I have warned that Mitch McConnell is one of the Swamp Creatures. He has been secretly been anti-Trump from the start. Sources are now saying that he is instructing Republican senators that they are free to convict Trump and it is a matter of personal conscience. This has been his plan all along. The elite Republicans, like John McCain, were always anti-Trump because he was an outsider. McConnell is the very reason we may see a third party rise up in 2022. I would think that the only Republican who could perhaps stand his ground would be Governor DeSantis of Florida.

McConnell thinks that they can ban Trump from running again and he can return Washington to the Swamp. Even the whole GameStop event was inspired by the same anti-establishment. Both the Democrats and Republicans think the people are just stupid sheep and banning Trump from ever running again will kill the movement. What we are witnessing is McConnel destroying the Republican Party for it will split. This is no longer about Trump, this is about his dishonest actions all along which encouraged the Democrats to bring the impeachment with the sole objective of banned Trump from holding any office ever again. McConnell just wants the swamp back the way it was and you can bet he will no defend your liberty.

These people in Washington live in their own bubble. They have become the enemy of the people who they can run on one issue and then impose a host of other things nobody ever voted for and they have the audacity to call this “democracy” but it goes against then it is suddenly evil “populism.” Congress is at the very bottom of the Gallup Poll on trustworthy careers. They have become not “honorable” as they call themselves, but the scum of society.

Extermi9nating Trump from politics will not end the anti-establishment movement. They will unleash a garage of legal actions against him to further try to prevent him from entering any role in politics running even for dog-catcher. Yet Trumpism, as they call it,  is not new at all and they prefer to think this is all just Trump and not about them in the least.

This anti-establishment has been a growing philosophy of distrust and discontent which over the course of years has manifested a bipartisan populist undercurrent that stretches back through Pat Buchanan, Ross Perot, Barry Goldwater, George Wallace, Huey Long, William Jennings Bryan, and even Andrew Jackson – the people against the establishment.

The London FT did a piece on “populism” and how all the politicians were frightened that they could be thrown out after Trump won in 2016. As the FT said, populism “horrified” the global political elite because they feared losing power!

They hate democracy and see “populism” as something not to be tolerated. Even Schwab is hinting that we, the Great Unwashed, who are just too stupid to be able to vote should just resolve to be like worker ants and serve the hive.

Mitch McConnell is no different from Pelosi or Schumer. They are all keepers of the Swamp.

The Democrats are really destroying jobs and the economy in order to bring about Biden’s Build Back Better agenda created by Klau Schwab. They are deliberately trying to destroy jobs that they think threaten the environment which will result also in higher heating bills for people in the very northern states that are so Democratic. The effort to shut down Pipeline #5 which feeds much of Michigan with natural gas from Canada will leave people freezing in the winter with no viable green alternative.

Germany rejected nuclear power after the Japanese problem. Then Merkel has put the country on wind and solar reducing coal all for the green agenda. But as our models have been warning, we are NOT headed into global warming, but toward global cooling. This introduces a serious problem. During severe winter storms, wind declines and temperature plummet. The expansion of wind power in 2020 has resulted in the collapse of Renewable Energy production to its lowest level since the introduction of the Renewable Energy Act (EEG) in 2000. As solar panels are buried in snow and the lack of wind, Germans are having to bear a very cold winter yearning to bring back coal production and nuclear. What may sound good in theory,  like equality for all under Communism, results in a very different outcome.

The stark collapse in the velocity of money reflects the real expectations of the future. With Biden taking the White House, international capital simply does not believe the election was fair. The doubt about Biden really winning the election seems to be even stronger outside the United States than within based on all the emails we are getting. This lack of confidence is what we are witnessing in the stunning collapse in the velocity of money. That decline from 2007 subsided and began to improve with the election of Trump. But as the Pandemic was created, that velocity took a nosedive that looks more like the collapse of the monetary system of Rome during the 3rd century AD. This collapse has been simply unprecedented thanks to this politically manufactured pandemic.

The movement against capitalism is very broad and the politicians have caused this crisis to further their agenda. Governments were shaken by the election of Donald Trump in 2016. That is why they have brought this impeachment – they are trying to drive a stake in the heart of democracy which they call “populism” for we are too stupid to know who to vote for.

They have had the audacity to even claim that this pandemic has created a further gap in inequality so they must avenge the poor, who they deliberately made poorer knowing they can not work remotely. Kristalina Georgieva, managing director of the International Monetary Fund board member of the World Economic Forum with Schwab. Her lack of impartiality is deeply disturbing. She says neoliberalism has failed. With every breath, she pushes for the end of democracy.

She now supports the surrender of all liberty as he hinted at the WEF and clearly said that “unless capitalism globally brings people closer together, we won’t be winners after this crisis.” She added that the pandemic had widened the gap between wealthy and poorer nations and that global cooperation on addressing a crisis that knew no borders was “not up to par.” But it has been the very lockdowns that has destroyed our culture. There are studies showing that these lockdowns have been ineffective. Indeed, never before in 6,000 years of recorded history has any government EVER shut down its entire economy because of some disease. There is absolutely NO historical precedent that any such measure has EVER be used. This has been a huge experiment by the left to take control of the globe counting on the stupidity of the majority to just follow orders as the Nazis defended themselves at the Nuremberg trials.

Hospitality is dead because they do not people traveling for that will add to CO2 and pose a risk of revolution ios people are allowed to freely communicate. That’s where BigTech comes in to shut down free speech. Theatre and the arts have been wiped out. Even fashion shows have come to an end.

They have terrorized people with this virus with a kill ratio of only 0.028% far below the 1918 Spanish Flu which was nearly 3%. The birth rate has collapsed even by 15% in China in 2020. If the sheep do not wake up and very soon, they will see only with hindsight what liberty once was. They desperately needed to create this Pandemic because unemployment under Trump reached a historic post-Depression low. The only times unemployment was lower was during war. Capitalism was improving and even black unemployment reached a historic low.

Even in the United States, the Democrats’ victory is razor-thin holding just 50.4%. The left was losing so they needed so desperately to create a false narrative or risk forever collapsing. We have plenty of readers who were once behind the Iron Curtain. They fear more than anyone for they see what took place there is unfolding right here. I cannot stress enough that beware of QAnon. I believe this is a false move intended to draw out people who would resist the take over by the left. Anatoliy Golitsyn was a former KGB officer who defected. He exposed fake dissents to the West which were a ploy of disinformation.

Golitsyn’s book is very good at explaining what I have been warning about. They create fake movements to draw out opposition and identify who they are. He wrote:

The Soviet security service was reorganized, renamed the OGPU, and given new political tasks. It was directed to mount disinformation and political operations. False opposition movements were set up and controlled secretly by the OGPU. They were designed to attract to their ranks genuine opponents of the regime inside and outside the country. These innocent persons could then be used by the regime in various ways. They could act as channels for disinformation; they could be blackmailed and recruited as agents; they could be arrested and given public trials. A characteristic, but not unique, example of this technique is provided by the so-called “Trust” operation.

This entire Impeachment is organized by the Swamp for the sole purpose to strip Trump of the right to ever hold office again. This is a democracy they are trying to prevent. I have stated many times that when Ronald Regan was elected, he was a mere governor they considered in Washington to be an “outsider” and thereby not trustworthy. When he was elected, the word was that they will have to “train” him to reduce his threat to the swamp. This is why they hated Trump so much and this included Republicans like John McCain. It was McCain who handed the fake dossier from Hillary to the FBI to start the entire Russia conspiracy. I have stated plenty of times that it was the Clinton’s behind the bankers’ attempt to take over Russia and blackmail Yeltsin in 2000 which ended up resulting in Yeltsin turning to Putin. That is why Hillary claim it was a retaliation of Putin against her in 2016 to put Trump in the White House.

This entire impeachment is the Swamp trying to prevent Trump from ever running again. If he was criminally charged he could still run for president. That is not a bar to an office like Nelson Mandella. They will always imprison people on fake charges to stop them politically. Impeachment is the ONLY way to prevent Trump from running so that is what is going on here. This is the Swamp Strikes Back.
