The Electoral Votes


Armstrong Economics Blog/Politics Re-Posted Dec 18, 2020 by Martin Armstrong

QUESTION: What do you mean that the electoral votes could change on the 6 of Jan?

FP

ANSWER: In three of the seven states in question—Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin—Republicans currently control the state legislatures while Democrats hold the governor’s mansions. In New Mexico and Nevada, Democrats control both. In Georgia and Arizona, Republicans control both. In the case of Pennsylvania, for example, the legislature joined the Texas lawsuit against their own state.

At the electoral college vote on December 14, a slate of Democratic electors naturally chose Joe Biden. However, the Republican electors voted for President Donald Trump. If the vote is overturned for fraud, a long shot, by a court, then the vote on the 6th would change because both sent their votes to Congress. Then Congress would count the Republican votes that are already there in parallel.

I know this sounds crazy, but the last time this took place where both groups from the same state sent in competing votes was during the 1960 election between Kennedy and Nixon. Back then, the governor of Hawaii certified electors for Republican Richard Nixon. Democratic electors cast their votes for Democrat John F. Kennedy.

The computer has been highlighting the weeks of 12/21 and 01/04 are the key targets rather than the inauguration. This is very interesting, to say the least.

COVID Medical Testimony before Congress

It’s never been about Trump; It’s always been about first trashing then crashing America


No, the hate and retribution had never been about Donald Trump until he had the wherewithal to get in the middle of the fray, God bless him

EVERY legislator capitulating to censored press reports and advising President Trump to accept compromised election results (despite concrete lawsuits pending in six states) is complicit in the attempted coup. That includes democrat, republican, independent or other politically allied individual holding office, or standing in the wings to take or influence office.

Demonstrable evidence of voter fraud in more than half the states signals the true nature of the fight to save our compound constitutional republic.

President Trump is the current catalyst for the final assault against the Constitution

This battle has never been about Donald Trump’s nature or capability to serve in the White House though that mantra has been invoked by media and politically motivated characters across the fruited plain. President Trump is the current catalyst for the final assault against the Constitution. As the representative for independent-thinking Americans, who are the majority, his alternating flamboyant and bombastic public persona is being used to inflame hate-filled rhetoric that has translated into urban violence and acceptance of election manipulation to overthrow the republic.

The 2020 election cycle is the clumsy culmination of decades of political, educational and media corruption instituted to undermine the American culture of liberty. Where the left has been successful is in censoring information, otherwise known as lying by omission, and disseminating falsehoods—example: stating that 39 cases challenging election results have been dismissed, to which Rudy Giuliani replied that President’s Trump’s legal team had only filed three cases.

As the legal process advances with lawsuits filed by Sidney Powell’s independent team on behalf of individuals in Georgia, Michigan, etc., the Amistad Project in Pennsylvania and five other states regarding illegal election practices, and Rep. Mike Kelly and Sean Parnell (PA) challenging blatant unconstitutional absentee ballot rules, the mounting evidence of illegal activity on the part of election officials is beyond concerning.

Lazy news consumers who tune into Mainstream Fake News Media will never hear a peep about the lawsuits, the vetted evidence of election misconduct

At the least, it’s worrisome to those who bypass the propagandist media to find evidentiary videos showing unauthorized after-hours ballot dumps (from hidden suitcases, no less), witnesses’ press conferences, and watch live broadcasts of the hearings in Michigan, Arizona, Nevada, Pennsylvania and elsewhere. Lazy news consumers who tune into the US’ version of the old USSR’s Pravda (CNN, MSNBC, CBS, ABC, FOX, NBC, NY Times, WaPo, et al) will never hear a peep about the lawsuits, the vetted evidence of election misconduct or even the innumerable gaffes of Joe Biden, creating questions regarding his mental capacity.

Relying on the courts to adjudicate without bias the multiple incidents of counting unverified, suspicious ballots, electronic vote manipulation and illegally transporting ballots across state lines is becoming a matter of doubt as rulings have been made according to political leanings, overriding legislative process.

The whiffleball effect of political influence upon the bench ratchets up the concern whether a just outcome is possible.

In the long run, and this has been a protracted effort to neuter the vibrant American economy and way of life

As a legal alternative, Lt. Gen. Thomas McInerny and L. Lin Wood among others have called for the president to take measures (that we also presented November 13) regarding the constitutional application of martial law to settle the obvious and ongoing insurrection.

In one way was the general incorrect when he called the coup “bloodless” thus far? There have been anarchists (hirelings of coup funders) who have murdered and instigated the bloodletting released in the streets of Portland, Kenosha and Minneapolis. The arson that has swept the cities as well as some western forest fires has been tracked back to Antifa and BLM, both of which are democrat and globalist stooges.

In the long run, and this has been a protracted effort to neuter the vibrant American economy and way of life, Donald J. Trump is the individual intrepid enough to step up and represent the republic, allowing the left to target him mercilessly. All focus has been centered on removing him because he stands as the champion carrying our colors into battle.

Up until he decided to breach the political wall, the left loved his brashness, currying his favor for personal gain, hoping his celebrity and wealth would rub off on them. But once they imagined that he crossed them by throwing in with the enemy—conservative American values—all bets were off and Trump was securely locked in the democrat globalist crosshairs.

Complaining that Trump is an upstart from base beginnings is an interesting twist coming from narcissists like Barack Obama, Bill Gates, Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden

Complaining that Trump is an upstart from base beginnings is an interesting twist coming from narcissists like Barack Obama, Bill Gates, Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden and George Soros, all who scrabbled their way from ignominy to the top through illicit means. Odd how they and other political climbers set themselves above the lowly (the true American dreamers) assuming they have a right of supremacy to determine how others should order their lives.

Here’s a newsflash for the self-ordained aristocracy that have manipulated and misappropriated the vote, testing their scheme through decades of elections leading up to this massive fraud, to set themselves in the catbird seat: there is no noble class in the United States of America however much these carpetbaggers try to create one. Ill-gotten wealth does not bestow wisdom, it perverts it. It is this perversion of self-endowed enlightenment that has brought this nation to the brink of destruction because it has infected the educated to believe folly.

No, the hate and retribution had never been about Donald Trump until he had the wherewithal to get in the middle of the fray, God bless him.

Rudy Revere and Sidney Powell- Justice Is Coming


Justice is Coming all is not lost yet!

Re-Posted from GrrrGraphic.com NOV 20, 2020 

I had a gut feeling the Democrats cheated and stole the election for Biden. I realized something foul was afoot when the vote counting in key states was delayed for many hours.

Why? Because Trump garnered far more votes that expected and the Democrat operatives in charge scrambled to create more last minute votes for Biden. Ballots on palettes. When the CNN shill announced that China Biden the pedophile suddenly overcame a large vote deficit in several states and magically obtained a comfortable lead, I knew cheating had occurred and I went to bed disgusted and with a sense of foreboding.

Turns out my gut instinct was correct. The Democrat Socialists stole it outright from Trump. But where is the proof? Trump’s legal team held a news conference yesterday to make the case. Voting machines with changed algorithms, Biden ballots counted and multiplied several times, Trump votes discarded, and Republican witnesses banned. Dead people voting for Biden. The corruption and fraud went on and on, but the Democratic mainstream legacy media would have none of it. No proof was offered, they said—only ‘conspiracy theories.’ Even Tucker Carlson chimed in to say Sidney Powell offered no proof.

Thanks, Tucker—you only confirm my suspicion that FoxNews really has turned left. I even heard Sean Hannity say on the radio that even if Biden is confirmed as president, America will still be a great country. Uh, no, Sean. America will be further set on the road to ruin by socialist tyrannical forces.

All of this said, if the news conference was meant to spread the good news that justice is coming, it didn’t quite succeed. It didn’t help that Giuliani appeared nervous and sweaty throughout his appearance. Hair dye streamed down the side of his face and distracted from what he had to say. Powerful men tend to be vain. I get that.

If they do indeed have the proof and sworn affidavits that they claim they have, then let’s get the show on the road. Enough reassurances that things will be fine. The same reassurances were made about the swamp getting drained and that hasn’t happened. Barr and Durham have not locked up traitorous criminals who carried out a blatant coup against a lawfully-elected president. Will we now see foot dragging when it comes to an unlawfully elected president?

Sounding the alarm is fine. Shining light on what’s going on is great, but an old lantern may not cut it. Enough cheerleading and proffers of hope. Cut to the chase. Get ‘er done. Let’s get Trump the second term he has earned and deserves.

—Ben Garrison

Tina’s Take- Why wouldn’t Sidney Powell present evidence to Tucker, a journalist with failing ratings?  Well, she explained this morning…

Maria Bartiromo: How did you respond to Tucker Carlson? Did you get angry with the show because they texted you and asked you to provide evidence of what you’re alleging?

Sidney Powell: No, I didn’t get angry with the request to provide evidence in fact I sent an affidavit to Tucker that I had not even attached to a pleading yet to help him understand the situation and I offered him another witness who could explain the mathematics of the statistical evidence far better than I can. I’m not really a numbers person. But he was very insulting, demanding and rude and I told him not to contact me again in those terms.

Tucker, your “Tucker Tantrum” was pretty childish. I guess Fox News’ new slogan is appropriate ..”Standing up for The Deep State”

Has Socrates Ever Been Wrong on a Political Forecast?


Armstrong Economics Blog/Uncategorized Re-Posted Nov 19, 2020 by Martin Armstrong

QUESTION: How long has Socrates been making political forecasts. Was it ever wrong?

DK

ANSWER: The only election I would say that Socrates was both correct and wrong was that of 2000. It projected that Al Gore would win. Of course, that election went to the Supreme Court and they stopped the count and handed it to Bush. Later, the final count showed that Al Gore had won by 500,000 votes.

Other than that, Socrates has NEVER been wrong on any election. Even back in 1999, I delivered perhaps the most shocking political forecast that was ever made by Socrates – the Japan election. I stood up in Tokyo and forecast that the LDP would lose for the first time since World War II. That really did send shock waves in Japan and the LDP was not happy. Our clients in Japan believed that the entire case brought against me and Princeton Economics was instigated by the LDP because of our forecast that they would lose the election which is what took place.

Our Japanese clients believed that the entire case against me was set in motion by the LDP who had sent a letter to the Federal Reserve asking to confirm that we had $10 billion on deposit at Republic National Bank on August 18th, 1999 which was being sold to HSBC for $10 billion. The bank panicked, stole the $1 billion that was on deposit, ran to the Fed, and said $10 billion was missing and they had no idea where it was. The US authorities went back to ask to please confirm, for back then $10 billion was huge. Then 13 days later, the Japanese responded – oh so sorry, $1 billion. But the bankers had stolen the $1 billion and then could not put it back.

I did an interview in the Japanese press and told my clients the bank stole the money and they had to come file suit against the bank or they would NEVER see a dime knowing the US prosecutors ALWAYS protect the bankers in New York. They did, which is why those suits forced Republic/HSBC to plead guilty.

The government sold our notes to HSBC to hid the fact they were wrong from the outset. They then assisted HSBC to take our profit of $400 million since the notes were in Japanese yen and the move between the yen from 1995 to 1999 saw the yen collapse from 75:1 to 147:1. The US authorities could not allow this case to ever go to trial because they never understood the currency. When they did, they would have looked stupid so they hid the truth from the world to protect their personal careers.

To prevent me from helping my clients against Republic/HSBC, the corrupt court imposed a lifetime gag order on me to prevent me from providing evidence to my own clients who had filed lawsuits against the bank.

Hence, I never had any restitution, the bank’s deal, as always, they made everyone whole and no banker went to prison, and they got to keep our $400 million profit. This is the way real corruption works in New York. I seriously doubt that a few extra bucks were not shared by those prosecuting and sitting in judgment over this absurd case. As Sydney Powell explained in her books – prosecutors always just lie.

So, to answer the question about Socrates’ political forecasts, I think they have been spot on for a very long time.

Michigan State House Representatives Request Ballot Audit Before State Certification…


Posted originally on The Conservative Tree House on November 12, 2020 by sundance

Today in Michigan two state house representatives have written a letter to the Secretary of State asking for an election audit ahead of the state certification for the 2020 election.   The likelihood of success is not high as the Secretary of State in Michigan is a participating Democrat in the ballot issues.  [Link to Letter]

Even the British Press has Conspired to Support Communism 3.0 – Again!


Armstrong Economics Blog/Great Reset R-Posted Nov 11, 2020 by Martin Armstrong

I will cancel my subscript to the Economist. I use to respect that magazine, but no longer. The Economist has gone beyond fake news; they are deliberately now supporting Communism as the press did with Stalin. The British Press has turned to nothing but propaganda, and they too are doing everything they can to create a new Communist World Over. In Schwab’s book, chapter one calls for a MACRO RESET. In other words, destroy the entire world economy and redesign it his way. World leaders make their pilgrimage to Davos to kiss the ring, if not the feet, of Klaus Schwab. So if you have lost everything, that is the man to point the finger to, and there should be a class-action lawsuit against him and the World Economic Forum. Subpoena all their financial records and you will see he sold assets at the top. Everyone should be equal, but not him and his organization.

Just look at the number of states in total lockdown. I have stated many times, no politicians in their right mind would intentionally destroy jobs and expect to run for election again. What is interesting is how they have conspired against Trump from every possible angle. He still stands and fights, and for that, I must admire his courage. There is scarcely a human who has been so tormented, ridiculed and insulted by the entire world, and he holds his ground. They cheered Hitler and Stalin until they discovered the truth. The New York Times even championed Stalin and argued the United States should move to Communism.

Willam Shakespeare (1564-1616) famous line, “The first thing we do, let’s kill all the lawyers,” was not “lawyers” as know them today. The only person even allowed to have a lawyer back then was the King, and they were the king’s prosecutors. Today, that would be the prosecutors and police in modern time and will undoubtedly include the journalists who have been selling Communism 3.0 and this entire agenda. So if people ask me to do I think a revolution is coming, my answer is yes, in many countries. Europe may be where the contagion spreads. You cannot have academics like Schwab and Thomas Piketty simply advocate destroying everything everyone has and redesigning it while sipping coffee in a 5-star restaurant. Over 200 million people died the last time this was attempted. This time it may be billions.

You can already see the sheer hatred rising from the left. They will NEVER tolerate any dissent. They do not believe in Democracy, freedom, or anything listed in the Declaration of Independence. All my friends who came to the West from the East all say the same thing — this is precisely what they fled.

The Real Reason Regressives Are Pretending Biden Won


Get the motive for voter fraud now? Get the fear factor? Don’t look for any other reason. Trump knows firsthand the depth of their corrupt, seditious and even treasonous acts…and they themselves know it too! 

Re-Posted from the Canada Free Press By Joan Swirsky —— Bio and ArchivesNovember 9, 2020

The Real Reason Regressives Are Pretending Biden Won“The ‘journalists’ of the news media have begun the relentless drumbeat of proclaiming ‘President-elect Biden.’ This is make-believe.” Writer Chris Farrell

Shortly before the November 3rd election for President of the United States, the proprietors of storefronts, buildings, restaurants, dealerships, and businesses of all types across our entire vast country boarded up their facades in anticipation of widespread rioting, arson, looting, massive destruction and violent assaults by Republicans if Joe Biden won the contest. 

Just kidding. In fact, these measures were taken to avoid the by-now familiar acting-out violence that Democrats and the thugs they support in Black Lives Matter and Antifa have been demonstrating for the world to witness for the past six months—in at least 15 once-peaceful Democrat-run cities—when they object to this or that policy, statue, police department, et al. 



STILL UNKNOWN

It goes without saying that those proprietors—who spent multi-thousands of dollars to protect the businesses that support their families, and that help them pay taxes to our government, boarded up their properties knowing that if President Trump won reelection, they would be the merciless targets of the bought-and-paid-for Democrat anarchists who unfortunately symbolize today’s Ugly Americans.

Interestingly, several days after the election and in eager anticipation of the Biden-Kalamity [premature and erroneous] announcement of their victory, a large crowd of Tolerant Democrats rallied outside the White House, as always spewing vulgarities and displaying placards expressing nastiness and filth. Who can draw a conclusion other than the Democrats are both sore losers and sore winners? 

We have still to learn the outcome of the election, thanks to the new and unprecedented Covid-dictated “rules” about mail-in ballots, late voting, delayed returns, strange rulings by Democrat-appointed judges, and chilling reports of such rampant voter fraud by Democrats that it defies what any American—living or dead—has ever seen. 

Why? Because the Never-Trumpers and, again, the bought-and-paid for corrupt media, were beyond desperate, having failed thunderously for the previous four years to take the president down and to bring about the coup d’état they have dreamed about since 2016.

What to do? Why, rig the election, of course!

Below is just a tiny sampling of the massive voting irregularities and fraud that were discovered both before and after Joe Biden and Kalamity Harris declared victory through their media lackeys, in clear defiance of the U.S. Constitution and 243-years of American tradition:

  • On Election night at approximately 4 a.m., 138,000 ballots were “instantaneously” counted in Wisconsin and, magically, every single ballot was for Joe Biden (Mmmm). 
  • The next day, Rudy Giuliani, in Philly, PA, spelled out massive fraud re mail-in ballots that Republican observers were illegally stopped from overseeing the vote—the same illegalities happening in Arizona, Detroit, Nevada, and Milwaukee. 
  • In Michigan, a U.S. Postal Service whistleblower reported that his superiors told him to backdate late mail-in ballots so they would be accepted. They also recorded the vote of a man born in 1850 and another who died in 1984.
  • Also in Michigan a software error (Mmmm) switched 6,000 Republican votes to Democrat. The same software is used in 47 Michigan counties!
  • A lawsuit filed by the Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF) alleged there were at least 21,000 dead people on PA’s voter rolls. As of October 2020, at least 9,212 registrants had been dead for at least five years, at least 1,990 registrants dead for at least 10 years, and at least 197 registrants have been dead for at least 20 years.”
  • In a county in Georgia, poll watchers took ballots home with them.
  • https://mynewscorp.com/updated-military-ballots-found-in-the-trash-in-pennsylvania-most-were-trump-votes/
  • In VA, Trump held roughly a 300,000-vote lead, but then—again, magically—a huge trove of approximately 400,000 votes came in for Joe Biden—but not one for Donald Trump. “Amazing, writes blogger Fred Miller, “how one can suddenly discover huge batches of votes 100% for Biden, 0% for Trump, when and wherever one chances to need them.”
  • Lt. Gen. Thomas McInerney explained that a pair of computer software programs—Hammer and Scorecard—initially designed for the CIA before being privatized by Deep State players from the Obama administration, were used to change votes from Trump to Biden in multiple voting locations…possibly in all the swing states. Admiral James A. “Ace” Lyons, on his death bed (in Nov. 2019), reportedly told his longtime friend McInerney: “The Hammer is key to the coup.” 
  • Another computer system, Dominion, although known to be defective, was used in 30 states, including every swing state. And whaddaya know? Nancy Pelosi’s Chief of Staff and Sen. Dianne Feinstein’s husband are both shareholders in Dominion!
  • Author Michael Charles Master reported (read the entire riveting article) that at midnight, “Trump led in all the battleground states by large margins…but for some unexplainable reason, WI, MI, PA, NC and NV all stopped counting votes simultaneously… and none of those states counted any additional votes for the next three hours….and NOT ONE TV commentator—including on now-leftist Fox—asked why! Master pointed out that all five of those states have Democrat governors. Mmmm.

    Votes vs. Voters
  • A self-described Democrat Party Worker from Detroit bragged on Facebook: “I threw out every Trump ballot I saw. Tens of thousands of them and so did all of my co-workers”

But don’t take my word for it. Here, in his own words, is Hunter Biden’s father boasting of having participated in developing “the most extensive voter fraud organization in history.”

THE ONION

An onion, as everyone knows, has many many layers. Just try peeling an onion to see why it is the perfect metaphor for complicated subjects that require many levels of exploration to plumb their depths and understand their meaning.  

But the Trump onion phenomenon has only two layers, both of them psychological.

The first layer is jealousy, which I have always believed is the strongest human emotion, going back to the Bible. Stronger than hatred. Stronger than anger—responsible, in fact, for most criminal acts, from theft to conspiracy to violence to murder. This is the stuff of tragedy… and also, sometimes, redemption.

In our metaphorical onion, the human emotion that competes most ferociously with jealously is fear. One has only to look at the international dread of the Covid-19 virus to see the power of fear to destroy economies, isolate human beings for months on end, and inspire Democrats to defy the U.S. Constitution and the rule of law in order to try to rig the most important election of our lifetimes in their favor.

THE FEAR FACTOR

But what do the Regressives among us have to be afraid of? 

You could speculate that what fuels the hostility of the Left is not fear, that it’s resentment because of the mountain of bruised egos the Democrats have experienced after working mightily for over four years to depose, sabotage, impeach, and topple the Trump presidency—all crashing failures—and that a Biden victory would allow all of them to save face. After all, even the passage of time rarely calms this kind of narcissistic injury. While this theory may be plausible, it’s not very compelling. 

Then what? It’s so obvious. The reason why Democrats have spent billions of dollars to defeat President Trump is not because of their Marxist ideology and not because of their massive investments in the global economy, but rather because they are rightly terrified that when President Trump is announced the winner, an avalanche of indictments, trials, and lengthy prison terms will rain down on them—on all of them, including the very top of the top echelon.

As one small example, reported by Brannon Howse: In 2003, CIA contractor Dennis Montgomery built the Hammer (discussed above) as a foreign surveillance tool, but it was subsequently commandeered in 2009 by the Obama regime (including CIA Director John Brennan and Director of National Intelligence James Clapper), which turned Montgomery into a whistleblower who testified that among 600-million pages of documents stored on the program’s 47 hard drives—which were turned over to the FBI—were 10,000 pages of documents regarding Hunter Biden and Joe Biden, including videos and images. 

Get the motive for voter fraud now?

Get the fear factor?

Don’t look for any other reason. Trump knows firsthand the depth of their corrupt, seditious and even treasonous acts…and they themselves know it too! 

Stay tuned.

The CIA Ability to Hack the Vote


Armstrong Economics Blog/Politics Re-Posted Nov 3, 2020 by Martin Armstrong

I have independent sources that have long confirmed that this is absolutely spot on. This is something neither Russia nor China could do because they lack the infrastructure that the CIA/NSA has established with taps directly into the trunk lines for communications. Moreover, that was also confirmed by the documents released by Snowden.

It is not the Chinese nor the Russians who they will probably blame, but the homegrown swamp. The real question remains, can they pull this off on a grand scale this time? What they hate about Trump is the same thing they hated about Kennedy – reduce American presence in absurd wars. It was Kennedy who set off a gold panic in 1960 during the debate by saying to support the dollar it would be easy by closing offshore military bases.

The Great Red Wave Rising


What Blue Wave?

Have you noticed how loud and shrill Fake News has become in these last days before the election? The polls are screaming Biden ahead, Trump way behind. The polls were wrong in 2016 and are wrong in 2020.  We have a new factor, the “shy” Trump voter thrown into the mix. Shy Trump voters won’t talk to pollsters and when they do, they tell the pollsters that they are voting Biden. When you see what the left has done to Trump supporters, harassment and physical violence, you can understand why the Shy Trump voter holds his cards close.

So it comes down to this: who are you gonna believe? The Fake News and rigged pollsters, or your lying eyes?

What my “lying” eyes see are huge Trump crowds at Trump’s rallies, er “peaceful protests.”  People lining up for hours and even days before the rally starts, crowds lining the roads to just get a glimpse of the President when he drives by. Boat parades, car parades, even Amish buggy Trump support parades. The most recent Trump car caravan stretched over 6 miles!

America loves the President and the President loves America!

Compare that to the ‘enthusiasm” for the Biden campaign.  You know Joe’s in trouble when they  drag out Obama, who spoke to about 100 cars at his event. Obama, the poster boy for the Democrats, can’t even draw more than a hundred people now. Biden has spoken to “crowds” of 12.  Their excuse? “We don’t want these to be super spreader events!” Yeah, right.

Meanwhile, consecutive nights of rioting are happening in Philadelphia.

Mobs vs. Jobs.

Law and order vs lawlessness.

America First vs. China First.

The American people know, they want their country back. They know the Democrats are no longer the party of JFK, but the party of Mao and Stalin, radical America hating communists who want to control every aspect of your lives.

And so the Great Red Wave of 2020 rises….

Please vote for President Trump, vote like your life depends on it. Vote like your children’s lives depends on it…vote like your grandchildren’s lives depends on it….because they do.

VOTE MAGA VOTE TO SAVE AMERICA!
