Good grief, talk about burning cash…. According to Politico, the three corporate super PACs and the Nikki Haley campaign have spent almost $30 million in New Hampshire on ad buys.
Three super PACs backing Haley — SFA Fund (aka Randal and Barbara Smith, Alden Global Capital), Americans for Prosperity (aka Charles Koch) and Independents Moving the Needle (aka Jonathan Bush, the cousin of former President George W. Bush, billionaire CEO Frank Laukien, and Big Pharma) have spent more than $24 million across TV, radio and digital ads targeting New Hampshire, according to data from AdImpact, an ad tracking platform. Haley’s own campaign has chipped in another $4.7 million.
NOTE: Ron DeSantis has not run any ads in New Hampshire since November, and the DeSantis camp have no additional advertising commitments in any state, including South Carolina. It would appear the DeSantis campaign is low on cash and being very selective about spending prior to announcing their exit.
[…] According to an additional tracking service, AdImpact Politics, the last DeSantis ad to air on television was Monday, the night of the Iowa caucuses, which he lost by 30 points. That is reportedly the longest period his campaign and PACs Never Back Down, Fight Right, and Good Fight have gone without appearing on the airwaves. (MORE)
President Trump is leading Nikki Haley in New Hampshire polling 53% to 36%. Ron DeSantis has 6.6% support. {source}
President Trump played this primary contest brilliantly, with a little assist from divine providence.
President Trump kicked off his campaign in South Carolina and now has the teams of the governor and both senators on his side. The South Carolina electorate is filled with MAGA base supporters, and Trump has essentially funneled DeSantis and Haley into a no-win position.
Knock out Haley in New Hampshire, crush them both in Nevada with an Iowa like outcome, then stomp them in their fallback position, South Carolina.
This primary contest should be over immediately following South Carolina.

My humorous post about McDonald’s celebrating Davos with the McKlausbug burger deluxe was a pretend advertisement, for now, but McDonald’s is a World Economic Forum partner. This is relevant as McDonald’s is the second-largest private employer in the world. Their chains run across 100 countries, in nearly 40,000 stores, serving about 69 million customers daily. The yellow arches may be one of the first images that come to mind when you think of capitalism and the United States in general, but the company has set its sights on the nation that will replace America as the world’s financial capital.
CEO Chris Kempczinski has said that the Israel-Palestine war had a “meaningful business impact” as people on both sides are boycotting the restaurant chain, with most believing the establishment is pro-Israel. Less than half of their locations are located in the US, and although their business is performing well in America, the fast-food chain is betting on the future of China.
McDonald’s plans to expand by 10,000 new restaurants by 2027, with one-third of those establishments opening in China. The company expanded its dealings in China from 20% to 48% in November 2023 after purchasing shares owned by investment firm, the Carlyle Group. Their analytics found China to be the fastest-growing consumer economy, but it was not always this way. Due to low demand, McDonald’s was forced to sell off nearly 80% of its Chinese interests in 2016.
So, what was happening in China during 2016? In 2016, China’s growth dropped to 6.7%, marking the slowest pace of growth in 25 years. Fixed asset investment was no longer coming from the private sector, posing a challenge to the economy’s growth and development. The government’s attempts to inject funds into the economy through various means, including easing credit in the real estate sector, did not yield the desired results. This raised concerns about the effectiveness of the stimulus measures. China also faced challenges related to a weak banking system, overreliance on fixed investment and government support for state-owned firms, and increasing debt levels.
Additionally, the world could not see China as anything but a Communist nation. Corporations and institutions see it otherwise; they see the lucrative business potential and a growing middle class eager to spend. Hence, they are heavily investing in future business ventures there.
China’s economy turned around in 2017, as predicted by our computer. Large-scale capital investment, financed by large domestic savings and foreign investment, and rapid productivity growth helped the economy recover. These two factors appeared to have gone hand in hand, with consumption being a major growth driver, contributing 58.8% to GDP growth in 2017.
The 2018 special report, “China on the Rise,”further explains how Socrates has been honing in on China, whose economy is expected to surpass that of the United States by 2032. With special attention to the Chinese yuan and Shanghai composite, this report examines how, when, and why China will become the new financial capital of the world.
China now has a growing middle class with some expendable income. Big corporations like McDonald’s see China as the next big opportunity, as our computer has been outlining for some time.

The Department of Justice finally acknowledged that the Laptop From Hell did indeed belong to Hunter Biden. Apple provided the DOJ with information from the laptop years ago after compiling data from Hunter’s iCloud, leading to a multi-year propaganda campaign from the White House.
This scandal is far more significant than the president’s son engaging in illicit activities with drugs, guns, and prostitutes. This scandal exposes the corruption across the intelligence community – the FBI, CIA, and DOJ are in the establishment’s pocket. Most damning of all, the laptop legitimacy proves Joe Biden’s TREASONOUS dealings with foreign actors. The former Vice President of the United States, now POTUS, sold state secrets for his own profit.
Before Joe Biden’s mind deteriorated, he was helping his son make big moves in China and Ukraine. Text messages have been released that show Hunter Biden threatening a CHICOM official while allegedly sitting next to his father, the then-vice president. “I will make certain that between the man sitting next to me and every person he knows and my ability to forever hold a grudge that you will regret not following my direction. I am sitting here waiting for the call with my father,” Hunter sent to Chicom official Henry Zhao.
“I have never spoken to my son about his overseas business dealings,” Joe Biden stated. And yet, he used Air Force Two to shuttle his son to meeting across the globe on taxpayers’ dime. Cathay Bankrevealed the Biden Crime Family’s activities in April of 2023. Senator Ron Johnson of Wisconsin and Senator Charles Grassley of Iowa presented the finding to the Senate but nothing was done. The Senators penned a joint letter, stating:
“The convergence of the Biden family’s political and business lives began during the Obama-Biden Administration. Obama Administration White House visitor logs show Hunter Biden’s business partner visited the White House at least 27 times during President Biden’s vice presidency. Hunter Biden’s business partner—Eric Schwerin—was later nominated for a position in the Obama-Biden Administration and handled then-Vice President Biden’s tax returns while he was in office and Schwerin was president of Rosemont Seneca Partners— another Hunter Biden-affiliated company. Republicans must track the dollars to uncover whether the current President himself benefitted from these transactions and whether the payments were from nations opposed to U.S. interests.”
A poll taken a few weeks after the Cathay Bank revelations showed that 67% of Americans wanted Joe Biden impeached for abusing his political power for profit. Around the same time, the House Judiciary Committee sent a letter addressed to Secretary of State Anthony Blinken that revealed Biden and Blinken deliberately created the story that Hunter’s “laptop from hell” was “Russian disinformation” in order to help him steal the election.
All social media platforms were prohibited from mentioning anything regarding the contents on the laptop ahead of the 2020 US Presidential Election. Questioning the existence of the laptop was prohibited and deemed a dangerous conspiracy. To make the lie more believable, Hunter Biden countersued the laptop repair shop owner. The poor soul who discovered the laptop did not realize that turning the computer over to the FBI was a mistake since the department is the establishment’s personal Gestapo.
Russia was blamed for spreading disinformation ahead of the 2020 US Presidential Election. Russia fabricated the story of the laptop from hell, and the MAGA supporters were spreading misinformation on their behalf. Donald Trump was investigated for questioning the Biden Crime Family and “10% for the Big Guy.”
Joe Biden is a treasonous liar. Hunter Biden is a foul human being, but he is not up for election. Has Biden not already done enough damage to America? I assure you it can get worse. America today is not the America we once knew before he was elected. The nation is completely under the control of the global elites, who are using a senile elderly man as their puppet.
The Pfizer and Moderna vaccines are mRNA vaccines, which contain tiny fragments of the genetic material known as “messenger ribonucleic acid.” There have been deep concerns that this entire technology may have long-term implications for human society. There was a Swedish study that tested whether the vaccine’s mRNA could be converted to DNA and found that this was the case in certain lab-altered liver cell lines under experimental conditions. The mainstream media immediately came charging out to defend Pfizer, as always. They immediately downplayed the study, claiming that it did not assess whether the vaccine alters the human genome or what the effects of that would be. The mainstream media was banning anyone who dared to say the vaccines were harmful in any possible way.
The mainstream media sought out people who would defend Pfizer, calling them experts, saying additional research is needed because the findings in the lab setting cannot be used to make inferences about what might happen in a human body. This has led to a lot of people hoping that journalists defending Pfizer were really vaccinated rather than with water, for they deserve what they have sown. You do not mandate the entire world to be vaccinated with anything that has not been tested for long-term effects. That is no different than the medical experiments carried out by the Nazis.
I did an interview in Canada back in 2020, and I just mentioned that the whole COVID-19 was a scam based on SOURCES that Klaus Schwab told friends before anyone heard of COVID-19 that a “virus was coming.” The interviewer was suddenly canceled. My sources are renowned. I stated emphatically that Schwab had made phone calls and told people a virus was coming. This was BEFORE anyone heard of COVID-19.
This is a tactic of psychological warfare. You demonize something or someone, and you create such fear that you turn to them as your savior. COVID-19, I believe, was deliberately created in a lab; I had information in ADVANCE that a “virus was coming,” and that was told to friends of Schwab. This was used for absolute tyranny, and they are using Climate Change in the very same manner.
The truth is starting to surface. This miscarriage rate among vaccinated girls is off the charts. I know of young girls who were vaccinated and began to experience problems with their periods. We know that Fauci gave questionable testimony. I know of several people who suddenly had cancers emerge months after being vaccinated and who were in perfect health before. I know of several young people who died of heart problems in their 20s after being vaccinated. Mainstream media has conspired against the people and refuses to expose anything except cancel everyone who dares to question the narrative.
The real question is, was this an intentional effort to reduce the world population, which has also been a stated goal of Bill Gates and his pet billionaires? When will someone start a class action suit against these people and demand all the communications between them? They are going after Trump and all his Twitter files. How about those involved in COVID-19 right through to the WEF? Defend the people just for once instead of trying to silence all dissent.
Bill Gates told the world: “But you don’t have a choice. People act like you have a choice, you don’t have a choice,” Bill Gates proclaimed three years ago in regards to the mRNA vaccine. He financially benefited from this, owning all sorts of rights, and NOBODY dares to ask anything!
There is something VERY VERY VERY wrong here. This is from the CDC’s website, which clearly has a section on the measles vaccine (MMR), warning that those who have these conditions should NOT be vaccinated. That is absent concerning COVID. Why?
Now, here is the page from the CDC on the COVID-19 vaccine, which they have taken down. There is no section whatsoever to warn people who should NOT be vaccinated. Why? Not only has the mainstream media conspired against the people, but our own governments.
The Monetary System is collapsing. I believe Schwab has taken our 2032 and converted it into his Great Reset, which he intends to create his version of Communism or modern-day Serfdom. They know the system is collapsing, and this is all about power and how to retain it over the scum beneath their feet – we, the people. What mainstream media is covering up is absolutely sickening. They have sown their own future, for when 2032 comes, I am sure that the people will rise-up and ensure that any such media operation is ever again conspiring against the people and that they deserve the worst criminal penalty possible.
Since the Biden Administration has adopted an open border policy, Texas has implemented a state law whereby they will arrest all illegal aliens entering their state. The federal government has done everything to prevent Texas from stopping the surge of migrants and neither side will cave. “The recent actions by the State of Texas have impeded operations of the Border Patrol. Those actions conflict with the authority and duties of Border Patrol under federal law and are preempted under the Supremacy Clause of the Constitution. Texas’s actions also improperly seek to regulate the federal government,” the DHS said in a letter to Texas AG Ken Paxton. Texas responded by saying it will “not surrender to Biden’s destructive open-border policies.”
A mother and her two children drowned in the river while crossing into Texas. The federal government is solely blaming Texas rather than their failed policies that invited people to cross into the nation in the first place. The Mexican government stepped in to retrieve the family, and US Border Patrol did not show up until after the incident. Forget the millions who have died from the drugs and crime crossing into the US; the MSM will now focus on these three people over the coming weeks.
Numerous Republican governors in other states, especially the south, are sending resources to Texas immediately. Around 100 migrants are crossing into Texas from this specific area every HOUR. This is one of the dirtiest ploys in recent political history. The year 2023 marked the first time in modern US history that the number of migrants far outpaced the number of births in America. The demographics of America have been permanently altered and people are continuing to pile into the country. The Democrats admitted the open border policy was a deliberate attempt to flood the nation with people who would vote for socialistic policies as the usher in the New World Order, but most were utterly clueless regarding the resources required to carry out their failed scheme. Now, their Sanctuary cities and states are in ruin; they have run out of resources.
The far-left told migrants to come to America where the American dream would await them. The American Dream of the 1950s is DEAD. Even hardworking Americans can no longer obtain the lifestyle that was once promised and provided to legal immigrants. These migrants today are unable to work and expect the taxpaying citizens of this nation to pay for their new lives. The future of our nation depends on stopping the deliberate invasion of America.
Klaus Schwab is, in my opinion, a very dangerous person. He thinks he is so smart that only he knows how the world should function – the typical academic self-grandization. Adding your 2-cents to a debate is one thing, but Klaus tries to control the debate. I have to hand it to him, he has created the WEF which by itself is a billion dollar company. He has sought to bring in politicians and then sells tickets to businessmen with the chance of rubbing shoulders with these people. It is all about influence.
Schwab is attracted to money. Here in this video clip, Schwab is on stage with the Russian/American businessman Sergey Mikhailovich Brin, who is a co-founder of Google with Larry Page. Brin was the president of Google’s parent company, Alphabet Inc. until they stepped down on December 3, 2019. However, he and Page remain at Alphabet as controlling shareholders and board members. According to Bloomberg, he is the 9th-richest person in the world. That is the money that attracts Schwab like a mosquito to a buglight.
Klaus Schwab has been against democracy, taking the position of the Greek philosophers who were against Democracy because the people were too stupid and uneducated. In Schwab’s 8 points for his Great Reset, he included the end of Democracy. This video clips show him with the co-founder of Google putting forth the idea that AI can predict the next election, so it is no longer necessary to have elections. Once again, this is all about creating a totalitarian government where we do as we are told – or else, as he runs the WEF.
Socrates has forecasted many events, from the collapse of governments and war to the various elections. Socrates, indeed, was the only one to forecast that Trump would win in 2016, and it projected in 1985 that the 2016 election would be the first time a possible third-party candidate would win. It also forecasted that BREXIT would win, which was also against all the polls. Thus, does this mean we eliminate elections and just let Socrates pick the heads of state?
To understand HOW Socrates has been able to forecast such events is entirely relying upon CYCLICAL ANALYSIS. It sees the economic trends, and whenever you turn the economy down, there will always be a political change. That means Schwab envisions the same as Karl Marx’s – the perfect world that eliminates the business cycle by eliminating private ownership. People are stupid, and Schwab knows that. Anyone who reads Aristotle or Plato understands their low regard for Democracy, which has influenced Marx and Schwab.
Many people may be stupid enough to fall for these COVID-19 and Climate Change scams, and they can easily vote themselves into Schwab’s world. But Schwab overlooks that they will eventually realize they must shoot their way out of his world of Serdom 2.0. However, As Abraham Lincoln warned:
“You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time.”
Schwab’s WEF will also crash and burn, and this is what Schwab not only cannot see but also fails to understand: Nothing lasts forever – not even his WEF. The companies who stand in line to kiss Schwab’s ring like the new godfather of the world need to be carefully scrutinized, for by joining this WEF, they may not realize what his true end goal is, but they are a part of undermining the future of even their own families. It is beyond question that our children and grandchildren will NEVER know the freedoms we enjoyed growing up. Those days are gone!
Socrates forecasts the future BECAUSE there is a business cycle. Academics reject the idea of a business cycle because they want to be our new landlord, and we are to be the mere serfs beneath their feet. We are always too stupid to know what is best for the nation or even how to raise our children. Schwab is trying to eliminate private wealth and our right to vote on anything, recreating Serfdom 2.0, where we work for the landlord who would graciously allow us to hide in his castle when invaders came.
In fact, Abraham Lincoln drew his Emancipation Proclamation taking the actions of Tsar Alexander II (b: 1818; 1855–1881), who issued his own Emancipation Manifesto on March 3rd, 1861, emancipating 23 million Russian serfs. American abolitionists cheered his action and pushed for Lincoln to do the same, which he finally did on January 1st, 1863, concerning the slaves. Russians were actually shocked when the American states descended into armed conflict over the issue that was carried out without a civil war freeing the serfs.
Schwab has tapped into peer pressure among the elites. Everyone wants to be there because everyone else is there. You have the weak-minded who go along with his ideas because of who he is – not because the ideas are even revolutionary. They are selling humanity down the path of serfdom, and they can neither see the conclusion nor do they have the courage to stand up and say what the world is thinking, as in the meme.
Message: Anecdotal Information I live in Iowa and wanted you to know that my Caucus site had gobs and gobs of Democrats come in and change registration to vote. Everyone I talked with voted for Haley in this case. If this was consistent across the state, the real numbers here are much, much lower. KO
REPLY: A vote for Killi Haley is a vote to send your children to die on a foreign battlefield. She is a Neocon, which is why the Democrats are pushing her to promote World War III. To imply that Hamas invaded Israel on Putin’s birthday as some present is just too much. It was Iran that provided the intelligence to Hamas, and Israel knew about the attack. Egypt, which is an ally of Putin, warned Israel about the attack, but it was ignored. Our sources state that 40% of the invasion force was non-Palestinians. Truth is always the first victim in war and politics.
Challenges have plagued election officials nationally to remove Trump from the ballot to “save democracy” by preventing Trump as a candidate. There are now some 60 petitions being filed across the country. This is all hinging on the Supreme Court to rule.

Klaus Schwab is a notorious control freak. He is applying that trait to the entire world. His World Economic Forum has issued its 2024 “Global Risks Report,” where he has now declared that the NUMBER ONE threat to humanity is no longer war and Russia’s invasion of a pretend sovereign state, terrorism, or even disease after pushing that the entire world had to be vaccinated in the last fake pandemic.
Schwab has even now reduced his prior NUMBER ONE threat to humanity and climate change to NUMBER TWO to promote his one-world government with the head of the United Nations in charge, eliminating democracy and any right of the people to vote.
No, now the NUMBER ONE threat to humanity is any disagreement with this WEF agenda, which he has now classified as “misinformation and disinformation.” It is this misinformation and disinformation that is polarizing society. As they write in their report:
“Emerging as the most severe global risk anticipated over the next two years, foreign and domestic actors alike will leverage Misinformation and disinformation to further widen societal and political divides.”
Naturally, that means the only hope for humanity is now CENSORSHIP and the end of free speech. The report shows just how, step by step, we are losing all of our freedoms. As the WEF report states:
“Persistent false information (deliberate or otherwise) widely spread through media networks, shifting public opinion in a significant way towards distrust in facts and authority. Includes, but is not limited to: false, imposter, manipulated and fabricated content.”
Meanwhile, the U.S. Census Bureau has been attempting to expand its personal information on every person and their property through its mandatory American Community Survey (ACS). They also sought to expand the questions to include sexual orientation, gender identity, and the mental health of individuals in each household, in addition to any disabilities whatsoever. Many see this as another assault on our personal freedom and privacy that these additional questions amount to intimidation tactics to force people to respond by compelling speech in violation of the First Amendment and violates the right to privacy from government intrusion under the Fourth Amendment.
Add to this the elimination of paper money and forcing upon society these Central Bank Digital Currencies denied any right to vote if the people want this or not. Governments will implement total control, and this is all because, in 1913, they passed the 13th Amendment that allowed direct taxation, which the Founding Fathers prohibited. This has now evolved to their desperate quest to know everything about everyone, and if we found a $10 bill in the parking lot and did not notify them, here is your 50%.
A former board member of the WEF, then the head of the IMF, and now the head of the European Central Bank, admits there will be controls on CBDCs. I reported back in 2021 that the Bank of England proposed that digital currency should be programmable. A mother should be able to block her child from spending money on candy. If mom can do that, then Big Brother can do it on a grand scale.
Anyone who has read Marx can feel the hatred between the lines of anyone who had more than he did. He never understands humanity, and once you remove the human quality of curiosity, all advancement ceases to exist. This is what brought down communism. It was perhaps best illustrated by Nixon’s famous Kitchen Debate with Khruschev, showing how American living standards advance only because of private innovation.
I was one of the top three market makers in gold going into 1980. The IRS walked into my operations and arbitrarily declared me to be a bank. They said because the constitution had said that gold was money, I was a bank, and the fine would be $50,000 per transaction of $10,000 or more. I asked if they just wanted the keys to my business. They said no; they realized I did not know I was a bank. They came in and began auditing every transaction. I saw them pulling out names of even $3,000. When I asked, I thought this was $10,000 and up; they said if I did not want any trouble, “keep your mouth shut!” The next day, they came in with trucks and took all my records. I sent in money for my taxes in 1980, guessing what I probably made because I had no records. When I said I could not file my income tax, I was told they were auditing over 3,000 of my clients, and that took precedence. When I finally got my records back, they fined me $500,000 as a late filing fee. When I objected, they said I never asked if my account could come to their office.
I retired from the business. I did not want to be harassed every year, and the risks were far too high once they declared me to be a bank totally arbitrarily. That would NEVER have occurred under the Constitution, which prohibited direct taxation. They keep expanding their demand and power. I received a refund check from the IRS for about $100,000 one year. I deposited it. A year later, they charged me interest and penalties because I should have known it was their mistake. They are NEVER accountable for their mistakes. If you call the IRS and they tell you whatever and you follow it, if it was a mistake, that is still your fault, and you will be charged interest and penalties.
The income tax will destroy Western Society just as direct control killed Communism. This is what 2032 is all about. A friend who grew up in East Germany thought his father was going mad after the Berlin Wall fell in 1989. His father got his Stasi File and learned everyone he thought was his friend was rating him to the government. He came home and started punching holes in the wall and pulling out hidden microphones. Until he died from there on, he refused to speak to anyone other than his immediate family.
There is a light at the end of the tunnel that inspires hope. Yes, the next eight years will be chaotic – sorry about that. But ALL GOVERNMENTS FALL often by their own corruption – suicide. The more draconian they become in this desperate question to retain power, the higher the probability this will all come crashing down.
What is taking place in Europe is the direct result of Marxism since it also embraces total control of society in every aspect with regulations. When these morons imposed sanctions against Russia, they never realized that they would be not just cutting off their own economic growth. Still, they would permanently divide the world economy between US vs THEM.
Not only did the sanction backfire on especially Germany, but then they embraced Ukraine, the most corrupt government on the face of the Earth, and then stood by while the Neocons instructed the Ukraiunians to blow up Nord Strem. Oh, how they were going to bring Russia to its knees. The problem was it brought Germany and Europe to their knees. The German government headed into recession and lost almost 20 billion in euro revenues, and then they listened to the WEF and pushed at full speed into Climate Change. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz called the farmers extremists, unleashing wider discontent. Again, because of the sanction on Russia, the government was moving to end the fuel subsidies for farmers all because Germany has supported Ukraine.
Those in government are career politicians, so they will always see the world through their own self-interest. As long as there are career politicians, we will never have a government of the people by the people. The farmers have no right to protest as far as those in power see it behind closed doors. They should just shut up and obey whatever they command.
These absolute morons have turned against agriculture, and the farmers have brought Germany to a standstill as in the Netherlands. This will only become a major issue as the stupidity of those in power is hurling Western Society to the brink of its own doom, just as Communism fell because of its own inability to function rationally or efficiently.
