The Future & Safe Havens


QUESTION: Hi martin
Hope you are keeping great and getting better each day.
You mentioned in a previous blog that you would be talking about safe havens if there are any. Is this something you will be talking about in future.
Thanks for keeping me sane in these crazy times.
All the best

ANSWER: We are running our models on every country in the world in search of an alternative. There is no question about it, we will release a report quickly on this Great Reset. The computer has been forecasting these events and quite honestly, it has never been wrong. The problem has been it cares not who the actor is, it merely looks at the trend. I have taken great pains to investigate and document the players and their goals. No government will dare even investigate these people and they have enough money to bribes every politician to do their bidding. They are making a serious mistake for what they are doing is cornering the population and they will soon see what a revolution really is all about.

It forecast in 1985 that we would see the first time a third-party candidate could win the White House in 2016. That forecast was made long before anyone even thought of Donald Trump. The event takes place on schedule and we have to fill in the fundamentals. The computer has been forecasting that Western Civilization would crash and burn by 2032 and the financial capital of the world would shift to China. We can see with each passing month how that forecast is unfolding on schedule. NEVER in my wildest dreams would I have suspected that a group of billionaires would ban together to destroy our world economy so they could reshape it in the fashion they desire.

Nevertheless, we are working diligently to try to map out6 the various paths to the future for all of us to take. These people are of course exempting themselves from their own proposals, but they support a 400% increase in taxation on the rest of us great unwashed.

Is Trudeau Hiding Environmental Data Calling Top Secret Because it Exposes his Government?


Armstrong Economics Blog

In Canada, the Trudeau government is refusing to release carbon tax data, saying it is top secret so that Canadians are unable to see the findings of the report. This is pretty standard for if it supported their agenda, they would be the first to release it to the public. Things become secret like the Kennedy Assassination files only when the expose the corruption within the government. Trudeau certain does not want to reveal that all the taxes imposed for the climate never go to anything connected to the climate.

United Nations Now Muscling In on U.S. Police Reform


Meanwhile, for the sake of survival and American sovereignty: ‘Get the U.N. out of America and America out of the U.N’.

United Nations Now Muscling In on U.S. Police Reform

The New World Order ever-seeking United Nations is about to jump, four square, into the U.S. reformation of police force initiatives—politicizing them even further than they already are.

Little known and rarely ever written about, the World’s biggest bureaucracy, by virtue of city mayors and councillors aiding and abetting ‘peaceful’ protesters now holding cities like Seattle hostage, is the biggest player in the globalist fight to defund and even abolish American police forces.

Not only is Seattle a ‘U.N. Agenda 21/30 City-so are some 600—and still counting—other American cities.

(Editor’s Note: The list of 600 or so cities is from a WayBackMachine Archives List because ICLEI (International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives, Local Governments for Sustainability) deleted the link in 2012). 

“The United Nations Association – Greater Seattle Chapter is a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization that supports the work of the United Nations as one of a number of local chapters of the United Nations Association of the United States (UNA-USA). UNA Seattle encourages active civic participation in the most important social and economic issues facing the world today, from global health and human rights to the spread of democracy to equitable and sustainable development.  (Idealist.org)

“Our Mission: UNA-GSC is dedicated to educating, inspiring and mobilizing members of the Greater Seattle community to support the principles and vital work of the United Nations and to advocate for full engagement by the United States in the United Nations.”

“Towns and cities—long ago hijacked by the United Nations Agenda 21/2030—have already completed the process and are now owned lock, stock and barrel by the UN without their citizens even being aware of it. (Canada Free Press, June 22, 2019)

“Although it’s now a worldwide trend, the list of ICLEI-controlled cities in the U.S. and Canada is stupendous.”

The inhabitants of some 1,200 cities—600 of them American—do not even know they’ve been hijacked by the UN’s Agenda 21/30.

Without their inhabitants even being aware of it, the UN is as much an enemy to U.S. sovereignty as the European Union is to the sovereignty of European nations.

Agenda 21/30 is hard to nail down. It suits to a ‘t’ the old saying: “It would be like trying to nail jelly to a wall”.

Prominent among the claims that it doesn’t exist is the one defining Agenda 21/30 as “a non-binding resolution not a treaty, which carries no legal authority from which any nation is bound to act.  It has no teeth.” (Tom DeWeese).

“Of course Agenda 21 has no teeth, it only has fangs. (Canada Free Press, Aug. 20, 2012)

“A huge part of the problem in trying to fight off ownership by Agenda 21 are the multiple names and descriptions for it and the tons of U.N. paper produced to keep it recycled through the countless bureaucrats in villages, towns and cities.

“A veritable moving target that never goes away, Agenda 21 has more pages and as many clauses as the unread Health Bill known as ObamaCare.

“Some day when historians are sifting through the ashes of what was once the Free West trying to determine what happened,  they will discover that freedom was lost through ‘The Agenda That Wasn’t Really There’.

“It was always difficult for the masses to catch on to the game-plan with the U.N. masquerading as ‘Grand Peace Central’.

“Though word leader lemmings and the U.N. have turned citizen suspicion of the all-encompassing Agenda 21 into conspiracy theory, ‘The Agenda That Wasn’t Really There’ is the world’s most clear and present danger.

“As patriots try to define it, the U.N. continues to change it just as the far left keeps moving the goal posts.

“The best definition of Agenda 21 comes right from the U.N. itself.  In 1993, the U.N. published ‘Agenda 21: The Earth Summit Strategy to Save Our Planet’:

“Agenda 21 proposes an array of actions which are intended to be implemented by every person on earth…it calls for specific changes in the activities of all people…Effective execution of Agenda 21 will require a profound reorientation of all humans, unlike anything the world has ever experienced.”

“Written in benign-sounding, Save-Mother-Earth style under the ruse of environmentalism,  this major undertaking is the mechanism to confiscate privately held lands; the ironclad means to dictate to people from all walks of life, where they can live, what they can eat and drink, what to drive, and how to heat and light their apartments or homes.

“Agenda 21 is a blight extending over all countries in the world, much worse than the killer flu bugs about which the U.N.  through its World Health Organization (WHO) constantly sends out its dire warnings.”

The Agenda’s main focus is currently the United States of America—which incredibly pays the lion’s share of the U.N.’s freight.

Why are world cities marching lemming like toward the edge of the cliff?

“Like a cancer, ICLEI begins to infest the local government policy, training city employees to think only in terms of Sustainable Development, and replacing local guidelines with international codes, rules and regulations.” (Tom DeWeese)

Before muscling in on the globalist fight to defund and abolish American police forces, the UN picked up steam from the Alexandria Ocasio- Cortez-led Green New Deal.

It is more important than ever for Americans to understand what the UN Agenda 21/30 is all about.

Citizens pressed for time can easily navigate their way through the long wordage and deceit of what the UN Agenda 21/30 is all about by clicking on to the Agenda21Course.com Newsletter.

Meanwhile, for the sake of survival and American sovereignty:  ‘Get the U.N. out of America and America out of the U.N’.

Lockdowns, tracing, testing, vaccinating, and Liberty


Liberty: “the state of being free within society from oppressive restrictions imposed by authority on one’s way of life, behavior, or political views; the state of not being imprisoned or enslaved.”

Lockdowns, tracing, testing, vaccinating, and LibertyThese are the days.  These are the days when men and women accept draconian measures as if they were trifles.

The nation and the world come grinding to a halt, and it is just another “interruption.”

In 1776, there was a revolution against restraints from a foreign power.  Now there is bleating from domestic governors about lockdowns, tracing, testing, vaccinating, and the majority of the populace obeys these tyrants without question.  Even with loyalty.

“What harm could come from a government giving gifts?”

(To read about Jon’s mega-collection, The Matrix Revealedclick here.)

Birthed after blood and sacrifice, national government in the United States was severely hamstrung, in order to prevent abuses of power.  But it has become the teat, the Giver and the Taker.  The wanton parent.

And now for decades, people have shrugged: “What harm could come from a government giving gifts?”

People say, “What harm could come from schools that don’t teach history?  We already have freedom.  Who cares how we got it?”

The exalted nature of Liberty has been disposed of in a sea of amnesia.

“Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end. It is not for the sake of a good public administration that it is required, but for security in the pursuit of the highest objects of civil society, and of private life.” (Lord Acton, 1877)

“There is danger from all men. The only maxim of a free government ought to be to trust no man living with power to endanger the public liberty.” (John Adams, 1772)

If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.”  (Samuel Adams, 1776)

“The people never give up their liberties but under some delusion.”  (Edmund Burke, 1784)

Does none of this matter now?  Are pacification and passivity the cardinal virtues?  If so, I suggest a new Constitution, where we can enshrine these qualities with official language and be done with it.

We threw off the King of England so we could have YouTube and Facebook

BILL OF RIGHTS:

ONE: Shout “this is science!” when anyone threatens the power of government.

TWO: Censor dissent for the sake of public safety, according to guidelines laid down by government and corporations.  Disrupt the lives of dissenters.

THREE: Give up Liberty when the authorities demand it.

That is all.  Done.

We threw off the King of England so we could have YouTube and Facebook.

Exalted Liberty, tossed overboard into a sea of hypnotic assurance.

“Perhaps the enemies of liberty are such only because they judge it by its loud voice. If they knew its charms, the dignity that accompanies it, how much a free man feels like a king, the perpetual inner light that is produced by decorous self-awareness and realization, perhaps there would be no greater friends of freedom than those who are its worst enemies.”  (Jose Marti, 1893)

“What light is to the eyes, what love is to the heart, Liberty is to the soul of man. Without it, there come suffocation, degradation and death.” (Robert G Ingersoll, 1887)

If I had a child, I would home school him, and for a year we would do nothing but delve deeply into these and other remembrances of Liberty, re-establishing its exalted nature.  For those of you who do have children, that is what I suggest.

An education of mind, body, heart, and soul.

 

Where Liberty once was

Where Liberty once was.

That creature called socialism is, in effect, the transfer of any remaining Liberty to government, based on the fatuous hope that giving complete power to a tyrannical force will somehow reform that force and transform it into a messiah.  And this is the best formulation.  A more realistic appraisal would be: socialism is a notorious promoted enslavement, whereby elite men behind a curtain preach Centralized Authority as Kindness and Fairness, in order to raise an army of idealistic ravening wolves who will dispossess the people of everything they own.

Obviously, in order for this operation to succeed, the people must have forgotten that ANY quality of The Individual could occupy an exalted and eternal position—-a quality such as Liberty.

Once upon a time, defiant poetry about Liberty from oppression could move armies.  The stakes were as high as they have ever been.

From history.com:

”…General George Washington’s troops were encamped at McKonkey’s Ferry on the Delaware River opposite Trenton, New Jersey. In August, they had suffered humiliating defeats and lost New York City to British troops. Between September and December, 11,000 American volunteers gave up the fight and returned to their families. General Washington could foresee the destiny of a rebellion without an army if the rest of his men returned home when their service contracts expired on December 31. He knew that without an upswing in morale and a significant victory, the American Revolution would come to a swift and humiliating end.”

”…[Thomas Paine’s] Common Sense was the clarion call that began the revolution. As Washington’s troops retreated from New York through New Jersey, Paine again rose to the challenge of literary warfare. With another pamphlet] American Crisis, he delivered the words that would salvage the revolution.”

“Washington commanded that the freshly printed pamphlet be read aloud to his dispirited men; the rousing prose had its intended effect. Reciting Paine’s impassioned words, the beleaguered troops mustered their remaining hopes for victory and crossed the icy Delaware River to defeat hung-over Hessians on Christmas night and on January 2, the British army’s best general, Earl Cornwallis, at the Battle of Princeton. With victory in New Jersey, Washington won not only two battles, but also the love and thanks of man and woman.”

“THESE are the times that try men’s souls”

Paine’s famous words:

“THESE are the times that try men’s souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as FREEDOM should not be highly rated.”

Paine wrote more:

”…I have as little superstition in me as any man living, but my secret opinion has ever been, and still is, that God Almighty will not give up a people to military destruction, or leave them unsupportedly to perish, who have so earnestly and so repeatedly sought to avoid the calamities of war, by every decent method which wisdom could invent.”

“Neither have I so much of the infidel in me, as to suppose that He has relinquished the government of the world, and given us up to the care of devils…”

“…in the fourteenth century the whole English army, after ravaging the kingdom of France, was driven back like men petrified with fear; and this brave exploit was performed by a few broken forces collected and headed by a woman, Joan of Arc.”

“…Let it be told to the future world, that in the depth of winter, when nothing but hope and virtue could survive, that the city and the country, alarmed at one common danger, came forth to meet and to repulse it.”

“…Say not that thousands [of soldiers] are gone, turn out your tens of thousands; throw not the burden of the day upon Providence, but ‘show your faith by your works,’ that God may bless you. It matters not where you live, or what rank of life you hold, the evil or the blessing will reach you all. The far and the near, the home counties and the back, the rich and the poor, will suffer or rejoice alike. The heart that feels not now is dead; the blood of his children will curse his cowardice, who shrinks back at a time when a little might have saved the whole, and made them happy. I love the man that can smile in trouble, that can gather strength from distress, and grow brave by reflection. ’ Tis the business of little minds to shrink; but he whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves his conduct, will pursue his principles unto death….”

The contest is not over.  It is never over.

The Great Reset – The Final Battle Against Marxists


The rising civil unrest is starting to take notice of Bill Gates and his consortium hell-bent on changing the world economy. They have used the coronavirus as a ploy to shut down the world economy all for their Climate Change Agenda. There is a mountain of circumstantial evidence that points to Fauci funding the creation of this virus and transferring it to the Wuhan lab where neither China nor the United States leaked it, but this consortium which has planned this Event 201 on how to destroy the world economy and rebuild it from scratch. They are already introducing Guaranteed Basic Income, assuming they can wipe out over 300 million jobs and then pay people to sit home and watch TV, where they recreate the world in their own image which they are promoting as the Great Reset.

 

This has all been planned and it is being promoted by the infamous Davor — World Economic Forum. These people are all elitists who would never walk among us who they consider the great unwashed. They have unleashed domestic violence on the world and encouraged all the suicides by imprisoning people, and stripping them of all human rights. Their view is that the world is overpopulated, so thinning the herd to save the planet is justified and not genocide. Countries like Thailand saw their tourist trade collapse and countless food lines, all for a fake virus. These people have used the press to terrorize the people to achieve their goal to recreate the world economy as “greener, smarter, and fairer.” The World Economic Forum is promoting a Marxist agenda with a 50-page manifesto organized by the communist Thomas Piketty. The Forum promotes a new Marxist world, calling upon Piketty’s “urgent new message on how to fight inequality” where they want to attack anyone with wealth. Their proposal for Europe is to increase taxation by 400%!

Karl Marx tried this before and over 200 million people lost their lives. This is what Socrates has been forecasting — the destruction of Western Society. This new report puts the faces behind the plot and this is the fight between human rights and oppression.

John Bolton’s Dossier is Bananas – He’s Feeding Rabid Media Spider Monkeys…


Apparently excerpts from former National Security Advisor John Bolton’s dossier have been released to the media.  The Bolton dossier makes some of the most outlandish claims imaginable; and only the most incredibly silly media would ever believe them.  So yeah, that’s exactly what’s happening.

One example within the Bolton Dossier comes from John Bolton himself as he wrote an article in the Wall Street Journal.  Before citing the Bolton article it’s worth remembering CTH was following every detail of the Osaka G20 meeting closely. We took notes on every background and foreground contact and meeting, because the U.S-China Osaka meeting was at a very critical juncture.   [My favorite picture from Osaka, Japan]

Bolton puts this goofball framework to the Osaka, Japan, G20:

(Wall Street Journal) […] In their meeting in Osaka on June 29, Xi told Trump that the U.S.-China relationship was the most important in the world. He said that some (unnamed) American political figures were making erroneous judgments by calling for a new cold war with China.

Whether Xi meant to finger the Democrats or some of us sitting on the U.S. side of the table, I don’t know, but Trump immediately assumed that Xi meant the Democrats.

Trump said approvingly that there was great hostility to China among the Democrats. Trump then, stunningly, turned the conversation to the coming U.S. presidential election, alluding to China’s economic capability and pleading with Xi to ensure he’d win. He stressed the importance of farmers and increased Chinese purchases of soybeans and wheat in the electoral outcome. I would print Trump’s exact words, but the government’s prepublication review process has decided otherwise.  (more)

What clearly pours out of this article, in its totality, is how John Bolton felt unimportant in the world of geopolitics because President Trump relied on the economic team of Secretary Mnuchin, Secretary Ross, USTR Lighthizer and Trade Advisor Peter Navarro to achieve national security objectives.  Bolton’s biggest problem is actually with the Trump doctrine.

Bolton’s frustration is crystal clear in his own words:

[…] The administration has “panda huggers” like Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin; confirmed free-traders like National Economic Council Director Larry Kudlow; and China hawks like Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross, lead trade negotiator Robert Lighthizer and White House trade adviser Peter Navarro.

After I became Trump’s national security adviser in April 2018, I had the most futile role of all: I wanted to fit China trade policy into a broader strategic framework. We had a good slogan, calling for a “free and open Indo-Pacific” region. But a bumper sticker is not a strategy, and we struggled to avoid being sucked into the black hole of U.S.-China trade issues.

President Trump’s foreign policy doctrine is executed through the prism of using economics to achieve national security objectives.

This approach was so fundamentally foreign to Bolton that he couldn’t wrap his mind around how trade and economics could be used instead of dropping bombs.

Note Bolton’s own quote “the most futile role of all“.  He was futile because his DC neocon view to achieve national security through military is so far away from the successful strategic deployment of economics that he cannot fathom it.  Bolton had no way to open his mouth at the table because the economic team was speaking a foreign language.

The use of economics requires an entirely different set of skills.  The strategic map is not looked at from the position of geographies, the map is viewed from the perspectives of wealth, currency exchanges, trade dynamics, tariffs, rules of commerce and other complex economic contracts that require a totally different frame of reference.

Planning successful outcomes on an economic front requires taking steps, gaming out the opponents financial goals, and taking action that seem completely disconnected at the time they are happening – but come together much later on.

An example is U.S. energy development, a strong U.S.-Saudi Arabia relationship to coordinate lower oil prices, liquefied natural gas to Poland and simultaneous sanctions against Venezuela.  Collectively this type of strategic economic process hurts the affluence of Russia, Iran and China and inhibits their geopolitical influence.

Hurt their strategic affluence, diminish their strategic influence…  That’s using economics.  This type of economic process is foreign to the mind of John Bolton.

Serendipitously, USTR Lighthizer was testifying to congress today and was able to field a question about that Osaka G20 meeting & the ridiculous claims of John Bolton. WATCH:

China’s latest disinformation campaign


This campaign exposes exactly what these people think of the average American: dumber than a doorknob and easily influenced by shiny objects

Klaus Rohrich image

Re-posted from the Canada Free Press By  —— Bio and ArchivesJune 16, 2020

China’s latest disinformation campaign

This piece of disinformation sounds like it was written by Bert and Ernie of the Muppets: CHINA WARMS TO FOUR MORE YEARS OF TRUMP PRESIDENCY, published by Bloomberg News yesterday. The article claims that numerous high-level “Chinese officials” are thinking that a Biden presidency would be detrimental to Beijing’s interests.

Where to begin?

Why not start with the name, ‘Bloomberg,’ as in Michael, failed Mayor of the Big Apple and failed presidential candidate for the Democrat Party nomination, avowed mortal enemy of Donald Trump and oh, yes, owner of the Bloomberg business empire, publisher of Bloomberg News.

And just like a singing troupe of parrots

Bert: “Those Chinese leaders are really scared of Joe Biden!”

Ernie: “They know if he becomes President, he’ll get the whole world to gang up on China because he’s such a keen, decisive and articulate leader.”

Another good place to look is at the Chinese Communist Party, whose ‘summertime and the livin’ is easy’ treatment from the Obama Administration, now wants to portray Biden as their worst nightmare in hopes of getting American voters to switch to Biden. It’s called ‘reverse psychology’ in some circles and ‘psychological warfare’ in others, but one would have to be pretty sappy to fall for it.

Lest we forget that Dopey Joe was number two in command in the Obama Administration.

Zhou Xiaoming, a former Chinese trade negotiator, is quoted in the article as saying, “If Biden is elected, I think this could be more dangerous for China, because he will work with allies to target China, whereas Trump is destroying U.S. alliances.” And just like a singing troupe of parrots, “four Chinese officials” echoed that sentiment.

They even had room to introduce some reality as the article goes on to quote Zhou “I don’t think the election will change the relationship in a fundamental way. The deep feeling in the U.S. is that the U.S. should contain China. Whether Trump wins, or Joe goes to Washington, things will get worse.”

As indeed one would expect, given that China has just infected the entire planet with a novel new virus.

MSM, whose lies, disinformation and anti-American provocations, have become ever more strident

Another sector that would benefit greatly from this disinformation campaign is the Washington Establishment, Democrat or Republican, who see Donald Trump as a rogue wave that undermines the sand on which their castles are built. Just imagine, Chuck Schumer, Mitt Romney, Nancy Pelosi, Stacy Abrams and the majority of the old-time Washington insiders looking to depose Trump over the past three and a half years, likely now see this as their last chance to nullify the Donald Trump Phenomenon. If I were a part of this cabal, I’d latch onto that straw in a New York minute, in hopes of returning to what was ‘normal’ in 2016.

Finally, there is the so-called MSM, whose lies, disinformation and anti-American provocations, have become ever more strident in their calls to turn the Ship of State around. Their hopes are that a Biden victory will finally put ‘paid’ to the Trump Phenomenon and return to the days when no one in Washington gave a hoot about fly-over country or the deplorables living in it. If they can convince enough Americans that China is seriously afraid of Biden, then just maybe they can convince enough Americans fed up with China’s antics to swing the vote to Dopey Joe.

In any case, this campaign exposes exactly what these people think of the average American: dumber than a doorknob and easily influenced by shiny objects. Let’s hope this wishful thinking continues through election day, when Americans can decide on their own which candidate would provide a better future.

USTR Lighthizer Plans to Outline Renewed Demand for International Tariff Reciprocity…


U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer is testifying tomorrow at 10:00am to the House Ways and Means committee; later in the afternoon Ambassador Lighthizer will testify before the Senate Finance Committee.

The New York Times has received an advance copy of USTR Lighthizer’s opening statement, and the liberal publication is apoplectic the Trump administration plans to outline an even more aggressive stance toward the iff’s.

According to the pearl-clutching Wall St. class, Lighthizer is going to inform congress of Trump/USTR plans to demand tariff reciprocity; and Lighthizer will indeed raise tariffs against any nation that continues to attempt one-sided benefit. [EU will go bananas]

One method to approach tariff inequality would be for the U.S. to lower the import value threshold for non-tariff exemptions. Currently the U.S. does not apply import duties to any product valued under $800. This is a great benefit to China, southeast Asia, and U.S. on-line retailers such as ebay and Amazon; however, the zero tariff threshold hurts U.S. manufacturers because China and other nations do not reciprocate.

It is anticipated that USTR Lighthizer will inform congress the U.S. will lower that import threshold to match the same value level applied by other nations. Obviously the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the Wall Street multinationals will not like this approach.

WASHINGTON — The Trump administration plans to continue its aggressive trade tactics this year by pushing for a “broader reset” of the tariffs set by the World Trade Organization, a top trade official plans to tell Congress in testimony on Wednesday.

Robert E. Lighthizer, the U.S. trade representative, will tell the House Ways and Means Committee that the tariffs the organization sets for various countries are “outdated” and far above the levels charged by the United States, according to a copy of his prepared remarks.

The United States “must ensure that tariffs reflect current economic realities to protect our exporters and workers,” Mr. Lighthizer’s prepared testimony says.

The remarks suggest that American officials will continue their offensive this year on the World Trade Organization, the international body charged with writing and enforcing trade rules. (read more)

Following the four year pattern of opposition, we can well expect the majority of purchased politicians to stand against the Trump administration efforts.   That said, none of the doomsayer tariff predictions ever came true; and President Trump has the support of the majority with him against the United States Congress.
