The Lessons of the 2020 Election


Armstrong Economics Blog/Politics Re-Posted Nov 4, 2020 by Martin Armstrong

The election is still not decided, but there are MAJOR lessons to emerge.

LESSON #1

Hillary outspent Trump in 2016 and lost. Bloomberg pouring over $100 million into Florida to defeat Trump and lost. The Democrats poured money in from around the country and spent $104 million to defeat Lyndsey Grahm and lost. The same story is appearing from around the country. The lesson to be learned:

Money cannot buy Love nor Elections!

LESSON #2

The pollsters are biased and are worthless. They claimed this was going to be a Blue Sweep and they would take the Senate, gain seats in the House, and storm the White House. The Democrats lost seats in the House and failed to take the Senate. And as for the White House, this is precisely as Socrates forecast – it would be a very close election neck & neck. They are ALWAYS wrong. They claimed Biden would take Florida and Trump won by a huge margin. South Carolina, they claimed Lydnsey Grahm would be defeated because he supported Trump and he not only won, but Trump won that state by a 14% margin.

Pollsters are Propaganda Agents Trying to Manipulate the Public

In our Special Report on the elections, we provided all the models out for years ahead. When it came to 2020, we warned that the first four models which were unanimous for Trump in 2016, were skewed 3:1 in favor of Biden this time in 2020. We showed the first 6 models and wrote:

“What we are showing overall is a much tighter race than perhaps the polls suggest putting Biden 12% ahead.”

You can see why our political reports are more reliable than polls and have long been subscribed to by political forces around the world. We do not canvas opinions and they do not reflect my personal opinion. That is simply not the way to forecast anything. This drives home the point that pollsters are simply now biased and being paid to put out fake projections in an effort to steer votes. They did that in Britain with the BREXIT vote where Socrates was again correct and all the pollsters were wrong.

We do not need to call people to ask: By the way, do you hate Trump as we do? The numbers are the number no different than markets because forecasting markets and the economy is really forecasting human nature and what they will do next. It is all the same to Socrates. Of course, mainstream media will NEVER report what Socrates does, because it is against their own agenda. The day he any of the mainstream media ever report on the success of Socrates will show there must be a major shake-up in management. They are no more reliable than pollsters anymore.

Why Smart Money will Sell Stocks in Front of a Biden Victory Because of Taxes


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

A Biden victory or even a continued round of uncertainty into early December may set off a serious liquidation before year-end. The risk of a significant tax increase next year under the Democrats would warn that you better take whatever capital gains you have this year. Some state like California has extended their ballot counting to 17 days past election day. We are looking at simply uncertainly in many respects. In a tight election and so many aspects up in the air, we can easily see this election end up in the US Supreme Court.

While some try to pretend that the market will rally under Biden, that is very unlikely with significant tax increases both on investors and corporations. A Biden victory may follow the traditional 2-year decline into 2022 which follows an 11 years rally. A decline in the market in the midst of uncertainty cannot be ruled out simply because it would be prudent to sell in 2020 before even a possible Democratic victory which unfolds with a 2021 economic seachange.

The Insanity of This Election


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

The Democrats have turned up the hatred against Republicans to new heights. They are demonizing Trump and constantly alleging he was falsely elected, and they are certain to do the same this time around. They have divided the country deeply and Trump has failed to drain the swamp. Glen Greenwald has come out and stated that the CIA was trying to overthrow Trump. There is so much internal division within the bureaucracy that a Trump victory will be by no means harmonious. He will face internal efforts as a coup continues, and 2022 does not look like a very good year.

Make no mistake about it; REGARDLESS of who wins the election, the other side will NOT accept a loss. The Democrats have been trying desperately to join this Western Coup of the Great Reset, and this is why they are funded by Soros and inspired by Bill Gates. There is no way they will simply sit on their hands. Soros will probably not even be alive for the next election in 2024. Bill Gates will be unless someone assassinates him as they at least tried with Adolf Hitler.

We are by no means heading back to the way things were. Europe is adopting the Great Reset 120%. They are banning short-term air flights and are basically banning chemicals in food production, which will only complete our model. We are looking at food shortages and famine on a global scale. Famine is already beginning in Africa, and this may simply be part of this diabolical plan against humanity to reduce the population.

Trump will stand up against this trend, but he also has so many within the government plotting to stab him in the back. Ballots are vanishing; people are discovering they voted when they did not. I have never seen any election in history this corrupt. No wonder gun sales are at record highs and ammunition is nowhere to be found. Either way, we will see violence post-election, so batten down the hatches.

The Anti-Pope Movement – Will He Be the Last Pope?


Armstrong Economics Blog/Religion Re-Posted Oct 31, 2020 by Martin Armstrong

There is probably no pope in history who has been so disliked than the current Pope Francis. He is clearly a communist and full on board with the Great Reset. This Pope is a real disgrace. He is preaching economics rather than the faith and is agreeing with Bill Gates and Klaus Schwab on everything from inequality to vaccinations. As even Forbes pointed out, this Pope came out with a “lengthy statement (entitled Evangelii Gaudium) in which one section called income inequality an injustice.” There is an uprising even brewing within the Catholic Church because this Pope is really preaching communism. “In an unprecedented move, faithful Catholics are calling for resistance against “the policies pursued by Pope Francis that threaten the West’s integrity, security and cultural identities.”

Many are point to a prophecy by an Irish saint of how many popes there would be. The prophecies of the Irish Saint Malachy, the 12th-century bishop of Armagh, have thrilled and dismayed readers for centuries. He has stated there would be only one more pope after Benedict, and during his reign comes the end of the world. So Francis could be the last. It certainly seems that this Pope is doing everything against the basic faith.

Germany Preparing to Postpone the 2021 Elections Already


Armstrong Economics Blog/Democracy Crisis Re-Posted Oct 31, 2020 by Martin Armstrong

COMMENT: Dear Marty,
as you already know the german federal parliament is called “Deutscher Bundestag“. The parliament has an institution called “Wissenschaftliche Dienste“. The staff there helps the representatives to get informations independently from the governmental executive. Wissenschaftliche Dienste wrote an advisory opinion about the question if the german federal election which is due in autumn 2021 could be postponed because of corona virus. Would it be called a conspiracy theory to conclude that someone is planning something?

Kind regards,

M

REPLY: Governments are already planning to keep this COVID-19 scam running into at least 2022. Fauci is already spinning this target of 2022. If the Democrats take the Senate, they are also planning on postponing any elections in 2022. They are all lining up to suspend our democratic rights to elections and free speech to force this Great Reset upon the world.
Note that there really is no authority to postpone elections, for this is not an epidemic that is defined as a 7.7% death rate of the population. The US population is 328 million. The COVID-19 deaths, with all other complications included, amounts to almost 230,000. To be a real epidemic we would need to see 25,256,000 deaths. A pandemic is an epidemic that has spread worldwide. We can see that this is all political for the death rate is so minimal it is by no means an epidemic.

  • AN EPIDEMIC is a disease that affects a large number of people within a community, population, or region.
  • A PANDEMIC is an epidemic that’s spread over multiple countries or continents.
  • ENDEMIC is something that belongs to a particular people or country.
  • AN OUTBREAK is a greater-than-anticipated increase in the number of endemic cases. It can also be a single case in a new area. If it’s not quickly controlled, an outbreak can become an epidemic (see Intermountain Healthcare.org)

This entire pandemic scare is being used to revise the world economy because they lowered interest rates to negative in 2013 and after 6 years they have been unable to stimulate the economy. All the economic theories have failed so they are choosing to adopt the Marxist Agenda proposed by Klaud Schwab and Thomas Piketty to impose totalitarianism.

German Elections Postponement

Here is the Wissenschaftliche Dienste report and it concludes if there is an epidemic, then they can postpone the elections. What is significant here is that they were even asked for an opinion.

“The postponement of an election date once set within the time corridor can occur due to special, extraordinary circumstances. Such important reasons can, for example, include natural disasters, unrest, epidemics or large-scale strikes. However, irrelevant considerations may not be included, nor may the reasons appear arbitrary. In this respect, weighty, legally significant public interests or aspects of the common good are relevant. It is not necessary, however, that it is “Absolutely imperative” reasons.”

Greenwald Forced to Resign as the Intercept Protects Biden Censoring all Hunter Biden


Armstrong Economics Blog/Press Re-Posted Oct 29, 2020 by Martin Armstrong

I seriously think there is no human being who could have honestly forecast that this election would be the most corrupt election in American history years in advance. What is going on is far beyond what I think anyone would have ever imagined. If you wrote a book outlining this, it would have been rejected by any editor as not even believable.

Now Glen Greenwald has resigned from the Intercept which would not allow him to publish articles on the Hunter Biden scandal. It was Greenwald who literally risked his life to publish the Edward Snowden material. Under this censorship today, neither the Snowden nor even Watergate would be permitted to be published.

Greenwald wrote:

“The same trends of repression, censorship and ideological homogeneity plaguing the national press generally have engulfed the media outlet I co-founded, culminating in censorship of my own articles.”

Warsaw Protests Massive Police Invation & Arrests Against Lockdown

Common Theme: All Protestors are Far-Right Nazis


Armstrong Economics Blog/Italy Re-Posted Oct 29, 2020 by Martin Armstrong

The Italian press is keeping the theme that anyone who dares to protest and complain about lockdowns is a worthless far-right person who does not deserve even to live. They have turned the police against the people by claiming anyone who resists is really a criminal. This is how tyranny unfolds. They demonize anyone who resists, and we are all just to lay down all our rights. All tyrannical governments in history have routinely turned anyone in opposition is a criminal — e.g., Stalin. This is what becomes the “new norm” and why revolutions will follow. It is just standard throughout history. Only when the police refuse to follow the decrees of the government will there is a bloodless revolution.

Berlin Protest 10-28-2020 & the Tipping Point


Armstrong Economics Blog/Civil Unrest Re-Posted Oct 28, 2020 by Martin Armstrong

19Today we had another demonstration in Berlin. This time, people remained in their cars, busses, and trucks again along the Kurfürstendamm, Berlin’s most known shopping street. All people from the event as well as the tourism industry have joined. This is the response to the officially confirmed second lockdown starting from November, 2nd. Instead of people walking and they are banning such gatherings, this time they are driving vehicles down the street.Under the new lockdown, all restaurants, bars need to close. All entertainment such as cinemas, concert halls, theatres, operas, events will be closed. The swimming centers and gyms need to close. All sport team activities are banned and any private traveling is prohibited. Hotel stays are only allowed for business trips exclusively.German Lockdown 10-28-2020Attached is the official Lockdown Order of MerkelWith so many members of the German government coming out against Merkel, such as the German Minister of Health who admitted that the lockdowns were a mistake, one must question if Merkel has not been bribed. Now the data on the COVID situation and mortality in Germany has surfaced showing that there has “apparently never been an epidemiological emergency.” Nevertheless, we have to come to the realization that this has nothing to do with protecting people.

 This appears to be intended to try to crush the economy so that the people will accept the crumbs being offered and sign on to this new world of totalitarianism promoted by the World Economic Forum and funded by Bill Gates. Big Tech are all lining up with Gates from Twitter, Facebook, and Google censoring any anti-comments about COVID-19. Destroying businesses on a wholesale basis seems to be intended to create this new world where you own nothing. They then seem to be looking at nationalizing the big ones that they also push against the wall. This is becoming one giant step forward to push Western Society into the waiting arms of Klaus Schwab. They overestimate their power and underestimate that it only takes 40% of the population to disagree and become active to overthrow a government – i.e. American and French Revolutions.At some point, the police and/or army will divide and wake up and realize that by oppressing the people just following orders as they claim at the Nuremberg Trials, they are also acting against their own families and destroying their future. That will be the tipping point.
