump as a populist “transitory phenomenon.”
The Polish government wants to stop the distribution of Norwegian money flowing into Poland coming from Soros’ funded Batory Foundation, which manages over 800 million euros with a target of overthrowing the Polish government by 2020. Since 2014, the Batory Foundation has distributed some 130 million zlotys (around 31.7 million euros) to various associations and organizations within Poland to change the government.
Soros has been intent upon overthrowing Trump in order to further his agenda of an open-society to have the United Nations take control of the United States covertly when it would be unconstitutional for such a transfer of power.
Nevertheless, this is part of their Agenda 2030 and to end “populism” which is the foundation of democracy. Like both China and the EU, the people have no right to vote for the head of the government.
This is a presentation in German which is about one hour. Its proposition is that the leaders of the G20, the Rockefeller and Gates foundations have been conspiring to take over the political system for about 30 years or more. It states that the Government conspiracy went into high gear in 2017. This was sent in by a reader EAB. While my German is not so great, what I do agree with is that the idea of eliminating Democracy has been around for a long time. This is all coming to a head.
This idea of this one-world government will eliminate war has been outright even mentioned in the EU Parliament as the real goal. My view is that preexisting belief was simply exploited by Gates and Soros who used their money to buy friends and influence. Thomas Malthus’ book which started the entire overpopulation panic and inspired eventually eugenics was published in 1798. Based on our 224-year Cycle of Political Change, this idea should reach its height in 2022.
I see Gates and Soros as newcomers who have the money to buy into the club and will make the peak in 2022.
While this is 7 months old, the trend is set in motion. The agenda is to reduce our consumption of meat because they believe that cows are the #2 cause of CO2. The EU regulations have led to the wholesale slaughter of even sheep. The EU was moving to reduce cattle because they are creating global warming by passing gas. These people are truly authoritarian.
To this day, many things are not available because of the response to COVID. These people are either the dumbest in history for they cannot see what they are doing, or they are diabolical and know exactly what they are doing – reducing the world population of humans and animals.
In London, we had the Extinction Rebellion becoming very violent. Now we have people blowing up gas lines on a coordinated basis and deliberately trying to create havoc leaving people without heat. This will indeed be part of the rise in Civil Unrest and we should expect this to become much more common. Bill Gates is fully behind the lockdowns and wants society to be locked down for years. This has been to reduce people-driven and that he thought would reduce CO2. He clearly has more money than brains and is obviously not very smart. He is funding putting particles in the air to reduce sunlight to stop global warming. His entire beliefs are linear and void of any historical analysis. This guy can really hurt the planet and end up killing far more people than all the madmen of the past – COMBINED!
Many people are praying that Vice President Mike Pence will reject the count from the disputed states for it is his plenary duty to accept or reject those votes. The 1800 and 1824 elections were contingent elections in Congress after no candidate won a majority of electoral college votes, and a special 15-person commission decided the disputed 1876 election. (In 1837, the Senate also decided a vice presidential race in a contingent election.). Most recently, it was the Supreme Court ruling in Bush v Gore in 2000 that settled a controversy over an automatic recount in Florida that gave George Bush a majority of votes heading into the Electoral College proceedings that December. We have clearly a dispute forming in the Congress on 7 states. Pennsylvania is urging McConnel to object. Sidney Powell is urging every Republican to object which will not happen. Meanwhile, Georgia swears the conspiracy claims are unfounded. Nevertheless, reliable sources say there was a meeting at the White House to discuss what to do on January 6th between Trump, Pence, and conservative Republicans from the hill.
There is talk that there is a conflict between the 12th Amendment and the 1887 Statute on counting electoral votes. Neither of these sources takes into account the scenario of disputed electors at a state level. Moreover, there were disagreements about even how the dispute would be settled within Congress. During the 1876 election, the threat of violence existed as it does today. Congress passed the Electoral Commission Act in January 1877 to establish a special commission of 15 people to decide the election, with five members of the Senate, the House, and the Supreme Court on the panel.Back then, the commission awarded all 20 disputed electoral votes to Hayes who thereby won the general election by one electoral vote just one day before he took his oath of office. In 1887, Congress then passed the Electoral Count Act to deal with a future scenario of a rival or contested electoral votes presented at the joint session of Congress required under the 12th Amendment to certify election results.
The previously obscure Electoral Count Act of 1887 could be a factor under certain conditions in the 2020 election. The contested sets of electors sent to Congress in 7 states is the issue. There is little question that there are inadequacies within the Electoral Count Act in the event that a disputed presidential election reaches the joint session of Congress as required by the 12th Amendment for the receiving and counting of Electoral College votes from the states. The statute is vague and this ambiguity only makes the issue worse.
The Constitution instructs that the state legal system has the power granted by Article 2, Section 1 to decide its electors. This is really a problem because each state then has different rules. Two states allocate votes per candidate while the other created a winner take all. This really is unacceptable under the Equal Protection Clause for it is a violation of an individual’s civil rights if the election is a fraud. For example, California could create a law that allows the governor to pick the electors and certify the loser. Lacking any consistent rules nationally for a federal election only creates ambiguity and certainly not a uniform election.
In a 2016 analysis of presidential election disputes, the Congressional Research Service said that “under the United States Constitution, these elections for presidential electors are administered and regulated in the first instance by the states, and state laws have established the procedures for ballot security, tallying the votes, challenging the vote count, recounts, and election contests within their respective jurisdictions.”
Then if we look at the safe harbor provision under federal law (3 U.S. Code § 5), a state must determine its electors six days before the Electoral College members meet in person. In 2020, that deadline was December 8. Back in 2000, a deeply divided Supreme Court, in a 5-4 vote, wouldn’t allow an extension of the safe harbor deadline proposed by Justice Stephen Breyer in the specific case of Florida’s recount. It is debatable if under the hostile Chief Justice Roberts, that he would allow any review of a challenge from Trump after his questionable treatment of the Texas case.
Federal statutes also require that the states must deliver certified electoral college results to the vice president, serving as President of the Senate (Pence), and other parties by the fourth Wednesday in December which was December 23. The first issue of Newsweek in February 17, 1933, showed a photo of the Electoral College vote count in Congress. If the certificates and documents are not received, the Vice President requests the results shall be sent to Congress by registered mail or messenger. The joint session of Congress required by the 12th Amendment to count the electoral votes and declare the winners of the presidential election is held on January 6, 2021. That is when the Electoral Count Act becomes a factor. When the results from each state are announced, a member of the House and Senate can jointly object. The House and Senate then adjourn for 2 hours to consider the objection. If both bodies agree to uphold the objection, the votes are excluded from the election results under the terms of the Electoral Count Act.
If there is a second slate of electors named by its legislature or a state’s governor refuses to sign the state’s election certificate in a dispute over ballot counting, then procedures for handling a disputed presidential election that reaches Congress seriously deficient. The Electoral Count Act of 1887 ambiguous which leads to conflicting interpretations within Congress which will no doubt be partisan. Clearly, there are parts of the Electoral Count Act of 1887 that are unconstitutional and there could a role for the Supreme Court to settle these disputes before January 20, 2021. The Constitution’s 20th Amendment requires the new President to take the oath of office. If that cannot be accomplished, then the Speak of the House becomes President until it is resolved.
There is even precedent for counting a completely bogus certificate from a state. In 1889, at the first electoral count after the Electoral Count Act’s enactment, the Senate President presented the second set of returns from Oregon that, apparently was a practical joke. It had been sent in by Samuel MacDowell, claiming to be Oregon’s “Governor de jure.” The Senate President then asked for unanimous consent to count the Oregon return that had a certificate from the person recognized as Oregon’s governor. Congress knew Oregon’s governor in 1889 was Sylvester Pennoyer.
In 1797, Vice President John Adams presented Vermont’s electoral votes even though they were highly suspect much like today. Vermont’s four electoral votes were necessary for Adams to have been elected President. Their defect was that the Vermont legislature had appointed the electors without previously enacting a law authorizing themselves to do it. Since the Vermont return was formally correct, the issue was not whether the votes should have been presented, but whether they should have been counted. They were, nonetheless, critical to Adams who accepted them thereby giving himself the Presidency.
Many are looking to the 1800 election when the electoral ballots were opened and counted on February 11, 1801. There too the certificate of election from Georgia was defective. While it was clear that the electors had cast their votes for Jefferson and Burr, the certificate did not comply with the constitutional mandate to “List of all the Persons voted for, and of the Number of Votes for each“.
At the time, the Vice President was Thomas Jefferson who was also a candidate for President and had the duty to count the votes for president. That was certainly a conflict of interest. Jefferson, as President of the Senate, counted the votes from Georgia as votes for Jefferson and Burr even though they did not comply with the requirements. There were no objections raised. If Jefferson did not count the votes, he would have lost to Adams. This led to a feud between Jefferson and Adams. On July 4, 1826, at the age of 90, John Adams lay on his deathbed while the country celebrated Independence Day. His last words were, “Thomas Jefferson still survives.” Little did he know, that Thomas Jefferson had died five hours earlier at Monticello at the age of 83.
While Alexander Hamilton was a member of the Federalist Party, and there were problems for the electoral college cast two separate votes for the President and Vice President which was finally under the new rules of the electoral system in the 1804 ratification of the 12th Amendment. Burr and Jefferson tied in the electoral votes and after 35 ballots in Congress, neither could win. Most Federalist Congressmen backed Burr and all Democratic-Republican Congressmen backed Jefferson. It was Alexander Hamilton who favored Jefferson over Burr who managed to swing some Federalists to switch their support to Jefferson making him president on the 36th ballot.
Aaron Burr (1756-1836) received the same number of electoral votes as Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826) and challenged Jefferson’s election to the office. In the end, Jefferson was chosen as the president because of Alexander Hamilton’s influence in the House of Representatives. Aaron Burr was just not well-liked. Burr and Jefferson met in 1791 when Burr became a member of the United States Senate. However, a decade later, Jefferson bluntly wrote that “there never had been an intimacy” between himself and Burr, “and but little association.” Nevertheless, history had permanently entwined their names.
The Bank of New York is often cited as being founded by Hamilton in June 1784. However, there was a group involved which included Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr. They were competing with the Bank of North America in Philadelphia which was paying 14% dividends and had been founded by Robert Morris, Jr. (1734–1806) who financed the Revolution as did Haym Salomon (1740–1785) who was a Jewish businessman in New York and a political financial broker. It was Salomon who helped convert the French loans into ready cash by selling the bills of exchange for Morris.
The Bank of New York never had a charter for the first seven years and its capitalization was $750,000, of which only one-third would be in coin and the balance in preexisting mortgages. After the Real Estate Panic of 1792, the final capitalization was reduced to $500,000 in gold or silver coins exclusively. A conflict of interest took place when Hamilton became the Secretary of the Treasury. The bank then provided the first loan to the new United States government in 1789. On top of that, the bank began to pay all the salaries of federal employees, including President George Washington himself, until the Bank of the United States was charted in 1791.
The Bank of New York shares were the first company to be traded on the New York Stock Exchange when it first opened in 1792. However, foreign investors were speculating on the new bank shares, viewing this as an emerging market opportunity. They brought in coin to the United States but with the Panic of 1792, they were quick to sell and created a shortage of cash as the result of capital outflow.
Hamilton was a Federalist. Burr was a Republican. The men clashed repeatedly in the political arena. However, the first major skirmish was in 1791, when Burr successfully captured a United States Senate seat from Philip Schuyler, Hamilton’s powerful father-in-law. Hamilton was then the Secretary of the Treasury would count on the support of his father-in-law. When Burr won the election, Hamilton’s political power was trimmed to some extent.
The Bank of New York had a monopoly on banking services in the city until the Bank of the Manhattan Company was founded by Aaron Burr in 1799, which was vigorously opposed by Hamilton fearing competition. In 1800 Burr published a private paper written by Hamilton for political influence entitled: “The Public Conduct and Character of John Adams, Esq., President of the United States.,” which was a document highly critical of Adams. Hamilton never intended that to be generally circulated. Its publication proved highly embarrassing to Hamilton and helped widen rifts in the Federalist Party. That very same year, when Aaron Burr and Thomas Jefferson tied in balloting for the presidency, Hamilton lobbied Congress to decide the election in Jefferson’s favor in a pay-back.
It was the New York governor’s race of 1804 that brought their feud to a boil. Burr ran as an independent and was looking to become powerful in New York. That very prospect horrified Hamilton, who despised and mistrusted Burr completely. In early 1804, Hamilton lobbied the New York Federalists not to support Burr and he failed and lost to Morgan Lewis, the Republican candidate. This was the final straw to the deep rivalry between Burr and Hamilton which resulted in their famous 1804 duel on July 11, 1804. Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr met on the dueling grounds at Weehawken, New Jersey, to fight the final skirmish of a long-lived political and personal battle. When the duel was over, Hamilton would be mortally wounded, and Burr was considered a murderer since dueling was illegal.
The dislike of Burr was now overwhelming. Burr turned to the idea of starting a colony in the newly acquired Louisiana Territory, personally invading Mexico, which was still a Spanish colony. It depended on who you asked. There were rival interpretations of his intentions whereby he either was seeking to expand the United States or found a whole new nation of his own. He even proposed to the British ambassador the possibility of bringing the British fleet and British money to assist in separating the Louisiana Territory from the Union. In 1805 he made a journey south to New Orleans to test the idea. Rumors became commonplace about Burr’s intentions. President Jefferson was informed by General Wilkinson, that there was “a deep, dark, wicked and widespread conspiracy” afoot. Wilkinson turned out to be in the pay of the Spanish government, but then so, confusingly enough, so was Burr.
Late in 1806 Burr led a force of sixty followers in boats down the Mississippi, apparently heading for New Orleans. When Burr reached what is now Alabama, he was arrested and sent under guard to Richmond, Virginia. There he came up in the United States Circuit Court before Chief Justice John Marshall, who disliked President Jefferson. When Adams lost the election, he tried to stuff the courts with Federalist judges. In March 1801, just two days before his term as president ended, Adams appointed several dozen Federalist Party supporters to a new circuit judge and justice of the peace positions in an attempt to obstruct Jefferson and the Democratic-Republican Party which was an anti-centralized government championed by the Federalist. The U.S. Senate quickly confirmed Adams’s appointments, but by the time of Jefferson’s inauguration, a few of the new judges’ commissions still had not been delivered. But one which had been was Chief Justice Marshall.
Jefferson took the position that the commissions were void because they had not been delivered in time. Jefferson instructed his new Secretary of State, James Madison, not to deliver them, and one filed suit. William Marbury was a supporter of Adams and a devote Federalist. In late 1801, after Madison refused to deliver his commission, Marbury filed a lawsuit in the Supreme Court asking the Court to issue a writ of mandamus forcing Madison to deliver his commission. Marshall ruled in a partisan manner holding that Madison’s refusal to deliver Marbury’s commission was illegal. He then held that the court had the power to order the government official in question to deliver the commission. However, Marshall held that Congress had expanded the definition of the Supreme Court’s jurisdiction beyond what was originally set down in the U.S. Constitution. Marshall then struck down that section of the law declaring that American courts had the power to invalidate laws that they find to violate the Constitution. Because this meant the Court had no jurisdiction over the case, it could not issue the writ that Marbury had requested. What this reveals is that from the very beginning there was a hostile environment between two parties as we see today.
Hence, it was Marshall who sat on the trial of Burr. The proceedings took months with the charge of a high misdemeanor for planning to attack the dominions of the King of Spain and of treason for trying to seize New Orleans converting American territory into an empire of his own. Burr faced the penalty would be death if found guilty. Burr was a very articulate and clever lawyer who outclassed the prosecutors. Burr’s team spent three days arguing that to be guilty of treason for “levying war” under the Constitution, the accused must have committed an overt act in war. Chief Justice Marshall upheld this argument and in the end, despite the bias of the jury, Burr had to be acquitted.
Burr was generally believed to be guilty all the same and in Baltimore, a mob hanged him in effigy. Aaron Burr fled to Europe, where he tried to interest the British and French governments in creating a new nation in the American Southwest. He returned to the United States in 1812 and spent the rest of a long life in law practice in New York, a disappointed man. He was eighty when he died at Port Richmond on Staten Island in 1836.
2020/2021 CONSPIRACY
One thing that seems to be going around is that Trump has court cases still pending that will go to the Supreme Court and they claim that thanks to Texas, he now knows how to file it under Article 3 and not under Article 2. That is just completely off the wall. Texas had clear standing and that was a direct right to sue in the Supreme Court against another state. They add that Barr has stepped down on the 23rd, so he is now able to be a witness. Barr is part of the Deep State and would never help Trump. Trump is not interested in unconstitutional solutions of sending in the military or anything else. All he can do is count on Pence and the question becomes does Pence also turn around like Barr and stab Trump in the back? He was a Congressman so he knows the game on the Hill.

But no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States.
Congress shall be in session on the sixth day of January succeeding every meeting of the electors. The Senate and House of Representatives shall meet in the Hall of the House of Representatives at the hour of 1 o’clock in the afternoon on that day, and the President of the Senate shall be their presiding officer. Two tellers shall be previously appointed on the part of the Senate and two on the part of the House of Representatives, to whom shall be handed, as they are opened by the President of the Senate, all the certificates and papers purporting to be certificates of the electoral votes, which certificates and papers shall be opened, presented, and acted upon in the alphabetical order of the States, beginning with the letter A; and said tellers, having then read the same in the presence and hearing of the two Houses, shall make a list of the votes as they shall appear from the said certificates; and the votes having been ascertained and counted according to the rules in this subchapter provided, the result of the same shall be delivered to the President of the Senate, who shall thereupon announce the state of the vote, which announcement shall be deemed a sufficient declaration of the persons, if any, elected President and Vice President of the United States, and, together with a list of the votes, be entered on the Journals of the two Houses. Upon such reading of any such certificate or paper, the President of the Senate shall call for objections, if any. Every objection shall be made in writing, and shall state clearly and concisely, and without argument, the ground thereof, and shall be signed by at least one Senator and one Member of the House of Representatives before the same shall be received. When all objections so made to any vote or paper from a State shall have been received and read, the Senate shall thereupon withdraw, and such objections shall be submitted to the Senate for its decision; and the Speaker of the House of Representatives shall, in like manner, submit such objections to the House of Representatives for its decision; and no electoral vote or votes from any State which shall have been regularly given by electors whose appointment has been lawfully certified to according to section 6 of this title from which but one return has been received shall be rejected, but the two Houses concurrently may reject the vote or votes when they agree that such vote or votes have not been so regularly given by electors whose appointment has been so certified.

But if the two Houses shall disagree in respect of the counting of such votes, then, and in that case, the votes of the electors whose appointment shall have been certified by the executive of the State, under the seal thereof, shall be counted. When the two Houses have voted, they shall immediately again meet, and the presiding officer shall then announce the decision of the questions submitted. No votes or papers from any other State shall be acted upon until the objections previously made to the votes or papers from any State shall have been finally disposed of.
