The question around a third party has been debated on the pages of CTH for over a decade.  After CTH researched each of the last four UniParty U.S. presidential elections we came to the conclusion in 2015 it was necessary to break the two-club system.

It was the need for a third party; and CTH recognizing Donald Trump as the outside pragmatic independent voice who personified a third option; that initiated our 2015 support for what everyone was calling the “long-shot” outsider candidate at the time.

With the American electorate now awake to political issues around the UniParty; and with evidence of 74 million+ Trump voters, and entrenched republican party unwillingness to be an independent second party option; the question about a third party is far more prevalent.  In this video Dr Steve Turley uses the example of Brexit in 2019 to highlight how a third party in the U.S. could actually succeed.  WATCH:

We need to deal with the voting integrity issues on a state level, that is where we must engage and fight to fix issues with ballot fraud.   That fix requires state legislation to address and control mail-in ballot use. They cannot use the COVID excuse forever.

Then, and only then, I would take the third party discussion one step further….

… Given what we have witnessed in the past four years, how can we fathom NOT creating a third party?   The two current parties, democrat and republican, are wings of the exact same big government bird.  There is no viable option except to form another party.

The “reform from within” proposal is a good idea; meaning to take over the apparatus of the GOP and force change from within the party.  However, unlike the EU models cited there are structural protective systems within the DNC and RNC that protect them from being taken over.  We are seeing that structural issue with RNC support for newly elected terrible candidates like Mitt Romney in 2018.

The RNC doesn’t even attempt to field or enlist candidates against weak or ineffective republican incumbents.  Exactly the opposite is true.  The RNC will not support, with logistics or data sharing as examples, any primary challenges against incumbent Republican politicians.

This is how the club retains control and protection over the members; so it is somewhat of a futile effort to attempt to takeover a party that has built in self-defense mechanisms.  Just look at how the RNC structurally failed to legally (or proactively) support President Trump, because from the outset never passed the club’s entry and purity test.

As a consequence a third party is needed even if you want to take over the republican party as the long-term goal.  There needs to be an architecture, a framework, for a challenger to mount a primary effort against an incumbent RINO or uniparty republican.

The primary challenge framework needs to include independent fundraising systems outside the RNC control.  That independent financial mechanism is how Donald Trump was eventually able to mount a successful insurgency against the RNC candidates in 2016.

Without a third party influence; and considering the rule-books used by the RNC; the predictable 2024 republican presidential election will field these final four candidates.

DeSantis is closest to MAGA.  Noem is MAGA-lite with Koch Brothers edge.  Haley will be the supported RNC candidate. Cruz (term expires in 2024) will play the role of controlled opposition, conservative-base splitter, all while gaining material wealth.

CTH can clearly see this traditional RNC approach with Nikki Haley in 2024 as the establishment front-runner like Jeb Bush in 2016.

If we do not initiate an outsider option using the MAGA community as the base, these four will be used by the RNC to install Nikki Haley.

The final RNC club argument will come down to club elites who demand that a woman be the next Republican front-runner.  Those same elites will have “Palinized” Kristi Noem by implanting club operatives inside the Noem camp intended to undermine her campaign.

Any candidate working inside the RNC club structure will be vulnerable to the RNC club leveraging against them at a specific moment.  The club pick is already well known to those who have: (a) followed the club ¹events; (b) followed the years of club rule-books; and (c) who know the exact road-map the club deploys for every election.

[¹Use CTH site search tool.  Type in “Nikki Haley – then spend a few hours catching up]

If there is no outside candidate with independent resources the club will pick Nikki Haley just like the club was trying to pick Jeb Bush (’16)…. just like the club picked Mitt Romney (’12),.. just like the club picked John McCain (’08)…  Wash-Rinse-Repeat.

The outsider (3rd party candidate) needs to be the MAGA candidate, and that structural support needs to exist early on, just like outsider Trump was able to create in 2015.

We need to work on this soon and create the third-party endorsement system quickly to start preparing with valid candidates for the 2022 mid-term primary races.

The Saul Alinsky playbook “Rules for Radicals”, the roadmap to target political opposition, has been the primary strategic tool in the arsenal of Obama-era operatives for the past several decades.  One of the key strategies outlined is “freezing your opposition” and contains three elements: Isolate, Ridicule, Marginalize.

In the modern era these same strategies were applied over social media through the control mechanisms of Big Tech platforms. Today, that crew made their biggest move to date.  Facebook Announcement:

It is important to remember, while the target in this instance is Donald J Trump, the United States President, this ‘weaponized-for-politics‘ approach has been taken several times before by these same technology and communication operatives.

[SIDE NOTE: Factually, the first deployment of Facebook and Twitter for these political intents was in Egypt and the mid-east during the “Arab Spring”]

The goal of social media deployment in this way is fundamentally unchanged from the old school use of the Alinsky playbook before the era of social media.  Targeting political opposition using the three prongs of “Isolation-Marginalization-Ridicule” is the same use of the same strategy using modern technology.

No doubt there was a general strategy amid the political-left to drive a wedge in the MAGA coalition and stimulate a “violent extremist” narrative about the assembly yesterday in Washington DC.  Their unified approach was somewhat predictable as the Trump coalition is a serious threat to both wings of the political UniParty (Big Club) alliance.

President Trump and the 80+ million American Trump supporters, nationalists and populists, are a risk to those who use politics as a control mechanism; the same risk carried by the Yellow-vested populists in France and Europe.

The elite class of one-world globalists view these political nationalists (ie. America-First) as a threat to the larger objectives of control.  Thus we see these same Alinsky strategies deployed everywhere around the globe with various nuances specific to the region.

After the events in Washington DC yesterday we received several contacts noting the first shot at a well coordinated and pre-planned operation was likely the deplatforming of CTH because of our known skillset of connecting historic dots to the current events.   Indeed CTH has been warning about the looming deployment of these familiar strategies against Donald Trump both before and after the election.

The goal is to destroy populism; attack the MAGA movement, the actual threat to the system, by making anything related to Donald Trump controversial.  This is the exact same approach used against other figures -who also represented a threat- with significant success; see: Sarah Palin.

Over the last several years, we have allowed President Trump to use our platform consistent with our own rules, at times removing content or labeling his posts when they violate our policies.

We did this because we believe that the public has a right to the broadest possible access to political speech, even controversial speech. But the current context is now fundamentally different, involving use of our platform to incite violent insurrection against a democratically elected government. (Facebook)

Corporate Media and Big Tech, the foot-soldiers for the larger globalist movement, need to paint President Trump supporters as extremists, domestic terrorists, racists, etc in order to justify their approach to shut down voices in opposition to their masters, The Big Club.

This approach shuts down communication lines from the leadership and gives justification for the weak supporting elements within the network (ie republican politicians) to not fight against the real enemy.  The goal is always to make the target controversial.

[Other references (narrative assemblies) to create controversial isolation include Charlottesville (racism), and even the original narrative of the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic in the spring of 2020 (heartless, uncaring etc).]

The key is to understand what we are seeing today is a strategy.  This is a part of a specific strategy that is repeated whenever any voice rises to prominence that is defined as a threat to the system of larger control, The Big Club.

You defeat these strategies by inoculating yourself against their effort, and understanding the reality they are trying to create is a false illusion.  It is not real.  Additionally, it becomes even more important to remember you are not alone; your thoughts, beliefs and perspectives on liberty and freedom are held by the majority.

There are, quite simply, more of us than them; however, they control the communication networks and platform.  We anticipated this.  We have been forced to deal with this and plan for this.  That is why CTH 2.0 is so heavily focused on keeping our assembly together using an anti-fragile framework.  Every battle is connected to the same war.

Facebook, Twitter and other technology groups will enlist a larger growing chorus of corporate and financial entities to assist the objective.

This is only the beginning.

DRAIN THE DEEP STATE SWAMP

Kelly Loeffler lost a very close Senate race in Georgia.  Even though the voting in that state was likely corrupted due to the Dominion voting machines, she gave up. Now she’s given up on the electoral vote protest. Here is her statement,

“The events that have transpired today have forced me to reconsider and I cannot now in good conscience object to the certification of these electors.”

Loeffler typifies other Senators, including Steve Daines in my home state of Montana. He too was offended by the protest at our nation’s capitol, so now he too will no longer object to the presidential race being blatantly stolen. He will never get my vote again. 

This was the Swamp’s plan all along. Make access to the capitol building as easy as pie. Sprinkle in some of their violent Antifa members to stir up trouble. Then blame it all on President Trump, thus defusing any real objection to the electoral count.

Traitors Pence, McConnell, and Romney must be delighted.

At the very least, Trump supporters got their chance to voice concern over a stolen election—one Trump won by a landslide. What happened on Wednesday can’t be ignored and we aren’t going away.

The coup is complete. They have defeated their enemy – Trump. They now occupy the Hill. They will now become the ultimate enemy of the people. Pence is now under pressure to invoke the 25th Amendment and remove Trump by tomorrow as President. There is a push to do this tomorrow, claiming urgency. Many people are resigning now rather than just waiting for the 20th. The word is out to invoke the 25th Amendment and then this alone would prevent him from running again which is their real concern. Additionally, claims he would invoke Martial law are really absurd. The military will not follow Trump at this stage. It is over. This was in the works for some time and it is the result of the Supreme Court refusing to take any case. All others will now be dismissed as moot.

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.

Armstrong Economics Blog/Economics Re-Posted Jan 7, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

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.
