QUESTION: Dear Mr. Armstrong –I just fled California for Idaho, since it is one of the most conservative and fiscally sound states. In your blog, you just stated that if the USA splits, it will again be split into north and south. However, since you are pointing out the burgeoning strength and success of Florida and Texas, I am wondering whether the conservative side will be the south this time instead of the north. Did I move the wrong way?
SC
ANSWER: No. Usually, a split takes place along the same historical lines as in the past. So you see north v south in the USA, Britain, Germany, and Italy just to mention a few. In the USA, the West existed but remained out of the Civil War. So the split maybe California, Oregon, and Washington align with the East and the middle of the country aligns with the deep South.
There is no question that the Democrats feel like they have to change everything. Stacking the Supreme Court was attempted by Roosevelt in 1937 and he lost. I have shown that it really does not matter who appoints the justices. Chief Justice Roberts was appointed by Republicans and he upheld Obamacare. The examples are endless. They refused to take the Texas case and committed the country to absolute sheer chaos and did not uphold Trump simply because he was a Republican. I can find no evidence that any justice will always rule based upon who appointed them.
That said, Eric Holder has brought up three main issues for judicial reform. First, he brings up the issue of age and term limits. He says there should be a limit of three 6 year terms. That should also apply to politicians. Look at who is running the country. Pelosi, Feinstein, Schumer, Bernie Sanders, and even Senator Patrick Leahy, are all 80 or older. It’s no fun standing before a judge who forgets who you are. In the end, the court of appeals finally took my case away from him fearing he would never release me no matter what. After reassigning the case saying perhaps a “fresh pair of eyes” would help and the other case he had was Frank Quatrone whose case they also took away from him, there is never any possible review of their mental state. Judges were there for life because King Edward I dismissed judges for ruling against him. That risk no longer exists. He says justices should not make the decision when to retire. Justice Ginsberg was trying to hold out for a Democratic president.
Holder wants to dramatically expand the lower courts and he wants to impose a minimum age of 50 to become a federal judge. But he implies that the last time the Supreme Court was expanded to nine was because there were nine circuits. He throws in there that today there are 13 circuits and thus the Democrats should be able to install 4 justices.
There will be judicial tinkering, but the real constitutional crisis remains the Judiciary Act of 1925 which granted the discretion of the justices to hear cases. That is unconstitutional for they swear an oath to defend the constitution but then claim a discretion to do so. You cannot have it both ways. I am NOT bothered by the Democrats appointing four justices to the Supreme Court. I have NEVER seen any evidence that they will vote party lines all the time.
Their whole focus is worried about abortion being outlawed. That is precedent and just because Trump appointed anyone does not mean they would overturn Roe v Wade because it was tied to the right to privacy. Overturn that and they can then do anything to you even under the pretense of COVID.
I just want to say thank you for all the emails I have been getting. These are difficult times, indeed. Nevertheless, the upside is that these tumultuous times are the precursor to reform we all long for. We are all in this together and I am fighting for my grandchildren. I will be gone so I am not doing this for personal gain. At times it is tempting to just shut up and walk the beach until it is time to beam me out of this crazy world. But what I leave behind is all that matters I suppose. We are all dealt a set of cards. When I look back on my life I just followed my nose without ever seeing a path to achieve. Everything I have done in life has led me to where I am today basically by fate or chance. All the people I have met and those who have called upon me have been for the model, not me personally. It has always been what does Socrates say – not my personal opinion.
But as we see there is push-back showing from around the world. New York City has been destroyed. The arts will not come back for the entire culture was more than just local. Many times I attended a Broadway play in New York and at least half the audience were tourists mostly from overseas. With international travel decimated and the fear, the press has created in the hearts of so many that people no longer shake hands.
While Schwab and Gates have been pushing the lockdown strategy which is really to reduce CO2, they are destroying so many jobs and businesses. They have brainwashed many who argue just tax the rich but they fail to understand the “rich” are small businesses and they are not so rich. They envision the people with their $50 million homes and their billion-dollar companies, but the top income tax bracket even includes AOC and all politicians. It is hard to get through all the FAKE NEWS, but there are significant amounts of people around the globe who are waking up and hearing the call from the wilderness.
Some ask: Why do I quote history so much? History repeats because human nature never changes. It remains the same throughout history. The Impeachment of Donald Trump is just vengeance and the Chief Justice has refused to preside because the Constitution calls for the removal from office. Under the theory of the Democrats, we can go back in time and impeach Clinton or Obama. Yet even this vengeance is not unique. However, it is a warning that we do face a complete breakdown of the political stability of the nation and the world.
The most dramatic political struggle offered by history comes from the trial of Pope Formosus (891-896) that took place nine months AFTER his death by the succeeding Pope Stephen VI (or VII)(896-897). Stephen was a family member of Italian aristocrats who Formosus abandoned and crowned Arnulf, the East Frankish king, Holy Roman Emperor. Once Stephen seized the Papacy, he sought to destroy Formosus’ supporters and had the corpse of Formosus redressed in papal vestments and propped up and put on trial. Obviously, he did not defend himself very well. Because of this affair, Stephen was seen as a hateful man whose actions were extreme and thus he quickly fell out of favor was imprisoned himself, and later strangled to death.
If Trump were dead, the hatred pouring out in Washington would probably do the very same thing – dig up his dead body and put him on trial in the Senate. What’s next? We dig up Thomas Jefferson instead of toppling his statues and put him on trial for fathering children with his black slave? During the French Revolution, they dug up all the bodies of the former kings and chopped them up, and threw them in a common grave at Saint-Denis in Paris. This stone marks all the former kings thrown into a common grave.
We are witnessing a phenomenal shift in real estate where everyone is bailing out of urban cities throughout the country. Even property in the Hamptons has been exploding with people fleeing NYC. While many hedge fund managers are moving to Florida and thousands of companies are fleeing California to Austin or Dallas, Texas, many others are just moving to the suburbs. Others have been moving to Texas and Florida just so their kids can play sports. Indeed, many city dwellers from New York have moved to Dallas. As one reader explained:
I loved your blog today on fake news and read your emails usually 1st thing every day. The top picture looks like the NC seal. Who is that in the picture?
I live in Charlotte and it’s growing like crazy. My next door neighbor moved down from the DC area and 3 houses down the people moved from CA. The previous owner of the house sold to CA people moved to TX because NC high school football was shut down. He had 2 sons playing football and he is a former NFL QB, whose last job was a backup with the Eagles.
The private schools here are having a surge of new students because so many are moving here and the public schools have remote learning.
I personally want to move towards the SC/NC coast and get out of Charlotte as its so liberal. We’re not rich but our house has appreciated to crazy levels and I see property taxes going crazy.
TP
Talking to friends in Orlando, they have witnessed the same trend. People moved to Orlando just so their kids could play sports.
Meanwhile, more than $1 billion is owed in back rent thanks to the lockdown in New York City. Governor Cuomo is looking at the state’s loss in revenue and hinted that New York can help to dig out by legalizing gambling and marijuana sales. Governor Cuomo seems to be living in a fantasy world. He has actually said NYC will reopen soon and everything will come back. He also said, “You’re going to see the arts coming back.”
I personally enjoy the theatre. I had season tickets with designated seats for the season. That was a complete waste, and when they asked if I would renew, I declined. The Broadway plays travel around the country. That came to a complete halt. So it is not just the theatre in New York, as they shut it down nationally. Sorry, I would no longer buy a ticket until they are open and the political nonsense is over. But that does not seem likely until we pass 2022.
QUESTION: If there is anyone who has fought the club it is you. Keeping you on civil contempt for 7 years when the statutory maximum is 18 months and they released you only because the Supreme Court was taking your case as an example of the corruption in New York. HSBC pleads guilty criminally and has to return all the money and you had no restitution but the banks didn’t go to jail. That is nothing that was supposed to be American Justice. So what is your opinion since you have also warned to stay out of the New York courts when this class action lawsuit was just filed?
Thank you for surviving their corruption.

ANSWER: Shutting down the market in GME is outrageous. But this is by no means unique. Back in 1980, the COMEX did not shut down the silver market to force the Hunt brothers out of silver, but they made it much more expensive to be long v short. They aided the investment bankers as always. Even the Chicago Board of Trade raised the margin to trade silver by 10x the very day of the high – January 18th, 1980. History repeats because the corruption never changes.
While many pundits are calling this the “squeeze of a lifetime” and a war of retail against the hedge funds, in reality, it was a PERFECT cyclical move after 13 years down. Of course, they are claiming that a band of retail are waging war against the Hedge Funds and the press is claiming “one big question amid the frenzy has been how much the little guys really matter.”
Even AOC has chimed in saying “Gotta admit it’s really something to see Wall Streeters with a long history of treating our economy as a casino complain about a message board of posters also treating the market as a casino.” She then added: “Anyways, Tax the Rich.”
While this is being portrayed as some fluke and others are calling for an investigation that this is just manipulation and a pump and dump, interestingly Socrates picked the low in April 2020 and then entered at first a Breakout Mode in August where the model was calling for a high in many different stocks, and then in September, it entered a Phase Transition mode which is a doubling in price when it closed at 1020. It has now been 8.6 months from the April 2020 low.
When we look at the Timing Array, January was a Target with high volatility coming in February and the next turning point will be in March followed by June. Most interesting is that here too we see a Panic Cycle shaping up for August 2021.
When we look at the monthly chart, the breakout began in January when it punched through the Downtrend Line. It then rallied to the Breakout Line at $200 and moving through that you had the classic Phase Transition.
Monday opened below our Projected Opening Resistance at 99.17 coming in at 96.73. It fell back to fill that gap and closed below the opening print. What I find really ironic is how a band of retail investors and traders are being blamed for a war on Hedge Funds. Any Hedge Fund that was short this stock was not a professional, to begin with. I would think any basic technical analysis would have screamed “buy” so if they did not listen, they were trying to manipulate the market assuming they had the power. The huge gap up is clearly shorts bailing out who should have been out a long time ago. As noted, this has been in a bullish trend for about 9 months.
My conclusion is that this rally is not a “manipulation” but an attempt to suppress the market and as such the shorts were compelled to bailout. But that is their fault because they were fighting the charts. Hence, the retail participants should not be pounding their chest just yet. The sharp rally is also due to a lack of liquidity. This does not appear to be a pump and dump against the established trend, as the trend was up to start with.

The reality of DC elites demanding walls to protect them from the common American is a stunning shift in outlook from when the U.S. Capitol used to be considered “the people’s house.” Alas the voices are now asking for exactly that… a permanent fence to keep the American people away from those who run government.
WASHINGTON DC – The acting chief of U.S. Capitol Police called for permanent fencing around the Capitol building days after she said that the department “failed” in its efforts to protect the sprawling complex on Jan. 6 when rioters stormed the building.
“In light of recent events, I can unequivocally say that vast improvements to the physical security infrastructure must be made to include permanent fencing, and the availability of ready, back-up forces in close proximity to the Capitol,” Acting Chief Yogananda Pittman said in a statement.
The move would be a striking shift from the accessibility many Americans have enjoyed over the years visiting the grounds of “The People’s House,” such as sitting on the lawn in front of the building, accessing the trails and green spaces around the building and field trips to the steps of the Capitol by schoolchildren.

Former White House Trade and Economic Advisor Peter Navarro was the tip-of-the-spear outlining election fraud, via impossible statistics, from the White House. Navarro is also a well known China critic, which positions him against the objectives of the JoeBama administration.
In a blatant move to protect the interests of a corrupt state, Big Tech continues to shut-down the accounts of voices adverse to their ideological position.
(Epoch Times) […] “It wasn’t because of anything I said, it’s because of who I am and what I might say. The great firewall of Silicon Valley grew another few feet today,” Navarro said Wednesday during an appearance on Fox News’ “Tucker Carlson Tonight.”
“This is totally unacceptable. If Jack Dorsey came up to me in the public square, ripped down a sign from my hand in a peaceful protest, stomped on it, and then muzzled me, he’d get arrested, but he can do that now in the digital public square,” he added. Dorsey is Twitter’s CEO. (more)
