What is going to happen in November 2020? That's the question I get asked most frequently these days.
The election seems to be on the majority of people's minds even more so that the coronavirus pandemic. In the summer of 2016, I accurately predicted that Donald Trump would enter the White House; and I met endless opposition to the idea. At the time, an overwhelming number of analysts in the liberty movement assumed Trump would lose, and that Clinton, by hook or by crook, would become president. Obviously, this was not the case.
I made the call on a Trump presidency for a number of reasons. For one, Clinton was the worst possible candidate who could have been chosen to run against him. The DNC had rigged the primary process against Bernie Sanders in order to push Clinton through, yet she was universally hated... not just by conservatives, but also by moderate liberals. Democrats tend to draw a larger voter base by running younger and more "vibrant" candidates, yet they ran one of the oldest and most decrepit creatures they had on their roster. Though all the polling said Clinton would win in a landslide, the crowds at her campaign events were tiny and devoid of energy. It was clear that she had zero momentum.
It was almost as if she was being set up to lose. But why? Trump's rhetoric was anti-globalist and his calls to "drain the swamp" were resonating with voters. Would this not greatly damage or expose the establishment agenda?
Here's what people need to understand...
Sometimes giving an enemy a false sense of security by allowing them a minor victory is the best strategy. The globalists strategize for the long term; not just for the next four years, but for the next 40 years. As Richard N. Gardner, former deputy assistant Secretary of State for International Organizations under Kennedy and Johnson and a member of the Trilateral Commission, wrote in the April 1974 issue of the Council on Foreign Relation's (CFR) journal Foreign Affairs (pg. 558) in an article titled "The Hard Road To World Order"...
In short, the 'house of world order' will have to be built from the bottom up rather than from the top down. It will look like a great 'booming, buzzing confusion,' to use William James' famous description of reality, but an end run around national sovereignty, eroding it piece by piece, will accomplish much more than the old-fashioned frontal assault.
My prediction on Trump becoming president was not only based on Clinton's inadequacy as a candidate, but also on Trump's usefulness as a scapegoat for collapse. Keep in mind that the U.S. economy had been struggling to maintain support since the crash of 2008. With all major fundamentals either stagnant or in decline and with corporate debt, consumer debt and national debt skyrocketing, an enormous bubble was being created in the U.S. economy. This bubble was being inflated by the Federal Reserve through endless stimulus policies to the point that the economy had become addicted to it. The system was dependent on it.
Eventually, this bubble was going to pop regardless of how much money was printed by the Fed. The banking elites needed a cover event and a scapegoat for the inevitable collapse they had engineered.
With Clinton in office, the globalists would get the blame for the crash. With Trump in office, conservatives get the blame for the crash.
Trump's entry into the White House brought hope for many conservatives, but I never put much faith in the eventual outcome once I realized the same elites who had infested previous administrations were now packed into Trump's cabinet. The fact of the matter is, Trump is surrounded by them.
Dozens of members of the CFR reside in Trump's cabinet, along with elites like Pompeo, Mnuchin, Ross, Kudlow, Lighthizer, Fauci, etc. Mike Pompeo is a hardcore neo-con with longtime support for numerous unconstitutional policies including mass surveillance of Americans. Steve Mnuchin is former Goldman Sachs. Wilber Ross is an agent for the Rothschild banking syndicate. Larry Kudlow is a former New York Federal Reserve. Robert Lighthizer is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations. And Fauci is the guy who gave millions of dollars to the Level 4 lab in Wuhan, China, to research none other than coronavirus transmission from bats to other mammals; the same lab that is probably responsible for the current pandemic.
One could debate whether or not Trump is aware that he is being swarmed by globalist ghouls, but it is a fact that these people still have considerable influence over White House policy either way.
This brings us to 2020. We are now in the middle of a viral pandemic; government officials and establishment elites are calling for extensive economic lockdowns in order to "flatten the curve" and slow the infection rate. These lockdowns are accelerating the decline of the already-weakened U.S. economy and setting the country up for collapse in the near term. Civil unrest is constantly on the verge of breaking out on both sides of the political divide.
The social justice cultists want chaos in the name of bringing down the system and replacing it with some kind of Marxist Utopia. Conservatives are ready to protest and perhaps even go to war in order to stop the lockdowns and prevent medical tyranny (and I agree with them). This is the background for election 2020, and it's an epic mess.
For the past few months, my suspicion is that there might not be an election at all. But let's look at the factors that are in place:
Joe Biden, the Dem candidate, appears to have stage four dementia. Either that, or he is a very good actor. This is another situation where I am questioning why? Why would the establishment run Biden (like they ran Clinton), perhaps the worst possible choice if they hope to rally people against Trump and conservatives? Maybe Trump is meant to stay in office for another four years, because the first time Biden has to debate Trump in public, I suspect he will be annihilated (again, unless his Alzheimer's is an act).
Leftists hate Trump so thoroughly that they would vote for anyone at this point just to get rid of him, but moderate Dems will probably sit out the election again if Biden continues his displays of mental frailty.
The pandemic lockdowns and viral spread are likely to hit hard by November. There is a chance that people will find it difficult to vote at all unless the votes are handled by mail or electronically.
Electronic or mail-in voting will not be trusted by the public on either side. Whoever wins will be accused of cheating.
Civil unrest and violence are almost guaranteed in the lead up to the elections, which could frighten people away from voting booths if they are even in operation.
These factors and more lead me to predict that Election 2020 will be a contested election that ends with Trump staying in office but accused of usurping the democratic process. This outcome is the worst possible outcome and also the most advantageous for the globalist establishment.
The elites are even hinting publicly that this is about to happen. For those of you who have been reading my work for many years, the name "Max Boot" might sound familiar. In an article published in 2016, I outlined writings by Council on Foreign Relations member Max Boot on the Malaysian Model, a method he describes as the perfect strategy for taking control of a population and destroying an insurgency.
The model calls for the institution of city-sized concentration camps which are used to isolate a rebellion away from the general population. The population in these cities is then subjected to extreme tracking and control measures, while the military is sent out to rural areas to eliminate potential insurgent threats.
Well, Boot is back again, this time writing an article about how he thinks Donald Trump will try to hijack the presidency in 2020.
In an article for The Washington Post titled "What If Trump Loses But Insists He Won," Boot outlines a scenario that was "war gamed" by a group called the Transition Integrity Project. The group predicted a razor-thin victory for Joe Biden, followed by actions by Trump to keep control of the presidency through lies and legal wrangling. The group also predicted civil unrest leading to potential "civil war" as the fight over the White House expands.
This article is, I believe, an attempt at predictive programming by the CFR. They are telling us exactly what is about to happen. A contested election, civil war, martial law, economic collapse and the U.S. will be destroyed from within. The CFR and its longtime goal of erasing U.S. sovereignty would then be nearly complete. All that would be left is to ensure they are the people who get to rebuild America from the ashes. This cannot be allowed to happen.
I continue to predict that the plan is to destroy the U.S. as we know it and blame conservatives in the process. With so many elites inhabiting Trump's cabinet, this outcome would be easy for them to engineer. That said, the end game is not in the hands of the elites. It's in the hands of conservatives.
The temptation for conservatives will be to fully embrace government power in order to stop the leftists, but this will lead to disaster and require us to abandon our constitutional principles. If we refuse to support martial law measures, if we stand by our principles of limited government and if we fight back against the globalists specifically instead of only focusing on the political left, then there is a chance we can stop them from taking control. But, if we bow to government power and hand over our freedom just to defeat the left, then we will lose the greater battle against globalism in the long run.
To truth and knowledge,
